President's Brand

Chapter 63

The dishes on the table were served quickly, and each dish was prepared with the secret recipe of the palace, and the taste was excellent.

Dai Ning lowered her head and ate, with a satisfied expression on her face.The man sitting opposite her looked straight at her, seeing her devouring her face, he shook his head amusedly, "Xiao Ning, how is your leg recently?"

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Dai Ning looked up at him and nodded again and again, "I have been doing acupuncture according to your arrangement, and it is much better now." She reached out to pick up a piece of salted duck and put it in his bowl, she asked with a smile He said, "Doctor Qiu, how long are you going to stay this time?"

Qiu Chen smiled, wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth with his hand, and said, "My friend and I have jointly opened a private hospital, and I will be the director, so I have to stay with my parents."

"Really?" Dai Ning was startled, then nodded, "That's great, your talent should have opened a hospital a long time ago."

After a pause, she moved closer to Qiu Chen, with a smirk on her face, "In the future, if you're here, I'll have a punching bag, that's great!"

Choked by her words, Qiu Chen glared at her, but couldn't frighten her.After eating the food she picked up, he asked with far-sighted eyes: "How are you and him?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's what I think, there is nothing I can't do!" Dai Ning winked at him, her tone was firm, but she missed the flash of loneliness in his eyes.

After work, Xi Mu rushed to the hospital to take care of Ling He. After tidying up, when she returned home from the hospital, it was already dark.

When he walked downstairs, Xi Mu couldn't help being surprised when he saw the lights in his house were dark, wondering if Xin Ze hadn't come back yet?Go upstairs, take out the key to open the door, and sure enough, it's pitch black inside.

Sighing secretly, Xi Mu looked at the dark room and saw that Xin Ze did not come back.She flicked her phone, thinking whether to call him, but something flashed in her eyes, which made her stunned.

"Why are you here?" Xi Mu narrowed his eyes, looked at the man Yiran sitting on the sofa, and questioned aloud.

On the sofa not far away, Qiao Xiyao pursed his thin lips tightly. He crossed his legs and looked at her. Those obsidian-like eyes were deep and dark...

"How did you get in?" Seeing him sitting comfortably, Xi Mu reached out to turn on the light, closed the door at the same time, and looked at him warily.

For a long time, he didn't say a word, Xi Mu gave him a displeased look, thinking that it couldn't be easier for a person like him to open a door lock!
Standing up slowly, Qiao Xiyao walked towards her with a tense expression.With steady steps, he pushed the frightened her into a corner.

His deep face was reflected in his eyes, Xi Mu looked up at her, those obsidian eyes were as deep as the sea, something flashed in her heart, and she was too late to catch it.

"Xi Mu!" Qiao Xiyao stretched out his hand, his slender fingers raised her chin, stared at her with burning eyes, and said, "Let's bet again..."

Icy fingers stroked her chin, and the chill that penetrated from there quickly spread to all parts of her body.Xi Mu stared at him steadfastly, looking into his bright eyes, as if he was stung by something deep in his heart, and there was a sharp pain.

"Hehe..." Xi Mu sneered lowly, with a sharp tone: "Then what is your bargaining chip this time? What else do you want to use to blackmail me?"

Her voice was neither high nor low, and every sentence carried a chill, which made Qiao Xiyao frowned, and her handsome cheeks were stained with inexplicable irritability.

"There are no chips, I want you to be willing to bet with me once!" He whispered hoarsely, but only half a sentence was said.He held the second half of the sentence in his throat, and silently added in his heart: The bet this time is your heart!

"I don't gamble!" Xi Mu's face darkened, because of his words, anger welled up in his heart.What does he want to do after pestering him repeatedly?
Taking a heavy breath, Xi Mu's eyes were filled with anger, and his heart gradually cooled down.

Pushing away his hand, Xi Mu held back the suppressed anger in her heart, her small face was full of stubbornness, "Qiao Xiyao, I don't gamble!" She looked at him deeply and replied firmly.

"You don't have the right to say no!" Qiao Xiyao frowned, seeing the firmness in her eyes, suddenly feeling disappointed in her heart.

There was a flash of heartache in the black eyes, Xi Mu sucked her nose hard to keep the tears from flowing, she looked at him sadly, and said word by word: "Yes, I never have the right to say no. I can't choose Parents, you can't choose the life you want, and you can't even choose your own body for anyone!"

Saying these words, the unbearable past that had been deeply buried in her came back to her heart.The hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched, Xi Mu looked at him with tears in his eyes, but his tone was firmer than ever before, "But this time, I want to take back my rights! As long as I don't want to, anyone can rest." Me! No matter what means you use, I will not compromise, if you hurt my family because of this, I will never let you go!"

"Are you threatening me?" Under the dim light, she had a sharp expression on her face. Looking at her cold eyes, Qiao Xiyao's face was ashen, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Xi Mu held his breath in his heart, trying to support himself not to show weakness in front of him, "It's not a threat, it's a confession!"

For a moment, there was silence between him and her, and many scattered fragments emerged in each other's minds, and both of them felt strange feelings in their hearts.

"Why bother?"

For a long time, Xi Mu stared straight at him, with tiredness in her wet eyes and a sore heart, she choked up and asked him.

Her words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into the bottom of his heart.The atmosphere suddenly became cloudy, Qiao Xiyao stared at her indifferent eyes, and sneered from the bottom of his heart.Qiao Xiyao, what are you doing?This game should have ended in the first place, but it's not his style to be entangled like this now!

Those obsidian-like eyes gradually turned cold, Qiao Xiyao lightly laughed at himself, he felt annoyed at this loss of control, seeing her looking at him with full body guard, felt even more depressed.

Raising his hand to open the door, Qiao Xiyao didn't speak. He walked out with a gloomy face, waved his hand, and closed the door heavily with a "bang".

The moment the door closed, Xi Mu's body suddenly went limp, and the last bit of support was taken away.She leaned against the door panel limply, tears rolled down her eyes.
