Chapter 98: Skill is better than skill.
Chapter 98: Skill is better than skill.
Huo Yunting's gaze was fixed on the words Xie Qing said, "It's highly likely we can't go back." But even so, wasn't there still a small chance?
Even if it's just a tiny fraction, in his view, it's a hidden danger that cannot be ignored.
As long as there is no absolute certainty, as long as there is even a trace of uncertainty.
For him, it meant that his gentle presence could disappear from his side at any moment.
Huo Yunting frowned, and his lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line.
Finally, he reached out and picked up the phone that was lying to the side, and quickly dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered, and Xu Xingmu's respectful voice came through, "Mr. Huo, please speak."
"Contact Master Lingyan of the Lingxiao Taoist Temple in City A."
Xu Xingmu was clearly stunned for a second, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly replied, "Okay, President Huo."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo, who was wolfing down her food, noticed that Xu Xingmu was sitting motionless and curiously approached her.
"Brother Xingmu, what's wrong? What did the boss say to you?"
Xu Xingmu was silent for a moment, then said, "President Huo wants to see a Taoist priest."
Chu Luo paused in his shovel of rice into his mouth, and asked in confusion, "Why is the boss seeking out a Taoist priest? Could it be that the boss's headaches have reached the point of being incurable, leaving him with no choice but to turn to ghosts and gods?"
Xu Xingmu glanced at him, "President Huo's headache hasn't flared up for a long time."
Chu Luo was suddenly enlightened. "Oh, right, why is that?"
Xu Xingmu stood up, straightened his sleeve with one hand, and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. I'm going to get busy now. Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating."
Chu Luo continued to eat intently, nodding as she ate.
On the other side, Huo Yunting returned to the room and saw Xie Qing lying quietly on the bed. He quickly walked to the bedside.
He lay down on the bed, stretched out his arms, and hugged the person tightly through the soft blankets.
Xie Qing wasn't asleep; he opened his eyes almost the instant he was touched.
He gently shifted his body in the warm bed and slowly turned over.
With his movement, the two instantly found themselves facing each other.
Xie Qing keenly sensed that Huo Yunting was in a low mood, so she reached out and touched his face, asking softly, "What's wrong, Tingting?"
Huo Yunting tightened his grip on her arm, and murmured, "Qingqing won't leave me, will she?"
Xie nodded lightly, "Of course, I won't leave you."
"Then you promise."
Xie Qing smiled and straightened up, immediately making a vow gesture, "I, Xie Qing, promise that I will never leave Huo Yunting, that I will always love him, like him, and stay by his side forever, and will never break my vow."
His vow sounded like a confession, making Huo Yunting's ears turn red.
After saying that, Xie Qing smiled slightly and asked him, "Are you satisfied now?"
Huo Yunting's face flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly, "So-so, I'm satisfied."
Xie Qing knew him all too well; he was such a stubborn guy, he was probably secretly overjoyed.
But he still asked, "So, what would make you completely satisfied?"
Huo Yunting's ears were already red, but he remained calm as he slowly leaned close to Xie Qing's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing what he said, Xie Qing's eyes widened instantly.
He simply couldn't believe those words had come from Huo Yunting's mouth.
Huo Yunting has truly been corrupted by his own influence, and has even surpassed his former self in this regard.
"Qingqing, is it not okay? If it's really too much to ask, then forget it." That's what he said, but the regret in his tone was that he was afraid Xie Qing wouldn't understand, and he wished he could have made it even clearer.
Xie Qing: Could he say no?
Unable to bear seeing the other person's aggrieved and weak expression, Xie Qing hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Okay."
Huo Yunting's lips curled slightly, and he quickly got up and stood by the bed.
He stretched out his hands and placed them firmly under the other person's armpits. With a little effort, he lifted Xie Qing off the bed and pulled her into his arms.
Xie Qing clung steadily to the other person, letting them lead her towards the bathroom.
As the bathroom door slowly closed, the affair was just beginning.
……
Xie Qing felt that Huo Yunting was acting strangely tonight, being incredibly irritating.
His throat was practically hoarse from shouting, and when we told him to stop, he acted as if he hadn't heard us, instead becoming even more violent and unrestrained.
Xie Qing wished she could strangle her own soft-hearted self from just a few hours ago. How could she have agreed?
Now, I can't even rest when I want to; I can only be pulled into the tide of passion by Huo Yunting time and time again.

The next day, the sky brightened.
Without a doubt, Xie Qing didn't get up again.
After applying the medicine to Xie Qing, Huo Yunting went back to bed and did nothing but quietly stare at Xie Qing.
After a long while, Xie Qing let out a few soft moans from her bright red lips, and then her body twisted slightly.
Her long, curled eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings a few times, but soon they slowly closed again.
It seems Qingqing isn't fully awake yet.
Huo Yunting chuckled softly, then reached out and gently pressed his fingertips to Xie Qing's lips, his expression tender.
He gently caressed her, his movements soft and careful, as if afraid of disturbing the sweet dreams of the person before him.
After a while, Xie Qing finally woke up. He asked in a voice that sounded like it had been stuck with phlegm for a hundred years, "What time is it?"
"It's still early, only eleven o'clock."
As Huo Yunting spoke, he picked up the thermos on the bedside table, which contained sweet honey water.
Xie Qingzhi stood up, drank a few sips of honey water to moisten her throat, otherwise it would have been so dry and astringent that she was terribly hoarse.
After taking a few sips, he handed the cup back to Huo Yunting, saying, "I don't want to drink anymore."
"Then I'll leave it and drink it whenever I feel like it."
Huo Yunting put the things back on the bedside table and asked, "Qingqing, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Xie Qing got angry at the mention of this, "If you had been a little more restrained, I wouldn't have to spend most of the day in bed."
"But it's also very comfortable to be gentle, isn't it?"
Huo Yunting said these words with an innocent look on his face, leaving Xie Qing speechless for a moment.
Although... well, it's comfortable, but you can't do it every day. He's just a mortal, and he's not that resilient.
Huo Yunting hugged Xie Qing, burying his head in the crook of her neck and acting coquettishly, "Qingqing, don't you like it? I thought you would."
Xie Qingzhen had no choice but to say helplessly, "I like it."
Huo Yunting's eyes held a smile, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. "Then can we do it again next time?"
Xie Qing suddenly realized that Huo Yunting was particularly prone to taking advantage of others; this time, he had already started thinking about the next time.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had really been too lenient with Huo Yunting.
Xie Qing originally wanted to refuse firmly, really, but Huo Yunting looked really pitiful!
The tragic childhood experiences of Huo Yunting in the novel involuntarily surfaced in his mind. After pondering for a while, his heart softened.
Fine, if he wants it, let's just give in to him, even if it means his back will suffer.
And so, Xie Qing once again couldn't bring herself to refuse and went along with Huo Yunting's wishes.
