Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 12

Xie Qing rested her chin on her hand thoughtfully, and in an instant, she had an answer in her heart, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

The online discussion continued to escalate, and a few hours later, Xie Qing was once again trending on social media.

Xie Qing went on a variety show to pursue Gu Yan

Xie Qing's Clarification Statement

The Promise Couple reunites

Two of the three trending topics were related to Xie Qing, which once again sparked a barrage of criticism against Xie Qing from netizens.

Meanwhile, in Huo Yunting's office.

Xie Qing was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with a half-eaten bowl of snail rice noodles on the small table in front of him.

Xie Qing ate while scrolling through funny videos, occasionally getting amused.

When Huo Yunting returned from the meeting, he was greeted by a foul odor as soon as he opened the door, which made him frown.

Looking inside, the culprit was enjoying the source of the stench, occasionally laughing at the video in front of him.

I was worried that Xie Qing would be upset by the comments online, and I was thinking as I walked in whether I should comfort him.

It turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary, and someone was overjoyed.

He had been standing at the door for two minutes, and Xie Qing still hadn't noticed him.

Huo Yunting closed the door with a hint of resentment, making a loud noise.

Xie Qing turned her head toward the source of the sound and saw Huo Yunting standing silently at the door.

He keenly sensed that something was amiss, and his "soothing radar" kicked in. He immediately stepped forward and gave Huo Yunting a big hug, saying, "My darling, you're back from your meeting! You must be tired! Hugs."

The moment Xie Qing hugged him, Huo Yunting admitted that he couldn't stand Xie Qing ignoring him, which was why he did something like a child trying to get an adult's attention.

When did he become so childish?

Huo Yunting released Xie Qing, his ears turning slightly red. "Don't call me that."

Xie Qing tilted her head and smiled, her tone teasing, "My darling, are you embarrassed? If I don't call you that, what should I call you?"

"Yun Ting?"

"Xiao Ting?"

"Tingting?"

Upon hearing the name 'Tingting', Xie Qing noticed that the person in front of her looked noticeably different, as if filled with nostalgia.

Xie Qing announced directly, "Then I'll call you Tingting!"

"Whatever." Huo Yunting's eyes returned to normal, his tone indifferent, but Xie Qing still sensed the special significance of this form of address to him.

Xie Qing found it amusing. His lover was indeed an eccentric person. He clearly liked her to death, but acted very indifferently, giving people the feeling of 'I don't like her that much either'.

Such people are difficult to get along with, but Xie Qing likes to face challenges head-on. In his eyes, even his lover's flaws become adorable.

Huo Yunting frowned, resisting the urge to throw Xie Qinghe and the bowl of noodles away, and asked, "What are you eating?"

Xie Qing immediately and excitedly recommended it, "Luosifen (river snail rice noodles) is especially delicious! It smells stinky, but tastes incredibly good!"

"Would you like to try a bite?"

Huo Yunting refused outright without the slightest hesitation. He simply couldn't understand why anyone would like to eat something so smelly.

Seeing his resistance, Xie Qing didn't ask him to try it anymore. She happily sat back down in her original seat, finished the rest of the snail rice noodles, and took out the book she had left there last time to read.

Huo Yunting sat to the side, processing documents.

Neither of them spoke; they were both focused on what they were doing.

The entire office was filled with a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere, and the air seemed to have become exceptionally gentle. Only the soft sounds of turning pages and typing mingled together, like a soothing melody.

Although they didn't look at each other, their presence filled the space with warmth, creating an atmosphere so wonderful it was intoxicating.

That evening, Huo Yunting drove Xie Qing home, with Chu Luo, his assistant, driving in front.

"I'm going to participate in a variety show tomorrow, and I'll be filming for a week. I might have to hand in my phone, so I won't be able to contact you then."

Huo Yunting lifted his eyelids and gave a faint "Oh" to indicate that he understood.

Chu Luo, driving in front: Boss, you'll easily end up without a wife if you keep going like this.

Xie Qing: "Oh, you don't have anything else to say, like I'll miss you or something?!"

Under Xie Qing's expectant gaze, Huo Yunting stubbornly remained silent.

Xie Qing: "..."

At this moment, Xie Qing was also a little angry. He had originally wanted to ask the director if he was the one who did that, but now he had no mood to ask at all.

The rest of the drive passed in silence.

Chu Luo: Oh no, oh no, the boss's wife is really going to be gone.

Before long, they arrived at Xie Qing's residence.

Xie Qing had just left his seat when a hand reached out from behind and pulled him back. Then, he was tightly hugged by the person behind him.

Chu Luo, with great tact, got out of the car.

A deep, pleasant voice sounded in Xie Qing's ear, "I'll miss you, so don't be angry."

Xie Song released Huo Yunting, but her gaze did not fall on him. Instead, she looked out the window. "I'm not angry."

Huo Yunting's eyes looked somewhat aggrieved, as if to say, "Then why don't you speak? Why don't you look at me?"

Xie Qingman casually raised her eyes, and her eyes, which had been smiling, instantly turned cold and ruthless.

"Huo Yunting, I'm willing to coax you because I like you."

He paused, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips, "But I suddenly feel there's no need for that anymore. Let's end our relationship here!"

Huo Yunting's eyes were dark and brooding, as if he had been stimulated. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he held Xie Qing tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

"Can't……"

His voice was deep and hoarse, like the roar of a wild beast, carrying a strong sense of ferocity.

"This can't end here! You provoked me first, Xie Qing, you provoked me first!!!"

How can you just leave like that?

No, he won't allow it!!!

Xie Qing's arms ached from being restrained, but she didn't struggle. From an angle where the other person couldn't see, a wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips, "So what do you want?"

"You don't want it to end here, but you rarely respond to my feelings."

He sighed deeply, seemingly helpless, "I'm tired, I don't want to continue."

Huo Yunting's eyes were obsessive, and he tightened his grip on Huo Yunting's arm. "You can't leave."

"Why won't you let me leave, Huo Yunting? Do you like me?"

"I like you, I like you."

Huo Yunting buried his head tightly in Xie Qing's neck, his voice somewhat hoarse.

Xie Qing finally got the answer he wanted. Sure enough, it takes a push to get things done quickly.

His voice regained its cheerful tone, "Then I won't leave you."

Huo Yunting's hand finally loosened. Xie Qing cupped his face in her hands, looking at him with love in her eyes, and repeated what she had just said, "Then I will not leave you."

Huo Yunting gripped his hand tightly, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Xie Qing, don't lie to me."

"If you dare to lie to me, even if it means mutual torture, I will lock you up and keep you by my side." His tone was obsessive and mad.

Xie Qing was not afraid at all. She placed a gentle kiss on Huo Yunting's face and said in a tender tone, "I won't lie to you."
