Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Qiao Xi's lips bloomed with a smile as she glanced at Huo Xingzhou gratefully.

Then, she turned to the mother and son, "Young Master Sun, I have a Health Preserving Prescription here. I don't know how effective it is, but would you like to try it?"

"Yes!"

Young Master Sun shouted firmly!

Mrs. Sun heaved a sigh, another useless health prescription, she wondered how many they had tried.

"Let's exchange contact information, I'll send it to you later." Qiao Xi took out her phone, and Young Master Sun hastily scanned it, saving her contact as "Fairy".

Qiao Xi composed a message, sending over a long list of health-preserving herbal prescriptions and reminding him of precautions. Young Master Sun treasured it as if it was a precious gem, and if not for Mrs. Sun's intervention, he would have offered Qiao Xi a million on the spot.

"Thank you! If I recover, I'll bring you a banner of gratitude!"

"This prescription is just something I saw in a book, I don't know if it will work, just give it a try." She wanted to cure Young Master Sun yet didn't want to put Huo Xingzhou in a difficult position.

She also couldn't understand why Haicheng's doctors couldn't even cure such an illness.

Young Master Sun nodded and left happily with his phone in hand.

After stepping out the door.

Mrs. Sun tapped hard on his head, "Fool. You believe in things read from books, if you get poisoned by the wrong medicine and end up in the hospital next time, don't blame me!"

She didn't believe Qiao Xi had any special abilities at all, saving her son last time was purely accidental.

"I'm willing to risk it! Mom, just let me have this hope," he said. Deep down, he also didn't believe Qiao Xi could cure the illness, but he needed something to cling to.

...

In the living room.

Huo Xingzhou's profound eyes looked at her again and again, almost as if trying to strip her bare with his gaze.

Qiao Xi, feeling the pressure, quickly explained, "That prescription works slowly and requires long-term use. I didn't reveal too much, and you also agreed to let me treat."

The two characters he had written in her palm were "OK".

By the time Young Master Sun would have recovered, Huo Xingzhou would have been able to stand up too, and they could stop hiding after the divorce.

"I'm just curious, how can you even treat such an illness?" the man said lightly.

Qiao Xi's fingers clenched the hem of her dress, her hesitation making Huo Xingzhou even more curious. He adjusted his wheelchair, drawing even closer to her.

Qiao Xi's ears turned red as she retreated a few steps, "Mr. Huo, you don't need to worry. In the traditional medicine I've been giving you these past few days, I've included ingredients to nourish and strengthen the kidneys, because I know… men care about this."

"Don't take what Young Master Sun said to heart; the car accident didn't affect you that much. You just need to take it for a while to replenish your qi and blood," she said.

Huo Xingzhou burst into amused laughter.

Turns out there was something wrong with the medicine he'd been drinking!

Huo Xingzhou reached out his right hand, forcefully and fiercely grasping her wrist, pulling her closer.

"Do you often hear men talk about such matters?" he asked through gritted teeth, "And who taught you to add those ingredients to my medicine? Do you know what a man with surging qi and blood will do?"

He had thought it was those absurd things Zhou Yu had said that made him feel desire without regard for the situation.

Secretly, he blamed his self-control, shattered by the car accident, never considering she had added something to the medicine!

She was so bold as to treat even his "kidney deficiency".

Qiao Xi was forced close to him, her chest heaving, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.

"I... I'm a doctor! These things are very normal!"

Qiao Xi pried his fingers loose, avoiding his dark eyes as she spoke in a fluster, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the medicine."

Her steps were disordered.

Huo Xingzhou took a deep breath and suppressed his temper.

He had nothing to quibble about with a girl who was inexperienced in the ways of the world!

It was just that her words made him feel a bit uncomfortable. To whom had she considered those "ordinary matters"?

Qiao Xi hid in the kitchen, and after her breathing had steadied, she put those herbs into the medicine jar. After hesitating for a long time, she grabbed another handful of herbs.

She moved a chair and sat at the kitchen entrance, chin propped in her hands, thinking that Huo Xingzhou's pride was the reason for his strong reaction due to loss of face.

Grandpa Cheng said, men easily become irate when treating private ailments, and doctors should be understanding.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and Qiao Xi took it out to see that many people in the class group were chatting. Someone even mentioned her, asking if she would attend the dinner.

"The dinner will be at Shanhai Banquet, and I'll cover all the expenses. Please do me the honor of coming, everyone." Chen Xu directly mentioned all the classmates.

"Shanhai Banquet! That's the hardest hotel to reserve in Haicheng, Chen Xu, you're really generous! Qiao Xi will definitely come, right?"

"Chen Xu's family has money and power; he's going to inherit the family business after graduation. We'll still have to look for jobs everywhere, I'm so jealous."

Qiao Xi glanced at the screen and wanted to close it when her college roommate, Ye Manman, messaged her privately: "Qiao Xi, this is a rare gathering. Once this semester is over, we'll all go our separate ways, and won't be able to meet anymore. You're not going to be a downer, right?"

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'll go."

She set her phone aside and watched the medicine jar simmer for an hour before pouring its contents into a bowl.

Huo Xingzhou was reading a book in the sun on the bedroom terrace, his eyes downcast, handsome and sensual.

"The medicine is ready."

Qiao Xi carried the bowl of medicine to his side, the faint bitterness wafting through the air.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at her and flipped his book over to ask, "Did you add more medicine?"

"I did."

Qiao Xi lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Huo Xingzhou suddenly laughed, his long fingers holding the medicine bowl as he drank it all in one gulp.

"I apologize for earlier." The second young master of the Huo family, ready to correct his mistakes.

So what if the doctor said he was kidney deficient.

Qiao Xi watched him for a while and then, with a smile curving her lips, she said, "Mr. Huo, you're the most obedient patient I've ever met. As a reward, please make a donation on my behalf to the Xingyue Foundation."

She took out the check for five hundred thousand and placed it in Huo Xingzhou's palm.

It was late spring and chilly; she wore a fluffy white sweater, with her black hair draped loosely, her eyes bright as she looked at him.

"I know it's you, Mr. Huo."

He was the beam of light in her life, the founder of the Xingyue Foundation, who ensured she didn't drop out of school early. She had asked Aunt Qian while preparing the medicine.

"So, do you want to repay me?" Those words rolled around on the tip of his tongue before he spoke.

Maybe it was the just-taken medicine working too well. As he was looked at with such clear and bright eyes, he felt a genuine warmth and the distant thoughts of an adult man.

"Of course, I'll definitely get you back on your feet." Qiao Xi was oblivious to the subtle probe from the man.

Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly and parted his thin lips, "Since you're treating him too, Sun Weimeng added your contact. Don't you think that's a bit biased of you?"

"Oh."

Qiao Xi took out her phone and displayed the QR code for him to scan, "In a couple of days, I need to go out for a class reunion. Mr. Huo, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

Huo Xingzhou, with sharp eyes, noticed many unread messages; he hadn't expected her to be so popular.

"Sure."

He added her as a friend, somewhat curious about the contact name she'd give him.
