Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 180 Are you willing to give it up?

As soon as Wang Yu left, the atmosphere at the dinner table became subtle. The guests had different expressions, and no one dared to have any other thoughts about Xie Qing.

After all, the experiences of those who came before (Wang Yu) are there for all to see, and nobody wants to get into trouble.

Aside from Wang Yu, Xie Qing thoroughly enjoyed the meal. He didn't need to offer toasts, engage in polite exchanges with the guests, or even get any attention from anyone. He could simply eat.

……

Back at the hotel, Xie Qing slumped onto the sofa, stretching out her limbs at will.

I ate a big dinner and consumed a lot of carbohydrates. Now, my head feels like it's wrapped in a ball of cotton, and I feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Sleepiness was like an invisible tentacle lurking in the shadows, silently climbing up from his fingertips and ankles, spreading all the way to his body, slowly dragging him into an abyss of drowsiness.

"Gently, drink your medicine and then go to sleep."

The familiar, bitter smell of Chinese medicine wafted over, making Xie Qingzhi frown, but he still pinched his nose and drank the medicine in one gulp.

After taking the medicine, Xie Qing was about to close her eyes and doze off for a while when suddenly her waist tightened, and Huo Yunting lifted her up steadily in his arms.

"What?"

"I'll carry you to the bathroom to take a shower."

"Really just taking a shower?"

Given Huo Yunting's beastly nature, there's a 99.9% chance he'll end up in bed with him while he's washing.

"Really, Qingqing, don't you believe me?"

Huo Yunting's eyes, as clear and bright as obsidian, were filled with disappointment, wet with tears, and carrying a hint of innocence and pitifulness.

Xie paused for a moment, then lied against his conscience, "I...of course I believe you."

"..."

Once inside the bathroom, Huo Yunting quickly removed their clothes and pulled Xie Qing into the huge bathtub filled with warm bubbles.

The hot water instantly enveloped the two of them, and the fine bubbles playfully clung to their skin.

"Qingqing, is the water temperature still right?"

"Yeah, not bad."

After soaking in hot water, Xie Qing felt sleepy again.

She tilted her head back slightly, leaned against Huo Yunting's broad shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes, drifting into a hazy dream.

From Huo Yunting's perspective, the scenery before him resembled a stunning painting.

Her porcelain-white, beautiful face, her long, rosy neck, her slightly protruding Adam's apple... every feature captivated him.

He slowly lowered his head, parted his thin lips slightly, and took Xie Qingying's moist earlobe into his mouth, gently biting it with his teeth. Then, his scarlet tongue darted out and gently licked along the earlobe.

Half-asleep, Xie Qing frowned and subconsciously turned her head to avoid it. At the same time, she suddenly felt a familiar touch on her lower back, as if something was pressing against her.

He slowly opened his eyes, his voice tinged with lingering weariness and a hint of helplessness, "Tingting, you said it was just a bath?"

"A person should keep their word and never go back on their word."

Huo Yunting pretended not to hear, wrapped his arms around Xie Qing's waist even tighter, buried his face in Xie Qing's neck, and pitifully whined, "Qingqing, I feel so uncomfortable."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Xie Qing, his wet eyes seeming to say: Can you bear to see me so miserable? Can you bear it?

Xie Qing turned her face away, "How about... you just bear with it?"

For the past two weeks, Huo Yunting has been like a succubus, pestering him every night to make love, and even dragging him into lewd acts in broad daylight, like today.

If this continues, Xie Qing feels that she is not far from developing kidney deficiency.

No, I must exercise restraint!!!

Huo Yunting turned Xie Qing's face back and continued to look at him with those pitiful eyes, "Qingqing, please feel sorry for me..."

Xie Qing's previously unwavering resolve wavered slightly, and she compromised, saying, "I'll help you with my hands."

How could Huo Yunting, who eats meat every day, be satisfied with just soup?

He pressed close to Xie Qing's ear, calling his name tirelessly, begging for his affection.

"Alright, alright, stop shouting."

Xie Qing sighed helplessly, giving in as if giving up, "Do whatever you want."

Huo Yunting smiled and affectionately nuzzled Xie Qing's cheek, "Qingqing is so good to me."

She's so easily swayed by my feelings.

Inside the bathroom, water splashed everywhere, and intimate sounds continued until midnight before gradually subsiding.

Just before falling into a deep sleep, Xie Qing comforted herself as if she had survived a disaster: "At least I can get back to the crew as soon as I get back, and my old back can finally rest for a while."

……

After a two-week roadshow, Xie Qing said goodbye to her friends and returned to City A with Huo Yunting.

Back in City A, both of them were caught up in a busy schedule.

Huo Yunting left home on a whim for half a month. When he returned, his desk was covered with documents waiting for his signature, and his schedule was filled with various meetings and business trips.

Xie Qing was also busy. She had only stayed in Yunlan for less than half a day after returning when she immediately joined the crew to start filming her next movie, "Like a Dream".

However, he had barely stepped into the film crew when he truly experienced what it meant to be stretched thin.

The crew was extremely small, and each person had to take on multiple roles.

They couldn't even provide two meals a day, and in order to reduce the budget, they hired mostly newcomers with little to no work or fame.

Of course, even the director himself is a newcomer, making Xie Qing the most prominent figure among them.

Director Mi Qiwu invited Xie Qing to play the male lead on a whim, never expecting it to be a success, since his production team had nothing and the pay was pitifully low.

But the other party actually agreed to participate, which really surprised him.

Mi Qiwu quickly witnessed the benefits of Xie Qing's participation. In just a few days, several investments followed one after another, the largest of which was actually from the Huo Group.

Looking back, before filming began, he drank with the owners of various small companies in an effort to attract investment, drinking until he had a stomach hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital, but he still couldn't get even a sliver of financial support.

The contrast now is truly enormous.

After facing numerous setbacks, he finally received assistance and now has ample funds, allowing him to focus wholeheartedly on film production without any further constraints.

As for Xie Qing, due to the film's promotional tour being extended by a week, he joined the crew a week later than originally scheduled.

A week is enough time for the actors in the crew to form their own groups and cliques.

On the day Xie Qing joined the film crew, a sense of alienation was clearly noticeable.

One reason is that people are not familiar with him.

Secondly, it's because he's the biggest star and currently very popular.

In the public's stereotype, male celebrities like Xie Qing, who are at the forefront of the industry, are mostly bad-tempered and like to boss around newcomers because of their status, so it's best not to provoke them.

However, after spending a few days together, they discovered that Xie Qing was not the person they had imagined.

The other person is hardworking, a professional actor, polite and courteous in daily interactions, and has a great sense of propriety. Plus, they are good-looking.

In just a few days, everyone in the crew was captivated by Xie Qing's charm and was happy to get close to him. The initial sense of distance disappeared without a trace.
