Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 510: Lie Down Properly

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Lie Down Properly

Qiao Xi groped at thin air!

Amidst the dim lighting and hazy vision, she misjudged the distance between them.

She couldn’t reach Huo Xingzhou with her outstretched hand.

Her hand fumbled a few more times, clutching only at air.

The corners of Huo Xingzhou’s mouth bore a faint smile as he approached her. His white bathrobe was open, his voice low and seemingly enticing: "What do you want to do?"

Qiao Xi drew back her fingers, curling them into a fist as she said, "Nothing at all."

It was the alcohol that went to her head, and his muscles that dazzled her eyes. Never before had she openly and boldly felt the sensation of a belly to this extent.

But she vaguely sensed it was firm and strong.

Huo Xingzhou took her wrist, pressing her palm against his abdominal muscles: "There’s no need for politeness between us. If you want to touch, go ahead..."

Qiao Xi’s cheeks blushed slightly, her plump, lustrous lips tightly pursed.

Her fingers tentatively prodded once.

Then another poke!

Huo Xingzhou worked out regularly but didn’t chase after sculpted muscles. His muscles were a thin layer, more aesthetically pleasing. Qiao Xi didn’t fancy the bulky type, whose bulging muscles looked a bit intimidating.

This physique was just right.

His abdominal lines were also very well-defined.

Qiao Xi’s fingertips were warm as they gently caressed.

A man’s body was indeed much sturdier than a girl’s.

She became addicted to it!

She reached out and poked again!

The man stood right in front of her, his slightly elongated eyes becoming deeper and more somber. His breathing was controlled, but every inhale and exhale amplified the contraction of his abdominal muscles.

His voice was husky: "Done playing?"

Qiao Xi shook her head. Her bones felt lethargic, as if they were relaxed by the medicinal liquor. Half-leaning on the sofa, her delicate fingers drew circles on his body.

"Qiao Xi."

The man caught her mischievous hand, leaning over to trap her between the sofa and himself.

Qiao Xi blinked slowly, her voice soft and muffled: "Hmm?"

With a touch of confusion.

The man’s fingers lightly traced over her soft waist, causing her to shiver.

"What are you doing?"

She nearly jumped out of her skin, feeling a shock mixed with a tickling sensation.

"Do to you what you just did to me."

He caught both of her hands with one hand, and with his right hand, he tickled her waist.

"Ah! Stop, it tickles!"

Qiao Xi squirmed, "Stop scratching! You know I’m terribly ticklish!"

Her laughter was so intense that tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "Huo Xingzhou! Let me go..."

Huo Xingzhou ceased his actions, his thin lips touching the corner of hers, their eyes reflecting a romantic ambiguity.

Gently.

Slowly.

Kiss after kiss, their lips met.

Qiao Xi’s lips parted slightly, indulging his flirtatious kisses.

When his hand wandered to the hem of her dress, Qiao Xi firmly grasped the sleeping gown, her clear, expressive eyes seemingly speaking: "I’m really tired."

She allowed Young Master Sun to ply her with drinks tonight, also as a way to relax her strained nerves. She needed a good rest to better handle the next round of the Acupuncture Conference.

Huo Xingzhou restrained himself and withdrew his hand: "I won’t bother you."

He only intended to do as much as necessary and didn’t want to overdo it.

"Where do you feel tired?" His hand resting on her shoulder, he asked in a deep voice.

Lying on the sofa, Qiao Xi said, "My whole body feels exhausted. It’s as if my bones are falling apart, and my head is heavy. So many things happened today, I’ve been on tenterhooks."

Anyone going through that would be physically and mentally drained.

She wasn’t afraid of a fair competition; she only feared they wouldn’t play by the rules.

Huo Xingzhou pinched her arm and said, "Lie face down."

Qiao Xi looked at him suspiciously, unable to stop certain past images from flashing through her mind. She instinctively became wary, her voice soft, "We agreed, no touching me."

Huo Xingzhou looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "I’m not one to break my promises."

Qiao Xi slowly turned over, resting her forehead on her crossed hands, and peeking sideways at him.

Her round eyes were filled with his reflection.

Huo Xingzhou’s well-knuckled hand landed on her shoulder, kneading, "Is this pressure alright?"

A massage?

Qiao Xi’s lips curved upwards, her pretty face aglow, "It’s perfect."

His massage techniques were spot on, from her shoulders to her waist, and then to her arms. He reached every spot, applying pressure that was just painful enough to bear. The warmth of his fingertips penetrated through the thin pajamas onto her skin.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and contentedly closed her eyes.

His fingertips gently pressed into her lower back, using a bit more strength. Then he smoothly worked his way down, kneading her calves.

"Hisss."

Qiao Xi let out a soft cry, "It feels sore and a bit painful."

Huo Xingzhou half-knelt beside the sofa, his movements graceful yet tinged with nobility, "Of course, you’d feel sore after standing up preparing medicinal herbs. You need to relax properly so you won’t be sore tomorrow."

Qiao Xi’s watery eyes were on him, and her upturned lips couldn’t be suppressed.

"Huo Xingzhou, how can you be so kind?"

She’d heard from Sun Weimeng all the messy gossip about high society, where men frequented clubs looking for women. Yet her own husband was not only handsome and wealthy but also emotionally stable, even humbling himself to do such things.

It seemed almost unreal.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at her, his tone playful, "Maybe you’re too good, so the husband you found is also good."

Qiao Xi laughed foolishly, "With your massage skills, you could go work as a male masseur at a shop! President Huo really has hidden depths. Where did you learn this?"

"Learned from you. After massaging me daily, I just picked it up," Huo Xingzhou softened his movements, "Qiao Xi, half of who Huo Xingzhou is now is thanks to you."

That’s why he was willing to indulge her in some harmless whims.

And even willing to cross some of his own boundaries for her.

Qiao Xi’s cute face took on a more serious expression, "Then you must take good care of yourself, even if just for me."

Huo Xingzhou stretched his hand and rubbed her head, "Understood, little housekeeper. The next round of the Acupuncture Competition is in three days, and it will be even more dangerous. You’ll have to be careful; we can’t help you from inside the arena."

Among the 20 people moving into the second round, many had good relations with the Lu Family.

Only Shen Xuanzhi could be counted on to stand firmly on their side, but even good rewards wouldn’t convince him to abandon the competition to help Qiao Xi in a crisis.

For the first time, Huo Xingzhou felt a headache coming on.

Qiao Xi obediently nodded her head, "I’ll be careful. Don’t worry, the second round is where I excel."

She was most skilled at Acupuncture and Medicinal Decoctions.

Huo Xingzhou’s fingertips gently caressed her cheek, and he lifted her in his arms.

The sudden sensation of being lifted made Qiao Xi alert, "What are you doing?"

"Taking you to bed to sleep."

He placed her on the bed, pulled up the silk quilt over her, and turned off the room’s chandelier, leaving only the dim wall lamp.

After doing these things, he walked towards the door instead.

In the darkness, Qiao Xi quietly asked, "It’s so late, where are you going if you’re not sleeping?"

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes darkened, and he uttered two heavy words.
