Chapter 478: Since You’re So Young, I Assume You’re Single

“I’m here for her.”

Huo Jinyao’s words made everyone in the office fix their eyes on Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang immediately felt extremely awkward. What was Huo Jinyao doing? It was only her first day working there.

Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao with an awkward expression, but he seemed not to notice the embarrassment on her face.

He made a few steps forward and walked up to Su Qingsang. Then, he put the box in his hand on the desk in the middle of the office.

“It’s my first time visiting you guys. I didn’t prepare any gifts for all of you, but I brought some desserts from Xiangshan. I hope you like it.”

Xiangshan. Upon hearing the word, the people in the office had their eyes glowing.

Xiangshan was a grand hotel. They did not only sell delicious food but also very famous desserts. It was said that one of the ancestors of the dessert chef in Xiangshan had made desserts for the royals long ago.

Later on, he had joined Xiangshan and made some rules. They could make three types of desserts each day, and twenty portions each kind only.

Xiangshan was opened from morning till night. Countless people would wait in line to purchase their desserts every day.

The desserts from Xiangshan needed to be ordered in advance. Surprisingly, Su Qingsang’s husband brought her colleagues desserts from Xiangshan on her first day. He must have had planned all this before already.

Su Qingsang had only been in Rong City for a short time, but Huo Jinyao had brought her and her family to Xiangshan once already, so she surely knew how the place operated.

What on earth was Huo Jinyao doing?

She couldn’t help but glare at him again and again. However, Huo Jinyao ignored the look in her eyes, but looked at the others and said, “good to see you all, I’m Huo Jinyao, Su Qingsang’s husband.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Hi.”

The girls in the office stared at Huo Jinyao. The relatively older ones, like the director, didn’t do that as they were all married. They even had grown-up children.

Unlike them, a few young nurses had their eyes fixed on Huo Jinyao, filled with astonishment. Huo Jinyao made eye contact with the nurses and recognized the look in each other’s eyes.

“Hi,” said Huo Jinyao. He spotted Sun Huiya at first glance and asked her, “you’re the director, right?”

Huo Jinyao looked at the badge that was worn on her clothes and continued asking, “director Sun?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Qingsang is still young. Director Sun, please guide her if she has problems doing her job.”

Sun Huiya had witnessed how Su Qingsang did her work in the morning. She worked hard on her first day and never talked too much. Along with the fact that she was a student of one of her old classmates, Sun Huiya had a good impression of Su Qingsang because of the quality of her work.

“Hi, Mr. Huo. Oh, we’re colleagues, and we learn from each other. We’re a team.”

“Just call me Huo, Director Sun.”

Huo Jinyao gave a wide grin, exposing his white, shiny teeth. He looked so handsome, sunny, and warm.

He managed to leave Sun Huiya with a very good impression. After Director Sun, he greeted Shen Lingyun and Yang Lu, the two vice-directors.

Huo Jinyao greeted everyone on the scene, asking people to look after Su Qingsang, who was new to the team.

He seemed not to notice Zheng Chenyu until the very end. Standing before the man, he looked at his white coat.

“Hi, Doctor. Which department you’re from?”

“I’m from the gynecology and obstetrics department as well,” Zheng Chenyu said, reaching out a hand with a smile. “Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too.” Huo Jinyao shook his hand, looked at him from head to toe, then asked, “Doctor Zheng, you look so young. You don’t have a girlfriend yet, do you?” That sounded like a casual question.

“No, my job has been keeping me busy.”

Zheng Chenyu’s smile showed that he was a little embarrassed. Being busy was one of the reasons why he was still single. More importantly, people always found it weird that he was a male doctor in the gynecology and obstetrics department.

That was the main reason why he was still unmarried. Many girls even believed that he was mentally ill because he had majored in gynecology and obstetrics.

Zheng Chenyu felt helpless about that. He was not mentally sick.

“This job does seem hard,” said Huo Jinyao. After hearing his words, Zheng Chenyu shook his hand again.

Maybe it was his illusion, but Zheng Chenyu somehow felt that the smile on Huo Jinyao’s face had suddenly become fake after he confirmed that he did not have a girlfriend indeed.

Also, Huo Jinyao shook his hand very aggressively. That hurt.

Illusion. That must be his illusion.

Huo Jinyao didn’t make Zheng Chenyu suffer a long-lasting pain, but soon let go of him.

After greeting everyone in the office, he went back to Su Qingsang and asked her, “darling, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you?” historical

He was wearing a wide grin. Su Qingsang felt that he had emphasized the word ‘darling,’ to sound extra affectionate.

Su Qingsang looked at him helplessly.

“No, I’m about to have some with the rest of my colleagues.”

“I see.” Huo Jinyao put on a disappointed face and said, “alright. I thought we could have lunch together.”

“Of course you can.” Sun Huiya’s past experiences allowed her to read the look on Huo Jinyao’s face. She said, “Su, just go with Huo. We’re colleagues now. We’ll have plenty of other chances to eat together.”

Alright, she was calling him Huo already. She really did like him, didn’t she?

Su Qingsang gave Huo Jinyao a glance. After apologizing to Director Sun and her other colleagues, she left together with Huo Jinyao.

She pulled a long face once she walked out of the hospital.

Huo Jinyao put an arm around her shoulder and asked, “darling, what do you want for lunch?”

Su Qingsang stayed silent. She really couldn’t accept that Huo Jinyao had come to the hospital without warning her in advance.

“Darling, what’s wrong?”

Su Qingsang didn’t say anything but kept walking forward. Huo Jinyao followed her in front and looked at her face. “Darling, are you feeling unwell? Darling...”

They were about to arrive at the place where Su Qingsang had parked her car, but still, she stayed quiet. Huo Jinyao walked side by side with her. He spoke to Su Qingsang in a voice that was softer than before. “Darling, are you mad?”

Mad?

“How can I be mad at you? You just visited my colleagues and kindly brought them desserts from Xiangshan. I couldn’t thank you enough.”

She was obviously mad. Huo Jinyao held her hand and said, “darling, I was just worried about you.”

Su Qingsang refused to work in the private hospital which was run by Cheng Xianyun. However, in a public hospital, there were other problems. There would be more patients and much more work to do. Also, the relationship between her and her colleagues could become complicated.

Was he worried about her? Su Qingsang abruptly looked at Huo Jinyao. “Huo Jinyao, Mr. Huo, do you have any idea that this is my first day?”

“I do.”

“How are my colleagues going to look at me from now on, since you have done this on my first day?”

“What did I do?” Huo Jinyao blinked his eyes. It was funny that a tall man like him actually wore a facial expression like that.

The corner of Su Qingsang’s mouth twitched slightly. “You came here and asked everyone to look after me. Why do I need anyone to look after me? I’m here to work, not to be looked after.”

Su Qingsang was now the daughter of a wealthy family, but she still hadn’t changed some of her old habits.

She liked to keep a low profile, to work in a simple environment. She tried not to let people know about her family background.

Was that still possible after that after what Huo Jinyao had done today?

Huo Jinyao still had no idea what he had done. He believed he did the right thing. Su Qingsang felt like cutting open his head to figure out what he was thinking about.

Huo Jinyao stood there and stayed silent with a very sad face. Su Qingsang was going to open the car door, but noticing him being like that, she paused.

“What are you doing?”

“Darling.” It was noontime. Not many people were in the parking lot, so Huo Jinyao wasn’t worried that someone might see him like that. “I’m so sad.”

Su Qingsang stared straight at his face to find out if he was pretending. The grievance in his eyes didn’t seem fake.

“I was really worried about you. I know this is your first day, so I came here to check on you.”

Huo Jinyao’s gentle voice sounded so sad, almost tearful.

Su Qingsang opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t have the heart to blame him again.

She took a step forward and walked up to him. She said, “alright, I’m not mad.”

“You are. You are mad.”

“I really am not,” said Su Qingsang, with her voice, raised slightly. Realizing that her attitude wasn’t appropriate, she lowered her voice again and continued with, “I’m just not used to that yet.”

She had started her first day at the hospital alone when she was in Lin City. She had been alone all these years.

Besides, she was working, not fighting a war. What Huo Jinyao did at the hospital really made her feel awkward.

“Alright. I’m really not mad. But next time, can you call me in advance before you plan on doing something like that? So that I can be prepared.”

Huo Jinyao was still wearing a pitiful, sad face. Su Qingsang gave a sigh and said, “alright, do whatever you want. You can come to visit me at work anytime you want, okay?”

Finally, the ‘sadness’ on Huo Jinyao’s face faded a little. He looked at Su Qingsang and asked her carefully, “darling, are you really not mad?”

“I’ve told you that I’m not mad.” Su Qingsang felt like screaming.

“Then can we go for lunch now?”

“Yes.” Su Qingsang didn’t know what else to say at that moment. Forget it. Huo Jinyao had visited her out of goodwill. What could she say about that?

She turned to open the car door, feeling a little guilty. He had kindly come to visit her on her first day at work, but she lost her temper at him. That was not good.

Maybe she could make it up to Huo Jinyao at night.

Su Qingsang was having some thoughts in her mind, so she didn’t notice how the sad look on Huo Jinyao’s face disappeared without a trace once she turned around.

He had come to visit her on purpose. He was working, but suddenly, it crossed his mind that Su Qingsang was having her first day at work. He knew that she was pretty and she looked young.

She was a doctor, so she couldn’t wear her wedding ring at work. Most of the doctors in the gynecology and obstetrics department were females, but that department was not the only department in the hospital.

Besides, the hospital was larger than the one in Lin City. It must surely have more doctors than that one too.

Someone like Zuo Hongchen could exist among those doctors. He had to let those people know that Su Qingsang was a married woman.

Thankfully, he did that. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that there was actually a male doctor in the gynecology and obstetrics department.
