Chapter 458: Chapter 458: The Long-Missed Kiss_1

Xia Qingtian’s mood was complicated today. She was both happy and unhappy at the same time.

While she was happy for Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing’s awards, she was unhappy because of Bo Jingyan and Shi Qian.

Suddenly, she really wanted to drink.

As a manager, when she had to attend events with Shi Qian and Huo Qilin, she had to drink the wine that they couldn’t refuse. So, she took the initiative and drank for them both.

In the middle of it all, Cheng Bingbing’s phone rang.

She looked at the incoming call display, her face turning pale. After speaking to Xia Qingtian, she took her phone and stepped outside to take the call.

Now, Xia Qingtian only needed to drink for Huo Qilin.

Not exactly. More precisely, she had found an excuse to indulge in drinking without others noticing her despair.

Seeing her drinking one cup after another without rejecting any, Huo Qilin couldn’t stand by anymore.

"You should drink less, otherwise, you’ll get drunk." He attempted to take the wine from Xia Qingtian’s hand.

But Xia Qingtian dodged him, "it’s okay, I know my limit, I won’t get drunk."

Then, she pushed Huo Qilin aside and continued chatting and toasting with a newly famous director. "Aside from Bingbing, we have many talented artists in our company. I hope we’ll have the chance to collaborate next time."

As she finished her sentence, she boldly emptied her glass.

She did it so swiftly that Huo Qilin didn’t have the chance to stop her again.

Even if he could block her, Xia Qingtian would not listen.

Following this, Xia Qingtian continued to drink with others.

Huo Qilin tried to stop her repeatedly, but it only annoyed her.

To prevent Huo Qilin from annoying her further, she simply ordered, "You go check where Bingbing has disappeared to. She has been gone for a long while after her phone call. What if she got into some trouble?"

"What will you do if I leave?" Huo Qilin was a bit worried.

Xia Qingtian was somewhat irritable, "If you don’t go, I will."

Saying this, she tried to push Huo Qilin aside to go and look for Cheng Bingbing herself.

She had drunk too much tonight, and her steps were unsteady. If it were not for Huo Qilin supporting her timely, she might have fallen.

Seeing her in this state, Huo Qilin wouldn’t let her go find Cheng Bingbing alone.

He sighed and helped Xia Qingtian to sit in a corner, trying to pacify her, "You must stay put here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll look for Bingbing and be back shortly."

Before leaving, he still felt uneasy, so he repeatedly told her, "Remember, stay here and don’t run around. Bingbing and I will come back to find you shortly."

"Alright, you’re so naggy." Xia Qingtian frowned impatiently.

Seeing that she agreed, Huo Qilin reluctantly left.

As soon as he left, Xia Qingtian got up restlessly. She didn’t go for another drink but realized she was slightly drunk because she couldn’t walk in a straight line.

She felt suffocated staying in the crowded banquet hall and wanted to go outside to get some fresh air.

She used the wall for support and managed to get to the garden outside the banquet hall. The fresh and invigorating air made her feel a bit relaxed, and her melancholy feelings weakened a bit.

The alcohol had worn off considerably, and she felt slightly sober.

So, Xia Qingtian decided not to return to the banquet hall right away. She wanted to be alone and quiet for a while and wait for the alcohol to wear off a little more so she could walk in a straight line without support.

She walked aimlessly along the garden path.

The moonlight was beautiful that night, but she was too dizzy to walk anymore. She found the perfect spot to stand still and admire the view, but just then...

A hand suddenly reached out from the dense shrubs behind, grabbing her arm.

Then, she was pinned against the wall behind her, unable to move.

Then, the person kissed her.

The person emitted a familiar fragrance. It was ...it was Bo Jingyan!

Due to the alcohol, Xia Qingtian was a bit slower than usual.

When she felt someone kissing her, her brain started to function sluggishly.

She subconsciously kissed back.

The shadow against her suddenly paused, then a deep, husky voice rang out.

Bo Jingyan bit his teeth and said, "Xia Qingtian, you asked for this."

Hearing this voice, Xia Qingtian’s heartbeat skipped a beat.

She instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

Xia Qingtian could not escape, nor could she push the man away.

The man kissed more fiercely.

Just when she felt suffocated and was about to pass out, the man finally took pity and let her go.

Xia Qingtian gasped for breath. After a while, her breathing finally steadied.

Seeing this, the man quickly leaned over, intending to kiss her again.

Due to the stimulating kiss, Xia Qingtian was completely sober now.
