Chapter 467 He Has One More Qiao Xi Than Zhong Yi
The old man of the Guan family looked into the distance and sighed, "What a remarkable young man! He has both courage and ability. No wonder he was able to make a name for himself in Haicheng. Now the imperial capital is also about to be in turmoil."
Guan Jingtan pursed her lips and smiled: "He is also good-looking, comparable to that young master Zhong who suddenly rose to prominence a few years ago."
“It’s even worse than before.”
Mr. Guan made this comment with his hands behind his back and his body straight.
Guan Jingtan asked, "How is Mr. Huo better than Mr. Zhong?"
Those guests who had not yet left also wanted to know what made Young Master Huo from Haicheng better than Young Master Zhong from the imperial capital.
Although Zhong Yi is an illegitimate child, his abilities and methods have been obvious to all in recent years.
In addition, Young Master Zhong has a special physique, so Old Master Zhong seems to prefer Zhong Yi.
Maybe in a few months, he will be able to take the position of heir to the Zhong family.
Huo Xingzhou is powerful in Haicheng, but how can his overall strength be better than Zhong Yi?
A faint smile appeared on Grandpa Guan's face: "It's a good thing that he has Qiao Xi. Marrying a good wife brings prosperity to three generations."
He turned around and walked into the palace with a smile.
The others looked at each other.
It turns out that Master Zhong lost because he is single!
But Mrs. Huo is really good. She is not easily affected by praise or criticism, and she is also the apprentice of the national doctor Cheng Han.
I just don’t know how good her medical skills are. No matter how good she is, she can’t compare to Lu Yingxue!
Suddenly someone remembered that the Lu family and the Zhong family had an engagement!
If Lu Yingxue crushes Qiao Xi, won't she defeat Huo Xingzhou after Master Zhong gets married?
"Lu Yingxue is much better than Qiao Xi!"
"Indeed, I think Zhong Shao wins!"
There were whispers among the guests, and there were quite a few supporters of Lu Yingxue.
Li Nianqi stood in the corner, her mind repeatedly flashing back to the man's handsome face. His decisive approach to dealing with the overbearing and bullying Lu Yan made her heart beat faster.
He was indifferent to everyone else but gentle to Qiao Xi.
This special treatment makes people yearn for it!
But why did it have to be that annoying Qiao Xi again!
Li Nianqi was indignant and spoke angrily when she heard the guests' comments: "Qiao Xi is just a girl from the countryside. How can she compare to Lu Yingxue, who was personally trained by the Lu family! Besides, we haven't even seen her medical skills!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Jingtan turned around and saw Li Nianqi, who had a pretty face but was dressed exquisitely.
She smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Li, Qiao Xi won first place in the preliminary round of this year's needle-testing competition. How can you say you haven't seen her medical skills?"
Li Nianqi met Guan Jingtan's gaze and retorted, "That was all helped by others! Lu Yingxue won the needle-testing competition ten years ago! She won it through her own strength!"
Guan Jingtan and Qiao Xi were both people she hated.
My grandmother once said that the Guan family had a daughter who was stunningly beautiful, chaste, and intelligent, and asked her to study more.
As expected, all the annoying people get together.
Guan Jingtan said slowly, "I remember your grandmother suffered in Haicheng, and it was the Liu family who saved her. How come you don't remember the Liu family's past relationship at all, and even have grievances against Qiao Xi?"
There was a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little cold.
She admired Qiao Xi very much and would not allow anyone to slander her savior.
"You...I...it's naturally her fault!"
Li Nianqi had no confidence and left angrily, fearing that if she stayed she would get into trouble.
Guan Jingtan looked at her back and curled up the corners of his mouth. She was obviously a brainless ungrateful person!
…
The imperial capital is shrouded in moonlight.
The neon lights on the street dispel the darkness.
The Rolls-Royce drove into the garden villa in the wealthy area. The maid Xiaoyuan had already prepared dinner and was ready to eat when the owner came back.
Lao Chen opened the car door.
Qiao Xi was carried out of the car by Huo Xingzhou. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were glued to him and she couldn't get enough of looking at him.
Although we have only been apart for a few days, I really feel the old saying, "One day without seeing you feels like three years."
Xiao Yuan walked forward with a smile: "Master, Madam. I prepared some easy-to-digest dinner, in case you didn't eat enough at the banquet."
Huo Xingzhou took off his coat and handed it to her, saying, "I had my meal on the plane, so I don't really need it."
Qiao Xi said cheerfully, "Thank you, Xiaoyuan. I also ate at the banquet."
I was just a spectator with Sun Weimeng, and he stuffed me with a lot of snacks. Now my stomach is a little full.
The dim sum made by the imperial chefs in the palace is delicious.
"I'm hungry!"
Lao Chen raised his hand enthusiastically. "I did some hard labor tonight and I'm really hungry. Xiaoyuan, what's for dinner tonight? I want a big bowl of braised pork!"
Xiao Yuan squinted her eyes and smiled: "Uncle Chen, what did you do tonight?"
"Hit someone!"
Old Chen clenched his fist and gestured.
Xiaoyuan was almost scared and quickly ran into the kitchen to make him a big bowl of braised pork.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou smiled at each other, their eyes filled with tenderness as if drawing silk threads, and they chose to go upstairs in tacit understanding.
As for where Sun Shao’s car went and whether he got lost.
No one seems to care.
In the quiet corridor on the second floor.
Qiao Xi hugged Huo Xingzhou's neck tightly, resting her head on his chest. She could smell the faint cold fragrance on his body with the tip of her nose, and she could feel the fragrance entering her whole body through the air with every breath.
She also smelled of him.
No one spoke.
When we got to the master bedroom.
Huo Xingzhou turned on the light and put her on the bed.
Then he went to the cupboard to find some medicinal oil for bruises and injuries, and prepared to massage her ankle.
Qiao Xi originally wanted to say that she could handle it, but when she saw him busy for her, she swallowed all the words back in an instant.
She liked the way Huo Xingzhou's eyes were full of her.
Huo Xingzhou found a bottle of medicated oil in the cabinet, walked over to her and unscrewed the cap: "It might be a little painful."
"I'm not afraid of pain."
Qiao Xi looked at him and said, I can’t get enough of looking at him.
Huo Xingzhou untied the straps of her high heels and took off her shoes.
Then pour the medicated oil into the palm of your hand, rub it gently to warm it up, cover it on the white ankles, and rub it slowly.
The room was quiet and full of warmth.
Qiao Xi sat on the soft mattress, looking at him right in front of her, feeling content.
She asked, "Have you finished your work in Haicheng?"
"Well, I'm done."
"So, will you stay with me in the imperial capital next?"
"right."
Huo Xingzhou kneaded her ankle vigorously and asked, "How does it feel?"
Qiao Xi nodded: "It doesn't hurt anymore. The injury wasn't serious anyway."
Huo Xingzhou looked at her and said, "Get up and walk around."
Qiao Xi stretched out her foot and stepped on the carpet. She took a few steps and said, "Your massage technique is really good."
"That's because you taught me well."
Huo Xingzhou put the medicated oil aside and wiped away the remaining medicine with a wet wipe. He stood in the room and watched her. The hem of her flowing, gauze skirt swayed as she walked, occasionally revealing her fair, straight calves.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened.
He walked up quickly and suddenly hugged her in his arms.
Qiao Xi screamed in shock. Her entire body was held tightly by him, with her back pressed against the wall.
There is nowhere to escape.
The light in the room was dim, and there was a faint light coming in from outside.
Qiao Xi blinked her long eyelashes and said in a very soft voice, "What are you doing?"
When she spoke, it was like she was acting coquettishly.
Huo Xingzhou's tall figure loomed over her, and he lowered his head slightly. His stern face came closer to hers, the tip of his nose almost touching hers.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Do you miss me?"
