Chapter 355 Qiao Xi, I am your husband
It’s Zhong Yi and Xiang Mingzhu!
Xiang Mingzhu looked aggrieved, with tears in her eyes. She looked at the mysterious nobleman from the imperial capital with her beautiful eyes, wanting to say something but not being able to.
Qiao Xi's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand.
"hiss."
She took a breath of cool air, and looked at the steady and self-controlled man with her eyes flushed naturally.
Huo Xingzhou was holding an alcohol swab in his hand, his handsome face looked very cold.
He lowered his head, blew gently on the tiny scar on the back of her hand with his thin lips and said, "Does it still hurt?"
Qiao Xi shook her head.
She glanced outside and saw Xiang Mingzhu getting into Zhong Shao's Kulinan.
The beauty is crying, and as her admirer, Mr. Zhong should try to comfort her to some extent. He doesn't know whether tonight is a date or a romantic night.
Qiao Xi felt a slight resentment in her heart, perhaps because that face looked too much like Ayi.
So much so that he did these things, which made her feel dissatisfied.
She shouldn't be affected like this!
Huo Xingzhou's voice became even colder: "Haven't you seen enough? Isn't it enough to have me?"
He didn't like her being distracted by another man.
Qiao Xi leaned in and looked at his dark face and said, "Are you jealous again? Recently, Aunt Qian has never lacked vinegar for cooking. It is produced exclusively for the Huo family."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with dark colors, but his face remained calm: "Don't act coquettishly, I won't fall for it."
Qiao Xi threw herself into his arms and said softly, "I just care about the relationship between Master Zhong and Xiang Mingzhu. I'm afraid they might be plotting against me behind my back. That's why I looked at him twice more!"
She raised her eyes and looked at him deeply: "I have seen it carefully! That young master Zhong's temper is not as good as our President Huo, and his appearance is not as good as President Huo! Even his feelings are a mess, how can he compare to President Huo's loyalty and affection! I already have the best man, how can I see the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside."
"Who knows what you are thinking?"
Huo Xingzhou gently pushed her away and leaned back on the leather cushion, relaxing his body.
He folded his arms, with a look of boundless arrogance and arrogance on his face.
Qiao Xi noticed that he was not angry. She tried to suppress the corners of her mouth that were raised and said, "When I was in the competition, Shen Xuanzhi helped me. I thought he was a good person, but when he left, he told me that he took money from others to help them eliminate disasters. Tell me, who did he take the money from?"
Her heart was filled with joy.
I guessed the truth a long time ago.
I hope to hear it from the man in front of me.
Huo Xingzhou turned his head, glanced at her lightly and said, "What do you think?"
"I think... it's you."
Her eyes were bright, with a hint of smile in them. She looked at him and said seriously, "Who else could it be besides you? This is Haicheng, who could attack me right under your nose?"
Huo Xingzhou let out a chuckle from his throat. He reached out and pinched her nose, then looked at her smug look and said.
"The Shen family is not short of money, and I happen to have a lot of money. Bribing Shen Xuanzhi to help you was just an accident. If Xiang Mingzhu and the others were willing to compete fairly, then Shen Xuanzhi would not have made a move."
Qiao Xi took over the conversation: "So Shen Xuanzhi is a chess piece you put down. Li Songwen helped Xiang Mingzhu, and he helped me. Have you studied the rules of the Needle Testing Conference a long time ago?"
Huo Xingzhou threw the alcohol cotton swab aside, took the ointment and rubbed it on a small scar on the back of her hand, saying, "As a husband, I have to consider this matter carefully for you."
"How do you know Shen Xuanzhi will agree to you?"
Huo Xingzhou said quietly, "He is short of money and hates the Lu family. Also... when he was in the countryside, Mr. Cheng said that he and Shen Xuanzhi's grandfather were very good friends, but now there are only orphans and widows left in the Shen family."
He guessed that there must be some hidden story, and the decline of the Shen family was closely related to the Lu family.
“My husband is so smart!”
Qiao Xi smiled brightly, "You have helped me a lot! Without Shen Xuanzhi, I would have lost. I would be the one standing on the platform to be humiliated, and Master Cheng would also be scolded."
Huo Xingzhou held her slender fingers and said, "Qiao Xi, I know this better than anyone else. You don't want to lose, and you can't lose. So, I will do everything I can to prevent you from losing."
Qiao Xi looked at him deeply, hugged his neck and kissed his thin lips.
…
In the night.
A Kulinam is driving very fast.
Xiang Mingzhu's tears fell like pearls. She cried very skillfully, which made people feel heartbroken.
"Master Zhong, if the news gets to the imperial capital, I will definitely be scolded by my uncle."
The man sitting half a meter away from her took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Wipe your tears. I can't bear to see a woman cry."
This sounded like a playboy, and even Wan Jiang in the front row couldn't help but twitch his lips. How could their chaste young master Zhong be so good at teasing women?
A man's mouth is a lie.
Xiang Mingzhu took the tissue, wiped her tears gently and said, "Master Zhong, what do you think I should do?"
Young Master Zhong bent his legs casually and said, "You were the one who provoked the bet first, and then made the bet known to everyone. Now that you have lost, you can only admit that you are inferior to others. Anyone with eyes knows how powerful the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Needles is, and the Cheng family has been in decline for many years. Those few words you said will not shake the status of the Lu family."
His pupils were deep, and he looked at her and said, "As long as you beat everyone in the finals, even Lu Yingxue, then the rumors will be broken, right? Mingzhu, don't you agree?"
He called her "Pearl".
The sound is as clear as a spring flowing from a rock.
Xiang Mingzhu only liked his appearance and family background at first, but after a few contacts, she was really moved. How could she resist such a charming man!
No wonder the otherworldly and fairy-like Lu Yingxue also likes him.
Xiang Mingzhu nodded slowly: "You are right, I still have a chance. I always feel something is wrong. Why would Shen Xuanzhi help Qiao Xi? She was almost finished."
She frowned, very unwilling.
It's just one step away.
A hint of cold smile flashed across Zhong Yi's eyes. "If you can convince Li Songwen to help you, she can certainly get Shen Xuanzhi to help her. Rules are made for people to follow and use."
Xiang Mingzhu held her breath in her heart, "I was careless! I didn't expect that after the bet became a big deal in the forum, there would be people who would help Qiao Xi! The preliminary selection of the Needle Test Conference was not strict. When the finals are held in the imperial capital, this kind of situation will definitely not happen."
"Um."
Zhong Yi's gaze fell to the window and he responded nonchalantly.
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes moved and looked at him again and again.
The car stopped at the door of the hotel where Xiang Mingzhu was staying. She stretched out her fingers and gently tugged at Zhong Yi's sleeve, her charming face showing a hint of smile and temptation.
"Mr. Zhong, would you like to go upstairs and have a cup of coffee? I am very good at making coffee."
