Chapter 331 Qiao Xi, You Found a Treasure
She looked at Qiao Xi with envy and jealousy.
"Qiao Xi, you told me last time that your husband had prepared an invitation to the auction to prevent others from bidding against you. Besides the medical book and the bronze acupuncture figurine, there was also a sapphire ring. Is that correct?"
Qiao Xi nodded slowly, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Shu Xue's expression was very complicated: "I remember you didn't want to celebrate your birthday on August 1st, saying that it belonged to Xu Xingluo. Instead, you wanted to celebrate the birthday on your ID card, which is September 1st."
Qiao Xi was confused, "Yes."
Huo Sijiao and Du Juan once tentatively brought up this topic and asked her if she wanted to hold a birthday party.
Qiao Xi said that she didn't want to celebrate her birthday on the same day as Xu Xingluo, so it was Grandma Qiao who took her to register on September 1st.
She wanted to treat this day as her birthday forever, and she also firmly stated that she did not recognize the Liu family.
She wants to be Qiao Xi.
I don't want to be the enviable jewel of the Liu family in Haicheng.
As Qiao Xi, one day she will shine brighter than a pearl.
Shu Xue was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. She was even more excited than if she had won the lottery. "Qiao Xi, I feel like I've eaten a truckload of lemons! He gave you a sapphire ring! Why not a platinum diamond ring, not an emerald jade, but a sapphire!"
Why!
Qiao Xi didn't know either.
She seems to have lacked a sense of romance since childhood.
It was Shu Xue who told her the meaning of the blue gum flowers.
Shu Xue suppressed her voice and almost broke it.
"Because September's birthstone is sapphire!"
"Because Huo Xingzhou took your words to heart!"
"Because he understands you, respects you, and loves you deeply!"
Shu Xue knew all these things like the back of her hand, and would watch some short videos every day in her free time. She looked at Qiao Xi and said, "You've found a treasure! Sapphires also represent loyalty and steadfastness!"
"Qiao Xi, he's confessing his love to you! Even though they're already married, he's still being subtle about it."
Some men don't talk about love.
But love and loyalty are reflected in every detail.
Qiao Xi's red lips were slightly open.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment.
It's like a group of egrets flying over a calm lake, and the slight flapping of their wings creates ripples.
Her head was in a mess.
Shu Xue looked at her dazed expression and said, "You didn't realize it until today, did you?"
Qiao Xi's throat tightened as she spoke, "I thought he bought the wedding ring to make up for the regret of us not having a wedding. I didn't expect it to have so many meanings. I thought it was just an ordinary wedding ring. It just happened to be available at the auction, so he bought it."
Even then, she was moved.
Shu Xue was so disappointed: "What did you tell me in the beginning? 8.8 million! Wouldn't it be enough to just buy you a pigeon egg diamond ring? Is he a fool to spend so much money on a sapphire wedding ring?"
In the market, diamond rings weighing more than five carats can be called pigeon eggs.
Where can I spend 8.8 million!
Qiao Xi was scolded by her, but her heart felt sweet yet sour.
Shu Xue took a deep breath, looked at her, and asked, "Do you think your husband's main purpose in going to the auction was to buy medical books or wedding rings?"
If it were before, Qiao Xi would have thought that he was helping her take pictures of the medical books and bronze men.
But now, she wasn't sure.
Wedding rings are a token of the heart.
Medical books are also a token of my heart’s love.
Shu Xue covered her chest and said, "Oh, I'm so suffocated! You two are so infuriating when it comes to romance. How can you express your feelings in such a subtle and restrained way? He's simply talking to a cow!"
Qiao Xi pointed at her nose and said, "I am a cow?"
Shu Xue was very emotional: "You are a cow, a pig! You are a little idiot! I am worried about your husband! After all this time, he didn't mention anything?"
Qiao Xi shook her head.
Huo Xingzhou is not a flamboyant person.
Qiao Xi suddenly got up from the red wine pool, put on a bathrobe and said, "Shu Xue, you soak first. I'm going to find my husband!"
"Hey? You're just going to leave me like that?"
"I'll let Master Zhou come to accompany you!"
Qiao Xi trotted barefoot for a few steps and reached the men's bathing pool. Zhou Yu was startled and quickly shrank into the water.
"Sister-in-law, why did you launch a surprise attack?"
Qiao Xi's face flushed red from the pool water as she said, "Zhou Yu, go chat with Shu Xue. Xing Zhou and I have something to discuss."
"Ahem, I'm not familiar with Nurse Shu. Is this a bad idea?"
Although there is nothing wrong with taking a red wine bath, many places have large baths where men and women can have sex together.
Qiao Xi lied seriously, "I know you two are not familiar with each other and have a lot of misunderstandings. This is a good opportunity to explain things clearly. Shu Xue is a very good girl, and there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future. You can't always quarrel with her, right?"
Zhou Yu said modestly, "Since it is my sister-in-law's kindness, I will reluctantly agree."
"Um."
Qiao Xi nodded obediently, "Go ahead."
Zhou Yu got out of the water and left the bathtub.
Huo Xingzhou leaned against the pool wall, his eyes darkening with moisture. A smile curled the corners of his mouth as he looked at Qiao Xi calmly and said, "How come you're also capable of deceiving people?"
Qiao Xi slowly entered the water and got very close to him.
"I need to get Mr. Zhou out of the way. He's the biggest third wheel."
Qiao Xi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she looked up at him brightly: "I just want to be alone with you." She took the initiative to reach out and hugged his strong waist.
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: "What stimulated you?"
She is not the proactive type.
Normally, it would take a lot of effort to coax her into taking the initiative, but Huo Xingzhou enjoyed this kind of flirtatious feeling and liked to indulge her.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, her fair skin stained a light pink from the hot springs, and said, "Why did you take a picture of my sapphire wedding ring? Is it because it's September's birthstone?"
Shu Xue's feelings were too subtle, and she wanted to confirm them again.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed darkly: "Is your stupid head finally coming to your senses?"
"So it's true." Qiao Xi's heart was shaken, and every cell in her body was filled with an indescribable emotion. "Except for grandma, no one cares about me so much. Have you ever thought that if Shu Xue didn't tell me, I might never know the feelings you hid in the sapphire in my life."
His expression was indifferent and contained a sense of indifferent pride: "So what?"
He is not a megaphone that needs to publicize everything he does.
Time reveals a person's true character.
He asked: "Qiao Xi, does not having these things prove that I don't love you enough? I'm not looking for your return."
Qiao Xi looked at him and buried her head deeply in his arms.
"You're always so nice!"
He is so good that sometimes she can't help but feel inferior, wondering how she deserves to have such a man!
If the suffering in the first half of her life was just fate playing tricks on her.
That started from the moment I met Huo Xingzhou.
It was a candy that fate gave her as compensation.
This candy is too sweet!
Qiao Xi was about to say something to express her feelings when Huo Xingzhou suddenly pulled her away forcefully.
Bang!
The screen that blocked the view fell down heavily, splashing water all over the ground!
