Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Top Male Green Tea
Huo Family.
Sun Weing was holding onto that laptop, refusing to let go.
He sat in the living room, staring at Qiao Xi, and said, “I think you should still keep so distance from Zhong Yi. He really likes you. You never know when he’ll find a chance to make a move. I’m a man; I know best.”
Like when drunk, or given a drug… though drugging is impossible, Qiao Xi can counteract it herself.
Between n and won, things can easily get out of hand.
He knew this well.
Qiao Xi was holding a cushion, half of her body sunk into the soft sofa.
She frowned and said, “He’s not that kind of person. Even if he was… I’ve kept my distance.”
Sun Weing raised his voice, “He’s already trying to find reasons to apply dicine to you. Is this what you call keeping distance? He clearly wants physical contact with you. There were and Wan Jiang in the room, yet he specifically sought you out.”
“But usually with other patients…”
“How is that the sa! That Young Master Zhong is really a master of playing tricks with words. Is he the sa as other patients?”
Qiao Xi was a bit confused.
She wanted to treat everyone the sa way, but it seed she couldn’t.
Seeing her blank and sowhat bewildered expression, Sun Weing moved closer and said, “He likes you. Any of your actions are signals to him. Your contact isn’t pure. He wants you to treat him as a patient to lower your guard.”
“But if it’s a friend, I could help with dicine too.”
As a doctor, Qiao Xi couldn’t avoid this.
“That’s exactly Zhong Yi’s cleverness! He’s using your professional duties to get close to you. What if he asked you to feed him, would you agree?”
Qiao Xi shook her head.
Of course not.
She even corrected the terms of address with Wan Jiang; she’s no longer Miss Qiao but Doctor Qiao or Young Madam Huo.
“Truly cunning!”
Sun Weing sighed, “No wonder Huo Xingzhou sees him as a formidable enemy. Luckily I was there with you. Otherwise, who knows how much he’d have taken advantage of you.”
Qiao Xi looked at him with mixed feelings, “Young Master Sun, I’m not that foolish.”
It was just about applying dicine.
“I’ve decided, whenever you et Zhong Yi from now on, I’ll be there!”
“Okay.” Qiao Xi didn’t refuse. Having Sun Weing with her could avoid so awkward situations.
Sun Weing opened the laptop and browsed through the videos in the folder once more, looking quite pleased.
Qiao Xi reminded him, “Young Master Sun, why don’t you watch it in your room?”
“What relationship do we share? I’ll just lower the volu and browse quickly. I’m just counting how many videos there are. This folder has both complete and edited versions, adding up to more than ten hours. How long have they been secretly in touch?”
“In touch for what?”
A male voice ca from the entrance.
Huo Xingzhou unfastened his tie with one hand and walked in.
Qiao Xi was surprised to see him, “Why are you back?”
“Sothing happened.”
Huo Xingzhou said expressionlessly, “The Guan Family’s business ran into trouble. At such a critical ti, the old man ended up in the ergency room again.”
Qiao Xi stood up abruptly, “Ergency?”
“He’s safe now, but needs to recuperate well. With the new Big Four Families’ selection coming soon, this isn’t good news.”
Huo Xingzhou poured a glass of warm water and took a sip.
His Adam’s apple moved.
Qiao Xi took a mont and said, “As long as he’s fine. It’s just a pity my Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles can’t treat Guan Wenli.”
“The Guan Family’s decline was expected, lacking follow-through. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rushed Guan Jingtan into marriage. They need to fight for their own future.”
Like rowing against the current, one must move forward or be left behind.
In the business world, this has always been the case.
Qiao Xi snapped back to reality and walked to his side, “This sort of thing wouldn’t really make you rush ho.”
Huo Xingzhou brushed her hand with his cool fingers, “I was afraid soone might take advantage of my absence at ho.”
Qiao Xi laughed at his teasing.
Sun Weing, hearing this, quickly added embellishnts, recounting what happened with the Zhong Family.
Finally, he sumd up, “Zhong Yi is truly the top green tea* male. Huo Xingzhou, I think you can’t beat him in that. Both n and won fall for his act, you should really learn! But I assure you, Qiao Xi has always maintained her distance and wasn’t swayed by the male vixen.”
He took out his phone, “I have evidence!”
Young Master Sun played a recording and scrolled to the critical point.
The sound of Qiao Xi’s voice filled the living room.
“He’s the most important… you’re important too.”
“This line! Qiao Xi ans you’re the most important in her heart!”
Qiao Xi took a deep breath, really wanting to scold Young Master Sun.
“Sun Weing, you should go back to your room. I want to talk to Qiao Xi alone.” Huo Xingzhou also found the noise a bit much, as Sun Weing was chattering incessantly like spilling beans.
“Alright then.”
Sun Weing carried his laptop upstairs, still reluctant to leave.
Qiao Xi breathed a little easier.
Huo Xingzhou held her hand tightly and said, “I’ve made an appointnt for your prenatal checkup this afternoon. It’s just the right ti now.”
“Today isn’t the scheduled day for a check-up.”
“I just want to confirm sothing; I can’t wait any longer.”
He was counting the days and checking the information.
He really couldn’t wait to go to the hospital to see if she was carrying twins.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, showing so suspicion. But she didn’t refuse and obediently followed beside Huo Xingzhou, walked out of the house, and got in the car.
Old Chen started the engine and drove the car away.
Qiao Xi gazed at the scenery outside the window and softly asked, “What about Jiaojiao and the Xie Family?”
“They’ll get engaged first and then register the marriage. The Xie Family will host a small engagent banquet first, a public declaration of an alliance. The wedding ceremony will be held later.”
Getting engaged and registering the marriage wasn’t a surprise.
“When is the engagent banquet?”
“Next Friday at eight in the evening, the last day before New Year’s Eve.”
This timing was impeccable, like a slap in the face to the Pei Family.
Heavy and loud.
The engagent banquet on the twenty-ninth, the next day was New Year’s Eve.
Truly well played.
“On that day, the new Big Four Families will also be decided. The Xie Family will undoubtedly secure a spot, and given the Lu Family’s current prominence, they might push the Guan Family out.”
Public opinion polls and high society acceptance determine the birth of a family.
But absolute strength can defy everything!
Like the Zhong Family, with the Old Master of the Zhong Family holding the fort, they stand undefeated! No one would question the Zhong Family’s status as the first family!
Qiao Xi felt a bit regretful hearing this, “The Lu Family’s rise is partly due to us.”
They intentionally pushed the Lu Family up high so that the fall would be harder and the pain greater.
And they wouldn’t be able to recover!
Being driven to the top by their prestigious reputation made the Lu Family most constrained by their reputation!
Huo Xingzhou reached out and tousled her hair, “Soon, it’ll all be over.”
The car arrived at the Imperial Capital Private Hospital, but unexpectedly, they encountered soone familiar there.
*Note: “green tea” refers to soone who appears innocent and sweet but is manipulative or scheming.
