Chapter 235 - 235 In Her Eyes
235 In Her Eyes
Su Qian still didn’t know that his hunch was actually right. As a very talented actor, he was very sensitive to emotional changes between people.
Kong Yue led Su Qing into the kitchen and used her favorite fresh pork rib soup to cook hot noodles for her. Seeing Su Qing sit obediently in front of her and eat the noodles, she felt a sense of peace in her heart.
She thought about the scene just now and asked Su Qing gently, “So Qingqing, how did you meet Huo Qi? Did something happen between the two of you?”
Su Qing paused and looked up at her gentle mother. After a long silence, she roughly explained the situation yesterday.
Of course, Su Qing removed any mention of the dangerous and cruel scenes. “I saved Huo Qi once, so this can be considered repaying him for saving me previously.”
Kong Yue was indeed very surprised by what had happened to Su Qing these past two days. She also knew that this kind of thing was definitely not something they could ask. The Divine Seal Bureau’s confidentiality measures had always been the tightest in this country.
However, compared to these operations that needed to be kept a secret, what puzzled Kong Yue even more was Su Qing’s extraordinary care and special treatment of Huo Qi!
Kong Yue frowned slightly. She looked at Su Qing and said patiently and gently, “I know that your job is very special. I’m not trying to ask you anything. I’m just concerned about you and hope that you can grow up healthy and happy! You’re still so young. I hope you won’t be affected by external factors. I don’t object to dating, but it not be with someone like Huo Qi?”
Su Qing couldn’t understand why her mother would suddenly say this. A strange displeasure flashed across her heart. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked calmly, “Why can’t it be Huo Qi?”
Kong Yue was slightly stunned, as though she didn’t expect Su Qing to focus on this. She pondered for a moment and said gently, “I’ll ask you a few questions now. Tell me when you’ve thought about it, alright?”
When Su Qing heard this, she nodded. It just so happened that she had some questions to ask her mother.
“Qingqing, do you like Huo Qi? Do you want to be with him? Or rather, do you feel happy when the two of you are together?” Kong Yue saw Su Qing’s puzzled expression and asked in a gentle voice.
Su Qing slowly leaned towards Kong Yue and blinked her ignorant eyes at her.
After a long while, she said, “Actually, I don’t know if I like him or not! However, Huo Qi said that I like him, but I can’t tell if I like him or not, so I also want to ask you, Mommy. If I’m very worried and afraid of losing someone, does it mean I like him, Mommy? I’ve never had such a strange feeling in the past!”
As Su Qing spoke, she seemed to be very puzzled, but also seemed to have understood something. She continued, “Huo Qi gives me a very special feeling! In the past, I only felt that he was very annoying, long-winded, domineering, and unreasonable. However, after getting to know him a little better, I feel that he doesn’t seem to be such an annoying person. He is straightforward and smart, and he values his subordinates!”
“Mommy, do you know that many of Huo Qi’s brothers actually died in the rainforest? He cherished every one of his dead brothers’ name tags very much and brought them back. That’s what I saw in his backpack! This is actually a tacit habit of the soldiers on the battlefield. They have to bring the souls of the deceased soldiers home. This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the cruel and murderous gangs!”
“But that’s what Huo Qi did. This makes me look at him in a new light. I was quite happy when I saved him in the rainforest yesterday.”
Su Qing muttered a lot to Kong Yue and voiced her thoughts. This was very different from her usual quiet and indifferent appearance.
Perhaps she also felt that this was a little strange. She frowned and looked at Kong Yue in confusion, as though she could answer these questions by relying on her mother!
Perhaps Huo Qi had never noticed that Su Qing would pay so much attention to some very small details, but it was undeniable that Huo Qi was indeed a very different triad overlord.
