Chapter 206: Don’t Say Divorce Easily
Huo Xingzhou's thin lips were red, and there was still a surge of emotion in his eyes.
He said lightly: "I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."
Qiao Xi had used up all her strength after saying that sentence. She pushed away Huo Xingzhou's arms and swam towards the shore.
Huo Xingzhou's powerful hands grabbed her ankles and pulled her back. During the struggle, he raised his hands to hold the back of her head and forced her to look into his eyes.
He felt a chill in his heart, and the suppressed anger rose to the top of his head.
But he always maintained his composure.
"Qiao Xi, I teach you to swim, not so that you can escape from me one day." He stared into her eyes and said word by word.
There was moisture in Qiao Xi's eyes, but she looked at him more stubbornly without saying a word.
He leaned in closer, his thin lips roaming over the side of her face. "I understand that Grandma's death was a huge blow to you, and I understand why you spoke without thinking. But don't mention the word divorce."
Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly, feeling a soreness in her throat.
Let him kiss her, let him carry her ashore, and send her back to the room to wash.
Back to the master bedroom.
Huo Xingzhou thought she was just angry and forgave her for her slip of the tongue.
As long as she gets through this difficult time, she will regain her former spirit.
When he was about to change her pajamas, Qiao Xi sat on the bed and grabbed his wrist, saying in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Huo, I think it through."
Her voice was still hoarse: "This marriage was a transaction from the beginning."
She took out the Marriage Agreement from the bedside table and placed it in front of him. "I will treat your legs for three months. Now that three months have passed, this agreement has come into effect."
Her pretty face was firm: "Now, we are at the stage of agreeing on a divorce."
"The clinic burned down, and I don't plan to reopen it. Many people have asked me to treat patients at their homes, but I refused. During this time, I will go out and see patients to repay the debt I owe you. Please give me some time."
She kept saying "you" and "debt".
It is clearly separated from him.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the marriage agreement, regretting why he had signed it in the first place. At the same time, he also blamed her for being so heartless.
For some reason, after she became disheartened, she wanted to settle accounts with him as well.
He thought that Qiao Xi's silence during this period was because she was angry at him for not answering her call that night, because she was too sad about her grandmother's death, and because his identity caused her to get into trouble with Xiang Huai and Xu Xingluo.
I was competing with him silently, but I didn't expect that I would gradually become distant from him.
She decided everything calmly and then filed for divorce from him.
"Qiao Xi, so now... in your mind, we are in the relationship of creditor and debtor?" he asked, his eyes extremely cold.
Qiao Xi's heart was torn by countless emotions, and her lips turned pale as she said, "Yes."
Huo Xingzhou was so angry that he almost laughed.
But he couldn't bear to get angry with her, and was even more afraid of hurting her feelings by saying something careless.
He was resentful of himself.
"you……"
He was about to speak when his cell phone, which he had put aside, started buzzing, as annoying as a fly.
He walked over and answered the phone, saying in an unhappy tone, "Hello, what's up?"
It was Zhou Yu on the phone, chattering away for a while. Qiao Xi sat on the edge of the bed, her heart in her throat. She was actually a little flustered and nervous, afraid she'd get a good beating if she said what she had said.
She stole a glance at his expression from the corner of her eye, and his cold, pale face was almost devoid of warmth.
He said to the other end of the phone in a very unfriendly tone: "Come right away."
He hung up the phone, looked at Qiao Xi, and said with anger: "Have a good sleep at home. I will pretend that you never mentioned the divorce."
It was not easy for a man as proud as him to endure such trampling.
Huo Xingzhou picked up his coat and walked out of the room, closing the door deliberately gently.
Qiao Xi lay on the bed, listening to the noise outside.
She naturally didn't think he was going to look for Xu Xingluo. She knew very well that the whole night was an accident. But Qiao Xi couldn't swallow such an accident. There was always a thorn in her heart.
She was also controlled by Huo Jiancheng's marriage contract and was reluctant to see half of Huo Xingzhou's empire taken away by others.
She had seen him shining brightly, handling the business world with ease and high spirits, so how could she bear to see this star dim?
The sound of an engine was heard at the door of the villa.
Soon, the car drove away.
The villa fell silent again. She lay on the bed, the clear scent faint but undeniable. She rested her head on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
…
The night is like water.
The Rolls-Royce with the conspicuous license plate drove towards the Fuchun Garden luxury club. Old Chen saw his young master's cold expression in the rearview mirror and shuddered.
This is really angry.
I don’t know who made the young master unhappy.
He stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car a little bit.
Finally, the car stopped at Fuchun Garden Club at 8:15 in the evening.
Old Chen drove the car into the parking lot and said, "Master, please wait for me. I..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Huo Xingzhou open the car door and walk quickly towards the underground elevator.
Fuchun Garden, a small, exquisite Jiangnan villa, is Haicheng's premier clubhouse. The guests who come here for entertainment are either wealthy or noble. The place is elegant and tasteful, giving it a very classy feel.
Huo Xingzhou walked into the club in a suit and tie with a stern and handsome face.
The guests sitting in the hall looked at him in surprise.
Compared to other young masters, Huo Xingzhou rarely comes to the club. He is either discussing business or chatting with Zhou Yu about serious matters. He rarely appears alone.
The club manager observed his expression even more carefully. The expression of the second young master Huo was not right, and he looked as fierce as an evil spirit.
Did their club do something to offend him?
"Huo...Second Master Huo, you are..."
"No appointment, looking for Zhou Yu."
Huo Xingzhou's face was as cold as jade, and his tone of voice was also very cold.
As he finished speaking, Zhou Yu appeared. He ran down the stairs from the second floor, looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "You're finally here. That bastard is drinking in box 820. He has a lot of bad friends in there."
He looked behind Huo Xingzhou and asked, "Isn't Old Chen here? How about I find a few more people temporarily?"
"He stopped the car."
"Oh, then I'm relieved. I was afraid those bastards wouldn't show any mercy and wouldn't even give you face. You know they lose their minds when they're drunk, and in their heat of passion they don't care who you are. They'll just have their fun first."
Zhou Yu looked at him and kindly reminded him.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "I cherish my life very much."
He was a man who had been to the underworld, and it was Qiao Xi who cured his legs with acupuncture and massage.
He would not risk his life for anything unless it was for Qiao Xi.
Zhou Yu blinked and saw Lao Chen appear at the entrance of the club. He said with interest in his eyes, "Then let's... get busy!"
He has been waiting for a long time.
I'm getting a little impatient.
Finally, I can deal with those bastards.
