Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 605: She Took Zhong Yi’s Pulse

Qiao Xi stood by the sofa in the lounge, her arm entwined with Huo Xingzhou’s, her other hand still tightly clutching the needle pack.

She watched as Lu Yingxue slowly walked into the bathroom, her high heels splashing some water on the ceramic tiles with a click-clack sound.

Lu Yingxue reached out her hand, her fingers, adorned with the engagement manicure, directly gripping the woman’s chin, forcing her to look up!

The damp long hair parted, revealing a pure and fair face.

Her almond-shaped eyes were clear but also betraying a hint of nervousness!

It was actually Ye Ying from the Ye Family, the out-of-favor legitimate daughter!

Astonishment flashed across Qiao Xi’s eyes, why would it be Ye Ying! The one scalded with hot water by the nanny, leaving scars all over her body—she was the first Diamond Card customer of Jiaojiao Beauty Salon.

How could she be here?

That question was also on Lu Yingxue’s mind.

She pinched Ye Ying’s fingers so hard that the nails were nearly embedded in her skin.

"Miss Ye, may I ask why you are together with my fiancé? I remember your resting room is on the second floor, how come you ended up on the fifth floor?" Lu Yingxue’s voice was especially cold, almost with a bloodthirsty tone.

A disfavored Miss Ye from the Ye Family means nothing at all.

The legitimate wife of the Ye Family died early, and many knew that the nanny was bought off by the stepmother to pour boiling water on her.

Ye Ying, who became self-conscious because of the scars, did not have her lovely face ruined, which is truly a pity.

Lu Yingxue never expected that a woman she looked down upon would pick up such an advantage!

"It hurts..."

Ye Ying was pinched so hard by her that tears fell, "Whether you believe it or not, Miss Lu, I came to see Doctor Qiao. I wanted to ask her to see if my scars can be removed! There were too many people in the banquet hall, it was not convenient to show her there."

"Just that coincidental?"

Lu Yingxue scoffed, she didn’t believe it at all!

Ye Ying had no interactions with Qiao Xi, yet she happened to come here to seek out Qiao Xi.

Ye Ying’s eyes welled up with tears of pain, "I didn’t expect Young Master Zhong to be in a Huo Family’s room. Miss Lu, I’m not a prophet."

Lu Yingxue turned her head to look at Zhong Yi, "Don’t you have anything to explain about today’s incident? You and this kind of woman..."

"Explain what?"

Zhong Yi casually pulled over a clean bathrobe and draped it over himself, "I will go to the hospital for a test, and I will find out who drugged me and how it got into my system. I will give you an explanation then."

Zhong Yi’s gaze fell deep onto her as he said, "There is something quite strange, though, I only felt this way after drinking the Hangover Soup you prepared. Surely the famed female healer of the Imperial Capital wouldn’t resort to such despicable means, right?"

"I... of course not! We are engaged, what should be done is just a matter of time."

"That’s good to hear."

Zhong Yi sneered, "Don’t touch Miss Ye, perhaps she already carries my child."

"Zhong Yi!" Lu Yingxue was furious, "You want her to bear your child? Have you lost your mind? What position does that put me in?"

Zhong Yi looked lazy and indifferent, "The old master never stipulated that the child had to come from you, anyone will do. Have you forgotten what you said?"

The conversation they had in the car after leaving Ruisa Shopping Mall last time.

Zhong Yi didn’t mind reminding her of it in front of others.

"You said, you loved me as a person. If I were to find another woman, you would be sad, but you would also reflect on where you hadn’t been good enough," Zhong Yi said with unrestrained expression, "One shouldn’t be too greedy; you should calm down and consider what you really want—is it me, or is it the position of Young Madam Zhong."

He spoke these words so realistically and uncomfortably.

Lu Yingxue clenched her fists, she could almost feel the tangible pity in Qiao Xi’s gaze upon her.

Lu Yingxue’s throat tightened: "I will go down first to entertain the guests."

This woman’s emotions were truly stable, even faced with "betrayal," she could still prioritize the bigger picture.

Lu Yingxue walked past Qiao Xi in her high heels and left the room.

As she left,

Young Master Zhong’s entire body went limp and collapsed, and Ye Ying quickly supported him.

"Young Master Zhong, are you okay?"

Young Master Zhong avoided her hand and put some distance between them, "I won’t go back on the promise I made to you. You can go back first. For the next month, be on call as we agreed."

A faint sense of loss welled up in Ye Ying’s heart as she said, "Okay."

Just as Ye Ying was about to leave, she heard his voice, smooth as jade, "Wait."

She quickly turned to look at him.

But Young Master Zhong simply said, "Close the door."

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it." Standing at the door, Huo Sijiao slammed the door shut, even locking it to prevent others from peeping.

She was now full of curiosity and gossip, what a pity that Sun Weimeng wasn’t present.

Did this imperial capital’s distinguished Young Master Zhong actually have anything happen with Ye Ying?

What rumors will sweep over the imperial capital tomorrow?

Young Master Zhong face was flushed, his tall legs weakly knelt on the carpet. He was breathing heavily as he looked at Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi beside him and said, "President Huo, you’ve enjoyed the spectacle. Help me up."

His drug had not been cured at all!

The bathtub was filled with cold water to contain the burning desire coursing through his body, and the hot shower was just a smokescreen.

Qiao Xi opened her mouth in surprise.

Huo Sijiao was even less discreet, muttering, "Then you didn’t actually have relations with Ye Ying, why did you admit it in front of so many people?"

Spreading rumors about himself?

Young Master Zhong’s lips curved slightly, but he no longer had the strength to speak.

Huo Xingzhou stepped forward, pulled him up, and helped him lie down on the bed in the resting room.

His brows and eyes were indifferent, and there was still a hint of jealousy in his heart.

He spoke unkindly, "Young Master Zhong, quite daring. Today’s act appears to be a loss for you, but it actually stops the Lu Family and Zhong Lingxiao from making any major moves in the short term, so no one really comes out ahead."

"President Huo is indeed clever. Now, I need Doctor Qiao to give me an acupuncture treatment. I heard that this is how you helped Guan Jingtan. This must be simple for you."

"It’s no trouble, consider it a reciprocation for my learning experience with the Zhong Family."

Qiao Xi unfolded her needle pack and took out a sharp, long needle.

She reached out to lift Young Master Zhong’s robe, but Huo Xingzhou beat her to it, casually tossing it over Young Master Zhong’s head.

As if by accident.

Young Master Zhong turned over to lie on his stomach on the bed, not annoyed. As he moved, Qiao Xi caught a glimpse of a scar hidden by his suit pants at his lower back, her fingertips started to tingle slightly, her heart thundering.

Qiao Xi said with an exceptionally calm voice, "Young Master Zhong, please extend your arm so I can check your pulse first."

Young Master Zhong obediently extended his fair wrist, and Qiao Xi’s fingers touched it.

She held on for quite a while before finally letting go.

Under the gaze of the other three, with her breathing well-controlled, she said, "There’s no major issue, we can proceed directly with the acupuncture for detoxification."

"Then I’ll trouble Doctor Qiao."

Qiao Xi maintained a faint smile on her face, but her heart was in turmoil. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

She tried to control herself and said, "It’s no trouble, it’s part of a doctor’s duty."

A gifted and experienced TCM physician is skillful, able to discern many problems simply from one’s pulse.

For example, Young Master Zhong has once suffered a very serious internal injury.
