Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 167 - : Qiao Xi Takes the Initiative and Gains the Upper Hand

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Qiao Xi Takes the Initiative and Gains the Upper Hand

The car drove all the way to the Huo family’s small villa.

When Huo Xingzhou got out of the car, he saw the light was on in the master bedroom on the second floor. He lowered his eyes slightly, a small smile curving the corners of his mouth; he had told her not to wait for him if he wasn’t home by ten o’clock at night.

Yet she still waited as usual.

“Old Chen, you can go back and rest.”

“Sure, young master.”

The driver, Old Chen, parked the car in the garage, and Huo Xingzhou entered the living room.

He took off his tie and coat with both hands and hung them on the coat rack beside him. The bouquet by the floor-to-ceiling window caught his peripheral vision; clusters of purple and blue flowers in full bloom were a delight to the eyes.

He raised his eyebrows, recognizing them as the wildflowers that were everywhere in Moon Village.

After being arranged by a city florist, they looked extraordinarily different.

He knew right away they were from Qiao Xi, as Zhou Yu had told him she went out for a farewell dinner with her colleagues tonight. Starting tomorrow, she would no longer be working nine-to-five.

Huo Xingzhou undid two buttons from his white shirt and poured himself a glass of warm water, drinking it in one gulp.

He had drunk quite a bit tonight, as that Young Master Zhong from the Imperial Capital had brought a few managers who kept filling his cup.

His eyes darkened, and he put the glass down and went upstairs.

As he reached the bedroom door, he gently pushed it open and saw Qiao Xi lazily asleep on the sofa. She had taken a shower, wearing a dress that reached her knees, with a strand of hair stuck to her cheek.

She looked sound asleep.

Huo Xingzhou didn’t wake her, instead going into the bathroom to take a shower.

After the shower, she was still sleeping.

Wearing his pajamas, he bent down, picked her up, and could still detect a faint scent of alcohol on her, light and subtle. It seemed she had drunk quite a bit at the farewell dinner, and still carried the residual smell of alcohol after washing up.

She must have been very happy tonight.

Qiao Xi felt herself floating in a daze, and as she opened her blurry eyes, she found Huo Xingzhou holding her.

“Mr. Huo… you’re home?”

“Yes, next time go to bed. Sleeping on the sofa is uncomfortable and can cause a stiff neck,” said Huo Xingzhou, freshly bathed with moisture still on him. His voice was hoarse, and stripping away the suit made him seem more relaxed and leisurely.

“Oh.”

Qiao Xi covered her mouth and yawned, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Huo Xingzhou placed her on the bed, and she instinctively clutched the hem of his shirt: “Mr. Huo, thank you.”

Thank you for the flowers tonight.

And thank you for everything he had done for her.

Qiao Xi propped herself up and, opening the drawer, took out an A4 paper and handed it to him.

“Mr. Huo, this is the IOU for the clinic. I’ve already consulted with Zhou Yu, and starting up the clinic will require 1.25 million. I still have some money on hand for ongoing operations. But for now, I can’t repay this amount to you.”

Qiao Xi couldn’t comfortably take his money to realize her dreams.

In front of Huo Xingzhou, she insisted on having a backbone.

The gap between them was too great, and she didn’t want to depend on him to live.

“Mr. Huo, consider this money I owe you. Once the clinic is profitable, I’ll pay you back slowly,” Qiao Xi carefully wrote this IOU.

She didn’t know if he would be angry or refuse.

Huo Xingzhou looked at her and asked, “Do we need to make it so clear between us?”

Qiao Xi nodded firmly: “We do!”

“Fine,” Huo Xingzhou took the paper, placed it in an envelope on the nightstand, and said, “Then you owe me 1.25 million. If you truly can’t pay it back, I accept any form of compensation.”

“What kind of compensation?”

Qiao Xi had barely finished speaking when Huo Xingzhou’s hand mischievously tickled her waist, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Stop! Mr. Huo, stop!”

She was terribly ticklish!

Older people in the village always said women who are ticklish will eventually be afraid of their husbands.

Huo Xingzhou played with her for a bit and, watching her laugh uncontrollably, leaned over and said, “You’re not getting up early for work tomorrow, so let’s do something else.”

His chest was warm and broad, enveloping Qiao Xi completely.

She heard his powerful heartbeat, her almond eyes filled with a watery sheen as she looked at him. Then, she promptly kissed his thin lips, imitating his previous advances.

She seemed to have forgotten something; wasn’t she supposed to get up early tomorrow?

Huo Xingzhou propped himself up on both sides of her body, with barely any movement—only the bulging veins on the back of his hand betrayed his unrest.

Qiao Xi looked up and kissed along his sharp jawline, her lips eventually finding the red mole on his neck.

Kissing further down.

Distinct collarbones.

The sensual crevice of his pectoral muscles.

Tonight, she wanted to be the only Shihua Bird perched upon the Blue Eucalyptus Tree.

She pecked kisses all over his body.

Naive, yet she unabashedly stirred the impulses lurking in the depths of a man’s heart. His Adam’s apple rolled as he asked with deep emotion, “Who taught you to do this?”

“I learned it from Mr. Huo.”

Her voice was soft and whispery, laden with deep feelings.

The alcohol in her blood brazenly clashed, scattering all her reason. She was very bold, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Under the haze of hormones, Qiao Xi was not as timid as usual.

She let the man take whatever he wanted from her.

Back and forth.

Deep and shallow.

Huo Xingzhou was more sober than she, and well aware that this little prude would beat her chest and stamp her feet in regret tomorrow, ashamed of being too bold and open.

But for now, he would take advantage of her rare initiative seduction upon having a little drink, seizing every benefit.

…

The next day.

Qiao Xi was woken up by a 7 o’clock alarm, feeling as if her body had fallen apart.

Huo Xingzhou was already not in the room, she turned off the alarm and got up. Suddenly remembering, she was horrified—she was supposed to take her driving test for Section Three today!

Mr. Huo had registered her for the driving exam. She squeezed in driving lessons during her breaks from work the week before, and at night, she would have extra lessons with Mr. Huo. She had swiftly passed Section One and Section Two with his help, and with his assistance, she had also prepared for Section Three.

Qiao Xi found driving to be a very simple matter.

Maybe soon, she would be able to drive for him.

Qiao Xi, dressed in a set of blue and white sportswear and wearing a sun visor cap, headed out. Old Chen, the driver, offered to take her to the driving school, but she declined.

It always felt extremely awkward to be dropped off at the driving school in a Rolls-Royce, drawing a lot of attention.

She arrived at the test route at exactly 8:30 a.m.

Section Three was an on-road test, set in a Haicheng Suburbs area with fewer cars. This was to simulate inner-city traffic without being too dangerous, especially friendly for novices.

But an open road segment meant there would be traffic from other vehicles.

“Qiao Xi!”

“Sister-in-law!”

Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao, two live wires, ran over with a bunch of drinks and a banner. They distributed drinks among the examining candidates and instructors, then exuberantly unfurled the banner.

Written on it was: The dazzling world mesmerizes the eye, today our sister shines the brightest! Go all out, Qiao Xi is cool!

How embarrassing!

Who needs a banner to cheer them on when taking a driver’s exam? Their antics drew the attention of everyone present. Some students even asked who Qiao Xi was, and instructors pointed her out.

Qiao Xi pulled her cap down low, pretending not to know them!

But Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao rushed over to her, one kneading her shoulders and the other handing her a bottle of mineral water.

“Is this pressure okay, sister-in-law?”

“Section Three is the most crucial! Once you pass, you’re basically set to get your license, so don’t be nervous!”

Qiao Xi reluctantly accepted the water bottle and said, “Thank you.”

She hadn’t been nervous before.

But seeing their grand display, she felt she would be letting them down if she didn’t get a perfect score.

“Do your best! We’re waiting for you!”

“Okay.”

Qiao Xi chatted with them for a bit before it was her turn to take the driving test.

Huo Sijiao and Sun Weimeng stood on the spot, craning their necks in anticipation. Sun Weimeng pointed to a white BMW driving back and forth on the testing road, saying to Huo Sijiao, “Doesn’t that car look familiar?”

“Where?”

“Right there.”

Sun Weimeng pointed to the white BMW that moved back and forth at the corner. Huo Sijiao followed his gaze and nodded, “It does seem a bit familiar!”

“Wait! That looks like Xu Xingluo’s car!”

“What is she planning to do?”

Sun Weimeng’s scalp tingled with unease, “No, stay here and keep watch, I’ll get the car. Whatever she is plotting, we have to stop her!”

Huo Sijiao stomped her foot anxiously.
