Nan Qing blushed furiously and slammed her phone face down on the table.
He suddenly realized that his consultation with Yu Xingyan today was a complete waste of time.
Those so-called "scumbag techniques" might work on others, but Huo Yuzhou, that bastard, is too shameless.
Nan Qing was genuinely curious: how could Huo Yuzhou, with his aloof and refined appearance, utter such shameless and lewd remarks?
Perhaps this is just his nature.
After all, he would put on a wet and alluring show, and wear a glittering silver bra under his conservative black shirt for him to see.
Huo Yuzhou level is too high; I simply can't handle him.
After a long while, Nan Qing touched the burning heat on her face and slowly typed a few words.
A moment later, Huo Yuzhou put down his pen, saw the phone screen light up, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Baby: We're sleeping in separate beds tonight! /Angry
Huo Yuzhou slowly tapped a few times on the screen and replied to the message.
"Don't want."
The scenery outside the car window seemed to slow down. Li Shu turned the steering wheel, and Huo Yuzhou glanced out the window before sending a new message.
Nan Qing looked at her lit-up phone screen; it was a new message.
Male Bodhisattva: Baby, come down for dinner.
Baby: No!!!
Huo Yuzhou's screen showed that he was typing, and a moment later, a new message came in.
" Male Bodhisattva: Fine, I'll get off the bus right now and acquire Huading, then they'll all call you 'Boss Lady'."
" Baby: Huo Yuzhou! Are you kidding me?!"
Huo Yuzhou's lips twitched, but he didn't reply to the message.
Long, slender fingers tapped on the lacquered wooden armrest of the piano. Soon, a series of new messages arrived, the tone somewhat urgent.
Baby: You're not serious, are you? /Thinking
Baby: Your car is really downstairs!!!
Baby: Don't move! I'm coming down right away!
Not long after, Nan Qing rushed out of the hall like a gust of wind, then opened the car door while pulling down the brim of her hat.
The sweltering air, carrying the summer heat, rushed into the car. Nan Qing was met with Huo Yuzhou's magnified face and instinctively reached to close the door.
"I'll switch sides--eh--"
The next instant, the man's long, strong arms wrapped around his waist, easily lifting him up with one hand and pulling him into his embrace, then casually closing the car door behind him.
The car started moving the next second. Perhaps because the accelerator was pressed too hard, Nan Qing's body leaned forward uncontrollably and fell into Huo Yuzhou's arms.
Soft lips brushed against the man's cheek, Huo Yuzhou chuckled, praising him.
" Baby, the way you ran towards me was like a little bird returning to its nest."
Nan Qing raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Don't speak!"
The low laughter, muffled beneath his palms, accompanied by the rise and fall of his chest, made Nan Qing's ears burn again.
The warm breath pressed against his palm, Nan Qing awkwardly withdrew her fingers, then wiped them on Huo Yuzhou's suit as if to avoid suspicion.
Huo Yuzhou didn't object; his clear, elegant phoenix eyes fell on him, and he smiled.
"You're already complaining about this?"
"What will you do in the future, Baby?"
He was speaking seriously, but for some reason, everything he said always sounded like it had a hidden meaning or was malicious.
Nan Qing kept a straight face, trying her best not to respond to his comment.
What should we eat for lunch?
Huo Yuzhou, with his good temper, said, "Anything is fine. What would you like to eat, honey?"
Nan Qing's ears burned even hotter.
He was afraid Uncle Li would hear, and his heart was racing, so he kept his voice low.
"Don't you dare call me wife!"
Huo Yuzhou just smiled at him, his magnetic voice slightly hoarse from being lowered, like a scene from a certain point in time replaying itself.
"But you were very excited last night in the early hours of the morning; you probably like it when I call you 'wife.'"
This time, not only were Nan Qing's ears burning, but her cheeks also started to feel hot.
He was truly exasperated by Huo Yuzhou's sharp tongue, and had no choice but to back down slightly.
"You can't shout outside!"
"Yes, it's calling out from inside."
Nan Qing: "!!!!!!"
He shoved Huo Yuzhou, then angrily rolled off Huo Yuzhou's lap and sat down on the other side.
The car fell silent.
This time, Nan Qing seemed genuinely angry. When Huo Yuzhou asked him what he wanted to eat, he didn't answer, only showing Huo Yuzhou his round head wearing a hat.
Like an angry kitten peering out the window.
Huo Yuzhou was in a good mood and opened the partition.
" Uncle Li, since the young master doesn't say where to go, let's go to the Cantonese restaurant we booked."
Nan Qing listened intently but did not refute.
The car stopped in an area shaded by locust trees. A doorman wearing white gloves opened the door, and as soon as Nan Qing stood up, another figure came around and grabbed his hand.
The man's cool fingers intertwined with his, their skin temperatures overlapping, like a moment of profound intimacy.
Nan Qing quietly lowered her dark eyelashes and secretly glanced at him for a second.
Just one second.
Huo Yuzhou held his long, slender hand, standing firmly beside him as if it would last forever.
-
Nan Qing loves crispy roast goose.
Between the glossy, crispy skin and the distinctly textured goose meat lies a layer of almost transparent gelatinous oil, which is fragrant, chewy, and crispy when you bite into it, offering a rich texture.
But perhaps the atmosphere between him and Huo Yuzhou was a bit strange, because even today's roast goose wasn't as delicious as usual.
However, it was only he who felt the atmosphere was strange. Huo Yuzhou, thick-skinned and extremely comfortable, would tease him from time to time, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
When the winter melon soup was served, Huo Yuzhou raised his hand and used a tissue to wipe the sauce from the corner of his mouth. His magnetic voice became even gentler as he lowered his voice.
"What are your plans regarding the new agent?"
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Nan Qing also became serious.
"I haven't decided yet. I haven't found a suitable agent yet, so I plan to wait a bit longer."
"It wouldn't be good if our beloved star's schedule was delayed because of his/her manager."
Huo Yuzhou looked at him and smiled.
"I have a way."
"But you have to kiss me before I can tell you, Baby."
Nan Qing snorted and ignored his comment.
"Then you might as well rot in your belly."
He looked arrogant, Huo Yuzhou simply smiled and closed the distance between them, his voice filled with emotion.
"As expected, men don't cherish what they have once they've got it."
"She was so well-behaved last night, hugging me and calling me 'husband' in a sweet, coquettish voice, clinging to me tightly, saying she was her husband's Baby. But as soon as we got out of bed, she completely denied it."
He sighed, like a virtuous woman who had been violated and was helpless in the face of a scumbag who refused to acknowledge his wrongdoing; his voice was low and mournful.
"Doesn't your conscience hurt, young master?"
"Who could love you like I do? I worry about you being thirsty or hungry, I worry about you being bullied or having trouble at work, I worry about you secretly crying behind my back, I even help you to the toilet..."
Nan Qing's cheeks flushed red instantly.
But Huo Yuzhou seemed oblivious, continuing to ask him in a serious tone.
"Are you really going to be a heartless man who starts something and then abandons it, Baby?"
