Chapter 618 You cried for him last night

Qiao Xi pulled out a contract with some scribbled words on the back.

It looked like a draft that the two of them had discussed, not a formal contract. It briefly wrote down some opinions on the terms of the contract, with Huo Xingzhou's handwriting and another unfamiliar handwriting.

She could naturally recognize Huo Xingzhou's handwriting, and even her recent handwriting was somewhat similar to his.

As for the other unfamiliar font, it should be the one written by Zhong Yi.

Qiao Xi carefully read a few lines of the contract, looking at the strokes in detail, but she couldn't see any clues.

I heard that some people's handwriting appears to have changed, but in fact the strength used in the writing remains the same, and you can judge from these details.

It seems that we need to find a professional to appraise it.

Qiao Xi took out her phone and took some photos, planning to find a professional to appraise them. The Liu family was in this field, so she hesitated for a while and sent the photos to Xu Xiuyuan, asking him to help find someone to appraise them.

Two sets of photos of the medical book and the contract were sent one after another, and they were reminded that they must not be leaked.

Xu Xiuyuan was very happy. He envied Xu Yunye for being able to help Qiao Xi with the source of Chinese medicinal materials, but he, as the eldest in the family, could not help. The elders all looked down on him.

Now that Qiao Xi was actually able to take the initiative to ask him for help, he felt quite excited.

The two sets of photos were immediately sent to the most professional handwriting authentication master of the Liu family for authentication. Those masters were all experienced in authenticating antique calligraphy and paintings, so this was just a piece of cake for them.

Qiao Xi pressed the button on her cell phone, and the screen went black, reflecting her face.

call.

She exhaled slowly, sorted out all the contracts and put them back in the drawer of the desk.

There were footsteps in the corridor, getting closer and closer.

Qiao Xi turned around and saw that the study door was pushed open, and Lao Chen and Huo Xingzhou were walking in. They were both surprised to see her in the study.

Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him, her throat slightly tight: "Why did you come back this afternoon?"

"I came back after I almost finished my work." Huo Xingzhou walked to her side and asked, "What were you doing in the study? Didn't you go to rest?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, her fingers clenched but she touched the medical book and said, "I'm here to find a book."

She didn't want to tell the real reason.

Because she felt that Huo Xingzhou was hiding something from her, and that secret might be about Zhong Yi's identity.

She seemed to be getting close to the truth.

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou responded in a low voice, "Old Chen, please go out first. I will investigate the matter I asked you to do. Don't let anyone know until the truth is revealed."

Old Chen glanced at Qiao Xi, then said, "Okay."

The young master was probably afraid that the young lady would worry, so he didn't say it when he saw her here. If he mentioned Mr. Cheng... the young lady would definitely not be so calm.

"Master, I'll be out first. Tell me if you have anything else to say."

Old Chen walked out of the study and closed the door behind him.

The study suddenly became quiet. The wind blew the thin curtains, and the light that came in swayed a few times.

The light and shadow cast on the side of Huo Xingzhou's nose made it look more three-dimensional.

He was silent for a moment before he said, "This morning... I lost control." He took out a tube of ointment from his suit pocket and handed it to her.

It's just the right ointment for the condition.

Qiao Xi's throat was dry and her cheeks were a little red.

"I...it's not serious, no ointment is needed. Just rest for a few days..."

Huo Xingzhou did not force her to accept it, but just said: "I will apply the medicine for you tonight."

Qiao Xi felt like she was in a sea of ​​fire, boiling hot.

She quickly took the ointment and said, "I'll do it myself."

Huo Xingzhou took two steps closer, stretched out his hands to hold her waist and said, "Qiao Xi, you were drunk and crazy last night. You used to be very well-behaved when you were drunk, and you were still cute even when you were drunk and crazy. But you cried so hard last night."

"You..." Qiao Xi raised her head and looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes, "Didn't you say that I fell asleep last night and didn't do anything?"

"Because I didn't want to talk about it in the morning, I calmed down during the day."

Qiao Xi looked at him and asked, "Then why did I cry last night?"

Qiao Xi racked her brains but couldn't imagine those scenes, but looking at Huo Xingzhou's expression and tone, she could guess that her drunken words must have irritated this man.

He lowered his head, and looked at her deeply with his eyes, as if he wanted to see her true self.

He stroked her cheek gently with his fingertips and said, "You cried and called for grandma last night, saying that you missed her. Then you said you missed Yi. You can't let go of these two people...."

He was jealous of Zhong Yi.

Because he knew best that her "Ayi" was still alive.

Perhaps it was the provocative words that Zhong Yi said that made him feel a sense of crisis, which he could not ignore subconsciously.

As soon as Qiao Xi heard the word Ayi, she understood why Huo Xingzhou had such a big reaction.

She might not just call out "Ayi's" name, she must have said something else.

"Feel sorry."

Qiao Xi bit her lip. She was distracted by the details she found at the engagement party. That's why she drank so much. She had promised Huo Xingzhou that she would drink less.

She broke her promise.

"I'm sorry, I will try not to drink alcohol outside in the future, and I won't drink alcoholic beverages anymore." Qiao Xi felt guilty.

Huo Xingzhou rubbed her head and said, "I don't mean to blame you. I just couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I should also say sorry to you for what happened this morning."

Qiao Xi shook her head and said, "I still have to explain to you again. I have always felt guilty towards Ayi. He is my best friend and I really can't forget him. If you want me to have no trace of him in my heart at all, it is impossible. I am attached to many people, but I only love you."

She only gave her love to Huo Xingzhou.

Huo Xingzhou whispered, "I believe you, but men's jealousy is so unreasonable."

"So you get jealous, too."

She had a faint smile on her face, and thought he was always calm and confident in everything he did.

"I am also a human being, with emotions and desires." Huo Xingzhou's fingertips gently stroked her waist. "The beauty salon is about to open, do you need any help?"

Speaking of the beauty salon, Qiao Xi raised her head and said, "Sun Shao and Jiao Jiao have done a great job on the beauty salon. Everything is ready. All that's left is the final finishing touches, and then we can pick an auspicious day to open it."

"Well, I'll go and show my support at the opening."

Huo Xingzhou said in a gentle tone.

Qiao Xi nodded: "I will definitely arrange a ribbon-cutting ceremony for you when the time comes. We..."

Before she finished her words, she felt Huo Xingzhou's cell phone vibrating.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "You go ahead and do your work. We can talk about anything later. I'll go downstairs to see if Jiaojiao has come back. She's been out for most of the day."

Huo Xingzhou took out his cell phone and saw the number displayed on the screen. His eyes flickered and he nodded.

He didn't answer the phone until Qiao Xi left the study.
