Chapter 580: Chapter 580: I Will Be Heartbroken_1

"Because I want to comfort my girlfriend!" Huo Qilin suddenly said.

"Girlfriend?" Xia Qingtian was completely stunned, "You have a girlfriend? As your manager, how come I didn’t know? Also, who is your girlfriend?"

The company does not prohibit their celebrities from dating, but it is obligatory to report relationships to the company.

So that if a celebrity’s relationship has issues and cannot break up peacefully, the company won’t be caught off guard.

Huo Qilin did not answer her question, instead, he took Cheng Bingbing’s hand.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

After which, Huo Qilin finally announced resolutely, "Bingbing, she is my girlfriend."

Shocked, Xia Qingtian was speechless. She just stared at the two of them, thankfully they didn’t rush her.

After a good while, she finally processed the news she just heard.

"You two are together?" she confirmed once again.

She genuinely doubted whether she was still dreaming or was hallucinating due to Huo Qilin’s astoundment.

"Sister Qingtian, Qilin and I really are dating!" Cheng Bingbing affirmed by nodding.

When Xia Qingtian called Huo Qilin over, she intended to sort out the mess. Instead, after his arrival, her mind became more cluttered, and she couldn’t think straight.

"Wait a minute, let me sort everything out," she rubbed her temples and said, "Let’s take it one step at a time."

"Okay." Huo Qilin nodded with a calm expression.

However, holding Cheng Bingbing’s hand, he was indeed sweating from the nervousness.

Noticing his nervousness, Cheng Bingbing blinked at him reassuringly, "Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I’ll be by your side to face it with you."

With this gentle reassurance, Huo Qilin, who was initially nervous, surprisingly calmed down.

The faint smell of detergent on Cheng Bingbing gave him a sense of tranquility.

Xia Qingtian did not miss the affectionate interactions between the two of them. They looked like a perfect match, which made her want to root for their relationship despite her rational side telling her to calm down.

She turned to Huo Qilin and questioned, "Since Bingbing is your girlfriend, how do you explain this photo?"

As she spoke, she had already pulled up the photo on her phone where Huo Qilin was seen kissing her.

Huo Qilin moistened his dry lips and calmly explained, "Yesterday, I knew Bingbing was with you at the bar. I didn’t trust her to be on her own, so I went there myself, after the event, to pick her up and give you a lift home."

"When I got there, the lighting in the booth was too dim, and I mistook you for her, so I kissed you. When I realized I got the wrong person, I immediately backed off."

"The reason I didn’t answer your calls was because I feared Bingbing would misunderstand me, so I urgently explained to her. Thankfully, she chose to trust me." He sighed with relief as he mentioned this.

This explanation was reasonable and flawless, yet...

"Really?" Xia Qingtian frowned, "Why do I vaguely remember you telling me last night that Bingbing said she couldn’t make it to the bar, and you couldn’t reach me on the phone, so you came to find me. If that’s true, then it means that before you arrived, you knew I was the only one there. How could you mix up the people?"

"Umm..." Huo Qilin was suddenly stumped.

Indeed, what he had said contradicted what he had explained earlier.

His heart, which had finally calmed down, began to race again. Almost reflexively, he glanced at Cheng Bingbing, unsure why, but he somehow felt she would help him.

As expected, after receiving his plea for help, Cheng Bingbing nodded at him, signaling him to leave this issue to her.

Then, she confidently stated, "Sister Qingtian, you probably recalled incorrectly due to consuming too much alcohol last night. Qilin had already arrived at the bar before he received my call informing him that I couldn’t make it."

Her logic and confidence were so remarkable that Xia Qingtian began to doubt whether she remembered it wrong.

"Really?" She suddenly became uncertain.

Cheng Bingbing replied with utmost certainty, "Of course."

With that, Xia Qingtian could only choose to believe Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin.

She didn’t persist on this point and moved on to the next question, "So, when did you two get together? Just yesterday afternoon you said..."

"Sister Qingtian!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Cheng Bingbing interrupted her.

"This morning, Qilin came to see me. He didn’t want any misunderstandings, so under my questioning, he admitted that he liked me. And since I like him too, we’re now together."

"I didn’t expect that the woman I like also likes me back, and we’re even together now. So, I should thank last night’s misunderstanding and the paparazzi who exposed me. Otherwise, I would still be wavering, afraid to confess to Bingbing and risk losing our friendship." Huo Qilin chimed in, in sync with Bingbing,

Cheng Bingbing looked at him affectionately, "When did you start liking me?"

"It was when Sister Qingtian went abroad and asked me to take care of you," Huo Qilin answered, looking at her fondly. "I saw your weakness and strength, and without realizing it, all my attention was drawn to you, and I could not look away."

"Rest assured, I’ll protect you in the future. You won’t be wronged, and I’ll never let anyone bully you again."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Bingbing’s eyes turned red instantly.

Seeing her reddened eyes, Huo Qilin felt as if a bee had stung his heart, causing it to ache.

Almost instinctively, he pulled Cheng Bingbing into his arms.

"Don’t cry, it hurts me to see you cry." His voice was filled with deep affection.

Seeing their display of affection, Xia Qingtian suddenly felt that she was overly suspicious.

It’s evident that Huo Qilin is in love with Cheng Bingbing, but she had misunderstood that he was interested in her.

Fortunately, she did not spread her assumption, otherwise, it would indeed have become a huge joke.

Others might think she’s a narcissist, assuming that every man she sees is interested in her, and how embarrassing that would be.

After a while, Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin seemed to realize that they were in Xia Qingtian’s office, and Xia Qingtian was watching them.

Only then did they reluctantly part.
