Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 178 I Can't Take My Eyes Off

After working together for nearly half a month, the crew members privately labeled Xie Qing as "severely love-struck".

They had never seen anyone as clingy to their partner as Xie Qing—she would turn down almost all unnecessary social activities and rush back to the hotel as soon as she finished work to be with her partner.

Very few people in the entire production crew knew the identity of Xie Qing's boyfriend.

The main reason is that Huo Yunting spends most of his time in the hotel and rarely appears on set. When he does appear, he wears a hat and mask, covering himself up completely.

Half a month has passed, and no one has seen his true face. The only thing that is impressive is that he is very tall, like a small mountain when he stands there.

However, a few observant girls noticed the ring on Huo Yunting's hand. After their initial excitement, they didn't tell anyone, fearing it would cause them trouble.

Meanwhile, another group of people, who knew nothing about the situation, were filled with curiosity and often gathered together to speculate: what kind of celestial beauty could have captivated Xie Qing, who possessed an alluring and enchanting appearance?

Since a celebration banquet was to be held tonight, some people took the opportunity to half-jokingly express their thoughts.

Given Xie Qing's penchant for keeping a mistress hidden away, they never expected the other party to agree.

Xie replied with a light laugh, "Okay, I'll go back and ask him."

Everyone: Huh???

……

Inside the hotel room, the heavy curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were tightly drawn, concealing a tender love affair that was unfolding.

"Hiss... Huo Tingting... your Q points..."

A voice with a slight C tone rang out, sounding both painful and somewhat joyful.

Huo Yunting's broad, powerful hands gripped Xie Qing's waist tightly. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, exuding a primal and dangerous aura. Every move he made was filled with a blush-inducing sexual tension.

She leaned slightly forward, her tone full of gentle apology, "I'm sorry, Qingqing."

The actions, however, showed no restraint; instead, they carried an irresistible force.

……

After several rounds of Q-related matters, Xie Qing looked completely disorganized.

Her face was flushed, her eyes unfocused, sweat trickled down her fair neck, and her wet hair clung messily to her cheeks. Her brows and eyes were filled with a lingering weariness.

After Huo Yunting carried Xie Qing into the bathroom to wash her, he carried her to the bed.

As soon as Xie Qing touched the pillow, sleepiness clung to her, and her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Just before he was about to fall into a deep sleep, he suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't said.

She poked Huo Yunting's waist, her voice hoarse and tired from their encounter, "Tingting, the crew is having a wrap party tonight, are you going?"

"are you going?"

Xie Qing covered her mouth and yawned, her beautiful fox-like eyes misting over with sleepiness.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, his voice still carrying a lingering languor, "I'm the lead actor, I have to go."

Huo Yunting leaned down and gently kissed Xie Qing's forehead. "Then I'll go too."

……

When Xie Qing woke up, the bedside was empty.

She reached out and touched the lingering warmth of his body on the folds of the sheets, her fingertips tinged with the scent of citrus—the same scent as his shower gel.

After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Huo Yunting suddenly pushed open the door and entered, "Are you awake?"

Xie Qing looked over at the sound and saw that the man in front of her was impeccably refined from head to toe. From his meticulously styled hair to his crisp and well-fitting clothes, every detail exuded sophistication.

A look of amazement flashed in Xie Qing's eyes, and a smile played on her lips as she teased, "Tingting, my darling, are you going to walk the red carpet tonight?"

"He's dressed so handsomely and irresistibly, I can hardly take my eyes off him!"

Huo Yunting's ears turned bright red from the praise, and he coughed lightly to cover it up, "We're going to a celebration banquet, so we should take it seriously."

Huo Yunting thought to himself, "This is the first time Qingqing has invited me to a banquet related to my work. I must be the one to accompany Qingqing in the most perfect way and be the one who can enhance her image."

Besides that, he also harbored some other ulterior motives that he couldn't reveal.

Xie Qing, wrapped in a thin blanket, walked barefoot quickly to Huo Yunting. Her beautiful eyes looked him up and down, and suddenly she stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Then, leaning slightly forward, her warm breath brushed against Huo Yunting's ear, accompanied by a slightly intoxicated murmur, "He's so handsome it makes my legs go weak."

Huo Yunting looked at the alluringly beautiful man in front of him, who was as captivating as a fairy, and said nothing. Instead, he demonstrated through his actions the consequences of such flirting.

……

When Xie Qing left for the banquet, her legs were weak.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, sighed deeply, and thought: "I brought this upon myself, I have no choice but to suffer the consequences."

Huo Yunting, having eaten his fill, was in a good mood, and the dog's tail behind him wagged happily.

The celebration banquet was arranged in an elegant restaurant. The two found a private room and pushed open the door to enter.

Chen Mo stood by the small table at the entrance of the private room, poked a piece of fruit with a small fork and put it in her mouth, eating it with relish.

She caught sight of Xie Qing entering out of the corner of her eye and greeted her warmly, her voice clear and familiar, "Xie Qing, you've finally come to the banquet!"

Xie Qing and Huo Yunting turned around in unison.

Xie Qing shrugged helplessly and replied with a smile, "There's nothing I can do. If I don't come soon, Director Lu will skin me alive."

Huo Yunting stood quietly to the side, slowly uttering three words: "He wouldn't dare."

His voice was deep and resolute, as if it possessed an innate sense of authority.

Lu Sang, who was chatting with friends in the industry: Holy crap, why do I feel a chill down my back?

Chen Mo's gaze was originally fixed on Xie Qing, but the next second, it was drawn to Huo Yunting, who had a powerful aura and was "radiant," standing next to Xie Qing.

Chen Mo, who had dabbled in various circles, felt the face was becoming increasingly familiar. She swallowed hard. "This... this person is..."

"My husband is Huo Yunting."

Xie Qing then looked at Huo Yunting, "She is my friend, Chen Mo."

Huo Yunting nodded slightly and greeted him, "Hello."

"Hello, you, you... Hello."

As if struck by an electric current, he stammered out the two short words, his voice filled with barely concealed tension and shock.

Many people's eyes were quietly focused on Xie Qing. In fact, ever since he stepped into the private room, no one had stopped looking at him.

After all, Lu Sang has a high status in the industry, and Xie Qing's ability to participate in two of his works in a row has made everyone very curious about him.

Someone exclaimed, "Who's that person next to Xie Qing? He's so incredibly tall!!!"

The other person squinted and looked closely. "I have a feeling... about that person..."

Perhaps realizing his idea was too absurd, he immediately dismissed it, "Hey, how could that person be here? I must be so confused!"

Those around him were caught in a tug-of-war, neither daring to jump in nor out, and kept asking, "Who? Who are you talking about?!"
