Chapter 392: Chapter 392: They Don’t Love You, I Do

After a long while,

Qiao Xi looked up at the man beside her, "The broadcast you wanted me to watch with you, is it the Liu Family’s press conference?"

"Yes."

Huo Xingzhou responded, brushing the stray hairs behind her ear as he spoke, "After the birthday banquet, your relationship with the Liu Family could no longer be hidden. I intended to take things slowly, but I didn’t expect someone to purposely set the rhythm and tarnish the image of the true daughter of the Liu Family.

People’s stereotypes are severe. Once rumors spread unchecked, others will assume that you are as terrible as they say."

Qiao Xi looked at him with clear eyes, "Then let them talk. Those people don’t know me, they have no idea what kind of person I am."

"But I can’t bear for them to speak about you like that. You are clearly such a good person, and I don’t want the person behind the scenes to succeed."

Qiao Xi was cheered up by his coaxing, "There’s someone behind the scenes? Who is it?"

"Xiang Mingzhu."

Huo Xingzhou said softly, "But her goal is simple, to disgust you and drive a wedge between you and the Liu Family."

"It is indeed a bit disgusting. I always felt her relationship with Young Master Zhong was strange, seemingly close yet distant. Yesterday, it was Young Master Zhong who forced her to apologize to me, but was Young Master Zhong really doing it for the sake of collaboration?" Qiao Xi frowned.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at her, thinking naturally not.

Zhong Yi was trying to get her face back, and Xiang Mingzhu was probably being toyed with too.

But Huo Xingzhou wouldn’t clarify everything to Qiao Xi, only saying, "The situation online isn’t severe; the Liu Family managed to nip it in the bud quickly. They acted very promptly this time."

Qiao Xi asked, "Are you speaking in favor of the Liu Family?"

Huo Xingzhou laughed saying, "Actually, at the initial selection of the major competition, Old Mrs. Liu personally visited several seniors. She hoped that they would compete fairly, absolutely no rigging. The Liu Family doesn’t want you at a disadvantage."

Surprise flashed across Qiao Xi’s face.

She didn’t know about this.

"Qiao Xi, I know what bothers you the most."

He clasped her slender fingers and said, "You are bothered that Liu Huimin has favored Xu Xingluo for so many years and targeted you for her. I know my Little Divine Doctor, you want exclusivity, you wouldn’t want people or things others have handled."

"They may not favor you, but I favor you."

Qiao Xi sat beside him, suddenly leaning in and kissing his thin lips, "Yes, I appear fragile and non-confrontational, but I am extremely domineering."

A low, shallow laugh spilled from Huo Xingzhou’s throat as he took control

And pressed her passionately against the floor-to-ceiling window for a kiss.

The evening sunlight was tender, covering the couple, with light dancing around. Qiao Xi’s hands were held tightly, pressed against the glass warmed by the sunlight, and her back was warm.

Her heart was sweet.

Amid her rapid breathing, she said with difficulty, "This is the office."

The old Huo Xingzhou was extremely restrained at the company; no matter how out of control, he would never go this far. Today, he showed no signs of stopping.

His voice was slightly husky, "I have no appointments this afternoon, and an extra resting room has been installed in the office."

"But..."

Qiao Xi struggled to find it, only to discover next to the bookshelf another door cabinet that blended in with the shelf, essentially a hidden door. This resting room was probably made by breaking through to the neighboring unused office and converting it directly into a resting room.

Truly concealed!

She hadn’t noticed it before.

"When did you... have it modified?" her voice trembled.

"The resting room, it was modified a while ago."

His eyes darkened, eyebrows lowering.

His expression was filled with tenderness, his voice slow, "The thought, came to me last night."

Yesterday.

When he knew she was his lifesaver.

He was almost willing to break all his principles for her.

What restraint!

What control!

What situation!

He probably wouldn’t be able to manage the surging emotions in his heart for a while.

"Qiao Xi, you have no reason to stop me from offering myself."

A lifesaving grace, offering oneself.

Day by day, night by night.

...

Bang!

In a high-end suite of a five-star hotel in Haicheng,

A glass was thrown in front of the TV cabinet, shattered pieces scattered everywhere, even the LCD screen of the television was cracked at a corner.

Xiang Mingzhu’s face darkened.

Her beautiful face was full of spite.

"Qiao Xi, you are lucky!"

Xiang Mingzhu had always been bitter about the results of the preliminary selection of the major competition. Last night, she heard about Qiao Xi’s background, and she went mad with jealousy!

Liu Huimin’s daughter!

That was too significant!

She had just insulted Qiao Xi’s humble origins, and immediately after, she was proven wrong—a slap that hurt badly!

To facilitate the cooperation with Tianyuan Group, Young Master Zhong even made her apologize. Xiang Mingzhu unwillingly apologized and couldn’t sleep in the hotel all night!

So, impulsively in the middle of the night, she paid someone to cause trouble online, seeking to drive a wedge between Qiao Xi and the Liu Family.

From yesterday’s banquet, it was clear that Qiao Xi’s relationship with the Liu Family was very special, definitely not like kin. Adding Xu Xingluo’s previous misdeeds.

Xiang Mingzhu was sure, Qiao Xi absolutely hadn’t forgiven the Liu Family!

So she added fuel to the fire!

She didn’t expect the Liu Family to actually hold a press conference, lifting Qiao Xi up!

Is this still a top privileged family?

Just for a Qiao Xi, even the Family Head made a statement, humbling themselves to the dust!

Bang!

Xiang Mingzhu smashed another set of teaware.

Knock knock.

The doorbell of the hotel room rang.

"Who is it?"

Xiang Mingzhu called out irritably, shuffling over in her slippers to open the door.

"Police."

The two officers in uniform said, "Are you Ms. Xiang Mingzhu? We received a report that you’re suspected of paying to incite trouble online and damage someone’s reputation. Please come with us for questioning."

"What?"

Xiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, quickly reacting, "You’ve made a mistake, I didn’t do such a thing."

"We will judge that. Now please come with us. We will not wrongly accuse an innocent person." This Haicheng officer was unyielding and not intimidated by Xiang Mingzhu’s status.

After all, their arrest of Xiang Huai was very decisive too.

Xiang Mingzhu never expected that paying for an online mob could land her in jail.

In the Imperial Capital, even if she had injured someone, they could settle afterwards, nobody would deny face to the Xiang Family.

Who would take carrying the tune online seriously!

The Liu Family was eager to protect Qiao Xi and actually made it real!

Xiang Mingzhu was taken away directly!

After an investigation and three days of detention, she also paid a fine.

...

The next day.

Haicheng was dreary with continuous rain, and the temperature had dropped a bit. The dust in the air was swept away by the rain, even the mood didn’t feel as agitated.

At 8:30 in the morning,

Qiao Xi arrived promptly at the hospital entrance and saw a crowd gathered.

Just as she got out of her car and was about to bypass them, she heard a nurse mention Nurse Shu.

Qiao Xi stopped, moved closer, and peeked.

She saw a man and a woman.
