Chapter 429: Chapter 429: She Scorns Fighting Over Men

Qiao Xi’s actions shocked everyone present!

Especially those who had previously looked down on traditional Chinese medicine, they were all stunned and their attitudes changed instantly.

"Doctor Qiao, could you also take a look at us?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine has always focused on health and conditioning. Can you check if there’s anything wrong with my health? If not, could you prescribe a Health Preserving Prescription? I’ve heard that Mr. Cheng’s prescriptions are amazingly effective."

"Yes, we’re not afraid of acupuncture!"

Suddenly, Qiao Xi became the center of attention. They all gathered around her, even pushing Huo Xingzhou to the side.

These renowned architects all extended their hands, wanting Qiao Xi to feel their pulses and prescribe treatments.

Which architect doesn’t have little health issues?

It was an offer she couldn’t refuse!

Qiao Xi raised her voice and said, "Everyone, please don’t rush. I can check your pulses. Please line up and come one by one. It’s my honor to serve you all, distinguished guests who have traveled from afar to contribute to the Future City project."

"Okay."

These designers with strong personalities all obediently formed a line, even Xie Liuzheng joined in the excitement.

Qiao Xi felt each of their pulses one by one, finding most of them had minor issues with blood and qi or digestive problems. She only gave acupuncture to those whose conditions were a bit severe.

For the other designers, she advised on dietary matters according to each person’s constitution.

It was finally Xie Liuzheng’s turn. She extended her clean but somewhat rough hands towards Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi greatly admired Miss Xie, who had also advanced women’s status in the field of architectural design.

Truly impressive!

Xie Liuzheng, with a broad smile and relaxed expression, said, "Doctor Qiao, if I’m not mistaken, you and Zhou Yu’s current girlfriend must be good friends, right?"

"Hmm?" Qiao Xi looked at her, puzzled.

Xie Liuzheng was very candid. "Please give her my apologies. Today caused a misunderstanding between us; Zhou Yu and I haven’t been in contact for many years. My return to the country was solely for the Future City project; it’s impossible for Zhou Yu and me to have any personal contact beyond work."

She did not want to cause any trouble.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi appreciated her even more.

"Alright, I will definitely pass your message to her."

"Thank you."

Xie Liuzheng’s face always showed a relaxed and confident smile, which was very comforting to see.

Qiao Xi bowed her head, seriously feeling the pulses, looking at Xie Liuzheng’s calloused and scarred hands, thinking she must truly love architectural design!

Some architects are experiential and will visit construction sites to participate in construction and supervision.

Such a person would not stoop to fighting over a man!

...

Standing outside the crowd, Zhou Yu watched the bustling scene around Qiao Xi and clicked his tongue twice, saying, "Your wife is really capable! Some of these designers are quite difficult to handle. I just got snubbed while chatting with them."

Huo Xingzhou’s mouth curved up, his stern face showing a hint of gentleness, "She is indeed capable."

Zhou Yu felt a pang of jealousy, "Stop flaunting your love in front of me, I’ll end up jealous."

Thinking of how Huo Xingzhou had deliberately assigned him to manage the Future City project, he was furious!

"Huo Xingzhou, that was really low of you. You purposefully had me deal with these designers, causing problems back home."

Zhou Yu was deeply frustrated, "Do you know how bad Shu Xue’s temper can be? I don’t even know how to appease her."

Huo Xingzhou watched indifferently, "If you had handled everything properly, why would you need to soothe her? This mess is of your own making."

"But I..."

"Zhou Yu, without my intervention, you and Shu Xue would’ve faced issues sooner or later because you’ve never truly let go of Xie Liuzheng."

"I have let go!"

"Then why haven’t you moved out of Biyuan? And why did you panic upon hearing she was returning to the country?"

Zhou Yu’s face turned red, "That’s because she said she’d never return to the country. Since she didn’t keep her word, why was she so decisive when she dumped me?"

He took a deep breath, "I’ll move out of Biyuan and marry Shu Xue as soon as possible."

Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, "You sound very reluctant saying these things. You still need to be reminded to see what’s inappropriate about yourself."

He knew Zhou Yu had been reckless for a few years, and he was sincere towards Shu Xue, but sometimes he subconsciously treated Shu Xue like those casual flings.

But he treated Xie Liuzheng differently!

He was always serious with Xie Liuzheng, not dismissive or perfunctory, and he didn’t think that just sweet-talking would make someone change their mind.

Zhou Yu clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, "But Shu Xue is also in a rush to get married, maybe she sees me as a lifeline to appease her parents."

He did love her, but in the matter of marriage, he felt it was his own compromise and tolerance.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and warned, "Handle your own affairs, and stop bothering my wife."

Both of them felt they had made sacrifices for each other, and it was unbearably painful.

Huo Xingzhou walked over to the sofa. Qiao Xi had just finished her busy pulse diagnosis. After disinfecting the long needle, she looked up at him with a smile.

"Have you finished talking with Mr. Zhou?"

"Yeah, it’s all settled here. Let’s head home."

Huo Xingzhou extended his warm hand, grabbing her wrist and leading her out. The designers all said their warm goodbyes to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi’s eyes and smile were warm, her almond-shaped eyes twinkling with a subtle light, and she was in a great mood.

"Young Madam, Young Master, please get in the car," Old Chen said as he opened the car door.

They got into the car one after the other; Qiao Xi settled into the soft leather seat before she felt a wave of post-excitement fatigue.

She took a deep breath, feeling completely content.

"So happy? I saw you weren’t in a good mood earlier," Huo Xingzhou handed her a cotton and linen pillow, making it easier for her to use her phone.

Light shimmered in Qiao Xi’s eyes as she opened her lips slightly, "They later addressed me as Doctor Qiao, Ms. Qiao, instead of just Mrs. Huo. They also said that traditional Chinese medicine is really amazing and that it has changed their views on it."

She felt acknowledged and also a sense of achievement.

Just as Xie Liuzheng had said, she didn’t want to be just an appendage to Zhou Yu.

Qiao Xi also wanted to be herself, not just a decorative vase by Huo Xingzhou’s side.

Huo Xingzhou unbuttoned his suit jacket, his hands casually crossed, "They respect you, and I get to bask in your glory."

"Really? So today, it was you who basked in my glory?"

Qiao Xi’s lips glistened like they were tinted with rouge, captivatingly opening and closing.

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes darkened, his fingers unconsciously touched her lips as he leaned in closer and said,

"The ’Little Divine Doctor’ solved a big problem for me. Normally, those designers with their haughty and unique personalities were tamed by you; they will undoubtedly dedicate themselves more to the Future City project, even Zhou Yu said they were troublesome."

Qiao Xi was even happier hearing this.

But mentioning Zhou Yu, she felt uneasy and asked, "Did you intentionally arrange for Zhou Yu to manage this project? The project manager for Tianyuan Group is supposed to be Jin Kai."

"Yes."

"And you knew about his situation with Xie Liuzheng?"

"Yes."

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, "This arrangement will hurt Shu Xue deeply."

"It’s better for her to be hurt now than after getting married. As long as she and Zhou Yu haven’t registered their marriage, she still has choices. Pain is good for her reflection. She’s your friend, and I don’t want you to worry too much. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be so meticulous."

Huo Xingzhou’s investment insights were sharp, and he was spot-on about other people’s feelings.

"Thank you, my dear husband."

Qiao Xi tilted her head slightly, planting a kiss on his fingertips.

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes half-closed, his heart filled with sweetness and a hint of jealous probing, "Zhong Yi has returned to the Imperial Capital."
