Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 347 His Name is Zhong Yi

Chapter 347: Chapter 347 His Name is Zhong Yi

Jin Kai still hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation, carelessly repeating, "Zhong Yi."

Qiao Xi’s heart jumped to her throat, "Which character is it?"

"The ’Yi’ of meaning, the ’Yi’ of significance."

Jin Kai laughed and said, "That’s quite an interesting name, Zhong Yi! I wonder who he’ll take a liking to in the future."

Qiao Xi’s mind buzzed.

His surname is Zhong.

His name is Zhong Yi.

Ayi is also surnamed Zhong.

Though Ayi disliked being addressed by his full name, she had heard Grandpa Cheng call him Zhong Yi back then.

How could there possibly be two people in the world who look alike and share the same name?

But Ayi really died!

So who is Zhong Yi?

Qiao Xi’s mind was tangled like a mess of thread, impossible to untie.

Countless thoughts popped out of her head, and she desperately wanted to confront this Young Master Zhong for clarity.

But he clearly didn’t recognize her, how could she abruptly question him!

Seeing her pale and distraught, Jin Kai asked with some concern, "Young Madam, did I say something wrong? You look terrible. President Huo said you were unwell today and wouldn’t be coming for our check-up. Are you feeling unwell again?"

Qiao Xi shook her head.

She looked at Jin Kai and softly asked, "President Jin, do you think it’s possible for there to be two people in the world who look almost the same and have the same name?"

Jin Kai laughed heartily, "Of course it’s possible! In the myriad worlds, anything can happen; that must be a tremendous fate!"

Qiao Xi slightly closed her eyes, "You’re right. How could the dead come back to life!"

If Ayi had just disappeared, she could still harbor such illusions.

But he died, she had watched him being buried.

She was indeed delusional.

"Young Madam, are you here to see President Huo? Why don’t we go up together? We’ve been discussing restarting the Future City project lately. Such a good plot of land shouldn’t go to waste."

Qiao Xi nodded and followed Jin Kai into the elevator.

Jin Kai pressed the floor button and kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye, "Young Madam, are you really alright?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, "Don’t worry, I know my own body. Just a lack of qi and blood; it’ll be fine soon." She thought her complexion must look terrible, even Jin Kai, a grown man, couldn’t help but ask.

She took a deep breath, trying to adjust her mood.

She mustn’t worry Huo Xingzhou!

The elevator arrived quickly, and Qiao Xi turned back to Jin Kai, "President Jin, you can go ahead if you’re busy, I can go by myself."

"Alright, Young Madam. Just let me know if you need anything, don’t be polite."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi walked out of the elevator, making her way down the long corridor. She saw at the end of the hallway, a tall man with a serious face holding a thick file, discussing with the middle and upper management.

Qiao Xi didn’t interrupt, but Zhou Yu, the most alert, nudged Huo Xingzhou with his elbow and made a face, "Hey, your wife is checking in on you! Hurry over, we can handle the project assessment just fine; you, the big boss, don’t need to meddle."

Huo Xingzhou looked up toward Qiao Xi, the ice in his gaze melting.

He tossed the heavy file to Zhou Yu, "Have a feasible plan by Friday."

Zhou Yu puffed up, "Friday is too soon, you’re inhuman! At least give us till next Friday!"

Huo Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, his cold eyes sweeping over him, "I’m the boss, what I say goes. More work for the able, you’ve been free from social engagements lately, pay more attention."

"Xingzhou, you’re trying to kill me! I might not have social engagements, but I have a nightlife!"

Huo Xingzhou scoffed, "Do you?"

Zhou Yu was short of breath, it seemed he didn’t.

Shu Xue had made a mess with him. She kissed him, and Qin Yuan saw, yet Qin Yuan was still willing to wear that green hat. That man must have ulterior motives, aiming for Shu Xue’s connections.

Zhou Yu was extremely irritated; seeking out Shu Xue would likely end in rejection now.

Huo Xingzhou’s sarcasm was spot-on; Zhou Yu indeed had no nightlife anymore and wasn’t interested in other girls, truly hooked by Shu Xue.

Such are the woes of love - why did they fall on Zhou Yu!

"Work hard."

Huo Xingzhou, understanding, patted his shoulder, "A man’s career is very important."

"Bullshit, you stopped liking overtime after you got married!"

Everyone else covered their mouths and laughed, no one at Tianyuan Group dared to talk back to President Huo except President Zhou and President Jin.

Huo Xingzhou stretched his legs walking towards Qiao Xi, he reached out and draped an arm around her shoulders as they walked toward his office.

"Why didn’t you rest at home?"

Qiao Xi, her lips pale, responded, "Couldn’t stay still, I went to draw lots at the Haicheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Association today."

Surprise flickered across the man’s eyes.

Qiao Xi and he entered, gently closing the door behind her and spoke, "There’s something I need to confess to you, Old Chen said you already knew. But I must make my position clear, not to take your indulgence for granted."

"Yesterday at the Baroque Restaurant, I made a bet with Xiang Mingzhu, and we had Zhong Yi’s assistant, Wan Jiang, witness for us. Old Chen said you lowered my exposure on ordinary social media, but you couldn’t pull it off the internal forums of traditional medicine."

"Huo Xingzhou, I really appreciate your effort to protect my mood. But Xiang Mingzhu and those behind her probably won’t let me off easily, so the next time they want to stir up attention, let’s add fuel to the fire and help them along."

Qiao Xi’s eyes held a calm smile, "You taught me, high risk, high return. Joining this competition is high risk, so I want a high return, alright?"

She didn’t care that Xiang Mingzhu would make it widely known.

If she won, she’d make a fortune!

If she lost, Xiang Mingzhu would certainly let everyone know that the apprentice of National Doctor Cheng Han had lost!

No difference!

Might as well blow it up big!

The rebellious spirit that had been confined in her bones for twenty-two years finally surfaced!

Huo Xingzhou reached out, gently ruffling her hair as he spoke, "You’ve made your decision, what objections could I possibly have? I just don’t want those who don’t understand you to judge you randomly."

Qiao Xi wrapped her arms around his waist, "I’m not that fragile. People can say whatever they want."

Hadn’t she been talked about enough?

Huo Xingzhou rubbed her stomach softly, whispering, "Does it still hurt? Luckily, you’re not pregnant at this critical time. Otherwise, mother would definitely protect you like a national treasure."

Yet deep down, he felt somewhat gloomy.

The two of them hadn’t taken any precautions, and despite being intimate night after night, she still wasn’t pregnant.

Qiao Xi’s lips curved slightly, "Children are a matter of fate, they can’t be forced."

She didn’t think a child would make a difference; it was just a competition after all.

Her eyes sparkled softly as she spoke, "By the way, I ran into Young Master Zhong downstairs. Was he here to discuss the Future City project with you?"

Hearing her mention Young Master Zhong.

Huo Xingzhou’s smile faded slightly, "Why do I feel like you’re particularly concerned about him?"
