Chapter 313: Working like a slave day and night

Qiao Xi didn't understand what was going on, but the man's hands had already covered her eyes.

It was dark in front of her eyes, and she blinked her eyelashes, scratching his palm.

Itchy.

Qiao Xi opened her plump and rosy red lips and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The man said in a low, coaxing voice: "As long as you silently recite three numbers in your heart, the thing you want most at this moment will appear in front of you."

If it were someone else, it would seem like nonsense.

But Qiao Xi really liked it.

She naively believed that Huo Xingzhou was her Aladdin's lamp.

Even though it seemed illogical, she opened her lips slightly and began to read: "3!"

“2!”

“1!”

Her fingers were numb from nervousness and her heart was beating out of rhythm.

The hand covering her eyes gradually moved away, and her vision became blurred, and was pierced by the light in the room for a moment. Then it slowly became clear.

The wooden box that was originally placed on the side of the desk in front of me has been opened.

Inside was a dusty bronze acupuncture figurine from the Qing Dynasty and an ancient book titled "Illustrated Guide to Acupuncture Points in the Bronze Figurine".

Qiao Xi's round almond eyes were filled with joy, she was extremely happy!

Her snow-white face was tinged with a bright glow, and her voice trembled slightly: "How...how come this is in your hand!"

This is the bronze acupuncture figurine and medical book at the auction!

Something she missed!

Qiao Xi has repeatedly convinced herself not to regret it and not to care too much!

But she knew very well how regrettable it would be for her to miss out on these two things!

She spoke incoherently: "You really are a god! As long as I make a wish silently in my heart, you can make my wish come true!"

"Box One is you, isn't it?"

Her eyes are bright and shining like stars.

Huo Xingzhou held her waist, their bodies pressed tightly together, "Who else do you want it to be?"

Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very clear. "I just didn't expect that you didn't tell me you were coming. I even passed by Box No. 1 to see who took the photo. I didn't expect that..."

This surprise is really unexpected!

Qiao Xi really didn't know what to say, and finally hugged his neck.

I gave him a big kiss on his handsome face!

The man tapped his other cheek calmly: "Here."

Qiao Xi kissed him again.

The corners of her mouth curled up and she looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, husband."

"I spent five million to buy this thing, so I can't thank you enough with words. Think about how you're going to thank me."

Speaking of five million, Qiao Xi felt a little distressed.

Qiao Xi felt a little regretful: "They offered 3.5 million, why did you ask for 5 million? Even 4 million would be fine." She could save the extra money and do something else.

Huo Xingzhou bent down, put his side face against her cheek and said, "The enemy is anxious, but I am slow. I will win with ease and hit the target with one strike. If I raise the price slowly, they will still be able to follow. If I find out their psychological price and raise the auction price all at once, they will easily give up."

Qiao Xi reached out her hand and touched the ancient bronze acupuncture figurine with care, and sighed, "This thing actually costs five million. I can't pay it back even if I sell myself."

"It's worth it."

He responded, "If one time doesn't work, then try twice. If two times doesn't work, then try day and night."

Qiao Xi understood what he meant, her pretty face flushed, and she glared at him with a little annoyance.

Huo Xingzhou seemed to know what she was thinking. His cold eyes seemed to melt the ice and snow. "Don't worry too much about money. Since I married you, my things are yours. Even if you squander every day, you can't spend all the money I earn."

He was well aware of Qiao Xi's frugality and that she had lived a hard life since childhood.

And that exceptionally strong self-esteem.

Some women would try their best to make some money, but she, after getting married, still had to write him an IOU.

Qiao Xi's sweet voice rang out: "So you still want to sell your body day and night?"

The man smiled faintly: "I've been working like a slave for you day and night."

"Nonsense."

She understood what he meant instantly.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind: "No, I remember that during the auction, Box 1 also auctioned something else! The last piece..."

The man opened a blue peacock-colored velvet box. The dazzling sapphires sparkled under the light, complementing the inlaid pear-shaped diamonds.

It's Josephine's sapphire wedding ring!

The ring that was sold for 8.8 million at the auction!

This is the token of love between Emperor Napoleon and Empress Josephine.

“So beautiful.”

Few women could resist such jewelry, and Qiao Xi was no exception.

The man's aura was gentle and calm, with a surge of affection in his eyes: "I still owe you a wedding, so I'll make up for it by giving you the wedding ring first."

Qiao Xi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly, "Actually, I don't care about those forms."

She is a person who is easily satisfied.

"I care."

Huo Xingzhou knew that many people said behind his back that the young lady of the Huo family was in name only. She was just a bride for a wedding, and they didn't divorce because Qiao Xi saved his life, so he just gave her some dignity.

They need a grand wedding to shut those people up.

He cared about the malicious slander those people had against her.

Qiao Xi felt warm and comfortable in her heart, looking at the man with sharp features and smooth lines in front of her. The bitterness and sweetness in her heart were about to overflow!

"How about holding the wedding later?"

Qiao Xi said bluntly, "I also want to be the best person and stand by your side."

Her dream is to become a traditional Chinese medicine doctor!

She wants to be on top!

This test session is very dangerous, but she doesn't want to give up!

Only by winning the first prize of this grand ceremony and pulling Lu Yingxue down from the altar, can she gain a firm foothold in the field of traditional Chinese medicine!

Only then will they be qualified to challenge the power that Lubanong has spent decades consolidating!

Only then could she stand in front of them and ask them why they wanted to kill her grandmother!

Get some interest back from them!

Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes to hide his gloom: "Okay, don't hide anything from me. Do you have anything else to say?"

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head.

She wanted to wait until the dust settled after the primary election in Haicheng before telling him, in case there were any mistakes in the early stage and her words would not count.

She reached out and pressed on the blue ring box, and with a click the blue peacock-colored box was closed.

"I want you to put this ring on my finger in person at the wedding." She wanted to save the sweetest moment for later, "Honey, is that okay?"

It's time to act coquettishly at this time.

Huo Xingzhou recalled the clues he had found during his investigation and realized that he had no way to deal with her.

"good."

She looks gentle and weak, but she is extremely stubborn and opinionated.

Huo Xingzhou couldn't bear to embarrass her.

"It's so nice to meet you."

Qiao Xi hugged his neck tightly, moved her body, looked at him coquettishly and spoke.

Warm and soft jade in my arms.

Her sudden action made Huo Xingzhou somewhat out of control.

She changed into a short-sleeved silk nightgown after returning from the auction, and her smooth skin rubbed against his suit pants unconsciously.

His breathing became slightly longer from calm, and his finger knuckles tightly pinched her waist with a bit of forbearance.

"Qiao Xi, go down a little."
