Chapter 446 Mr. Huo, your wife is here to check on you

Qiao Xi stretched out her hand, and drops of water dripped down her delicate skin.

She picked up her phone and looked through the messages. There were some messages of concern from colleagues and friends in the hospital. There were also three missed voice calls from Shu Xue, but her husband, who was pinned to the top, hadn't sent anything.

Qiao Xi felt a little disappointed, but she still called Shu Xue back.

Shu Xue quickly answered the phone, her voice was very cheerful: "Qiao Xi, did you get to the capital safely? You left so suddenly, there are some things I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Qiao Xibai poked the bubbles in the bathtub boredly and asked, "What do you want to tell me? Confess and I'll treat you leniently; resist and I'll treat you severely."

Shu Xue said with a smile, "Don't pretend. I don't believe that Zhou Yu knows everything, so how can you two not know? Qiao Xi, you already knew that I was going to join the medical aid team to Africa, right?"

Qiao Xi's lips curled up slightly: "Yeah."

"Thank you for not questioning me in person." Shu Xue had a lot of emotions in her heart. Her mood these days was as thrilling as riding a roller coaster.

The depression in her eyes disappeared: "Qiao Xi, I have decided to go to Africa. The hospital has approved my application, and you will be able to see the official list tomorrow. As a friend, I want to tell you in advance."

Qiao Xi left in a hurry, and not knowing the progress of her relationship with Zhou Yu, she asked worriedly.

"Then what about you and Zhou Yu? You broke up with him and now you're going abroad. Isn't this a breakup? He's experienced Xie Liuzheng's abandonment, so it must be hard for him to accept it."

Shu Xue covered her mouth and laughed a few times: "I also thought that we had come to an end. Unfortunately, my mother is so charming that he stuffed the household registration booklet into my hands while crying, saying that he would let me grow up freely. He will wait for me to come back to China, and then the choice will be mine."

She didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.

Qiao Xi's eyes flashed with surprise: "Did Young Master Zhou really do this?"

"Yes! Speaking of which, I have to thank you. He said that after seeing the beautiful marriage between you and Huo Xingzhou, he began to believe that there are really people in this world who can support each other and stay together for a lifetime."

After hearing her words, Qiao Xi felt much more relieved.

"Shuxue, be careful when you go abroad. I also hope that you can find the meaning of life. In fact, you have always been amazing in my heart."

Shu Xue's voice was a little choked up, "Qiao Xi, you will always be my best sister. You are really dangerous in the imperial capital. I will wait for you to trample all the people of the Lu family under your feet. I will wait for you to see you at the top!"

Qiao Xi replied: "Okay."

Shu Xue hung up the phone.

Qiao Xi felt a little sad, but was also happy that her sister could have the best of both worlds. She looked at Huo Xingzhou, whose phone was pinned to the top and motionless, and she couldn't bear the longing in her heart, so she made a voice call.

After thirty-six seconds on the screen, the voice was connected.

Qiao Xi heard a lot of noise over there, with the sound of glass dishes colliding and many people talking and laughing. Based on these judgments, Huo Xingzhou was not at home.

She even heard some extremely exaggerated teasing from the other side.

"Boss Huo, is your wife checking on you? She hasn't come home yet at this hour. Is she going to sleep in the study tonight?"

"Haha, Mr. Huo's wife is not like the tigress in your family. She is a disciple of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She is gentle and considerate. At most, she misses our Mr. Huo."

Huo Xingzhou's deep voice rang out: "Excuse me, I have to go out and answer a phone call."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caused another round of good-natured laughter.

Qiao Xi heard that the noise from the other side was getting less and less, and the man seemed to have walked to a quiet place. Tonight, his voice was somewhat magnetic, and it came through the phone, even sexier than before.

"Qiao Xi."

He called out the name in a gentle voice.

Qiao Xi just felt as if her ears were electrified and stimulated.

She unconsciously lowered her voice: "I'm here."

Huo Xingzhou's breathing was slightly heavy. He untied his tie and wrapped it around his hands. The dark blue striped tie made his fingers look even longer and whiter. He walked out of the private room of Fuchun Garden and lazily leaned against the archway and spoke.

"Did anyone give you any trouble when you arrived in the imperial capital?" Based on his understanding of those people, it would be even more dangerous if he didn't do something.

Qiao Xi's skin was slightly red from the water in the bathtub. She spoke in a soft voice, "It's just a little trick. I can handle it. They hired people to commit fraud. They were all scoundrels who didn't know the law. They were quickly repelled."

He seemed to let out a low laugh, and then said, "The little doctor is really amazing."

Qiao Xi's ears were burning.

She licked her dry lips and said softly, "If you were here, you would be able to handle it better. I also understand your intention of arranging Sun Shao to be by my side. He is indeed very powerful in some aspects."

Sometimes Sun Shao can let go of his pride and go crazy, taking people by surprise.

"He is best at doing shameless things. With him around, sometimes it is better than Xu Yunye. The Xu brothers are too serious. If you confront them head-on, you will suffer losses."

Qiao Xi listened to his words and agreed with them deeply.

Indeed.

Sun Shao looks unreliable, but he is very protective of his people.

Speaking of Sun Weimeng, Qiao Xi thought of another thing.

She bit her lip, her tone carrying some hidden questions: "Young Master Sun said that you coaxed him to come to the capital. You said that the beauties in the capital are different from the beauties in Haicheng, and asked him to come and experience it. How do you know they are different? Have you experienced it?"

There was a hint of jealousy in these words.

Huo Xingzhou held the phone, his mouth curled up a little: "There are always differences between the north and the south."

"You are being perfunctory. So what do you think are the differences between beauties in the north and south? Also, I just heard a woman's voice on your phone. Did you stay out all night after I left?"

Qiao Xi knew that he was not that kind of person, but she still felt jealous.

The fun of a couple lies in the little things in daily life, and listening to his affectionate and low voice is also a kind of enjoyment.

She really missed him, in every way.

"I'm entertaining people at Fuchun Garden tonight. Jin Kai and Zhou Yu are both here. You can call them and ask them about it. As for the differences between North and South Americans, I don't know the details. You can also wait for Sun Weimeng to experience it before he tells you."

Qiao Xi asked: "Then what do you know?"

His tone was doting and his voice was pleasant: "I know... my wife is different from other women."

Qiao Xi tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, and when she realized he was not around, she smiled silently.

Her back was pressed against the cold, hard bathtub, which hurt a little, so she couldn't help but change her position, and the water made a splash.

The man on the other end of the phone heard it clearly and asked, "Where are you?"

Qiao Xi said softly, "I'm taking a bath."

The man's voice was mixed with a hint of laughter, and he repeated it as if hiding something: "Taking a bath?"

The voice call was disconnected.

Qiao Xi also wondered if the signal was bad.

Soon a video call request popped up on the phone screen.
