Chapter 171 I want you, very much, I must

After dinner.

Huo Sijiao made an appointment with her friends to go out to a bar, and ran away after eating. Aunt Qian and Du Yan were cleaning the table, and Du Yan instructed: "Qiao Xi, go and bring the fruits from the kitchen to the study for them. Xingzhou's father has had a bad stomach recently, and he always eats some fruits after meals."

When people get older, they have to admit defeat.

"OK."

Qiao Xi was very well behaved in front of her elders and went upstairs with the fruit in her hand.

She walked through the corridor to the door of the study, which was not completely closed, leaving a gap. She was about to knock on the door when she heard Huo Jiancheng say something.

"She is the apprentice of the national doctor. You are just grateful to her. That is not a love between a man and a woman. It is the same if you marry Xu Xingluo. The Xu family can help you in business and even expand the territory of the imperial capital. Qiao Xi can't help you with this. She may even bring you a lot of trouble..."

"Xu Xingluo is severely depressed. If he succeeds in committing suicide for you, Xu Guangyao and Liu Huimin will definitely peel off a layer of skin from you."

"Xingzhou, you have to believe me! Daddy does everything for your own good and will never harm you!"

What Huo Jiancheng said makes sense.

It was as if there was a hole in Qiao Xi's heart, and cold wind blew in, freezing her flesh and blood.

Her eyes flickered, and she pushed back the moisture in them. She walked back quickly, holding the plate of fruit.

It turned out that the father-in-law still hadn't given up trying to persuade them to divorce.

In Huo Jiancheng's eyes, she was Huo Xingzhou's trouble.

From the time they met until now, Mr. Huo has been helping her solve the problems around her. He solved the Su family, helped her grandmother, solved the farce caused by the class reunion, solved the rumors in the hospital, and did so many things for her.

She is really useless and can't help him at all.

Qiao Xi went downstairs with the tray in her arms, feeling disappointed.

Du Ya asked in confusion, "Why wasn't it sent in?"

Qiao Xi quickly calmed down and said, "They seemed to be talking about something, and I was afraid of disturbing them."

"Then put it in the living room first. I don't know what serious things the father and son can talk about." Du Ya complained, your father-in-law has been going out a lot recently, acting mysterious. If I didn't know he didn't have the courage to cheat, I would have thought he had a mistress outside."

Qiao Xi forced a smile.

"Okay, I see you don't look well, take a shower and rest."

"Okay, mother-in-law."

If it were any other time, Qiao Xi would not have just left and left Du Ya alone in the living room. But she was too tired during the day and had something on her mind, so she left.

She walked upstairs in a daze, entered the master bedroom, and closed the door.

Qiao Xi sat down on the bed, feeling that all the bones in her body were loose. She wondered if the conversation in the study was over, and whether Mr. Huo would waver in his determination to be with her.

He is his biological father, so he must be a very important figure.

Qiao Xi reached out and opened the drawer at the head of the bed, inside which was the "Marriage Agreement" that they had signed at the beginning. The agreement stipulated that the longest term was three months, and once Party A's legs recovered, the agreement could be terminated at any time and the two could divorce.

Their relationship was never equal.

She got married to celebrate the occasion, but outsiders thought she was picking up the slack.

All her efforts would make others doubt whether Huo Xingzhou had done anything in them. She did not reject his kindness and let the name "Huo Xingzhou" be branded on her.

She took a deep breath.

Three months have passed, and Mr. Huo's legs have completely recovered. Logically, the agreement has come into effect, and they can divorce at any time.

But Mr. Huo and she tacitly agreed not to mention the agreement.

Qiao Xi didn't know if he was too busy with work to remember this, and she had never reminded him.

Can't bear to.

Can't let go.

Unreconciled.

Qiao Xi put the agreement back.

The door rang and a tall man walked in. He said in a hoarse voice, "Why aren't the lights on?"

The only light in the room was the street lights outside and the moonlight leaking in. It was dim but I could see vaguely.

"A little tired."

Qiao Xi adjusted her mood and said, "Have you finished talking with your father-in-law?"

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou turned on the crystal lamp, cast a cold gaze on Qiao Xi and asked, "Haven't you taken a shower yet?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

"Let's go together?" He said calmly and frankly.

The sadness in Qiao Xi's heart was messed up by him. She looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes: "I'm a little tired."

"So I help you."

Unlike before, he ignored her subtle refusal and forcefully carried her into the bathroom. He turned on the shower head, and warm water poured down, soaking the two of them.

Qiao Xi's clothes were sticking to her body, and she could vaguely see the scenery inside.

"Mr. Huo, I don't want tonight..." She put her hands on his chest and pushed him.

His eyes were filled with rejection.

"But I want it, I really want it, I must." He restrained her hands and pressed them above her head.

The man's wet kiss landed on her neck, "Qiao Xi, what are you feeling awkward about?"

"It's not awkward." She said unnaturally.

"You're lying."

He looked at her calmly, and with his other hand he unzipped her dress and pulled it all the way down. Qiao Xi screamed in surprise, but he bit her red lips, sucking all the oxygen out of her mouth like a punishment.

He kissed her until she was almost suffocated, then he slowly distanced himself from her.

Water drops dripped from his hair, and his wet eyelashes looked darker and more dangerous: "If you don't tell me, I will bully you to death."

Qiao Xi bit her lip, being extremely stubborn.

Huo Xingzhou slowly raised his eyelids, looked at her and said, "My old man is old, and he has always been cowardly and afraid to take responsibility. He always likes to worry about things that are not necessary. Don't take what he says to heart, and I won't take it to heart either."

"Mr. Huo, you..."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him, stunned.

Does he know what she's upset about?

He said slowly, "Mother said you were in a bad mood after sending the fruit tray upstairs."

The man was born to be extraordinary. The red mole on his neck was eye-catching. He had a cold personality but could see through people's hearts.

Qiao Xi looked at him, her eyes red with grievance.

"I apologize to you on his behalf. He said those things because he was confused. Xu Xingluo grew up under his watch, so he can't tell the difference between close and distant relatives. It's obvious that his daughter-in-law is closer, but he insisted on speaking to outsiders."

He scraped his fingers across the tip of her nose.

Moisture condensed in Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes, and tears rolled down.

"Mr. Huo." She cried out.

He is so nice.

So good that she won't let go for the rest of her life.

So good that I can't bear to see him get hurt at all, and I always hope that he can get the best things in the world.

He leaned over and kissed her eyelashes tenderly, leading Qiao Xi into the sea of ​​desire, teasing her up and down. When she was moved, she hugged his thin waist, her eyes were full of spring water, and she kissed him back eagerly.

But the man suddenly pulled away, his eyes and brows became a little colder, and his passion subsided.

Qiao Xi wanted to get close to him and kiss him, but was stopped by Huo Xingzhou.

Qiao Xi murmured softly and lingeringly, staring at him with puzzled eyes filled with passion, looking both pitiful and alluring.

Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "Don't worry, I still have a debt to settle with you."
