With a head full of questions, Mengxin clicked in to take a look.
The moment her gaze fell upon the photo of their intertwined fingers, she was instantly captivated by the ring in the picture.
These rings... weren't they bought by Xie Qing? How did they end up in the hands of the president of the Huo Group?
Could it be...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Mengxin immediately searched online for Huo Yunting's financial interviews from previous years.
The moment she heard the other person's voice, she understood completely.
She wondered why her boss was so proactive!
Just then, another message came from the boss.
Got it? Try making another call.
Mengxin was silent for a moment, then replied, "Ms. Meng, how about I give you my phone number and you call?"
Meng Zong: [Who's the boss here, you or me? Didn't we already fight once? Fighting again won't hurt.]
Mengxin spoke frankly: "I wouldn't dare! President Meng, I've never dealt with such important figures before. What if I say the wrong thing and anger them?"
Dream: [True.]
Mengxin: [Ms. Meng, we can contact Xie Qing's agent, how could we forget that?]
Meng Zong: [Then go and contact them quickly. This matter must be resolved today.]
Mengxin: [Okay, Ms. Meng, I'll go right now.]

The next morning, Xie Qing was awakened by the shrill ringing of the telephone.
He struggled to open his eyes, and after groping around on the bedside table for a while, he finally managed to pull out his phone.
The call connected, and Xiang Yiting's voice came through the receiver, "Xie Qing, are you awake?"
"You're awake, Sister Ting. What's wrong?"
Xie Qing's voice was a little sticky, as if she hadn't fully woken up from her sleep.
In reality, he was indeed not fully awake yet.
"You only signed a one-year endorsement deal with Mengli Jewelry, right? They want you to be their spokesperson long-term. I've reviewed the contract, and it's fine. They seem very sincere. What do you think?"
Xie Qing was now fully awake. After weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Sign."
"Okay, I'll go talk to them. I'll send you the electronic contract later."
Xie Qing was about to utter a "good" when the hand around his waist suddenly tightened.
Immediately afterwards, a warm breath, like a feather, landed on his neck, carrying a unique intimacy.
A questioning voice came from the phone, "Xie Qing, are you still there?"
Xie Qing shrank back and quickly said, "Sister Ting, I understand, I'll hang up now."
He put down his phone, and then a sliver of red that had inadvertently peeked out from his wrist caught his eye.
Xie Qing subconsciously pulled up her sleeve, exposing her left wrist.
On her fair wrist was a woven red rope, with three ancient coins strung on it, giving it a sense of age and vicissitude.
This is......
"This is a red string that can protect people and keep them safe and sound. I put it on you while you were sleeping."
Huo Yunting, who was pressed close to Xie Qing's back, suddenly spoke.
Xie Qing slowly turned around, a gentle smile on her face.
"Tingting, I didn't expect you to believe in these things."
His voice rose slightly at the end, carrying a unique charm. His long eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly about to take flight, both lively and alluring.
"The overall meaning is good."
Xie Qing nodded in agreement, raised her left hand, and carefully examined the red rope.
What he didn't notice was that Huo Yunting's eyes looked somewhat sickly and obsessive at that moment.
Huo Yunting lied. He didn't go to the company yesterday; he went to Lingxiao Taoist Temple instead.
This red string isn't for protecting people's safety; the three ancient coins on it are for locking away the soul.
Huo Yunting was terrified that Xie Qing would disappear, and since scientific methods couldn't solve the problem, he could only pray to God.
Xie Qing watched for a while, then leaned over and kissed Huo Yunting. "Thank you, Tingting, baby. I like it very much."
Huo Yunting hugged her tighter, his eyes softening, "I'm glad you like it."
If asked whether he felt any guilt, Huo Yunting would answer without hesitation: No.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Qingqing had already promised to stay with him forever; his actions were merely to reassure her.
Just to... keep my lover forever.

The Spring Festival holiday quickly came to an end. Those who were eagerly heading home for the New Year were either buying tickets or driving...
They returned to their respective workstations and began a busy new year.
That evening, Xie Qing refused Huo Yunting's advances, saying firmly, "No, you have to go to work tomorrow morning."
Huo Yunting used to be a workaholic, but that was then. Now, he has developed a slight aversion to going to work.
He stretched out his arms and gently embraced Xie Qing, resting his chin on her shoulder. With a touch of longing, he murmured, "I really want to pack Qing Qing up and take her to work with me."
After all, her loved one would be joining the film crew in a few days, and then she wouldn't see him for another month or two.
Xie Qing joked, "Okay, I have no objection."
Where Xie Qing couldn't see, Huo Yunting's eyes were filled with a stubbornness, yet also with a hint of excitement.
Gently... does that mean you agree?
……
The next morning, the warm winter sun shone through the gaps in the curtains.
Xie Qing yawned sleepily, his eyes still half-closed, and he was still immersed in lingering drowsiness as he swayed and climbed out of bed.
At that moment, faint voices drifted in from outside the door, reaching Xie Qing's ears.
He shuffled along in his slippers, half-asleep, until he reached the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, three men in sharp suits came into view, each holding a report and looking very serious.
Xie Qing: "!"
Wait a minute, is it because he opened the door wrong?
The three department managers who were giving their reports were stunned for a few seconds, but they quickly understood what was going on.
They were wondering why the CEO was being so gentle today. Turns out, it's the boss's wife!
Normally, the chill emanating from him would make people want to stay three feet away.
Seeing the man come out, Huo Yunting picked up his coat from the chair, walked a few steps to Xie Qing, and draped it over his shoulders. "Why did you come out in your pajamas?"
The other three exchanged glances and walked out of the office in perfect unison.
After realizing where she was, Xie Qing was both amused and exasperated. "You really did bring me along."
Huo Yunting leaned closer to Xie Qing, his previously cold and hard face instantly softening.
"Didn't Qingqing agree? I have no reason not to do it."
Xie Qing expressed her deep admiration for Huo Yunting's exceptional execution for the nth time.
Huo Yunting pulled her into the lounge. "Your clothes are prepared in the lounge. Please put them on gently."
