Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Turning Clouds Over Rain, Taking Photos as Souvenirs
A night of recklessness.
The sun was high in the sky.
It was noon by the time Xu Xingluo slowly woke up. She felt the soreness and relief in her body and was clear about what had happened. Those peach blossom eyes looked towards Xiang Huai sitting at the edge of the bed.
Xiang Huai quickly asked, “Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? I prepared a new dress for you.”
Xu Xingluo, with a blank expression, threw off the covers, walked barefoot on the floor, and naturally picked up the new dress and put it on.
Then she said coldly, “Last night was an accident, I was drunk and mistook you for someone else. Brother Xiang Huai, you should know who I love.”
Xiang Huai guiltily replied, “I’m sorry, I will take responsibility.”
He couldn’t control himself.
“I don’t need you to take responsibility, and don’t tell anyone about this,” she said with a cold and stern face.
Xiang Huai felt lost, yet even more guilty.
“Brother Xiang Huai, you once said you would protect me for a lifetime, right?”
“Yes, as always.”
“Then you will surely help Xingluo fulfil her wish, won’t you?” Xu Xingluo softened her voice. She was drunk last night but not to the extent of not recognizing people.
She was always clear that it was Xiang Huai she was with.
The best way to tie a dog down is with a bone, her background was a ticking time bomb, she needed to hold more cards in her hand.
And who was better suited to be her dog than Xiang Huai?
A loyal dog with a good background, obedient and does not bite, and also good in bed. Give him a little bone and he’s overwhelmingly moved, even willing to risk his life for her.
Sure enough!
Upon hearing her words, Xiang Huai swore, “I am willing to do anything for you, even climb mountains of knives and go down to the seas of fire.”
Xu Xingluo held his hand and said, “Brother Xiang Huai, I don’t need you to climb mountains of knives and go down to the seas of fire. I have a favour to ask of you, I have a friend who wants a paternity test, but it cannot be done in Haicheng.”
Because the medical industry in Haicheng was more or less connected with the Xu Family, she feared Xu Xiuyuan would find out.
“I want to ask you to help her with the paternity test privately.”
“No problem, I’ll ask a friend in the Imperial Capital,” said Xiang Huai, who was well-connected and handsome. Somehow he was charmed by Xu Xingluo. For her, he had rejected proposal gestures from socialite women of the Imperial Capital.
“Then thank you very much, I’ll give you the stuff in a couple of days.”
Xu Xingluo still harboured a sliver of hope that perhaps her father was deceiving her, simply charmed by that woman from outside.
She needed to conduct a paternity test with Liu Huimin to fully confirm this matter.
“Between us, there’s no need for polite words. Rest assured, no one will know about last night’s events.”
Xiang Huai repeatedly assured her.
“Alright, then I’ll be leaving first.”
Xu Xingluo said and turned around, her expression growing cold again. She opened the hotel room door and left.
Xiang Huai sat by the bed for a long time, alternating between happiness and loss, distressed. He was infatuated with all that had happened last night, and even took out his phone to look at the photos taken during their intimate moments.
He simply couldn’t resist wanting to record that loving night with Xu Xingluo.
This might be the only time in his life.
Only.
Xingluo wasn’t a first-timer.
He guessed that she must have given her first time to Huo Xingzhou a long time ago, considering their close relationship, it was inevitable there would be moments of passion.
Huo Xingzhou, that bastard, to abandon Xingluo, who is such a good girl.
Xiang Huai secretly vowed to make Xu Xingluo’s wish come true.
…
Xu Xingluo left the hotel and took a taxi home.
Xu Guangyao and Liu Huimin had already gone out to socialize, and the servants were cleaning thoroughly.
She tiptoed to push open the master bedroom door, wanting to take a few strands of Liu Huimin’s hair. But the room had already been cleaned by the maid, spotless.
She entered the bathroom and reluctantly picked a few strands of hair with follicles from the air cushion brush, clutching them in her palm.
She sighed in relief and left the room.
A haunting male voice arose from behind her.
“Xu Xingluo, what are you sneaking around for like a thief?” Xu Yunye, dressed in loose pajamas, stared at her with piercing eyes.
Xu Xingluo jumped in fright, her face turning deathly pale.
“Are you sick!” she cursed loudly.
“No guilty conscience, no fear of ghosts knocking at your door.”
Xu Yunye sniffed, “Such a strong smell of alcohol, did you go out and mess around?”
“It’s none of your business, stop targeting me,” Xu Xingluo added. “Mom hopes for a harmonious and warm home. You wouldn’t want to disappoint Mom, would you?”
She held her breath and walked past Xu Yunye.
Xu Yunye snorted coldly, if it weren’t for his mother, he wouldn’t even manage superficial harmony with Xu Xingluo.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number casually: “Mazi, I agreed to tonight’s hairpin turn race, register for me.”
He just couldn’t be bothered to stay at home.
…
At the Huo family’s small villa.
Aunt Qian was directing the workers to replace the fixed beach chairs by the swimming pool, while Qiao Xi also watched on, afraid that something that shouldn’t be there might appear.
She had taken the day off and stayed at home, too lethargic to stir up any energy.
Last night her waist had almost broken, and the beach chair was terribly uncomfortable.
In the late night, she floundered in the water for quite a while, Mr. Huo seemed tireless, forcing her to say she loved him, loved only him, again and again. Later, he even had her call him “good brother” in all sorts of begging styles.
She had not expected that despite his frosty abstinence, he would be exceptionally sultry in bed.
This morning he went to work looking refreshed and spirited. She, however, slept until noon and even caught a slight cold.
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but sneeze again.
Seeing this, Aunt Qian said, “Young Madam, you should take some cold medicine and sleep for a while. How did you catch a chill? Is the air conditioning in the villa turned up too high?”
Qiao Xi shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
The water in the pool was too cold last night, the walls of the pool icy, his body very hot.
She was caught between the ice and fire, too engrossed in the fun to notice.
Aunt Qian nodded, then yelled at the workers, “Make sure to check thoroughly, screw everything tightly. The last beach chair we bought was of no good quality at all, it fell apart in no time.”
Qiao Xi hung her head, her ears burning red.
The quality of the beach chair was actually quite good; it was just that Mr. Huo was too vigorous, shaking it violently until it fell apart.
Aunt Qian yawned, her eyes ringed with dark circles. “Young Madam, I’m really a bit sleepy, I didn’t rest well last night. Could you please keep an eye on the workers for me?”
Qiao Xi asked concernedly, “What’s wrong? Do you need me to check on you?”
“No need,”
Aunt Qian waved her hand, “A wild cat might have snuck into the villa. I slept in a daze and heard it meowing throughout the night, sounding quite adorable and pitiful, so I didn’t sleep soundly.”
Qiao Xi’s ears grew even hotter.
“Aunt Qian, you should go and rest,”
she urged Aunt Qian to leave, fearing she would say something more embarrassing. Last night Mr. Huo had also said… she sounded like the wild cat under the wall in Moon Village.
She felt utterly mortified.
“Alright, I’ll leave it in your hands then,” Aunt Qian covered her mouth, yawned continuously, and left the backyard.
Qiao Xi gazed at the calm surface of the swimming pool, a wave of embarrassment surging through her heart.
Next time, she definitely wouldn’t do it here!
What do you think?
