Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 140 Gently, I Like You So Much

……

Outside the window, the sun shines brightly.

The clear sunlight struggled to penetrate the gaps in the curtains, dancing lightly in the room with its soft carpet, like a nimble sprite.

Xie Qing had been awake for a while, but was still lying in bed.

The slightest movement he made, even as subtle as a breeze brushing against his hair, caused Huo Yunting, who was still sleeping beside him, to instinctively furrow his brow as if pulled by an invisible thread, and then hug him even tighter.

Unable to get out of bed or fall asleep, Xie Qing lay on her side in bed, idly counting Huo Yunting's eyelashes.

As he counted, he gently fiddled with the pins, recalling the other party's wicked behavior from the previous night, and gradually increased the pressure of his fingers as he fiddled with the pins.

Seeing that the person's eyelashes trembled, as if they were about to wake up, he withdrew his mischievous fingers and pretended to be asleep.

After waiting a while, Xie Qing cautiously opened her eyes a crack—the person was still asleep, not awake.

His mischievous thoughts swelled rapidly like an inflated balloon, and his slender white fingers poked and prodded Huo Yunting's face while he muttered to himself.

"...clingy, kissy, childish...petty and jealous, he becomes a monster in bed, like he's deaf..."

Xie Qing poured out a whole bunch of complaints like beans spilling out. After he had vented his anger, he looked up and saw that Huo Yunting, who had been sleeping, was now staring intently at him.

Xie Qing: "∑(°口°?)??"

The air was silent for several seconds before Xie Qing tentatively asked, "Tingting, what I just said..."

"I heard everything."

Xie Qing's mind was still in a daze, but his mouth had already spoken first, "Let me explain... ptooey, let me explain!" Realizing what he had said, he was so anxious that he almost bit off his tongue and hurriedly tried to make amends.

Huo Yunting lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes like two wings, casting a faint shadow on his eyelids, and his slightly furrowed brows revealed a hint of grievance.

She looked like a big, helpless dog that had been bullied for no reason, which made people feel a pang of pity.

He sat up, looked down at Xie Qing, and asked, "Qingqing, am I really that bad?"

Xie Qing felt a sudden pang in her heart. Despite the aches and pains in her body, she threw off the covers and sat up.

He reached out and cupped Huo Yunting's face, then leaned in without warning and gave the other a hard kiss on the lips.

Xie Qing replied urgently and firmly, "Of course not."

"You are exceptionally good, not bad at all."

His eyes sparkled with tenderness as he kissed Huo Yunting's lips as he spoke, his words of love flowing like a gentle stream: "I love you so much, I love you no matter what."

Huo Yunting's gloomy mood was shattered before it could even settle after being bombarded by Xie Qing's sweet words.

He suppressed a smile and asked with feigned modesty, "Do you really like them all?"

Xie replied with a light laugh, "Really."

"Clingy, childish, jealous... I like every aspect of her."

Huo Yunting could only maintain his composure for three seconds before his tightly pursed lips couldn't help but curve upwards, and a smile spread across his face like ripples.

He wrapped his arms around Xie Qing's waist, his fingers tightening slightly, and his head rested against Xie Qing's waist and abdomen, gently rubbing against her, like a little animal begging for affection from its owner.

"Me too."

Huo Yunting looked up, his beautiful obsidian eyes reflecting Xie Qing's figure.

"...I really like Qingqing."

He rarely expressed his feelings to Xie Qing so directly; he seemed shy and spoke very softly.

Xie Qing smiled mischievously. "Tingting, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Huo Yunting looked somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. "You clearly heard me."

Xie Qing: "No."

A blush crept up Huo Yunting's ears. He remained silent for a moment, then looked straight up at Xie Qing.

"Qingqing, I like you so much."

"...I love you so much."

Xie Qing's heart was completely tingling, as if she were immersed in a jar of rich and fragrant wine.

She gently patted his head, which was buried in his waist and abdomen, and smiled tenderly. "Yes, I heard you this time."

The two looked at each other, and without knowing who started it, they inexplicably kissed.

Xie Qing quickly called a halt, "...Don't kiss, it's time to get up."

Huo Yunting leaned over and pecked Xie Qing's lips again before saying, "Okay."

……

When the two of them got up, it was already noon.

Compared to the past few days when she was so busy she barely had time to breathe, Xie Qing's schedule today was relatively relaxed. She only had one fashion gala event to attend, which was at 7 p.m.

Huo Yunting knew this, which is why he acted so recklessly last night.

After lunch, Xie Qing sat cross-legged on the sofa and replied to Xiang Yiting's message.

A short while later, Huo Yunting came over carrying Xie Qing's medicine.

He placed the cup containing the medicine on the coffee table to cool, then leaned down and hugged Xie Qing, resting his chin affectionately on Xie Qing's shoulder, quietly watching him reply to messages.

About five minutes later, Xie Qing put away her phone, turned her head and planted a kiss on Huo Yunting's face.

"Sister Ting has made an appointment with the makeup artist and hairstylist. I have to go to the company at four o'clock."

Huo Yunting frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

He already had little time to spend with Xie Qing during the day, so he didn't want to waste a single moment.

Huo Yunting took out his phone from his pocket, tapped the screen a few times with his long, slender fingers, and then said, "Qingqing, you don't need to go over there."

Xie Qing's beautiful eyes showed confusion, "?"

Huo Yunting hugged Xie Qing happily, his chin gently brushing against Xie Qing's shoulder. "I sent the address to your agent, and she will bring people over."

Xie Qing didn't say anything about it. After all... compared to Huo Yunting's act of buying a building, he wasn't surprised by anything the other party did.

But seeing that Xie Qing remained silent, Huo Yunting tentatively asked, "Qingqing, are you unhappy?"

Xie Qing turned her head and kissed his cheek, smiling to reassure him, "I'm not upset."

A smile returned to Huo Yunting's lips. "That's good."

Then, he stretched out his arm, picked up the cup from the coffee table, and handed it to Xie Qing, saying, "Qingqing, it's time to take your medicine."

Xie Qing: "..."

Suddenly I felt a little unhappy.

Xie Qing drank the medicine in one gulp, her face contorting from the bitterness.

Huo Yunting twisted open the sugar jar on the coffee table, took out a candy, peeled off the sugar coating, and then stuffed the candy into Xie Qing's mouth.

"Is it still bitter? Would you like another one?"

Huo Yunting asked.

"Need not."

Xie Qing parted her lips slightly, her pink tongue peeking out from under her. "One is enough. This candy is quite sweet."

With a candy in his mouth, he suddenly turned to look at Huo Yunting, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Want to try it?"

Huo Yunting: Gently teasing him again.

He said, "Yes."

The next second, Xie smiled and took the candy jar, took out a candy from it, and handed it to Huo Yunting, "Here, try it."

Huo Yunting asked incredulously, "This kind of test?"

"if not?"

Xie Qingxiao looked completely innocent. "What else do you want to try?"

Huo Yunting realized he had been tricked and angrily bit Xie Qing's small earlobe.

But before he could get angry for long, Xie Qing gave him a kiss and he was quickly appeased.
