Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Huo Xingzhou Eats a Closed Door
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, but nothing ca out.
Instinctively, she didn’t want to believe these words, but she knew all too well that Huo Xingzhou wouldn’t easily lie.
He wouldn’t joke about such things.
What he said must be true.
Did Zhong Yi really say those things in front of him?
It was simply unbelievable.
Huo Xingzhou paused and said, “Once, I thought you also liked him, liked him so much that you called out his na several tis in your sleep. He wasn’t just your best friend, but your obsession. And for him, you were his unresolved longing.”
If…
That “if” made Huo Xingzhou uncomfortable at heart.
“If you hadn’t been deceived by Zhao Yuzhen into marrying in place of soone else, and Zhong Yi had co to Haicheng to find you, would you have considered being with him?”
Those wonderful past mories made him feel jealous.
No matter how he gained the upper hand, he couldn’t replace the mories of young Qiao Xi, where Zhong Yi’s shadow always lingered in her best years.
Maybe that man didn’t occupy her deepest love, but he certainly occupied her deepest pain and guilt.
Deeply engraved in her heart, unable to erase it in this lifeti.
This is the mark left on the path of a person’s growth.
Listening to his words, Qiao Xi gradually cald down.
Following Huo Xingzhou’s hypothesis, she thought seriously for a mont.
Then she said, “According to your scenario, I should now be interning at a hospital. Maybe I’d have married a doctor, or worse, been manipulated into marrying an idle rich second generation. But not Zhong Yi, because he hadn’t yet beco the Zhong Family’s heir, so he wouldn’t have been able to co find .”
She wasn’t sure about other things, but she could firmly believe that Zhong Yi would never bring danger to her.
“I wouldn’t have t you, let alone been with him.”
“What if he ca back to find you…”
Tonight, Huo Xingzhou was very persistent.
Qiao Xi looked at him and asked in return, “If you hadn’t had that car accident, then according to the elders’ arrangent, you and Xu Xingluo would already be married. What’s the point of you asking about sothing that doesn’t exist?”
She stood up and obediently placed the glass of water on the coffee table.
Then she said, “Good night, sleep early. Don’t get stuck in the study working so late; I’m heading upstairs to rest.”
She did not want to speak any words to deceive Huo Xingzhou.
Because no one knows the arrangents of fate, what she could be sure of was that she never had any feelings for Zhong Yi before.
Their relationship in the future would remain just the sa as it always was.
…
Qiao Xi’s footsteps gradually faded away.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his gaze, a faint self-deprecating smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.
At his age, he was still feeling jealous about such things.
He was sowhat out of control.
Huo Xingzhou turned around and quickly caught up the stairs.
In the corridor, he caught Qiao Xi’s hand, cornering her against the wall, his breath slightly rushed.
His breathing almost seed like it was about to spray onto her face, those deep eyes of his, as though stirred up with dust, ready to devour her.
Qiao Xi was caught off guard by the heat from his body.
She couldn’t understand why he suddenly ca after her; was it because what she said earlier wasn’t clarified enough?
Yet, she didn’t know how to explain to dispel his jealousy.
“You…”
Qiao Xi slightly parted her red lips, but still didn’t know what to say.
“Why is it that only he had the vegetable rice cakes? Is it a unique mory you share with him?”
“Ah?”
Qiao Xi thought he would blurt out so embarrassing questions, but did not expect it to be just about a bowl of vegetable rice cakes.
She was montarily at a loss.
“You made it only for him, but have never told that you are good at making this. Are you unwilling to share his things with others?”
“You’re not others!”
Qiao Xi imdiately corrected this point upon hearing it.
She shifted her body slightly, sensing him instinctively get closer, almost immobilizing her.
More like impossible to escape.
A faint anger rose in Qiao Xi’s heart as she said, “Because your stomach isn’t good! Rice cakes are made of sticky rice, which is hard to digest! So I have never made them for you, and I never saw Aunt Qian make such things for you either, I assud you didn’t like them.”
She cared about his preferences in small details.
It wasn’t solely for Zhong Yi.
A slight surprise flashed through Huo Xingzhou’s eyes.
Qiao Xi suddenly extended both hands, pushed him away, and ran into the master bedroom, locking the door for the first ti.
Calling out from behind the door, “The doctor said no intercourse in the early period, you go sleep in the guest room.”
A bowl of vegetable rice cakes, not worth such a fuss!
Angry!
Huo Xingzhou pressed his thin lips together, suddenly a glimr of a smile appeared in his eyes.
It was evident.
Qiao Xi’s answer extinguished the anger in his heart.
His mood beca a lot happier.
Only, the door was locked, she too had her little tantrums.
So, after standing in the corridor for a while, Huo Xingzhou quickly went downstairs to the living room.
Old Chen and Sun Weing were at the entrance, peeking inside, only to see Huo Xingzhou alone.
Sun Weing looked around cautiously, asking, “Where’s Qiao Xi? Why is only you here? Did you guys have a fight?”
No.
He hadn’t heard the sound of them fighting at all.
Huo Xingzhou walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine made by Qiao Xi, glanced at him, and said coldly, “Were you hoping for us to fight?”
Sun Weing muttered, “Judging by your face, wasn’t it like you were about to fight?”
“What?”
“I didn’t say anything, I said how could Zhong Yi’s place in Qiao Xi’s heart possibly compare to yours! He can’t even match a strand of your hair!”
Sun Weing said ingratiatingly.
Huo Xingzhou placed the dicinal wine on the coffee table, poured out half a glass, and sipped it.
He didn’t respond to Sun Weing’s words.
Sun Weing sidled over to him, gossiping, “It sounds like Qiao Xi and Zhong Yi did have a pretty decent relationship back in the day. Are you really going to let Zhong Yi co over for food in the future? But even if Qiao Xi doesn’t invite him, with Mr. Cheng around, he’ll still find an excuse to co.”
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, “Then let’s see how you perform.”
“You’re entrusting such an important task to ?”
“Don’t you have confidence?”
“Of course I do! Who do you think Sun Weing is!”
With such provocation, Sun Weing was fully hooked.
He promised to accomplish the task.
“That’s good then.”
Huo Xingzhou gently tugged at the corner of his mouth, his gaze slowly shifting towards the second floor.
She’d thrown a little temper, and it was rather cute.
…
Two days later.
The Traditional Chinese dicine Association held their regular monthly eting as usual.
This month, Lu Yingxue had outshone everyone, with no one able to dim her brilliance. Lu Bannong had also given a heads-up in advance, hinting at the eting’s intention to elect Lu Yingxue to a higher position, hoping for the board mbers’ support.
This was an attempt to directly elevate Lu Yingxue to the top spot in Traditional Chinese dicine.
By then, in the hearts of many ordinary people, no one like Mr. Huang, the National Doctor Cheng Han, or the elders, would compare to the na of Lu Yingxue.
Qiao Xi was still unaware of the Lu Family’s plan.
She left early with Old Chen to head to the Traditional Chinese dicine Association.
