Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 72 - : A Kiss, The Painkiller
Chapter 72: Chapter 72: A Kiss, The Painkiller
“Qiao Xi, you…”
Wu Yachun trembled with anger, “Don’t listen to her threats. Practicing medicine without a license is punishable with a prison sentence, how could the president of Tianyuan Group want a woman who’s been in jail as a wife.”
They were convinced that Qiao Xi would end up in prison.
At least a starting sentence of three years.
“Yeah, impossible!”
“She’s just bluffing with borrowed power!”
...
“If I were the president of Tianyuan Group, I wouldn’t want her either.”
They had all been intimidated by Qiao Xi just now, some were even planning to sneak away to avoid her grudge.
Even the reporters secretly put down their cameras, not daring to continue filming.
It was only after Wu Yachun’s reminder that they came back to their senses.
“Hey.”
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but speak out, “You are all speculating here, why not ask the person in question?”
He laughed boldly.
When those people turned around, they saw him and Huo Xingzhou by his side.
The man’s eyes were icy cold.
“Huo… Huo Xingzhou.”
“That’s Huo Xingzhou.”
They panicked and scrambled to the side to minimize their presence, only daring to whisper among themselves.
Zhou Yu pushed Huo Xingzhou’s wheelchair forward and said, “You’re really funny. You say Qiao Xi bullies others with her power, but you yourselves bully the weak and fear the strong.”
Huo Xingzhou’s expression was grim as he spoke indifferently, “My family affairs, you’re quite concerned.”
“Zhou Yu, make sure they delete everything they’ve filmed before they can leave.”
“All right.”
“You handle the rest here.”
Huo Xingzhou maneuvered his wheelchair forward and grasped Qiao Xi’s wrist, “Let’s go inside first.”
His tone was indisputable.
“Mhm.”
Qiao Xi obediently followed by his side.
Zhou Yu rolled up his sleeves, letting the two bodyguards show no mercy as they forcefully deleted all the photos and videos that had been taken.
His gaze then fell upon the relatives of patients who had been incited, as well as Wang Dafu’s parents.
“Wang Dafu has been arrested by the police for the suspected kidnapping case, and the police will soon make an announcement. If you’re looking for him, you should go to the police station.”
He said with a smile, “And you fools, believing whatever you’re told, being used as pawns. Investigating your identities is a piece of cake for me, I expect you to apologize to Qiao Xi after the City Hospital press conference. If you don’t show up, I’ll come knocking on your doors one by one.”
They were angry but dared not speak.
He glanced teasingly at Director Wu and Wu Yachun, the hidden coldness in his eyes making them shudder.
Zhou Yu said, “All of you, will get what’s coming to you.”
They fell silent, no longer daring to speak.
…
In the hospital room.
Huo Xingzhou sat in the wheelchair, took a set of cotton pajamas out of the wardrobe, and placed them in front of Qiao Xi.
“Your clothes are all wet, change into these first.”
He extended his slender fingers to the button at the collar of her neck.
“Mr. Huo!”
Qiao Xi’s cheeks flushed red, “I can change by myself.”
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her hands wrapped in gauze and asked, “Can you unbutton it?”
Qiao Xi bit her lip; she could not.
“Sit tight, don’t move,” his voice carried a tinge of command.
Qiao Xi sat on the edge of the bed, her hands hanging by her sides, her gaze evasive.
She let him undo the buttons.
With her eyes tightly closed, the sense of touch on her skin was even clearer. His fingertips were warm, occasionally brushing against her skin.
Huo Xingzhou looked at her seriously, his eyes devoid of lust.
“Done.”
Only after he had finished did Qiao Xi open her eyes.
Thinking about being exposed to his gaze made her feel a surge of embarrassment inside.
Her eyes fell on his legs and she asked, “Mr. Huo, there’s no one else here. You can stand up.”
The man’s fingertips were stroking, still retaining the slick sensation.
He said, “It hurts a bit.”
Yesterday, in his haste to save her, he had moved a bit too quickly.
His leg had started to hurt again as he was leaving, so he had resorted to using the wheelchair once more.
“Has it gotten serious again?” Qiao Xi asked anxiously.
“Overused the leg.”
He said in a lighthearted tone.
With no real threat, Qiao Xi glared at him; how could he still joke at a time like this?
“Mr. Huo, I worry you’ll suffer from sequelae. On cold and rainy days, it might be agonizing.”

She frowned and spoke angrily.
“Would you let me suffer?”
Huo Xingzhou’s eyes were like calm waters, but only he knew of the turbulent waves that raged beneath the surface.
Qiao Xi parted her lips slightly; she thought that she wouldn’t.
But for some reason, she couldn’t say it aloud.
Huo Xingzhou slowly stood up, his figure trembling slightly as he leaned toward her.
His gaze leveled with hers.
His warm breath brushed over her cheek and earlobe.
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but stiffen, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes like a disturbed lake surface, shimmering with ripples.
“Mr. Huo?”
“Qiao Xi, that agreement…”
Could it be annulled?
He wanted to ask but swallowed the words instead.
Because the girl in front of him kissed his lips passionately.
Huo Xingzhou’s back stiffened slightly, the red mole on his neck burning hot and blistering. The empathy, joy, and heartache she conveyed made him momentarily distracted.
For a moment.
Qiao Xi pulled away, saying with an unnatural expression, “The dopamine released by the body has an analgesic effect.”
The excuse she fabricated couldn’t even fool a layman like Huo Xingzhou.
But he nodded thoughtfully.
“I understand,” he said, his tone barely concealing a smile.
Qiao Xi’s face turned even redder.
She shifted uncomfortably, but her wrist was encircled by Huo Xingzhou, who deliberately avoided her injury.
“Little Divine Doctor, the dose of dopamine was insufficient.”
As he finished speaking,
he kissed her again.
Passionate, scorching hot.
Irresistible.
He was tender and focused, restrained yet seductive.
Her heart pounded frantically, longing yet shy. She even thought that if they became the closest of people, then…
Qiao Xi’s body went limp, laid down on the soft hospital bed.
The man leaned down to kiss her, and her vision dimmed.
She could feel the scars on her neck being kissed over and over, with a certain softness to the licks.
“Mr. Huo…”
She couldn’t help but cry out, curling her toes. All her attention was on him, and the pain from the wounds seemed to fade.
“Little Divine Doctor, you did very well today. Please continue to bully me; I really like it when you’re bold and radiant.”
It was like she was shining.
He whispered.
Qiao Xi felt somewhat elated by his compliments.
“Are you not mad at me?” she murmured softly.
“No,” he said, looking deeply at her. “I’m just afraid that everyone else will passionately like that side of you too.”
He couldn’t have her to himself.
“Mr. Huo, how could they possibly like me?” Qiao Xi found the idea laughable; they would rather curse her to death.
Huo Xingzhou chuckled softly; she was so naively cute.
Just wait until two days later, when her identity is revealed, those all those suitors will descend on her like bees to honey.
“Qiao Xi, attend the press conference at City Hospital with me in two days. I’ll cleanse you of all the mud that’s been slung at you.”
There, she will meet Cheng Han.
Qiao Xi’s mind reeled from his words.
Could what he said really happen?
But he was Huo Xingzhou, after all.
