Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 163 - Inducing Labor

Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Inducing Labor

Qiao Xi dodged his kisses,

the man was leisurely, just like a skilled hunter dealing with trapped prey, completely patient.

There was no escaping it anyway!

“Mr. Huo, you… at least turn off the video first.”

“Why turn it off? We can study and practice at the same time, don’t you agree?” he coaxed her, his brow lowering, his eyes full of warm tenderness.

Qiao Xi shook her head, no good.

It was too shameful.

She couldn’t handle watching someone else do something while doing something with Mr. Huo. She somewhat regretted provoking this man. Why did she bother to get back at him?

He seemed abstinent and restrained, but he turned quite nasty at night. Knowing how strong his needs were, why did she need to have her revenge?

“Mr. Huo! I… my period is here!”

“No, it’s not, I’ve been keeping track of the time. Today is not your ovulation day, it’s very safe.” He kept his arm around her waist, neither pressing closer nor letting go, making Qiao Xi very uncomfortable.

He was naturally gifted in this area, a self-taught genius.

As he said, he tried to be perfect in every aspect. Even with this, he wanted to maintain absolute control in front of Qiao Xi.

“Qiao Xi!”

“Xingzhou!”

Outside the home theater, Du Juan called out loudly.

Qiao Xi tensely stared at Huo Xingzhou: “Mr. Huo lied, the soundproofing is terrible!”

Huo Xingzhou laughed softly.

But Qiao Xi was especially panicked, quickly scrambling off him. She grabbed the remote control and turned off the video, her hands fumbling as she straightened her disheveled clothes.

The home theater door was pushed open, and Du Juan looked towards them. Qiao Xi gaped at her, unable to explain herself, while Huo Xingzhou stood up unhurriedly, casually buttoning up his shirt.

Du Juan felt a bit awkward but couldn’t help feeling glad as she said, “Did I interrupt you? Please continue, I’ll go downstairs.”

“Mother-in-law, we were just watching a movie! Nothing’s going on, I’ll accompany you downstairs.”

Qiao Xi quickly took her arm and left Huo Xingzhou behind as they made their way down. Huo Xingzhou watched their retreating figures and did not chase after them, instead, he walked into his study.

Following Du Juan into the living room, Qiao Xi poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

“Here, have some water.”

“Okay.” Du Juan took the glass, her gaze intently fixed on Qiao Xi’s stomach.

Qiao Xi felt a bit embarrassed and sat on the sofa.

Du Juan spoke directly, considering Qiao Xi as family with nothing to hide, “Is Xingzhou okay? I heard you cured Sun Weimeng; how is Xingzhou in that aspect?”

The fear of him being infertile had worried her to death before.

Qiao Xi’s cheeks flushed slightly as she said, “He’s quite good.”

He was more than quite good.

“Qiao Xi, I’ve never worked in my life, and your father-in-law only has a nominal position at Tianyuan Group. We’re getting old and feel very lonely and empty with nothing to do. Without anything to occupy us, we can’t stop thinking about having grandchildren around.”

Du Juan spoke earnestly, “Young people recover quickly, so it’s better to have children early. You don’t even need to take care of the child, just carry it for ten months, and after giving birth, hand it over to us!”

The persuasion from elders to have children was always the same.

Qiao Xi felt troubled, “Mr. Huo handed the clinic over to me, I want to achieve something.”

“I can help you with the clinic too. Careers are lifelong pursuits, you’re better off having a child then dedicating yourself to your career.” Du Juan held her hand, “Qiao Xi, I’m not forcing you.”

She sighed and continued, “Our family doesn’t have many children, and recalling the time Xingzhou had that car accident, I am still terrified. Please consider it, okay?”

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Du Juan’s face lit up with a smile, “I’ve heard your hospital is holding a conference, are you the keynote speaker?”

“Yes,” Qiao Xi said.

This expert exchange program was mainly centered around Liu Zongyun’s case, with Western medicine practitioners eager to witness the profoundness of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qiao Xi cherished this opportunity to promote acupuncture and facilitate the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine.

“Well done, I’m proud of you too.”

Qiao Xi smiled at her, “I’m very honored as well.”

“It’s getting late; I won’t disturb you any longer. You should…” Du Juan gestured a motion, “hurry back to your room and get some sleep.”

Qiao Xi nodded embarrassingly.

…

That night.

In a luxury apartment on the 16th floor of Biyuan Complex.

The family of three, Xu Xingluo, sat in the living room, the atmosphere heavy with gloom.

Shen Shiyun poured a cup of tea for both daughter and father, “Drink some water first to soothe your throat. Coming here so late, you weren’t noticed, were you?”

“No worries. Liu Huimin knows I’m with Xingluo and is very reassured,” Xu Guangyao said indifferently.

After all, which father would take his daughter to visit his mistress?

Xu Xingluo snorted disdainfully, “You’re the one who should be careful. Last time, when I had a dispute with Qiao Xi, why did you have to butt in? Do you realize you’re a mistress who can’t be seen in the light?”

She had no respect for Shen Shiyun.

Even though she was her biological mother.

“I’m sorry, Xingluo. I saw you were being bullied and didn’t think it through,” Shen Shiyun said, her affection for Xu Xingluo evident, having missed her all these years.

“What if Brother Xingzhou notices something’s off? You’re too foolish!”

“Xingluo!” Xu Guangyao reprimanded, “Don’t speak to your mother like that; she was trying to help you.” He wrapped his arm around Shen Shiyun’s waist and whispered, “Don’t go out unnecessarily in the future, okay?”

Shen Shiyun’s eyes reddened as she said okay.

Xu Xingluo glared at them and spoke, “There’s news from the hospital that Uncle has been successfully resuscitated and has been moved to the intensive care unit. Big Uncle won’t let us go to the hospital, what should we do?”

Xu Guangyao’s expression was fierce, “He won’t be out of danger within a week. What if he contracts pneumonia?”

“Dad, we can’t just hope for ‘what ifs.'” She was somewhat critical of Xu Guangyao, “It’s all your fault, why didn’t you kill him in the first place? Or suffocate him while he was unconscious. Now it’s impossible to do anything.”

Xu Guangyao said coldly, “Who would have thought he had such a strong will to live and wake up one day.”

He fell silent for a long time, a glint of determination flickering in his eyes.

“I have another way.”

Xu Xingluo asked eagerly, “What way?”

Xu Guangyao slowly said, “Qiao Xi will soon leave Hai City Hospital, and the intelligent nursing home under Xu’s Group is about to open. We can convince the Liu Family to transfer Liu Zongyun to the nursing home, where we can act at any time.”

“They won’t agree!” Xu Xingluo said without hesitation.

“What if I get Lu Bannong’s apprentice to take care of him?” Xu Guangyao narrowed his eyes, a smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.

Xu Xingluo paused, that might make them agree.

“Dad, how can you manage to get Lu Bannong’s apprentice?” The boundaries set between the north and south were not to be crossed and interfered with.

Xu Guangyao was also puzzled, “He contacted me, saying he wanted to study how Liu Zongyun woke up.”

Xu Xingluo gritted her teeth, “Then let’s do that. I’ll persuade Mom; she listens to me! She can advocate for the Liu Family to send Uncle to the nursing home!”

Father and daughter discussing a life without any sense of reverence.

Their ruthlessness was as if carved from the same mold.

With one worry resolved, Xu Xingluo felt free to chat and asked a question that had been hidden in her heart, “Dad, why don’t you like Second Brother?”
