Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 454: The Unique You

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Unique You

Wan Jiang felt wronged.

"Young Master Zhong, how can you make me take the blame? Miss Xiang is really a viper!"

"Isn’t that what subordinates are meant for, if not me then who?"

Zhong Yi spoke with unrestrained expression, "Aren’t subordinates meant to take the blame? Aren’t you completely loyal to me?"

"I most certainly am loyal."

"That’s good."

Zhong Yi watched the passing scenery outside the car with a carefree look.

In his relationship with Xiang Mingzhu, he had to ensure it was watertight. Although Xiang Mingzhu was easy to control, she was also a ticking time bomb. One couldn’t guarantee that nothing would provoke her.

He couldn’t let others know that he was involved with Xiang Mingzhu.

Although the Xiang Family was one of the Four Great Families, the Lu Family father and daughter were much harder to deal with than the Xiang family father and daughter.

The alliance between the Lu and Zhong Families was also ambitious, striving to be among the Four Great Families. He absolutely couldn’t let both the Xiang and Lu Families occupy the spots of the Four Great Families, otherwise, one day they would swallow up the other families, becoming an immovable giant.

Instigating.

Internal division.

Getting the Xiang and Lu families to fight each other.

The best method was to incite discord between the cousins, allowing Qiao Xi to benefit from the test during the big event.

This method wouldn’t cause any serious harm, it was merely the expenditure of a few sweet nothings and an empty position of Mrs. Zhong.

Zhong Yi didn’t even want to touch Xiang Mingzhu.

"Wan Jiang, tell them I won’t attend the Guan Family old master’s birthday banquet tomorrow."

"Young Master Zhong, something is definitely going to happen at the banquet tomorrow. Are you just going to ignore it?" Wan Jiang didn’t truly believe he wouldn’t go.

A strong emotion hidden in his eyes, Zhong Yi spoke softly, "She’s more capable than I imagined, yet I always feel she’s still the child who would cry from a cut on the hand. Besides, I need to avoid her..."

From the rearview mirror, Wan Jiang caught a glimpse of his yearning look.

Hearing about what happened at Ruisa Mall, he drove half the city to get there. The car stopped under the steps of Ruisa Mall for half an hour, only seeing Xiang Mingzhu.

Clearly, he was there to meet that person.

Yet he claimed it was on his way, and had invited Xiang Mingzhu into the car to thoroughly inquire about some information.

Hearing Xiang Mingzhu cursed someone as cheap, he immediately turned her away and drove her out of the car.

Ironically!

Wan Jiang couldn’t imagine the Young Master Zhong, who came out from the brutal battles of the Zhong Family, also had a gentle side.

If the Elder Master and Young Lord found out...

Then the heavens would surely turn!

No wonder Young Master Zhong dared not let anyone notice.

...

This day.

It spread throughout the upper circle.

Qiao Xi had caught the favor of Master Irina, and the "Cinderella" dress from the Goddess Descends series of designs was actually a gift for Qiao Xi. And that private studio on the top floor of Ruisa Mall, would be forever open for Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi could freely choose any of Master Irina’s designs.

Envying many women.

Anyone with sharp eyes would realize this was Huo Xingzhou’s doing.

It was his way of caring for Qiao Xi.

That once cold-blooded and ruthless business tycoon of Haicheng actually doted on a woman to such an extent, fulfilling many women’s fantasies.

It also deterred many people.

Qiao Xi wasn’t someone they could bully at will, even in the Imperial Capital!

She was the Young Madam of the Huo Family, the beloved jewel of the Liu Family!

She had many people supporting her from behind, didn’t you see how even Xiang Mingzhu had a hard time in front of her?

In the evening.

Qiao Xi had dinner outside with Young Master Sun, then they rode back to the affluent area’s Garden Villa.

Young Master Sun couldn’t stand the boring nights of the Imperial Capital and found an excuse to elegantly make his escape.

Qiao Xi sat on the large swing in the garden surrounded by many precious flowers. The evening breeze gently fluttered, a warm breeze carrying the faint scent of flowers passed by as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

It was refreshing.

That dress representing love, "Cinderella," was incredibly dreamy.

Her heart was filled with joy.

Qiao Xi took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then made a video call to Huo Xingzhou.

He seemed not to like voice calls.

The call quickly connected, showing a man’s stern face. Even the random angles of a cell phone’s camera could display the Creator’s favor, he was really handsome.

However.

Qiao Xi only found him somewhat stern.

She didn’t suspect anything and said with a beaming smile on the other side of the camera, "I received the Cinderella dress. Master Irina must have been supporting me for you. Thank you, hubby."

Her voice was sweet and soft, excessively sugary.

Huo Xingzhou’s lips curled, "You’re welcome."

"What are you doing? Haven’t you left work yet?" Qiao Xi observed his background, which seemed to still be in his office.

Huo Xingzhou’s sharp eyes scanned around.

The conference room was deathly silent.

The entire finance department of Tianyuan Group was here for a meeting and just had been severely reprimanded by President Huo. He said their department was inefficient, unable to even clear the accounts, nor could they allocate more funds.

Even Vice President Zhou, who wanted to plead for them, got a severe scolding.

They almost thought they were going to be fired.

Just then.

The sound of a phone vibrating in the meeting room cursed them to wonder who was so foolish to not mute their phone during a meeting, angering today’s great devil and they were all doomed.

But it turned out to be President Huo’s own phone.

He picked up the phone and his expression went from stormy to partly cloudy.

His tone of voice was particularly gentle.

It didn’t take any thought to know it must be the lady boss from far in the Imperial Capital who was calling, saving their life.

They didn’t dare to breathe as they listened to President Huo on the phone, his eyes and brows melting like snow.

Married men are really something!

Bullying them, most of them are single dogs, selling themselves for the company!

What could make him so happy?

Those among the higher-ups who were nearby could faintly hear Qiao Xi’s voice.

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze fell back on the phone screen, his eyes crinkling with a hint of a smile, "Still at the office. Do you like that dress?"

Qiao Xi nodded vigorously, "I love it! It just seems very valuable, being the only Cinderella in the world."

"One-of-a-kind things should belong to one-of-a-kind people."

Qiao Xi was utterly charmed by his words, yet felt a slight sadness, "It’s a pity, you can’t see me wearing this dress."

She really wished he were by her side.

"You will."

Huo Xingzhou said lightly.

"Hubby, I miss you."

Qiao Xi paused, a coquettish "I miss you" melting hearts. Hearing the noise, several of the higher-ups showed envious, jealous, hateful looks.

President Huo’s wife was not only an apprentice to the National Doctor, skilled in healing and saving people, but also so gentle and cute in private.

What luck!

Zhou Yu, sitting next to him, was really unable to endure Huo Xingzhou’s public display of love.

He was so jealous that he couldn’t help but pop his head out towards the phone screen, giving Qiao Xi a fright!

"Hi, Sister-in-law!"
