Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Little Confused Egg!
“During the divorce cooling-off period, it’s best we keep our distance,”
His eyes and brows were cold, his thin lips drained of color, and his words were icy.
Qiao Xi’s eyes felt sore, and her voice choked in her throat, “I am a doctor. I don’t need to keep distance from a patient. Can we discuss this after I’ve treated your illness, okay?”
She had proposed the divorce, so she deserved his wrath.
“I’ll go find Aunt Qian for help.”
Qiao Xi quickly left the study and hurriedly called for Aunt Qian to help take Huo Xingzhou back to the master bedroom.
Huo Xingzhou lifted his eyelids, his chilly gaze falling on her retreating figure.
This time, he was determined to properly tame this little stubborn donkey’s temper.
Aunt Qian came upstairs and helped Huo Xingzhou into the room.
His back was soaked with cold sweat, Aunt Qian brought a set of silk pajamas and handed them to Qiao Xi, “Young Madam, the young master feels sticky and uncomfortable. You should wipe his body and change his clothes later, it will be more comfortable. The stomach medicine is also here.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Xi nodded as she held the soft pajamas.
She looked at the man half-lying on the bed, poured a cup of warm water for him, and placed it by the bedside.
“Stomach medicine only treats the symptoms, not the cause. Mr. Huo, I’ll give you acupuncture, and after a month of treatment, your stomach ailment will be cured.”
He didn’t answer, and his eyes were half-closed. The dim yellow light from the bedside lamp shone on his side face, making him look even colder.
Qiao Xi took out a medical box, and spread out the needle pack which were the Golden Needles Mr. Huo had specifically auctioned for her.
She removed all of Huo Xingzhou’s clothes, revealing his fair skin with distinct muscles.
She twisted a long needle into the Renmai Acupoint, Zusanli, and Neiguan Acupoints, facilitating the flow of Qi through the stomach, heart, and chest, and relieving pain. She supplemented this with acupoints Taichong and Qimen.
These two acupoints indicated that the liver’s energy was affecting the stomach.
She raised her eyes to look at him. His liver energy was blocked, his emotions were not smooth, and it was making his stomach pain worse; he was truly very angry.
Needles eliminate the ailment.
Less than ten minutes after she had begun the acupuncture, Huo Xingzhou felt the pain in his stomach fade and gradually return to normal.
Setting other things aside, her medical skills were indeed very clever.
Qiao Xi inserted the nine needles into his body, then used warm water to wring out a towel and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Huo Xingzhou turned his head, staring at her, and said, “Should a doctor also wipe the patient’s body? Which parts? The entire body?”
Qiao Xi felt guilty.
She spoke softly, “Let’s get you into the pajamas first, it will feel more comfortable.”
Huo Xingzhou’s demeanor was very cold as he said, “I can do it myself.”
He had been exceptional since he was a child, always able to find a way out even in the most desperate situations. However, Qiao Xi was someone who particularly troubled him.
She couldn’t even provoke a response when beaten with a stick.
Following his words, Qiao Xi handed him the pajamas.
The man changed his clothes right in front of her.
“Mr. Huo, since you’re all right now, I’ll head back to my room,” she said.
Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist and asked, “Which room will you return to?”
Qiao Xi explained forcefully, “You are sick; I’ll sleep in the next room. So you can have a more restful sleep at night.”
Huo Xingzhou scoffed, “How considerate of you. Let’s make things clear. You didn’t take that fifty million, so are you divorcing me because you’re afraid I’ll lose half of my wealth?”
Qiao Xi bit her lip, struggling in her eyes.
“Yes.” In the end, she still agreed.
Huo Xingzhou almost laughed in irritation, “Have you ever seen any absurd agreement that could take away hundreds of billions of my wealth? Guess why Xu Guangyao didn’t dare to threaten me with the agreement but went to look for my foolish father?”
She was too infuriating.
After listening to him, Qiao Xi shook her head.
She didn’t understand their roundabout ways.
She was just an exceedingly ordinary person, unfamiliar with the ways of the upper class.
“Because he’s afraid of me,” Huo Xingzhou said with a touch of scorn in his eyes and brows, “So what if it’s notarized? Isn’t he still like a dog cornered by me! Do you think that if someone presents an agreement, I must comply?”
A lawsuit could be dragged out for a year or more.
During that time, he could certainly force Xu Guangyao to drop the lawsuit and not dare to covet another cent.
“Is it still possible to go back on it?”
Qiao Xi’s eyes widened in surprise as she asked hesitantly.
“Why can’t you? Qiao Xi, the world isn’t just black and white,” he earnestly taught her the ways of high society survival, “Mutual benefits can solve many troublesome issues.”
Huo Xingzhou never took that agreement seriously.
The trickery Xu Guangyao played was all low-level and shameful.
Qiao Xi’s throat was dry as she asked in a soft voice, “So, Mr. Huo, you can completely handle this matter?”
“Don’t underestimate me too much,” Huo Xingzhou looked at her, his eyelashes fluttering.
Qiao Xi was parched and tongue-tied.
It was as if a drum was incessantly beating by her ear, and in an instant, her emotions overwhelmed her reason. She really wanted to take back her words on divorce, but the pictures she saw that night kept flashing through her mind.
Extremely ambiguous.
He had spent the night with Xu Xingluo.
The thorn in her heart just couldn’t be pulled out.
“Qiao Xi, I will give you one last chance. Do you want to take back the divorce application?” His eyes were pitch-black, his voice low.
Qiao Xi’s hands were tightly curled, her fingers entwined together.
Her nerves were taut.
The word “yes” simply couldn’t be uttered.
Did she really deserve to stand by his side?
After a long silence, the air in the room was as taut as a string. Huo Xingzhou’s gaze was downcast as the corner of his mouth revealed a sneer that was neither a smile nor a mockery.
He said, “Qiao Xi, if you let go of my hand this time, you will never enter my heart again. Can you bear that?”
Qiao Xi looked at him, her eyes brimming with moisture.
She finally spoke in a choked voice, “Mr. Huo, I… don’t threaten me.”
Huo Xingzhou’s voice cooled with a hint of warning, “Don’t you dare cry.”
Qiao Xi pushed back her tears, her eyes reddening as she said, “But that night, I couldn’t reach you by phone, and I saw those photos of you with Xu Xingluo. I don’t know… how I should face you now.”
“Mr. Huo, it pains my heart for you. But I am so selfish, I just can’t get over that hurdle in my heart.”
Having said that, her tears broke through the dam.
Before Huo Xingzhou could react, she ran out sobbing.

In the room.
Chill filled the depths of Huo Xingzhou’s eyes.
What photos?
There were still photos!
This little tight-lipped trickster only let on now.
All this time she knew, she thought he had spent the night with Xu Xingluo, that he was drugged and taken advantage of, she pitied him and felt his pain.
Idiotic fool!
He picked up his phone and called Old Chen, “Those documents I had you print last time, deliver them, one copy to each place. And don’t forget to send one to the Xiang Family; I think they will be quite pleased to see this situation unfold.”
As he became irritated, he thought no one else should have it easy either.
The accounts would be settled slowly.
He was looking forward to tomorrow’s drama.
As for Qiao Xi, let her suffer for another night.
He was in no rush to explain; she didn’t cherish it when people did, let her learn the hard way.
Let her agonize through the night.
…
The next day.
Xu Xingluo got up early, having received news. Yesterday, Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi had applied for divorce, and she felt invigorated. If only there were no cooling-off period for the divorce.
A country bumpkin like Qiao Xi wanted to compete with her.
After all the twists and turns, Huo Xingzhou still belonged to her.
She applied a beautiful makeup, preparing to go out and enjoy herself.
But just as she stepped to the door, she froze completely.
A piercing scream tore through the sky.
