Huo Yunshen carried Yan Qing back to his car. He held her in his arms as they sat in the darkest corner of the car.
Although the winter winds whirled loudly outside, his heart was calm.
“Qing Qing, there won’t be any pain in the future.” His left cheek leaned on her forehead. “I will use my life to protect you. I’m here, so no one can hurt you. Anything you want, I can give to you now.”
Min Jing returned to the driver’s seat. He spoke cautiously, “Shen ge, you mentioned that you want to take all of Yun Qing’s songs offline. Did you…still…?”
“There’s no need.”
If he took all her songs off the shelves, Qing Qing would be upset.
Min Jing sighed in relief. He continued, “Then…Rise Up! Girls?”
Huo Yunshen smoothed out Yan Qing’s hair. “Resume filming.”
Qing Qing likes the show.
Just as Min Jing relaxed, he heard Shen ge continue, “Return to the company this afternoon. Began preparing to acquire Chengfeng Videos.”
The usually composed Secretary Min felt like he didn’t have enough brain cells to use. “Ge, if Huo Corporation buys out Chengfeng Videos, there’s no way that it won’t be making headlines. Such a big display, Yun Qing…would she be able to endure it?”
Huo Yunshen held his little lady close in his embrace, but still felt like there was too much space between them.
Doctor He said that his medicine would lose its effectiveness after an hour. There was only twenty minutes left. He had QingQing for another twenty minutes.
Huo Yunshen lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
To Min Jing, he scoffed. “It’s just Chengfeng.”
Min Jing didn’t let off. “Ge, Chengfeng’s influence is still pretty impactful. To Yun Qing, it might be a huge matter.”
Huo Yunshen always unconditionally conceded on all matters Yun Qing. “….Then postpone the acquisition. We’ll find another way.”
Min Jing didn’t know what the other way was, nor did he dare ask. The car drove back to the garage under Rise Up! Girls filming site. He pulled back into the car’s previous parking lot, as if the car had never moved. Then, he scurried out of the car, not wanting to be a third wheel.
The garage was completely empty. The sounds from pedestrians or cars felt like miles away. Huo Yunshen’s entire world consisted of only this small small corner of the car. He held Yan Qing without moving a muscle, simply listening to their heartbeats beat as one.
In the last few minutes, President Huo could no longer remain like an abstinent monk. From the boxes of makeup that Min Jing had procured, he pulled out makeup remover. He lightly removed the foundation and lipstick from Qing Qing’s face.
What was that, how dare someone haphazardly put just anything on his wife’s face?
In the past, Qing Qing was too lazy. After putting on makeup, she didn’t enjoy removing it at night. He had always hugged her in his arms and removed the makeup himself before allowing her to sleep.
After removing her makeup, Yan Qing returned back to her soft delicate natural face. She continued to sleep soundly in Huo Yunshen’s arms. Unconsciously, she grumbled. “Huo Yunshen, you madman.”
Huo Yunshen lifted her chin, leaned down to meet her lips.
Qing Qing…is this considered madness?
–
Yan Qing experienced a bunch of random dreams. In the dreams, she was in different settings. But there was always a man in the distance calling her “Qing Qing” again and again. Sometimes, he would whisper her name, sometimes he would angrily roar.
She wanted to run over, to see his face. But as she ran closer and closer, they would become further and further apart. Just as she was getting frustrated, her consciousness suddenly returned.
Yan Qing woke up. Moreover, she woke up on President Huo’s lap.
At first, she was still muddle-headed. While President Huo watched, her long eyelashes blinked up and down, before suddenly realizing where she was. She immediately stumbled backwards.
Huo Yunshen’s hand gripped her waist, steadying her. He knew that his time with Qing Qing had ended.
Huo Yunshen smiled bitterly. He adjusted himself, and spoke without emotion. “You’re done sleeping?”
Yan Qing pushed him away, landing on the seat next to him. She was still a bit confused at their current state. Suddenly she remembered the numbness she had felt at the nape of her neck. Angrily, she blurted. “…. Huo Yunshen, you set up a trap?”
Huo Yunshen sidestepped the question. “You said you’ve been living in Canada since you were six. That you had just returned back. Yet your Chinese vocabulary and slang is larger than Min Jing’s.”
Yan Qing logically explained. “My parents are native speakers. I also have friends that are Chinese international students too. Besides, there’s the internet. The more you read, the more you know. Wait, how is that relevant?”
She was like an angry kitten. “Why did you make me lose consciousness?” Yan Qing looked around. She was still in the same car, but three hours had passed. She looked down at her clothes. They were intact, neat. Everything had stayed the same except…her lips felt a bit numb as if they were swollen.
She lifted her bag, ready to smack Huo Yunshen: “….You kissed me!”
Huo Yunshen didn’t stop her. He also didn’t deny her accusations. “En, I’ve been kissing you for two hours in this car. Nothing else.”
Yan Qing wished she had a knife.
She covered her lips, but didn’t forget the reason she was here. “The program!”
“It will resume it’s original film schedule. Seems like a few people messaged looking for you. I responded for you.”
Yan Qing heard that the program was restored and relaxed. She quickly found her phone. It was An Lan’s Wechat. Three messages in a row asking her where she went, when she’ll be back. Huo Yunshen had copied her way of speech and responded without any suspicion.
But she was still angry.
Yan Qing didn’t know how to let out her anger. She roughly pushed open the car door. “You’re done here too right!”
Huo Yunshen swiftly grabbed her hand. He thought that he would be prepared but his heart still ached seeing her turn to leave without hesitation.
He threatened. “I can resume the program. But I can also stop it at anytime. If you want the program to successfully finish filming, then you should listen to me.”
Yan Qing pursed her lips in grievance, her eyes watering.
Huo Yunshen couldn’t bear to see her like this. He wanted to comfort her. Just as he was about to yield to her, she turned her head away. With simmering anger, she whimpered “….Fine then I’ll just listen. But first, kissing and hugging is not part of negotiations.”
Huo Yunshen’s heart swelled. How could she be so cute?
He resisted the urge to pull her closer. He gave her the two boxes in the car. “Take these. One is lunch for you. The other is makeup products. I removed your makeup earlier, you can use these to reapply.”
Yan Qing looked at him, not able to understand. “President Huo, don’t tell me you removed my make up to kiss me.”
Seeing the answer in his eyes, Yan Qing didn’t know what to say to this man. “Why? Do you think someone else’s makeup is dirty?”
President Huo emphasized. “Especially lipstick.”
Yan Qing was angered to the point of laughter.
Big Boss President Huo truly was unique. To kiss a woman, he had to make sure to get someone else’s make up was off.
Yan Qing gave him a big thumbs up. “President Huo truly is a honest and clean man. Respect.”
She realized there was no point speaking reason with this unpredictable man. She took the two boxes as compensation. If he dared give them to her, then she dared to receive them. Why not get free makeup?
Yan Qing looked up. “So you’ve got your kiss. I’ve accepted your things. You should also understand to stop before going too far. Please stop asking me to come out and find you.”
Huo Yunshen clasped his hands together over his lap, preventing himself from asking her to stay. “Okay. However, you can’t cut off communications with me. Answer the phone and respond to messages, or else–”
He didn’t want to threaten her with harsh words, so he simply stopped.
Yan Qing remembered the program’s rules and secretly contained her excitement. She peacefully let out an obediently fake smile and with exceptional consideration said, “Alright, that’s fine. No problem. President Huo don’t worry.”
Afterwards, bam! The car door closed.
Huo Yunshen fixated his eyes on her disappearing silhouette. Only after she completely disappeared from his sight did he hunch his back, adding pressure to manually ease the pain in his contorted stomach.
Gosh, this chapter is like 3000+ words, so I’m splitting it again. The last part of Chapter 6 will be out tomorrow!
