Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 755: He Never Said He Liked Me

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: He Never Said He Liked Me

Sun Weimeng and Old Chen exchanged glances outside the villa.

He suddenly spoke, "Is this some kind of post-meal reckoning? I didn’t dare say much at the dinner table! Afraid of saying the wrong thing and making Huo Xingzhou lose face."

Sun Weimeng craned his neck to peer inside but saw nothing.

Nor did he hear any significant noise.

Old Chen, being a bachelor, didn’t understand these twisting loves; he scratched his head and said, "I feel that the Young Master wouldn’t likely settle scores with Young Madam. After all, she knows how to keep appropriate boundaries and hasn’t shown any excessive intimacy with Young Master Zhong."

They can only be incredibly good friends, though it’s annoyingly close.

"But Zhong Yi is different!"

Sun Weimeng clicked his tongue twice, "You’re not unaware; if Zhong Yi could find the chance to confess, he would do it right on the spot. All those childhood memories with eggs, greens, and cakes—they have so many memories. Qiao Xi feels guilty towards him, and any little thing in the future could stir her soft heart."

It’s really unbearable!

The most important issue is that such close relations won’t just end contact in the future.

Huo Xingzhou’s days of jealousy still have a long way to go!

Unless Zhong Yi quickly marries someone suitable, only then will this competitive jealousy completely come to a halt!

Old Chen sighed along with him.

"What can be done! After all, Young Master Zhong knew Young Madam first! If not for that kind of wedding for good luck, who knows what might have happened between them..."

"Shh!"

Sun Weimeng quickly covered his mouth, "Keep quiet! If Huo Xingzhou hears you, are you still hoping for your ten-thousand monthly salary? He’d surely dock it to zero."

Old Chen chuckled clumsily, "Our Young Master wouldn’t do that; he can accept the truth."

But the truth can be a bit hurtful.

Sun Weimeng squatted at the door, resembling a big puppy: "What is Young Master Zhong after? Qiao Xi is already married, likely even having children soon! Does he really not mind her past?"

Zhong Yi is a member of the Zhong Family, although the current reputation is quite poor. But Sun Weimeng, being someone in the know, usually trusts his intuition implicitly.

He always feels Zhong Yi has a chance for a comeback; it is just a temporary silence at present.

Old Chen questioned, "If you truly love someone, would you mind?"

Suddenly, Sun Weimeng realized it!

"Old Chen, I never expected you to possess such wisdom! Truly liking someone means not minding their past experiences. Just like I don’t mind Xia Sisi being a little tease, I just prefer her type of tease."

Sun Weimeng rested his face in his hands, looking distressed: "My feelings haven’t landed yet; I’m worried about others’ lives every day. When, oh when, will I finally win the beauty’s hand?"

"Young Master Sun, are you serious this time?"

"Yes! More real than gold or silver!"

Every time Sun Weimeng falls for someone, it’s genuine, showering her with lavish jewelry and branded bags.

He senses Xia Sisi has some feelings for him.

Though she keeps her distance.

He understands!

It’s all part of the little tease tricks, but he falls for it wholeheartedly!

Old Chen looked at him, and after a long pause, said, "Your happiness is what matters."

Young Master Sun has pursued nearly a thousand girls if not eight hundred, each time so earnestly, yet never reaching the final stage.

Those who wanted his money stayed fresh for a mere few months and eventually became like blood on the wall from a mosquito.

Having traversed through such flurry, it’s unlikely for him to settle down, get married, and have children.

...

Meanwhile, inside the villa’s living room.

Everything was quiet.

Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of her without expression, her almond eyes turning this way and that. She realized she had said much about the past with Zhong Yi at the dining table, chatting so intently that she neglected Huo Xingzhou.

She was genuinely happy today.

Cheng Han woke up.

Zhong Yi was discharged from the hospital.

Two very important individuals in her life had improved, and with Zhong Yi visiting the villa, there was no trace of awkwardness in their conversation.

They were still like they were in their childhood, sharing everything without reserve.

This made Qiao Xi nostalgic for the past, the past with Granny Qiao and Grandpa Cheng, the impoverished yet serene past.

For a moment, she forgot Huo Xingzhou was present.

Qiao Xi stretched her hand, tugging at his sleeve.

Very gently, with a hint of probing.

"Are you angry?"

The man turned away and sat on the sofa without speaking much. Instead, he poured himself a cup of water and gently took a sip.

He leaned against the sofa, legs casually crossed.

Qiao Xi sat next to him, tilting her head to watch him, "You really are angry."

Though generally silent, he was never this quiet. Today, he sent everyone away but said nothing.

It was clear; he was indeed angry.

Qiao Xi, imitating his manner, poured herself a cup of water, sat beside him, and drank lightly.

Then, both hands cradled the cup.

Feeling the warmth emitted from the glass.

"The whole villa is filled with a sour taste; even the water I drink seems slightly tart." Qiao Xi said softly, "I know, you’re jealous."

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was deep, "Just a little."

He’s a person with restrained emotions who rarely reveals much. But the moment Zhong Yi appears, he can’t help but feel angry.

Qiao Xi didn’t tease him but gently explained, "Ayi is indeed different; he’s an irreplaceable friend. I owe him so much from the past, but I know my standing. We will always only be best friends."

And won’t develop any other kind of relationship.

"He likes you."

Huo Xingzhou wouldn’t let her pass lightly; he insisted on exposing this layer of relationship.

She doesn’t like Zhong Yi, but Zhong Yi always pays attention to her. Even though she is married, he has never given up.

Qiao Xi pouted subtly, pausing before saying, "It should only be possessiveness between friends; some people only wish to be each other’s best friend."

Ayi never mentioned liking her; he never did in the past.

Nor has he said it now.

On the contrary, he behaves well when Huo Xingzhou isn’t around.

"He likes you." Huo Xingzhou turned, looking at her seriously, "He really likes you; even if you are married, he doesn’t mind."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "It’s not to that extent."

"Qiao Xi, have you ever considered what you mean to Zhong Yi? If he doesn’t like you, why would he try hard to plot for the needle meeting? If he doesn’t like you, why would he care about your safety..."

Qiao Xi interrupted him, saying, "These things, friends would do too! If the positions were swapped, I would do this for him. And certainly for you... So, these aren’t evidence, between him and me..."

"Would a friend declare your unique past in front of me? Would he tell me he’ll take you from me?"

Huo Xingzhou had held back for a long time.

Zhong Yi had obviously been plotting for some time, yet she remained oblivious.

He wasn’t sure whether to feel thankful or angry.
