Xiang Mingzhu was in a state of confusion. She didn't know why Zhong Yi was asking such a question.

Although she covets him and wants to marry him.

But I'm still a little afraid of him in my heart, and I usually don't dare to make mistakes. She didn't understand why she was easily afraid even though he looked gentle, spoke with a pleasant voice, and usually acted calmly.

Maybe it's because his passionate eyes are so clear that they seem to be able to see through everything.

She swallowed and said, "Mr. Zhong, I have nothing to be unhappy about."

Zhong Yi stretched out his slender fingers to explore her cheek, pursed his lips tightly towards Mingzhu, his eyes were a little evasive, and his heartbeat was speeding up. But Zhong Yi stopped and withdrew his hand.

Xiang Mingzhu felt some unspeakable disappointment in her heart.

"Then where did the slap mark on your face come from? Can you feel happy after being slapped?"

He finally asked!

Xiang Mingzhu also found an opportunity to complain: "It was Ye Zhimeng who slapped her. I don't know what went crazy with her, but she suddenly slapped me."

Zhong Yi said casually: "Why would she hit you for no reason? You must have done something you shouldn't have done."

"I do not have!"

Xiang Mingzhu explained urgently, "Young Master Zhong, I really don't. Ye Zhimeng has no brains in doing things and has always been impulsive. He turns against her regardless of the situation and is vicious in his heart. He is willing to die for Xu Xiuyuan. He is shameless and skinless."

Zhong Yi laughed, with a hint of mockery: "If I remember correctly, you and her were very good friends before. Birds of a feather flock together, could it be possible that you are also such a person?"

"I……"

Xiang Mingzhu was speechless by him.

Mr. Zhong knew how to give a sweet date with a stick, so he said: "Mingzhu, not everyone can sit in the position of the mistress of the Zhong family. I have not been officially appointed as the heir of the family. If you want to be with me, Everything you say and do must be cautious and appropriate, generous and tolerant, and flexible and flexible.”

When Xiang Mingzhu heard this, she felt a little guilty and nodded quickly and said, "I understand."

"Later, remember to apologize to Mrs. Huo." He added.

"What? Me apologizing to her?"

Zhong Yi glanced at her, with a smile on his face but no warmth: "You made rude remarks at the banquet and mocked her life experience. Now she is the daughter of the Liu family. Shouldn't you apologize? Or are you even a little wronged? Can't stand it? Then how can I believe that you are qualified to stand by my side?"

He spoke very well.

Xiang Mingzhu felt aggrieved, but couldn't refuse.

"Mingzhu, this is a test for you. You know, the Zhong family is satisfied with your cousin Lu Yingxue.

Also, Huo Xingzhou and I have a project cooperation. If you fall out with his wife, it will be difficult for me to do it. At least, you should try to be as harmonious as possible in Haicheng. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to bring you to such an occasion. "

Xiang Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that he would just give up on her, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I apologize."

Mr. Zhong smiled and said, "I feel sorry for you. I will ask Wan Jiang to buy you some ointment when we return. A girl's face is the most precious, so you must protect yourself in the future."

Xiang Mingzhu looked at the young man in front of him with stones like jade and pine trees like emeralds. He was obsessed and struggling in his heart.

She wanted to control her feelings, but she couldn't help but fall in love with such a man.

I love him [-]% for his family background and power, and [-]% for him as a person.

She finally tasted the sweet and sour feeling of truly falling in love with a man, missing him day after day.

Just when she was immersed in the feelings of her children, she heard Zhong Yi's voice again: "Just now, I saw that crazy woman holding sulfuric acid and trying to throw it at someone. The other girls were hiding far away for fear of being splashed. Why are you so calm? , doesn’t it seem surprising?”

Xiang Mingzhu's nerves were tense.

She said dryly: "Maybe with Mr. Zhong by my side, I'm not afraid at all."

"Oh, is that so? I didn't expect Mingzhu to trust me so much. I'm very happy."

He handled it gently and did not continue to ask questions.

Xiang Mingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief, and his palms were sweating.

……

Lounge on the second floor of the cruise ship.

Qiao Xi slowly closed the door. It was quiet here, with only the exceptionally bright lights shining down, casting two overlapping shadows. Qiao Xi paused for a while before saying: "Take off your coat first, it's full of unpleasant vinegar smell."

"Ah."

Huo Xingzhou took off his coat and put it aside. His shirt was also a little wet. The strong smell of vinegar wouldn't go away no matter what. Fortunately, there were spare dresses for the party.

Huo Xingzhou didn't shy away from taking it off in front of her.

Qiao Xi bit her lip and said, "Don't you have anything to explain to me? You expected Xu Xingluo to show up tonight. You knew she would come."

She also knew that Xu Xingluo might expose her life experience.

Huo Xingzhou took out a clean and flat shirt, put it on, and walked up to her with it open.

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Xu Xingluo escaped from the mental hospital because someone helped her. Although those people are not enough to threaten the Huo family, who can be sure that they will not hurt you in the future?"

"Qiao Xi, I don't want you to be threatened by Xu Xingluo and others in the future."

Therefore, he chose to lure the snakes out of their holes and catch them all in one go.

Huo Xingzhou pinched her fingers and played with them, "I expected Xu Xingluo to expose your life experience. I know you don't want to take advantage of the Liu family. But when you are alive and have resources you can use, there is no need to deliberately avoid them. . If you want to reach high places, it’s difficult to do it alone.”

He received an elite education since childhood and knew best how to organize troops and make use of available resources.

But Qiao Xi's world is too simple, and he has a stubborn temper and accepts death.

Qiao Xi looked at him calmly: "Is this what you want?"

"Yes."

Huo Xingzhou was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it, so he said, "It's one thing for your relationship with the Liu family to be exposed, but it's another thing for you to recognize them or not. Don't put pressure on yourself. Besides, you have saved them so many times, so asking for some interest is another matter." What's wrong?"

The Liu family has some power in the imperial capital, and the Huo family cannot match the rich heritage passed down for hundreds of years.

In the future, Qiao Xi will definitely go to the Imperial Capital.

Huo Xingzhou wanted to pave a way for her first.

After all, the Imperial Capital Bell and Haicheng Liu are no joke. The roots are intertwined, and the people at the top attach more importance to the heritage and ancestral shadow.

Qiao Xi's voice was soft and gentle: "Since it is what you want, then I accept your arrangement and kindness. Because you are Huo Xingzhou and my husband, and I know you will not harm me. But the Liu family is something I can't leave behind. The bond.”

For example, Xu Yunye.

She thought of him occasionally.

In fact, compared to Xu Yunye, she couldn't tell who was more pitiful.

Huo Xingzhou wanted to reach out and rub her hair, but found that her hair style was perfect today, so he could only give up.

"I thought you were going to make trouble with me, and I had already figured out how to coax you."

"How to coax?"

"Working hard to please at night."

Qiao Xi glared at him: "I don't like this kind of coaxing."

Huo Xingzhou held her hand with both hands. Her fingertips brushed his open collar and asked in a low voice, "You really don't like it?"

Qiao Xi buttoned up his shirt and said, "Stop attracting bees and butterflies. What are you going to do with Xu Xingluo? I see that you asked Zhou Yu to take her away. You must not hand her over to the police, right?"

Xu Xingluo made a scene, which showed that she was pretending to be crazy to avoid punishment, and also deliberately harmed others, so her crime was increased!

I'm afraid the crime is not a light one.

"Let the Liu family deal with her, and it's time for them to express their stance towards you." Huo Xingzhou didn't want to do it himself, so he pried out the information he wanted from Xu Xingluo's mouth, and left everything to the Liu family.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
