Why Is This Dog of a Man So Enduring?

After the crew finished dinner, Xu Yanche said goodbye to several lead actors and the director.

He squatted by the curb, humming a song as he pulled out his phone to call a car.

The moment he opened the ride-hailing app, a shadow fell over his head.

A pair of polished leather shoes appeared in his line of sight. They looked expensive.

He followed the trouser legs upward.

He saw He Qing looking down at him.

His brows and eyes were cold and sharp, making him seem a little fierce.

Even from such a disastrous low angle, he was still handsome and good-looking.

Xu Yanche naturally slipped his phone back into his pocket, held out his arms to He Qing, and said affectionately, "Carry me."

He said it with perfect ease.

As if they had known each other for a long time.

As if this had always been how they were, rather than two people who had only recently met.

Oh my god, how is this man still so handsome from this terrible angle? Hehehe, I'm eating so well.

He Qing bent down and picked Xu Yanche up from the curb.

Like he was carrying a child, one hand supported Xu Yanche's butt while the other held his back.

Xu Yanche's legs obediently wrapped around He Qing's waist.

"Qingqing Darling, did you come specifically to pick me up?"

This dog of a man definitely came specifically to pick me up. He wasn't wearing this outfit when he video-called me this morning. He clearly dressed up carefully, and he even put on perfume. A faint minty scent. What an exquisite little piggy boy.

He Qing, whose thoughts had been exposed: ...He really didn't leave me any dignity.

Fortunately, his little wife was only thinking it to himself.

He Qing pretended to be calm. "Mm."

Xu Yanche reached out and brushed aside the loose strands of hair by He Qing's ear.

Then he pinched He Qing's earlobe.

Hohoho, he's embarrassed. His ears are so hot. Qingqing Darling is way too innocent, way too cute.

He Qing opened the front passenger door, placed Xu Yanche inside, and fastened his seat belt.

He shut the door, walked around to the driver's side, and got in.

"Do you need to go back to the hotel for your luggage?"

Xu Yanche said, "No, no. I had my agent send it home at noon."

Xu Yanche cleared his throat.

Then, in a sweetly coquettish voice, he said, "Hubby~"

That one word nearly made him drive straight into a tree by the roadside.

He Qing composed himself and focused on driving.

He asked in a deliberately calm tone, "What is it?" That sounded nice. It would be even better if he called me that a few more times.

Looks like He Qing doesn't like that nickname. I won't call him that anymore. He nearly got into a car accident just now. I probably shouldn't ride in cars he drives anymore. I value my life. Forget it, I won't bring up that matter with He Qing. I'll talk to Mom about it later.

He Qing was going crazy inside.

Just now, he had called him Qingqing Darling and hubby, but now he was calling him by name again.

He never said he disliked being called hubby. He didn't. He clearly liked hearing it.

Besides, he was a good driver. He had merely been too excited and too surprised just now, so he hadn't controlled himself.

If there was something to say, then say it. It wasn't as if he were some bad person.

Xu Yanche took out his phone and played Snake. "Nothing. I just wanted to call you that. Drive carefully and don't get distracted. Both our lives are in your hands."

He Qing: "..."

Should I tell He Qing about that? But I already promised Zhang Yue. I should've confirmed things first before saying anything.

He Qing roughly guessed what it was about.

He intended to bring up the topic himself.

But before he could speak—

Xu Yanche spoke first. "Qingqing Darling, I have two pieces of news for you, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear?"

He Qing said, "The good news."

Xu Yanche said, "The good news is that my exploitative company went bankrupt."

He Qing nodded cooperatively and continued, "The bad news?"

At that, Xu Yanche began acting.

He put on a sorrowful expression, looking heartbroken, miserable, and dejected. "Sigh, the bad news is that I'm unemployed. I won't be able to act anymore. Sigh."

You get my hint, right? Hurry up and be domineering. Start a company for me to play with, or just let me join Starsea Entertainment. Then give me a few villain scripts. Let me have some fun.

He Qing knew Xu Yanche's sadness was an act.

Even if Xu Yanche had not brought it up, he would have arranged for him to join Starsea Entertainment and have some fun.

"Tomorrow, I'll have someone take you to Starsea Entertainment to report in."

Xu Yanche immediately said, "Can I bring my former agent with me? We work pretty well together. Don't worry, I don't have any grand ambitions. I just want a few minor supporting roles and villain roles."

He Qing said, "Yes."

This man gets it. Not bad, not bad. Once we get home, I'll reward myself by having a good time ravaging Qingqing Darling~ Hehehe.

He Qing listened to Xu Yanche's thoughts, along with that lecherous laughter.

He fell silent.

What kind of reward was that?

By the usual logic, shouldn't he be the one getting rewarded?

Why was Xu Yanche rewarding himself?

Xu Yanche was in a very good mood. "Thank you, Qingqing Darling."

He Qing said, "Mm."

When they got home, only the study on the first floor was still lit. He Jing was inside reciting key points and doing practice questions.

Everyone else had already gone to sleep.

This little girl is pretty impressive. She's actually kept it up for over a month. Not bad, not bad.

After changing his shoes, Xu Yanche jumped into He Qing's arms and had him carry him upstairs.

Meanwhile, he lazily leaned against He Qing's shoulder.

He was thinking about how to take advantage of him once they got to the room.

He Qing: "..."

He Jing, who was studying in the study: ...His little sister-in-law was so wild. ...You really couldn't judge a book by its cover.

He Qing was afraid Xu Yanche would say something improper in his head again.

He immediately carried him upstairs and shut the bedroom door.

"You..."

He Qing had originally wanted to ask whether Xu Yanche wanted to take a shower. If he did, He Qing would put him in the bathroom.

But the moment he opened his mouth, he was kissed.

It was a fiery kiss.

He Qing's calm eyes turned wildly scorching.

He Qing carried him to the bedside and pressed him onto the bed.

He pulled off his tie.

He rummaged through the bedside table and took out what he had bought last time.

He looked at Xu Yanche lying on the bed. "Is this okay?"

It was only a symbolic question.

Xu Yanche looked very excited.

Th-th-th-this is consummating the marriage, isn't it? I'm so excited. Hehehe, since He Qing is being so proactive, I'll make sure to pamper him properly later.

But imagination was beautiful; reality was the opposite.

Xu Yanche spent the entire night unable to understand it. He clearly looked like the top too, so why wasn't he the top?

He took back what he had said before about He Qing being cute.
