Chapter 99 Ten years ago, he and she

Xu Xingluo stood there in a daze when he heard his words.

He said, pick up your wife from get off work?

It was hard to imagine that such words came out of Huo Xingzhou's mouth. He had always been cold and reserved. In the past, even she had to work hard to get close to him, but now he affectionately called the village girl "wife"!

"Brother Xingzhou!"

Seeing him ruthlessly pressing the elevator button, Xu Xingluo quickly chased after him and hugged him tightly from behind.

Huo Xingzhou shouted unhappily, "Let go!"

Xu Xingluo shook her head and pressed closer. She had tears in her eyes, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was adorable.

Huo Xingzhou impatiently pried her fingers apart and pushed them aside.

Xu Xingluo screamed in surprise, and her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. She collapsed to the ground, her face turning blue, and she covered her chest and panted as she said, "Brother Xingzhou, I'm...I'm sorry."

She's back to her old habits again!

Huo Xingzhou's face froze, and he squatted down to search for asthma spray in her bag.

Xu Xingluo weakly grasped his wrist, tears rolling down her cheeks, "I didn't... I didn't bring it. If you don't forgive me, I won't even have the courage to... live."

Huo Xingzhou's handsome face was icy cold. "Are you trying to threaten me with death?"

He took out his cell phone and called Chen Xun, asking him to buy a bottle of asthma spray from a nearby pharmacy. Soon, Chen Xun, sweating profusely, brought the spray. Huo Xingzhou gave the spray directly to Xu Xingluo, and she recovered in a short while.

She grasped Huo Xingzhou's sleeves tightly with both hands, and said with a pale face: "Brother Xingzhou, I just want you to forgive me. Do you still remember that year..."

"I'll let Chen Xun take you back."

Huo Xingzhou interrupted her with a gloomy tone.

Xu Xingluo's tears fell like strings of pearls. "What do you want me to do to forgive me? Your instinctive reaction won't lie. When you saw me getting sick, your first reaction was to find asthma spray."

"Brother Xingzhou, you know that the reason I got asthma was because of you ten years ago... Can you please stop deliberately irritating me for what happened ten years ago?"

She raised her slender swan neck and looked at him eagerly.

"I'm afraid that if you die here, someone will cause trouble for you! Chen Xun, send her away!" Huo Xingzhou was unmoved and shouted again.

Chen Xun quickly walked up to Xu Xingluo and said, "Miss Xu, let me take you home first."

Xu Xingluo wiped her tears and said in a sobbing voice: "Okay, I will wait for you to calm down."

She left reluctantly, with a dark gleam in her eyes.

Now that she's back, she won't give up easily. Besides, she still has countless tricks up her sleeve.

Huo Xingzhou stood where he was and closed his eyes slightly.

All that flashed through my mind were bloody scenes of car accidents, vehicles colliding, and loud noises.

He was bloody and unconscious in that instant. When he woke up again, he had fallen to the bottom of the valley, accessible to everyone.

And the night I almost died ten years ago...

He slowly opened his eyes and returned to his office with an irritable mood. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows gave him a panoramic view of the entire Haicheng.

Finally, he called Zhou Yu and said, "Show me the previous cooperation case with the Zhong family in the imperial capital."

Zhou Yu quickly passed the information to him and said, "The Zhong family is in a serious internal struggle. This is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou responded indifferently.

He knew that the internal strife in the Zhong family was because of the return of a very capable illegitimate child. The imperial capital was prosperous, and the Tianyuan Group had to find a shortcut to expand its business territory.

After Zhou Yu finished talking about business with him, he asked tentatively: "Now that Xu Xingluo is back, what are your plans? I heard that the Xu family forced her to go abroad, she didn't deliberately abandon you to go abroad..."

At the scene of the accident, Huo Xingzhou and Xu Xingluo were in the same car. Huo Xingzhou was seriously injured, but Xu Xingluo was unharmed. The doctor declared that Huo Xingzhou was beyond saving, so the Xu family sent Xu Xingluo abroad.

He really seems to be ruthless and cold-blooded.

"Abandon?"

Huo Xingzhou sneered, seeming to be very disdainful.

Zhou Yu slapped himself in the face and explained, "I used the wrong words. But Huo Er, even if you raise a dog for so many years, you will have feelings for it, let alone a person. At the beginning, all of us thought you would be with Xu Xingluo."

Whether in terms of family background, character or emotional foundation, Xu Xingluo and Huo Xingzhou are a match made in heaven.

What's more, a family like theirs will eventually get married, so why not find a childhood sweetheart who they are in love with?

Besides Xu Xingluo, who else would Huo Xingzhou choose?

"You are blind."

Huo Xingzhou commented coldly.

Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Well, I hope you are not joking. Don't let Qiao Xi down, she is a good girl."

When mentioning Qiao Xi, Huo Xingzhou's slender fingers unconsciously twirled the pen.

His restless and dirty heart seemed to be cleansed and purified by this name, becoming calm and warm.

…

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Huo Sijiao sent Qiao Xi back to the small villa after work and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, you have to let your brother pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day to assert your sovereignty! Otherwise, the little goblins outside will have time to pester him."

Qiao Xi nodded obediently.

"Jiaojiao, thank you for taking me back. It's getting late, you should go home quickly."

"All right."

"Drive carefully and call me when you arrive." Qiao Xi reminded again.

Huo Sijiao drove away in a hurry. When Qiao Xi saw her leave, the smile on her face faded. Today, Mr. Huo promised to pick her up from get off work in the morning, but changed his mind in the evening, saying that he was too busy to come.

She glanced at the garage and saw that the car Huo Xingzhou was riding in was not there.

He hasn't come back yet.

Qiao Xi went into the small villa, and Aunt Qian went out to dance in the square. Everything was quiet.

She returned to the second floor of the villa with a heavy heart and closed the door.

She touched her cheek with her cold hands, and the words "post-traumatic stress disorder" kept circulating in her mind. She washed up mechanically and lay on the soft bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

It turned out that Xu Xingluo and Huo Xingzhou were both in the car in the accident.

In the early morning, the sound of a car engine shutting down was heard. Then, footsteps became more and more obvious at her door, and she could hear deliberately low voices outside the door.

"Is she asleep?" a deep and pleasant male voice asked.

"The young lady must be tired from work and went to bed early." Aunt Qian replied.

"Well, go and rest. I'll take a look at her."

As the man finished speaking, Qiao Xi quickly closed her eyes and breathed slowly. She could feel the door being gently opened, and a ray of light leaked in through the gap.

A tall and slender shadow slowly fell in front of her, and his warm fingers stroked her cheeks.

Gentle and affectionate.

When the man came closer, a faint sweet fragrance that did not belong to him wafted over.

Qiao Xi's breath was choked, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

That was the scent of Xu Xingluo's perfume, which she had just smelled during the day.

The memory is particularly vivid.
