1670 A Chance To Compete Fairly
Qiao Xi avoided his burning gaze and felt slightly bitter in her heart.

Yes! No matter how unbearable Huo Yuzhou was in the past, Huo Yuzhou had risked everything to save her when she was in danger. On the contrary, there was no news of Gu Zheng.

She lowered her eyes to hide her loneliness.

Huo Yuzhou sensed the change in her emotions and snorted. “Do you like Gu Zheng so much? Do you still think that he’s better than me even though he’s abandoned you?”

The corners of his lips curled up as he said in a low and hoarse voice, “I heard that Ji Tian suddenly fainted last night and Gu Zheng was accompanying her in front of the hospital bed. He’s very considerate.”

With that, he took out his phone and clicked on a photo. Ji Tian was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. She was pulling Gu Zheng’s sleeve tightly. Gu Zheng and the doctor were standing at the side, their eyes lowered. One could not tell their emotions.

The timestamp was displayed in the lower right corner of the photo. It happened to be when she was in danger last night.

“Xi Xi, look carefully. He doesn’t love you at all. He abandoned you and went to the capital to accompany Ji Tian. There are rumors all over the internet, but he’s unwilling to step forward and explain things. He’s clearly tacitly agreeing to his relationship with Ji Tian!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes coldly. “This is between us. It has nothing to do with you!”

“Xi Xi, I don’t want to force you to like me, but you have to stay by my side.” Huo Yuzhou stared at her with a burning gaze. His eyes seemed to contain love but also unwillingness.

Qiao Xi knew that she did not have the ability to escape, so she could only cover her face with the blanket and not look at Huo Yuzhou anymore.

“Rest well. I won’t disturb you anymore,” Huo Yuzhou said softly.

“Huo Yuzhou.” Qiao Xi’s tone was tainted with a trace of ridicule. “Or should I call you the young master of the Brook family? Can you explain why you came so timely last night?”

“I really can’t hide anything from you.” Huo Yuzhou smiled. “Unfortunately, you can’t escape. Not to mention Xue Liang, even Gu Zheng will find it difficult to find you.”

Qiao Xi had a puzzled expression. With Gu Zheng’s power, as long as she was still in Li City, she would not be able to escape the eyes of those shadow guards unless…

At this moment, the room suddenly shook. Only then did Qiao Xi realize that she was on a ship!

“Xi Xi, Gu Zheng has already betrayed you. I’ll bring you out of Li City to live overseas. I’ll love you well.” Huo Yuzhou’s eyes burst with madness.

Back then, he made a mistake and disappointed Xi Xi. However, now that Gu Zheng had also betrayed her, he would have a chance to compete fairly with Gu Zheng.

“Xi Xi, your injuries are serious. It’s better if you don’t think of escaping. I’ll get servants to guard the door. If you want anything, give them your instructions.” Huo Yuzhou turned around and left the room.

Qiao Xi ignored him, her heart filled with depression.

She could feel that this ship was moving. If it had been moving since last night, it should have already left Li City. It would indeed be very difficult for Gu Zheng to find her.

Another two days passed. During this period of time, Qiao Xi had been lying on the bed to recuperate. The five servants surrounded her every day and simply treated her as a princess.

Huo Yuzhou had given her a phone without a SIM card so that she could use it to pass the time. However, she was still very bored.
Her brothers must be looking for her crazily after finding out that she had disappeared.

She went missing while looking for Xia Jingan. Xia Jingan should already know that she was being chased after. He must be very anxious too. Gu Zheng should also know about it. How would he react?

A trace of bitterness surged in Qiao Xi’s heart, then she shook her head. Gu Zheng would absolutely not abandon her. She had been with Gu Zheng for more than ten years. Not only were they husband and wife, but they were also family and partners. He loved her so much and wished for nothing more than to give his life to her. How could he suddenly have a change of heart?

Even if he really did not love her one day, Gu Zheng would not ignore her. He had not come to look for her yet, so there must be a reason why he could not come.

When she thought of the photo Huo Yuzhou had shown her, Qiao Xi could not help but feel sad. She wiped her cheeks and suddenly realized that she was crying. Her pillow was even drenched in tears.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down and carefully moved her arms and legs. Huo Yuzhou was not bad to her and had given her the best medicine. The wounds on her body had already healed, but her leg was still in a cast, and she could not get out of bed. She could only close her eyes and think about how to contact the outside world to escape from Huo Yuzhou’s cage.

At this moment, Xia Jingan, who had not slept for two days, had bloodshot eyes. He looked tired and asked Uncle Sheng angrily, “Qiao Xi has gone missing. Where’s Gu Zheng?”
