Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 106 Being Tricked

"You're not angry, are you?"

"No."

Huo Yunting replied expressionlessly, "I'm not that easily angered."

Xie Qing sat in Huo Yunting's lap, laughing so hard her body trembled. She tilted her head as she laughed, her face full of mischievous teasing.

"Don't you feel ashamed when you say that?"

When Huo Yunting heard him teasing him like that, a moment of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across his face. He felt an urge to put the person down, but his body betrayed him and he hugged the person tighter.

After a moment, Xie Qing's laughter gradually subsided.

He tilted his head back, his eyes smiling like a spring breeze, carrying a touch of warmth. "You're really not angry?"

"No."

Huo Yunting paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm just a little unhappy."

"You promised to stay with me."

Um... he doesn't seem to have said that, does he?

But seeing the other person's aggrieved look, Xie Qing lost her temper and decided to just pretend he had said it.

He immediately said, "I promise this will only happen once. I'll stay with you for the next few days and we won't go anywhere else, okay?"

Huo Yunting's thin lips, which had been pressed into a straight line, finally curved into a smile.

He slowly leaned closer to Xie Qing's ear, his warm, slightly fiery breath brushing against her ear.

His voice was deep and tinged with a hint of smugness, "Qingqing, you said it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qing's heart skipped a beat. After realizing what was happening, she found that she seemed to have been tricked by the person in front of her.

"Tingting, you've really gone astray."

Xie Qing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He suddenly leaned forward, tilted his head slightly, parted his lips slightly, and gently bit the other person's prominent Adam's apple with a teasing tone.

Huo Yunting's body stiffened, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

After Xie Qing finished biting, Huo Yunting, as if driven by instinct, involuntarily lowered his head, wanting to be kissed.

Xie smiled lightly, calmly reached out and gently blocked the other person's lips that were about to come closer, and casually said, "You need to focus on your work."

He then stood up decisively and sat back down on the sofa, like a heartless scumbag.

Huo Yunting: "..."

At noon, Xie Qing took a nearly half-hour drive to a hot pot restaurant located in the city center.

He stepped into the store, his gaze sweeping around like a nimble shuttle, and soon spotted Tao Tao sitting in the corner.

Xie Qing walked over and sat down opposite Tao Tao. "Tao Tao, what are you thinking about?"

Tao Tao looked up at the sound, his round eyes instantly filled with joy.

He said in a light tone, "Brother Qing, you're here!"

Xie Qing reached out and took off her mask. "Yeah, there was a bit of traffic. Did you wait long?"

Tao Tao shook her head repeatedly, her chestnut-colored curly hair swaying as she moved.

"No, I just arrived."

"Let's order first."

The two ordered food on a mobile app. While waiting for their meal, Xie Qing noticed that Tao Tao's boyfriend hadn't appeared and couldn't help but ask, "Tao Tao, where's your boyfriend?"

Tao Tao was holding a cup of hot tea, sipping it slowly.

Upon hearing Xie Qing's question, Tao Tao suddenly realized she had forgotten to mention it and quickly replied, "Ah Chen has something come up and can't make it."

"Brother Qing, Ah Chen really didn't mean to skip the appointment. He really had an urgent matter to attend to."

He added anxiously, as if afraid that Xie Qing would develop a bad impression of A Chen because of this.

Seeing this, Xie Qing couldn't help but smile. "I see. You're so protective of him. It seems you really like him."

Tao Tao's face instantly flushed with embarrassment. Her originally fair and tender face turned bright red, as if she were about to be cooked over a fire.

He lowered his head slightly, his words filled with sweetness, "Ah Chen is very good to me."

Xie Qing rested her chin on her hand, looking at the other person's sweet expression, clearly in the throes of new love, and felt a little relieved.

Before long, all the meat and vegetable dishes the two had ordered were served one after another. Xie Qing stared intently at the constantly bubbling red oil broth, its bright and tempting color and the pungent aroma of numbing spiciness making his mouth water.

You know, he hadn't had hot pot or similar food for a long time and missed it terribly.

Xie Qing is someone who can handle spicy food quite well; you could say she can't live without it. Tao Tao is no less so.

When two people who love spicy food get together, the amount of chili peppers in their bowls is practically lethal.

"Whoosh... It's so spicy..."

Tao Tao's cheeks were flushed red from the spiciness, and sweat beaded on her forehead. She picked up the juice on the table and gulped it down frantically.

Xie Qing lazily propped her face up with her hand, her lips a vibrant red.

He slightly raised his eyelids, and as his gaze swept around, he saw Tao Tao's disheveled appearance from the spiciness, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With a hint of teasing, he laughed and said, "Tao Tao, you're not doing well. Your fighting ability is much weaker than before."

Tao Tao stuck out his tongue and breathed softly, "Hehehe," and retorted, "I'm just like that because I haven't eaten in so long."

As he spoke, he picked up another slice of beef, dipped it in his own extra spicy sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"Hooray... Eggs look like hooray..."

Tao Tao chewed his food, speaking indistinctly, but his act of eating spicy food while talking soon made him suffer.

He was suddenly choked, and the spicy taste instantly rushed from his mouth straight into his nose, which was not a pleasant feeling.

Tao Tao's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he coughed violently one after another, so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

Xie Qing quickly poured a glass of milk and handed it to the other person, "Are you alright?"

Tao Tao drank a large glass of milk and calmed down after a while. "I'm fine now. I almost thought I was going to choke to death."

Xie Qing shook her head and sighed helplessly, "How many times has this happened? You never learn your lesson."

Tao Tao's eyes darted around guiltily, and she muttered under her breath, "Not many times, just seven times..."

Xie slightly curled the corners of her lips, about to ask him, "Isn't seven times enough?"

But the next second, the smile on his face vanished, his eyes turned cold, as if covered with frost, and he turned to look out the glass window.

Tao Tao saw Xie Qing's familiar expression and immediately realized what was going on. She whispered, "Brother Qing, are there paparazzi taking pictures outside?"

He frowned, looking serious, and craned his neck to look outside, but saw nothing.

Xie Qing looked away thoughtfully. "No, I must have been mistaken. Let's continue eating."

Tao Tao had no doubt about his words, and happily poured herself a full glass of orange juice, clinking glasses with Xie Qing.

Xie raised his glass with a light laugh, and the previously tense atmosphere became lively again.

The paparazzi hiding outside were startled by Xie Qingpiao's gaze.

I hope I won't get discovered!

He quickly dodged to the side and hid for a while. When he peeked out again, he found that Xie Qing was gone.

Huh, where did everyone go?

Did you go to the toilet?

"Are you looking for me?"

A voice, like a ghost, came from behind him.
