Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 166 - My Tenderness Is Only For You
Chapter 166: Chapter 166 My Tenderness Is Only For You
The waiter retrieved a very special bouquet of purple-blue flowers from the dining cart and began to speak.
“These are from the guest in the next private room, sent to wish you happiness in your resignation,” the waiter approached and handed her the bouquet.
Qiao Xi hesitated and did not accept it immediately, asking, “Who’s in the next room?”
“The person didn’t say,” the waiter replied apologetically.
It was Shu Xue who covered her mouth and teasingly shouted, “It’s your husband! I saw him when I went to the restroom! He and Zhou Yu are discussing business next door!” Zhou Yu had relayed her message, so it counted as seeing him.
“Mr. Huo is next door?”
Qiao Xi was surprised and she took the bouquet. Enclosed within the beautifully wrapped bouquet were clusters and clusters of eucalyptus flowers, which were very common in Moon Village.
Qiao Xi’s eyes shimmered with a glossy wetness. How did Mr. Huo know she liked such flowers?
Could it be that during her last visit home, he had seen the dried flowers on her windowsill? Qiao Xi lowered her head to sniff the flowers, her heart filled with sweetness and a sense of being cherished.
Qiao Xi said to the waiter, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. If you need anything, you can just ring the bell,” the waiter said, pushing the dining cart and leaving the private room.
As soon as the door closed, the private room burst into excitement.
“Wow! Doctor Qiao’s husband is so romantic!”
“That’s the president of Tianyuan Group! I thought such domineering CEOs only thought about making money and working, but I didn’t expect him to have a romantic side too! Doctor Qiao, you married the right man!”
“Who says Huo Xingzhou isn’t domineering!” Shu Xue pointed at the bouquet and said, “Do you know what these flowers are?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Qiao Xi knew—they were the eucalyptus flowers that could be seen everywhere in the countryside. They were extremely resilient and tenacious.
Shu Xue raised her voice and said, “These are eucalyptus flowers! Do you know the floral language of eucalyptus flowers?”
Again, everyone shook their heads; doctors seldom encountered romance, let alone understood these rare flowers in flower shops. If it were roses, sunflowers, or daisies, they might know a thing or two.
Shu Xue looked at Qiao Xi and said, “Do you know?”
Qiao Xi shook her head in confusion. She had never known that eucalyptus flowers had a floral language.
When she was a child, her grandmother would point to the hills covered with eucalyptus flowers and tell her that these wild flowers were incredibly tenacious and impossible to eradicate. She had loved these special flowers ever since.
“Stop keeping us in suspense, Shu Xue! What is the floral language of eucalyptus flowers?”
“Yeah, you’re making us anxious!”
“Tell us, tell us!”
Shu Xue wore a mysterious smile and said, “Eucalyptus flowers are particularly domineering; they kill all the plants around them, but they allow the Shihua bird to perch on them.”
“So the floral language of eucalyptus flowers is, ‘My tenderness is for you alone. I don’t love the myriad things of this world; I favor only you.'”
Eucalyptus has met the Shihua bird, loves nothing else, loves only you.

“Oh my God!”
“Domineering yet affectionate, Mr. Huo is just like that!”
“I declare that starting today, my favorite flower is the eucalyptus flower. Doctor Qiao, do you have any quality resources to introduce? I want to taste the bitterness of love!”
The women doctors were nearly swooning.
Qiao Xi held the bouquet, her lips curved into a smile she couldn’t suppress. Her heart seemed to seep layer upon layer of honey, her whole body emitting pink bubbles.
Shu Xue watched Qiao Xi teasingly and asked, “Let’s interview the person involved. What’s your current feeling? You’re really a winner in life, achieving both love and career success.”
Which noble son could be so considerate.
Qiao Xi just smiled and did not reply, but her expression said it all.
The gathering ended after more than an hour.
As Qiao Xi left the club, she sent a message to Huo Xingzhou, but he did not reply. She thought to herself, this must be an important business matter. Otherwise, he would surely have shown up in her private room.
Shu Xue offered to drive Qiao Xi home, but Qiao Xi declined.
She carried the flowers and directly hailed a taxi.
Before ten o’clock at night, Qiao Xi had arrived at the Huo Family’s small villa, and by the time she entered, Aunt Qian had already gone to rest.
Qiao Xi took a vase from the kitchen cabinet, filled it with water, and carefully pruned the Eucalyptus Flowers before placing them into the vase. She looked at them over and over again, then found a nutrient solution in the garden’s tool shed and added it to the vase.
In this way, the fresh flowers would last at least a week without wilting.
She placed the bouquet on the small white round table in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor. Moonlight streamed in, as if adding a layer of filter.
She thought it would definitely look nice under the sunlight as well.
Who said Mr. Huo didn’t understand romance? Domineering and passionate, she really liked this flower language.
…
Inside the parking lot of the Fuchun Garden Club, there were two luxury cars.
A Rolls-Royce with a Haicheng license plate, familiar to the locals—it was Huo Xingzhou’s. Another was a Cullinan, with an Imperial Capital license plate, and the number was exceedingly rare.
Imperial A00007.
This license plate signified power, a very strong and substantial background.
At this moment, a group of people came out of the club one after another. Leading them was a young man whose demeanor was as upright as pine and bamboo. His white suit highlighted his slender frame perfectly, making his waist look thin and his legs long.
His eyes were exceptionally beautiful, with the corners slightly upturned as if carrying hooks.
A gentle gentleman, as mild as jade, there was no better description.
The whole person looked as if he had stepped out of a girl’s comic book—a bona fide prince of the Imperial Capital.
If Huo Xingzhou were the last bit of snow on a high mountain or a silent cedar, chilling to the bone, then this young man was akin to an aquatic plant, giving off a refreshing feel.
On the surface, he seemed relaxing, but deep down, he was profoundly enlightened and strictly disciplined.
An attendant respectfully opened the car door for him and said, “Young Master Zhong, please get in the car.”
“Mhm.”
He responded softly, his voice sounding like striking jade, extremely pleasant.
He glanced back at the club’s main entrance and asked, “Has the flower been delivered?”
The attendant bowed his head and replied, “A waiter has already taken it over, just said it was from the adjacent private room.”
Upon hearing this, his eyes twinkled.
He bent slightly and got into the Cullinan.
“Let’s head back to the Imperial Capital.”
“Yes, Young Master Zhong.”
The Cullinan accelerated away from the Fuchun Garden Club.
Five minutes later, Zhou Yu played with a credit card skillfully, speaking to the calm and steady man beside him, “This meal directly cost two hundred thousand, remember to reimburse me.”
Huo Xingzhou gave him a cold glance and said, “If you hadn’t ordered that bottle of Kangdi, it wouldn’t need to be so expensive.”
Zhou Yu chuckled, “I just wanted to taste what the ’94 Kangdi was like.”
“Put it on your tab; I don’t want to see your reimbursement form at finance.”
That bottle of ’94 Romanée-Conti was valued at 180,000.
Zhou Yu looked at him plaintively, “You’re negotiating a deal worth several billion with the Zhong family, you’re too stingy! Two hundred thousand is a month’s salary for me!” Of course, that was excluding bonuses.
Huo Xingzhou snorted coldly.
Driver Old Chen drove up to them and got out to open the back door of the car.
Huo Xingzhou got in without a moment’s hesitation and coldly closed the door behind him.
Zhou Yu, left behind, clung to the car window and shouted, “Fifty percent off! I’ll pay half, okay? Mr. Skinflint, don’t go!”
The Rolls-Royce whizzed past him, leaving only a trail of exhaust.
