Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 782: He is My Husband

"Huo Sijiao!"

Pei Chun yelled at the top of her lungs, "How dare you come!"

She picked up the water cup and medicine bottle from the bedside and threw them, but Huo Sijiao dodged quickly.

The water cup shattered on the ground.

Huo Sijiao walked up to her and said, "Why wouldn’t I dare to come? I’m not only coming, I’m here with my husband." She looked towards the door at Xie Xubai and went over to hold his hand, appearing affectionate in front of Pei Chun.

Pei Chun muttered, "Husband?"

She stared blankly at Xie Xubai’s handsome face, a man who had appeared countless times in her dreams.

He was the one she couldn’t let go.

"You can’t call him husband; this is my husband." Huo Sijiao took a marriage certificate out of her bag and waved it in front of her, "Look, do you see it? You’ve dreamed of marrying Xie Xubai, but now you can’t."

"Huo Sijiao! Huo Sijiao, you vile woman! Xubai, brother Xubai, look at the woman you’ve married! She’s no good!"

"Oh, even if I’m no good, your brother Xubai only loves me."

Huo Sijiao wouldn’t lay a hand on Pei Chun; she’d just anger her to death.

"You..."

Pei Chun was furious and reached out to grab the marriage certificate from her, wanting to tear it apart.

But when Huo Sijiao pulled her hand back, Pei Chun fell to the ground due to the momentum.

"Ah!"

Pei Chun’s injured leg hurt even more, worsening the injury.

Her face twisted in pain!

Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she lay on the ground unable to recover for a while.

Huo Sijiao looked down at her, "Pei Chun, last night you used the chef to drug me, not realizing the Xie Family was always on guard. Thanks for bringing Xie Xubai and I together."

"Bitch! Bitch!"

Pei Chun clenched her fists and struck the ground, her eyes glaring at Huo Sijiao.

Thinking that she might have had a relationship with Xie Xubai, jealousy consumed her.

Why!

Why does she have such good luck?

Huo Sijiao sneered, "Now you’re the one being spat upon by the whole Imperial Capital! The video of you with that man has spread all over Imperial Capital. Pei Chun, your glory is coming to an end!"

She didn’t believe the Pei Family would protect Pei Chun since she wasn’t an heiress.

Just a pawn from a collateral branch.

No one cares.

Pei Chun’s tears started to fall, but her face remained fierce. She looked up at Xie Xubai, her emotions mixed.

"Xie Xubai, how could you be so heartless to me!" Pei Chun shouted hopelessly, "I’ve loved you for so many years, yet you handed me over to someone else! Allowing him to humiliate me, letting the entire Imperial Capital laugh at me! Xie Xubai, you’re so cruel!"

"I hate you!"

"I hate you to death!"

Pei Chun cried in despair, "You’ve ruined me."

Xie Xubai’s tone was very calm, "The one who ruined you isn’t me; it’s yourself. If you hadn’t had thoughts of harming others, no one could have harmed you."

"It was all because I love you; I wanted to be with you! It was so close, it was just so close, the old lady of the Xie Family said it herself; if you didn’t have a girlfriend by the end of the year, she’d propose to the Pei Family. But now you choose to be with this woman!"

Pei Chun’s voice was hoarse, crying bitterly.

Her eyes reddened.

"Why give me hope only to leave me in despair!"

Xie Xubai held Huo Sijiao back and said, "I’ve always told you that I don’t like you. We can never be together. Yet you hurt so many innocent girls under the pretense of loving me. Pei Chun, just yesterday I had someone investigate and found out you used the Pei Family’s influence to do so many terrible things, it’s truly disgusting."

She bullied and isolated other girls.

Causing them depression or suicide, covering them with a lifetime of shadows.

But these traces were all erased by the Pei Family or settled with money.

Unable to send Pei Chun to jail.

"I did it all for you!"

Pei Chun, teary-faced, "I did it for you... If you were with me, I wouldn’t have... I just love you, Xie Xubai. Why must you be with the person I hate most, Huo Sijiao is a bitch! You’re determined to go against the Pei Family..."

She lay on the ground incoherently, like her heart had been shattered.

Yet she couldn’t hide the evil in her bones.

Saying it was for Xie Xubai, but all for her own selfishness.

Xie Xubai rarely showed such a look of disgust, "Pei Chun, I’d rather be single my entire life than be with you. The Xie Family and the Pei Family cannot stand together. As for Huo Sijiao, she’s my only wife."

Only wife.

These five words struck at Pei Chun’s heart.

Huo Sijiao thought there was no need to be so sure; you never know when they might get divorced. The marriage agreement stipulated that once things in Imperial Capital ended, they could go their separate ways.

"Let’s go."

Xie Xubai held her hand firmly, "Let’s go home now, there’s New Year’s dinner prepared."

Huo Sijiao smiled and said, "Okay."

They seemed closer than before, as if no one could intervene.

Pei Chun watched them leave from the ground, crying her heart out.

...

As evening approached, the sky dimmed.

At the Huo Family’s Garden Villa, small lanterns were hung everywhere.

Amidst the white snow, they stood out, bringing a festive atmosphere.

The kitchen was bustling with heat, Xiaoyun acted as the chef, with Old Chen and Sun Weimeng helping to prepare the dishes. Sun Weimeng volunteered to make a dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from Jinling Grand Hotel, wanting everyone to taste the flavor of Haicheng.

The living room was quiet.

A small stove brewed tea, releasing a faint tea aroma.

Qiao Xi sat on the sofa, looking to the left and then to the right.

She licked her dry lips; Zhong Yi had said earlier he would find time to visit Grandpa Cheng, but she didn’t expect him to choose New Year’s Eve.

He even said he’d stay for New Year’s dinner.

Qiao Xi carried the teapot and poured Zhong Yi a cup of water.

"Have some tea."

"Alright."

Zhong Yi held the small teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

His manners were very relaxed, as if treating this place as his own home.

Qiao Xi reached out and hooked Huo Xingzhou’s palm, and Huo Xingzhou seized the opportunity to hold her tightly, their clasped hands rested on the arm of the sofa, appearing very close.

In front of Zhong Yi, she felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t pull away, afraid of offending Huo Xingzhou.

Zhong Yi glanced over and lazily leaned back on the sofa.

He was quite casual, "Huo Xingzhou, is it fun?"

"Yes."

Huo Xingzhou replied in a deep voice.

Zhong Yi leaned against the sofa indifferently, "When I was young, I held Qiao Xi’s hand more times than you."

And so it began again.

Qiao Xi found an excuse, "I’ll go take a look in the kitchen, you guys chat."

She stood up, patted Huo Xingzhou’s hand lightly, and said in a very soft voice, "Don’t argue."

Once Qiao Xi left, the atmosphere between the two men became unabashed.

Huo Xingzhou looked at Zhong Yi coldly and said, "Don’t you have a home?"

Zhong Yi shot back without hesitation, "This place is my home, Xixi and Grandpa Cheng are my family. If you have the guts, try to drive me away?"
