Chapter 740: Chapter 740: She Reached the Peak of Her Life

"What are you doing? This is right at my doorstep."

Lu Yingxue pushed against his body, "I’ve been busy all day and I’m exhausted, I smell like medicine."

But Zhong Lingxiao didn’t care.

He kissed her twice, with a hint of disdain.

"You seem in a very good mood today, you don’t look tired at all." Zhong Lingxiao tugged at her coat and tossed it aside. He was still very much interested in Lu Yingxue, things were heating up.

Besides, he was indeed delighted when he heard about the free clinic today.

Lu Yingxue did a great job.

Lu Yingxue got close to him for a moment and said, "Are you really going to take me to see Old Master Zhong to apologize? Breaking off the engagement unilaterally was indeed my fault. I was using the Zhong Family’s reputation to climb up."

"Not the Zhong Family, but Zhong Yi."

Lu Yingxue was a bit worried: "Old Master Zhong cares a lot about reputation, has he really given up on Zhong Yi?"

"Almost there, probably. Asking you to apologize is just an excuse. The old master has been shutting himself in lately, not seeing anyone. He might just die of anger because he once hoped Zhong Yi could be the heir."

Zhong Lingxiao was quite gleefully schadenfreude.

"You’re so bad! You tricked me out here, where are we going?"

"Just going for a drive."

Zhong Lingxiao fastened the seatbelt and stepped on the gas.

He drove around Banshan Qiushui for a while and finally parked the car in a small grove.

"No one can see us here."

"Are you crazy? I have to see patients tomorrow."

Lu Yingxue protested with her words, but the news of today’s clinic lifted her spirits, as if she had shed some shackles.

Thus, she was a bit more indulgent than usual.

Playing hard to get.

"If you could get pregnant with my child, it would definitely infuriate Zhong Yi."

"Let’s see what you can do, but being with you, I don’t even have to worry about contraception." Lu Yingxue’s words had a hint of provocation, something Zhong Lingxiao sometimes couldn’t resist.

"I managed to get Lin Xifei pregnant, given your long-term conditioning, it should be even easier for you."

"Then try it."

The two of them, in the open space of the woods, got even more interested.

The car was shaking violently.

Lu Yingxue felt that at this moment she had it all: career, men, fame.

All her past rivals were trampled underfoot, everything was satisfying!

...

Around four or five in the morning.

A cargo plane flew from the largest plantation site in the Southwest to the Imperial Capital, crossing mountains for two thousand kilometers.

Meanwhile, in the Huo Mansion.

Qiao Xi turned over, feeling a bit restless in her sleep.

During the early stages of her pregnancy, she had many reactions, and the past few days had been busy, weighing on her mind.

Thus, she slowly opened her eyes.

She stretched out her hand but found the spot next to her was cold.

She couldn’t even touch the large figure of Huo Xingzhou.

Qiao Xi slowly sat up, took a thick coat, put it on, and walked out of the room.

The lights in the corridor were still on, and she could hear chatting sounds coming from the living room.

Who got up this early?

Qiao Xi yawned and walked to the stairs to look down.

The living room was quite lively, with Sun Weimeng and Old Chen cracking melon seeds, while Huo Xingzhou was brewing and tasting tea.

There were also faint sounds coming from the kitchen, presumably Xiaoyun making breakfast.

Qiao Xi took a step forward and walked down the stairs.

The sound of her footsteps disturbed the people in the living room.

They all turned around and were a bit surprised to see her.

"Young Madam, why are you up so early?"

"Couldn’t sleep, so I got up. Did you all stay up all night?" She sat beside Huo Xingzhou, who handed her a cup of hot water but not the tea.

"We’re waiting for good news, can’t sleep just thinking about it."

Sun Weimeng teased with a devious smile.

"What good news?"

"We’ll tell you when it arrives. This wasn’t planned by us, so we can’t be sure."

Sun Weimeng was quite jubilant as he cracked the melon seeds.

Qiao Xi turned to Huo Xingzhou, wanting to get an answer from him.

He mentioned something about medicinal sources during the day, could it be related?

Huo Xingzhou touched her slightly dry lips, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Oh."

Qiao Xi took a couple of sips, feeling a bit more comfortable.

It was still dark outside, but she could see snowflakes falling.

Didn’t expect it to snow again.

"The roads will be slippery with the snow. Stay home today to rest."

"Yes, I didn’t plan to go out. I still need to take care of Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Qingnian. They both still need acupuncture, and I feel that Grandpa Cheng will wake up in a couple of days."

Qiao Xi couldn’t stay idle at home.

"That’s some good news."

Huo Xingzhou extended his hand to hold hers, warming her hand.

Sun Weimeng was envious: "When will I be able to live such a harmonious life?"

Qiao Xi tilted her head at him: "Young Master Sun has someone in mind?"

"Oh."

Sun Weimeng sighed deeply, "I know she’s a ’green tea,’ but I just like her and even want to marry her. If she marries me, wouldn’t my family’s large business be enough for her?"

A ’green tea’?

"Who is it?" Qiao Xi felt she had missed a lot of news.

Oh well.

Sun Weimeng sighed again.

Old Chen laughed heartily: "Young Master Sun has fallen for a female star named Xia Sisi, quite ardently pursuing her. But it seems Miss Xia is playing hard to get, never giving a definite answer. The main thing is... Miss Xia initially came for our young master..."

Old Chen realized he was going too far and quickly stopped.

Qiao Xi smiled at Huo Xingzhou, "She’s the sister of your friend, I met her last time. She’s pure and pretty, and has a good reputation in the entertainment circle. Does she like you?"

She bumped into Xia Sisi at Huo Xingzhou’s office last time, aiming for the Tianyuan Group spokesperson role.

Seeing her getting jealous and acting a little quirky, Huo Xingzhou slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"She might be more interested in Young Master Sun now."

Xia Sisi’s intentions couldn’t be hidden from them.

She just wanted to find a backer to climb up.

Sun Weimeng patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t give her the chance to cling to Huo Xingzhou. I’ll play the long game with her, I don’t believe she wouldn’t fancy me."

Qiao Xi asked, "Young Master Sun, are you serious this time?"

"Yep, I’m pretty much smitten."

Sun Weimeng had indeed fallen for that little ’green tea’ Xia Sisi.

Qiao Xi was amused by him: "Last time, you said you liked Miss Guan and it was just the same. Yet after a while, you shifted your focus."

Young Master Sun’s talk of feelings couldn’t be trusted at all.

This time, Sun Weimeng spoke earnestly, "If Xia Sisi is willing to be with me, I’d spend my life with her."

Huo Xingzhou held his cup but just smiled silently.

Sun Weimeng and Xia Sisi weren’t exactly people to settle down peacefully; together, they’d be chaotic.

As they chatted, the sky gradually brightened.

Qiao Xi yawned repeatedly while leaning against Huo Xingzhou’s chest.

Huo Xingzhou gently patted her shoulder, and the phone on the coffee table suddenly buzzed with a message popping up.

At the same time!

A booming explosion shook the Imperial Capital!

The entire rich district trembled.
