Chapter 155: Meeting at the Hotel
Isn't it obvious that he wants others to see him?
The more Chu Siran thought about it, the more she felt this was Chu Xi's scheme. Unable to defeat them openly, she resorted to underhand tactics. This was indeed Chu Xi's usual style.
"Yilan, don't be sad. I think all this must be Chu Xi's conspiracy. Think about it, if Huo Juncheng really was meeting Chu Xi in private, then why did they have to be in the lounge? Even if it was a private meeting, it should have been in the hotel. It must be Chu Xi's doing. I think you'd better ask Huo Juncheng what's going on when you return to the Huo family."
"Ask him?"
"Yeah, maybe Chu Xi just wants you to misunderstand all this. Huo Juncheng always has an icy face and it's obvious that he's the type who doesn't want to explain anything. And you don't ask anything, so the misunderstanding will just continue."
"Is this really all Chu Xi's plan?" Lin Yilan asked Chu Siran cautiously. Although she also hoped that all this was fake and designed by Chu Xi, she still didn't quite believe it.
Seeing Lin Yilan like this, Chu Siran could only nod in agreement. Although she felt that this was Chu Xi's calculation, as for the specific situation, who could tell? She said this just to comfort Lin Yilan and tell her not to be too sad.
"Okay, then I'll wait until I get back to the Huo family and ask Huo Juncheng what's going on. If he really likes Chu Xi..."
Seeing Lin Yilan starting to think wildly again, Chu Siran interrupted her in time: "Don't worry, although I don't like Huo Juncheng very much, I think Huo Juncheng's taste is not as bad as that brat Li Mu. As for Chu Xi? Tsk tsk, Huo Juncheng probably wouldn't like her."
The two of them later chatted idly on the rooftop. Although the rooftop was not as lively as the banquet downstairs, there were still drinks and food prepared. The two of them simply ate something on the rooftop and did not go downstairs.
Lin Yilan originally wanted to believe Huo Juncheng and go back to the Huo family to ask him what was going on. However, because of what happened in the lounge, Huo Juncheng did not go back to the Huo family at night. Instead, he went to the hotel to keep Chu Xi's appointment.
…
"You said you knew the inside story of the Haida incident. What was it? Also, do you know the whereabouts of Lin Pinyan?"
Huo Juncheng entered the room that Du Chuxi mentioned and asked the questions he wanted to ask directly. He didn't want to be alone with Chuxi at all.
"Don't be anxious. What I know is quite complicated. Give me some time to sort it out. Juncheng, have a drink first and have dinner with me. I haven't had dinner with you for a long time."
When Huo Juncheng heard Chu Xi say this, he thought it was just a meal, so he didn't refuse. He took the wine that Chu Xi handed over and took a sip.
"But what I'm more curious about is, how did you know about Kaida?"
"This is more complicated than it sounds." Chu Xi looked at Huo Juncheng and drank the wine he handed over, and put on a bright smile, his eyes never leaving Huo Juncheng.
Hearing Chu Xi say this, Huo Juncheng could clearly sense Chu Xi's perfunctory response. "Is it too complicated to explain clearly at the moment, or... you simply don't know?"
"Jun Cheng, how could you think of me like that? If I didn't know, why would I invite you here!"
When Chu Xi heard Huo Juncheng questioning him, he became anxious!
Although she had not participated in the affairs of Haida University, she knew without a doubt that it must have been done by Shen Shenyan. However, if she still wanted to survive, she really couldn't tell Huo Juncheng about all this.
"So, what exactly is going on? Can you tell me now?"
Huo Juncheng frowned, his expression clearly revealing impatience.
Chu Xi watched Huo Juncheng take another sip of the red wine in the glass and counted the time silently in his heart: ten, nine, eight, seven... the effect of the medicine should be almost there.
Looking at Huo Juncheng's right hand attached to the solar plexus, Chu Xi knew that the medicine had taken effect.
Since Huo Juncheng didn't want anything to happen between them, she knew how to use some little tricks to make something happen between them.
"Juncheng, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired from work recently?" Chu Xi said this in a caring manner, and put her hand on Huo Juncheng's head and gently massaged Huo Juncheng.
"I haven't taken care of you for a long time since I returned to the Chu family. I don't know how Lin Yilan has taken care of you. I have missed you so much these days. Haven't you thought of me?"
"Chu Xi, you are now the eldest daughter of the Chu family. Although I am very sad to lose such an excellent work partner like you, I am also sincerely happy that you can return to your roots."
Huo Juncheng knew that his current posture with Chu Xi was a bit ambiguous, but although he thought in his mind that this couldn't go on, his body just didn't want to be away from Chu Xi. In fact, he wanted more.
Huo Juncheng didn't know why he suddenly became like this, but Chu Xi knew it clearly. She didn't expect that Li Xiang's medicine would be so effective.
"Jun Cheng, are you a little tired now? How about I help you to the bed and let you rest for a while? As for Haida's matter, we can talk about it after you have rested, okay?"
Chu Xi spoke softly as if coaxing a child, deliberately pressing her body against Huo Juncheng, and then reached out to untie Huo Juncheng's tie.
Huo Juncheng knew that if he continued like this, he might do something. He grabbed Chu Xi's hand that was roaming all over his body and said, "It's okay. I'm not tired. Just say what you want to say. Also, don't get so close."
"You really don't want me to get close to you? Huo Juncheng, think about it carefully, do you really want me to stay away from you?" Chu Xi looked at Huo Juncheng and smiled charmingly. She didn't expect that Huo Juncheng could still push her away rationally at this moment.
However, after some time, Huo Juncheng's last bit of sanity will collapse under the effect of the drug.
Chu Xi deliberately kept some distance from Huo Juncheng. Huo Juncheng obviously felt uncomfortable because of Chu Xi's action, but his reason told him that he must not get close to Chu Xi again.
Chu Xi looked at Huo Juncheng's tangled look and couldn't help laughing. Then she took the initiative to stick to Huo Juncheng and said, "Juncheng, I'm here. If you want me, I won't refuse you. After all, the one I really like in my heart has always been you."
"Bang—"
Just as Chu Xi was about to take the next step, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Chu Xi looked towards the door and saw a man with a not very tall build and a serious face standing there.
Chu Xi panicked instantly, "Who are you? Are you from Huo Juncheng?"
The man saw Chu Xi looking at him warily and scratched his eyebrows in amusement. "Excuse me, Miss, I'm not Mr. Huo's man, but I am Sister Yilan's man."
"What? Lin Yilan sent you here?"
