Chapter 171 I want you, very much, I must
After dinner.
Huo Sijiao and her friends had made an appointment to go out to the bar, and they ran away after eating. Aunt Qian and Du Juan were clearing the table, and Du Juan instructed, "Qiao Xi, go take the fruit from the kitchen to the study. Xingzhou's father has had a bad stomach recently, so he always eats some fruit after meals."
When people get older, they have to admit defeat.
"OK."
Qiao Xi was very well-behaved in front of her elders and went upstairs with the fruit in her hand.
She walked through the corridor to the door of the study. The door was not completely closed, leaving a gap. She was about to knock when she heard Huo Jiancheng say from inside.
"She's a disciple of the Imperial Doctor. You're just grateful to her, not in a romantic relationship. It's the same if you marry Xu Xingluo. The Xu family can help you with business and even expand the capital's territory. Qiao Xi can't help you with that, and she'll even cause you a lot of trouble..."
"Xu Xingluo is severely depressed. If he succeeds in committing suicide for you, Xu Guangyao and Liu Huimin will definitely tear off a layer of skin from you."
"Xingzhou, you have to believe me! Daddy does everything for your own good and will never harm you!"
What Huo Jiancheng said makes sense.
Qiao Xi's heart felt like there was a hole in it, and cold wind blew in, freezing her flesh and blood.
Her eyes flickered, and she forced back the moisture in them. She carried the plate of fruit and walked back quickly.
It turned out that the father-in-law still had not given up trying to persuade them to divorce.
In Huo Jiancheng's eyes, she was Huo Xingzhou's trouble.
From the time they met until now, Mr. Huo has been helping her solve the problems around her. He helped the Su family, helped her grandmother, resolved the farce caused by the class reunion, and resolved the rumors in the hospital. He has done so much for her.
She was useless and couldn't help him at all.
Qiao Xi went downstairs with the tray in her arms, feeling disappointed.
Du Juan asked in confusion, "Why wasn't it sent in?"
Qiao Xi quickly suppressed her emotions and said, "They seem to be talking about something, I'm afraid of disturbing them."
"Then let's put it in the living room for now. I don't know what serious things father and son can talk about." Du Juan complained. "Your father-in-law has been going out a lot lately, acting so mysterious. If I didn't know he didn't have the courage to cheat, I would have thought he was raising a vixen outside."
Qiao Xi forced a smile.
"Okay, I see you don't look well, take a shower and rest."
"Okay, mother-in-law."
Under normal circumstances, Qiao Xi wouldn't have just left Du Juan alone in the living room. But she was too tired during the day and had something on her mind, so she left.
She walked upstairs to the master bedroom in a daze and closed the door.
Qiao Xi sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling as if every bone in her body had loosened. She wondered if the conversation in the study was over, and whether Mr. Huo would waver in his determination to be with her.
That's his biological father, so the importance of him must be very important.
Qiao Xi reached out and opened the bedside drawer, revealing the "Marriage Agreement" they had signed at the outset. The agreement stipulated a maximum period of three months, and once Party A's legs recovered, they could terminate the agreement at any time and divorce.
Their relationship was never equal.
She got married to get married for good fortune, but outsiders think she got lucky.
All her efforts would make others doubt whether Huo Xingzhou had any influence on them. She did not reject his kindness and let the name "Huo Xingzhou" be branded on her.
She took a deep breath.
Three months had passed, and Mr. Huo's legs had fully recovered. Logically, the agreement had come into effect, and they could divorce at any time.
But Mr. Huo and she both tacitly agreed not to mention the agreement.
Qiao Xi didn't know if he was too busy with work to remember this, and she never reminded him.
Can't bear to.
Can't let go.
Unreconciled.
Qiao Xi put the agreement back.
The door opened and a tall man walked in. He said in a hoarse voice, "Why aren't the lights on?"
The only light in the room came from the street lamps outside and the moonlight. It was dim but still vaguely visible.
"I'm a little tired."
Qiao Xi adjusted her mood and said, "Have you finished talking with my father-in-law?"
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou turned on the crystal lamp, his cold gaze fell on Qiao Xi and asked, "Haven't you taken a shower yet?"
Qiao Xi nodded.
"Let's go together?" He said calmly and frankly.
Qiao Xi's sorrow was completely disturbed by him. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at him and said, "I'm a little tired."
"So I help you."
Unlike before, he ignored her subtle refusal and forcefully carried her into the bathroom. The shower head turned on, and warm water poured down, soaking them both.
Qiao Xi's clothes were sticking to her body, and the scenery inside could be vaguely seen.
"Mr. Huo, I don't want tonight..." She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him.
His eyes were filled with rejection.
"But I want to, I really want to, I must." He bound her hands and pressed them above her head.
The man's wet kiss fell on her neck, "Qiao Xi, what are you doing?"
"Nothing awkward." She said unnaturally.
"lie."
He looked at her calmly, and with his other hand he unzipped her dress and pulled it all the way down. Qiao Xi screamed, but he bit her red lips, sucking all the oxygen out of her mouth as if punishing her.
He kissed her until she was almost suffocated, then he slowly pulled away.
Water droplets dripped from his hair, and his wet eyelashes looked even darker and more dangerous. "If you don't tell me, I'll bully you to death."
Qiao Xi bit her lip, being extremely stubborn.
Huo Xingzhou slowly raised his eyelids, looked at her and said, "My old man is old, and he has always been cowardly and afraid to take responsibility. He always likes to worry about things that may happen. Don't take what he says to heart, and I won't take it to heart either."
"Mr. Huo, you..."
Qiao Xi looked up at him and was stunned.
Does he know what she is upset about?
He said slowly, "Mother said you were not in a good mood after you brought the fruit plate upstairs."
The man was born to be a charmer. The red mole on his neck was eye-catching. He had a cold personality but could see through people's hearts.
Qiao Xi looked at him, her eyes red with grievance.
"I apologize to you on his behalf. He said those things because he was confused. Xu Xingluo grew up under his watch, so he can't tell the difference between close and distant relatives. It's obvious that his daughter-in-law is closer, but he insisted on speaking to outsiders."
He scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers.
Moisture condensed in Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes, and tears rolled down.
"Mr. Huo." She cried out.
He is so nice.
So good that she never wants to let go.
I am so good to him that I don’t want him to get hurt at all, and I always hope that he can get the best things in the world.
He leaned over and gently kissed her eyelashes, leading Qiao Xi into the sea of desire, teasing her to the point of neither end nor end. When she was moved, she hugged his slender waist, her eyes full of spring water and wrinkles, and she kissed him back eagerly.
But the man suddenly withdrew, his eyes became a little colder, and his passion subsided.
Qiao Xi wanted to get close to him and kiss him, but was stopped by Huo Xingzhou.
Qiao Xi murmured softly and lingeringly, looking at him with puzzled eyes filled with passion, pitiful and alluring.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "No hurry, I still have a score to settle with you."
