Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 86 I'm leaving now, bye-bye

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Qing was trending on social media again.

The last time Xie Qing trended on social media was when the DA brand released photos of Xie Qing, which immediately went viral.

In an instant, those photos went viral online, and the DA brand sold like hotcakes.

The owner of the DA brand was beaming with joy and immediately sent someone to contact Xie Qing to explore long-term cooperation.

During that period, Xie Qing's Weibo followers skyrocketed, and then... the new fans discovered that their idol hardly ever posted anything.

There are very few Weibo posts, and the latest one is a repost of the Star Picking announcement, which was from several months ago.

Xie Qing's longtime fan: Basic stuff, stay calm.

Xie Qing's new fan: ...

However, this time the trending topic...

#Shocking! Xie Qing is actually involved in sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships#

#Xie Qing was seen holding hands with someone while shopping, seemingly spending the holiday with her lover#

...

Upon clicking through, one can indeed see several photos of the two holding hands, as well as a photo of Xie Qing picking out clothes for Huo Yunting in a store.

Someone managed to capture Xie Qing's face, but Huo Yunting wore a mask the entire time, so no one knew who he was.

Netizens saw this trending topic and started a frenzy of discussion.

[Xie Qing is involved in a sugar daddy/sugar baby scheme? The media knows how to create headlines. Couldn't it just be Xie Qing buying clothes for his family? Why bring up something so trivial? It's really ridiculous.]

I've been to this clothing store, and the clothes are ridiculously expensive!!! Just one or two pieces can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan.

They were still holding hands, so they must be a couple. Could what Qingqing said on the variety show about "supporting a partner" really be true?

[Upstairs, what you said suddenly reminded me that Xie Qing seems to have said something like that.]

[Don't fall in love, don't fall in love!!! Falling in love will only slow down your progress.]

[Stay calm, stay calm, let's wait for the statement and see what Xie Qing has to say.]

[Oh no! Could he be one of those scumbags who cheats you out of money and sex?! Qingqing, you really need to keep your eyes open! We don't want guys who want to spend your money.]

[Why haven't we seen a clear picture of his face? What does he look like? He seems really handsome!]

[Could that man really be Xie Qing's kept man? I didn't expect Xie Qing to be so cunning. He's not even famous yet and he's already doing this. We should just blacklist him!]

[Upstairs, are you sick in the head? If you're mentally unstable, you should go to jail. Don't go crazy online.]

[Xie Qing said on a variety show that he has a boyfriend, so why can't he be her boyfriend?!]

【…】

There are all sorts of online discussions about the man's identity. One outrageous comment claims that he was a male model hired by Xie Qing, and that Xie Qing was so infatuated with his skills that he spent a fortune on him.

Inside the Royal Bay, Xie Qing leaned against Huo Yunting, reading online comments while smiling.

"Hahaha... You're the male model I requested. Your skills are amazing, you've me completely captivated... Hahaha..."

"And this one too: you're a newcomer to the industry, and I had no choice but to sexually harass you, hahaha... This generation of netizens really has a lot of imagination."

"I really, hahaha..."

Xie Qing laughed so hard he bent over backwards. If Huo Yunting hadn't held him firmly around the waist, he probably would have slid off the sofa laughing.

Huo Yunting wrapped one arm tightly around Xie Qing's waist and asked casually, "Qingqing, what do you plan to do? Do you need me to suppress the news?"

In fact, Huo Yunting already knew about this before it was exposed by the media.

But he didn't stop it, for a simple reason: he wanted a formal status.

Xie smiled and took his hand, their fingers intertwined.

"Need not."

He took out his phone and snapped a picture of their tightly clasped hands, then waved it at Huo Yunting.

"Would you mind if I posted this photo on Weibo?"

Huo Yunting was overjoyed, but he calmly said "whatever" on the surface, as if he didn't know what Xie Qing was going to do.

A while later, Xie Qing posted a Weibo post.

Xie Qing: #Shocking! Xie Qing is actually involved in sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships# He's my boyfriend, not in the entertainment industry, so please stop guessing.

Below is a photo of two people holding hands.

A few minutes later, #XieQingOfficiallyAnnouncesRelationship# became a trending topic again.

Some fans were devastated by the news and immediately unfollowed the account, but most fans still left messages of blessing on Weibo.

The happiest person was Huo Yunting, whose smile was so wide he couldn't suppress it.

Xie Qing leaned closer to Huo Yunting and asked him with a smile, "So happy?"

"A little."

"Only a little?"

Xie Qing lowered her head and sighed softly, "It seems I was just being presumptuous. I thought you would be very happy."

Seeing this, Huo Yunting quickly changed his words, "I'm very happy, Qingqing, don't be sad."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently lifted Xie Qing's chin, but the moment their eyes met, he realized that the other party did not look sad at all; he was clearly just teasing him.

Huo Yunting's eyes darkened, and with a hint of anger, he pushed the person down onto the sofa.

His arms were like iron clamps, trapping Xie Qing between himself and the sofa.

Warm breath sprayed onto Xie Qing's face, and her deep voice carried a hint of grievance, "Qingqing, you lied to me."

Xie Qing smiled and looked at Huo Yunting, who was standing close to her, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm so sorry, Tingting, can you forgive me?"

As she spoke, she placed a kiss on his cheek and asked, "Do you want me to kiss you again?"

Huo Yunting's anger vanished instantly. "Yes."

But he wanted to do it himself.

Huo Yunting slowly reached out his hand, his well-defined fingers gently pinching Xie Qing's chin.

His lips pressed against hers, initially just a light touch like a feather brushing against her, almost imperceptible.

Soon, the kiss, like a flame that had been ignited, deepened, becoming passionate and lingering.

Xie Qing thought inappropriately that it was fortunate the villa's maids were already on holiday; otherwise, their reckless behavior would definitely have been caught red-handed.

My phone suddenly vibrated on the sofa.

The buzzing sound seemed particularly jarring in the quiet space filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Huo... Huo Yunting, your... your phone... please stop kissing me..."

Xie Qing finally managed to regain a sliver of reason from the intoxicating kiss.

He pushed Huo Yunting, his breath unsteady, his cheeks flushed and his eyes misty with tears.

Huo Yunting frowned, his face full of annoyance. He reluctantly let go of Xie Qing, grabbed his phone, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Something's wrong."

The other party seemed oblivious to the impatience in Huo Yunting's tone and shouted loudly.

"Brother, is the Huo Group really bankrupt? Are you really being supported by your wife? I haven't heard any news about it."

"You called just to say this?"

Qi Xian finally sensed something was off about Huo Yunting's tone and asked a question weakly.

"Brother, did I disturb you while you were doing your business?"

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Huo Yunting immediately clung to Xie Qing again, "Continue."

Xie Qing: ...

If this continues, his lips will be kissed raw.
