Chapter 206: Don’t Say Divorce Easily
Huo Xingzhou's thin lips were red, and there was still a surge of emotion in his eyes.
He said calmly: "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."
Qiao Xi had used up all her strength to say that sentence. She pushed away Huo Xingzhou's arms and swam towards the shore.
Huo Xingzhou grabbed her ankle with his powerful hands and pulled her back. During the entanglement, he raised his hands to hold the back of her head and forced her to look into his eyes.
He felt a chill in his heart, and the suppressed anger rose to the top of his head.
But he always maintained his composure.
"Qiao Xi, I taught you to swim not so that you can escape from me one day." He stared into her eyes and spoke word by word.
There was moisture in Qiao Xi's eyes, but she looked at him more stubbornly, without saying a word.
He leaned closer, his thin lips moving along her cheeks: "I know that your grandmother's death has hit you hard, and I understand why you said something you didn't think of at the time. But don't mention the word divorce."
Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly, feeling a sour taste in her throat.
She let him kiss her, let him carry her ashore, and send her back to the room to wash up.
Back to the master bedroom.
Huo Xingzhou thought she was just being angry and forgave her for her slip of the tongue.
As long as she gets through this difficult time, she will be back to her former self.
When he was about to change her pajamas, Qiao Xi sat on the bed and grabbed his wrist, saying in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Huo, I think it through."
Her voice was still hoarse: "This marriage was a transaction from the beginning."
She took out the "Marriage Agreement" from the bedside table and placed it in front of him: "I will treat your legs for three months. Now three months have passed, and this agreement has come into effect."
Her pretty face showed a firm expression: "Now, we have reached the stage of divorce by agreement."
"The clinic burned down, and I don't plan to reopen it. Many people asked me to come to their homes to treat their illnesses, but I didn't agree. During this period of time, I will go out to see patients and pay off the debt I owe you. Please give me some time."
She kept calling me "you" and "debt".
It is clear from him.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were red as he looked at the "Marriage Agreement" and felt a little regretful for signing it. At the same time, he also blamed her for being so ruthless.
I don't know why, but after she became disheartened, she wanted to settle accounts with him as well.
He thought that Qiao Xi's silence during this period was because she was angry that he didn't answer her call that night, because she was too sad about her grandmother's death, and because she was angry that his identity caused her to get into trouble with Xiang Huai and Xu Xingluo.
I was competing with him silently, but I didn't expect that we would gradually become distant.
She decided everything quietly and then filed for divorce from him.
"Qiao Xi, so now... in your mind, we are the relationship of creditor and debtor?" he asked with extremely cold eyes.
Qiao Xi's heart was tugged at by countless emotions, and her lips turned pale as she said, "Yes."
Huo Xingzhou was so angry that he almost laughed.
But he couldn't bear to be angry with her, and was even more afraid of hurting her feelings with his words.
He was angry with himself.
"you……"
He was about to speak when his cell phone, which had been placed aside, started buzzing, as annoying as a fly.
He walked over to pick up the phone and said in an unhappy tone, "Hello, what's going on?"
The call was from Zhou Yu, who chattered for a long time. Qiao Xi sat on the bed, her heart in her throat. In fact, she was also a little flustered and nervous, afraid that she would be severely punished if she said those words.
She stole a glance at his expression from the corner of her eyes, his cold and pale face was almost devoid of warmth.
He said to the other end of the phone in a very unfriendly tone: "Come right away."
He hung up the phone, looked at Qiao Xi and said with anger: "Have a good sleep at home. I will pretend you never mentioned the divorce."
It was not easy for him to endure such insults as he was so proud.
Huo Xingzhou picked up his coat and walked out of the room, closing the door deliberately gently.
Qiao Xi lay on the bed, listening to the noise outside.
She naturally didn't think he was going to look for Xu Xingluo, she knew very well that the whole night was an accident. But Qiao Xi couldn't swallow such an accident, there was always a thorn in her heart.
She was also controlled by Huo Jiancheng's marriage contract, and was reluctant to let half of Huo Xingzhou's empire be taken away by others.
She had seen him shine brightly, handling the business world with ease and high spirits, so how could she bear to see this star dim?
The sound of an engine was heard at the door of the villa.
Soon, the car drove away.
The villa was quiet again. She lay on the bed, the fresh smell was faint but could not be ignored. She fell into a deep sleep with the bed as her pillow, and slowly closed her eyes.
…
The night is like water.
The Rolls-Royce with a conspicuous license plate drove towards the Fuchun Garden luxury club. Old Chen saw the cold expression of his young master in the rearview mirror and shuddered.
This is really angry.
I don't know who made the young master unhappy.
He stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed a little bit.
Finally, the car stopped at Fuchun Garden Club at 8:15 in the evening.
Lao Chen drove the car into the parking lot and said, "Young Master, please wait for me. I..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Huo Xingzhou open the car door and walk quickly towards the underground elevator entrance.
Fuchun Garden is a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River. It is exquisite and unique. It is the top club in Haicheng. The guests who come here for entertainment are either rich or noble. This place is elegant and tasteful, and looks very classy.
Huo Xingzhou walked into the club in a suit with a stern and handsome face.
The guests sitting in the lobby looked at him in surprise.
Compared to other young masters, Huo Xingzhou rarely comes to the club. He either discusses business or talks about serious matters with Zhou Yu. He rarely shows up alone.
The club manager observed his expression carefully. Young Master Huo's expression was not right, and his momentum was like that of an evil spirit.
Did their club do something to offend him?
"Huo...Second Master Huo, you are..."
"No appointment, look for Zhou Yu."
Huo Xingzhou's face was as cold as jade, and his tone of voice was also cold.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu appeared. He ran down the second floor stairs, looked at Huo Xingzhou and said, "You are finally here. That turtle son is drinking in the 820 box, and there are many bad friends in there."
He looked behind Huo Xingzhou and asked, "Isn't Lao Chen here? How about I find a few more people temporarily?"
"He stopped the car."
"Oh, then I'm relieved. I was afraid that those bastards would not show any mercy to you. You know they lose their rationality when they are drunk. They don't care about your status when they are hot-blooded. They will just have their fun first."
Zhou Yu looked at him and kindly reminded him.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "I cherish my life very much."
He had been to Yanwang Palace, and it was Qiao Xi who cured his legs with acupuncture and massage.
He wouldn't risk his life for anything unless it was for Qiao Xi.
Zhou Yu blinked his eyes, and when he saw Lao Chen appear at the door of the club, he said with interest in his eyes: "Then let's... hurry up and get excited!"
He has been waiting for a long time.
I'm getting a little impatient.
Finally, we can take care of those bastards.
