Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Is It Only Mine, Or Does He Have It Too
Qiao Xi clenched her palms, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at the entrance.
But she quickly looked away, pretending to be nonchalant. Ever since Thirteen Bay pier, her body had been feeling unwell.
The continuous worry and fear, combined with the cold wind that night.
Made her feel quite exhausted.
Seeing Zhong Yi awake and safe today, her heart cald a little.
But the idea of coaxing Huo Xingzhou kept circling in her mind, and she couldn’t completely relax.
So she forced herself to stay alert, waiting for Huo Xingzhou.
Hoping that the two of them could take the opportunity tonight to break the cold war of the past two days.
If there was any misunderstanding, she wanted to clear it up!
Moreover, she had so news to share with him. She didn’t want them to welco that good news while in a cold war.
The things Huo Sijiao bought her might not be needed for a while.
Huo Sijiao looked at her uneasy appearance, a crafty look in her eyes.
Her sister-in-law’s heart was all on her brother. As long as that outside man didn’t cause trouble, there would be no issues!
If they could have a little nephew or niece, it would even more cut off Zhong Yi’s thoughts.
Huo Sijiao was lost in her own thoughts.
After a while.
Huo Xingzhou and Sun Weing walked in one after the other, with Sun Weing carrying a thermos.
“Young master.”
Old Chen stepped forward and took Huo Xingzhou’s coat, hanging it aside.
“Brother.” Huo Sijiao smiled at Huo Xingzhou, “Did you have dinner?”
“I have, but I still have so things to do, I’ll head to the study first.”
Huo Xingzhou had a calm expression, his gaze just briefly swept over Qiao Xi’s face before he turned and headed for the stairs.
Sun Weing stretched his head towards the stairs, watching Huo Xingzhou walk away. He then turned around, lowered his voice, and said, “Company business isn’t too smooth, he had quite a big temper. Even Zhou Yu got so scared he went straight back to Haicheng.”
Qiao Xi asked worriedly, “Was the issue resolved?”
“It was resolved.” Sun Weing took a big gulp of warm water and continued, “After watching Xia Sisi’s performance, I thought of going to Tianyuan Group to check the situation.”
But unexpectedly saw Huo Xingzhou having a furious outburst.
“But he didn’t have dinner, was busy all day, and still has so international eting tonight, no idea how long that will last.”
Qiao Xi felt a pinch in her heart, glanced at the thermos on the coffee table, “Did he have the chicken soup?”
At the ntion of chicken soup.
Sun Weing’s face turned colorful and expressive.
“He drank it, but that was for lunch. He hasn’t had dinner yet, why don’t you take sothing up?”
Now the only one who could coax Huo Xingzhou into a good mood was Qiao Xi.
“Alright then.”
Qiao Xi, thinking about Huo Xingzhou, stood up and headed for the kitchen, seemingly to cook in person.
Huo Sijiao and Sun Weing exchanged a glance, and the two leaned in to whisper to each other.
“I saw Young Master Zhong at the hospital today; he spent so ti alone with my sister-in-law. When they ca out, her eyes were red, I don’t know what that man said. Later, when I sounded her out, she said she agreed to make dicinal als for Young Master Zhong.”
Hearing this, Sun Weing clenched his fists.
“She agreed? He must have coaxed her with sweet words and pitiable looks, that’s why Qiao Xi agreed. Qiao Xi has always cared about this childhood friend, now he found a chance to take advantage.”
In the past, they didn’t acknowledge each other, so it was okay.
Now these two n are tied on the sa boat, at odds with each other.
Exciting!
“I think so too!”
Huo Sijiao said indignantly, “But my sister-in-law is married to brother; no matter what tricks he uses, it will be futile.”
A figure flashed through her mind, and she started to probe Sun Weing.
“Do you think our Huo Family’s situation is very dangerous now? The Pei Family and Zhong Family’s eldest joining forces, and if the Xie Family is also convinced by their nasty thods…”
Sun Weing nodded, “Then we’d be in even worse shape! The Pei Family controls various trade ports, and Tianyuan Group can’t just give up foreign business, right? Huo Xingzhou seems quite formidable, but if so many are against him… not sure if he’ll be able to return to Haicheng safely.”
A look of worry appeared on his face as well.
Huo Sijiao was about to speak when her phone buzzed a few tis.
She picked it up and saw it was a ssage from Shen Xuanzhi.
Huo Sijiao’s face suddenly darkened, looking at those concerned ssages with so confusion and anger.
Recently, Shen Xuanzhi’s intentions have been unrestrained, as if he doesn’t care about consequences anymore.
Sun Weing sneaked a glance, raised his eyebrow, and said, “The Guan Family is now barely managing to protect themselves, we can’t count on them in our camp.”
As long as they don’t drag us down.
Huo Sijiao looked at the concerned words on the screen, her voice very soft, “I won’t try to pull the Guan Family in, don’t worry. I just find this entanglent aningless and a bit annoying.”
Once loved deeply.
Now it’s equally detested.
Saying this, Huo Sijiao blocked all of Shen Xuanzhi’s contact details.
Sun Weing stretched lazily and said, “Unrequited love! You’re going to drive him crazy! He used to suppress his feelings, and now he just can’t help caring about you, he hasn’t done anything outrageous.”
Huo Sijiao glared at him, “Thinking about another woman after getting married is the original sin!”
“Isn’t it an arranged marriage? He said he would divorce sooner or later.”
“Sun Weing! Whose side are you on? He even promised to have kids with Guan Jingtan! I’m not talking to you anymore!”
Huo Sijiao stord off in her high heels!
Sun Weing chuckled.
When it cos to love, even the most rational person can beco a madman!
Shen Xuanzhi stayed long in hatred, thinking he was rational enough but didn’t realize he couldn’t control his heart at all.
Truly pitiful!
…
7 PM.
Qiao Xi finished making a few Haicheng dishes, carried a tray upstairs.
She felt alternately cold and hot and a bit unwell.
The villa was very quiet.
As she reached the corridor, she faintly heard voices from behind the study door.
Qiao Xi gently knocked on the door.
“Co in.”
Qiao Xi heard Huo Xingzhou’s voice and pushed the door open.
Inside, Huo Xingzhou sat at the desk with a laptop in front of him. He only glanced up at her before continuing with his eting.
Speaking fluent English.
With many professional terms that made Qiao Xi feel a bit unfamiliar.
She placed the tray on a corner of the desk, pulled over a chair, and sat quietly waiting for Huo Xingzhou to finish the eting.
She didn’t know how long she waited, her hands and feet were a bit numb, and her back felt cold.
Only then did she hear Huo Xingzhou gently close the laptop.
She suddenly awoke, her voice a bit hoarse, “You’re done? Young Master Sun said you didn’t have dinner, I especially made Haicheng cuisine.”
She touched the bowl’s rim, still warm.
Then handed a pair of chopsticks to Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou gathered the papers on the desk to one side, then took the chopsticks from the tray.
Only then did he look at her.
Qiao Xi blinked, sowhat puzzled.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want Haicheng cuisine? Or… Young Master Sun said you only had so chicken soup at noon and have been working continuously, you must be hungry.”
Huo Xingzhou’s eyes were fragnted, carrying a hint of chill.
Lacking the usual tenderness.
He looked at her and asked, “Was that chicken soup made especially for , or made for Zhong Yi and shared with incidentally?”
