Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 773: Top Male Green Tea

Huo Family.

Sun Weimeng was holding onto that laptop, refusing to let go.

He sat in the living room, staring at Qiao Xi, and said, "I think you should still keep some distance from Zhong Yi. He really likes you. You never know when he’ll find a chance to make a move. I’m a man; I know best."

Like when drunk, or given a drug... though drugging is impossible, Qiao Xi can counteract it herself.

Between men and women, things can easily get out of hand.

He knew this well.

Qiao Xi was holding a cushion, half of her body sunk into the soft sofa.

She frowned and said, "He’s not that kind of person. Even if he was... I’ve kept my distance."

Sun Weimeng raised his voice, "He’s already trying to find reasons to apply medicine to you. Is this what you call keeping distance? He clearly wants physical contact with you. There were me and Wan Jiang in the room, yet he specifically sought you out."

"But usually with other patients..."

"How is that the same! That Young Master Zhong is really a master of playing tricks with words. Is he the same as other patients?"

Qiao Xi was a bit confused. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

She wanted to treat everyone the same way, but it seemed she couldn’t.

Seeing her blank and somewhat bewildered expression, Sun Weimeng moved closer and said, "He likes you. Any of your actions are signals to him. Your contact isn’t pure. He wants you to treat him as a patient to lower your guard."

"But if it’s a friend, I could help with medicine too."

As a doctor, Qiao Xi couldn’t avoid this.

"That’s exactly Zhong Yi’s cleverness! He’s using your professional duties to get close to you. What if he asked you to feed him, would you agree?"

Qiao Xi shook her head.

Of course not.

She even corrected the terms of address with Wan Jiang; she’s no longer Miss Qiao but Doctor Qiao or Young Madam Huo.

"Truly cunning!"

Sun Weimeng sighed, "No wonder Huo Xingzhou sees him as a formidable enemy. Luckily I was there with you. Otherwise, who knows how much he’d have taken advantage of you."

Qiao Xi looked at him with mixed feelings, "Young Master Sun, I’m not that foolish."

It was just about applying medicine.

"I’ve decided, whenever you meet Zhong Yi from now on, I’ll be there!"

"Okay." Qiao Xi didn’t refuse. Having Sun Weimeng with her could avoid some awkward situations.

Sun Weimeng opened the laptop and browsed through the videos in the folder once more, looking quite pleased.

Qiao Xi reminded him, "Young Master Sun, why don’t you watch it in your room?"

"What relationship do we share? I’ll just lower the volume and browse quickly. I’m just counting how many videos there are. This folder has both complete and edited versions, adding up to more than ten hours. How long have they been secretly in touch?"

"In touch for what?"

A male voice came from the entrance.

Huo Xingzhou unfastened his tie with one hand and walked in.

Qiao Xi was surprised to see him, "Why are you back?"

"Something happened."

Huo Xingzhou said expressionlessly, "The Guan Family’s business ran into trouble. At such a critical time, the old man ended up in the emergency room again."

Qiao Xi stood up abruptly, "Emergency?"

"He’s safe now, but needs to recuperate well. With the new Big Four Families’ selection coming soon, this isn’t good news."

Huo Xingzhou poured a glass of warm water and took a sip.

His Adam’s apple moved.

Qiao Xi took a moment and said, "As long as he’s fine. It’s just a pity my Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles can’t treat Guan Wenli."

"The Guan Family’s decline was expected, lacking follow-through. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rushed Guan Jingtan into marriage. They need to fight for their own future."

Like rowing against the current, one must move forward or be left behind.

In the business world, this has always been the case.

Qiao Xi snapped back to reality and walked to his side, "This sort of thing wouldn’t really make you rush home."

Huo Xingzhou brushed her hand with his cool fingers, "I was afraid someone might take advantage of my absence at home."

Qiao Xi laughed at his teasing.

Sun Weimeng, hearing this, quickly added embellishments, recounting what happened with the Zhong Family.

Finally, he summed up, "Zhong Yi is truly the top green tea* male. Huo Xingzhou, I think you can’t beat him in that. Both men and women fall for his act, you should really learn! But I assure you, Qiao Xi has always maintained her distance and wasn’t swayed by the male vixen."

He took out his phone, "I have evidence!"

Young Master Sun played a recording and scrolled to the critical point.

The sound of Qiao Xi’s voice filled the living room.

"He’s the most important... you’re important too."

"This line! Qiao Xi means you’re the most important in her heart!"

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, really wanting to scold Young Master Sun.

"Sun Weimeng, you should go back to your room. I want to talk to Qiao Xi alone." Huo Xingzhou also found the noise a bit much, as Sun Weimeng was chattering incessantly like spilling beans.

"Alright then."

Sun Weimeng carried his laptop upstairs, still reluctant to leave.

Qiao Xi breathed a little easier.

Huo Xingzhou held her hand tightly and said, "I’ve made an appointment for your prenatal checkup this afternoon. It’s just the right time now."

"Today isn’t the scheduled day for a check-up."

"I just want to confirm something; I can’t wait any longer."

He was counting the days and checking the information.

He really couldn’t wait to go to the hospital to see if she was carrying twins.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, showing some suspicion. But she didn’t refuse and obediently followed beside Huo Xingzhou, walked out of the house, and got in the car.

Old Chen started the engine and drove the car away.

Qiao Xi gazed at the scenery outside the window and softly asked, "What about Jiaojiao and the Xie Family?"

"They’ll get engaged first and then register the marriage. The Xie Family will host a small engagement banquet first, a public declaration of an alliance. The wedding ceremony will be held later."

Getting engaged and registering the marriage wasn’t a surprise.

"When is the engagement banquet?"

"Next Friday at eight in the evening, the last day before New Year’s Eve."

This timing was impeccable, like a slap in the face to the Pei Family.

Heavy and loud.

The engagement banquet on the twenty-ninth, the next day was New Year’s Eve.

Truly well played.

"On that day, the new Big Four Families will also be decided. The Xie Family will undoubtedly secure a spot, and given the Lu Family’s current prominence, they might push the Guan Family out."

Public opinion polls and high society acceptance determine the birth of a family.

But absolute strength can defy everything!

Like the Zhong Family, with the Old Master of the Zhong Family holding the fort, they stand undefeated! No one would question the Zhong Family’s status as the first family!

Qiao Xi felt a bit regretful hearing this, "The Lu Family’s rise is partly due to us."

They intentionally pushed the Lu Family up high so that the fall would be harder and the pain greater.

And they wouldn’t be able to recover!

Being driven to the top by their prestigious reputation made the Lu Family most constrained by their reputation!

Huo Xingzhou reached out and tousled her hair, "Soon, it’ll all be over."

The car arrived at the Imperial Capital Private Hospital, but unexpectedly, they encountered someone familiar there.

*Note: "green tea" refers to someone who appears innocent and sweet but is manipulative or scheming.
