Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 123 - : Whether I’m Dressed or Not, See for Yourself

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Whether I’m Dressed or Not, See for Yourself

“Are you dressed?” His eyes darkened as he asked in a low voice.

Qiao Xi knelt on the soft bed, her hands covering her chest, her almond-shaped eyes misty. She bit her lip, seemingly at a loss for words.

The man’s handsome face was extremely cold and restrained, but his eyes seemed to be blazing with layers of flames, an unstoppable wildfire.

“Not dressed?” he asked again.

Qiao Xi lowered her head, her ears burning hot.

A light chuckle escaped from his throat as he leaned down to kiss her eyelashes, “Little Divine Doctor, why so shy?” After all, they had been utterly candid with each other earlier.

Qiao Xi’s face flushed so deeply it seemed blood might seep out.

She was well aware of what would happen tonight; she would give herself completely to the man in front of her. The words of Shu Xue and Zhou Yu flashed through her mind; she took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak.

“Whether I’m dressed or not, Mr. Huo, you can find out for yourself,” she said, her voice soft and trembling at the end. Her eyes were brimming with unripe charm.

“Alright.”

That word rolled off his tongue before he uttered it.

His nimble and long fingers climbed to her collar and slowly unbuttoned her nightgown, one after another, revealing a scene where ivory skin and black lace intertwined.

At that moment.

The annoying ringtone of a phone shattered the enchanting atmosphere.

The man frowned deeply.

Qiao Xi saw it was her phone.

“It’s a call from the hospital,” Qiao Xi explained softly, quickly answering the nurse station’s call, “Hello?”

“Doctor Qiao, the patient in Room 2121 is in critical condition!”

“Got it, I’ll be right there.”

Qiao Xi hung up the phone. Typically, any issues with inpatients would be handled by the on-duty doctors. But Liu Zongyun’s case was special, and Qiao Xi had instructed that any situation should be reported to her.

She looked at Huo Xingzhou apologetically and said, “Mr. Huo, I need to go to the hospital.”

It was like the arrow at the end of its flight suddenly interrupted.

Huo Xingzhou was not angry; he spoke with a hoarse voice, “I’ll take you there.”

“No need. Aunt Qian said that the big deal you’ve taken on recently is very important; get some rest early.”

“Then I’ll have Old Chen take you.” This was Huo Xingzhou’s final concession. Old Chen was good with his fists and feet and could protect her.

Not to let an incident like what happened with Li Yao occur again.

“Okay!”

Qiao Xi nodded, hurriedly changed her clothes in the dressing room, and left the house.

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze was heavy as he watched the small toys and board games strewn over the bed, feeling listless. He picked up his phone, noticed the recent call display flicker.

In the end, he deleted that familiar string of numbers.

Then he dialed Zhou Yu’s number.

Zhou Yu answered the phone with a chuckle, “How’s it going? Brother’s been good to you, right? I even inspired your wife.”

“You taught her?” Huo Xingzhou arched an eyebrow, no wonder the conservative girl would say something like that. He warned, “My wife, I’ll train myself. Your nonsense isn’t needed!”

Zhou Yu grumbled, “A dog that bites Lu Dongbin doesn’t recognize a good person’s heart. You must not have scored, I can already smell your frustration.”

“Meet at the company in half an hour.”

Huo Xingzhou was concise and hung up the phone.

Zhou Yu cursed, “Evil capitalist, calling me to work overtime at the company at this late hour, are you sick?!”

Despite his reluctant words, his actions were honest as he drove earnestly to Tianyuan Group for overtime.

…

At the hospital.

Qiao Xi hurried into Room 2121; everything was normal.

She asked the on-duty nurse, “What happened just now?”

“The heart went into sudden arrest, but it returned to normal after a while. I was afraid of any complications, so I thought I should still call you over,” she said, looking down, her voice tinged with guilt.

Qiao Xi didn’t notice and nodded her head, then asked,

“Who’s accompanying him tonight?” The Liu Family didn’t hire nurses, with family members taking turns to keep watch daily.

It wasn’t about not being able to afford it, but rather a desire to spend as much time as possible with Liu Zongyun. Perhaps, this was the last stretch of his life.

“It’s me.”

Xu Xingluo, dressed in an elegant Chanel-style set, held a basket of fresh-cut fruits, smiling brightly at Qiao Xi.

“When you’re looking after a patient, it’s best not to leave them alone, otherwise accidents can easily happen,” Qiao Xi said coldly.

Xu Xingluo showed no remorse and said, “I’m really sorry for disturbing you and Brother Xingzhou’s sleep.”

Qiao Xi was very aware of her hostility and couldn’t avoid it. She spoke lightly, “A phone call in the middle of the night is indeed very disappointing.”

Jealousy seethed in Xu Xingluo’s heart, but her face always kept a smile as she said, “Qiao Xi, I’ve been through everything you and he are doing. We were close as teenagers, skin to skin.”

“Honestly, this time in the Imperial Capital, I lived… with him. A man like him, his needs in that respect won’t be few.”

Xu Xingluo lifted her chin proudly, boasting, “The part he loves to kiss the most is a woman’s neck, he likes my ballet-trained supple body, and there… on his lower back is a red mole.”

Qiao Xi was shocked.

The red mole on Huo Xingzhou’s lower back had sunk into the crease of his buttocks, extremely private.

But Qiao Xi wouldn’t just listen to her sow discord, “Do you have proof?”

Xu Xingluo lifted her phone, “Yes, I’ll send it to you.”

A short video was sent to Qiao Xi’s cellphone, and she pursed her lips to open it.

The quality of the footage in the video wasn’t very clear, a bit shaky, but it captured Huo Xingzhou moving about in a bathrobe.

It was in a large hotel.

Xu Xingluo said with certainty, “Sooner or later, Brother Xingzhou and I will get back together. You should divorce soon; it won’t be too painful.”

Qiao Xi looked at her for a long while, and then, under Xu Xingluo’s puzzled gaze, called Sun Weimeng.

“Young Master Sun, I need a favor. Please help me check the flights Xu Xingluo took to the Imperial Capital recently, and the hotels she stayed at.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingluo’s complexion slightly changed, “The Xu Family has a private jet too, what’s the point in checking the flights.”

Qiao Xi said, “Mr. Huo mentioned that private plane routes still have to be reported to the airport, and can be traced. Because the process is complicated, he prefers first-class on commercial flights.”

“You…”

A single mistake can ruin everything.

Xu Xingluo hadn’t expected the country girl to understand these things, her plot fell short at the last hurdle.

She hadn’t been to the Imperial Capital during this time; one poke and the lie unravels.

Seeing Xu Xingluo so nervously agitated, Qiao Xi knew she was lying.

“Miss Xu, when you’re free, please take better care of the patient instead of engaging in such tricks.” Qiao Xi suspected that tonight’s issue with Liu Zongyun was also related to her.

But Qiao Xi never assumed the worst about people; after all, Liu Zongyun was Xu Xingluo’s biological uncle.

Having said this, she headed towards the duty room.

Xu Xingluo felt tightness in her chest and was extremely annoyed.

What airs a country girl put on, someone will deal with her sooner or later!

Inside the duty room.

Qiao Xi repeatedly watched the short video, guessing it must have been taken by someone close to Huo Xingzhou whom Xu Xingluo had a deep connection with.

As for the “red mole on the lower back” mentioned by Xu Xingluo, it was indeed troubling.

The good mood Qiao Xi had the whole night was ruined by her disgust.

She didn’t want to fall into Xu Xingluo’s trap, but it was something women do care about deeply. Her husband’s ex, her husband’s first love, her husband’s first time.

She had truly fallen for Mr. Huo.

After much hesitation, Qiao Xi dialed Zhou Yu’s number, preparing to inquire about the details.

On the other side,

Zhou Yu saw the incoming call and looked at Huo Xingzhou working overtime on the other side of the office in surprise.

“Huo Er, your wife’s calling me!”
