BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 - She’s Probably Overthinking
Huo Jinyao only noticed Su Qingsang’s hesitation after he had started to walk away. He turned around to look at her. “What’s wrong?”
Su Qingsang shook her head and tried to take the ring off, but Huo Jinyao put it back on her finger again.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”
“It’s not that.” Su Qingsang stared at Huo Jinyao’s face, wondering what to say. “I just think that this is too much. How could you buy me such a big ring? You didn’t even think about how pretentious it would be to wear it.”
It was too ostentatious whether or not it was real or fake.
Huo Jinyao scratched his head. “Don’t women like big rings? I thought the brighter it was the better?”
It’s not easy to find such a big pink diamond like this, let alone one with such clarity. She actually doesn’t like it? Huo Jinyao thought to himself. “Says who?” He asked her.
Su Qingsang didn’t want to keep arguing with him. “It’s fine. I understand your intentions. Let me put it this away. it really isn’t suitable.”
Huo Jinyao watched as Su Qingsang put the ring, which he had spent a lot of money on and had gotten customized from Paris, into a drawer of the vanity.
His lips twitched and he said, “Wife…”
“Alright, let’s go eat.”
“Wife…” Huo Jinyao grabbed her hand and had a sad expression on his face. “Are you sure you don’t despise the fact that I bought a fake one?”
Su Qingsang’s temple twitched. It’s too crazy to think that Huo Jinyao had another identity, She thought to herself.
Huo Jinyao looked sad. He looked like a big, sad golden retriever to her.
“It really isn’t that.”
Huo Jinyao still appeared to be upset. Su Qingsang didn’t like to see him like this, so she stepped out of the room after glaring at him.
After dinner, Huo Jinyao tried to drag Su Qingsang out for a walk, but she didn’t want to move.
“You can either take a walk with me, or you can put the ring on.”
Huo Jinyao was starting to fool around again and Su Qingsang almost laughed out of anger. How can he be like this? She thought.
“I’ve already said it. The ring is too big. It draws too much attention to me when I wear it.”
Even though it’s a fake. It is still too ostentatious, alright? She thought.
“Then come take a walk with me.” Huo Jinyao grasped her hand. “We’ve been married for so long and we still haven’t had a walk together.”
The corner of Su Qingsang’s mouth twitched and Huo Jinyao shuffled her out the door.
Her apartment was pretty close to the center of the city. The two of them got dinner and walked to the street of the nearby neighborhood while holding hands.
There was a park to their left and a big supermarket to their right.
Although Su Qingsang had moved here a while ago, she hadn’t walked around this area before.
She became a little excited as Huo Jinyao dragged her along.
“Qingsang, this piece looks pretty nice. Go try it on.”
The two were walking past the window of a boutique when Huo Jinyao paused and pointed at a dress inside. He looked at Su Qingsang.
“No need. I have clothes.” She didn’t really care about what she wore or what she ate.
“Just try it.” Huo Jinyao pulled her into the shop. “I think it would look really nice on you.”
Su Qingsang glanced at the logo on the front of the store and looked back at Huo Jinyao.
“Come on. Try it on.” He insisted.
She couldn’t help but to go in to try on the dress.
It was a black lace dress. Su Qingsang’s appearance was more on the fair and gentle-looking side. She really didn’t think that such a sexy dress would suit her.
Huo Jinyao was persistent, so she couldn’t help but to go try it on.
Huo Jinyao was waiting outside and he stood up when she came out of the dressing room.
The black gave her a mysterious vibe and the lace was sexy. Su Qingsang looked totally different.
“This will do.” Huo Jinyao’s showed his admiration.
Su Qingsang awkwardly spun around and looked at Huo Jinyao in the mirror. “Does it really look pretty?”
The dress was tight and she wasn’t used to that.
“It looks very nice.” The salesclerk agreed with Huo Jinyao.
He handed Su Qingsang another dress and said, “Go try this one on too.”
“There’s no need, right?” That dress was red and Su Qingsang didn’t like to wear anything too flamboyant.
“Just try it. It doesn’t cost money to try it on.”
Huo Jinyao’s cell phone rang as he was speaking, and his expression changed slightly when he glanced at it.
