Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 184 Tired, destroy it

"But..."

Zhao Lei stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I'm not sure if he's a poor boy, but the marriage is very likely true."

Did you notice the thin chain around Teacher Xie's neck?

Bao Xin wasn't usually a meticulous person, so when Zhao Lei suddenly asked him that question, he was stunned for a moment before quickly turning his gaze to Xie Qing, who was not far away.

Upon closer inspection, one could indeed see a faint silver chain around the other person's neck.

He nodded. "I see. What's so special about a chain?"

"There's a ring hanging from the chain."

"real?"

Zhao Lei patted his chest and guaranteed, "I saw it with my own eyes, it's true."

Bao Xin was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's just for decoration?"

Zhao Lei thought for a moment, "That's possible."

He shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "No matter how much we talk, it's all just speculation. Who knows what's true and what's false?"

……

Inside the spacious billiard hall, the lights were bright and the sounds of shouts and billiard balls clashing filled the air.

Xie Qing's outstanding looks and tall, slender figure stood out in the noisy scene, like a shining pearl.

He wore slightly fitted black jeans with a simple white shirt, looking fresh and clean. The shirt was casually tucked into his waistband, which made his legs look straight and long, revealing his almost perfect body proportions.

In just the time it took to sit and chat with Tao Tao, Xie Qing had already politely declined several groups of men and women who came to chat with her.

Tao Yue took a sip of red wine from her glass and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Xie is quite popular."

Tao Tao was happily eating fruit when he suddenly heard his third sister's words. The naive Tao thought it was a genuine compliment, and his eyes instantly lit up like two little lamps.

He eagerly chimed in, puffing out his chest with pride, "Brother Qing has always been super popular!!!"

"..."

Is this right?

Tao Yue felt that she would be driven crazy by her younger brother's siding with outsiders sooner or later.

This is ridiculously absurd!

Seeing her older sister frowning and remaining silent, Tao Tao asked worriedly, "Third sister, what's wrong?"

Tao Yue was naturally reluctant to be angry with her younger brother, so she forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

But that smile just looked forced.

But—Tao Tao believed it again.

Hearing Tao Yue say that everything was alright, he felt relieved and moved closer to Xie Qing, starting a new round of lively conversation.

Tao Yue: "..."

Tired, destroy it!

Before long, the young crew members enthusiastically surrounded Xie Qing, chattering and pulling her to the pool table to practice their skills.

Tao Tao followed closely behind Xie Qing, who stood up and carried a delicate fruit platter in both hands.

Tao Yue, unwittingly abandoned: May I ask you something?!

At the pool table, Xie Qing held the cue stick with her left hand, gently pressed chocolate powder onto the tip with her right hand, and slowly rotated her wrist to make the cue stick circle.

What could be a simple action becomes incredibly pleasing to the eye and exudes elegance in his hands.

Who wants to go first?

He set down the chocolate with his slender fingers, his eyes like stars, scanning the people around him.

Xiao Zhang from the props team almost reflexively took a step forward, shouting, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

With a confident smile playing on his lips, he looked at Xie Qing and said with a grin, "Teacher Xie, I won't hold back!"

Soon, the crisp sound of balls colliding with each other rang out, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Xie Qing hadn't played billiards in a long time, and when he held the cue stick, he was a bit rusty. He made frequent mistakes in the first game and, unsurprisingly, lost.

Xie Qing wasn't a sore loser; on the contrary, he sincerely praised her, "You played well."

Xiao Zhang blinked and smiled, "Teacher Xie, you should keep it up too!"

Xie Qing smiled too, his competitive spirit ignited. "Of course."

Not long after her younger brother arrived, Tao Yue also joined the crowd.

Seeing Xie Qing lose the first round, she couldn't help but scoff, "Did you think he was so capable? He's nothing special."

Upon hearing this, Tao Tao immediately widened her eyes and retorted, "Third Sister, don't underestimate Brother Qing, he's really amazing!"

Brother Qing even won the International Mixed Billiards Masters Championship before.

Tao Yue: I almost forgot that Xie Qingdu is standing next to me.

Oh, this toxic fan is actually his own younger brother.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned. "Tao Tao, you trust Xie Qing so much? What if he loses?" Tao Tao's round almond eyes were full of certainty as she replied without hesitation, "He won't lose. Brother Qing will definitely win back."

To paraphrase Xie Qing's manager from her previous life—Xie Qing never disappoints.

This time, he certainly didn't disappoint Tao Tao.

In the following games, Xie Qing gradually regained his touch. Whenever it was his turn to hit the ball, he could clear the table cleanly and efficiently in just one and a half minutes.

Whenever the billiard ball is placed at a tricky angle, and the onlookers whisper among themselves, convinced that the shot has no chance of success, Xie Qing always remains calm and composed, and then makes a perfect shot.

Their movements were beautiful and swift, constantly redefining their understanding.

In the fourth game, Xie Qing stood by the pool table, tilting the cue stick and skillfully applying force.

The white cue ball, like a nimble dancer, spun around the obstacle balls and rushed straight towards the black eight ball. With the sound of the ball falling into the pocket, Xie Qing won!

Tao Yue muttered to herself, "I didn't expect Xie Qing to actually have some skills..."

Tao Tao looked at her older sister with a proud expression, "Third sister, I told you Qing-ge could win!"

Bao Xin, who had been watching the whole thing, remained silent for a long time. "I remember Teacher Xie saying that his level was just average."

Zhao Lei nodded blankly, "That's exactly what he said."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes—this is what you call mediocre skill?! (??? д ???)!!!

Amid the gasps of the onlookers, Xie Qing revealed a slightly teasing smile, "You seem to have underestimated your opponent a bit."

Xiao Zhang: Even if I didn't underestimate my opponent, I still couldn't beat them (╥_╥)

However, he truly accepted his defeat in this match.

The billiard hall was spacious and crowded with people, and Xie Qing's billiard table was surrounded by a lot of people, making it quite noisy.

The person he was sparring with had changed. Xie Qing was completely focused on the ball rolling on the table and didn't realize that he was being recorded.

In a quiet booth in the billiards hall, Si Yun crossed her legs and smiled as she sent a video she had recorded to Huo Yunting.

[Yun Ting, is that your Xie Qing?]

Almost half the people in the arena had their eyes glued to your partner, and many even tried to flirt with him while playing basketball. Wow, he's really popular.

Huo Yunting replied instantly: [Address.]

Si Yun: [The billiards hall on the fourth floor of Jinhua Club.]
