Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 172 - Qiao Xi Will You Have an Affair
Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Qiao Xi, Will You Have an Affair? Chapter 172 -172: Qiao Xi, Will You Have an Affair? Qiao Xi blinked slowly, not comprehending.
She didn’t understand how the man had restrained himself at such a crucial moment.
Her eyes brimmed with moisture, her voice soft and husky, “What account?”
They didn’t have any unsettled accounts!
“Did you meet Xu Yunye at the clinic today?” The man’s fingers caressed the skin on her back, preventing her from moving any closer.
“Mm.”
She hummed in response, staring absentmindedly at the red mole on his neck. The heat of her body, wave after wave, was urging her to find a solution.
“He held your hand and seduced you to change husbands?” His voice was hoarse and barely recognizable, yet he maintained his composure throughout.
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xi was so shocked that she lifted her dewy eyes to look at him, “It’s all a misunderstanding! Nothing happened between him and me; he said that to remind me that Xu Xingluo won’t let things go easily.”
“We haven’t had the slightest hint of flirtation, who tattled to you!”
She felt so wronged.
“Jiaojiao said it, telling me to keep an eye on you, not to let anyone steal you away,” he said, his fingertips warm as they reached the base of her spine. His brows were furrowed, and the corners of his eyes carried a hint of sentiment and danger.
“Will you have an affair? Hmm?” His tone was incredibly seductive, his lips landing on her shoulder.
Gentle kisses, time and again, brushing against her sensitive spots.
Qiao Xi wanted to kiss him back but was stopped by him, insisting on a definite answer.
She looked pitiful, tormented by desire to the point of death!
“I won’t, Mr. Huo,” she said with a faint sob.
The inkiness in his eyes surged with intensity as he spoke, “I don’t object to you having normal interactions with the opposite sex, just avoid improper behavior. People with bad intentions like Xu Yunye, minimize contact.”
“Okay.”
Even if Huo Xingzhou hadn’t mentioned it, Qiao Xi wouldn’t have had much contact with the Xu family anyway. She’d find an opportunity in a few days to discharge Xu Yunye from the hospital.
Du Juan had warned Qiao Xi before, her son was domineering and ruthless at heart, a man of strong possessiveness, and a hidden patriarch. On the surface, he was self-disciplined and aloof, but he was like a dragon fervently guarding his treasure.
Not allowing anyone to touch it, not even slightly!
Qiao Xi tentatively moved closer, kissing his red mole.
This time, he didn’t refuse.
A room filled with love.
During their intimate moment, she stretched out her hand to cover his eyes, saying shyly, “Mr. Huo, don’t look at me.”
He restrained her hands, whispering softly, “I want to look at you, and you must also look at me.”
Only look at him.
Watching each other merge together, possessing each other.
With hearts and eyes full only of the other.
…
The next day.
Qiao Xi got up early and left, as there was much to do at the clinic, and she had to sacrifice her sleep. Aunt Qian got up to make breakfast and just happened to see her leaving.
By the time Huo Xingzhou came downstairs, breakfast was already prepared.
Aunt Qian placed the simple breakfast on the table, staring at Huo Xingzhou several times, and couldn’t help but point at his neck.

“Young Master, it’s too obvious on your neck,” Aunt Qian spoke frankly.
“Where?”
Huo Xingzhou cracked open a boiled egg, leisurely peeling the shell and asked.
Aunt Qian said, “Wait here, I’ll go get you a mirror.”
Aunt Qian returned to her room, took a small round mirror, and walked over to the dining table to hand it to Huo Xingzhou, “Young Master, take a look at yourself! Going to the company like this may not be appropriate, it quite undermines your authoritative image.”
Huo Xingzhou took the mirror, and soon the handsome brows and eyes of the man appeared in it, the two unbuttoned buttons of his shirt revealing his neck completely.
The red mole on his neck was right by his Adam’s apple.
At this moment, it was glaringly red and somewhat swollen.
It was sucked out!
Anyone with eyes could tell what it was, and imagine how intense the previous night had been.
“Shall I go to the Young Madam’s dressing table to find some concealer to cover this up?” Aunt Qian suggested.
Huo Xingzhou handed the mirror back to her and said, “No need to trouble yourself, let it be.”
“Well… if you say so!”
Aunt Qian didn’t persist. With such an obvious mark, it might even deter the flocks of frivolous admirers outside!
Huo Xingzhou’s eyes briefly swept over to the vase of Eucalyptus Flowers by the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window and said, “What flowers are these? They seem to have been blooming for quite a while.”
He seemed to remember seeing these kinds of flowers everywhere in Moon Village.
This bunch of Eucalyptus Flowers had been blooming for nearly a week.
Aunt Qian had only learned from Huo Sijiao’s mouth what they were called last night, and the two of them had looked up their meaning online as well.
“Eucalyptus Flowers! They were brought by the Young Madam from the clubhouse the day she went to her farewell dinner, seems like they’ve been open for a week now! The Young Madam changes the water and adds nutritional solution every day, but they should wither in a couple of days.”
“Hmm.”
Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, “Since she likes them, from now on, order this type for the house’s floral decorations.”
“Sure thing!”
Aunt Qian couldn’t help but add, “Young Master, do you know what the language of the Eucalyptus Flower is? My tenderness is only for you. I don’t love the myriad things in the world; I favor only you. I didn’t expect the Young Madam to have such a sentimental side.”
The corners of Huo Xingzhou’s mouth curved into a smile.
He had read Tagore’s “Stray Birds” when he was younger and knew Tagore’s line “The Eucalyptus has found the Shihua Bird, I love nothing in the world so much as you.” Yet, he didn’t expect the Eucalyptus’s flower language to match its meaning so closely.
After a quick breakfast, he asked Old Chen to drive him to Tianyuan Building.
…
Meanwhile, near Tianyuan, on the bustling streets, Cheng Acupuncture had already opened its doors.
Qiao Xi controlled the number of online appointments, reducing them to thirty each day, and urged patients only to come to the clinic once they had secured an appointment to avoid a wasted trip.
Only then did the clinic start to run on the right track, functioning in an orderly manner.
“Doctor Qiao, we can finally take a breather,” Jiang Yue said with a wry smile. “I’ve been preparing medicine all morning, and the patients say it’s more convenient to take the medicine from our clinic rather than brewing it at home.”
Qiao Xi consoled her, “You’ve worked hard. My mother-in-law said she would hire some more help for us, and you’ll be able to take a holiday and get some rest then.”
“Thank you, Doctor Qiao! But are you really the lady boss of the Tianyuan Building next door? The local merchants were gossiping and asking about it,” Jiang Yue said.
Qiao Xi smiled and replied, “Yes, Mr. Huo is indeed my husband.”
“I really admire you! You could be living the life of a wealthy wife, yet you choose to dedicate yourself to medicine, truly worthy of being the disciple of the National Doctor!”
A glimmer crossed Qiao Xi’s eyes; this had been her dream since childhood, and now she also had another goal.
She very much wanted to stand at a height where she could be on par with Mr. Huo, to climb up step by step and rightfully stand by his side. To let everyone know they were a match, and that she wasn’t just dragging him down.
“I’m going to check on Grandma; you guys handle things here for a moment,” Qiao Xi said softly.
“Doctor Qiao, about your grandma… there’s someone with her right now,” Jiang Yue said, seeming troubled.
“Who is it?”
“You’ll know when you go see.” She couldn’t stop him at all this early in the morning.
The Young Master had already been inside for several hours, hadn’t he?
