Chapter 492 He Gambled His Life on Family
He is lying!
How could it not hurt?
But Qiao Xi didn't say anything, for she was afraid that she would choke up uncontrollably as soon as she opened her mouth.
She took out a disinfectant alcohol cotton pad and wiped his wound bit by bit.
Xu Yunye clenched his hands into fists, tensing his joints to endure the stimulating pain.
He didn't even make a sound.
Qiao Xi's tears almost rolled down.
His behavior can only mean one thing.
He's used to it!
“Wow!”
Sun Weimeng bared his teeth and exclaimed, breaking all the warmth and sadness.
He rested his hands on his chin and shouted, "Xu Yunye, you're so awesome! You said it didn't hurt and it didn't hurt at all. You didn't even say a word when I put the alcohol on it! Six!"
"You're a fucking genius! I thought we were doomed tonight, but you managed to turn the tables! So Lu Yan really did receive an invitation from the Glory Club, what about you?"
Sun Weimeng's face was full of gossip.
Xu Yunye said frankly: "TN Club once invited me to be a racing driver."
"So you're the number one in the Chinese racing world! It's Lu Yan's bad luck! Why don't you go to the club?"
"Maybe it's because I don't like racing." Xu Yunye lowered his eyes, looking a little lonely.
Sun Weimeng was even more curious: "If you don't like it, how did you master this skill? With just that one move, you flew past Lu Yan?"
Qiao Xi also looked at him curiously.
Xu Yunye was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Maybe it's because I'm yearning for something that doesn't belong to me. No talent can compare to not caring about one's life..."
Sun Weimeng, who was loved by his parents, didn't understand what he meant, but Qiao Xi did.
Xu Yunye used his own life as a bet in order to attract the attention of Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao.
But he seemed to have gained nothing.
Some people spend their entire lives healing the pain of their childhood.
All Xu Yunye desires is family affection.
Qiao Xi gently pressed the gauze on his wound and bandaged it round and round.
Finally, he poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Xu Yunye, saying, "Brother, drink some water. Your lips look very dry..."
Xu Yunye suddenly looked up and stared at her in a daze: "What did you call me just now?"
Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with smiles: "Haven't you always wanted to be my brother? Then I reluctantly agree."
"I'm supposed to be your brother. Xu Xingluo has been calling me that for so many years, and I can't change it. I don't want to be her second brother, but I'm willing to protect you. You are my only sister."
Xu Yunye looked at her and said seriously.
The corners of Qiao Xi's eyes turned slightly red. "If you don't really like racing, could you please not participate in such dangerous competitions in the future? We... are all very worried about you."
"Okay, I promise."
Xu Yunye is very obedient.
Sun Weimeng clicked his tongue twice and said, "What a pity. Xu Yunye, I will honor the 10 million I promised you."
Xu Yunye said with some boasting, "Give it to my sister as pocket money."
Sun Weimeng said sourly: "Your sister makes hundreds of millions in one night, is she still short of your 10 million? Don't show off to me, although I don't have a sister who is a miracle doctor. But my relationship with Qiao Xi is deeper than yours! Qiao Xi, don't you think so?"
Xu Yunye also looked at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi laughed dryly twice. It would be wrong to choose anyone.
"It looks like Xiaoyuan's midnight snack is ready. I'll go give some to Xingzhou."
She quickly found an excuse and ran away.
Sun Weimeng chuckled twice: "She and I are even closer. I'm sorry to hurt your feelings."
Xu Yunye glanced at him coldly: "Qiao Xi and I were born from the same mother. We have a telepathic connection. No one in this world can be closer than us, not even Huo Xingzhou."
Sun Weimeng made a face and said, "Go tell Huo Xingzhou this and see how he deals with you."
A dark light flashed in Xu Yunye's eyes.
He was somewhat bothered by the fact that Qiao Xi had married Huo Xingzhou, a man he had never met, to bring good luck to her. He felt that she had been wronged. Besides, his uncle and his brother-in-law seemed to have had some problems.
…
The other side.
Qiao Xi took a tray and went upstairs with the midnight snack. Xiao Yuan prepared a bowl of wonton soup and a bowl of bird's nest. It was not suitable to eat too greasy food at night, so these foods were the best to fill the stomach.
When she passed by the study, she saw that the lights were not on, so she went straight to the master bedroom.
Qiao Xi gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom.
strangeness.
It's dark here too.
She pressed the switch next to the door, and the master bedroom became brighter.
Only then did she notice the man sitting on the single sofa, his hands casually folded on his knees.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and looked at her, and the coldness in his black eyes seemed to melt ice and snow.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Have you finished dealing with the matter downstairs?"
Qiao Xi placed the tray on the coffee table in front of him and said, "It's done. Why didn't you turn on the light?"
Huo Xingzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap. He said softly, "I just wanted to sit quietly for a while after coming back from the study, and I forgot to turn on the light. Anyway, you would definitely turn on the light for me when you come."
He buried his head deep in her neck and could smell the grapefruit-flavored lotion on her body.
Qiao Xi asked softly, "Were you unhappy on your way back just now?"
"Um."
He responded, his voice sexy.
"Why?"
Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice, "Because I wanted to share my joy with my wife, someone was so blind as to want to get in the car. And I can't just scold that person."
Qiao Xi's pretty face was filled with a smile: "How can you be so jealous! Actually, I feel sorry for him. On the surface, he has fine clothes and delicious food, but in reality, his life is even worse than mine. I never knew that Xu Yunye raced with the intention of dying. In the future... I will treat him better."
Huo Xingzhou hugged her tighter. "No matter how good you are to him, you can't surpass me. But since he stood up for you tonight, I won't bother with him. I didn't expect him to do such a crazy thing."
Qiao Xi's tone was gentle: "I thought you knew everything and were very powerful."
The man kissed her cheek and said, "You're still the best tonight. You brought some people to keep the place under control, and evened the score in the gambling game. Even on their home turf, you didn't lose any momentum."
Qiao Xi turned her head and looked at him level: "Huo Xingzhou, I can't always be a burden to you. I also hope that one day you can be proud of me."
"You already did it."
He placed a passionate kiss on the corner of her mouth, with a lingering and intense affection. His large hand moved behind her and he whispered, "Let's go to bed?"
He seemed to be in a particularly good mood tonight, perhaps because he saw another side of his beloved and found it difficult to control himself.
Qiao Xi quickly placed her hands on his chest and distanced herself from him.
Her red lips still had a hint of luster, and she said, "No, I have a gift for you."
