Chapter 116: You can do anything
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened instantly, staring at her and asking, "I don't understand."
The skin on Qiao Xi's neck flushed red, and she looked away as she said, "That's it."
"I lost too much blood and don't remember anything." He became further embarrassed.
Qiao Xi threw away the jar and said, "'Exploring the Mysteries of the Human Body', 'Learning from the West to Defeat the West'..." When she said the last word, she was too embarrassed to face anyone.
Huo Xingzhou put his arm around her slender waist, his tone concealing a smile: "So you want to watch these things with me. If you really want to watch them, I'll reluctantly accompany you."
Shu Xue was wrong. Men are indeed easy to coax, but they will also take advantage of you and act ungratefully.
Qiao Xi was extremely ashamed.
"The USB drive is in the car, you can go get it. I will risk my life to accompany you through the long night." He half-closed his eyes, hiding the teasing look in his eyes.
Qiao Xi was angry and annoyed, but she was tongue-tied.
She impulsively blocked his gibberish lips and bit them with her pearly teeth.
Huo Xingzhou hugged her waist tightly and deepened the kiss.
full of pathos.
Complex and long.
Qiao Xi's breathing was rapid, her face flushed. Her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as if washed by water, and her watery eyes were alluring. The beast imprisoned in Huo Xingzhou's heart seemed to be about to break free from its cage.
Forcible possession.
He panted slightly and said, "Since you want to make amends, you should make amends with yourself next time. There is a video room in the villa. You can do whatever you want."
His hint was very obvious.
Qiao Xi's heart was beating uncontrollably, making a thumping sound.
"Qiao Xi, can I do whatever I want?" he asked.
Qiao Xi's body trembled, and when she met his exceptionally dark eyes, she replied very softly, "Yeah."
You can do whatever you want.
…
the next day.
The rain gradually subsided, the continuous heavy rain finally stopped, and the sun came out, which was rare.
"What a blessing! They knew we were leaving today and cleared the way for us," the surgeon exclaimed. "Now the bus can get in."
"I'm finally leaving, and I'm a little reluctant."
"I really envy Dr. Qiao and having a husband to take home. Where can I find such a handsome and respectable husband?"
All the equipment for the free clinic has been packed up and we are waiting for the bus to arrive and then leave.
Qiao Xi was an exception. Huo Xingzhou drove and could pick her up at any time.
The Rolls-Royce at the entrance of the village has been watched countless times.
The mountain road was difficult to drive on, and the car body was covered with mud and scratches at first. The kind-hearted villagers who were rescued by Huo Xingzhou yesterday spontaneously washed the car.
When Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walked out of the small bungalow, they were surrounded by enthusiastic villagers.
"Doctor Qiao, your medical skills are truly amazing! My child can now walk..."
"Mr. Huo, thank you for saving us! I'm so sorry you got hurt! These are our free-range eggs and green vegetables, they're not worth much!"
"And our..."
Several baskets of country eggs and green leafy vegetables were stuffed into Huo Xingzhou's arms. Qiao Xi had seen him in a suit and tie, looking superior, but she had never seen such a scene.
He burst out laughing.
"Chen Xun, what are you standing there for?"
Huo Xingzhou handed all the things to Chen Xun with a dark face and warned him, "Put them in the car, don't break them."
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
Chen Xun worked hard to put the things away and sat in the driver's seat.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou also got on the car. She looked out the window at Longtan Township, feeling reluctant to leave.
"Mr. Huo, will we have a chance to come here again in the future?" Qiao Xi asked while sitting in the back seat.
"You can come if you want."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Chen Xun, contact Zhou Yu to allocate some funds for road construction in Longtan Township."
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
This sentence is always true in any era, but building roads requires too much manpower and material resources.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou in astonishment, her heart still pounding. She even felt ashamed of having once thought the Xingyue Foundation was a token of love.
The man she fell in love with was ambitious and kind-hearted.
…
After a three-hour drive, Qiao Xi finally arrived at the Huo family villa.
Unexpectedly, Du Juan and Huo Sijiao were also waiting inside, helping Aunt Qian prepare the welcoming banquet.
"Sister-in-law, you're back! We were just guessing when you would arrive." Huo Sijiao affectionately took Qiao Xi's arm, "The kitchen is full of your favorite dishes."
"Sorry to trouble you." Qiao Xi said politely.
"We're a family." Du Juan said with a smile, "Come, let me tell you something."
Qiao Xi glanced at Huo Xingzhou and received his approval. His wound was hidden under his white shirt and could not be seen on the surface.
On the way, he reminded me not to tell my family about my injury.
"I'll go to the bedroom to change clothes." Huo Xingzhou said calmly.
After he left, Dujuan sent Huo Sijiao away and asked her to go to the kitchen to help Aunt Qian.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the living room, as close as mother and daughter.
"Qiao Xi, I saw everything that happened online. Originally, the Xu and Huo families wanted to form an alliance, but it was my foolish idea." She apologized, "I thought that the two children were childhood sweethearts, and it would be perfect for them to be a couple."
Xu Xingluo used to be well-behaved and sensible.
But the car accident made Dujuan see her true character.
The Huo family's second branch was in decline, and everyone took advantage of it, even the Xu family avoided it. When the second branch proposed to have a happy wedding, Xu Guangyao sent his daughter abroad overnight.
Du Juan saw the true colors of the Xu family and could understand but could not forgive them.
"Before, we, the elders, didn't know what kind of feelings Xingzhou had for her. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xingzhou really likes you."
"My son is too proud, has a strong sense of self-esteem, and is a bit of a male chauvinist at heart. Please bear with him. After all, you are going to spend your life together!"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "Mr. Huo is fine."
She understood that Dujuan came to comfort her.
"If you say it's okay, then that's good. Tell me what he did wrong. I will deal with him for you!" Dujuan said with a smile.
Qiao Xi's mouth curled up.
"Aunt Qian's soup is ready, let's eat together." Du Juan stood up, took her hand and whispered, "From now on, you can treat me as your biological mother."
Qiao Xi was stunned, her eyes slightly red.
Du Juan obviously knew what happened in the Su family, but she didn't say it explicitly, giving Qiao Xi enough face.
"Okay." Qiao Xi responded with a sob.
…
Different from the warmth and harmony of the Huo family.
In the northern part of Haicheng, the extravagant and wealthy Tian family was in turmoil.
The cause was that Tian Tian received a call from the police station, asking her to cooperate with the investigation.
Her face turned pale as she shouted to the other end of the phone: "Hiring a killer? Breaking and robbing? I didn't..."
She didn't do it!
She just used her connections to bribe a gangster and asked him to take a few photos to threaten Qiao Xi into divorce.
If Qiao Xi doesn't divorce, then her private photos will be spread. The Huo family wants to save face, so they will force Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou to divorce.
How did it involve hiring a killer?
Tian Tian's mouth was dry and her scalp was numb. "Are you mistaken? How dare I hire someone to kill someone in a society ruled by law?"
The police officer on the other end of the phone said, "Cooperating with the investigation is every citizen's obligation. Please rest assured that we will not slander an innocent person. Please come as soon as possible."
Tian Tian's heart stopped and her face turned pale.
She is not innocent, but she is not that vicious either.
She drove a BMW from the garage to the police station, distracted, and unexpectedly crashed into a stone pillar. A passerby rushed her to the hospital...
Things suddenly became a big deal.
