Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 149 We Might Get Killed

Huo Yunting's flight was at 9 a.m.

Xie Qing had planned to get up early last night to see him off, but when morning came, her body felt as heavy as if it were weighed down by lead, and she couldn't get up at all.

In contrast, Huo Yunting, who had drained Xie Qing's life force, was full of energy and radiant.

He dressed neatly and walked slowly to the bedside. He leaned down slightly and placed a gentle kiss on Xie Qing's forehead, whispering softly.

"Gently, I'm leaving."

Just as Huo Yunting was about to straighten up, a fair arm, as white as mutton fat jade, suddenly wrapped around his neck.

The moment the force is exerted, the muscles in the arm tighten, and the smooth lines are faintly visible, which is both beautiful and powerful.

Xie Qing was still sleepy, her eyes filled with a lingering haze and confusion.

He tilted his head back slightly and gently placed a few kisses on Huo Yunting's cheek, his voice carrying the languidness unique to early morning.

"Tingting, have a safe journey."

"This time, I'll wait for you to come back."

……

Xiang Yiting's opera performance class for Xie Qingbao was a one-on-one teaching model, starting promptly at nine o'clock in the morning.

Xie Qing overslept this morning.

He rushed through the motions, throwing on some clothes haphazardly, brushing his toothbrush haphazardly in his mouth, not even bothering to dry his face, and dashed towards the door, almost kicking off his slippers.

Seeing Xie Qing's anxiety, Aunt Lan quickly packed the prepared breakfast into a food box and asked with concern.

"Young Master Xie, breakfast is here. Please take it to your car to eat."

Xie Qing put on her shoes, reached out and took the food box. "I understand, thank you, Aunt Lan."

A few minutes later, Xie Qing appeared at the entrance of Yunlan Garden carrying a food box.

Looking up, Chu Luo had already parked the car steadily on the side of the road, the engine humming softly, waiting quietly.

Xie Qing opened the back door and got in the car. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Assistant Chu, please drive faster this time."

Chu Luo lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car slowly started moving. "Alright, Young Master Xie, sit tight."

As the car accelerated, the buildings outside the window seemed to be pulled rapidly by an invisible hand, moving backward like phantoms.

The drive from Yunlan to where Xie Qing has her classes takes at least half an hour.

Taking advantage of this short time, Xie Qing opened the food box and quickly finished her breakfast while watching the city street scene flash by outside the window.

With ten minutes remaining, the car slowly came to a stop in the roadside parking area.

"Young Master Xie, we've arrived."

Their destination was just across the street. Xie Qing put on her mask, and the two of them got out of the car together, walking towards the zebra crossing one after the other.

As soon as Xie Qing stepped onto the white stripes, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, as if countless eyes were hidden in the shadows all around, watching her intently.

"Assistant Chu."

He tilted his head slightly and called out softly.

Chu Luo followed closely beside Xie Qing, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the surroundings before she subtly leaned closer to Xie Qing, her lips slightly parted, "Young Master Xie, it seems we're being watched."

Sure enough, as soon as the two crossed the road, a group of tall men dressed in black appeared from all directions.

It's more like they figured out Xie Qing's schedule and "ambushed" him here in advance.

The man in the lead walked to the white car parked by the roadside, opened the back door, and an elderly man in a black suit got out.

The others, their faces as cold as ice, approached step by step, surrounding Xie Qing and Chu Luo.

Passersby, seeing this, thought it was a movie shoot and took out their phones to take pictures.

The moment Chu Luo saw the old man, he knew what was going on.

He spoke in a voice only loud enough for the two of them to hear, "Young Master Xie, the man who came out of the white car is the butler of the Huo family's old mansion."

“When he comes forward, it usually means that he represents the former head of the Huo family, Huo Qiming, who is also the boss’s grandfather.”

Xie Qing hesitated for two seconds, "So... such a big fuss... was at the behest of Patriarch Huo."

"Yes."

Chu Luo said, "I heard from Xing Mu that the old patriarch had sent people to investigate you before, but after the boss found out about it, he dealt with those people and sent them back to the old mansion."

"I didn't expect the old patriarch to still be so persistent, and he sent his trusted confidant directly."

Chu Luo frowned deeply. "They even chose to come when the boss was on a business trip. At this time, the boss and Xing Mu are still on the plane with no cell phone signal, so we can't contact them at all."

Xie Qing glanced at the bodyguards who had surrounded them and said half-jokingly, "Assistant Chu, what do you think are the chances that the two of us can win?"

Chu Luo gave a wry smile. "Zero."

Xie Qing: ? ? ?

"The bodyguards hired by the Huo family are all tough guys who have been on real battlefields. If we were to fight head-on, the two of us might get killed."

"..."

As the two were talking, the old man had already stopped in front of Xie Qing, his voice deep and resonant, like an ancient bell.

"Mr. Xie, my master would like to invite you to the Huo residence. Please come with me."

"it is good."

“If you’re not willing, I can only…” The old butler suddenly realized, “Wait… what did you just say?”

Xie Qing repeated, "I said okay."

The old butler was stunned, and so was Chu Luo.

He pulled Xie Qing aside. The head bodyguard tried to stop them, but the old butler waved him away, saying, "Let them say, with so many of us here, are we afraid we can't catch him?"

On the other side, Chu Luo said, "My dear Young Master Xie, how could you agree to this?"

"The reason why the boss is preventing the old patriarch from seeing you is that the old patriarch has always wanted to arrange the boss's marriage and make the boss marry the person he has chosen."

“When you go back to the old house, the old patriarch will definitely make things difficult for you, trying every means to coerce and entice you to divorce the boss.”

Xie Qing said, "Didn't you say that if we were to fight, neither of us would stand a chance?"

"Since that's the case, I'm too lazy to waste my breath."

Chu Luo: "Even so, we can stall for time. I've already sent people over immediately, they should be here in twenty minutes at most."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bodyguard walked over expressionlessly, said, "You have one minute left," and then turned around and returned to his original position.

Chu Luo: "..."

Xie chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Alright, don't worry, you can go back now."

He was about to turn around when he remembered something and said, "Assistant Chu, there's one more thing."

Chu Luo thought there was something important to tell him, so he immediately perked up his ears to listen. "Remember to ask my acting teacher for leave."

Chu Luo: "..."

……

Xie Qing followed the old butler into the car. Just as the bodyguard was about to drive off, Chu Luo shouted, "Wait a minute."

Xie Qing rolled down the car window. "Assistant Chu, is there anything else?"

Chu Luo slipped a small bag through the car window; the logo printed on it silently proclaimed its value.

He said hurriedly, "Young Master Xie, this contains your medicine."

You must take your medicine on time!

Upon hearing this, the old butler's expression immediately changed.

Xie Qing: "..."

Assistant Chu, are you trying to ruin me?
