Chapter 730: Chapter 730: Are you seducing ?
Xie Xubai had a pair of beautiful eyes, like a serene spring when he looked at soone.
Clean and warm.
Huo Sijiao was unconsciously drawn in, listening to his voice, warm yet tinged with a faint coolness.
“The proposal for a marriage alliance in Haicheng was due to circumstances. But now, I hope you truly wish to marry .” Xie Xubai’s lips curled into a smile, “Huo Sijiao, do you have any genuine feelings for ?”
“I…” She did feel a bit of affection for Xie Xubai.
But discussing marriage still felt beyond her reach, though it was also due to circumstances.
“At the Guan Family wedding banquet, we were both drugged. But with my resolve, I wouldn’t have let you entangle like that. If it were Pei Chun, I wouldn’t have let her touch a finger of mine, let alone a strand of hair.”
But that day.
They were lost in passion.
Though they didn’t take the final step, they did everything else couples do.
Xie Xubai moved a little closer, and Huo Sijiao’s breath caught.
Her whole body tensed up.
The pleasant sandalwood scent on him ca in waves, his handso face enlarging before her.
She could clearly see his thick eyelashes.
So a man’s eyelashes could be so long, so dense.
Huo Sijiao stared at him with wide eyes.
Yet, she felt a warm kiss fall on her cheek.
Very light, very gentle.
Yet enough to make her heart pound like a drum.
“Do you dislike it when I do this?” Xie Xubai’s voice softened significantly.
Huo Sijiao felt her cheeks electrified, and honestly, she didn’t dislike it. His warm breath filled her with joy.
She gulped and shook her head.
Xie Xubai’s lips touched the corner of her mouth again, “How about this?”
It was like a feather brushing past her heart, tickling her.
But it never landed solidly?
A ridiculous thought popped into Huo Sijiao’s mind, “Xie Xubai, are you… flirting with ?”
His voice carried a hint of laughter, “You just realized?”
“You…”
Huo Sijiao felt a bit ashad and annoyed, “Xie Xubai, I warn you. Whether you agree or not, we are getting married! From tomorrow on, you announce that I, Huo Sijiao, am your official girlfriend, and keep Pei Chun away from you! You must keep your distance from the Pei Family, or if I find you being two-faced, I’ll have my brother deal with you!”
After speaking, she stood up to leave.
“Wait, your purse.”
Huo Sijiao was even angrier. She turned back to get her purse but found Xie Xubai holding her wrist.
“You ca to propose, you should leave a token. Otherwise, what if I declare you as my girlfriend tomorrow and then you go back on it?”
Huo Sijiao blushed, intending to remove the bracelet from her wrist.
But Xie Xubai stopped her, “This style of bracelet isn’t unique.”
Huo Sijiao opened her purse, filled with a phone, lipstick, and so docunts.
She was a bit exasperated, “The phone isn’t limited edition, and the lipsticks are all famous brands. Take whatever token you want! This is all I have on .”
Xie Xubai took an ID card from his wallet, “This is unique, let’s leave it here.”
“You… Xie Xubai, you really don’t miss a trick. Shouldn’t you give sothing in return?”
“Of course.”
Xie Xubai stood up, took out his ID from a drawer, and handed it to her, “This exchange is fair.”
Huo Sijiao pinched Xie Xubai’s ID, “I’m leaving now. You… don’t tempt anymore. Right now, we are only in a marriage alliance, and the future is uncertain. Since I’m helping you deal with Pei Chun, don’t side with the Pei Family.”
“Alright.”
“I’m leaving.”
She hurriedly took her things and left.
The mont the door opened, Sun Weing’s eyes, like searchlights, ca into view.
“Whoa!”
“Sun Weing, you idiot, you scared !”
“Huo Sijiao, why is your face as red as a monkey’s butt?!”
“Shut up! We’re going ho!”
Huo Sijiao quickened her pace, eager to leave this place of trouble.
Sun Weing curiously asked, “What did you and Xie Xubai do? Did you kiss or…?”
“Shut up! Keep your voice down!”
Didn’t he notice those employees watching with gossiping eyes?
Huo Sijiao felt utterly embarrassed.
How could a peck on the cheek be considered a kiss?
At most, it grazed the edge of her lips.
What filthy thoughts filled Sun Weing’s mind!
“Wait, Huo Sijiao, I’m not talking about Xie Xubai. I’m reminding you to check the news. Shouldn’t we do sothing about it? Slow down!”
Sun Weing ran to catch up.
…
At this ti.
The internet was in an uproar.
News about the Traditional Chinese dicine Association’s free clinic was flying everywhere.
Lu Yingxue had always been a hot topic, trending after every free clinic.
People praised her beauty and kind heart.
But this ti, the buzz was even greater, fueled by soone continuously buying hot searches.
The report seed objective, saying a terminally ill man caused a disturbance at the Traditional Chinese dicine Association, interrupting the clinic and causing public panic.

“If Doctor Qiao had a grudge against that madman, it should be settled privately. My Nannan is so young; if she really got infected, how could we live? We’re just an ordinary family, we can’t withstand this ordeal.”
“My Nannan is innocent, and it’s pitiful that she’s suffered such a fright at such a young age. She’ll definitely have a psychological shadow.”
Her tearful words resonated with many mothers.
“I’m not blaming Doctor Qiao. It’s a good thing she participated in the free clinic. I just didn’t expect that ordinary people like us would face life threats while seeking dical help. And those wealthy people… what’s happening in this world?”
Her lant resonated with many.
It also stirred up so people’s resentnt against the rich.
So extre individuals vented their anger on Qiao Xi, invoking the age-old victim-blaming rhetoric.
Why were others’ clinics uneventful?
But during your clinic, Qiao Xi, such a major incident happened, so it must be your fault!
The comnts boiled over!
Those nitpickers criticized Qiao Xi from her birth, saying her biological father was a murderer, and her half-sister, Xu Xingluo, was ntally abnormal.
Like father, like daughter.
They even said she brought misfortune to her foster father and her rural grandmother.
Claiming she was inferior to Lu Yingxue in dical skills, only good at putting on a show.
The comnts were appalling and shocking.
What brought public anger to a peak was an interview with Lu Yingxue.
