Chapter 106 Qiao Xi, I Want to Save You
Qiao Xi quickly closed her eyes, pulled the quilt over her and pretended to be asleep.
She could clearly hear the door opening and footsteps approaching. The mattress beside her sank significantly, and the familiar cold wood scent drifted towards her.
It’s Huo Xingzhou!
Qiao Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the bitterness and complexity in her heart fermented.
The wall lamp was dim, and the man under the lamp had a cold face like jade. He stretched out his warm fingers and gently stroked the corners of her eyes.
Wet.
The man said softly, "Qiao Xi, I know you are awake."
Qiao Xi was exposed and slowly opened her eyes, meeting Huo Xingzhou's calm eyes.
Her eyes were red and swollen, like walnuts, with accusation and grievance in her eyes.
"Unhappy?" he asked.
Qiao Xi shook her head stubbornly: "I'm not unhappy. It's getting late, Mr. Huo, go back and get some rest."
The tone was distant and unfamiliar, shooing him away.
Huo Xingzhou looked at her steadily and said, "Okay, then I'm really leaving."
He was a calculating king, so he naturally saw through her inner discomfort.
She is inherently inferior and not brave enough.
Qiao Xi felt a pang of pain in her heart, her hair clinging to her ears. As she watched him stand up and prepare to leave, her eyes filled with moisture, a mist obscuring her vision.
Didn't he want to explain to her a little more?
"Little fool."
Huo Xingzhou suddenly turned around, and seeing her appearance, he approached her and pressed her down on the soft bed.
The man asked condescendingly, "Will you be able to sleep tonight after I leave?"
Qiao Xi stared at him, not having the courage to ask. It seemed that saying those words would be like surrendering to him. Love affairs between men and women were a game of chess. Although she was ignorant, she did not want to surrender.
"I can." She said stubbornly.
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his fingers and rubbed the corners of her lips. He could feel the wetness of her lips and tongue: "What do you want me to use to pry open this mouth?"
Qiao Xi's hands were tightly grasping the bed sheets, and her white legs were stretched straight.
Silence, soundless.
Huo Xingzhou suddenly lowered his head and grabbed her red lips, kissing them closely and closely, hot and wet. He bit her plump, crystal-clear red lips with great force, pinching her slender waist with both hands.
Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't suppress the sobs from her lips and tongue...
His hand lifted the hem of her pajamas, and Qiao Xi screamed in shame and anger: "I... I'm having my period." Her eyes were red, and she looked easy to bully.
The man pressed his cheek against hers, his breathing rapid and unsteady: "Does it hurt?"
Qiao Xi felt extremely aggrieved, tears bursting out: "It doesn't hurt."
In fact, it hurts so much!
My abdomen felt like it was being cut by a blunt knife, over and over again.
Huo Xingzhou wiped her tears and said, "Still trying to be brave."
Qiao Xi's face was covered with tear marks, and her eyes were as clear as if they had been washed. She seemed to have mustered up great courage and asked, "Mr. Huo, is Miss Xu important to you?"
Huo Xingzhou turned over, lay beside her and whispered, "Qiao Xi, it's you I want to save tonight."
But he was tricked.
The lake was dark, and Xiang Huai jumped into the water to save people without hesitation. Huo Xingzhou was sure that he would save Xu Xingluo, so he swam in the other direction.
But I didn't expect that even Xiang Huai would cheat.
He was entangled by Xu Xingluo and couldn't break free.
"I'm sorry for putting you in danger."
After hearing his explanation, Qiao Xi's resentment dissipated for the most part.
"Mr. Huo, do you believe me? I really didn't push her." Qiao Xi was too unconfident in front of this man.
She knew she had fallen.
His gentleness, gentlemanliness, and restraint were like poison to her, making her addicted.
Huo Xingzhou gently put his arm around her shoulders and said, "With your character, there's no need to do that. The Liu and Xu families treat her like the apple of their eye. She's been spoiled. Try to avoid direct conflict with her."
Qiao Xi looked at him. Maybe he and Xu Xingluo had a very sweet past, but it was already a thing of the past.
She tried to ignore the thorn in her heart and moved closer to him, nestling in his arms.
Huo Xingzhou placed his hand on her abdomen, stroking it with his warm palm as he said, "Qiao Xi, don't keep your grievances bottled up in your heart."
Qiao Xi turned her head and kissed the side of his face, her eyes sparkling.
"good."
Huo Xingzhou's mouth corners sank slightly: "Now, I think..."
Her left hand went numb after hearing this, and she quickly hid her hands under the sheets and whispered, "Only for a little while."
He actually didn't mean that, but the way she misunderstood was so cute, so Huo Xingzhou went along with it.
"It's not small." The man's voice was almost inaudible.
Clothes rustled, the quilt billowed, and the sounds of kisses and whispers rose faintly.
…
In the corridor of the Liu family.
The atmosphere was tense and anxious.
The two families had complicated thoughts and different expressions.
The private doctor in a white coat walked out of the room, took off his mask and said, "It's nothing serious. The fall into the water triggered asthma, and I have a slight fever."
"That's good." Liu Huimin covered her heart, breathed a long sigh and walked into the room. Seeing Xu Xingluo with a wound on his cheek, she felt distressed again.
Liu Huimin hugged her and cried out repeatedly, "Baby, I'm so heartbroken!"
Xu Xingluo nestled in her arms and sobbed pitifully a few times.
She wiped away her tears, looked at everyone in the room and said, "Uncle, aunt, and grandmother, I'm sorry! Xingluo made you worry and ruined my little cousin's full moon banquet. It's all Xingluo's fault."
She is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Old Lady Liu patted her head and comforted her, "It's good that Xingluo is okay. We don't blame you."
Liu Zongquan said in a deep voice, "Even Qinghu's bodyguards haven't been withdrawn yet. I heard that the Huo family hired the most famous traceology expert to rush to Haicheng overnight to investigate the truth."
His eyes were calm and deep as he looked at Xu Xingluo and asked, "Xingluo, what exactly happened at that time?"
Xu Xingluo's expression froze, and tears instantly fell: "Uncle, I was so scared at the time, I just felt someone pushing me, or maybe it was an illusion."
Liu Zongquan was not so easy to fool. He stared at Xu Xingluo and said, "I want the truth."
Xu Xingluo shook his head pitifully: "I can't remember."
Liu Zongquan glanced at her calmly and said, "What the Huo family wants is our attitude. The traceology expert is secondary. Regardless of the truth, you must apologize tomorrow and clear Qiao Xi of suspicion."
Xu Xingluo was stunned.
Liu Huimin, who was standing by, stroked Xu Xingluo's cheek with heartache. The palm print on it was very obvious.
She said with a cold face: "Why should my daughter apologize?"
Liu Zongquan took a deep breath and said, "She's the disciple of Cheng Han, the national doctor! Our Liu family needs help! Whether Zong Yun can wake up depends entirely on whether she is willing to help!"
Xu Xingluo burst into tears and said, "For my uncle, I'm willing to do anything."
"My dear baby." Liu Huimin hugged her and cried sadly, but she hated Qiao Xi even more in her heart.
Xu Xingluo's eyes were red, and she smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not wronged."
She was even more afraid of the arrival of the trace identification experts, and she had to find a way to destroy all the traces by the Qing Lake!
