Chapter 163: Birth
Qiao Xi dodged his kiss
The man was slow and patient, like a good hunter treating prey in a trap.
There's no way to escape anyway!
"Mr. Huo, you...at least turn off the video first."
"Why should it be closed? We can learn and practice at the same time, what do you think?" He coaxed her, lowering his brows, his eyes full of warmth and tenderness.
Qiao Xi shook her head, not good.
It's so shameful.
She couldn't watch others do what she did while doing what she did with Mr. Huo. She felt a little regretful. She had to provoke this man when there were so many other things she could do.
He seemed to be abstinent and restrained, but at night he was very bad. Knowing that he had strong needs in that area, why did she need to get back at him?
"Mr. Huo! I'm...coming!"
"No, I calculated the time. Today is not your ovulation period, it's safe." He kept his arms around her waist, neither moving closer nor letting go, making Qiao Xi feel very uncomfortable.
He is extremely talented in this area and has learned it by himself.
As he said, he tried to be perfect in every aspect. Even in such matters, he had to maintain absolute dominance in front of Qiao Xi.
"Qiao Xi!"
"Sail the boat!"
Outside the audio-visual room, Dujuan shouted.
Qiao Xi stared at Huo Xingzhou tensely, "Mr. Huo is lying. The soundproofing is not good at all!"
Huo Xingzhou laughed.
Qiao Xi was extremely flustered and hurriedly climbed up from him. She took the remote control and turned off the video, then frantically sorted out her messy clothes.
The door to the audio-visual room opened, and Du Juan looked over at them. Qiao Xi stared at her with her mouth open, unable to articulate anything. Huo Xingzhou stood up unhurriedly and buttoned his shirt with measured demeanor.
Du Juan was a little embarrassed, but secretly delighted as she spoke, "Did I disturb you? You guys continue, I'll go down first."
"Grandma, we're just watching a movie! It's nothing, I'll go downstairs with you."
Qiao Xi trotted forward and took her arm, leaving Huo Xingzhou behind and ran away. Huo Xingzhou looked at their backs, but did not catch up with them. Instead, he walked into the study.
Qiao Xi followed Du Juan into the living room and poured her a glass of water.
"Have some water."
"Okay." Dujuan took the water and looked at her belly eagerly.
Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed and sat on the sofa.
Du Juan was very direct in her words. She treated Qiao Xi as a family member and had nothing to hide. "How is Xingzhou? I heard that you cured Sun Weimeng. How is Xingzhou doing?"
He had been told before that he was infertile, and she was worried sick.
Qiao Xi blushed slightly and said, "Very good."
It’s more than good.
"Qiao Xi, I've never worked in my life, and your father-in-law only has a nominal position at Tianyuan Group. We're old now, and we feel lonely and empty with nothing to do every day. When we have nothing to do, we always wish we had grandchildren to accompany us."
Du Juan said earnestly, "Young people have better recovery abilities, so give birth to a child sooner rather than later. You don't have to take care of the child, just carry it in your belly for ten months, and then hand it over to us after the birth!"
The words used by elders to induce childbirth are all the same.
Qiao Xi was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Huo handed the clinic to me, and I want to make achievements."
"I can also help you with the clinic. A career is a lifelong struggle, so you might as well have a child and devote yourself to your career." Du Juan held her hand, "Qiao Xi, I'm not forcing you."
She sighed and said, "We have a small family. Thinking about the time when Xingzhou had the car accident, I'm still terrified. Can you think about it again?"
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Du Juan smiled. "I heard your hospital is going to hold an exchange conference. Are you the main speaker?"
"Yes." Qiao Xi said.
This expert exchange focused on the case of Liu Zongyun, a case in which Western medicine sought to understand the profoundness of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qiao Xi cherished this opportunity, as it could promote both traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and further the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
"Well done, I'm proud of you too."
Qiao Xi smiled at her and said, "I'm honored too."
"It's getting late, I won't disturb you. You guys..." Du Juan made a gesture, "Hurry back to your room and sleep."
Qiao Xi nodded awkwardly.
…
This night.
Large flat on the 15th floor of Biyuan boutique community.
Xu Xingluo and his family of three sat in the living room, with the sky filled with dark clouds.
Shen Shiyun poured a cup of tea for both father and daughter, "Drink some water first to moisten your throat. Won't you be discovered if you come here so late?"
"It's okay. Liu Huimin is very relieved knowing that Xingluo and I are together." Xu Guangyao said lightly.
Just imagine, which father would take his daughter to find his mistress?
Xu Xingluo snorted coldly and said in a bad tone, "You're the one who should be paying attention. Why did you insist on butting in when Qiao Xi and I argued last time? You're a shady mistress, you know that?"
She looked down on Shen Shiyun.
Even if this is her biological mother.
"I'm sorry, Xingluo. I just saw you being bullied and didn't think too much about it." Shen Shiyun loved Xu Xingluo very much and missed her all these years.
"What if Brother Xingzhou notices something's wrong? You're so stupid!"
"Xingluo!" Xu Guangyao scolded, "Don't talk to your mother like that, she's doing this for your own good." He put his arm around Shen Shiyun's waist and whispered, "Don't go out casually in the future, okay?"
Shen Shiyun’s eyes turned red and she said okay.
Xu Xingluo glared at them and said, "We heard from the hospital that Second Uncle was successfully rescued and has been transferred to the intensive care unit. What should we do if First Uncle won't let us go to the hospital?"
Xu Guangyao's expression was stern: "He won't be out of danger within a week. What if he gets pneumonia?"
"Dad, we can't always think about what might happen." She blamed Xu Guangyao a little, "It's all your fault. Why didn't you hit him to death? Or strangle him to death when he was unconscious. Now, there's nothing you can do."
Xu Guangyao said coldly: "Who knows if he is lucky enough to wake up one day."
He was silent for a long time, with a gleam in his eyes.
"I have another idea."
Xu Xingluo asked anxiously, "What's the solution?"
Xu Guangyao said slowly, "Qiao Xi will soon leave Haicheng City Hospital, and the Xu family's smart sanatorium will also be put into use. We persuaded the Liu family to send Liu Zongyun to the sanatorium, so we can take action at any time."
"They won't agree!" Xu Xingluo said without thinking.
"What if I ask Lu Bannong's apprentice to take care of me?" Xu Guangyao narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Xu Xingluo was stunned for a moment, then he would probably agree.
"Dad, how can you hire Lu Bannong as an apprentice?" The north and the south drew a line between the two sides, and neither side interfered with the other.
Xu Guangyao didn't understand either: "He contacted me and said he wanted to study how Liu Zongyun woke up."
Xu Xingluo gritted her teeth and said, "That's what we'll do. I'll go convince Mom, and she'll listen to me! She'll be the Liu family's lobbyist, and she'll definitely send my second uncle to a nursing home!"
The father and daughter had no reverence at all when talking about human life.
The fierce look seemed as if they were carved from the same mold.
After resolving a worry, Xu Xingluo finally had some free time to chat, and asked about the doubts that had been hidden in his heart.
"Dad, why don't you like my second brother?"
