Chapter 553 Qiao Xi, Do You Regret Marrying Me?
Huo Xingzhou looked at her, his slightly narrow eyes seemed to be filled with the bright starlight of a galaxy.
Deep and bright.
The voice was coaxing: "Am I the best?"
The faint smell of alcohol on him invaded me.
Mixed with that cold fragrance, it makes people drowsy.
It's not the wine that makes people drunk, it's people who make themselves drunk.
Qiao Xi fell in love with his affectionate eyes and unconsciously pursed her lips to force herself to be more sober.
"You are the best husband, grandma is the best grandma, and Grandpa Cheng is the best master."
Qiao Xi said softly.
"You are cheating." Huo Xingzhou moved closer.
Qiao Xi's back was pressed against the wall, and she could only feel his breath in the cramped space, close enough to him.
She reluctantly stretched out her finger and poked his chest: "I am telling the truth."
Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and gently bit her lips: "Where's the other person? Where is he in the queue?"
What is Ayi!
He never got the chance to ask for an explanation for that photo taken when they were young.
What does the line of words on the back mean?
She raised her eyes and asked him, "Are you talking about Ayi?"
Huo Xingzhou hugged her and lowered his head and said, "I didn't mention who it was, but you thought of him."
"Ayi is my best friend! How can you be so jealous?" Qiao Xi's face flushed, and there was a hint of smile in her tone, "You are the one who will accompany me until old age. If he is still alive, there will be someone to accompany him until old age."
Speaking of this.
Huo Xingzhou's brows relaxed, "I heard a little piece of news today."
"What news?"
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Zhong Yi and Lu Yingxue will be engaged on the 8th of next month."
"The marriage between these two families has long been no secret. I just didn't expect the Lu family to really be able to find the Zhong family as a backer, but I think it's a bit strange."
"Why is it strange?" Huo Xingzhou stroked her waist with his fingertips, and looked at her inquiringly.
He knew Qiao Xi was not stupid.
Qiao Xi reviewed the various unexpected events at today's needle trial meeting and said to Huo Xingzhou, "Xiang Mingzhu caused Lu Yingxue to have an allergic reaction. This seems to be under your control. How can you control Xiang Mingzhu's movements? After you revealed the news to me last time, I knew that Xiang Mingzhu would definitely be in trouble and unable to participate in the competition. But I didn't expect Lu Yingxue to suffer as well!"
Qiao Xi's heartbeat suddenly quickened for no reason.
"I've always heard that Xiang Mingzhu and Lu Yingxue have a deep sisterly bond, and Xiang Mingzhu always praises Lu Yingxue. What made her change so drastically? After much thought, I can only think of one thing: men."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with approval, "Go on."
"That man is Zhong Yi!"
Qiao Xi fell into deep thought. "Outsiders don't know, but we know Zhong Yi is wavering between her cousins. I heard the conversation between Xiang Mingzhu and Lu Yingxue during the competition and guessed that Zhong Yi must have promised Xiang Mingzhu something, which is why she took such a risk."
But why do you want to do this?
This did him no good at all, as both Lu Yingxue and Xiang Mingzhu were defeated.
In the end, she was the one who benefited?
Does Zhongyi really like Xiang Mingzhu? Not necessarily.
He did it on purpose, not because of any impulse related to love.
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and looked at Huo Xingzhou: "Do you and Zhong Yi have any secret cooperation? Is this your condition?"
After much thought, Qiao Xisi felt that this was the only guess that was more reliable.
"This is the agreement between him and me."
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "You guessed right." But he didn't guess Zhong Yi's selfish motives.
He wouldn't say it explicitly because this was Zhongzi's request.
Qiao Xi nodded. "As expected. But I still feel a little regretful that Lu Yingxue and I weren't in top form competing on the same stage. This kind of victory is a bit dramatic."
Huo Xingzhou held her hands and said seriously, "Qiao Xi, what you want is fairness, but what I want is absolute safety. I can't take any risks. It's because of me that you are exposed to these dangers."
If she had not married him, she would have lived a peaceful and smooth life.
She would not be targeted by the Huo family's eldest wife, which would lead to the exposure of her identity as Cheng Han's apprentice, and naturally she would not arouse the Lu family's fear and targeting.
But the Lu family’s attitude towards Cheng’s acupuncture is indeed very strange!
Something big must have happened in that year that was sealed and kept silent by history!
"Qiao Xi, have you ever regretted marrying me?"
He is seeking confirmation.
If she doesn't marry him, Zhongyi will definitely go back and find her.
Maybe, they will be together.
Everything is possible.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Qiao Xi had never discussed this issue with him in depth. After winning the game tonight with great difficulty, she was filled with emotion. Her defenses were completely broken, and she had a lot to say in response to his question.
"Of course I want to hear the truth. You rarely lie, and you're not very good at sweet talk."
Qiao Xi's voice was soft, "I regretted it. At first, I married Zhao Yuzhen out of spite, thinking that this way I would not owe her my life. During that time, I always regretted it. I thought that once I healed your legs and our marriage agreement came into effect, we could get a divorce."
She always wanted to run.
Huo Xingzhou's hands pressed tightly against her waist, his nose brushing against her cheek. "I've regretted it before, too. I've always suspected that someone else was plotting for you to be with me. Do you know when I fell in love with you?"
Qiao Xi raised her head and smiled: "Then do you know when I fell in love with you?"
"I severed ties with the Huo family. You protected me and took the beating for me that day."
"The day you severed your relationship with the Huo family."
Qiao Xi's eyes flashed with surprise, "Is it the same day?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with a faint smile, "No woman has ever taken a beating for me."
All those ambiguities and temptations finally came to fruition on that day, entangled them together.
Qiao Xi's lips curled up as she looked at him. "That was the day I realized some people are loyal and righteous, and are heroes. But it's a pity that they don't understand you, trample on your dignity and deny your efforts. The people I love and cherish cannot be trampled upon by them!"
Her eyes were gentle, as if filled with spring water.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.
Testing and pressing forward.
lingering.
Deep kiss.
Qiao Xi raised her head slightly, and through her hazy eyes she could catch a glimpse of the desire pouring out of the man's eyes.
"Huo Xingzhou..."
"Um?"
His shirt was open, revealing his collarbone. The abstinence he showed while kissing was enough to make someone seduce him to death.
Her red lips were numb, and she spoke vaguely: "Slow down."
The man said in a very soft voice, "Okay."
…
The moonlight is like water.
A Rolls-Royce is driving on the road leading to the Yunqi Hotel.
Old Chen sat in the front and drove steadily.
The car was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. Huo Sijiao, the drunkard, was getting drunk and her mind was not very clear.
She was not a good drinker and kept reaching out to pull Shen Xuanzhi's clothes.
Shen Xuanzhi kept moving and moved to the side of the car door.
There is no place to move!
Old Chen glanced in the rearview mirror.
Yo, these two are almost attached!
He quickly lowered the baffles in the front and rear spaces, not wanting the young man to feel shy.
