Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 686 He Lied to Me

"Very big."

Huo Xingzhou slightly lowered his brow as he spoke, "Bigger than the Zhong Family engagement banquet, bigger than the Guan Family birthday banquet. Those who come are all people from the business world, as well as some notable figures from the Imperial Capital. The top tiers from various circles will be there, a mix of personalities."

Qiao Xi’s lips felt dry.

"Is the top floor of the Tianyuan Building in the Imperial Capital big enough to hold that many people?"

"Underestimating your husband, are you? The entire top floor is connected, and the food and drinks are delivered by the hotel. There’s even a sky glass garden up there, covering a large area. Everything is in place; the person who built this building thought it through very well at the time."

Qiao Xi asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"Be a good supporter for me, and accompany me to make an appearance tomorrow. Let everyone know that the apprentice of National Doctor Cheng Han, the champion of the Acupuncture Tournament, is my wife."

Qiao Xi gently pounded his shoulder, saying, "You’re so full of yourself."

"You’re outstanding; can’t I boast a little?"

Qiao Xi looked at his clear and handsome brows, but her heart felt slightly sour: "Huo Xingzhou, do you think we’ll make it to the end?"

If one day they suddenly stopped loving each other, or if either of them did something that upset the other, would they go their separate ways?

It’s hard to imagine a world for her without him.

Huo Xingzhou heard this and deeply gazed into her eyes, "As long as you’re willing, we can."

"Then, it’s a promise."

...

The parking lot on the basement level two of the building.

Xia Sisi opened the car door and got in; she put on sunglasses and instructed the driver to return to the company.

While taking out her phone to dial her agent’s number.

"Hello, Sister Dong. I just came out of President Huo’s office, and I’m confident that all the executives on that floor saw me. This opportunity was hard to come by from my brother’s connections, and I thought I’d never have the chance to link up with the Huo Family again, but who would have thought..."

Xia Sisi’s innocent face was full of shrewdness, "I will definitely secure the endorsement for Tianyuan. With my brother’s ties with President Huo, there will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet in the future. My family is just an ordinary middle-class, still needing to find a wealthy backer."

"Don’t worry, I won’t make a move without complete confidence. I’m not like those shallow women outside."

What she wanted was fame and fortune; anything else could be sacrificed.

"Is President Huo henpecked?"

She seemed to hear a joke, "That Young Madam Huo does keep a tight watch on him, I admit their relationship is quite good. But I never thought of replacing her."

Xia Sisi understood very well what she needed to do.

"I already got the invitation for tomorrow’s Tianyuan Group event. It was originally for my brother, but he’s too busy with work, so I’m taking over."

After reporting the situation to her agent on the phone, she hung up.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, she remembered their first meeting abroad years ago.

A breathtaking figure flashed in her mind.

Ultimately, they came from mismatched backgrounds.

But who would have ever thought a girl raised in the countryside would take the position of Young Madam Huo? If at that time she could have let go of her skyrocketing career for the Huo Family...

Xia Sisi shook her head.

That Young Madam Huo possesses unparalleled medical skills; without her, there wouldn’t be today’s Huo Xingzhou.

So she doesn’t covet that position but needs a wealthy backer.

Otherwise, this consuming entertainment industry, with new talents emerging every year, would swallow her.

She must climb to the top and establish herself firmly.

Now she needs Huo Xingzhou’s support, she can moderately give a little of her all.

After all, when a man is tired of a full meal, he’s willing to have some simple porridge and vegetables.

This reasoning, she understood well since she was in her early teens.

...

Early the next morning.

Qiao Xi got up and first went to the third floor; she pushed open Cheng Han’s room door.

The bodyguard inside quickly said, "Young Madam, I kept watch here last night. The old gentleman hasn’t woken up, but he hasn’t had a recurring fever either."

Qiao Xi measured temperature with a thermometer; normal temperature for now.

Worst feared is a persistent high fever.

"It was tough on you; go and rest. I’ll perform acupuncture for Grandpa Cheng."

"Okay, Young Madam."

Qiao Xi unfolded the needle kit, took out the long needle and gently spoke while penetrating Cheng Han’s acupuncture points.

"Grandpa Cheng, you need to get better quickly. I’ve brought your daughter back, but her condition isn’t very good right now. I’m also at a loss; it would be better if you were here."

Grandpa Cheng definitely would have a way to cure narcolepsy.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and applied another needle.

A moment later.

Noise came from the room next door, along with the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

Qiao Xi stood up and hurriedly ran out, still holding the needle in her hand. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

The bodyguard anxiously said, "Young Madam, next door..."

"She has woken up?"

"Yes! After waking, she panicked and kept saying she wants to go home."

Qiao Xi’s face turned serious: "Guard the corridor on the third floor, no one is allowed to come in. I’m going to check!"

She pushed open the door, and the skinny woman inside was unaware. She stumbled about, knocking down many pieces of furniture, looking chaotic, sometimes shouting, sometimes muttering.

"Go home! This... where is this!"

"Lu... Lu."

Her cheeks were hollow, and those eyes seemed a bit frightening. Her hair was disheveled; her face was ghostly pale.

She clearly panicked upon seeing Qiao Xi.

The whole person shrank into a corner, cautiously and curiously watching her.

Qiao Xi attempted to approach, but she reached out wanting to grab something to throw.

"I won’t come closer, don’t be afraid."

"Who are you..."

Her speech was unclear, years of sleeping and isolation caused her language skills to deteriorate significantly. It required careful discernment to understand what she was saying.

Qiao Xi stood more than a meter away and patiently asked, "Do you remember Cheng Han?"

Narcolepsy patients, after years of sleep, tend to have memory loss.

Clearly, Cheng Qingnian had trouble remembering.

Her eyes showed some dull confusion.

"Cheng Han?"

Qiao Xi remembered when she entered the room, she was shouting the word "Lu."

She forgot Cheng Han, but the surname "Lu" was the only thing she remembered; was she still thinking about Lu Bannong?

Qiao Xi tried to approach, poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside table next to her, then took out medicinal pills from the drawer saying: "Take the medicine, if you want to get better, you have to be obedient. I’m your attending doctor now, don’t be afraid."

"Medicine..."

Cheng Qingnian wasn’t resistant to the idea of taking medicine.

Her instinctive reaction was also to wish her sickness to recover quickly.

She held the pill and swallowed it directly, then drank down water in big gulps.

"Finished."

Qiao Xi pressed her lips together, tentatively asked, "Do you remember... Lu Bannong? You were just calling ’Lu...’"

"Lu Bannong!"

Cheng Qingnian screamed out the name, "Lu Bannong! I remember Lu Bannong! He’s a liar!"

That name seemed to be etched in her bones.

So, seeing the unfamiliar environment and not seeing Lu Bannong made her so frantic.

Lu Bannong!

Cheng Qingnian’s eyes clearly glowing with resentment.

"He’s a liar! He’s a hypocrite!"
