Chapter 94: Wedding Wine, Uninvited Guests
The club is dimly lit and the atmosphere is enhanced by lighting.
Qiao Xi followed Huo Xingzhou closely, not daring to lag behind.
Finally, the waiter stopped in front of a carved wooden door and said, "Mr. Huo, this is it."
"Um."
The waiter knocked on the door and then opened it.
The laughter and music from inside rushed out the door and headed straight into Qiao Xi's ears.
"Huo Er is here!"
"Now he's not Huo Er anymore, he's the president of Tianyuan Group!"
"Zhou Yu, you're the only one who knows this! You're truly our good brother, helping Huo Xingzhou hide this from us!"
Looking inside, Qiao Xi could see seven or eight young men, but the most active was the handsome man sitting next to Zhou Yu. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and was very attentive to his appearance, looking a bit more refined than the others. He also had violet cufflinks on his wrists.
Her facial features are very three-dimensional, and her almond-shaped eyes look particularly shrewd.
He stood up, walked to the door and patted Huo Xingzhou on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you to really recover. We are happy for you."
His gaze fell on Qiao Xi again, and he looked at her with a deep gaze, which made Qiao Xi a little uncomfortable.
"This is my sister-in-law, right?" He seemed to be joking.
The man named Xiang Huai had a smile on his face, and his eyes were fixed on Qiao Xi.
Zhou Yu quickly pushed him aside and said, "Xiang Huai, don't block the door! Huo Er, Qiao Xi, come in and sit down."
He pointed to the double sofa in the middle and said, "I specially reserved a seat for you. This is the couple's seat."
"Thanks."
Huo Xingzhou said indifferently.
"Zhou Yu! Can you speak? What couple's seat? This is a couple's seat!" The young men sitting on the sofa joked and laughed.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou sat together. With his left hand loosely held, she felt much more at ease.
There is no other girl here except her.
Those people would look at her with kind eyes from time to time.
"Can my sister-in-law sing?"
"Sister-in-law, can you take my pulse? I've been feeling a little weak lately, so I have to drink two cups of wolfberry every day."
They were all very enthusiastic and stretched out their hands for Qiao Xi to take their pulse.
Except for the guy named Xiang Huai, who was sitting nearby drinking.
Qiao Xi was a little overwhelmed.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "If you want to take her pulse, go to the hospital and register. She's already off work, so don't take up her rest time."
"Yo! It's protected now!"
"How sweet."
"Huo Er, you are such a cold and lonely person, but you also have moments like this. I really can't believe it!"
They teased.
Qiao Xi smiled sheepishly and looked at Huo Xingzhou with bright eyes.
"Xingzhou, we're at the club today. You have to have a drink, otherwise the brothers won't let you leave!"
I don't know who proposed it first, but it was agreed by the majority.
"Yes! I want a drink!"
"Sister-in-law wants to drink too!"
Zhou Yu tried to smooth things over: "Everyone! This isn't appropriate! My sister-in-law is still injured, and Xingzhou has just recovered from a serious illness. We can't drink at a time like this!"
"Zhou Yu, I knew you were on their side! If you're happy today, just have a drink, it's okay!"
"How about we drink from the wedding cup? We weren't there for your wedding. Now we're making up for it!"
"Cup of wine!"
"Cup of wine!"
Some people even called the front desk and asked them to get two small wine glasses with dragon and phoenix patterns on them, which looked very festive.
"Just drink this! Don't be shy, sister-in-law!"
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou in embarrassment, with a plea for help in her eyes.
She was really at a loss.
"Mr. Huo..."
"It's hard to refuse such a kind offer."
Huo Xingzhou said softly.
Seeing that he had no other choice, Qiao Xi could only accept her fate.
The pair of wine glasses had been filled with white wine, not much in quantity, and could be finished quickly with just a small sip.
"drink!"
"drink!"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips nervously, holding a small wine glass in her hand and looking at Huo Xingzhou. Her mind was blank, and she had no idea what the proper posture for drinking wine from each other's cups was. Huo Xingzhou reminded her, then took her hand and put it under his arm, looking at her with his eyes.
Qiao Xi seemed to have found her backbone in an instant. She closed her eyes slightly and took a sip of white wine.
Spicy and stimulating.
The liquid flows down the throat and into the heart, bringing sweetness.
There was no ceremony, no drinking from the same cup, and no grand wedding banquet on their wedding night.
if……
Qiao Xi had some fantasies in her mind. She thought it must be because the liquor was too strong.
She held the small cup in her hand, without even lowering her arm, and looked at the handsome man in front of her through the dim light.
Seeing this, the others all smiled ambiguously.
"I've never seen Huo Xingzhou look so serious! Even before..."
"It seems like he's taken it to heart."
"Don't be shy, sister-in-law. We brothers are all easy to talk to."
They all tried to comfort him kindly, but Xiang Huai, sitting aside, sneered and said, "You only hear the laughter of the newcomers, but not the cries of the old ones."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere became strange.
Xiang Huai ignored them, stood up and said, "I'm going to pick someone up."
"Who is he going to pick up?"
"Everyone is here."
Among them, Xiang Huai and Huo Xingzhou had higher status and better family backgrounds. The Xiang family was not a big deal in Haicheng, but it was a prestigious family in the imperial capital.
Zhou Yu's expression turned cold. He looked at Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi and explained, "This kid is probably having another attack. Just ignore him. He's very arrogant and often spoils the fun."
Qiao Xi nodded. She felt that Xiang Huai didn't like her very much, and could even be said to dislike her.
Huo Xingzhou pinched her wrist and said, "If you don't want to stay, let's go home first."
"But……"
He finally got together with his friends.
Qiao Xi made up her mind and said, "I want to stay here. Mr. Huo, you can chat with them. I'll just sit here by myself. This place is quite new to me."
She was considering Huo Xingzhou.
"Well, you just sit there."
Huo Xingzhou pressed her shoulders and sat down, then poured her another glass of juice: "Don't drink anymore."
"Well, Mr. Huo, don't drink either. Your body needs to recover."
These two people are so affectionate that they make all the single people cry out.
"Huo Xingzhou, you really don't treat us as outsiders! What has Jiaojiao been doing recently? I want to be your brother-in-law!"
"Huo Er only has one sister, how can we divide her up?"
There was a lot of noise inside.
The door of the club's box was also pushed open.
"What are you talking about? Why is it so lively?" A girl with a delicate face like a flower stood beside Xiang Huai. She said in a crisp and sweet voice, "Are you surprised to see me?"
She was wearing a white French dress and a red and black checkered headband. She had an extremely slim and graceful figure.
Amazing everyone.
