Chapter 215 What should we do then?
……
In the lounge of the president's office at the Huo Group, heavy velvet curtains hung tightly shut, blocking out the faint light of dawn and creating a tranquil space secluded from the world.
A contour rises on the large, soft bed, the man's exquisite and handsome face, like a work of art, half-hidden between fluffy goose down pillows, his porcelain-white skin glowing with a thin layer of red, like rouge spreading on the finest white glaze.
Long eyelashes cast shadows on her eyelids, and her dark, tousled hair fell messily across her smooth forehead, trembling slightly with her even breathing.
Outside the door, Huo Yunting, sitting at his desk, put down his documents for the nth time, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the door of the lounge.
finally--
He couldn't help but approach the lounge again, opening the door very quietly, only to be met with a pair of clear eyes the moment he turned around.
"Did it wake you up?"
Xie rubbed his eyes, and the silk quilt slipped down with his movement, revealing his beautifully shaped neck.
"No~"
She yawned lazily, her voice still hoarse from just waking up, "I woke up naturally after a good night's sleep."
Seeing his lover regain consciousness, Huo Yunting seemed to be released from some kind of restraint. He no longer moved carefully or restrainedly, and took three steps at a time to step forward and put his arm around Xie Qing's waist.
She buried her face deep in the hollow of his neck, which carried a faint fragrance, and breathed deeply as if trying to sustain her life.
Because of what happened on New Year's Eve last night, his fragile and sensitive nerves were stimulated, and he was restless all night, wishing he could keep Xie Qing by his side at all times.
Xie Qing was very indulgent. She had taken a day off to accompany him to the company, and even now, being hugged so tightly, she didn't show any impatience. Instead, she smiled and hugged him back, "Are you tired, Tingting? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"My eyes hurt from looking at documents."
Huo Yunting rarely complained, but he wrapped his arms around Xie Qing like a large dog, acting coquettishly. With a sudden pull, he shoved her onto the bed, saying, "Qingqing, want to lie down with me for a while?"
Xie Qing chuckled, but obediently adjusted to a more convenient position to hold him, "Okay, I'll stay with you."
……
The two lay down for about half an hour. After getting up, Huo Yunting continued working, while Xie Qing leisurely lay on the sofa eating macarons and scrolling through her phone.
I was caught off guard by today's trending topic - Zheng Xiao has been criminally detained for allegedly committing multiple violations, followed by a dark red "hot" character.
Clicking on the details, the police report clearly stated: tax evasion, intentional injury, rape... the evidence chain for each charge was complete and clear, and the comment section had already exploded, with comments flooding in like snowflakes.
[Didn't the marketing accounts say that Director Zheng takes great care of new actors, even putting them in bed?! [Pah!]]
[Just a passerby, I just want to ask if his dramas are still airing?] [Holy crap, why did Zheng Xiao have to break the law? His two hugely successful dramas could have guaranteed him a lifetime of success.]
[The person upstairs is doing this because the show became a hit, they have more money, and they've become arrogant.]
Seriously, I'm speechless. Even directing can go wrong these days. -_-||
[The person upstairs is calm. These kinds of things happen all the time in the entertainment industry, but I really didn't expect Zheng Xiao to be involved in legal matters. She's really good at hiding it.]
【…】
Many netizens also shared Zheng Xiao's speeches at film festivals in previous years, in which he spoke passionately about "the social responsibility that film and television cultural workers should have," which now seem particularly ironic.
The most upvoted comment below is: "I suggest carving this statement on the wall of his prison /smile"
Xie Qing continued scrolling down, her gaze drawn to a video taken by a passerby—in the video, Zheng Xiao was wearing a tattered, wrinkled suit that looked like pickled vegetables and was stained with blood, her hair a mess like a bird's nest.
The most striking thing was his face, swollen like a pig's head—his eyes were so bruised they couldn't open, and there wasn't a single unscathed spot on his face.
As the police officers carried him towards the police car, his legs felt like noodles, his knees were clearly unable to straighten, and he was almost dragged along.
Video comment section——
Holy crap, Zheng Xiao got beaten up so badly, I almost didn't recognize her.
As a medical student, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Zheng Xiao's legs are absolutely ruined, completely ruined.
Am I the only one wondering who hit him? (?_??)???
[I'm also very curious about who Zheng Xiao offended to get beaten up like this (oaochuan)!]
[The sudden revelation, coupled with the ability to beat people with impunity, undoubtedly indicates a powerful and wealthy tycoon. (Stroking chin in thought)]
[Anyone could guess that, the key question is who it is (??v?v??)?]
【…】
Once this started, public opinion gradually veered off course, and netizens began to wonder, "Who beat up Zheng Xiao?"
The power of the masses is immense; by digging into this and investigating that, they actually uncovered something—
[A little over a month ago, Zheng Xiao was inexplicably replaced in the drama "Immortal Path," and Lu Sang took her place, making him the prime suspect!]
[The person upstairs agrees. Maybe Lu Sang has his eye on the big IP "Immortal Path" and is deliberately spreading rumors to target Zheng Xiao!]
【…】
The number of people speculating about Lu Sang's "conspiracy" increased, even reaching the top five on the trending topics list. A large number of uninformed netizens flocked to the discussion, but in the end, they couldn't compete with his large number of loyal fans.
[What nonsense! Even if the sky falls, Director Lu won't fall. Demons and monsters, stay away from our handsome Director Lu! \Evil smile]
[The official report is crystal clear, the evidence is right in front of you, yet you're still spreading rumors. Are you blind? (メ`[]′)/!]
[This kind of scum deserves to be torn apart by five horses, he only got a beating, and a bunch of idiots in front of the screen are actually feeling sorry for him. *rolls eyes*]
What level is Zheng Xiao at? Is she even worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with our Lu Sang? Don't try to take advantage of me, okay? \o(′^`)o
[I suggest investigating Zheng Xiao's financial backers; don't just throw mud at others without reason. [smile]]
【…】
Xie Qing was eating melon when a face suddenly appeared above her head, very close to her.
It has to be said that even from this angle, Huo Yunting's face is still incredibly handsome.
Xie Qing blinked. "What?"
Huo Yunting's deep eyes were dark and brooding, with a hint of resentment in them. "Is the phone really that good-looking?"
Xie Qing raised her eyebrows and casually uttered a sweet, romantic remark, "Not as pretty as you."
"Why isn't Qingqing looking at me...?"
Just as Huo Yunting was about to make his move, warm kisses landed on his lips and cheeks, scattering the words he was about to say and making them impossible to gather together.
"Are you still angry?"
Xie Qing stepped back slightly and said with a smile.
Huo Yunting's Adam's apple bobbed, feigning modesty, "There's still a little bit left."
"What should we do then?"
Xie Qing trailed off, her fingertips lightly brushing against the other person's collarbone.
Huo Yunting grabbed Xie Qing's wrist and pressed it against his groin, his ears turning red but his tone forceful. "Qingqing, what do you think we should do?"
Damn, this way of trying so hard to seduce him while suppressing her shyness is just too much!
Xie Qing puffed out his cheeks, grabbed the other man's tie, and invited him, "Tingting, want to have sex here?"
