Chapter 92 They Must Have Consummated Their Marriage
Qiao Xi looked at Xu Xiuyuan, and in her heart, she didn't want to have too much interaction with him. But since he was her immediate superior, she could only nod.
"good."
Xu Xiuyuan was the first to walk out of the office, followed closely by Qiao Xi.
"Dean Xu, what can I do for you?"
Qiao Xi asked softly.
There were many people walking back and forth in the corridor. Everyone would take a second look at them.
But Xu Xiuyuan acted as if no one was around. He apologized first: "I suspended you earlier to calm public opinion. I did cause you to suffer injustice without finding out the truth. I'm very sorry for that."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "This is normal procedure, I don't blame you."
"I should still say this apology." A hint of gentleness appeared on his cold face.
Qiao Xi looked at him and felt a lot more friendly.
"Then I accept your apology."
Xu Xiuyuan felt much more relieved. He took out a beautiful invitation from his suit pocket and said, "This is the invitation to the Liu family's full moon banquet that my grandmother asked me to pass on to you. My aunt gave birth, and it was thanks to your help."
"I……"
Looking at the handwritten invitation, Qiao Xi could sense the solemnity of the invitation.
But she hesitated.
"That kind of occasion is mostly attended by family members, so I'm not suitable." She declined politely.
"The Liu family also sent a copy to the Huo family, and Huo Xingzhou has already agreed." Xu Xiuyuan knew her concerns and gave her a reason that she could not refuse.
He pressed the invitation into her hands.
Qiao Xi held the invitation letter in her hand and did not say no.
Xu Xiuyuan looked at her intently for several times before leaving.
In reality, Qiao Xi and his sister weren't much alike. The longer he looked at her, the more he found Qiao Xi more appealing. He had imagined a sister like Qiao Xi since childhood, one as gentle and well-behaved as she was. Not the kind of girl who appeared delicate and sensible, but actually used cleverness and scheming to gain the family's love.
…
Qiao Xi put the invitation letter in the locker and then helped Dr. Yan with the consultation.
We were busy all morning with patients coming in one after another.
She was just helping to call numbers and was a little overwhelmed.
As soon as it was noon, Shu Xue called her out to eat.
"Let's go, treat yourself." Shu Xue warmly took her hand, "Let's go to the mall to eat today. We have a two-hour lunch break. This is to celebrate your return to work."
"Don't waste your money."
Qiao Xi's net worth has skyrocketed, but she herself doesn't feel anything and is still as frugal as before.
"How can it be considered a waste of money? It's my treat!"
Shu Xue said generously, "You have no idea how generous your husband is. Not only did he compensate me with the phone, he even sent someone to ask if I wanted a house as compensation! I was stunned at the time. So this is what rich people do."
"Give me a house?"
Qiao Xi was also stunned.
"I didn't dare to accept it at that time, and now I regret it every time I think about it." Shu Xue said jokingly.
Why would she want a house? Even if she got it, she wouldn't feel at ease living in it.
Qiao Xi covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
Her heart was filled with sweetness and joy. Mr. Huo was so cute.
Sudden.
Her eyes swept across the big screen in the mall, and it was the international new ballet dancer, Xu Xingluo.
It seems like wherever I go lately, I see her interviews and advertisements.
Shu Xue followed her gaze and said, "A ballet dancer, but she acts like a star. Even third-tier celebrities can't promote themselves like her."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Xi didn't quite understand.
Shu Xue said seriously, "In my mind, artists are all about solitude and dedication, not just publicity. The news that she's coming back to Haicheng to perform has been circulating for half a month. Here, look at the time of her return."
Qiao Xi took a look and saw that it was tonight.
The flight Xu Xingluo is on will land at Haicheng Airport.
The show is still a week away.
"Maybe she's just more popular." Qiao Xi guessed, "Some people are naturally friendly."
Shu Xue curled her lips, feeling a little sour. "She's just lucky! Her brother is the executive director of Haicheng Hospital, her father is the head of the Xu family, and her mother is the daughter of the Liu family. Do you know how powerful the Liu family is? They say Zhong in the capital and Liu in Haicheng. The Liu family and Mr. Huo in your family are not on the same track."
The Liu family has the support of power and has a long and profound foundation.
He can be called a top dignitary!
Huo Xingzhou comes from a business background, so the two cannot be compared.
Qiao Xi silently recited "The bell of the imperial capital, the willow of the sea city".
This sounded familiar, as if someone had said this to her before.
"Let's go. Don't let irrelevant people affect your appetite."
"good!"
Qiao Xi followed Shu Xue obediently, without any arrogance of a traditional Chinese medicine inheritor.
Shu Xue was even happier when she saw this.
…
evening.
Driver Lao Chen drove Qiao Xi home.
As soon as she entered the living room, she heard Aunt Qian talking on the phone in the kitchen. Her door was not closed tightly, so she could hear the voice clearly.
Just as she was about to say hello, she saw a man walking down the stairs.
"Mr. Huo..."
Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly and walked closer, but put his finger on her lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Qiao Xi didn't dare to speak again, listening to louder noises coming from the kitchen.
Aunt Qian giggled at the other end of the phone, "Yes! I saw it all, it was torn."
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou puzzledly, not understanding what Aunt Qian was talking about.
Huo Xingzhou's face was indifferent, but his eyes were particularly dark.
In the kitchen, Aunt Qian's description became even more exaggerated. "They must have consummated their marriage! I saw it when I took out the trash this morning, but I've never heard of the brand the young master used. I'm afraid it's a three-no product, so I'm thinking of buying him a few boxes and putting them in the drawer."
"It's best not to use contraception. The children they give birth to will definitely be beautiful. I think the young master should be very capable, so don't worry, madam."
"Look at how many times Young Master Sun has done it in one night. That's all spread throughout Haicheng. If Young Madam has any good prescriptions, shouldn't she give priority to Young Master? He might have been cured long ago. The two of them are doing it secretly and are too embarrassed to tell the elders!"
Right now.
Qiao Xi finally understood.
It was all caused by the torn "Tai Tai Le" last night.
Aunt Qian misunderstood that she and Mr. Huo had had a relationship.
Qiao Xi's face flushed. Facing the man's focused gaze, she swallowed and said, "How about I explain it to Aunt Qian?"
"What do you want to explain, little doctor? Explain that I couldn't touch you, or explain that I was able to hold back after I opened the Taitai Le?"
Neither the left nor the right is human.
Qiao Xi was extremely embarrassed.
Aunt Qian happened to hang up the phone and came out of the kitchen. She saw that they were very frank and had no guilt at all.
She greeted them warmly, "Master, Madam, dinner is ready. We have scrambled eggs with leeks, mixed black fungus, and wolfberry and pork kidney soup... What else would you like?"
These dishes are really thoughtful.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou embarrassedly.
The man's lips curled up into a slight smile, and just as he was about to speak, the phone in his suit pocket vibrated.
