Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 93 Tao Family Birthday Banquet (4)

The car door opened, and a man in a white suit stepped out.

He was tall and slender, with an exceptionally handsome face.

That's right, the person who came was Xie Qing.

The two people were stunned, their eyes wide with amazement.

One of them, realizing what was happening, excitedly asked, "Who is this guy? He's so damn good-looking! Is he one of us? I've never seen him before!"

The man's companion felt that the person looked familiar. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Oh, I remember who he is. His name is Xie Qing. He's in the entertainment industry. He was trending on social media not long ago."

"Someone in the entertainment industry?" the man said with a wicked smile. "You're not here to find a sugar daddy, are you?"

Such a beautiful person, even he wanted to have a taste.

He immediately pulled the people next to him, "Come on, let's go up and say hello."

Then, the car door opened again, but on the other side, and the two people didn't see it.

Huo Yunting got out of the car, holding his coat.

He walked up behind Xie Qing in a few steps and quickly draped his clothes over Xie Qing's shoulders.

When Huo Yunting looked up again, he was surprised to find two people standing quietly not far away.

"Have you met me quietly?"

Xie Qing shook her head and said, "Those two seem a bit strange."

The two people Xie Qing said were strange were shaking so badly their legs were practically trembling.

Holy crap, Huo Yunting! Huo Yunting was actually in that car too!!!

The two stopped abruptly, not daring to approach and "greet" again, and quickly walked into the villa.

Tao Ying, who was greeting guests in the inner courtyard, noticed the two guests hurrying by and asked, "What brings you two here...?"

One of them swallowed hard, then put on a smile again. "Oh, it's President Tao. You have a distinguished guest at your residence. They've probably arrived by now."

Tao Ying was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then she realized what she meant, smiled, and said, "Aren't you two our distinguished guests?"

Seeing that she didn't understand, the man said again, "The Huo family member is here too."

Tao Ying: "!"

What did he say?!?

Before she could ask any questions, the two men had already gone inside.

When she looked at the door again, she immediately spotted Huo Yunting in the crowd.

Wow...this is truly a distinguished guest!

Tao Ying first leaned close to the maid beside her, lowered her voice, and whispered a few words of advice.

After giving her instructions, she smiled appropriately and took a few graceful steps to greet the person who had come.

"Mr. Huo, hello! I've often heard people talk about your charisma, and seeing you in person today truly shows that seeing is believing."

I am Tao Ying, the eldest daughter of the Tao family. I have long admired your name.

Huo Yunting remained calm, merely nodding politely at her and replying in a steady voice, "Yes, hello."

Tao Ying smiled, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the person Huo Yunting was holding hands with, guessing that the person might be Huo Yunting's new wife.

Upon closer inspection, she was startled. This... wasn't this Xie Qing?

Xie Qing smiled politely at Tao Ying and slowly said, "It seems that Miss Tao knows me."

Tao Ying paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

"Yes, my younger brother is a fan of yours. He likes you a lot. He knew you were coming and was just waiting here. His family was worried he would get cold, so they called him inside."

Huo Yunting suddenly said, with an ambiguous tone, "Is that so?"

Xie Qing: ...

This "young lady" has started again.

Tao Ying didn't understand what he meant, and continued, "Yes, my brother's room is full of Xie Qing's posters."

Huo Yunting lowered his eyes and said nothing, but his expression grew increasingly gloomy, like the calm before a storm.

Tao Ying also noticed the other person's low mood, but she didn't know what she had done to upset him, so she could only stand there and maintain a smile.

Xie gently scratched Huo Yunting's palm, silently comforting him.

He smiled at Tao Ying, "Thank you for your brother's kindness, Miss Tao. We'll go inside now."

No sooner had they left than Peng Yu arrived.

Tao Ying's eyes narrowed, and she asked him, "Where did you go?"

Peng Yu felt a little guilty. Seeing that he didn't seem to be needed here at all, he went to drink with other people.

"Ah Ying, I..."

"Xie Qing just arrived."

Peng Yu was interrupted and, realizing what was happening, asked incredulously, "You don't really want me to apologize to him, do you?!"

Tao Ying's previous statement that he should apologize in person was just talk. No matter how bad Peng Yu is, he is still her husband, so there is no need to humiliate him like this.

But things are different now. Xie Qing is backed by Huo Yunting, a figure the Tao family can't afford to offend.

Tao Ying gave a direct and firm order: "You must go and apologize to Xie Qing."

On the other side, Xie Qing and Huo Yunting had just stepped into the villa when several people walked towards them.

The leader was a sprightly old man dressed in a Tang suit.

Mr. Tao said with a smile, "I heard that Patriarch Huo was coming, so I came here to greet him. Please forgive any shortcomings in our preparations."

Huo Yunting: "You're too kind, Elder Tao. I'm just a junior. You can just call me Yunting."

Despite saying that, no one dared to treat him as a junior, nor did they dare to put on airs of an elder in front of him.

The surrounding guests started whispering among themselves when Huo Yunting arrived.

"Doesn't Huo Yunting usually avoid these kinds of banquets? This seems to be the first time he's attended one!"

"The Tao family actually managed to invite Huo Yunting. Does this mean the Huo family wants to befriend the Tao family?"

"Hey, who's that woman next to Huo Yunting? She's really beautiful!"

"I know him, I know him. His name is Xie Qing. He's quite popular online recently. His face is really top-notch."

"Didn't they say Huo Yunting got married? Could it be that his fiancée is him?!"

"That's impossible. How could she be a minor celebrity? Maybe she's just a lover?"

"..."

Tao's father chatted with Huo Yunting for a while, smiling, and then noticed Xie Qing beside him out of the corner of his eye. He asked with a smile, "And this is...?"

“He is my husband, Xie Qing.”

These words silenced the entire room.

The person who said "impossible" was thoroughly proven wrong.

They were truly surprised that Huo Yunting valued his male wife so much; he really gave them a lot of face.

Meanwhile, the two people who had been preparing to "greet" Xie Qing mingled among the guests.

Their hearts trembled when they heard those words. Luckily, they stopped in time and didn't provoke Xie Qing, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died.

Mr. Tao, having lived to such an old age, did not show any shock upon hearing this.

He smiled kindly, "I see. I heard about the Huo family head's wedding yesterday, but I didn't expect to have the honor of seeing him today."

As if remembering something, he pulled his youngest son to his side and patted his head.

"Speaking of which, my youngest son is a big fan of your husband."

From the moment Xie Qing appeared, Tao Tao's eyes never left him.

But now that he's been pulled to the front, he feels a little awkward, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.

At the same time, he was thinking that Brother Qing should have recognized him by now.
