Chapter 519: The Favorite of the Entertainment Circle (38)
Qiao Xi was willing to cooperate with her performance.
So when she heard Xia Qingzhi mention the second-in-command, she couldn't help but slow down the movement of flipping through the magazine.
Xia Qingzhi naturally did not miss her changes.
Qiao Xi's reaction further confirmed her idea that they were the same kind of people.
When it comes to talking about men, Xia Qingzhi is no slouch.
"Sister, do you have a boyfriend? You're so beautiful, you must be single. I've been struggling with what gift to give my boyfriend lately. I don't know what to buy. I'm so worried."
Xia Qingzhi asked this.
She also tried to get closer to Qiao Xi, but she kept a certain distance and didn't overstep her bounds. Qiao Xi only frowned slightly at her approach, thinking that she hadn't done anything too outrageous.
Apart from appearing a little unhappy, there was no more resistance.
Xia Qingzhi also grasped this detail.
He stopped at the right place and did not rush towards Qiao Xi.
only.
The girl didn't seem to be interested in her topic. Xia Qingzhi found that Qiao Xi just replied to her in a flat, polite and distant manner, without saying a single extra word.
She couldn't help but curl her lips.
I suddenly felt that Chairman Yu was really boring.
Do all big bosses like those who look cute but actually have no romance at all? Xia Qingzhi wanted to roll her eyes, she was simply too exhausted to complain.
According to her observation.
She recently figured out Chi Hao's thoughts and found that men seem to be attracted to pure types.
For this purpose, Xia Qingzhi dyed her peach pink wavy hair back and straightened it, and then bought a fresh forest-style long skirt which was not her style at all.
And she dressed like this.
She had indeed figured out Chi Hao's thoughts, and the man paid more attention to her. Not only that, when he looked at her, his eyes would occasionally be a little dazed.
Although Chi Hao is sometimes quite silent.
I don’t know what he is thinking about.
But compared to the previous attitude of almost treating her as a transparent person, it is much better.
Xia Qingzhi figured out his preferences.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took this path more seriously. She didn't need Chi Hao to have any feelings for her. For those who sell young beauty like them, all they need is to keep the big bosses fresh.
Thereby extending its shelf life.
Having served so many bosses, they all had their prices clearly marked. Judging from Xia Qingzhi's opinion, Qiao Xi's price was probably not low.
After all, this capital, from her perspective and experience, is purely natural.
Being this good-looking is a gift from God.
Even if she does nothing, there are still bosses competing to pay for her. However, Qiao Xi does look a bit boring, and it would be a waste of such good capital.
Xia Qingzhi had nothing to do and sent a message to Chi Hao.
She has recently been learning the tricks of the alluring heroines in novels, such as accidentally spraining her ankle and leaning into a man's arms, or accidentally losing her memory and then getting a man's attention and being pampered.
[Met Yu Jinnian's woman?]
Xia Qingzhi looked at the message sent by Chi Hao in the chat box and replied proudly.
[Hmm, honey~ Why didn't you tell me that your good friend has a girlfriend?]
Xia Qingzhi also added a little expression pack of aggrieved expression.
Then she took advantage of Qiao Xi who was reading a magazine over there and wasn't paying attention.
Xia Qingzhi tilted his phone and took a secret photo of the girl's current appearance, then sent it to Chi Hao.
When that picture is loaded.
Chi Hao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was completely stunned. He didn't even realize that he had unconsciously clenched his phone.
Yu Jinnian’s...woman?
The thoughts in his mind seemed to stop at this moment, and cracks spread rapidly, occupying all the thoughts in his mind in an instant.
Then it keeps shrinking.
Why did Yu Jinnian touch her?
Qiao Xi is Ce's man.
She is a competitor and a potential threat. Logically, Yu Jinnian would not touch her like this.
And before that, when Chi Hao was on vacation.
He also saw Yu Jinnian's cold treatment and indifference towards Qiao Xi.
So he took it for granted.
The greatest care for Qiao Xi was when he was about to tell her the strategy.
That's why he used Qiao Xi to threaten the other party.
This will maximize the value.
In fact, there was no need to touch Qiao Xi at all, so why did Yu Jinnian...
The pent-up emotions that were blocking Chi Hao's heart suddenly tightened.
For a moment, it seemed as if even the air was becoming thinner.
A strong and strange feeling of dull pain swept over me like a wave during this period of time.
Those feelings that he deliberately ignored.
It seems that they all break out of the ground at this time, growing several times larger.
Stimulated by the messages Xia Qingzhi sent one after another, all those mixed and chaotic thoughts finally reached their limit at this moment.
It suddenly exploded and broke into pieces.
[Boss Yu has really good taste, finding such a beautiful girlfriend]
[Xia Qingzhi: Send real-time location]
[Oh dear, I’m sitting with this girl right now. She looks even prettier up close.]
[It’s a pity that she ignored me. I was so bored alone.]
[Dear~ Are you free to come over and spend time with your dear girlfriend?]
Xia Qingzhi sent several messages in a row.
Not seeing Chi Hao's reply, she felt a little panicked and confused, a little worried that something she said had angered Chi Hao.
then.
She added one last message at the end with a playful tone.
It was originally just to ease the embarrassment of talking to myself.
She hadn't expected Chi Hao to respond, but the next message made Xia Qingzhi sit up straight up, her eyes widening in surprise. She couldn't hide the joy in her expression.
She never expected it.
Chi Hao actually said he wanted to come over!
This boss never took the initiative to contact her, and it was basically Xia Qingzhi who paid for him. But there was nothing she could do, for the money she didn't want to lose.
She doesn't think it matters even if he gives her money.
The boss has his own personality to some extent.
Being able to call her his girlfriend is the biggest reward the boss can give her.
Xia Qingzhi naturally didn't expect her boss to really care about her.
This is how she makes a living.
What man hasn't met her and eaten her? She should just sell herself as soon as possible while she is still young and beautiful to save some money for retirement.
Xia Qingzhi smoothed the hair beside her ears.
He looked at Qiao Xi somewhat embarrassedly.
"Miss, my boyfriend is coming over soon. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward for the three of us to be here? Don't mind me."
Qiao Xi heard this.
He also looked up at her, without any major emotional fluctuations.
only.
In order to make the emotion come across, Qiao Xi acted more seriously, and lowered her head slightly when she heard Xia Qingzhi mention that her boyfriend was coming.
Stand up silently.
She put the magazine away and moved to sit further away.
Then he lowered his head and drank his coffee.
He looked a little absent-minded.
Xia Qingzhi was a smart person, and even in her joyful and excited state, she naturally noticed that Qiao Xi looked obviously abnormal.
She was feeling a little confused.
Before I could say anything.
At this moment, a hurried and chaotic sound of footsteps was heard, and it was getting closer and closer.
In this extremely quiet space.
Such chaotic footsteps seemed very abrupt.
Xia Qingzhi was slightly stunned.
Just as she was about to turn her head to see what was going on, a familiar figure passed by her at this moment, and the person brushed past her in a hurry.
but.
At this moment.
However, Xia Qingzhi clearly saw who that person was and what that person's expression was.
Worried?
anxious?
Or urgent?
A variety of emotions were mixed in it. When that familiar figure appeared in Chi Hao's sight, it seemed as if the air and time were frozen. His disordered breathing didn't even have time to calm down, and his chest was heaving.
It's an uncontrollable violent heartbeat.
Dongdong, Dongdong——
Over and over again, rapid and deafening, accompanied by the surging and overflowing emotions, it seemed as if all the anxiety, worry and urgency had found their true source at this moment.
Chi Hao deliberately ignored it.
I deliberately ignored it, thinking that I could be as cynical as before and touch any woman I wanted.
It seems like I'm completing the last task.
When you meet her, there's no going back.
What is he missing?
Whenever it was late at night and he was enveloped by the pitch-black darkness and quietly bound by the silent tranquility, when he lay alone in bed, looking at the dark ceiling, the figure of Qiao Xi would always appear in his mind involuntarily.
Everything that I deliberately want to ignore.
When night falls.
It became more and more intense, causing his heart to ache.
I couldn't help but be drawn into your thoughts.
Sometimes, while working during the day, I couldn't help but think about what she was doing now. Would she still be crying because she was kidnapped and brought here?
And so on.
Chi Hao didn’t know before that he could be such a sentimental person. His colleagues always said that he had never met someone he truly loved.
So the women changed very quickly.
It's purely for physiological release.
At that time, Chi Hao thought that it would be enough to just listen to it. Talking about love was too fantasy. People like them could not fall in love with anyone.
There is always a risk of being discovered.
You may be arrested and taken to police station at any time.
What's the point of hoping for love? For Chi Hao, this kind of fantasy only exists in the virtual world.
He doesn't need any of that.
Maybe when you were young, in school, you fell in love with someone in your youth.
But that kind of memory.
For him now, it was too long ago, so long ago that he couldn't even remember what that feeling was like.
So long ago that he felt.
I seem to have lost the ability to love others.
But it doesn't matter. In this line of work, every day they live longer is money. Chi Hao would rather be killed by money than live such a miserable and miserable life.
So I have money.
Just indulge yourself.
As for who would be the one to fall on? He just thought the possibility was a little funny and it would never happen.
That’s what I thought when I was young and energetic.
However, as he grew older, his mentality gradually changed, and Chi Hao gradually became tired of this kind of life.
I am also tired of the unchanging status quo.
He entered society too early and was exposed to everything too early.
Always think that the sky is high and the earth is deep.
He would not fall for anyone, but when he really fell without realizing it, Chi Hao himself did not have time to realize such emotions.
Wait until everything can no longer be suppressed.
After hearing the news about Qiao Xi.
When he heard that she was involved with Yu Jinnian, Chi Hao clearly felt that all his emotions were out of control at that moment.
Want to see her.
I just want to come here to see her regardless of everything.
In the past two months, he had countless opportunities to go to the basement and accidentally pass by the room that belonged to Qiao Xi while pretending to be unnoticed.
But no.
Every time this thought popped up in his mind, Chi Hao suppressed it forcefully.
Why did he want to see Qiao Xi?
What reason did he have to see Qiao Xi?
Now that the last mission was complete, there was no need to contact the target anymore. Yes, no matter what happened after that, it had nothing to do with him.
so……
He couldn't go to see Qiao Xi, nor should he go to see Qiao Xi.
However, the more I think about it.
The desire to see Qiao Xi became stronger and stronger at this time. Chi Hao didn't know what was wrong with him. It was as if he was addicted.
The more I understand that I can’t go to see him.
This thought gradually intensified in his mind as time passed.
Uncontrollable longing.
Involuntary trance.
He even found a "girlfriend" to try to recapture the feeling he had at the beginning, but they were just women, so there were always substitutes. If he wanted to play around, he could play around anytime.
His greed for Qiao Xi.
Maybe it’s just because it’s the other person’s first time.
That's why I feel that.
It was just a little bit, but he couldn't forget it. After all, among all the women he had met, no one was a virgin.
Isn't the difference too obvious?
So much so that when he met Qiao Xi for the first time, he was so shocked that he temporarily forgot what to do.
at last.
He had used up all his tricks to coax women and his remaining tenderness, and he had never had the patience to treat anyone like this before.
Until this moment.
Chi Hao finally understood why he didn't dare to meet Qiao Xi. He was afraid that he would lose control and that this unknown feeling would completely control his reason and calmness.
Throw away all weapons and armor.
Escape in a panic.
It had been brewing for so long, and there was no telling what kind of chain reaction would be triggered when they met again. Until this very moment, he finally understood why he had avoided her before.
I suddenly realized it belatedly.
The truth he had been avoiding and unwilling to face was now before his eyes. He didn't dare to see Qiao Xi. He didn't dare to admit that he had fallen for her, and he didn't want to admit that when he was young and frivolous, he said that he would never fall in love with anyone.
He finally failed.
Is it just because Qiao Xi is a virgin?
Not entirely. Perhaps it was because Qiao Xi was so young and innocent that she relied on him and was greedy for him when she was in love.
Even though it was awkward, she still quietly expressed her love and care for him, and her heart and eyes were filled with only his presence.
Such Qiao Xi.
Even after being hurt by him, she still approached him without hesitation, and even slowly developed a sense of trust in him.
And what did he do?
To Qiao Xi, that was tantamount to betrayal.
so.
When Qiao Xi, who was sitting over there, noticed Chi Hao's appearance, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly before widening in surprise. However, her reaction was very fast, even beyond Chi Hao's expectations.
The moment their eyes met.
Qiao Xi quickly looked away, pretending not to see the person.
And she looked cold.
The attitude of treating a stranger as if they had nothing to do with him was also imprinted in Chi Hao's eyes at this moment. His heart felt like it was cut open by a bloody knife, and the tip of the knife pierced deeply into his soft heart, followed by a sharp pain.
The disordered breathing finally calmed down.
It's not easy.
When you meet this person, you face those feelings that you dare not face and have been avoiding and deceiving yourself.
But...
It is always too late to realize how wrong we were.
"Joe..."
Chi Hao opened his lips, and in his beautiful, sparkling and affectionate peach blossom eyes there was a lingering deep pain.
Want to call her name.
But he was afraid of offending her, so he hesitated to speak. In the end, the words remained on his lips, and he could not utter a single extra syllable.
The atmosphere seemed to be at this moment.
Fell into a strange and awkward silence.
Xia Qingzhi was the first to come back to her senses. Her original joy and surprise disappeared after she saw Chi Hao's expression when he saw Qiao Xi.
Gradually turned into shock.
What is going on? !
The second-in-command likes the boss's woman?!
Xia Qingzhi stared in amazement at the two people, who were clearly in a tense mood. For a moment, she didn't know how to react. Compared to the joy and excitement she had felt at Chi Hao's arrival, she now felt like she had just gotten into something truly incredible.
although.
In their circle, ridiculous misunderstandings often happen.
She also often heard it from her sisters in the same field.
But she still felt a little magical when such a magical reality was played out in front of her. It was completely two different feelings. She knew that Chi Hao had someone hidden in his heart, and she was also secretly trying to figure out the boss's hobby to dress herself up.
The result was totally unexpected.
You will meet the queen.
And the White Moonlight, the wife hidden in Chi Hao's heart, is actually the woman of his brother and boss. What kind of melodrama of the year is this? It's really too exciting.
But I ran into such a scene.
Xia Qingzhi also knew that she couldn't say too much, since her employment relationship with the second-in-command boss was over anyway.
As expected.
Just as she finished thinking this, she heard Chi Hao's low voice coming from the other side.
"You can leave now. You don't need to come here again. The money has been deposited into the account."
"Okay, boss. Thank you, boss."
Xia Qingzhi left without any hesitation. There are virtual girlfriends on the Internet who pay a certain amount for an hour of companionship. She is like a real girlfriend who pays by the day in real life.
But they don’t sell it.
She sells.
Even if Chi Hao didn't want her, he wouldn't touch her. Xia Qingzhi felt a little bored that he bought her with a name and treated her like a vase.
She was still wondering in her heart whether Chi Hao was not capable of it.
But none of these things mattered anymore.
Anyway, her relationship with this boss is over, so it's time for her to find the next boss.
"Da, da, da—"
The sound of the woman's brisk footsteps in high heels gradually faded away until it disappeared completely, leaving the space quiet and peaceful again.
There are only two people.
The silence between them as they met again gradually formed an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored. It seemed as if even the air was about to be devoured by the fiery snake of ambiguous affection, until only the two of them were left.
The atmosphere has become different.
Chi Hao walked towards her, and the moment Qiao Xi noticed his actions, she naturally stepped back a little.
The girl wants to leave.
However, there was not much room for retreat, and the only way to leave required passing by Chi Hao.
But...will the man allow it?
The answer to this question soon came.
Qiao Xi wanted to walk around him and leave in a hurry, but when the girl was about to pass by him, Chi Hao's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes dimmed. The man raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back to his side.
"Where do you want to go?"
His hoarse voice was different from his previous impatience towards Xia Qingzhi.
The tone sounded like a question, but it contained a determination not to let go, and Qiao Xi was stunned the moment she heard his voice.
The girl seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.
Her body was stiff.
The wrist that was being pulled by Chi Hao could feel the scorching heat from his palm. The temperature seemed to spread along with her, wanting to burn and devour her, making Qiao Xi want to retreat at this moment.
But had to be pulled.
Get close and merge into this fire.
Chi Hao would not let her go easily, for some reason. From the man's attitude, one could see such determination.
Qiao Xi was pulled closer by him.
She also lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing, without any response to Chi Hao's words.
She seemed to have returned to her former self.
She looked the same as when she was kidnapped by Chi Hao, but there was some difference from that time. This time, there was no aggressiveness in Qiao Xi.
No longer a ferocious little wild cat.
She is very well behaved.
But I am still afraid of him, and only him.
Chi Hao's eyes were deep, lingering on the girl's bright eyes that were avoiding his gaze. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on Qiao Xi's wrist.
And such force.
Naturally, the girl felt the pain, frowned slightly, and looked up at him almost subconsciously.
By this time.
Their eyes finally met again, but after realizing this, Qiao Xi subconsciously wanted to escape.
But Chi Hao didn't give her such an opportunity.
When Qiao Xi was about to look away, Chi Hao had already raised his hand and pinched her cheek, forcing the girl to look up at him.
"Afraid of me?"
However, Qiao Xi, whose cheeks were pinched by him, finally opened her lips, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"...Second-in-command, please respect yourself."
She said so.
The polite yet distant words seemed devoid of any personal feelings. It was like talking to an insignificant person, even distant and indifferent.
I don't want to look at him anymore.
However, Qiao Xi's attitude and expression, as if she wanted to distance herself from him, made Chi Hao's heart tighten, and he became uncontrollably anxious.
Second in command?
Hearing such a name from Qiao Xi's mouth, there was only sarcasm.
He just hated the fact that Qiao Xi wanted to cut off ties with him.
He also knew clearly the harm he had caused to the girl before.
Even if you have been mentally prepared for a long time, when you really face it, it is another matter.
Emotions control reason.
An impulse surged into his mind, and Chi Hao pulled the defenseless girl over and kissed her fiercely.
