Chapter 468: Chapter 468 I Miss You, Crazy about You

With that sentence, he probed deep into her heart.

Qiao Xi looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes, brimming with unshed tears, and murmured, "Yes, I have."

The tips of his fingers caressed her shoulder, making Qiao Xi feel as though she had been electrocuted.

She wore a strapless gown, her shoulders bare, and under his scrutiny, she inexplicably felt her face heat with blush.

"How much do you miss me?"

He wanted an answer.

Although his heart was far from calm, he still restrained his urge and flirted with her.

He wanted to see more expressions on her beautiful face, wanted to hear more words filled with love from her mouth.

He wanted to hear her utter those heart-stirring romantic words.

He wanted to see this prudish girl lose her composure before him.

Qiao Xi said softly and earnestly, "I’m crazy about you."

The man seemed pleased by her response, "How crazy?"

Qiao Xi’s plump red lips parted, "I even dream of you. Day and night, I think of you."

Her gaze fell on his slightly upturned lips; she closed her eyes and moved to kiss him.

In her dreams, she did the same, which was utterly absurd.

It was something she found hard to speak of.

Yet, Huo Xingzhou deliberately pulled away, causing her kiss to miss.

Under Qiao Xi’s puzzled and stunned gaze, he asked, "What did you dream about me?"

That was what he cared about the most.

In her dreams, it was him.

Her dreams were not about the nightmares concerning Zhong Yi but were filled with him instead.

It seemed that in the past, they were too close to feature in her dreams. Now, after a few days apart, such a realization had emerged.

Qiao Xi bit her lip, her voice even softer, "I just dreamt of you, nothing else."

The man didn’t believe it.

His eyes stared at her, as though he had seen through everything.

Qiao Xi’s cheeks grew even redder as she defended, "Honestly, nothing happened. I just simply dreamt of you."

It was just the hormonal influence of her ovulation period, which also made it hard for her to control dreaming about him and doing some excessive things.

"Did you dream about Ayi?"

The man was persistent on this matter, wanting to make a distinction.

Qiao Xi shook her head; it had been a long time since she last dreamt of the day Ayi died. She couldn’t recall exactly how long ago it was.

Huo Xingzhou’s lips curled imperceptibly, his eyes softening tenderly.

With a smile hidden in his voice, his thin lips kissed the corner of her lips, "In your dreams, did I kiss you like this?"

Qiao Xi’s breath hitched.

"Did I hold you like this? Or did we do more?"

"Huo Xingzhou."

Qiao Xi softly called out, gently pushing against his chest, "I just remembered, I have something very important to do."

She still needed to find that book "Plum Blossom Nine Needles" and see what secrets it held.

Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and blocked her lips with a scorching kiss.

Qiao Xi felt somewhat suffocated by the kiss, her mind going blank.

"The sky could fall, and I still wouldn’t let you go."

He had thought about this for a long time.

His movement didn’t stop, his grip firm and fingers interlocking with hers, his lips and teeth secretly stirring her nerves. His fingers wandered, gently pulling down the zipper at the back of her dress.

"Qiao Xi, I was really looking forward to seeing you in this dress."

The entwined kiss transitioned into a gentle peck, making Qiao Xi’s head spin.

She could only hear his voice seeping into her ears, with not a moment’s sanity to think, much less remember to resist.

He said, "I’d much rather take it off myself."

"They all get to appreciate you in this dress, but only I can watch you take it off."

A fierce possessiveness.

Unrestrained.

The room was serene and emotional.

...

In the living room on the first floor, Young Master Sun and Old Chen were feasting.

"Xiaoyun, this braised pork you’ve made is really authentic; I love the sweet taste. The fatty and lean parts of the pork belly are balanced so well—it’s delicious!" Old Chen took a bite and felt the flavor linger, something he wouldn’t forget for days.

Young Master Sun’s lips glistened with grease. "So tasty, so tasty! How are your cooking skills so good?"

Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I have specially studied culinary arts. This braised pork is a dish I learned from a master chef of the Su-style cuisine. Eat less tonight, both of you, to avoid indigestion."

Young Master Sun couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. Delicious!

Despite having eaten at the Guan Family banquet, he couldn’t resist the aroma.

Huo Xingzhou even has such high standards for hiring maids; their salary must be very high!

"Where are the two of them?"

Sun Weimeng shook his head, "Why does everyone disappear as soon as we get home? Huo Xingzhou looked so handsome tonight; I wanted to gossip with him. There were so many incidents at the Guan family’s birthday celebration, and I have a lot to say."

Old Chen poured him a glass of liquor. "Young Master Sun, whatever’s on your mind, tell me. Braised pork goes well with liquor; what’s mine is yours!"

"It’s no fun talking to you. Old Chen, you’re a bachelor; you wouldn’t understand me."

A figure fragrant as orchids and cinnamon crossed his mind, and he immediately felt melancholy.

"Old Chen, do you think if I offered to marry into the Guan family, they would accept me?"

Old Chen shook his head without hesitation. "No."

Sun Weimeng said angrily, "Do I really have no good qualities?"

Old Chen thought hard and could only find one quality. "You have one: you’re shameless."

Nothing else.

Sun Weimeng felt deflated. "They don’t even want me as a son-in-law; do I really stand no chance?" he lamented, his mind filled with the stunning image of Guan Jingtan.

She was so beautiful!

Girls could be noble and elegant without losing their spiritedness.

The Gua’erjia Clan was renowned for its beauties, and rightfully so.

Old Chen patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Young Master Sun, what’s so good about being a son-in-law? You’d always be at the mercy of others. The Guan family is strict with their ancestral teachings, valuing loyalty and face. You wouldn’t be able to abide by their rules. Let’s forget about it. Come, let’s drink our sorrows away!"

"Who says I can’t abide by rules! For love, I’m willing to sacrifice everything."

Sun Weimeng regretted his frivolous past spent among flowers. Otherwise, with his fairly handsome looks and considerable wealth, he might have been accepted into the Guan family.

But now she was as unreachable as the moon, and he was just a toad.

Pathetic.

He downed the liquor in one gulp, the alcohol burning his throat, and he felt like crying.

"Old Chen, fill it up! Keep the drinks coming!"

...

The night deepened.

But the Imperial Capital was not peaceful.

In the Banshan Qiushui Villa Area of the Imperial Capital, the Xiang Family’s home was brightly lit.

The entire European-style detached villa was situated in a scenic area of the Imperial Capital, exuding luxury and status.

At that moment.

The living room was filled with fine wine. Xiang Hai, the Family Head of the Xiang Family, and his beloved daughter, Xiang Mingzhu, were drinking, celebrating in advance the upcoming marital union with the Guan family.

Xiang Hai had a rugged face; he took a sip of red wine and said to Xiang Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, after resolving your brother Xiang Ze’s marriage, next up is yours. What do you think of Lu Yan?"

Xiang Mingzhu put down her wine glass, disdain in her eyes. "How is Lu Yan worthy of me! I will decide my own marital matters."

Xiang Hai’s face turned stern as he cautioned, "You are a member of the Xiang family, and family interests come first. Your marriage must benefit the family."

Xiang Mingzhu pouted, "Don’t worry, I’ll choose the best."

When she wins the Plum Blossom Nine Needles competition and ends up with Zhong Yi, it will shock them all!

The father and daughter were conversing.

A servant rushed in, his voice frantic, "Family Head, Miss. A large group of angry people has arrived; they seem to be from the Guan family."

Xiang Hai remained unperturbed and set down his wine glass.

"It’s normal for them to come when you’ve touched their daughter’s heart. In the end, the two families will have to sit down and seriously discuss the marriage. Let’s go meet our future in-laws."

Xiang Hai was overjoyed; the Guans coming in anger meant his plan was succeeding!

It was a good omen!
