Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 94 Tao Family Birthday Banquet (5)

Xie Qing recognized him, of course.

Her appearance was exactly the same as in her previous life, and her eyes were full of longing.

Xie Qing was certain that the person in front of her was Tao Tao, her assistant from her previous life.

He smiled slightly, as if they had just met, and extended his hand in a friendly greeting, "Hello, Young Master Tao."

Upon seeing this, Tao Tao immediately grasped Xie Qing's hands tightly. Perhaps he was too excited, for he even began to stammer. "You...hello, you can just call me Tao...Tao Tao."

"Yes, Tao Tao."

Tao Tao blushed with joy, her almond-shaped eyes wide and round. Suddenly, she met a chilling gaze and involuntarily shivered, immediately burying her head and pretending to be a turtle.

Mr. Tao explained, "My youngest son had an accident before and became a bit introverted and shy. I'm really sorry."

Xie Qing shook her head. "It's okay, he's fine. Some people are just like that, there's no need to force him to change."

Mr. Tao agreed with this statement and, realizing that they had been standing there for a while, said, "Please come inside, both of you!"

The banquet had been going on for a while, and many people wanted to go up and talk to Huo Yunting when they saw him coming.

This is Huo Yunting, who holds the economic lifeline of City A!

If you're lucky, being chosen by him for a collaboration would be like a godsend.

But it was just a thought; those around him keenly sensed that the big shot seemed to be in a bad mood.

They'd better not go and invite trouble.

Huo Yunting, with a stern face, reached out and pulled Xie Qing, leading her straight to an empty sofa, where they sat down.

He deliberately kept a distance from Xie Qing and stubbornly turned his head away, refusing to look at him.

She just wanted Xie Qing to know that she was angry, really angry.

After a while, Huo Yunting realized that no one was paying attention to him. He turned his head and saw Xie Qing holding a small cake and eating it by herself.

Huo Yunting: How could Qingqing not come and coax him? Don't you like him anymore?

He felt wronged, and wondered if Qingqing hadn't noticed that he was angry.

A few seconds later, Huo Yunting moved back to Xie Qing's side and deliberately coughed loudly a few times.

Xie Qing suppressed a laugh, used her fork to pick off a small piece of the cake from the plate, and waved it in front of Huo Yunting.

"do you want to eat?"

Huo Yunting nodded and said "Mm".

Afterwards, Xie Qing fed the entire plate of cake to Huo Yunting.

After they finished eating the cake, Xie Qing asked him, "Are you still angry?"

Huo Yunting leaned close to Xie Qing, resting his chin on Xie Qing's shoulder, and said, "There's still a little bit left."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Xie Qing turned her head and gave Qingqing a quick kiss on the cheek.

After the kiss, he whispered soothingly, "So, are you not angry anymore?"

Huo Yunting's Adam's apple bobbed. "Okay."

Xie smiled and couldn't help but marvel at how easy it was to please his Tingting!

This scene was witnessed by Qi Xian and Bai Ruizhe, who arrived at the scene.

Qi Xian was brought here by his parents to celebrate his birthday. Bai Ruizhe happened to be with him, so he brought him along as well.

He originally planned to just show his face and leave, but then he heard from the people around him that his brother was also there.

Qi Xian decided not to leave. Instead, he pulled Bai Ruizhe along and started looking for people.

They hadn't been searching for long when they spotted Huo Yunting and Xie Qing sitting on the sofa.

Qi Xian watched helplessly as his brother ate the cake that Xie Qing fed him, bite by bite.

Then, in front of everyone, Xie Qing kissed his brother, who seemed quite happy and stayed close to Xie Qing.

Qi Xian's impression of Huo Yunting as aloof and unsmiling was instantly shattered.

His brother is just too... clingy!

Qi Xian and Bai Ruizhe exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

The two then walked over and sat down. Qi Xian greeted them, "Hi~ Sister-in-law, do you still remember me?"

Xie raised an eyebrow slightly. "My memory isn't that bad."

Qi Xian chuckled, just about to speak.

Huo Yunting straightened up, his brows furrowed slightly, and said unhappily, "Why are you here?"

The tone was extremely disdainful.

Qi Xian: ...

So I shouldn't have come in the first place; it was all for nothing (￢_￢).

Bai Ruizhe smiled politely and, seeing Xie Qing looking at him, took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Hello Xie Qing, my name is Bai Ruizhe, I'm Yun Ting's friend. It's a pleasure to meet you, and of course, I wish you and Yun Ting a happy marriage!"

Upon hearing this name, Xie Qing knew that the other party was the head of the Bai family, and he politely replied, "Thank you."

Huo Yunting lifted his eyelids and glanced at Bai Ruizhe. "Were you dragged here?"

Bai Ruizhe smiled and nodded helplessly, "Yes."

Qi Xian objected, quickly retorting, "What do you mean by being dragged here? This is called 'accompanying,' do you understand what 'accompanying' means?!"

He looked at Bai Ruizhe and said, "Brother Ze, I've already gone fishing with you, which is such a boring thing. I'm just asking you to come with me to a banquet. Isn't that much more interesting than your fishing?"

Bai Ruizhe took the red wine handed to him by the maid, took a small sip, and glanced at him indifferently.

"I don't think I asked you to come with me; you went on your own."

Qi Xian was shocked, "You clearly have it. Why would I voluntarily go fishing, something so boring?"

Bai Ruizhe shrugged: "Who knows?"

Qi Xian was furious. He started rambling on and on, determined to argue with him until he won.

Xie Qing watched with great interest, all that was missing was a handful of melon seeds.

Huo Yunting asked with a long face, "Does it look good?"

Xie Qing touched his face and smiled, "You're the best looking."

Huo Yunting's heart was struck hard, and it started beating fast; even his ears turned red.

He couldn't resist and leaned down to kiss Xie Qing's lips.

The honking from the other side stopped immediately.

Qi Xian looked at Huo Yunting in disbelief, "Brother, we're still here, please don't be so lovey-dovey, thank you."

Huo Yunting said calmly, "Who cares about you?"

Qi Xian: My heart is broken. You weren't like this when you asked me to help take care of Xie Qing.

Xie smiled and noticed out of the corner of her eye that Tao Tao was standing not far away, looking in their direction.

"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

Xie Qing stood up and said to Huo Yunting.

Just as Huo Yunting was about to speak, he frowned and covered the other's mouth, saying, "You wait here."

Huo Yunting: ...

After Xie Qing left, Qi Xian finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha...you haven't even said anything yet, and your sister-in-law already knows what you're going to say. How clingy are you usually..."

Huo Yunting's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as if a layer of frost had formed in them, revealing a hint of coldness.

He spoke coldly, "Have you laughed enough?"

Upon seeing this, Qi Xian immediately fell silent, "That's enough, that's enough."

On the other side, Xie Qing was taken by Tao Tao to a pavilion in the backyard of the villa.

Tao Tao threw herself into Xie Qing's arms and burst into tears, "Waaah~, Brother Qing, I'm so glad you're not dead, I missed you so much..."
