Huo Jinyao looked at Zuo Hongchen, who had appeared out of nowhere, and turned to face Su Qingsang.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Sweetheart, you didn’t say Senior Zuo was going with you?”

“I didn’t say he wasn’t.”

As a matter of fact, Su Qingsang was also confused. She had read the list and Zuo Hongchen’s name had not been on it. Why was he here?

Zuo Hongchen had a much gentler expression on his face than Huo Jinyao did. He carried two bags, which looked even fuller than the one Huo Jinyao had just carried for her.

“Qingsang.” Zuo Hongchen put one of the two bags into Su Qingsang’s hand, as if he didn’t see Huo Jinyao. “I bought you some food, so that you can eat on the way.”

He gave the other bag to Director Li, the leader of the medical team.

Su Qingsang’s luggage had been put on the bus by Huo Jinyao and she had in her hand the snacks that Huo Jinyao had bought for her.

Now, she looked at the other bag that Zuo Hongchen handed her. Then, she looked at Huo Jinyao’s gloomy face. She didn’t take the bag.

“What’s the matter?” Zuo Hongchen looked at her and then at Huo Jinyao. “It’s just some food. I’m sure Mr. Huo won’t mind, will he?”

Huo Jinyao twitched his lips. He did mind, of course.

Huo Jinyao put on a false smile as he stepped forward. With one hand, he grabbed Su Qingsang while, with the other, he took the Zuo Hongchen’s bag.

“Of course not. Why would I?”

As he spoke, he put the bag into Director Li’s hand. “You should all thank Senior Zuo.”

Zuo Hongchen’s smile was a little stiff. He turned to Su Qingsang and said, “Qingsang, I have something else to do so I can’t go with you this time. Take care of yourself and—”

“Don’t worry. She will.” Huo Jinyao broke in, “Qingsang is old enough to take good care of herself.”

Su Qingsang’s mouth twitched as she remembered the man who had talked to her as if she were a child last night.

Zuo Hongchen looked at Su Qingsang and felt that he could not say too much more in front of that many people, especially not in front of Huo Jinyao.

“Director Li.” Turning to Director Li, Zuo Hongchen smiled and said, “This will be difficult for you. Take care of the ladies.”

Many people here knew that Zuo Hongchen was Su Qingsang’s Senior Brother, so what he had just said wouldn’t lead to much speculation.

Now, he specifically pointed out the care that shoud be taken for the ladies. Director Li smiled and said, “Yes. Don’t worry. I certainly will.”

Su Qingsang didn’t think much about it either. It made sense that Zuo would give her the food; he was always kind to people. Huo Jinyao’s reaction, however, had surprised her a little. This guy really turned into a hedgehog every time he saw her close to another man.

She was speechless about it and felt even more uncomfortable when she saw the playful looks from the rest of the medical team.

“Well, I’m going to get on the bus. You can go now.”

“Sweetheart.” With his hand still on her shoulder, Huo Jinyao glanced at Zuo Hongchen. His meaning was obvious—If Zuo Hongchen wasn’t leaving, neither would he.

“That’s enough,” Su Qingsang whispered. “Leave quickly. Aren’t you going to work today?”

“I still have time. I will see you off first.”

“I am here with many colleagues and superiors. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

“I’m not worried.” Huo Jinyao looked calm and said, “It’s just that you will be away from home for a long time. You must allow me to look at you for a little while longer now.”
