Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Devouring Everything Delivered to the Door

Qiao Xi walked over to the cobblestone path on the other side of the swimming pool before she answered the phone.

“Hello, good day.”

“Is this Miss Qiao? I’m a staff member at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The last time you visited us for service, our system encountered a problem. We lost all the data from that day,” the person on the line explained earnestly, very politely.

“So… what should we do?” Qiao Xi asked softly.

“If you have time, you could come over again. Alternatively, if the divorce cooling-off period has passed without collecting the divorce certificate, it is considered a withdrawal. Either party can come over to withdraw,” they explained.

“Oh, that’s good.” Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

This wasn’t a big deal.

After all, she and Mr. Huo were not going to get divorced, were they?

“I apologize again for troubling you and wish you a pleasant life.”

The call ended.

Lowering her gaze, Qiao Xi saw a text from Dr. Yan Shi’an at the Hai City Hospital asking her to make sure to visit the hospital the next day.

He had something very important to tell her.

Qiao Xi slightly furrowed her brows and immediately replied: Okay, I’ll be free to come tomorrow.

In front of the villa’s large French window.

Two men stood chatting while observing Qiao Xi’s figure.

Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze from her and teased the man beside him with a smile, “I heard that last night’s incident has already spread. Xiang Huai claimed at the hotel entrance that Xu Xingluo’s first time was with you. What are your thoughts?”

Last night’s drama.

It had stirred up all of Haicheng.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him indifferently, a smile not reaching his eyes, “Wishing for death?”

“Come on, just tell me.”

Zhou Yu was extremely curious.

“Fake,” Huo Xingzhou said coldly, his thin lips releasing the two-word response.

But since last night, Qiao Xi had not brought up the matter. Huo Xingzhou didn’t know what she was thinking.

“With Xu Corporation losing its leader, it’s indeed a good opportunity. No wonder you went immediately to divvy it up,” Zhou Yu hesitated before saying, “But everyone is saying that Xu Xingluo saved your life ten years ago, yet you hit him when he’s down—it doesn’t look good.”

Huo Xingzhou’s actions certainly had breached many people’s expectations.

If Tianyuan Group took over Xu’s pharmaceutical industry, they would truly have no rivals in Haicheng.

“Business is business. Do they dare come to me with their theories?” Huo Xingzhou stated indifferently.

Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up, “When it comes to ruthlessness, you’re the one. There’s another matter; dealing with the Zhong Family’s orders is challenging. Their follow-up is extremely strict, nearly nitpicking. Jin Kai is being driven crazy by them…”

Huo Xingzhou’s eyelids slightly drooped as he spoke solemnly, “The Zhong Family’s orders must be executed flawlessly. This is our first step into the Imperial Capital.”

“Understood. In the short term, that young master from the Zhong Family will be visiting Haicheng. By then, we again have to serve this ancestor well,” Zhou Yu said plaintively.

It was unclear why they, so fond of nitpicking, had to cooperate with Tianyuan Group.

Huo Xingzhou corrected him, “You will serve, not me.”

“Fine, you’re the big boss after all.”

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze, dark as an abyss, shifted towards the glass window, as he casually asked, “How are things at the police station?”

Zhou Yu, responsible for intelligence, quickly answered earnestly, “Xu Guangyao has hired a lawyer. Now, the case lacks an important witness. The truck driver from that year, Li Daming—if we find Li Daming within 37 days, Xu Guangyao will be sentenced to life without parole! But if not, with that lawyer’s tactics… he won’t be in for long.”

The key was Li Daming’s whereabouts.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Huo Xingzhou’s thin lips parted slightly, his tone grim, “Send someone to search. Ensure Xu Guangyao rots in jail.”

“Yes.”

Zhou Yu said ingratiatingly, “Could you perhaps let Old Chen help out? He’d definitely be great at this.”

“You discuss it with him yourself.”

“Your word is enough for me.”

Tomorrow, he’d coax Old Chen into seeking Li Daming, even if it meant digging three feet into the ground to find him.

Xu Guangyao thinking of getting out? Next life!

Zhou Yu clenched his teeth in frustration as he fiddled with the vase by the floor-to-ceiling window.

He tore off clumps of Eucalyptus Flower one after another.

Snap!

Huo Xingzhou slapped his hand away without mercy.

Zhou Yu complained, “It’s just a bouquet of flowers, right? You really are stingy. Those flowers are quite unique, what are they called?”

Aunt Qian came over with two cups of coffee and explained, “These are Eucalyptus Flowers, the Young Madam likes them very much. Our young master reserves a fresh bouquet every day.”

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, “So these are Eucalyptus Flowers.”

As a seasoned player in the game of love, he obviously knew his stuff.

He had also heard that phrase, “When the Eucalyptus meets the Shihua Bird, not loving anything but you.”

“Huo Er, you really have a sense for the romantic. So, these are the flowers that symbolize your commitment to Qiao Xi, how romantic.”

Aunt Qian covered her mouth and laughed, “Our young master is thoughtful indeed.”

These commitment flowers need to be well taken care of.

Zhou Yu stretched lazily and said, “I’m not going to talk business with you anymore, I need to go relax in the pool.”

Huo Xingzhou looked at him with a half-smile.

Relax?

Always so elusive.

…

The western sun set, filling the sky with a thick glow of twilight.

The quiet solitude quickly settled over the Huo family’s small villa as Aunt Qian sent off the guests and began cleaning up the mess.

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou sat on the gardening chair on the second floor, watching the sunset.

She leaned into the man’s embrace.

Watching as the sky grew darker, it looked like it was going to rain.

The streetlights in the villa area lit up one by one.

With her almond eyes shifting and a playful smile suppressed, Qiao Xi said, “Mr. Huo, who did you really give your first time to? Even Sun Weimeng believed Xiang Huai’s words.”

“What else did he say?” Huo Xingzhou’s strong arms wrapped around her waist as he turned to look at her, making the hanging gardening chair creak with the movement.

“He said you can’t tell a man’s first time by just looking.”

Sun Weimeng’s knowledge seemed rather extensive as he spent quite a while explaining this to several girls.

The corners of Huo Xingzhou’s mouth subtly hardened as he made a mental note regarding Sun Weimeng.

“So you don’t believe me?”

Qiao Xi looked at him cunningly, “I don’t believe you, unless you can prove it. Xu Xingluo mentioned last time about your…” her fingers gently poked the man’s buttocks, “this spot here, you even have a mole.”

Huo Xingzhou’s lips tightened slightly, his jawline immaculate all the way to his neck.

His Adam’s apple slowly bobbed, and his long fingers mischievously caressed her waist.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but giggle, “No fair playing dirty!”

Tickling was her weakness, so she immediately stood up and ran away.

Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the railing of the balcony, kissing her neck.

He struggled to suppress the surging emotions, his voice hoarse as he said, “A man who has newly learnt the taste craves more. If I had been with someone else before, I would have devoured you the moment you showed up at my doorstep.”

There was no need for such prolonged testing and to still be able to control his desires.

Qiao Xi blushed at his words, her eyes flickering shyly.

Her gaze inadvertently caught a nearby shaded path where a Maserati was parked at the curb, gently rocking.

The car window was still open.

From this height on the balcony, the view was excellent, almost clear enough to see the expression on the face of the person inside the car.

With just one glance, Qiao Xi was overwhelmingly embarrassed.

They could actually be like that!
