The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 578: Passive Love_1

"Alright, let’s go home." She staggered to her feet, saying, "I have to work tomorrow."

"I will help you walk." Seeing her struggling to walk, Huo Qilin immediately moved to support her.

Xia Qingtian did not reject his kindness and leaned on him like an empress. The two of them clumsily made their way out of the bar.

Huo Qilin was about to take out his car key, planning on letting the drunken woman next to him get into the car first, when suddenly...

He noticed a flash of light.

His expressions became very serious instantly. Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he knew all too well what that flash meant.

There must be paparazzi, secretly taking pictures of him.

As he had expected, he looked towards the place where the flash came from, and saw a paparazzo with a cap and camera hanging around his neck.

The two made eye contact, and the paparazzo quickly turned to run.

Huo Qilin wanted to chase after him, but with Xia Qingtian leaning heavily against him, if he chased the paparazzo now, then...

Xia Qingtian would certainly fall to the ground hard.

He could only stand there, watching helplessly as the paparazzo who’d snapped photos of him slipped away.

But he had no regrets, he didn’t.

And he and Xia Qingtian hadn’t done anything inappropriate. Even if the pictures got leaked, it wouldn’t be a problem.

With that thought, Huo Qilin put the sneak shots behind him.

He unlocked the car, helped Xia Qingtian into the vehicle according to the original plan, thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt, and finally, settled himself in the driver’s seat, leaving the bar.

On the way to drop Xia Qingtian off, the window was rolled down, the cool night wind blowing on their faces.

The breeze sobered Xia Qingtian up considerably.

She turned her head and realized that the person driving was Huo Qilin, and the roads ahead were clearly leading her home.

"Huo Qilin, why are you with me?" Xia Qingtian quickly asked.

Before Huo Qilin could respond, as if remembering something, she said hurriedly, "Don’t take me home now, take me to the bar I was at, I was supposed to meet Bingbing there. I’m worried she would come and not find me."

"Don’t worry, I’ll answer all your questions one by one," Huo Qilin turned his head and said to her. "You don’t need to go back to meet Bingbing. She had urgent matters on set. She couldn’t make it to the bar, and she couldn’t reach you over the phone, so she asked me to come find you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian relaxed.

She looked at Huo Qilin, still in his performance outfit, and asked him, "Did you come to get me as soon as you finished your commercial performance?"

"Yes." Huo Qilin did not deny.

Probably, the journalist who took pictures of him had followed him from there to the bar.

"Thanks for being so loyal," Xia Qingtian grinned, giving him a light punch on the shoulder.

Huo Qilin glanced at the shoulder Xia Qingtian had casually punched, a bitter feeling rising inside him.

It seemed that Xia Qingtian didn’t regard him as an opposite-sex friend at all. That’s why she would punch his shoulder in such a friendly way, instead of giving a light pat.

He could only suppress his feelings, casually replying, "We’re buddies, aren’t we?"

A while later, Xia Qingtian’s drunkenness came back, she leaned against the passenger’s seat, looking rather sleepy.

But considering Huo Qilin was there, if she fell asleep, it would be impolite. So she kept forcing herself to stay awake, her head drooping bit by bit.

Seeing her struggle so hard, Huo Qilin found it both funny and annoying.

"Relax and sleep, I won’t sell you off," he teased, then with a touch of helplessness, added, "I’ll wake you up when we reach your house."

Since Huo Qilin had said so, Xia Qingtian, who was extremely drowsy, comfortably fell asleep.

...

When Xia Qingtian woke up again, it was the next day.

Her head was still slightly hurting.

She opened her eyes and took a while to come around, only then realizing that she was in her bed and it was already daylight outside.

The last memory she had from the previous night was being in Huo Qilin’s car.

Huo Qilin had told her to sleep peacefully and that he would wake her up when they reached her house.

Why couldn’t she remember what happened next?

How did she get back to her room?

Did she black out?

Waking up full of questions, Xia Qingtian got up, washed, then went downstairs to inquire about what happened from her housekeeping staff, who then explained everything.

Apparently, Huo Qilin had seen her deep in sleep, and instead of disturbing her, he called a few housemaids to help get her to her room.

So she never woke up at all when she was carried out of the car. No wonder she didn’t remember a thing.

Having clarified everything, Xia Qingtian finally put her mind to ease.

After having breakfast and feeling a bit better from the pounding headache, she dropped by to check on An’an and spent half an hour playing with him. Then, she went to the office.

When she got to the office, she found it odd how her colleagues were looking at her.

Honestly, by now, Xia Qingtian was immune to such strange looks.

She didn’t even need to ask to know that there was news about her circulating online. Could it be Shi Qian causing trouble again?

Didn’t she already divorce Bo Jingyan? What else did Shi Qian want?

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.

Upon arriving at her office, she immediately opened her computer. She wanted to see what incident had occurred this time.

But she couldn’t find her name after searching everywhere. Instead, news of her artist Huo Qilin’s love life had exploded on the internet. The top ten of the hot search chart had three spots occupied by him alone, the topmost having an explosive sign next to it.

She furrowed her eyebrows. Huo Qilin’s relationship was made public? With whom?

Could it be Cheng Bingbing?

But didn’t Bingbing say she didn’t want to be involved in a relationship now? She just wanted to birth and raise the baby in her belly.

In the midst of her confusion, Xia Qingtian opened the trending topic about Huo Qilin.

Under the trending topic, there was a clear picture.

The picture showed Huo Qilin clandestinely kissing a girl’s cheek. She seemed to have fallen asleep on a couch. However, the dim lighting in the private room and Huo Qilin blocking most parts of the girl’s face made it hard to see her face.

Next, it showed Huo Qilin assisting the girl out of the private room. The girl appeared to be drunk, keeping her head down throughout. Her hair dangled in front of her face, effectively hiding it from view.

But it didn’t matter, as Huo Qilin’s face was visible enough.

These were enough to prove that the musical genius Huo Qilin—

Is dating!!
