Chapter 467 He has one more Qiao Xi than Zhong Yi

The old man of the Guan family looked into the distance and exclaimed, "What a great young man. He has both courage and ability. No wonder he was able to make a name for himself in Haicheng. Now the imperial capital will also be in turmoil."

Guan Jingtan pursed her lips and smiled: "He is also good-looking, comparable to that young master Zhong who emerged as a foreign talent a few years ago."

“It’s better than that.”

Mr. Guan made this comment with his hands behind his back and his body straight.

Guan Jingtan asked, "How is Mr. Huo better than Mr. Zhong?"

Those guests who had not yet left also wanted to know how Mr. Huo from Haicheng was better than Mr. Zhong from the imperial capital.

Although Zhong Yi is an illegitimate child, his abilities and methods have been obvious to all in recent years.

In addition, since Young Master Zhong has a special physique, Old Lady Zhong seems to prefer Zhong Yi.

Maybe in a few months, I will be able to take the position of heir to the Zhong family.

Huo Xingzhou is very powerful in Haicheng, but how can his overall strength be better than Zhong Yi?

Master Guan smiled faintly on his old face: "He is better off because he has Qiao Xi. Marrying a good wife brings prosperity to three generations."

He turned around and walked into the palace with a smile.

The others looked at each other.

It turns out that Master Zhong lost because of being single!

However, Mrs. Huo is indeed not bad. She is not surprised by insults and is also a disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han.

I just don’t know how good her medical skills are. No matter how good she is, she can’t compare to Lu Yingxue!

Suddenly someone remembered that the Lu family and the Zhong family had an engagement!

If Lu Yingxue crushes Qiao Xi, won't she be better than Huo Xingzhou after Master Zhong gets married?

"Lu Yingxue is much better than Qiao Xi!"

"Indeed, I think Zhong Shaosheng won!"

There were quite a few supporters of Lu Yingxue among the guests who were whispering.

Li Nianqi stood in the corner, the man's handsome face flashed through her mind repeatedly. His decisive approach to dealing with the overbearing and bullying Lu Yan made her heart beat faster.

He was indifferent to everyone else but gentle to Qiao Xi.

This special treatment makes people yearn for it!

But why did it have to be that annoying Qiao Xi again!

Li Nianqi was indignant and spoke angrily when she heard the guests' comments: "Qiao Xi is just a girl from the countryside. How can she compare to Lu Yingxue, who was raised by the Lu family! Besides, we have never seen her medical skills!"

Hearing this, Guan Jingtan turned around and saw Li Nianqi, who had a pretty face but was dressed exquisitely.

She smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Li, Qiao Xi is the first in the preliminary selection of this year's needle test conference. How can you say that you have never seen her medical skills?"

Li Nianqi met Guan Jingtan's gaze and retorted, "That was all helped by others! Lu Yingxue was the champion of the needle testing competition ten years ago! She got it by her own efforts!"

Guan Jingtan and Qiao Xi were both people she disliked.

My grandmother once said that the Guan family had a daughter who was as virtuous as a country and as intelligent as a city, so she should learn more.

As expected, all the annoying people are playing together.

Guan Jingtan said slowly, "I remember your grandmother suffered in Haicheng, and it was the Liu family who saved her. Why don't you remember the old friendship with the Liu family at all, and still have complaints against Qiao Xi?"

There was a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little cold.

She admired Qiao Xi very much and would not allow anyone to slander her savior.

"You...I...of course it's her fault!"

Li Nianqi had no confidence and left angrily, fearing that if she stayed, something bad might happen.

Guan Jingtan looked at her back and curled his lips. She was clearly a brainless ungrateful person!

…

The imperial capital is shrouded in moonlight.

The neon lights on the street dispel the darkness.

The Rolls-Royce drove into the small garden villa in the wealthy area. The maid Xiaoyuan had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the owner to come back to eat.

Lao Chen opened the car door.

Qiao Xi was carried out of the car by Huo Xingzhou. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were glued to him, and she could not get enough of looking at him.

Although we had only been apart for a few days, I really felt the old saying, "When you haven't seen each other for a day, it feels like three years."

Xiao Yuan walked forward with a smile: "Master, Madam. I prepared some easy-to-digest dinner, in case you didn't eat enough at the banquet."

Huo Xingzhou took off his coat and handed it to her, saying, "I had my meal on the plane, so I don't really need it."

Qiao Xi said cheerfully: "Thank you, Xiaoyuan. I also ate it at the banquet."

Just now, Sun Weimeng and I were just spectators, and he stuffed us with a lot of snacks. Now my stomach is a little full.

The snacks made by Chef Gong Tingyu are delicious.

"I'm hungry!"

Lao Chen raised his hand actively, "I did some hard labor tonight and I'm very hungry. Xiaoyuan, what's good to eat tonight? I want a big bowl of braised pork!"

Xiao Yuan squinted her eyes and smiled: "Uncle Chen, what did you do tonight?"

"Hit someone!"

Lao Chen clenched his fist and gestured.

Xiaoyuan was almost scared and quickly ran into the kitchen to make him a big bowl of braised pork.

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou smiled at each other, their eyes full of lingering affection as if drawing a thread, and they both chose to go upstairs in tacit understanding.

As for where Sun Shao’s car went and whether he got lost.

No one seems to care.

In the quiet corridor on the second floor.

Qiao Xi hugged Huo Xingzhou's neck tightly, her head resting on his chest. She could smell the faint cold fragrance on his body with the tip of her nose, and she could feel the fragrance entering her whole body through the air with every breath.

She also caught his scent.

No one spoke.

When we got to the master bedroom.

Huo Xingzhou turned on the light and put her on the bed.

Then I went to the cupboard to find some medicated oil for bruises and sprains, preparing to give her an ankle massage.

Qiao Xi originally wanted to say that she could handle it, but when she saw him busying around for her, she swallowed back her words in an instant.

She liked the way Huo Xingzhou's eyes were full of her.

Huo Xingzhou found a bottle of medicinal oil in the cupboard, walked over to her and unscrewed the bottle cap: "It might be a little painful."

"I'm not afraid of pain."

Qiao Xi looked at him and said, I can never see enough of him.

Huo Xingzhou untied the straps of her high heels and took off her shoes.

Then pour the medicated oil into the palm of your hand, rub it gently to warm it up, cover it on your white ankles, and rub it slowly.

The room is quiet and full of warmth.

Qiao Xi sat on the soft mattress, looking at him right in front of her, feeling very satisfied.

She asked, "Have you finished your work in Haicheng?"

"Well, I'm done."

"So will you stay with me in the capital?"

"right."

Huo Xingzhou kneaded her ankle vigorously and asked, "How does it feel?"

Qiao Xi nodded: "It doesn't hurt anymore. The injury wasn't serious to begin with."

Huo Xingzhou looked at her and said, "Get up and walk around."

Qiao Xi stretched out her feet and stepped on the carpet, took a few steps lightly and said, "Your massage technique is really good."

"That's because you taught me well."

Huo Xingzhou put the medicine oil aside and wiped off the remaining medicine with a wet towel. Standing in the room and looking at her, the flowing gauze skirt swayed as she walked, revealing her fair and straight calves from time to time.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened.

He walked quickly forward and suddenly held her in his arms.

Qiao Xi screamed in surprise. Her whole body was held tightly by him, with her back pressed against the wall.

There is no escape.

The light in the room was dim, with some light coming in from outside.

Qiao Xi blinked her long eyelashes and asked in a very soft voice: "What are you doing?"

As soon as she spoke, it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Huo Xingzhou's tall figure loomed over her, and he lowered his head slightly. His stern face came close to her, and the tip of his nose almost touched her straight nose.

His voice was a little hoarse: "Do you miss me?"
