Chapter 44 You satisfy your cravings, regardless of my life or death
He was obviously dignified and abstinent, like a flower on a high mountain, but his words were full of eroticism.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but blush.
She retorted with a straight face, "No."
"Then... try artificial respiration again? This time, you teach me." He looked at her and said.
"don't want."
Qiao Xi shook her head.
Huo Xingzhou looked at her without saying a word, which made Qiao Xi feel guilty.
"Mr. Huo, I'm going to wash up and rest first. Remember to go to bed early." She almost ran away, but when she jumped off the sink, she was grabbed by Huo Xingzhou.
She fell completely into his arms.
"How unfair." He smiled, his stern face close to me, "You've satisfied your craving, and you don't care whether I live or die."
"No."
Qiao Xi denied it.
"Then I won't be polite." He said, and then kissed her swollen lips, extremely lingering. He was neither hurried nor slow, as if he had plenty of time to deal with her.
Qiao Xi felt that her brain had become very dull, and the faint smell of alcohol and cold fragrance on his body eroded her nerves.
at last.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and bit her lips gently. "Will the little genius doctor take revenge on me? Is there coptis root in the medicine I drink tomorrow?"
"I won't let go."
Qiao Xi made repeated assurances.
Huo Xingzhou finally let her go. Qiao Xi was free, and her legs softened as they fell to the ground.
"I'm going back to my room." Her voice was light and she walked out with her hands and feet together.
A light laugh appeared on Huo Xingzhou's lips. He looked down and cursed inwardly.
As a couple, they are too unfamiliar.
As partners in the agreement, they are not innocent.
No one broke this ambiguous window paper.
…
the next day.
Aunt Qian prepared breakfast early in the morning. When she saw Qiao Xi coming downstairs, she called out, "Young Madam, come and have breakfast."
"good."
Qiao Xi pulled the silk scarf wrapped around her neck awkwardly.
Last night was too intense.
He seemed to be taking revenge for the stupid thing she did last time.
"The temperature is rising today and it's very hot outside. Why are you wearing a silk scarf?" Aunt Qian asked curiously.
"I'm a little cold."
Qiao Xi sat at the dining table. Huo Xingzhou hadn't come downstairs yet. She lowered her head and started eating her breakfast.
Aunt Qian saw through it but didn't say anything. "Thirty degrees, it's a bit cold indeed."
In late spring and early summer, the temperature fluctuates. Sometimes I wear mink, and sometimes I expose my waist.
After taking two bites, Qiao Xi saw that the living room was piled high with packages, so she asked, "Why are there so many packages?"
"They were all sent by the young master's classmates and friends. Even though our second branch has fallen on hard times, we are still surnamed Huo." Aunt Qian said as she packed up.
Express deliveries whose senders are unfamiliar should be put aside.
It was sent by the young master’s good friend, so let him open it himself.
"Let me help you." Qiao Xi finished eating quickly and walked to Aunt Qian to help her clean up and lend a hand.
She picked up a courier with an exquisite outer shell and thought that even the outer packaging of the courier was so beautiful, it must have been very thoughtful.
I saw the sender was from overseas.
"Xu...Xingluo?" she read aloud.
Xu? She seems to have a connection with people with the surname Xu lately.
When Aunt Qian heard this, her face changed.
She snatched the express from Qiao Xi's hand and ran out of the house, throwing it into the big trash can outside the villa.
After returning and washing his hands, he looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Young Madam, our family and the Xu family have conflicting horoscopes, so we can't keep any express delivery."
"What if it's something valuable? Should we send it back the same way?" Qiao Xi said hesitantly.
"No need. He's not an important person. I'll handle the things once they're sent to me."
She wouldn't even tell the young master.
"Oh." Qiao Xi responded obediently.
Aunt Qian warned again, "Don't tell the young master about this. It would only make him feel upset."
"I know."
After a while, they finished sorting the packages, and Huo Xingzhou finally came out of the indoor elevator. He changed into formal attire, with a pair of sapphire and diamond cufflinks on the cuffs of his black suit.
Very conspicuous.
Qiao Xi glanced at him and smiled.
"Good morning, young master. Come and have breakfast." Aunt Qian said, "There's a call from the old house. They say the old man wants you to come over."
"I see."
Huo Xingzhou came to the dining table, and Qiao Xi followed him and poured him a glass of milk.
"Mr. Huo, last night I..."
"Didn't the little genius doctor lose his memory due to drinking too much?" He raised his eyes to look at her and said, "I thought you were going to forget again."
Qiao Xi's throat tightened, and she spoke carefully, "Mr. Huo said last time that dopamine secretion is involuntary. It's just to satisfy your cravings, I know."
How could she ask him to give her artificial respiration? She had thought of many excuses when she woke up this morning. She had to be calm when facing him and not be shy.
Looking at her bold and nonchalant look, Huo Xingzhou was almost laughing out of anger.
He did say something similar, but he didn't see this reaction from her.
The man suddenly lost his appetite.
The phone beside him lit up, and a message appeared on the screen. He clicked it with a frown, then deleted the message without even looking at it.
Qiao Xi accidentally caught a glimpse of the portrait, an elegant white swan.
"Let's go to the old house."
His brows were no longer relaxed, and he seemed a little irritated.
The driver, Lao Chen, was already waiting outside. Qiao Xi stopped talking and followed him silently.
The car drove to the Huo family's old house and stopped.
Huo Xingzhou suddenly grabbed Qiao Xi's hand and said, "What I'm going to do today is a bit shocking. You can wait for me in the car."
Qiao Xi looked at him and shook her head: "I want to accompany Mr. Huo."
"good."
Wang Fengxian was the only one at home from the Huo family's main branch. When she saw them, she looked at them with contempt on her face.
In the master bedroom, the old man sat in a rocking chair, resting with his eyes closed.
"Grandpa, the second young master is here." The butler pushed open the door and said softly.
"Well, ask him to come in."
The old man's voice became heavier and more mature.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou entered the room.
The old man was wearing a Tang suit and leaning on a rocking chair. When he saw Qiao Xi, his eyes flashed with obvious disdain: "What is she doing here?"
"She's my wife, of course she has to follow me."
Huo Xingzhou's tone was indifferent.
"You have fallen into depravity." The old man said coldly.
"Grandpa, what do you want to talk to me about today?" Huo Xingzhou's eyes were cold instead of admiring.
The old man slowly stood up and walked in front of Huo Xingzhou.
"Xingzhou, you were originally my proudest grandson. Don't blame me for being heartless if things don't go as planned." His vicissitudes of life voice sounded.
"I've decided to publicly announce on my 70th birthday that the Huo family will be inherited by the eldest wife. I'll give them all my 30%, and you should also hand over your 5%."
He went back on his word and said that 5% was reserved for dividends to the second wife.
"The Huo family is made up of small shareholders. Besides the newly acquired Tianyuan Group, which holds 20% of the shares, your cousin holds 35% and is able to secure his position in the Huo family. You should be more generous."
Qiao Xi was filled with anger after hearing this. So, in order for Huo Beiting to maintain his position, Huo Xingzhou deserved to be sacrificed?
Huo Xingzhou looked at him quietly, as if a piece of ice was rapidly falling from his chest, piercing his internal organs and freezing his blood.
He glanced at the "Share Donation Agreement" that had been prepared long ago on the bedside, and his cold pale complexion was filled with mockery.
The human heart is on the left side, which is naturally biased!
He should never have had such extravagant hopes!
