Chapter 313: Working like a slave day and night
Qiao Xi didn't understand what was going on, but the man's hands had already covered her eyes.
Her eyes were dark, and she blinked her eyelashes, scratching his palm.
Itchy.
Qiao Xi opened her plump, rosy red lips and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The man's voice was low and coaxing: "As long as you silently recite three numbers in your heart, the thing you want most at this moment will appear before you."
If it were someone else, it would seem like a fantasy.
But Qiao Xi really fell for it.
She naively believed that Huo Xingzhou was her Aladdin's lamp.
Even though it seemed illogical, she opened her lips slightly and began to chant, "3!"
“2!”
“1!”
She was so nervous that her fingers were numb and her heart was beating irregularly.
The hand covering her eyes gradually moved away, and her vision blurred, stung by the light in the room for a moment, before slowly becoming clearer.
The wooden box that was originally placed on the side of the desk in front of me has been opened.
Inside was a dusty bronze acupuncture figurine from the Qing Dynasty and an ancient book called "Illustrated Guide to Acupuncture and Moxibustion of the Bronze Figurine".
Qiao Xi's round almond eyes were filled with joy, she was extremely happy!
Her snow-white cheeks were stained with a bright red hue, and her voice trembled slightly: "This...how did this end up in your hands!"
This is the acupuncture bronze man and medical book at the auction!
What she missed!
Qiao Xi has repeatedly persuaded herself not to regret and not to care too much!
But she knew very well what a pity it would be for her to miss these two things!
She babbled incoherently: "You really are a god! As long as I make a wish silently in my heart, you can make it come true!"
"Box number one is you, right?"
Her eyes are bright and shining like stars.
Huo Xingzhou put his arm around her waist, their bodies pressed tightly together. "Then who else do you hope for?"
Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with light tears, looking very clear: "I just didn't expect that you didn't tell me you were coming? I even passed by Box No. 1 to see who took the photo. I didn't expect..."
This kind of surprise is so unexpected!
Qiao Xi really didn't know what to say, and finally hugged his neck.
A big kiss on his handsome face!
The man nodded his other cheek lightly: "Here."
Qiao Xi kissed him again.
The corners of her mouth turned up and she looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, husband."
"I bought this thing for five million. Saying thank you is not enough. Think about how you should thank me."
Speaking of five million, Qiao Xi felt a little distressed.
Qiao Xi felt a little regretful: "They offered 3.5 million, why did you ask for 5 million? Even 4 million would be fine." He could save the extra money and do something else.
Huo Xingzhou leaned over, his face against hers, and said, "The enemy is anxious, but we are slow. This will ensure victory, and a single strike will be a sure hit. If we raise the price slowly, they'll still be able to follow. If we get a good feel for their price, and raise the auction price all at once, they'll be more likely to give up."
Qiao Xi reached out and caressed the ancient bronze acupuncture figurine, sighing, "This thing actually costs five million. Even if I sell myself, I can't pay it back."
"It's worth it."
He responded, "If it doesn't work once, then try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, then try it day and night."
Qiao Xi understood what he meant, her pretty face flushed, and she glared at him with a little annoyance.
Huo Xingzhou seemed to know what she was thinking, and his cold eyes seemed to melt away the ice and snow: "Don't worry too much about money. Since I married you, my things are yours. Even if you squander it every day, you can't spend all the money I earn."
He was well aware of Qiao Xi's frugality and knew that she had lived a hard life since childhood.
And that exceptionally strong self-esteem.
Some women try their best to make some money, but she is different. After getting married, she still has to write him an IOU.
Qiao Xi's sweet voice rang out: "Then you said you wanted to sell your body day and night?"
The man smiled faintly: "I work like a slave for you day and night."
"Nonsense."
She understood what he meant instantly.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: "No, I remember that during the auction, there were other items auctioned in Box 1! That last item..."
The man opened a blue peacock velvet box. The dazzling sapphires sparkled under the light, complementing the inlaid pear-shaped diamonds.
It's Josephine's sapphire wedding ring!
The ring that was sold for 8.8 million at the auction!
This is the token of love between Emperor Napoleon and Empress Josephine.
“So beautiful.”
Few women can refuse such jewelry, and Qiao Xi is no exception.
The man's aura was gentle and calm, but his eyes were filled with surging affection. "I still owe you a wedding. Let me make up for it by giving you the wedding ring."
Qiao Xi's mouth curled up, and she smiled sweetly, "Actually, I don't care about those forms."
She is a person who is easily satisfied.
"I care."
Huo Xingzhou knew that many people were saying behind his back that the Huo family's young lady was just a bride for good luck. They didn't divorce because Qiao Xi had saved his life, so he just wanted to give her some dignity.
They need a grand wedding to shut those people up.
He cared about the malicious slander those people leveled at her.
Qiao Xi felt warm and comfortable in her heart, looking at the man with sharp features and smooth lines in front of her. The bitterness and sweetness in her heart were about to overflow!
"How about holding the wedding later?"
Qiao Xi said bluntly, "I also want to be the best person and stand by your side."
Her dream is to become a traditional Chinese medicine doctor!
She wants to be on top!
This needle trial meeting is very dangerous, but she doesn't want to give up!
Only by winning the championship of this grand ceremony and pulling Lu Yingxue down from the altar can she gain a firm foothold in the field of traditional Chinese medicine!
Only then will he be qualified to challenge the power that Lu Bannong has spent decades consolidating!
Only then could she stand in front of them and ask why they killed her grandmother!
Get some interest back from them!
Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes, hiding his gloom: "Okay, don't hide anything from me. Do you have anything else to say?"
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
She wanted to wait until the dust settled on the Haicheng primary election before telling him, to avoid any mistakes in the early stages that would make her words count.
She reached out and pressed on the blue ring box, and with a click the blue peacock box was closed.
"I want you to put this ring on my finger at the wedding." She wanted to save the sweetest moment for later. "Honey, is that okay?"
At this time, I know how to act coquettishly.
Huo Xingzhou thought of the clues he had found in his investigation and realized that he had no way to deal with her.
"good."
She looks gentle and weak, but she is extremely stubborn and opinionated.
Huo Xingzhou was reluctant to embarrass her.
"It's so nice to meet you."
Qiao Xi hugged his neck tightly, moved her body, looked at him coquettishly and said.
Warm, fragrant and soft jade in my arms.
Her sudden movement made Huo Xingzhou lose control a little.
She changed into a short-sleeved silk nightgown after returning from the auction, and her smooth skin unconsciously rubbed against his suit pants.
His breathing became slightly longer and longer from being calm, and his knuckles were tightly pinching her waist with a bit of forbearance.
"Qiao Xi, go down a little."
