Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 770: Zhong Yi, you’re actually watching a movie alone!

Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Zhong Yi, you’re actually watching a movie alone!

Sun Weimeng followed closely behind her, "Are you looking for someone to settle accounts? Old Chen went out with Huo Xingzhou today, he told you to stay at home."

Qiao Xi said expressionlessly, "I’m not going anywhere dangerous."

"Where are you going then? You’re not going to find Zhong Yi, are you? We’ve got a big jar of jealousy at our house; lately, every dish at the table seems sour to me. Why don’t you..."

"I’ll call and report in; you’re coming with me."

Qiao Xi knew how to handle matters, so she took Sun Weimeng along.

"Hey? Qiao Xi..."

As she walked, Qiao Xi made a brief phone call to Huo Xingzhou, explaining the situation.

She assured, "Young Master Sun is coming with me, we’ll be back soon."

Huo Xingzhou was quite generous and agreed directly, without saying much.

It made Sun Weimeng a bit surprised.

"Why isn’t Huo Er jealous? Last time, Zhong Yi came over just to eat, and he was fuming."

Qiao Xi looked back at him and asked, "Do you want us to argue that much? He’s not that petty."

Sun Weimeng chuckled twice.

On the surface, he acts generous; but alone with rivals, he’s combative.

The two soon arrived at the small villa of the Zhong Family.

The maids were busy replacing all of Lu Yingxue’s used items.

In and out, bustling about.

"Miss Qiao, Young Master Sun!"

Wan Jiang, with sharp eyes, spotted the two familiar figures at the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window and hurriedly ran out.

Seeing him, Qiao Xi felt much more at ease: "Special Assistant Wan, is your Young Master Zhong here?"

"Yes! Our Young Master Zhong is resting upstairs. Miss Qiao, why are you here?"

Wan Jiang felt a bit pleased; it wasn’t him who called her over, Miss Qiao came on her own.

"I came to see Ayi."

"This way, please." Wan Jiang led the way in front, "The young master’s room is upstairs."

"Thank you."

"It’s no trouble; this is hardly a big deal. Miss Qiao, once you arrive, I feel at ease. Our Young Master Zhong is in a bad mood, saying he wants to be alone." Wan Jiang said softly, "I hope you can cheer him up."

"Alright."

Sun Weimeng followed them, coldly snorting upon hearing this.

The boss and assistant are alike.

Whatever the boss thinks, the assistant does too.

Even helping to give support.

Sun Weimeng couldn’t help saying, "Your Young Master Zhong seems like a straightforward guy, no big deal. Wasn’t it just getting slapped twice? Soon, he’ll repay a hundredfold."

Maybe he’s pretending to be pitiful on purpose.

Sun Weimeng was full of caution.

Wan Jiang retorted, "Young Master Sun, who wants to suffer such humiliation? It’s all over the Imperial Capital; our Young Master Zhong is such a proud person..."

Sun Weimeng pouted.

Qiao Xi said softly, "Young Master Sun, it’s uncomfortable for anyone to go through this."

Imagine if someone dared to slap Huo Xingzhou twice.

Qiao Xi would fight tooth and nail!

Wan Jiang withdrew his gaze from Sun Weimeng, looked at the master bedroom door and said, "Miss Qiao, this is our Young Master Zhong’s room."

He knocked twice, raised his voice and said, "Young Master Zhong, you have visitors."

Inside came a cold voice: "Not seeing anyone."

Wan Jiang hesitated and said, "Miss Qiao is here; are you still not seeing her? Then I’ll ask her to leave."

Suddenly, there was silence inside.

Zhong Yi didn’t speak again.

Anyone else could be outright refused, but Qiao Xi was different.

There are words that can never be said to Qiao Xi.

"Special Assistant Wan, let me." Qiao Xi stepped forward, placed her hand on the doorknob and said, "Ayi, I’m coming in."

She pushed the door open and went inside.

Zhong Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, facing away from them, tapping away on a laptop with a rhythmic sound.

This room was different from Huo Xingzhou’s coldness, instead having a touch of warmth amid its simplicity. The furnishings weren’t too expensive, mostly elegant items that made one feel the owner had taste and a soft heart.

Inside the room was a large floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the outside scenery.

"Ayi."

Qiao Xi walked up behind him and softly called out.

Zhong Yi turned around, looked up and said, "Why did you come all of a sudden?"

Qiao Xi looked at the red, swollen marks on his face and the increasingly frightening bruise on his neck, hard to imagine how much he suffered at Zhong Lingxiao’s hands.

Her heart felt heavy.

"Did you hear about me getting hit; worried I’d take it badly so you came to comfort me?" Zhong Yi casually asked, hands still on the laptop.

He didn’t seem to think it was a big deal.

Qiao Xi observed his expression; he seemed quite normal.

"Don’t worry." Zhong Yi said softly, "This small matter is nothing to me; I’ve seen much worse tactics before. Zhong Lingxiao and Lu Yingxue are quite arrogant now, so I’ll push them a bit. I didn’t bring many bodyguards to the old house; I deliberately provoked him, expecting him to react."

With his intelligence, how could he not foresee?

But the more he spoke like that, the more Qiao Xi’s heart ached.

She couldn’t help but wonder how much grievance he had endured over the years to be so unconcerned today.

Being slapped and ridiculed by high society in the Imperial Capital was just a minor thing.

Qiao Xi didn’t cross any boundaries, her voice gentle and soft, "If you need help, don’t hesitate. We’ll do whatever it takes to help you."

Zhong Yi’s soulful eyes showed a hint of warmth, "Will you always unconditionally stand by my side?"

Qiao Xi’s voice was firm, "Yes."

But her mind suddenly flashed with Huo Xingzhou’s jealous, stern face, adding, "If you have conflicts with Xingzhou, then I’d need to consider."

Zhong Yi’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, "I thought I’d be more important than Huo Xingzhou."

Qiao Xi chuckled and said, "He...is the most important, but you’re also very important."

No doubt about it!

Sun Weimeng, listening from behind, was thrilled; he clutched his phone, wanting to cock-a-doodle-do. These words need to be heard by Huo Xingzhou.

Zhong Yi received a clear answer from her.

The previous self-deception was completely gone.

Those years they missed, were indeed missed. No matter how hard he tries, he couldn’t replace Huo Xingzhou’s place in Qiao Xi’s heart.

By saying this, she was also sending a signal.

A very subtle reminder.

They could always be the best of friends, but no further.

Zhong Yi’s fingers subconsciously curled, accidentally touching the laptop’s touchpad.

Suddenly, the room was filled with waves of ambiguous sounds.

Women screamed, men growled.

And some spilling flirtations. freēnovelkiss.com

Sun Weimeng was so shocked he nearly dropped his jaw, exclaiming in accusation, "Zhong Yi, you’re watching videos alone in your room!"
