Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 630: First Snow, Most Suitable for Love

Xie Xubai said softly, "We can go up by ourselves, no need for special arrangements."

"Alright. There are a lot of people here to see the snow tonight, some are quite busy."

The owner chuckled, as his mountain villa offered scenic views, with snow season being the busiest. Today marked the first snow of the Imperial Capital, and those who couldn’t get a room planned to enjoy the snow overnight in the courtyard.

That’s part of the charm, braving the cold for romance.

He glanced at Huo Sijiao beside Xie Xubai, smiling kindly: "Mr. Xie always came alone in previous years, but this year he has company. I’ll leave you two to it, please head inside."

"Okay."

Xie Xubai led Huo Sijiao inside, heading to the largest room on the top floor.

Looking at the distinctive door, Huo Sijiao asked, "Did you bring me here to see the snow, or to get a room?"

Xie Xubai pushed open the door, "What do you think can happen in a room like this?"

The room was large, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. Surrounded by snow-covered pines, the view was indeed beautiful.

The fireplace was burning, and a small stove emitted a crackling sound from the charcoal.

A pot of fine Dahongpao tea was brewing, steam swirling around.

The best scenery was in front of the largest window, with soft rugs laid out. Sitting there, drinking tea, eating snacks, and watching the snow was delightful.

Huo Sijiao looked around and noticed there were indeed no curtains for privacy.

This kind of room couldn’t be used for anything inappropriate.

She took off her coat and placed it aside, changed into the slippers prepared in the room, and walked into the warm space, even the floor felt warm underfoot.

Very comfortable.

The room had a faint fruit fragrance, along with the sandalwood scent from Xie Xubai.

She walked briskly to the soft rug and sat down, leaning against the glass to watch the snow falling outside.

"It’s so beautiful."

Turning her head to see Xie Xubai still standing at the door, she said, "Come over quickly, weren’t you here to watch the snow?"

Xie Xubai walked over to sit beside her, the kettle on the stove bubbling with steam.

"Is this the popular kettle tea from online?" Huo Sijiao said softly, "But today I don’t feel like tea, I kind of want to drink. Such scenery goes well with wine."

Xie Xubai sat cross-legged facing her, looking very elegant.

The room’s warm yellow lights and the fireplace’s glow cast shadows on his side profile.

He said, "Do you trust me to be a gentleman too much, or are you deliberately giving me a chance?"

"Your Xie Family’s reputation is quite respectable, I trust your character. I’ll drink just a bit, I won’t get drunk tonight." Huo Sijiao said lightly, looking at the snow outside, "I just want to say goodbye to my past self."

The silly Huo Sijiao who chased after Shen Xuanzhi died with the first snow in the Imperial Capital.

From then on, a space in her heart was left empty.

Xie Xubai didn’t dig deeper, simply picked up the phone to ask the owner to send over some wine.

Soon, the owner brought the wine over, knocked, and left it as he exited.

Xie Xubai took out a wine glass, placed it in front of her, poured a small amount, and brought over some snacks from the food box to her side.

"It’s plum wine."

Huo Sijiao immediately recognized the aroma.

Xie Xubai took a sip and said, "You’re lucky, the owner makes excellent wine. Fruit wines are low in alcohol, it’s hard to get really drunk from them."

"Xie Xubai, I didn’t misjudge you. You really are a gentleman."

Huo Sijiao finished her drink in one gulp and poured herself another.

Her tolerance was average, yet her craving was intense.

One glass after another.

Xie Xubai reached out to press her glass down, "Drink less, it’s not good for you."

Huo Sijiao turned, a faint hint of alcohol in her voice, "If I don’t hurt my body tonight, my heart will ache. You said fruit wine doesn’t make you very drunk, so let the alcohol numb my pain a little. I feel really uncomfortable; have you ever seriously loved someone?"

"Not yet."

Huo Sijiao sighed at his words, "Then you’re quite lucky. Tonight, I used the excuse of delivering a gift to go see Shen Xuanzhi."

With some wine, she lost a bit of her usual restraint.

She didn’t even realize that since Xie Xubai appeared tonight, she hadn’t treated him with the same politeness as before.

"Shen Xuanzhi is really going to marry Guan Jingtan. It turns out he really disliked my previous persistence. So, I made my own decision to return that two hundred thousand to him, which must have seemed like an insult to him. His pride is strong, no wonder he detests me..."

Her voice trembled a little, sounding aggrieved.

"It turns out he likes someone gentle and beautiful like Guan Jingtan. We’re completely different types."

Huo Sijiao had a lot she wanted to get off her chest.

Xie Xubai looked at the snowflakes drifting outside, fully understanding Shen Xuanzhi.

Being a man, he naturally understood the stoicism of men.

He could have selfishly kept it to himself, but seeing Huo Sijiao so distraught, he decided to speak: "Shen Xuanzhi didn’t hate you, on the contrary, he had a bit of affection for you."

"Affection?"

Huo Sijiao was stunned, "Which eye saw him liking me? He was even impatient to say more than a word or two with me."

"Shen Xuanzhi feels inferior in front of you, he carries a blood feud."

"And he suits Guan Jingtan?"

"Yes." Xie Xubai rose slowly, browsing through the side cabinet, "They each have their needs, using each other. He doesn’t truly like Guan Jingtan..."

Huo Sijiao felt her heart clench.

She frowned tightly, her eyes tinged with redness: "He wants revenge on the Lu Family, and my brother and sister-in-law also target the Lu Family. Can’t we be suitable? Why did he choose..."

"Because your feelings for him are too pure, mixed with any interest would be a desecration."

Xie Xubai walked over to her, casually kneeling on the rug, took her right hand into his.

He spread her palm open.

There was a wound scratched at the Guan Family’s doorstep, with traces of blood at the break.

Huo Sijiao just watched him, the two being so close. The faint scent of sandalwood was stronger now, mingling with the warm aroma of fruit wood.

It was addictive.

She couldn’t help but lean closer, sniffing again, her bright eyes glancing at Xie Xubai.

She watched as he set the small first aid kit aside, taking out an alcohol wipe to dab at her palm.

"Ow!"

Huo Sijiao sucked in a breath, the intoxicating feeling dissipating.

"That hurts! It’s like marinating meat with alcohol." Huo Sijiao blew on her palm vigorously, "Actually, you don’t need to treat such a small wound, it’ll scab over by tomorrow."

Xie Xubai set the alcohol wipe aside, "It’s safer to disinfect. Your brother entrusted your safety to me, so this is part of my duty."

"What benefits did he give you? Collaborative projects, or another conspiracy?"

Xie Xubai’s lips curved slightly, his jade-like face showing grace and calmness, "Some benefits that satisfy us both."

Huo Sijiao didn’t mind, as she sat on the rug finishing the bottle of fruit wine.

Meanwhile.

In the deep night, snow covered the branches. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The phone placed on Qiao Xi’s bedside suddenly lit up.
