Chapter 922 Caught

Qiao Xi turned around and saw him take off his coat and put it aside, then walked in.

He didn't go over to her side. Instead, he drank a glass of warm water and waited for the chill in his body to dissipate before sitting down next to her. Looking at the pile of herbs on the coffee table in front of him, he said, "Is this for Zhong Yi?"

"Well, he's injured."

Qiao Xi's face was solemn.

Zhong Yi's foundation has been damaged at such a young age. If she doesn't take good care of it, it may be even more difficult for her to endure when she gets older. However, this maintenance is not something she can decide alone; the patient must cooperate with her on a regular basis.

Don't be fooled by Zhong Yi's seemingly good words, he is actually not an obedient person.

Sun Weimeng chimed in, "Not only that, he's also blind. Qiao Xi was just about to ask if you could wait until he's discharged from the hospital and take him home to recuperate?"

Qiao Xi wanted to think about it again before telling Huo Xingzhou, but she didn't expect Sun Weimeng to speak so quickly.

Now that she has said it, she will no longer be pretentious.

"I do have this idea, but the Huo family belongs to you and me. So I need to ask for your opinion. It's okay if you feel it's inconvenient. You don't have to consider my feelings and accommodate me."

Qiao Xi didn't want Zhong Yi's intervention to cause Huo Xingzhou to feel resentful.

Huo Xingzhou's face was calm, and his tone was casual: "It's okay, let him stay here. You can rest assured that he's cured."

So magnanimous?

Sun Weimeng couldn't help but widen his eyes. Is this still Huo Xingzhou?

In the past, he would get jealous whenever Qiao Xi mentioned the name Zhong Yi.

Now he is willing to let his love rivals live with him and live with them.

Huo Xingzhou has changed.

Qiao Xi was also a little stunned, but then a smile appeared in her eyes: "Okay, then clean up the room on the first floor for them to stay in. He is blind, so it is not convenient for him to go up and down the stairs."

"Well, I'll let Sun Weimeng clean it up."

"Why should I clean up?" Sun Weimeng, a grown-up, had never done anything like making beds or cleaning. "Where's Xiaoyuan?"

When Huo Xingzhou heard him mention Xiaoyuan, his eyes dimmed slightly: "She is in charge of the food there recently. I asked Aunt Qian to come over from Haicheng today."

"Aunt Qian is coming?" Qiao Xi's face suddenly showed joy.

Aunt Qian was the first person she met at the Huo family, and she was very kind to her.

After arriving in the capital, Qiao Xi missed Aunt Qian terribly, and her nagging warmth. No matter how delicious Xiao Yuan's cooking was, it lacked the flavor of home. But she hadn't mentioned it, fearing that Aunt Qian's age would make it difficult for her to travel.

I originally thought that I would be able to return to Haicheng soon, but I didn't expect that Zhongyi would encounter such a thing.

Aunt Qian is coming, that’s great news.

Even Sun Weimeng couldn't help but cheer, "I miss Aunt Qian's cooking so much! When will she arrive?"

"It's just outside. Lao Chen will help with the luggage."

As soon as the words fell.

Sun Weimeng ran out in a flash, saying in a flattering tone, "Aunt Qian!"

"Aunt Qian, let me help you get your things!"

Qiao Xi quickened her pace and hurried out, the eagerness in her eyes unmistakable.

The two of them ignored Huo Xingzhou.

"Young Madam!"

Aunt Qian dropped all her bags on the ground. When she saw Qiao Xi coming out, she quickly supported her and said, "Young Madam, please be careful when you walk. The road outside is slippery and you must not fall."

Aunt Qian's eyes were filled with tears. She finally came to the imperial capital!

"Young Madam, you have lost weight! It is obvious that life in the imperial capital is not easy. Aunt Qian will definitely make you fat and plump." She pulled Qiao Xi and looked at her again and again, her eyes falling on Qiao Xi's belly again.

It's just a three-month-old belly, even if it's twins, you can't see anything.

"Oh, young lady, the food in the imperial capital must not suit your taste. I will cook authentic Haicheng dishes for you in the evening, and you will definitely enjoy it." Her first priority in coming to the imperial capital was to feed the fat young lady!

Sun Weimeng squeezed over and asked, "Aunt Qian, do you think I've lost weight?"

Aunt Qian nodded: "She's already lost weight! Aunt Qian has to cook for her! Xiaoyuan is young and her cooking skills are nowhere near as good as mine, and she doesn't know your tastes."

As soon as Aunt Qian arrived, she wanted to take the chef's seat, and she couldn't let the little girl take it away.

Qiao Xi took her arm and said affectionately, "I like Aunt Qian's cooking. It always tastes like home. Every time I'm hungry, I always hope that Aunt Qian will come to the capital. I didn't expect her to come. You must have been tired from the journey. Let's go in and rest for a while."

"That won't do. I still have so many treasures to clean up."

Aunt Qian looked at the trunk full of things and said, "These are supplements. These are the pickles I made, and some are handmade seasonings. The seasonings sold outside aren't as clean, and these pickles have very little salt. And the leafy greens here are all picked from our own small vegetable garden. These are wild delicacies, and pregnant women shouldn't eat anything with additives."

She was very thoughtful.

"And here's the baby's swaddle. I sewed it myself using patchwork fabrics I found back home."

"These are special products I brought back for my friends in the capital. Madam, you must have made quite a few friends in the capital after being here for so long. They're perfect for giving as gifts, and..."

I can’t even count the things Aunt Qian brought.

The patchwork quilt made Qiao Xi's eyes tear up. Each strip of cloth was begged from every household, and was sewn so beautifully by Aunt Qian.

Qiao Xi's throat choked with sobs: "Aunt Qian, you are so kind."

"Oh, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Madam, you must take good care of yourself and give birth to the two babies in your belly safely. From now on, I will take care of the children for you."

"Let's go back to the house first."

"Yes, yes! We can't let our young lady get cold."

Aunt Qian was about to leave with two jars in her hand, but Sun Weimeng took them over with a tactful look: "Aunt Qian, I'll do it! You and Qiao Xi go in and talk first, we'll move all these things."

"Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Sun."

Aunt Qian smiled and led Qiao Xi inside. As they walked, she asked her how many weeks she was pregnant, whether she had morning sickness, whether her taste had changed, and whether she needed to avoid certain foods.

This feeling made Qiao Xi feel warm and at peace, and she felt as if she had a backbone.

Aunt Qian is just like a mother.

Her kindness is always without purpose.

"Aunt Qian, I'm fine. Seeing you makes me even better."

Qiao Xi poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit on the sofa.

The smile on Aunt Qian's face never faded. She looked at Qiao Xi, then at Huo Xingzhou who was sitting next to her, and couldn't help nodding.

Hello everyone!

She just looks a little thinner. She has to ask Xiaoyuan what she does every day. How can she lose weight in the middle of winter?

"Master, where is Xiaoyuan?" Aunt Qian looked around but didn't see the child.

Huo Xingzhou put down his water cup and said in a somewhat cold tone, "He's been arrested."

Caught...caught?

Qiao Xi was so shocked that she almost thought she was hallucinating. Didn’t she say she was going somewhere else to cook?
