Chapter 1009 Extra 7: The Scar
the next day.
Qiao Xi slept in for a rare time.
The feeling of softness and soreness all over her body was very familiar. She couldn't help but stretch, and the soreness in her body finally eased a little. Last night, she and Huo Xingzhou had gone a little too far.
The two of them have no self-control at all.
Maybe it's been too long since they had sex, which led to excessive sexual activity.
The man was finally satisfied, but she couldn't even lift her legs. She didn't know what happened in her daze, but she just fell asleep.
She touched the cell phone on the bedside table and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
There were a few missed calls and unread text messages on her phone, but it didn't look like anything urgent. Qiao Xi replied to each one and asked about the situation at Zhou Qing's Chinese Medicine Clinic. She felt relieved when she heard that everything was normal.
"My wife is such a hard-working person."
Huo Xingzhou's sexy and low voice came from behind Qiao Xi, and his arms directly hugged her slender waist.
"This is the Chinese medicine clinic you gave me. I will definitely develop it. Later, I can make money to support you." Qiao Xi put the phone aside and turned to look at him. "It's getting late. Aren't you going to work today?"
"Let's go later. Zhou Yu attended the morning meeting, so there's no need for me to show up."
"Has our CEO Huo started to keep a low profile? You can postpone meetings and receptions whenever you can."
"What could be more important than you and the child? Tianyuan Group's development has long been on the right track, and there's no need for me to keep an eye on it all the time. Don't worry, with Zhou Yu here, the group won't fail."
"I just feel sorry for Zhou Yu being drafted every time."
Huo Xingzhou smiled and said, "Shu Xue feels sorry for him."
His fingers caressed her body, and her skin became smooth and translucent. However, there was still no sign of the shallow scar on her abdomen. Huo Xingzhou's fingers touched it again and again, and he could feel the slight bulge on his fingertips.
This is the scar left from giving birth to two children.
Even the Jade Skin Cream couldn't repair it, leaving a shallow scar. The main reason was that the caesarean section wound was too deep, a full seven layers.
"Why are you still touching me?"
Qiao Xi grabbed his hand and said.
"It's hard not to care." Huo Xingzhou said softly, "This is the scar I left on you."
"It was my desire to have children. It was my own decision. Now it seems that this scar has been exchanged for two such lovely children. I think it is worth it."
"But I'm not taking it for granted. From now on, let's take precautions and never have another child, okay?"
Huo Xingzhou still couldn't forget the agonizing hour he spent waiting outside the operating room. He had never felt time was so long. And he was so useless; he had no power over life and death.
This is also the reason why he expanded his business into biopharmaceuticals within five years.
He wanted to create as much of a fortress as possible, protecting Qiao Xi from multiple harms. Others simply saw this as a couple united in their desire to pursue a medical career. Huo Xingzhou was bolstering Qiao Xi's career, pouring vast sums of money into the seemingly untapped fields of biopharmaceuticals and biomedicine, leaving it to highly educated researchers. He hired numerous professors from home and abroad, keeping them on their payroll, letting them splurge and experiment.
But no one knew that this was just a decision Huo Xingzhou made outside Qiao Xi's delivery room.
He didn't have so many business plans, but he hoped that in the future, Qiao Xi would not let him wait so helplessly at some point. He had the ability to save her and alleviate some of her pain.
"Of course not, two is enough. If we have another one, I'm afraid Qianqian will be jealous. She always says that mom can only give half to her brother. If we have another brother or sister, she will definitely be very sad."
Huo Xingzhou hugged her tightly and called her name repeatedly: "Qiao Xi."
Qiao Xi pushed his arm and said, "Don't be so clingy. Hurry up and get up. Let's not waste time. Otherwise, the two children will make a fuss again. I'm hungry too."
After exercising for most of the night, she was already starving.
When Huo Xingzhou heard this, he let her go.
"What do you want to eat? I'll ask Aunt Qian to prepare it."
"Just keep it simple, don't make it so complicated. I still have to accompany the kids for lunch later..." She just needed to fill her stomach and didn't need to eat so much.
"good."
Huo Xingzhou moved quickly, throwing off the quilt, changing his clothes, and going downstairs. Qiao Xi could still vaguely hear him talking to Aunt Qian.
When she washed, changed her clothes and was about to leave the room, she saw two little people walking into the room.
Qianqian pouted and said, "Mom, you are such a lazy bum. You only get up when the sun is shining on your butt. I've been here several times. But the door is locked. Do you and Dad have some little secret again?"
"What little secrets can we have?"
"Mom, you promised us that you would sleep with us tonight, not with Dad."
"I know, you little jealous guy."
Qiao Xi rubbed her head and said, "Come sit here, mom will braid your hair."
“Okay!”
Qianqian sat on the sofa and took out a multi-layered jewelry box. Inside were Qianqian's hair ties and hairpins, as well as some beautiful and exquisite decorations. Girls just have more things than boys.
Qiao Xi glanced at little A Che, waved her hand and said, "Come and sit down. Sister will be ready in a moment. Let's go downstairs together. You can take a look at the picture book first."
"Okay, Mom."
The little boy was quite obedient and quiet, often spending time alone studying. Initially, she and Huo Xingzhou were a little worried about his quietness, but later realized it was because of his high concentration, high IQ, and his own ideas.
Qiao Xi skillfully braided Qianqian's hair into a princess style that was popular online, and then put a small crown on her head.
"Want to change your skirt?"
"Mom, I want to play in the water with my brother. What if my beautiful hair gets messed up?"
"Then mommy will give you another injection. Don't worry about making a mess, baby. Let's go."
Qiao Xi went downstairs holding a child in each hand.
In the small dining room, Aunt Qian had already prepared millet cakes and soy milk for Qiao Xi. The millet cakes were good for the stomach, and the soy milk was just the right amount to go along with the cakes. She didn't prepare anything else.
"Young Madam, please eat these first. Lunch is still being prepared."
The Huo family villa had already arranged for some chefs to share Aunt Qian's work, and Aunt Qian was happy and at ease. Sometimes she would cook a little and prepare some snacks, but her main focus was taking care of the two children.
Aunt Qian doesn't look any older in the past five years, and there isn't a single white hair on her head.
First, Qiao Xi helps me take care of my body, and second, I have two babies to accompany me and I am happy every day.
"Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Qiao Xi sat at the dining table, looked around and asked, "Where's Xingzhou?"
