Chapter 708: Chapter 708 Qiao Xi, I Am Very Happy
Qiao Xi felt a stir in her heart and pursed her lips.
Feed him?
She turned to look in the direction of the bathroom, where the sound of running water was coming from. Wan Jiang was busy with sothing and hadn’t co out yet.
Qiao Xi said nothing. Instead, she served a bowl of hot chicken soup and handed the spoon to Zhong Yi.
“I’ll hold the bowl for you, and you can drink with your left hand.”
Qiao Xi ca up with a compromise.
Feeding him seed too intimate.
She was now a married woman, with a jealous husband at ho who hadn’t been comforted yet.
Zhong Yi hung his head.
The splendid gentleman instantly turned into a wronged big puppy.
“You never used to be so distant with . When I was sick, you took care of . You fed dicinal decoctions, changed my towels, you did everything.”
Qiao Xi did not argue.
Instead, she looked at him with her clear almond eyes and held the bowl of soup in front of him.
Her attitude was already very clear.
She could only go as far as holding the bowl for him.
Zhong Yi felt sowhat helpless.
He was already so gravely injured, and though her heart softened a little, she still had boundaries.
Her boundary was Huo Xingzhou.
Zhong Yi could only use the spoon to drink the slightly hot Astragalus Chicken Soup.
The chicken soup was very clear and delicious.
There wasn’t a strong dicinal taste.
Zhong Yi drank half and then put down the spoon, saying, “I’ll drink the rest later tonight.”
“When it gets cold and loses its freshness, you can ask Wan Jiang to find a place to heat it up tonight.”
Losing a lot of blood requires good nourishnt.
“I know, I’ll make sure to take care of my body. Are you leaving?”
“Yes, Jiaojiao is still waiting outside for . We… have things to do in the afternoon.”
Zhong Yi smiled slightly, the fresh taste of chicken soup lingered in his mouth.
His beautiful eyes looked at Qiao Xi and said, “Earlier, the doctor said my body needs ti to recover. Don’t take Wan Jiang’s words to heart. It’s too much trouble to have you make dicinal food every day. I… will find a reliable traditional Chinese dicine practitioner later, but Lu Yingxue is unreliable, and others might have been bribed by Zhong Lingxiao…”
His pale face showed a comforting smile, “But don’t worry. How could I fail to find a good Chinese dicine practitioner?”
The more he said this.
The less Qiao Xi felt reassured.
Zhong Lingxiao could set traps in the Imperial Capital, and secretly allied with the Pei Family.
He seed determined to kill Zhong Yi.
If she hadn’t arrived in ti, Zhong Yi really would have died.
The true nature of the Imperial Capital’s Chinese dicine practitioners was unknown.
If… they really were bribed and played tricks in the dicinal food, ordinary people wouldn’t notice easily.
Qiao Xi’s expression was solemn, after pondering for a mont, she said, “Since I ca today, I’ve agreed to Wan Jiang’s request. I’ll take care of things for now and co up with a plan later.”
An image flashed through her mind.
“Will you… co to see tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
Genuine delight appeared in Zhong Yi’s eyes, “I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Qiao Xi nodded, “I’ll be going now, take a good rest.”
She stood up, tidied her things, and turned to leave.
“Qiao Xi!”
Zhong Yi called her na.
“Hmm?” Qiao Xi turned back, puzzled.
“Being able to appear before you again as Ayi, I am very happy. In the future, I will only be Ayi before you, not Zhong Yi who carries hatred and manipulates sches.”
Upon hearing this.
Qiao Xi’s lips curved slightly upward, “I’m happy too, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
He whispered.
Watched her open the door and walk out, her figure completely disappearing from the ward.
Only then did he collect his expression.
He looked at the pot of Astragalus Chicken Soup.
For the first ti, feeling that Wan Jiang had done sothing good.
Click.
The bathroom door was gently pushed open.
Wan Jiang ca out, his eyes flickering, “Young Master Zhong, Miss Lu’s chicken soup has been spilled.”
He knew how to read the situation, didn’t he?
He stayed in the bathroom for so long without coming out, though the ward didn’t have good soundproofing. So words reached his ears; he heard how humble and manipulative Young Master Zhong could be.
He was just using Miss Qiao’s compassion and kindness, hoping she’d co every day.
“Wan Jiang, what kind of look is that?”
“Young Master Zhong, I’m just looking normally.” Wan Jiang diverted the topic, “Thirteen Bay’s traces have been cleaned thoroughly; we can’t continue the investigation. Last night, the old master called , saying if you’re not dead, you’d better call back soon.”
The tone sounded like he was sure he wasn’t dead.
Zhong Yi sneered, “That old fox, can’t hide anything from him.”
Zhong Lingxiao could be fooled, others could be fooled too.
But the old master seed to be clear-headed.
Every trick appeared to escape his sharp eyes.
Except… there was one thing that was kept from him, and the corner of Zhong Yi’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
“Young Master Zhong, when Miss Lu saw you, she will definitely clear up the rumors. It’s just that the incident at Thirteen Bay was sudden; many people believe the Eldest Young Master will be the next heir, because the Pei Family supports him…”
The Pei Family hid too deep.
“Let them be.”
Zhong Yi knew he miscalculated this ti, many would lose faith in him.
But why should he care!
Fortunately, he had already made a brilliant move.
“Wan Jiang.”
“Yes, Young Master. What are your orders?”
“How long has it been since I’ve given you a raise?”
“It’s been nearly half a year.”
“Go to HR and ask for a 10% raise.”
Wan Jiang couldn’t contain his joy, “Thank you, Young Master.”
Not knowing why Young Master suddenly beca so generous, he guessed it might be for his life-risking protection at Thirteen Bay, hence the high reward.
A ten percent raise!
Wan Jiang couldn’t help but rub his hands; how much would it be in a year!
Hehehe!
…
Outside the private hospital’s main gate.
Huo Sijiao and Qiao Xi got into the car one after the other. Huo Sijiao didn’t even drive and tossed the car keys to Old Chen to take care of it.
“Old Chen, you drive to Ruisa Shopping Mall, I’m going to buy so things with my sister-in-law.”
“Alright, Miss.”
Old Chen turned the wheel and drove the car away from the hospital.
Huo Sijiao kept observing Qiao Xi from the corner of her eye, noticing her red-rimd eyes as if she’d been crying.
Her heart sank and she sighed silently.
It seed the childhood friend’s power was extraordinary; her sister-in-law actually cried.
No idea what they talked about.
“Sister-in-law.”
“Hmm?”
Qiao Xi turned to look at her.
“It’s nothing.” The words Huo Sijiao wanted to say remained unasked, instead, she said, “Today you must cooperate with ! I guarantee that when we go back, I’ll get my brother! n being angry are mostly because they’re spoiled!”
Qiao Xi smiled and said yes.
Huo Sijiao clenched her fist, hoping that today’s destination would be more effective.
Adults, after all, have nothing to be embarrassed about.
