Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 685 She Got Jealous
Chapter 685: Chapter 685 She Got Jealous
The sound insulation of the office is actually quite good, it’s just that the girl’s voice and her laughter were a bit too loud.
Like a chirping lark, crisp and pleasant.
Qiao Xi felt a subtle change in her heart.
In the end, she still reached out and knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
Huo Xingzhou’s voice came from inside, and even the girl’s laughter subsided.
Qiao Xi pushed open the door and saw that there were only two people inside the office.
The girl on the sofa was holding a cup of coffee, dressed very fashionably. She wore a high-end Chanel light pink dress inside, casually draped with a trench coat outside. Her figure was slim but well-proportioned, and a pair of high leather boots accentuated her thin and straight legs.
Her face was pure and clean, with exquisite makeup.
Her long, thick black hair hung down, smooth and glossy.
Qiao Xi scrutinized her, feeling somewhat familiar.
Upon seeing her, the girl enthusiastically smiled and said, "Brother Huo, is this sister-in-law?"
She stood up, walked over to Qiao Xi, and praised, "Sister-in-law, you’re really beautiful. I’m Xia Sisi."
Xia Sisi?
The most popular pure actress in the entertainment circle, no actress of the same type can compete with her. She has been in the spotlight in the entertainment industry since she was young, debuting as a child star.
Her acting skills are outstanding, full of spirit.
She has a great reputation, and a cheerful temperament.
The fans she’s accumulated over the years follow her loyally, with never a hint of scandal.
No wonder she looked familiar.
Qiao Xi smiled, nodding and saying, "Hello, I’m Qiao Xi."
"Sister-in-law, I’ve heard about you a long time ago. I’ve been hoping to get an appointment with you to diagnose my pulse one day, but Brother Huo hides you so well that I haven’t had the chance to meet you." Xia Sisi complimented her as soon as they met.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Xingzhou on the other side of the office.
Huo Xingzhou stood up, took long strides to her side, took the thermos container from her hand, and explained, "Tianyuan Group is selecting a new spokesperson, and Miss Xia is one of the candidates. Her brother is Xia Yong’an, whom I’ve mentioned as Xiang Mingzhu’s attending physician."
"So that’s the connection."
Qiao Xi thought it was another character like Xu Xingluo.
This Xia Yong’an was someone Huo Xingzhou met while studying abroad. She had heard him mention him.
Xia Sisi, being perceptive, saw that the couple had something to discuss, so she spoke up: "I’ve delivered my message, so I’ll head back first. I won’t disturb your couple time."
Huo Xingzhou said lightly, "Old Chen, see her out."
"Yes, young master."
Old Chen followed Xia Sisi out, gently closing the office door behind them. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The spacious office was left with just Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou.
She took the thermos container back from Huo Xingzhou, uncovered it, and took out all the food inside, placing them on the coffee table.
"These are just some simple dishes, stir-fried garland chrysanthemum and corn rib soup. Have some easy-to-digest food." Her tone was neither cold nor warm as she handed him a bowl of dumplings, "These were made by Xiaoyun; I cooked a few while I was at it."
Huo Xingzhou took the small bowl of dumplings but didn’t eat them, instead placing them aside.
He walked over to the sofa, looking down at her with a slight grin, and gently scratched her chin with his finger, "Who upset you?"
Qiao Xi looked up, those almond eyes gazing at him pure and clear: "I’m not upset."
Huo Xingzhou slowly leaned down, his deep and indifferent eyes carrying a faint smile, his tall nose almost touching hers.
Their breaths intertwined.
His voice slightly hoarse.
"You’re radiating displeasure all over."
Qiao Xi slowly blinked and met his gaze, "Brother Huo? I didn’t think you had such a beautiful sister."
The air was filled with a sour note.
Huo Xingzhou’s lips slightly dipped as the corners of his eyes lifted.
"Jealous?"
"Not jealous."
"Still won’t admit it?" He gently nibbled at the corner of her lip, "Is it that hard to make me happy?"
That photo of hers had made him jealous countless times.
Qiao Xi tightly pressed her lips together, feeling his warmth still lingering at the corners.
She spoke with a low voice, "Just a little."
Huo Xingzhou pinched her cheek with a laugh, "She’s Xia Yong’an’s sister, conveying a message. In honor of him, I agreed to let her try for Tianyuan Group’s spokesperson, it’s a kind of exchange."
A spokesperson for a group can indicate being valued by senior management.
In the entertainment circle, it also represents a kind of network, so many award-winning actors and actresses are competing for Tianyuan Group’s spokesperson.
Qiao Xi asked, "You didn’t directly decide on her?"
"Just giving her a chance, in the end, it will depend on each’s capability."
Qiao Xi slightly pursed her lips, looking at him.
But among so many spokespersons, he met only Xia Sisi, and Xia Sisi called him Brother Huo. If... those senior executives value Huo Xingzhou’s opinion, the position of the spokesperson could very well be Xia Sisi’s.
They say it depends on capability, but... there will be biases.
"Brother Huo."
She called out word by word.
"Still sour." Huo Xingzhou sat next to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, "It doesn’t matter what others call me, but only you can call me husband. You’ll always be different from others."
His eyes slightly dimmed.
Next time, he won’t let Xia Sisi call him that. He knew she wanted to use it to deepen senior management’s impression of her, favoring her.
Speaking of which.
He took out his phone and dialed a shortcut number, saying, "The selection of Tianyuan Group’s spokesperson will only consider character and personal business ability, nothing else. No one’s connections matter, not even mine. I hope you all maintain fairness and justice in this matter, so as not to affect the company’s image in society."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.
Huo Xingzhou turned his head and glanced at her, "What’s the matter? Did you really think I’d play favorites? I have some understanding of what you’re thinking about."
The last bit of misunderstanding in Qiao Xi’s heart disappeared.
She visibly brightened with happiness.
"Have some soup." She pushed the corn rib soup in front of him with some eagerness, "Working all day, my husband’s also hungry."
"Sweet talker."
Huo Xingzhou drank from the bowl of soup and praised, "Not only is your mouth sweet, but the soup is good. Compared to Xiaoyun’s, it has a different flavor."
The smile on Qiao Xi’s face grew, and she scooted closer to his side, saying, "I made a scene at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association today, already brought Cheng Qingnian home! She’s staying next to Grandpa Cheng now. If we can cure her... that would be great."
"Our Little Divine Doctor is really amazing."
Qiao Xi’s ears slightly flushed: "You can praise me less, but today the Lu family father and daughter were fuming! Especially Lu Yingxue, I even took the opportunity to get her hair! Just right for a parent-child verification with Cheng Qingnian."
Huo Xingzhou nodded, "Well done. But there’s a tough battle to fight tomorrow, bear with it a few more days."
"Will tomorrow be a big scene?" Huo Xingzhou doesn’t say this kind of thing easily, making Qiao Xi’s heart skip a beat.
