Chapter 492: Chapter 492: He Gambled His Life for Family Bond

He’s lying!

How could it not hurt.

But Qiao Xi didn’t speak, afraid that once she did, it would be an uncontrollable choke.

She took out the disinfectant alcohol swab and dabbed his wounds little by little.

Xu Yunye clenched his fists, his knuckles strained as he endured the stinging pain.

Yet he didn’t make a sound.

Qiao Xi’s tears nearly rolled down.

His behavior could only mean one thing.

He was used to it!

"Whoa!"

Sun Weimeng bared his teeth and cried out in surprise, breaking all the warmth and sentimentality.

He rested his hands on his chin and raised his voice: "Xu Yunye, you’re really badass! Saying it doesn’t hurt and not even screaming when the alcohol goes on! Damn!"

"You’re freaking talented! I thought we were goners tonight, but you actually made a comeback from the brink! That Lu Yan actually received an invitation from Glory Club, what about you?"

Sun Weimeng’s face was full of gossip.

Xu Yunye calmly stated, "TN Club once invited me to be a racer."

"So you’re the number one racer in the Chinese racing scene! Bad luck for Lu Yan! Why didn’t you join the club?"

"Maybe because I don’t really like racing," Xu Yunye said, his eyes downcast, looking somewhat desolate.

Sun Weimeng became even more curious: "If you don’t like it, how did you master that move? The way you flew past Lu Yan?"

Qiao Xi also looked at him curiously.

Xu Yunye was silent for a while before he softly said, "Maybe it’s for the longing of something I shouldn’t have. No talent can beat recklessness..."

Sun Weimeng, who was doted on by his parents, couldn’t understand the meaning behind his words, but Qiao Xi did.

Xu Yunye was using his own life as a bet, trying to gain the affection of Liu Huimin and Xu Guangyao.

But it seemed he got nothing.

Some people spend their lives healing the wounds of their childhood.

What Xu Yunye longed for was just familial love.

Qiao Xi gently pressed the gauze onto his wound, wrapping it around and around.

At last, she poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Xu Yunye, saying, "Second Brother, drink some water. Your lips look very dry..."

Xu Yunye suddenly looked up, staring at her: "What did you just call me?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes were brimming with a glowing smile: "Haven’t you always wanted to be my brother? Then I’ll reluctantly agree."

"I should have been your brother all along, having been called that for so many years by Xu Xingluo, I couldn’t change it. I don’t want to be her second brother, but I’m willing to protect you wholeheartedly. You’re my only sister."

Xu Yunye said earnestly.

Qiao Xi’s eyes reddened slightly, "If you don’t truly enjoy racing, can you promise not to participate in such dangerous competitions in the future? We... are all worried about you."

"Okay, I promise you."

Xu Yunye was very obedient.

Sun Weimeng clicked his tongue twice: "Such a pity. Xu Yunye, I will fulfill my promise to give you ten million."

Xu Yunye, with a hint of show-off, said: "Transfer it to my sister for her pocket money."

Sun Weimeng sarcastically said: "Your sister makes billions in one night, does she need your ten million? Don’t brag to me, although I don’t have a genius doctor sister. But my relationship with Qiao Xi is deeper than yours! Qiao Xi, am I right?"

Xu Yunye also looked at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi forced a dry laugh, knowing that choosing either side would be wrong.

"It looks like Xiaoyun’s night snack is ready. I’ll go and take some to Xingzhou."

She quickly made an excuse and left.

Sun Weimeng chuckled: "She’s closer to me, sorry to break your heart."

Xu Yunye glanced at him coldly: "Qiao Xi and I were born of the same mother, we have a telepathic connection. In this world, no one can be closer than we are, not even Huo Xingzhou."

Sun Weimeng made a face: "Say that in front of Huo Xingzhou, let’s see how he deals with you."

A hint of darkness flashed in the depths of Xu Yunye’s eyes.

He was somewhat bothered by the fact that Qiao Xi had once married the stranger Huo Xingzhou to cheer him up, which had been unfair to her. Moreover, it seemed that his uncle and brother-in-law had some unresolved issues.

Elsewhere.

Qiao Xi took a tray with the night snack upstairs, Xiaoyun had prepared a bowl of clear soup with small wontons and a bowl of bird’s nest. It’s not good to eat greasy food late at night, these were perfect just to fill the stomach.

As she passed by the study and saw no lights on, she went straight to the master bedroom.

Qiao Xi gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom.

Strange.

It was also dark here.

She flicked on the switch by the door, and the master bedroom lit up.

Only then did she notice the man sitting on the single sofa with his hands casually crossed on his lap.

He turned his head toward her when he heard the noise, and the coldness in his dark eyes seemed to melt away.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Have you dealt with the downstairs?"

Qiao Xi placed the tray on the coffee table in front of him and said, "It’s dealt with. Why didn’t you turn on the lights?"

Huo Xingzhou extended his hand to pull her into his embrace, sitting her on his lap, his voice very light: "I just wanted to sit quietly for a while after coming back from the study, forgot to turn them on. Anyway, I knew you would turn them on for me."

His head buried deeply in her neck, he could smell the grapefruit scent of her moisturizer.

Qiao Xi asked softly, "Were you upset on the way back just now?"

"Mm."

He responded, his voice sexy.

"Why?"

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was low: "Because I wanted to share my joy with my wife, and someone with no foresight tried to get into the car. And, of all people, it’s someone I can’t just curse at."

A smile lingered on Qiao Xi’s pretty face: "Why would you even be jealous over that? I actually feel sorry for him. Despite his glitzy appearance, his life is harder than mine. I never knew Xu Yunye’s racing was driven by a death wish. From now on... I will treat him better."

Huo Xingzhou held her tighter: "No matter how good you are to him, you can’t cross the line with me. But considering he stood up for you tonight, I’ll let it slide. I didn’t expect him to do such a crazy thing."

Qiao Xi’s tone was gentle: "I thought you knew everything, very impressive."

The man kissed her cheek softly, "Tonight, you were the impressive one. Bringing backup to hold the ground, and evening the score at the gambling table. On their home turf, yet you didn’t lose an ounce of momentum."

Qiao Xi turned to meet his gaze eye to eye: "Huo Xingzhou, I don’t want to always be a drag on you. I wish that one day you could be proud of me."

"You already have," he said.

His passionate kiss landed at the corner of her lips, full of lingering and intense love. His large hand slid behind her as he whispered, "Shall we go to the bed?"

He seemed particularly eager tonight, perhaps seeing another side of the person he loved made it hard for him to restrain himself.

Qiao Xi quickly put her hands against his chest, creating some distance between them.

Her lips still shimmered with a moist gloss as she spoke, "Not yet, I have a gift for you."
