Qiao Xi grew up in the countryside, abandoned after her father passed away and her mother remarried. When she became an adult, her unscrupulous mother brought her back to the city to marry in place...
Chapter 478 Late-night Secret Meeting with a Male Vixen
The movement came quickly!
The bodyguards in the cafe adjusted their combat modes.
There was a lot of noise coming from outside the café.
The two figures slowly came into view of the crowd.
Sun Wei pulled Qiao Xi's wrist and walked inside, shouting, "Qiao Xi, this is it! He must be having a late-night tryst with a beauty! He came to the cafe in the middle of the night to talk about love!"
Qiao Xi followed him helplessly.
In fact, at first Sun Weimeng woke her up from her dream and said he was going to catch the adulterer.
She refused.
Huo Xingzhou doesn't look like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
But thinking that Li Nianqi could be so crazy during the day, Qiao Xi decided to follow Sun Weimeng out to see who it was that made Huo Xingzhou run out to see him in the middle of the night without telling anyone.
She was afraid that Huo Xingzhou would be in danger, so she chose to bear it alone.
As Sun Weimeng walked, he said angrily, "Let's see what that vixen looks like. I tell you, although Huo Xingzhou looks like a man of integrity, he can't stand up to the sophisticated tactics of the vixen outside."
Sun Weimeng was even angrier than her.
"Young Master Sun, slow down."
Qiao Xi reminded softly.
Sun Weimeng said righteously: "If you are slower, the fox demon will run away. I have experience in this matter."
Qiao Xi didn't dare ask him which experience he had, the experience of catching an adulterer or the experience of being caught.
Bang!
Sun Wei pushed open the glass door of the cafe with force, and the wind chimes on the door jingled.
Qiao Xi immediately saw two handsome men sitting in the corner, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
And Zhong Shao's follower Wan Jiang was even quicker to grab the notebook on the coffee table. Qiao Xi squinted her eyes and glanced at it.
Old Chen deliberately blocked Qiao Xi's sight and asked in a friendly tone, "Ahem, Madam, Young Master Sun. Why are you here so late at night?"
Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Her almond-shaped eyes glanced at Zhong Yi, and then fell on Huo Xingzhou. However, neither of the two men spoke, as if they wanted to see how she would explain.
Qiao Xi said with gritted teeth: "Come to find someone."
Old Chen asked, "What about Young Master Sun? Why don't you take a rest?"
Sun Weimeng said weakly: "I saw you sneaking out of the house when I came back from the club in the middle of the night. I suspected that you two were in collusion and were going to do something to let Qiao Xi down. So I followed you here, and then turned back to find Qiao Xi... to catch you in the act."
He muttered, "It was indeed a secret meeting in the middle of the night, but why was it a vixen man?"
Old Chen held back his laughter.
After hearing this, Huo Xingzhou's face darkened slightly: "From your tone, it seems that you are a little disappointed?"
Sun Wei shrank his neck sharply and laughed dryly twice: "How could that be? I'm just happy. Huo Xingzhou is indeed a good man in Haicheng! He runs out in the middle of the night to meet men."
Huo Xingzhou asked: "If it's a woman, I can't explain it clearly?"
"Then if you meet a woman in the middle of the night, whether it's for business or personal matters, it must be your fault! How can a sensible man go out to meet the opposite sex in the middle of the night? Isn't this a red light for marriage? What urgent matter is there that requires meeting in the middle of the night to discuss?"
Sun Weimeng was quite justified. He said that if he couldn't be loyal, he would not marry and harm the girl.
But there is still a bottom line in my values.
Old Chen silently gave Sun Weimeng a thumbs up, and even Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.
Zhong Yi leaned back in his chair with his legs bent casually, watching the excitement. He took a sip of the warm coffee and said, "Mr. Huo, why didn't you tell your wife before you went out in the middle of the night? Are you trying to be on guard against her?"
To sow discord.
Once Zhong Yi finished talking about serious matters, he could no longer coexist peacefully with Huo Xingzhou.
Especially after hearing the rumor after the Guan family’s birthday banquet, when he saw Qiao Xi again, a sour feeling in his heart emerged.
The person he wanted to protect most in his life married another man.
Sun Weimeng also put his hands on his hips and said, "Yes! Why do you have to be on guard against me and Qiao Xi?"
Qiao Xi's eyes moved around Zhong Yi's body for a few times. She didn't expect that the first time they met after coming to the imperial capital would be such a scene. Perhaps she also made fun of him.
In front of outsiders, she couldn't be as casual as Sun Shao, but had to maintain her husband's face.
Qiao Xi reached out and held Huo Xingzhou's hand, and said, "Mr. Zhong, you misunderstood. We have our own private space as husband and wife, and we don't need to report everything. I was worried about him tonight, and Mr. Sun was just joking. We are not here to catch an adulterer."
She still has some trust in Huo Xingzhou.
Given Huo Xingzhou's status and position, if he really wanted to find another woman, she couldn't stop him. If he really wanted to cheat, there was no need for him to avoid her.
After Qiao Xi said this, Zhong Yi gripped the coffee cup with such force that the knuckles turned white.
He felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, and also felt a little aggrieved.
He just provoked her, and she rushed out to protect Huo Xingzhou.
Zhong Yi stood up and said indifferently: "Now that you have arrived in the imperial capital, I should have done my best to be a good host. But it's too late today, so I'll treat you to dinner another day."
The air was filled with the sweet smell of love, and he would suffocate if he stayed any longer.
"Master Zhong, take care."
"Slow down."
Lao Chen and Sun Weimeng both greeted each other politely.
Zhong Yi paused, and suddenly turned around to look at Qiao Xi: "What about you? Don't you have anything to be polite with me? They have already greeted me."
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, but she didn't expect him to shoot back.
Her almond-shaped eyes flickered as she said, "Then Master Zhong...be careful on the road?"
"good."
Zhong Yi responded and left quickly.
Wan Jiang followed anxiously.
Sun Wei shook his head and whispered, "How weird! He made me say it even though he knew it was just a polite remark."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flickered, and he held Qiao Xi's hand tightly with his big hand.
He was very aware of Zhong Yi's little gesture. To others, it was just a polite remark, but Zhong Yi did not take Qiao Xi's words as a polite remark.
He takes it very seriously.
This seriousness made Huo Xingzhou feel sour in his heart.
He had a secret meeting with his rival late at night and was caught by his wife.
The rival even provoked her in person, but her wife was completely unaware of it.
This complex feeling cannot be described in a few words.
Huo Xingzhou frowned and said to Lao Chen and Sun Weimeng, "Go home first. You go first in one car, and we will follow."
"Okay, Master."
Lao Chen pulled Sun Weimeng out and told him to stop being a third wheel here.
The coffee shop was quiet for a while. Huo Xingzhou stroked Qiao Xi's skin with his fingertips and said, "Let's go back to the car first. It's not suitable to stay here for long."
The Xiang and Lu families should be keeping an eye on their movements, but the Xiang family has been in turmoil recently, so they can't pay attention.
But we can't be too lax.
Qiao Xi said softly, "Okay."
It just so happened that she also had a big question in her mind and wanted to ask him.
