At night, when Lu Huo came back, he found that Qiao Xi was not in the villa.
"Miss Qiao went out in the afternoon, and she didn't say where she was going." The maid reported to Lu Huo, and she found that the young master's face was not good-looking.
In the wheelchair, Lu Huo's eyes were dark. He found that if Qiao Xi left, he would have no way to contact her, and he didn't know where she was going.
It was as if she would disappear easily once she left his eyes.
This feeling of being out of control is really bad.
There are people coming and going on the street, today is the Children's Day, many parents on the street took their children out to play.
I saw a girl in a light brown skirt coming out of the milk tea shop with a cup of fruit tea, followed by a chubby little mound, and a tall, thin and handsome boy behind her.
"The milk tea is delicious." The four-year-old little short pier took a big sip of the milk tea, biting the chewy ingredients, squinting his big black eyes in satisfaction.
Qiao Xi glanced at the little boy and couldn't help but smile.
The little boy said milkingly: "My sister is here, so my brother buys milk tea."
Behind him, the little boy's brother said disgustedly: "Jiang Ziran, don't you look at the flesh on your body, you want to drink milk tea every day."
"Mom said, you look good if you have meat." The little boy liked his own flesh. "Mom said I was cute."
He raised his head and looked at Qiao Xi, "Sister, am I cute?"
Seeing the little boy showing no signs of timidity and being cute, Qiao Xi couldn't help but smile, she stretched out her hand to pinch his fleshy face, "Lovely, sister is going home, don't run around anymore, don't leave the sight of adults What should I do if I get caught by the bad guys?"
Qiao Xi felt bored in the afternoon and went out for a walk. Later, she met a little boy who was lost in front of her, and for some reason, he followed her all the time.
Later, she helped him find parents.
His brother came to claim it, and to thank her, he even offered her a drink.
"Are you leaving?" Behind, the little boy's elder brother couldn't help but said, "It's time for dinner now, I should treat you to dinner as compensation."
"Beautiful sister, ask my brother to treat me to dinner. I want to have a big meal." The little boy is smart. With his beautiful sister, his brother will definitely bring them delicious food.
He held Qiao Xi's skirt with his chubby hands, "I still want to play with my sister."
The street lights reflected on the girl, her soft hair was slightly curled, making her small face whiter, softer and more attractive.
In the car, the elder bodyguard looked at Qiao Xi who was not far away from the car window, and he secretly glanced at the young master in the rearview mirror.
Borrowing the light from the street, I could see the young master's face was pale, and he didn't know if it was because of anger, or because of the pain from the tattoo just now.
After a while, Lu Huo coughed uncontrollably from the rear seat.
Looking outside, Qiao Xi was talking and laughing with other men, and the bodyguard brother felt aggrieved for his young master.
Not only did he get Qiao Xi's name tattooed on his chest, but when he came out of the tattoo shop and found that Qiao Xi was not in his residence, the young master came out to find someone immediately, and he didn't have a good rest, and he didn't even bother to eat dinner.
Lu Huo pushed the door open.
"Master?" The bodyguard followed and wanted to get out of the car.
"You wait here."
Qiao Xi patted the little boy's head, "Sister is going home."
Little Shorty opened his eyes wide, and said in a milky voice, "Can't pretty sister go home after dinner?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, "My family is waiting for me to go back for dinner."
The boy stepped forward, took his younger brother's hand, and said to Qiao Xi, "I'm sorry, my younger brother is sometimes difficult. Thank you for taking care of my younger brother today."
"You're welcome, it's just a matter of little effort." Qiao Xi felt that the little boy was quite cute, so she didn't find it troublesome. She raised the fruit tea in her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for the drink, too."
The boy smiled embarrassedly, his handsome face flushed slightly, "It's just a small thing, I should be grateful to you..."
"Brother." At this moment, Xiao Autun took his brother's hand. He was a little scared, and said in a low voice, "There is a big brother on the opposite side who has been staring at us."
The boy looked over, and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair not far away. The man was wearing a white shirt, with a clear face and dark eyes. The man looked here, no, it should be that the man looked at the girl in front .
Qiao Xi followed their line of sight, she looked slightly stunned, and the next second, her eyes curved into a smile, and she said to the little boy and the boy, "My boyfriend is here to find me."
"Boyfriend?" The little boy blinked his eyes wide, "Do you mean someone you like?"
The little guy knows a lot, Qiao Xi smiled and nodded, "I'm the one my sister likes, so I'm leaving."
As he said that, the boy saw the girl's light steps, walking towards the man in the wheelchair with a happy expression.
The serious and serious face of the other party was visibly relaxed when the girl approached.
The boy was surprised and disappointed, but the girl not only had a boyfriend, but also, the other party's body was obviously flawed.
The girl pushed the man's wheelchair and left. Anyone who saw such a combination would feel wronged for the girl.
The little boy took a sip of milk tea and said in a milky voice, "Brother, that brother is more handsome than you."
The boy snatched the milk tea from his brother's hand, "Jiang Ziran, you ran around today, I haven't settled the score with you yet..."
The little short pier spread his legs and ran, "Girls don't like men who are aggressive with children."
Over there, Qiao Xi pushed Lu Huo back to the car.
With a smile in her eyes, she was obviously satisfied that Lu Huo came to her, "Why did you come to me?"
Lu Huo's handsome face was expressionless, and his tone was very light, "It's time for dinner, I'll pick you up for dinner."
"How do you know I'm here?" Qiao Xi was curious.
Lu Huo's eyes fell on the girl's small face, "I happened to pass by."
In front, the bodyguard brother resisted the urge to speak.
Where did you pass by inadvertently? The coincidence in the young master's mouth is simply intentional.
Qiao Xi didn't know how many people the young master had sent to investigate her travel route today, and kept checking the surveillance cameras. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to find out that she was here.
Fortunately, Qiao Xi was happily chatting with other boys here.
The bodyguard suddenly felt that the young master did not live up to his expectations. He spent a lot of time trying to find Qiao Xi's tattoo, but in the end, he didn't mention a word, it was just a coincidence.
"You came out to find me for dinner?" Qiao Xi blinked.
"Yeah." Lu Huo's eyes fell on the cup of fruit tea in the girl's hand, and he became very naive, a little displeased with this cup of fruit tea, "It's getting late, I don't worry about you being outside alone .”
Lu Huo is no longer the man he was when he was a teenager. Now he is a mature man of twenty-seven years old. He feels that he shouldn't be like a little boy, with soreness and jealousy in his heart.
His self-control and self-discipline have always been strong.
However, his chest was congested panickedly, and his heart was sour uncontrollably.
In the dim light in the car, Lu Huo sighed lowly, and said, "Let someone find a famous beverage shop."
The bodyguard was a little confused. In the next second, he heard the young master, who had always been mature and thoughtful about everything, say, "Buy the store."
Lu Huo turned his head, he took away the cup of fruit tea from the girl's hand, and said in a low voice, "This kind of fruit tea is not good, what do you want to drink in the future, there will be a special person to make it for you."
It took Qiao Xi a while to react.
She couldn't help laughing, and the mature Lu Huo became jealous, becoming tactful and domineering.
Before, Zhao Yuxi wanted to be Lu Huo's girlfriend to attend the auction, but Lu Huo didn't agree.
He brought Qiao Xi to attend.
"Why did you bring me here?" Qiao Xi was dragged here by Lu Huo as soon as she woke up from her afternoon nap.
She was wearing a small black skirt. The sleeveless design revealed the white jade-like arms on both sides of the girl. She seldom wore dark skirts, preferring light-colored clothes.
But Qiao Xi's complexion is fair, and black is the most white color. The simple little black dress makes the girl's skin white as snow, and her small face is so tender and dewy that people can't take their eyes off it. A ribbon of the same color was wrapped around her neck. The thin, thin ribbon wrapped around her slender neck, barely covering the fingerprints on it.
Qiao Xi didn't style it specially, she just used a pearl clip to tie up her long hair behind her, and the fragments of hair hung down on her beautiful side face, which seemed a bit lazy.
"I'll take you to buy some gadgets." Lu Huo was wearing a straight black suit. He was outstanding, and with his current imposing manner, even if he was just sitting in a wheelchair, it was hard to ignore.
Qiao Xi followed Lu Huo into the arena, during which many people wanted to strike up a conversation and cling to Lu Huo, but he coldly rejected them all.
Lu Huo and Qiao Xi sat down in the front row of the venue. However, not long after the opening ceremony, Qiao Xi was shocked to see Father Qiao and Mother Qiao attending the auction.
"What's wrong?" Lu Huo sensitively noticed that Qiao Xi beside him became nervous.
Seeing Mother Qiao turning back inadvertently, Qiao Xi's body immediately leaned towards Lu Huo, approaching his arms, and buried her small face on his chest.
To her parents, she was dead.
Qiao Xi didn't intend to appear in front of them and let them try again the pain of losing their daughter. After all, her time here is running out.
Moreover, she didn't know how to explain her existence, after all, it was really incredible.
If Lu Huo hadn't had her in his dream, I'm afraid he wouldn't have believed her.
Qiao Xi tried her best to avoid her mother's sight and hide her face.
"Xixi?" The girl's soft face rubbed against his chest, and Lu Huo's body tensed instantly.
Qiao Xi looked up at him in his arms, "Let me lean on you, Lu Huo, why is your body so cold?"
In the past, his body was hot and scalding. Sometimes when she was hugged by him, she was like falling into a furnace, while Lu Huo's body in front of her felt cold to the touch.
Lu Huo seemed to see through her at a glance, "Who did you meet?"
Qiao Xi struggled, "No."
Lu Huo glanced at the front row, he let the girl's soft hair rub against his neck, "Your parents?"
Qiao Xi's expression froze, her dark eyes widened, as if she was asking him how he knew.
She never mentioned her identity and background in front of him.
"You have the same name and the same appearance as the deceased daughter of the Qiao family. It's not difficult to guess." When he knew Zhao Yuxi, he had investigated the Qiao family.
Now seeing the girl's reaction to Qiao's couple, he confirmed it.
He lowered his chin, brought his thin lips close to Qiao Xi's ear, and his hoarse voice seemed to be piercing her earbone, "Xixi, I don't know what's going on, but since you're here, don't disappear."
Qiao Xi was startled.
Lu Huo's slightly cool thin lips touched her ear faintly, "Please."
The indifferent and alienated man at the beginning bowed willingly in front of Qiao Xi.
In front, Mother Qiao looked back from time to time, and she told her husband, "I seem to have seen Xiaoxi just now."
Father Qiao looked at the auction items in front of him and said softly, "Maybe she came with a friend."
"It's not Yuxi, it's our daughter Xiaoxi." Mother Qiao said quickly.
"You read it wrong." Qiao's father looked at his wife, with his arms around her shoulders. Even after so many years, he still didn't want to admit it, but he had no choice but to face the reality, "Little Xi is long gone."
This is a wound that will never heal in his and his wife's hearts. Therefore, seeing his wife transfer her love for her daughter to her aunt and niece as sustenance, he never objected.
Because he lost his daughter and didn't want to lose his wife again.
Mother Qiao lost all her mood. She leaned on her husband's shoulder, her eyes were moist, "Can't you lie to me?"
"For so many years, Xiaoxi hasn't reported her dreams to me. She must be blaming me for not remembering her well." Qiao's mother looked sad.
Father Qiao comforted his wife, "No, don't think about it."
Behind, Lu Huo's jaw tightened, the girl's face kept digging into his arms, her body rubbed restlessly against his chest, his hands tightened on the armrest, "Xixi, sit better."
He is not a gentleman, he likes her and will have shameless thoughts about her.
Qiao Xi didn't listen to him, she wanted to hide herself.
However, Lu Huo's hand gently pushed her away to prevent the two of them from getting too close. Qiao Xi couldn't believe it. Is he an old antique? Still untouchable
Her limp little hand held his big hand, moved away, and she clinged to him more and more wantonly.
His chest was itching badly. Lu Huo couldn't hear what the auctioneer said at all. He just felt that there was a fire wrapped in his arms, and he was about to burn.
After the auction ended, Lu Huo returned to normal.
"Xixi, your parents are gone."
"Did my mother look at me just now?" Qiao Xi asked nervously.
"No, she didn't find you."
Qiao Xi was silent.
Lu Huo looked at the girl's expression, and said in a low voice, "If you want to see them, I can arrange them for you."
Qiao Xi shook her head. Now that her parents have recovered from grief, she shouldn't bother them.
She pressed against his chest, "If one day I disappear, you too..."
Before the girl finished speaking, her small mouth was pressed by Lu Huo's slightly cool fingertips. The man's eyes were dark and his expression was serious, "Xixi, you won't disappear unless I die."
Qiao Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then she gave him an annoyed look, "Don't say such things, it's unlucky."
Lu Huo hooked his lips.
Looking back, without Qiao Xi's knowledge, Lu Huo ordered his assistant to agree to cooperate with the Qiao family in the new energy project, and they basically ran with them, and the Qiao family took the lead.
The assistant was very surprised and confirmed the meaning of Lu Huo on both sides.
"Do as I say." He had already taken the baby from Qiao's family, and he had to make up for her parents.
Two days after the auction, when Zhao Yuxi went back to Qiao's house, she found that her room had been taken back by Qiao's mother.
"What's the matter?" she asked the maid.
"Miss Biao, this is my wife's order. She asked us to clean up your things and restore the room to its previous appearance. Please tell us that no one else can come in."
Zhao Yuxi was flustered, "Where is my aunt?" Why did my aunt suddenly take the room back
Is it because you are too disappointed in her and really angry with her
"My wife is resting in her room."
Zhao Yuxi hurried to find Mother Qiao.
After the auction that day, Mother Qiao missed her daughter. She thought it was because she hid her daughter's things and memories, and even gave her room to others. Her daughter was angry and didn't want to see her even in her dreams.
Mother Qiao figured it out. She shouldn't try to cover up her daughter's traces because she was sad. In the future, she will no longer restrain herself from thinking about her daughter.
"Auntie, why did you clean my room again?" Zhao Yuxi pretended to mention it casually.
Mother Qiao looked at her aunt and niece who resembled her daughter, and said, "That's not your room."
Zhao Yuxi looked astonished.
"That's Xiaoxi's room." Qiao's mother said: "I was confused before, and it's unfair to you and Xiaoxi to live in Xiaoxi's room. You choose a new room, how to decorate it? It's all right. Xiaoxi's room, don't go in again."
"Auntie?" The smile on Zhao Yuxi's face almost froze, "Is it because I didn't listen to you before and made you angry that you..."
She waited for so many years, and finally moved into Qiao Xi's room. It was only a few months before and after, and now she was about to be moved out again, how could she be willing.
The dead Qiao Xi was pampered, even the room was the best in Qiao's house. She remembered that when she was a child, she came to Qiao's house with her mother, and when she saw Qiao Xi's room, she once thought that it would not be an exaggeration for Qiao Xi who lived in that room to be a little princess.
How could the other guest rooms in Qiao's house be compared with Qiao Xi's room? And, more importantly, living in that room meant that she took Qiao Xi's place and became the daughter of the Qiao family.
If she went to live in the guest room, wouldn't she tell others that she was just a guest of Qiao's family
This means that everything about Qiao's family has nothing to do with her!
"No." Qiao's mother sighed, and she said slowly: "I suddenly felt that I used you as Xiaoxi's substitute, which was unfair to you and Xiaoxi. In the future, I will do whatever you want. It will not interfere too much, that is your freedom."
Zhao Yuxi was very flustered, she said anxiously: "Auntie, I like to be your daughter, and I like you to take care of me."
"How can you be my daughter? You are just my aunt and niece, okay, you go out, I want to rest." Mother Qiao hoped that she would dream of her daughter.
All Zhao Yuxi's words were stuck in her throat. She had a premonition that her identity and status in Qiao's family would be different in the future.
On the other hand, Qiao Xi had no idea that Zhao Yuxi would face an embarrassing situation because of the hasty side with Qiao's mother at the auction.
In the past few days, she found that Lu Huo seemed to be sick. He often coughed and his face was pale.
She felt distressed and worried, but Lu Huo didn't want to go to the doctor.
It was dark, and the room was very quiet.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A slender figure walked in quietly.
Just as the soft body was getting close to him, wantonly drilling into his arms, Lu Huo suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were sharp.
When his hand was about to shake off the other party, the girl's voice sounded: "Lu Huo, are you going to pinch my neck again?"
Lu Huo's hands stopped, and his delicate body approached him more presumptuously, and his two small hands hugged his waist.
"Xixi!"
"Don't push me away, I'm going to sleep with you tonight." Several times she saw Lu Huo resist coughing in front of her, and she wanted to see what happened to him.
"No." Lu Huo directly refused, "I'll take you back to your room."
Qiao Xi lay down automatically and consciously, and covered herself with a small quilt, "It's just sleeping, Lu Huo, what are you afraid of?"
"This is not good, you go back to your room and sleep." Lu Huo wanted to catch the girl hiding under the quilt, but just as he stretched out his hand, what he touched was a piece of softness.
His fingertips were burning, and Lu Huo quickly withdrew his hand in shock, "Get up by yourself."
Qiao Xi hid her small face under the quilt, her eyes were dark and her face was also red, "No, you don't want me to sleep with me?"
She could see clearly that Lu Huo usually pampered her a lot, but after this period of time, his touch to her was limited to hugging, holding hands, not even kissing.
Men are too restrained.
Lu Huo's throat was tight, he was expressionless and serious, and whispered: "I don't want to."
Above the head, small leaf buds popped out.
Qiao Xi laughed like a sneaky little fox in the quilt, if there were no lobular buds, she would have believed it.
