Chapter 355 Qiao Xi, I am your husband
It’s Zhong Yi and Xiang Mingzhu!
Xiang Mingzhu looked aggrieved, tears welling in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes adorned the mysterious young man from the imperial capital, wanting to speak but unable to.
Qiao Xi's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand.
"hiss."
She took a deep breath, her eyes reddening naturally as she looked at the steady and self-possessed man.
Huo Xingzhou held an alcohol swab in his hand, his handsome face looking very cold.
He lowered his head and blew gently on the tiny scar on the back of her hand with his thin lips and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Qiao Xi shook her head.
She glanced outside and found that Xiang Mingzhu had gotten into Zhong Shao's Cullinan.
The beauty is shedding tears, and as her admirer, Zhong Shao should at least comfort her. He doesn't know whether tonight is a date or a romantic night.
Qiao Xi felt a slight resentment in her heart, perhaps because the face looked too much like Ayi.
So much so that he did these things, which made her feel dissatisfied.
She shouldn't be affected like this!
Huo Xingzhou's voice became even colder: "Haven't you seen enough? Isn't having me enough?"
He didn't like her being distracted by another man.
Qiao Xi leaned in closer to look at his dark face and said, "Are you jealous again? Aunt Qian has never been short of vinegar for her cooking lately. The Huo family only produces it."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with dark colors, but his face remained calm. "Don't act like a spoiled child. I won't fall for it."
Qiao Xi threw herself into his arms and said softly, "I'm just concerned about the relationship between Master Zhong and Xiang Mingzhu. I'm afraid they're up to something and plotting against me behind my back. That's why I looked at him twice more!"
She raised her eyes and looked at him deeply: "I've seen it carefully! That Zhong Shao's temper is not as good as our President Huo's, and his appearance is not as good as President Huo! Even his feelings are a mess, how can he compare to President Huo's loyalty and deep affection! I already have the best man, how can I still look at the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside."
"Who knows what you're thinking?"
Huo Xingzhou gently pushed her away and relaxed his body against the leather cushion.
He folded his arms, with a look of boundless arrogance and coldness on his face.
Qiao Xi noticed that he wasn't angry. She tried to suppress the corners of her mouth that turned up and said, "Shen Xuanzhi helped me during the competition. I thought he was a kind person, but when he left, he told me that he took money from people to help them avoid disasters. Tell me, whose money did he take?"
Her heart was filled with sweetness.
I guessed the truth a long time ago.
But I hope to hear it from the man in front of me.
Huo Xingzhou tilted his head, glanced at her lightly and said, "What do you think?"
"I think... it's you."
Her eyes were bright, filled with a faint smile as she looked at him seriously and said, "Besides you, who else could it be? This is Haicheng. Who could attack me under your nose?"
Huo Xingzhou let out a chuckle from his throat. He reached out and pinched her nose, looking at her smug look and said.
"The Shen family is in decline and needs money, and I happen to have plenty. Bribing Shen Xuanzhi to help you was just an accident. If Xiang Mingzhu and the others were willing to compete fairly, then Shen Xuanzhi wouldn't have made a move."
Qiao Xi took over the conversation: "So Shen Xuanzhi is a chess piece you put down. Li Songwen helped Xiang Mingzhu, and he helped me. Have you already studied the rules of the needle testing conference?"
Huo Xingzhou threw the alcohol swab aside, took the ointment and applied it to the small scar on the back of her hand, saying, "As a husband, I always have to consider this matter carefully for you."
"How do you know Shen Xuanzhi will definitely agree to you?"
Huo Xingzhou said quietly, "He's short of money and he hates the Lu family. Also... when we were in the countryside, Old Mr. Cheng said that he and Shen Xuanzhi's grandfather were very good friends, but now the Shen family is left with only an orphan and a widow."
He guessed that there must be some hidden story, and the decline of the Shen family was closely related to the Lu family.
"My husband is so smart!"
Qiao Xi smiled brightly, "You've helped me a lot! Without Shen Xuanzhi, I would have lost. I would be the one standing on the podium being humiliated, and even Grandpa Cheng would be scolded."
Huo Xingzhou held her slender white fingers and said, "Qiao Xi, I know better than anyone. You don't want to lose, and you can't lose. So, I will do everything I can to prevent you from losing."
Qiao Xi looked at him deeply, put her arms around his neck and kissed his thin lips.
…
In the night.
A Cullinan is driving at high speed.
Xiang Mingzhu's tears fell like pearls. She cried very skillfully, which made people feel distressed.
"Master Zhong, if the news reaches the imperial capital, I will definitely be scolded by my uncle."
The man sitting half a meter away from her took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Wipe your tears, I can't bear to see women cry."
The words sounded like a playboy, and even Wan Jiang in the front row couldn't help but twitch his lips. How could their chaste Master Zhong be so adept at seducing women?
A man's mouth is a lie.
Xiang Mingzhu took the tissue, gently wiped her tears and said, "Mr. Zhong, what do you think I should do?"
Young Master Zhong bent his legs casually and said, "You provoked the bet first, and then made it known to everyone. Now that you've lost, you can only admit that you're inferior. Anyone with eyes knows how powerful the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Needles are, and the Cheng family has been in decline for many years. Your words won't shake the Lu family's position."
His pupils were deep as he looked at her and said, "As long as you beat everyone in the finals, even Lu Yingxue, then the rumors will be refuted, right? Mingzhu, don't you agree?"
He called her "Pearl".
The sound is as clear as a spring in a stone stream.
Xiang Mingzhu was only attracted by his looks and family background at first, but after a few contacts, she was really moved. How could she resist such a charming man!
No wonder Lu Yingxue, who is otherworldly and like a fairy, also likes him.
Xiang Mingzhu nodded slowly: "You are right, I still have a chance. I always feel something is wrong. Why would Shen Xuanzhi help Qiao Xi? She was almost finished."
She frowned, very unwilling.
It's just one step away.
A cold smile flashed across Zhong Yi's eyes. "If you can convince Li Songwen to help you, she can certainly get Shen Xuanzhi to help her. Rules are made for people to follow and use."
Xiang Mingzhu held her breath and said, "I was negligent! I didn't expect that after the bet became such a big deal on the forum, there would still be people helping Qiao Xi! The preliminary selection of the needle trial competition was not rigorous. When the finals are held in the imperial capital, this kind of situation will definitely not happen."
"Um."
Zhong Yi's gaze fell to the window and he responded nonchalantly.
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes moved and looked at him again and again.
The car stopped at the door of the hotel where Xiang Mingzhu was staying. She stretched out her fingers and gently tugged at Zhong Yi's sleeve, her charming face showing a hint of smile and temptation.
"Mr. Zhong, would you like to go upstairs and have a cup of coffee? I'm very good at making coffee."
