Chapter 231 Never Talk About Divorce Again in This Life
The man half-knelt in front of her, his warm big palm covering her right leg, kneading her calf muscles with distinct joints.
Gentle and soft, very methodical.
Qiao Xi saw that he was distracted.
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering slightly: "Why are you swimming in a bathrobe?"
He clearly knew everything, yet he tried to tease her with a cold face.
"I..." Qiao Xi racked her brains to find an excuse, "The swimming pool is a bit cold at night."
Huo Xingzhou took a quick glance and saw that the swimming pool thermometer showed the real-time temperature was 30 degrees.
He didn't say it out loud.
Qiao Xi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and she subconsciously pulled her bathrobe closer, fearing that the fabric underneath would be exposed. When she decided to implement her plan, she was very brave.
But when Huo Xingzhou appeared in front of her, her courage receded like the tide.
The man massaged her for more than ten minutes and asked casually, "Does it still hurt?"
At night, under the light of the swimming pool, his eyes were even darker and more focused.
Qiao Xi shook her head.
"Since it doesn't hurt anymore, swim two laps with me," he said.
"Mr. Huo, aren't you going to change your clothes?" Qiao Xi asked, pointing at his white shirt and suit pants.
"You can swim in your bathrobe, so it's nothing for me. Besides, I'm already wet."
Huo Xingzhou slowly unfastened the watch on his wrist and put it aside. He then deftly pulled off his belt, rolled it up, and set it aside.
The white shirt was almost transparent and stuck to his chest, dripping with water.
"Qiao Xi, it's your turn to take off your clothes. Do you really want to swim in your bathrobe, or are you hiding something from me? Don't forget, you're still on probation."
He talked so much that she couldn't find any excuses.
Qiao Xi's ears were burning as she said, "Mr. Huo, please go down first. I'll be right there!"
She took off her bathrobe and there was really nothing left.
The black battle robe underneath was soaked with water and stuck to her skin. Just thinking about it made her feel the blood rush to her face.
The man went into the water calmly and looked at her leisurely in the swimming pool.
Qiao Xi endured this gaze and slowly moved to the shore. Her fingers rested on the ties of her bathrobe, and she took a deep breath, unable to make up her mind.
The man reached out and grabbed her ankle.
Pull hard.
He moved his body protectively to protect her and safely pulled her into the water.
With a plop.
Qiao Xi entered the water, creating countless splashes.
"Have you hesitated on the shore for so long?" Huo Xingzhou's eyelashes were stained with moisture, making them look even deeper.
His fingers untied her laces, and her bathrobe fell apart, soon washed away by the current. Qiao Xi was hugged by his slender waist, her face flushed, and her eyes dodged.
The man looked at her calmly and said, "So that's how it is. You don't like wearing swimsuits when swimming, but prefer wearing sexy skirts?"
Is it a question of whether she likes it or not?
Qiao Xi was embarrassed and annoyed and glared at him.
"You like it!" she argued.
"So you wore it to please me?" Huo Xingzhou had deep eyebrows and a nice voice with a hint of temptation.
Qiao Xi bit her lip and said awkwardly, "Yes, I'm apologizing to you and trying to please you."
"Little Doctor, do you think I'd like this way of apologizing?" Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "You just filed for divorce with me, and the Civil Affairs Bureau still has our divorce registration application form."
"I'm sorry, I'll cancel it tomorrow."
Qiao Xi is very sincere and she has deeply realized her mistakes.
"Is this enough?" He seemed unsatisfied.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him: "You say, as long as I can do it."
"You can do what I said." His expression was calm and sincere. "Qiao Xi, I will never let you say the word divorce in this lifetime. Can you promise me that?"
In the end, he still couldn't bear to make things difficult for her.
Raised the white flag.
Qiao Xi looked at him infatuatedly and nodded seriously.
"I won't bring up divorce again! If there's any misunderstanding, I'll come to you and clarify it! But Mr. Huo, you can't fall in love with another woman."
"Remember what you said."
His facial features were stern, and when he looked at her deeply, there was a coldness that refrained from rejection.
"Okay." Qiao Xi said seriously.
Never mention divorce again!
Huo Xingzhou's fingertips caressed her waist, and the black veil became even more faintly visible in the water. The water in the swimming pool was so clear that everything could be seen clearly.
Under such a burning gaze, Qiao Xi moved her body.
"Qiao Xi, you actually don't lie at all."
Huo Xingzhou's hands restrained her body. Thinking of Aunt Qian's words about her inherent inferiority complex, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You are no worse than others. You are beautiful and kind-hearted. You are also a skilled doctor."
You are not my choice after weighing the pros and cons."
Under the cool light of the swimming pool's incandescent lamps.
The strands of hair on his forehead were dripping with water, and his handsome face looked even more dignified and calm because of his focused expression.
It made Qiao Xi feel that he was the apple of his eye.
She saw herself in the man's eyes.
Beautiful, decent and dignified.
She has never been firmly chosen by anyone.
But the man in front of her told her that her choice was not made after weighing the pros and cons, but she was determined to do it even though she knew it was impossible.
Qiao Xi's eyes sparkled. She hugged him tightly, pressed her body against his chest, and said, "Mr. Huo, I will never mention the word divorce to you again. Even if you drive me away, I won't leave."
If she lets go again, she'll be a fool.
"Then please me more and make me unable to leave you," he said.
Qiao Xi leaned closer and kissed him on his thin lips: "To please you."
The man's eyes were filled with a faint smile, like the surface of a lake that had been shattered, leaving only a shimmering water. He hugged her and swam to the shore, pressing her against the shore and kissing her wantonly.
His palm was against her back, and his thin lips moved down from her eyebrows to her fair neck.
The water rushed against her black translucent suspender skirt, which looked particularly ambiguous in the quiet night.
He said, "Who taught you to apologize this way?"
Qiao Xi raised her head slightly, her body burning hot and blurry as she said, "Shu Xue."
"She has quite a lot of tricks." Huo Xingzhou guessed from the details that Shu Xue and Zhou Yu had a close relationship. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together."
Shu Xue is also a talent as she can get along with Zhou Yu.
It’s good for Qiao Xi to have such a close friend to give her advice.
"She said that if a girl pursues a boy, it will be easy for her to succeed." Qiao Xi opened her mouth slightly and breathed rapidly.
The man's voice was extremely hoarse: "It's better without the gauze."
The delicate kisses fell on her skin, and Qiao Xi shrank back unbearably.
His fingers fiddled with her clothes, and finally, with his eyes red, he forced himself to hold back: "I didn't bring anything."
She still has to work hard for her career, and even if her clinic closes, she will report to the Chinese Medicine Association.
Next month will be a grand event for the traditional Chinese medicine community.
Qiao Xi moved closer, took his hand and whispered, "Mr. Huo, if we have a child, let's give birth to it."
Everything depends on fate.
She didn't want to let go.
Tonight, I also want to indulge myself all night long.
Use extreme tenderness to wash away the mottled past and heartbreaking old memories.
She regarded this moment as her rebirth.
