Chapter 471: Didn’t you spend enough time with me last night?
Qiao Xi paused in the bathroom.
She had just taken a hot shower and was naked.
Hearing the noise, she quickly wiped the water droplets off her body, changed her clothes and then opened the door.
She raised her eyes to look at the tall and handsome man standing at the bathroom door, and blinked her wet eyelashes, "Do you want to wash up?"
"Um."
The man's lips curled up into a faint smile.
Qiao Xi looked at him casually wearing a bathrobe without even fastening the belt, revealing a large area of his body.
This is no different from not wearing any clothes.
Qiao Xi didn't dare to look any further and just said, "Then I'll squeeze the toothpaste for you."
She picked up the tube of ice mint toothpaste, squeezed it onto the newly opened toothbrush, and handed it to Huo Xingzhou.
The small bathroom is filled with tenderness and warmth.
Huo Xingzhou took the toothpaste, put on his bathrobe and stood in front of the mirror to wash up. Qiao Xi turned to leave, but he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Stay with me for a while."
Qiao Xi murmured softly, "Last night...didn't you spend enough time with me?"
The man glanced at her in the mirror and said, "You made a fuss about turning off the lights. I haven't seen enough of you."
Qiao Xi's cheeks flushed: "You are just too much!"
Huo Xingzhou had a smile on his handsome face. After rinsing his mouth, he wiped the corners of his lips with a white towel.
"How have I gone too far? Isn't it just to make your wish come true?"
"That kind of dream! How could it possibly come true!"
Qiao Xixing stared at him with round eyes, "My dream is nothing like yours."
Huo Xingzhou put the towel aside and put his arms around her waist: "Now tell me, how did I treat you in your dream? Could I have refrained from kissing you, hugging you, and touching you?"
Qiao Xi bit her lip and was speechless.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and kissed her tender red lips, tentatively deepening the kiss.
Qiao Xi slowly closed her eyes and tilted her head back in response.
Minty kiss.
When his hand went down, Qiao Xi suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his big hand: "How about tonight?"
Huo Xingzhou buried his head in her neck, sniffed deeply and replied, "Okay."
Men find it more difficult to control themselves in the morning.
"Oops!"
Qiao Xi exclaimed, "I forgot one thing."
Lust makes one lose one's mind!
She clearly took it to heart last night.
"What's up?"
"I promised Master Guan that I would look through the book on Plum Blossom Nine Needles." Qiao Xi pushed his chest and said, "I'm going to do something."
Qiao Xi trotted out of the bathroom and took out the yellowed copy of "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom" from the bedside table.
She turned the pages one by one and found nothing unusual.
Could it be that their guess was wrong?
Huo Xingzhou changed his clothes and walked over to her side. Seeing her frowning and thoughtful expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him from the sofa. "Yesterday I went to the Guan family's birthday party. Old Master Guan called me to his study alone and asked me to meet Grandpa Cheng. Grandpa Cheng told him that I knew the Lingshu Nine Needles and that I would be able to cure his mentally retarded grandson within three years."
Huo Xingzhou sat beside her and said, "But you only know the Plum Blossom Nine Needles technique."
"Yes, I don't know the Nine Needles of the Lingshu at all. That's a lost acupuncture method that everyone wants to see. But Grandpa Guan said Grandpa Cheng left me a message, saying that I would learn it if I read the Plum Blossom Nine Needles more. So Grandpa guessed that there was something hidden in this ancient medical book."
This book "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom" may contain shocking secrets!
But Qiao Xi couldn't see anything.
Huo Xingzhou reached out and took the medical book, gently flipping through it, feeling the thickness of the pages. This medical book looked like someone had read it frequently, and the corners of the pages were slightly wrinkled.
"This 'Nine Plum Blossom Needles' is also an ancient medical book that has been passed down for a hundred years, based on the Cheng family's acupuncture method. Ancient craftsmen were numerous, some even able to carve hundreds of characters on a single grain of rice. Others hid their treasures in layers, making them invisible."
Huo Xingzhou rubbed the page gently with his fingertips, "This page is harder than the others."
"Really?"
Qiao Xi reached out to touch the middle page of the book, and had to be very careful to feel any difference.
The paper is indeed a little stiffer.
"Really? You mean there's something hidden in here? But we can't get it out."
"Leave professional matters to professionals."
Huo Xingzhou reached out and tapped the tip of Qiao Xi's nose, "Don't forget what the Liu family is most famous for."
The Liu family’s jewelry store is filled with countless treasures!
There are also many masters with outstanding skills, each with their own heritage. Among them, a very famous cultural relic restorer is in Liujia Jewelry Store.
They usually deal with antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry, and are most likely to uncover the secret of "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom".
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "But I can't give the Nine Plum Blossom Needles to anyone else. It can only be done under my nose. This is also Grandpa Cheng's hard work, the inheritance of the Cheng family's acupuncture method."
"I called the Liu family and asked them to send their best cultural relic restorer to the imperial capital."
"Thanks."
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said while stroking the medical book.
Who could have imagined that this book held secrets? If it truly contained the Nine Spiritual Needles… Qiao Xi's heartbeat quickened.
Once the Lingshu Nine Needles appear in the world, it will definitely cause a stir.
By the way, Mr. Guan is still waiting for her to call back.
"Where's my phone?"
She looked around but didn't see her cell phone. Last night was so chaotic that her memory was fuzzy.
Huo Xingzhou took out his cell phone from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to her.
Qiao Xi took it and pressed the button, but the screen went black.
"Why is it turned off?"
As soon as she asked the question and saw the man's half-smile, she understood instantly.
How can you ensure that no one will disturb you all night if you don’t turn off the phone?
Qiao Xi silently turned on her cell phone, took out the business card from her bag and entered the contact number.
Just as she was about to dial, she hesitated.
"Husband, should we confess this to Mr. Guan?" The thing has not been found, and who can guarantee that the other party has no selfish motives?
Did Grandpa Cheng really go to find him?
The Guan family did not take sides in the imperial capital, and Grandpa Cheng had never mentioned the imperial capital to her before.
Qiao Xi had many doubts in her heart. If someone had already known the secret of the Plum Blossom Nine Needles, they would be waiting for her...
Huo Xingzhou rubbed her hair, feeling quite relieved: "Finally, you've grown up."
"Don't you think it's inappropriate?"
"Qiao Xi, the imperial capital is a mixed bag. Some people who look kind aren't necessarily good people, and some people who look vicious aren't necessarily bad people. Don't let the news leak out before you find what you're looking for."
Qiao Xi nodded, "I understand."
There is also a possibility that there is nothing in this medical book.
She gave Mr. Guan hope again, but he would be even more disappointed and perhaps even have conflicts and rifts.
So this call cannot be made.
Since the other party didn't answer her call, he naturally knew that there was nothing unusual in the medical book.
Huo Xingzhou held her hand and said, "Let's go downstairs for lunch. Come with me to a place in the afternoon. I have some things to hand over to someone."
"oh."
Qiao Xi didn't ask what it was, because she would know in the afternoon anyway.
