CH 12

Luo Qintian was stunned for a moment by Bai Lixin’s sudden sweet talk, but then he raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

This little guy, knowing that he couldn’t go back to China at the moment, dared to tease him like this.

But Luo Qintian was a man who had a good grasp of the situation. He would not become blind and abandon his work for love. In this way, Luo Qintian had no choice but to suppress his fluttering heart and race against time to deal with the work in front of him faster.

The next day, Bai Lixin started organizing the crew in the studio to start shooting.

Half a month had passed and the motion capture shoot was almost at its end.

On this day, Bai Lixin had just come out of the studio when he received a call from Luo Qintian.

He connected and the familiar husky magnetic voice came from the other end of the line, “Baby, I’m back in China. I just got off the plane five minutes ago. ”

Hearing the news of the other party’s return to China, Bai Lixin smiled lightly and switched to holding the phone in his left hand while his right hand clicked the mouse to see the final results of the actors’ shoot.

“Welcome back to China! Do you have any work to do? ”

“Work is not urgent for now, but I am attending a charity dinner tonight. It’s a bit rushed, but I’d like you to attend the dinner as my companion. We’ve been apart for so long, and now that I’ve arrived in China and can’t see you, I’m really upset. I can only use this means to see you in advance. ”

Bai Lixin was listening as he looked at the computer, and his rapidly moving fingers paused when he heard Luo Qintian’s words. He raised his eyebrows and his eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape, ” Mr. Luo invited me, I am happy to accompany him. What time can you come over? I’m still at the office, but I’ll be ready up in half an hour or so. ”

“There’s no rush. I can be there in about an hour. Take your time, okay? ”

“Okay.”

The two agreed on a time, and hung up the phone.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Bai Lixin used it to process the images of the motion-captured actors. Half an hour passed before he looked at his watch, then put down his work and went to the inner room.

He took a warm shower and changed into a suitable set of clothes before going downstairs to wait for Luo Qintian.

Luo Qintian had already arrived, and the driver who was waiting opened the door for him as soon as he saw Bai Lixin coming.

As soon as Bai Lixin got into the car, a tall body suddenly pounced on him and pinned him to the leather seat. Then a black shadow leaned down, and his lips were tightly captured.

Bai Lixin was only stunned for a moment before he wrapped his arms around the other man and stuck his tongue out to tangle with him.

Only after a long time did they let go of each other.

Luo Qintian looked at Bai Lixin, whose cheeks were flushed from his kiss, and smiled, “Do you remember the day you hung up on me?”

Bai Lixin pouted, “I naturally remember, but I didn’t expect Mr. Luo to hold a grudge and actually retaliate.”

“Haha, I wasn’t retaliating against you just now. I just missed you too much, baby. You said that day that some words should be said to your face, and I have always kept that in mind,” Luo Qintian laughed out loud.

Luo Qintian suddenly turned serious. It didn’t matter that they were still in the car, and there was no red wine nor roses in front of him; he couldn’t help but say: “Baby, the Luo Group has a lot of money and a global reach. But I am the only one in charge, and it’s lonely at the top. Would you like to share the top with me? ”

Bai Lixin turned his head to look out of the window and snorted, “What nonsense are you saying? I don’t understand; make it simple. ”

Luo Qintian sighed and shrugged his shoulders, “I like you. Will you be my lover?”

Bai Lixin’s heart trembled, and he abruptly turned to hug Luo Qintian: “Naturally, I am willing! A hundred times yes, hahaha. But your courtship is so insincere; no roses, no diamond ring, no wine, and no candlelight dinner! ”

Luo Qintian smiled dotingly and kissed the top of Bai Lixin’s hair, “Trust me, I’ve prepared everything you said. I originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to woo you in the most aesthetically pleasing scenario. But the moment you opened the car door and entered, all my sanity vanished and I couldn’t wait a moment longer. ”

Bai Lixin nestled in Luo Qintian’s arms and giggled. When he first befriended Luo Qintian, he had only intended to complete the task issued by the system, but he never thought that he would fall so hard.

After half an hour of driving, the car finally arrived at the private venue where the charity dinner was being held.

The host for this charity dinner was Mr. Wu, a business veteran who was devoted to charity on weekdays. He was honest and reasonable, a true gentleman in the business world, and everyone respected him.

The gala dinner was not small in scale, and all walks of life had been invited. Naturally, Wei Xinyi, who wanted to whitewash her image with charity work, and Xu Haoran, who is an upright character, were among them.

Wei Xinyi’s companion was Zhou Yun, while Xu Haoran’s companion was, of course, the heroine, Wang Sisi.

The moment Luo Qintian and Bai Lixin stepped into the hall, it was as if they were two luminous bodies, attracting the attention of the crowd.

Everyone knew Luo Qintian. He wore a white shirt today, with a pure black suit and a black tie, making him look extraordinarily handsome and magnetic, with an imperial, overbearing aura in his every move, making it impossible for people to look directly at him.

The young man standing beside him was surprisingly no less impressive, dressed in a pure white suit with a light blue tie, his slender body flawless. His face was handsome and fair, his hair slightly curled, as if he were an angel, holy and immaculate. The youth was almost a head shorter than Luo Qintian, but even as he stood beside him, he created an imposing presence of his own that could not be ignored.

The two came together, one in black and one in white, one an emperor of the dark night, the other a holy angel, but it created an unexpected harmony and beauty, making it impossible for others to look away.

Xu Haoran was also dumbfounded as he stared blankly at Lu Xuefei, whom he had not seen for a long time. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

He had never realised that Lu Xuefei was so beautiful and pure that one could not bear to blaspheme, yet he could not help but want to follow him and refused to move his gaze away. He stared at Bai Lixin without blinking, and his body uncontrollably moved in the direction of where he was, forgetting all about Wang Sisi beside him.

Wang Sisi stood beside Xu Haoran and took in his expression without missing a beat.

When she saw that Xu Haoran was about to move forward, she hurriedly reached out to pull his arm and yelled, “Haoran, what are you doing?

Xu Haoran’s body was suddenly alerted, remembering that he was now at a charity dinner with his lover, Wang Sisi, by his side.

“I saw Xuefei and wanted to go up and say hello to him,” Xu Haoran coughed twice with his fist in his mouth to hide his embarrassment and discomfort.

Wang Sisi nodded, “Look at all the people around them. It’s not the right time to say hello. Wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to go over there when there are fewer people? Anyway, there are too many people here, and I’m a bit bored. Why don’t you accompany me out for a stroll? ”

Xu Haoran felt that she was right. Now that many people had gathered around Lu Xuefei and Luo Qintian, he would not be able to get next to Xuefei in a short time, so he had to nod, “Okay, then let’s go out for a walk.”

As she walked past Wei Xinyi, Wang Sisi did not ignore the fact that Wei Xinyi was staring at Lu Xuefei with the expression of a hungry wolf looking at a rabbit, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind, but it was fleeting.

Luo Qintian was the overlord of the circle, and as soon as he came in, those who wanted to get close to him came forward to shush him. If it were usual, Luo Qintian would have sent these people away with a cold face, but today was a charity dinner organized by Mr. Wu, so he pushed down his irritation and patiently made small talk with these people.

Bai Lixin secretly winked at Luo Qintian and walked towards the garden.

Luo Qintian was so well liked that he could handle these people with ease, but there were always a few who looked at him with ill intent. Bai Lixin smiled. With Luo Qintian’s personality, these people would have a hard time in the future.

Picking up a glass of whisky from the tray brought by the waiter, Bai Lixin thought that Luo Qintian should take some time to socialize, so he wandered around the garden in a bored manner.

As he walked, Bai Lixin suddenly heard the sound of lips and tongues intertwining and sucking, and when he looked up, he saw two dark figures intertwined not far from the light. This was a charity dinner, not a party, and they had the audacity to kiss like this in the back garden.

With a slight frown on his face, Bai Lixin was about to exit. He had no interest in listening to the oddness in the corner.

He hadn’t taken two steps back when a crisp “crunch” suddenly sounded in the air. It turned out that he had accidentally stepped on a wooden branch.

The sound of kissing stopped abruptly, and Bai Lixin was slightly embarrassed, as the other party was still hidden while he had already been revealed. It would be better to go with the best of strategies. With this in mind, Bai Lixin planned to flee without saying a word.

But just as he was about to lift his foot, an anxious voice suddenly called out behind him, “Xuefei!”

Bai Lixin gave a start. It was actually Xu Haoran? Then the other protagonist of the kiss just now, wasn’t it Wang Sisi?

What bad luck!

At that moment, these were the same words that were going through Wang Sisi’s mind: bad luck!

Just now, she pulled Xu Haoran out for a walk, but the look on his face still lingered in her mind for a long time, and she became more frightened and anxious, and had to beg Xu Haoran for a kiss to feel secure.

But she didn’t expect that halfway through the kiss, this ingrate would appear!

Xu Haoran stumbled out of the darkness and jumped in front of Bai Lixin, who was about to leave: “Xue, Xuefei, long time no see.”

Bai Lixin didn’t give Xu Haoran a good look, only glancing at him coldly, “Long time no see.”

“Me and Sisi, just now… were…” Xu Haoran was a bit incoherent when he saw Lu Xuefei. When he looked at him, Lu Xuefei was always full of smiles and warmth. When did he ever have such a cold expression?

Bai Lixin shrugged helplessly, “That’s your relationship, it has nothing to do with me at all. Can you please get out of the way? ”

He said and walked around Xu Haoran, and was about to leave.

Xu Haoran was anxious. Although he could not tell what was wrong with him, he did not want Lu Xuefei to leave just like that.

Xu Haoran grabbed Bai Lixin from behind and said anxiously, “Xuefei, don’t go. Please look at me. I have something to say to you. ”

Bai Lixin was just a little annoyed at this moment, annoyed with this kind of person.

Appearing warm-hearted and all righteous, but at the critical point, he could leave Lu Xuefei behind, hypocritical.

He was about to turn around and scold Xu Haoran when his shoulders were suddenly gripped by a generous hand, and he fell into a warm, familiar embrace.

Luo Qintian swept Bai Lixin into his arms as his other hand shook off Xu Haoran’s hand. He coldly looked down at Xu Haoran, as if he was looking at an ant: “My lover can leave whenever he says. Who are you to dare force him to stay?”
