Chapter 231: Chapter 231 I’ll Never Mention Divorce Again in This Lifetime

The man squatted in front of her, the warm expanse of his large palm covering her right leg, kneading the muscles of her calf with distinct joints.

Soft and gentle, there was a method to the touch.

Qiao Xi watched him, lost in thought.

Huo Xingzhou looked up, his eyelashes trembled slightly, “Why swim in a bathrobe?”

He clearly knew everything but kept a straight face to tease her.

“I…” Qiao Xi racked her brains for an excuse, “It’s a bit cold by the pool at night.”

Huo Xingzhou glanced lightly, the pool’s specific thermometer displayed the real-time temperature as 30 degrees.

He did not expose her lie.

Qiao Xi felt somewhat unnatural under his gaze, she subconsciously gathered her bathrobe, fearing to reveal the fabric underneath. When she had decided to implement her plan, she was brave.

But when Huo Xingzhou appeared before her, her courage receded like the tide.

The man massaged her for over ten minutes and asked absentmindedly, “Does it still hurt?”

At night, under the light of the pool, his eyes were even darker and more focused.

Qiao Xi shook her head.

“Since it doesn’t hurt, swim a couple of laps with me,” he said.

“Mr. Huo, aren’t you going to change?” Qiao Xi pointed to his white shirt and suit pants and asked.

“If you can swim in a bathrobe, this is nothing. Besides, I’m already soaked,” he replied.

Huo Xingzhou unhurriedly took off his wristwatch and set it aside. He then deftly removed his belt, rolling it into a coil and placing it nearby.

The white shirt was almost transparent against his chest, drops of water ticking off.

“Qiao Xi, it’s your turn to strip. Are you really going to swim in a bathrobe, or is there something you’re hiding from me? Don’t forget, you’re still on probation.”

His words left her unable to find an excuse.

Qiao Xi’s ears were burning hot as she said, “Mr. Huo, you go first. I’ll be right there!”

If she took off her bathrobe, there really wouldn’t be much left.

The fabric of the black battle gown underneath was already soaked, clinging to her skin. Just the thought of it was making all the blood in her body rush to her face.

The man entered the water nonchalantly, leisurely watching her from the pool.

Feeling his gaze, Qiao Xi slowly moved to the edge. Her fingers touched the ties of the bathrobe; even after several breaths, she couldn’t make up her mind.

The man reached out and grabbed her ankle.

With a tug.

His body moved protectively to guard her and pulled her steadily into the water.

With a splash.

Qiao Xi hit the water, sending up countless sprays.

“Hesitating that long at the edge?” Huo Xingzhou’s eyelashes were wet with moisture, making his eyes appear even more profound.

His fingers untied her bathrobe, which slackened and was quickly washed away by the water currents. Qiao Xi was held by him around her slim waist, her face turning crimson, her eyes evasive.

The man glanced at her lightly and said, “So that’s how it is, you don’t like to wear a swimsuit when swimming, you prefer a flirtatious dress?”

Was this really a question of what she liked?

Qiao Xi was both embarrassed and annoyed, glaring at him.

“It’s what you like!” she retorted.

“So you wore it to please me?” Huo Xingzhou’s eyes were deep, his voice pleasant and somewhat beguiling.

Biting her lip, Qiao Xi said with difficulty, “Yes, I am apologizing to you, and also trying to win your favor.”

“Little Divine Doctor, do you think such a way of apologizing is to my liking?” Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, “You just mentioned divorce to me, and our divorce application is still at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

“I’m sorry, I will retract it tomorrow.”

Qiao Xi was sincere; she had fully realized her mistake.

“Is that enough?” He seemed not yet satisfied.

Qiao Xi looked up at him, “You say it, as long as I can do it.”

“What I’m asking, can you do it?” His expression was indifferent but treasured, “Qiao Xi, don’t ever let me hear the word ‘divorce’ from you in this lifetime, can you promise that?”

He ultimately couldn’t bear to trouble her too much.

He raised the white flag.

Qiao Xi gazed at him foolishly, nodding solemnly.

“I won’t mention divorce again! If there are misunderstandings, I’ll come to you to ask for clarification! But, Mr. Huo, you can’t fall in love with someone else or find another woman.”

“Remember what you’ve said.”

His features were stern, and he looked at her with an intensity that brooked no refusal.

“Okay,” Qiao Xi said earnestly.

She would never bring up divorce again!

Huo Xingzhou’s fingertips caressed her waist, the black gauze becoming even more sheer in the water. The pool water was too clear; everything could be seen distinctly.

Under such burning gaze, Qiao Xi shifted her body.

“Qiao Xi, you really can’t lie at all.”

Huo Xingzhou’s hands imprisoned her body, and recalling what Aunt Qian had said about her inherent inferiority, his voice was slightly hoarse, “You’re not any less than anyone else. Beautiful and kind-hearted. Your medical skills are even more brilliant.

You weren’t just a choice I made after weighing the pros and cons.”

Under the cold light of the pool’s incandescent lamp.

Water droplets dripped from the strands of hair on his forehead, while his handsome face, due to his concentrated expression, looked even more noble and indifferent.

It made Qiao Xi feel like she was placed at the very top of his heart.

She could see herself in the depths of the man’s eyes.

Beautiful, dignified, and with grace.

She had never been firmly chosen by anyone before.

But the man in front of her told her that she wasn’t a choice made after weighing the pros and cons, but a steadfast decision, knowing full well it was an impossible pursuit.

Qiao Xi’s eyes glistened, she wrapped her arms around his body, pressing close to his chest and said, “Mr. Huo, I’ll never bring up divorce again. Even if you want me to leave, I won’t go.”

If she let go now, she would be a fool.

“Then please me more so that I can’t be without you,” he said.

Qiao Xi leaned in, kissing his thin lips lightly, “I will please you.”

The man’s eyes twinkled with fragmented mirth, like ripples on a surface of a broken lake glimmering in the light. He hugged her and swam to the edge of the pool, pressing her down at the edge and kissing her wantonly.

His palm lay against her back as his thin lips moved from her eyebrows and eyes, down to her pale neck.

The water flowed over her black semi-transparent camisole dress, adding an ambiguous tone to the quiet night.

He spoke, “Who taught you this way of apologizing?”

Qiao Xi tilted her head slightly upwards, her body burning as she murmured, “Shu Xue.”

“She sure has a variety of tricks.” Huo Xingzhou, deducing from the details, guessed that Shu Xue and Zhou Yu’s relationship was not shallow, influenced by those one keeps company with.

For Shu Xue to be entangled with Zhou Yu, she must be quite talented as well.

It was good for Qiao Xi to have such a close friend to give her advice.

“She said, ‘when a woman chases a man, it’s separated by a layer of yarn,'” Qiao Xi spoke with slightly parted lips, her breathing quick.

The man’s voice was extremely hoarse, “Without the yarn, it’s even better.”

The fine kisses fell upon her skin, making Qiao Xi squirm uncomfortably.

His fingers played with her dress, but eventually, his eyes bloodshot, he held back forcefully, “I didn’t bring anything.”

She still had her career to fight for, the clinic needing her, and she had to report to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

Next month would be the grand event of the Chinese Medicine Community.

Qiao Xi drew closer, taking his hand and whispering softly, “Mr. Huo, if we have a child, let’s keep it.”

Let everything follow its natural course.

She didn’t want to let go.

And tonight, she desired to indulge to the fullest.

To wash away the checkered past and the pain of old wounds with the most intense entanglement.

She believed this moment was her rebirth.
