Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 613: You Guys are Playing Too Extreme

The next day.

Huo Family’s Garden Villa.

Qiao Xi rubbed her drowsy eyes and turned her head upon hearing some noise, seeing Huo Xingzhou emerging from the bathroom. He was only wearing a bathrobe, with the tie undone.

The exposed chest still had some moisture, with water droplets sliding down and disappearing into the bathrobe.

Qiao Xi yawned, her head feeling heavy.

It seemed like she had fallen asleep early last night. After leaving the party, she couldn’t remember anything, as if there was a blackout. The champagne’s alcohol content was low, but she didn’t know how much she drank, eventually getting sleepy as the effects kicked in.

Her gaze followed Huo Xingzhou as he dried his hair and approached the bed.

Suddenly, Huo Xingzhou bent down and reached out to caress her cheek.

His eyes looked at her seriously, as if trying to see into her heart. Then, he lowered his head, saying nothing, and kissed her lips.

Qiao Xi placed her hands on his chest, with a hint of resistance in her movements: "I haven’t... taken a shower yet."

"It’s alright, I saw you were restless near dawn, so I cleaned you up and changed your sleepwear." He was feeling a bit annoyed then.

Silently harboring the thought of waking her with commotion, he cleaned her thoroughly from the inside out, throwing the white dress far away.

The dress worn to Zhong Yi’s engagement, he never wanted to see it again in his life. freewebnøvel.com

He pressed Qiao Xi’s hands by the pillow, his actions unusually assertive.

He hadn’t been this domineering for a long time, not allowing her to refuse.

Qiao Xi didn’t even have time to think, only able to feel the post-shower warmth from his body, little by little engulfing her.

She lay limp on the bed.

Huo Xingzhou didn’t say another word.

In the room, only the rustling sound of clothes and the rolling of the quilt could be heard. Qiao Xi’s petite body was covered by him.

He held himself up with his hands on either side, his deep-set eyes watching her.

She wasn’t aware of how much champagne she drank to get that drunk last night, vomiting and fussing in the middle of the night, calling out for her grandmother.

A little while later, she was calling "Ayi."

Huo Xingzhou would always remember the look of her bloodshot eyes, full of tear stains. It was the first time she called out "Ayi" in his presence, not just in her dreams.

The impact was more intense than sleep-talking.

It also left him with a vague sense of disquiet and a faint sense of crisis. The threat and provocation from Zhong Yi during the day were vivid in his mind. Huo Xingzhou was sure of his importance in Qiao Xi’s heart surpassing Zhong Yi.

But he didn’t want a one-sided dominance.

He wanted wholeheartedness, without any damn corners occupied by Zhong Yi.

Thinking of this, his movements became even more vigorous.

"It hurts..."

Qiao Xi’s soft voice reminded.

The man reached out and covered her eyes, "It will be better in a while."

Qiao Xi felt like a small boat battered by waves, swaying, unable to anchor.

She didn’t know how long had passed; there was some noise from the corridor outside, and someone knocked on the door.

The light outside was bright, the sunlight shining through the curtains.

Only then did Huo Xingzhou slowly get up, briefly washed, and took a white shirt and suit from the cloakroom.

Qiao Xi, covered in fragrant sweat, lay on the bed watching him with flushed cheeks.

He dressed formally, slowly tying his tie. It seemed that after venting, even his brows and eyes were more relaxed and relieved.

With a slightly hoarse voice, Qiao Xi asked, "Are you going out today?"

"Mm, some matters from last night weren’t settled, need to head out and wrap them up."

He was preparing to establish a branch of Tianyuan Group in the Imperial Capital, by then the business in the Imperial Capital would mainly be handled by the branch, making collaboration much more convenient.

"So busy."

Qiao Xi felt a bit exhausted, even feeling tingling in her fingertips.

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes flickered slightly, speaking in a deep voice, "Last night you said you wanted to have the longevity noodles your grandmother made, cried even in your dream. You also said some sleep-talk, so rest well at home today, don’t run around."

"Oh."

Qiao Xi nodded obediently, again asking, "What sleep-talk did I say? Was I causing a drunk scene?"

The warmth in Huo Xingzhou’s eyes dimmed a little, straightening his body, his tone somewhat cold: "Didn’t hear clearly, you just said a few words and fell asleep, very obedient."

In truth, he heard everything clearly, it was just crying and calling for grandmother and Ayi.

"Then if I say sleep-talk next time, record it for me, I don’t even know what I sound like when I say sleep-talk."

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was hoarse and low: "Let’s talk about it later." Record it just to annoy himself?

He would never record it.

"I’m leaving first, go downstairs to eat something then continue sleeping." Huo Xingzhou, fully dressed, walked out of the room.

In the long corridor, Old Chen was waiting for him, visibly relieved seeing him step out. He was really afraid that the Young Master would indulge in tenderness and forget urgent matters.

Old Chen lowered his voice, saying, "Young Master, there’s news about Mr. Cheng, we need to verify it. It’s unclear whether the news is true or false."

"Let’s go, finish dealing with Cheng Han’s matter first, then go finalize the site for the branch."

"Alright."

Old Chen hurried along, the two leaving one after another.

Inside the room.

Qiao Xi lay for a few more minutes before getting up to freshen up.

When her legs hit the ground, she almost couldn’t stand, nearly stumbling and falling. There was a dull pain somewhere, making her frown slightly.

Although he was gentler later, it still caused some hurt.

There was no medicine at home, she thought it shouldn’t be serious so didn’t make a fuss, just shortened her steps a lot while walking.

When she was downstairs.

Huo Sijiao had already gone out, saying she went to check the renovation progress of the beauty salon, rushing to open it on the auspicious day next week.

This was a date specially calculated by a master.

Xiaoyun placed a warm bowl of egg noodles before her and said, "Young Madam, these are fine noodles specially chosen, with crispy fried soft-boiled eggs you specifically requested. See how I did? I made it once last night, but you fell asleep when you got home, and the Young Master didn’t want us to disturb you."

"Thank you."

Qiao Xi sat by the dining table, with Sun Weimeng sitting across from her, supporting his chin with his hands while watching her.

Qiao Xi felt bewildered by his gaze and asked, "What’s wrong? Why didn’t you go out with Jiaojiao to visit the beauty salon?"

"Her? Do you really believe she’s just gone to the beauty salon? I saw her checking out new men’s fashion on her phone early in the morning, probably picking clothes for some wild man. This Young Master won’t be a third wheel. But you..."

Sun Weimeng smiled with an air of suggestiveness: "You and Huo Xingzhou went a bit overboard, didn’t you?"

Qiao Xi’s ears instantly grew hot and red, she lowered her head, picking up a mouthful of noodles to eat as a distraction.

"Don’t be shy. Your husband and Zhou Yu have gotten quite a bit of study material, haven’t they? Good things should be shared. Last night I heard sounds from your room even at dawn, what secret does he have to be so... enduring?"

Sun Weimeng had collected a lot of contacts from young ladies at the engagement banquet, ready to enjoy a life with countless beauties in the Imperial Capital.

He had to prepare himself in advance.

Qiao Xi was stunned when he mentioned last night.

Huo Xingzhou clearly said she fell asleep quickly.

"Young Master Sun, what noises did you hear from our room?"
