Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 180 - I Only Lied to You in Bed
Chapter 180: Chapter 180 I Only Lied to You in Bed
Chapter 180 -180 I Only Lied to You in Bed
Seeing Huo Xingzhou so composed, Xiang Huai ground his molars again and emphasized, “Whoever reaches the finish line wins, regardless of the rules, regardless of life and death. The consequences are your own responsibility. Fleeing the field will be seen as forfeiting.”
His gaze coldly fixated on Huo Xingzhou’s legs, hoping once again for him to become disabled so that Xingluo’s attention would never fall on him again. How did Huo Xingzhou not die in the car accident back then?
Now, he had caused him to lose business and also failed to obtain the woman he wanted.
He had no choice but to stake everything on one throw of the dice!
“Fine, I’ll take responsibility for the consequences.”
Huo Xingzhou’s expression was indifferent, calm and collected.
Standing beside him, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but grab his arm, her face full of worry.
Huo Xingzhou patted the back of her hand and said softly, “It’s alright.”
“But…”
“Qiao Xi, trust me.”
“Alright,” said Qiao Xi helplessly, knowing she couldn’t change his decision.
Xiang Huai immediately found a professional lawyer to draft a detailed agreement based on their verbal bet and had it notarized.
This bet agreement was legally binding.
Xiang Huai took the agreement, signed his name in the bottom left corner, and pressed his thumbprint.
He handed the agreement to Huo Xingzhou and said, “If you hadn’t gone too far, we could still be friends.”
Huo Xingzhou spoke calmly, “It’s a dog-eat-dog world in business. Without Tianyuan Group, another company would have snatched up the Zhong Family’s lucrative deal. Did the Xiang Family really think they could secure the Zhong Family’s orders just through personal connections? Isn’t that too naive?
Business should be compassionate, but it shouldn’t rely solely on compassion.
It was the Xiang Family’s own fault that they lost the order.”
Huo Xingzhou took the pen and signed his name.
He looked up, a trace of coldness flickering in his eyes: “Besides, haven’t you stopped considering me a friend long ago?”
Ever since he returned to Haicheng, from the moment he targeted Qiao Xi.
Xiang Huai clenched his teeth and said coldly, “Just make sure those legs of yours don’t end up crippled again.”
“Don’t worry, once the agreement is signed. If I die, it’s none of your concern,” Huo Xingzhou responded indifferently, as if he didn’t regard life and death of any consequence.
The lawyer spoke up, interrupting their conversation, “Please both change into your clothes and protective gear. I will record the entire match as evidence.”
After he finished speaking, Huo Xingzhou led Qiao Xi to the changing room.
Xu Xingluo followed a few steps behind them and called out, “Brother Xingzhou. Your legs have been injured and such vigorous activity is not suitable for you. I’m very worried about you, please don’t compete with Brother Xiang.”
Qiao Xi tightened her grip on Huo Xingzhou’s hand and said, “Miss Xu, if you truly cared about Mr. Huo, you should have spoken out when Xiang Huai proposed the contest. He listens to you, he certainly would have agreed.
Bringing this up now is like a weasel paying respects to a chicken. Are you out of your mind?”
Qiao Xi’s face was thinly veiled with frost as she forcibly pulled Huo Xingzhou into their private changing room.
With a snap, she closed the door of the changing room.
It was evident that she was really angry.
Huo Xingzhou touched his nose and a slight smile played across his lips.
Qiao Xi took all the clothes out of the locker and handed them to him: “Change your clothes.”
The situation had reached a point of no return.
Huo Xingzhou took them and touched the soft top of her head, saying, “Actually, my equestrian skills are not bad.”
Qiao Xi frowned and looked at him angrily, “Your body has suffered serious injuries, and your legs have just recovered. Horse riding isn’t suitable for you, and he said he would play dirty.”

There was too much uncertainty.
Xiang Huai was full of tricks, and at Qing Lake, he arranged for her to fall into the water, yet he and Xu Xingluo both emerged unscathed.
A twinkle of amusement passed through Huo Xingzhou’s eyes: “In your heart, am I a very upright person?”
“Of course!”
“I’m going to disappoint you then, I’m full of cunning and deceit. If he plans against me, I can strike back.”
Qiao Xi pouted and said discontentedly, “Who talks about themselves like that?”
He clearly was as bright and noble as the luminous sky.
Huo Xingzhou laughed softly, and in front of her, he slowly took off his clothes and changed into his riding gear. The tight-fitting outfit highlighted his physique completely.
Very eye-catching.
Broad shoulders and a narrow waist, truly a male dog’s waist.
“This race has no rules, and I’ve brought Old Chen with me. He can take on ten by himself.” he whispered.
As long as Xiang Huai made a dishonest move, Old Chen would intervene.
A sentence reached Qiao Xi’s ears, stirring up ripples in her calm heart.
She looked up at him intently, mouthing the words silently between her lips, no rules.
Then she…
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
The couple walked out of the changing room hand in hand.
Xiang Huai was already waiting in the field, holding a brown horse that looked quite impressive.
The racetrack was crowded with people eager to watch the excitement. They had heard that the betting stakes here were incredibly high. The parties involved were Huo Xingzhou and Xiang Huai—who wouldn’t want to watch such an event!
Zhou Yu, even while romancing at the racecourse, couldn’t help but curse when he heard.
He held Shu Xue’s hand, hiding in the crowd to watch.
Seeing Huo Xingzhou appear, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
“Huo Er has gone mad! He’s not long recovered from his legs’ injuries, how could he race Xiang Huai!” Zhou Yu then shook his head and added, “No, he never fights a battle unprepared.”
He must be confident.
If today Huo Xingzhou won, the Xiang Family would withdraw from next year’s bidding. Then, the Zhong Family’s orders would still end up with Tianyuan Group.
This news getting out, Tianyuan Group’s stocks would definitely soar tomorrow!
The stock market is just like this, a bit of wind makes the rain, and a little rumor can create huge waves.
Zhou Yu was mumbling, they were on site to witness this wager, catching the news firsthand.
So he pulled out his phone, buying more shares!
Shu Xue spoke softly, “It’s all your fault, you said they wouldn’t come! Qiao Xi must be very worried about Huo Xingzhou. I don’t even know how to go comfort her. Zhou Yu, what are you doing?”
Zhou Yu, without looking up, continued buying more shares: “Good thing today isn’t the weekend, I can still operate the stocks. Listen to me, hurry and buy Tianyuan’s stocks, we’ll definitely make a fortune tomorrow!”
This was no longer just a simple horse race!
It related to the market value of Tianyuan Group.
Shu Xue uncertainly asked, “Really?”
Zhou Yu casually said, “I’ve only ever lied to you in bed.”
Shu Xue gave him a look, thought for a moment, and then opened the app on her phone, biting her lip as she followed suit and bought two hundred thousand yuan worth of penny stocks.
This was all her savings.
If she lost, she would kill Zhou Yu.
After they finished their transactions, they sneaked away, leaving the racecourse to avoid being spotted by Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi.
Compared to Zhou Yu’s roundabout way of getting rich, others on the scene started betting openly.
It was extraordinarily lively.
“Come on, place your bets!”
Wealthy young masters are all about exciting diversions to pass the time.
Considering Huo Xingzhou’s possibly compromised physical condition and Xiang Huai’s confident initiation of the wager, they boldly set the betting odds.
Xiang Huai’s odds were 1.1, while Huo Xingzhou’s were 2.8.
“Hurry up, it’s about to start!” the prodigal son shouted aloud.
“I bet on Xiang Huai winning!”
“Xiang Huai! Two hundred thousand!”
“I also support Xiang Huai, one hundred thousand!”
A young man in a pink shirt pushed through the crowd and slapped a check on a makeshift camping table, saying, “Ten million, betting on Huo Xingzhou to win!”
