Chapter 772: No match for Qiao Xi
Qiao Xi pursed her lips after hearing Zhong Yi's words.
She is hesitating.
Zhong Yi placed his hands on both sides of the wheelchair and whispered, "You always did this before. Do you do this to other patients? Am I... a special person to you?"
Qiao Xi was surprised by his question.
She did not hesitate to treat other patients, but treated them openly as patients, regardless of gender.
Why is it so special when I am in front of Zhong Yi!
Zhong Yi lowered his eyes, looking somewhat lost and pitiful.
Qiao Xi's heart softened.
He already had no relatives in the true sense of the word in this world, and he suffered such humiliation. Even if it was part of the plan, the wound on his face was real.
It was just a small request, but she still...
"Let me do it!"
Sun Weimeng snatched the ointment from Qiao Xi's hand, walked up to Zhong Yi and said flatteringly, "From now on, Huo Xingzhou is my boss, and you are the second. I learned a lot of pharmacology from Qiao Xi, and I still know how to apply simple ointments. Don't worry, I guarantee that most of your scars will be gone by tomorrow."
He squeezed out the ointment, took out some and rubbed it on his fingertips to warm it, then applied it to Zhong Yi's face.
Zhong Yi turned his head away.
Who is your second?
He took back what he had said before: Sun Weimeng was really annoying.
"Young Master Sun! Young Master Sun!" Wan Jiang stood in front of him and said, "I'll apply the medicine. Young Master doesn't like to be touched by outsiders. Let me do it. I won't bother you with this matter."
Sun Weimeng still felt a little regretful, "Forget it, I'll give it to you."
He gave the ointment to Wan Jiang and winked at Qiao Xi when no one was paying attention.
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at them and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back first. Master Cheng still needs my care. Yi, you need to have a good rest and don't think too much. After the New Year, I want to see you bring all your things back... little by little."
"good."
Zhong Yi responded.
"Wanjiang, go and see them off."
"No need, we can get to know each other. Let Wan Jiang take care of you here, and don't move around casually. Leave a few more people with you, I'm afraid Zhong Lingxiao will do something bad to you. He won't dare to kill you in the city center. But what if..."
Qiao Xi looked worried, "You have to take good care of yourself."
"Well, I want to meet Master Cheng in a few days."
"I'll tell him. Bye."
Qiao Xi walked out of the room and looked back. She found that Zhong Yi was still looking at her, and the emotion in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Qiao Xi felt as if she was scalded and left in a hurry.
"Qiao Xi, please walk slower. I haven't brought my laptop yet." Sun Weimeng turned around, picked up the laptop he liked, said thank you to him, and then quickly left the villa.
Wan Jiang held the ointment and reminded, "Master, Doctor Qiao has left."
"Dr. Qiao? Why don't you call her Miss Qiao anymore?"
"Well, because I don't think you would want to hear me call her Mrs. Huo."
Zhong Yi looked at him coldly and asked, "Mrs. Huo? Wan Jiang, do you think you are tired of living?"
What he hated most was this title, as if Qiao Xi had become an appendage of Huo Xingzhou.
Wan Jiang shrank his neck, "I told you that you don't like this title."
"Did she ask you to scream like that?"
"Well, Qiao Xiao... her attitude is quite serious." Wan Jiang looked at his own Master Zhong and sighed helplessly, "Actually... I think your conditions are very good, there is no need to stick to her. There are so many famous ladies in the capital..."
"They are not as good as Qiao Xi."
Zhong Yi is a very determined and stubborn person.
He could no longer tell whether his feelings for Qiao Xi were an obsession or a deep-rooted love for her.
If possible, he still wanted to be with her.
Even if I look at it every day, I will feel at peace.
"Master Zhong, you are really..." Wan Jiang didn't know what to say, "Let me apply some medicine on you first. It doesn't look good to have slap marks on your face all the time. I don't know what other people will say when they see you."
"Give me the ointment. If you're fine, get out of here. Stop talking nonsense. No girl likes a nagging man."
Personal attack!
Wan Jiang felt as if he had been shot in the heart. He then handed him the ointment and said, "I suddenly remembered something to report to you. Lin Xifei has gone to the hospital to secretly do a DNA test. She said she wanted to meet you. She still cares about the bodyguard A Yao and has changed her mind."
"What does she want to do?"
"She wants to modify the terms of the deal with you. After the deal is done, you give her 20 million and let her take the baby in her belly and A Yao away from the capital safely, and never show up again."
The family of three was going to live happily ever after, and even the bodyguard he specially found who looked like Zhong Lingxiao would be taken away.
"Okay, but there's no need to meet. Let her stay by Zhong Lingxiao's side. After the banquet on the ninth day of the first lunar month, she can live the life she wants."
Zhong Yi didn't care whether Lin Xifei stayed or left.
She didn't ask for too much, so he could still agree to these conditions.
"Okay, I'll reply to her then."
Lin Xifei is a very important chess piece.
There can be no loss.
"I suddenly thought of something not so important!"
"Wan Jiang, your memory makes me wonder if I chose the wrong person. Or have you decided to join Zhong Lingxiao and deal with me casually?"
Wan Jiang wanted to kneel down before him, "Mr. Zhong is innocent! I was thinking about the recent movements of the Pei family. It seems that the Feng family has hooked up with the Pei family. Feng Nanxi is going to have a blind date with the youngest son of the Pei family."
"That idiot Pei Qian?"
"Yes. Family marriage is a way to unite forces in a short period of time. The Pei family may also want to make further progress in the selection of the four major families. They are ambitious. Pei Qian, who is unlearned and unskilled, can be used for marriage. Even Pei Chun, a side branch, is also selecting a suitable marriage partner."
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intention.
Zhong Yi showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. Pei family? Feng family?
A few decades ago, the Feng family was able to run side by side with the Zhong family, but what is left now? Is there any hidden card, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse?
So that's why the Pei family took it seriously?
Wan Jiang added: "The eldest daughter of the Feng family is only eighteen years old. After returning to China, she will study at the Imperial University. If you want to ruin this marriage, you'd better do it as soon as possible."
The image of the cute and lively girl whom he met at the airport that day flashed through Zhong Yi's mind. Her bright and innocent peach blossom eyes left a deep impression on him.
"Find out where and when they go on blind dates."
"yes!"
"Go out."
Zhong Yi drove Wan Jiang out, and he was the only one left in the room.
He held the tube of ointment in his hand, as if trying to absorb some of the warmth that had long since dissipated from it.
