Chapter 761 Do you prefer excitement?
Qiao Xi only said one sentence to Shen Xuanzhi: Be careful on the road.
Then she walked towards the black luxury car outside the Chinese Medicine Association, her steps unconsciously brisk and eager.
When I walked up to the man.
She slowed down her tone and asked, "Why are you here?"
Huo Xingzhou in front of him was wearing formal clothes, and his whole body exuded an abstinence and coldness.
She is tall and slender, with a distant look in her eyes.
Keep away strangers.
Qiao Xi thought silently in her heart that the two of them were still in the cold war.
Is it... that the tone is a little too intimate?
She pretended to be indifferent and said, "With Lao Chen following me, nothing will go wrong. Aren't you very busy recently? There is no need to waste your time on me. Seeing that you are dressed so formally, it must be something important."
What he said was a bit irritating.
Huo Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Didn't you want me to come?"
Qiao Xi was a little annoyed and confused: "When did I ever say that?"
Huo Xingzhou took out his mobile phone and clicked on the screenshot of the album.
The above is a screenshot of the other party typing, and the time shows that it is morning.
He looked at her with his stern eyes, almost seeing through Qiao Xi.
Silent, yet extremely pressured.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but pursed her lips, "I deleted it because I sent it to the wrong person. I was originally going to send a message to Shu Xue."
"oh."
He responded, his tone full of disbelief.
"Is Shuxue also your pinned post? Would it be wrong to post it like this?"
He was the only one on her pinned message.
So there is no possibility of sending it wrong.
Qiao Xi bit her cheek. Did he really have to make it clear?
She suddenly felt a little angry and frustrated. "Yes, I wanted to send you a message this morning. I wanted to ask if you were busy with the economic development plan for Moon Village recently and if you needed my help."
"Why not ask if I slept well in the guest room recently? Is it something a person is not used to?"
"You...didn't you sleep alone before you got married? What's there to be uncomfortable with?"
She is still stubborn.
Huo Xingzhou looked down at her, his stubborn habit coming back again.
He stretched out his fingers, pinched her lips, and spoke in a light tone.
"The mattress in the guest bedroom is not as comfortable as the one in the master bedroom. When can I go back to sleep?"
"It's your home, you can sleep whenever you want."
"Then don't lock the door tonight."
He is very good at seizing opportunities and won't keep giving the green tea man who is eyeing him a chance.
Qiao Xi's anger had subsided, but she still felt a little embarrassed.
So he said in a somewhat awkward tone, "Aren't the keys to the villa in the cabinet downstairs? If you want to come in, you can. Besides, the second floor is not very high."
You can come in from the terrace.
"Oh, you like me to climb over the wall. Is it more exciting?"
"Huo Xingzhou!"
She shouted in a low voice, with a hint of warning.
Old Chen stood not far from them, covering his mouth and laughing out loud.
This laughter made Qiao Xi even more embarrassed and angry. She opened the car door and got in.
Old Chen said quickly: "I'm sorry, young master, it was really too funny. So I couldn't help it..."
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "Starting today, watch three hours of funny short videos every day. When you can stop laughing, I'll give you a bonus."
"yes."
Lao Chen is innocent.
His sense of humour is not that high, so the bonus is probably a long way off.
Huo Xingzhou sat in the back seat, about a fist's distance away from Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi moved her seat closer to the car window, looking as if she didn't like him very much.
The car is moving.
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his fingers and stroked the back of her hand.
Qiao Xi moved her hand away.
He held her fingers tightly again and squeezed them against her palm.
A little itchy.
Qiao Xi almost couldn't hold it.
She glanced at him sideways: "What?"
"Your hands are a little cold. Let me warm them up for you." His big palms wrapped around her hands, and the warmth was transferred to her skin.
Qiao Xi's heart suddenly softened.
She whispered, "Aren't you going to ask me what happened at the Chinese Medicine Association today?"
"I want you to tell me first."
Qiao Xi raised her lips slightly and said, "I signed a contract with the Lu family for the supply of medicinal materials. They signed it for three years. Then they agreed to my condition of abolishing the north-south boundary. Maybe they thought that Master Cheng had really passed away, so it went more smoothly than I thought."
She thought it would take a long time.
People say Lu Bannong is suspicious, but perhaps the recent spate of happy events in the Lu family have diluted his caution.
This gave her an opportunity.
"The little doctor is amazing."
He was never stingy with his praises for her.
Because he knew that she had a hard time when she was young and must have been oppressed a lot during that period of time. In economically backward places, it is always more difficult for girls to grow up than boys.
Qiao Xi's tone became lighter: "Lu Bannong is going to resign, and Lu Yingxue has been unanimously elected as the next president. Given the father and daughter's pursuit of fame and fortune, they should announce it soon."
It’s great that Lu Yingxue is the president!
The incident between her and Zhong Lingxiao was the foundation of a towering building.
Once the foundation is destroyed, no matter how tall the building is, it will collapse.
There can only be one most suitable opportunity.
“This is a pleasant surprise.”
Huo Xingzhou had not expected that Luban Farmers' Association would give up the position of president to Lu Yingxue.
"I think Lu Bannong is not in good health. Maybe he has been exhausted recently and has no mood to deal with the trivial matters of the association. However, his daughter is in charge of the Chinese Medicine Association, and many important matters still require his approval. This makes no difference to Lu Bannong."
How could a person who has held power for so many years let it go so easily?
It's just a different way of doing things.
"This is a good thing for us. Lu Bannong has been running the business for many years without leaving any clues, but Lu Yingxue is different."
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hands and put his arms around her waist and said, "Why are you wearing so little today? The temperature in the capital has dropped again. It may snow heavily tonight."
Qiao Xi leaned into his arms and said, "That's enough."
She rubbed her cheek against his collar and said, "I really don't have any romantic feelings for Zhong Yi."
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "Then I want to eat vegetable rice cakes. I want to eat whatever he has. I can eat it occasionally, so it won't burden my stomach."
"Okay, I'll make it for you when I get home."
Qiao Xi felt helpless. He was so stubborn about certain things!
"I'm afraid not today. We have a family dinner."
Huo Xingzhou told Lao Chen the name of a big hotel in a calm tone.
Qiao Xi raised her head and looked at him and asked, "Has mother-in-law come to the capital?"
"no."
"Is that the Liu family?"
"Not really. It can be a family dinner or a small dinner. It all depends on what everyone says..."
What kind of party was that?
