Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Not a Third Wheel_1

"Qingtian, the whole thing is just like this." Cheng Bingbing glanced at Xia Qingtian with a slightly flushed face, "Do you have any other questions for us?"

Xia Qingtian shook her head, about to say no.

However, before the words left her mouth, something suddenly occurred to her, "Right, are you two planning to go public?"

Huo Qilin kept silent, turning to look at Cheng Bingbing as if waiting for her response.

Xia Qingtian was a bit helpless.

It seemed that Huo Qilin was a henpecked husband. After being with Cheng Bingbing, he was willing to follow her instructions in everything.

Well, that’s fine too. She wouldn’t have to worry about Cheng Bingbing being bullied in the future.

Cheng Bingbing thought for a moment, then said, "Let’s not go public, let’s just let things take their course."

Xia Qingtian was very understanding and respectful of the artists’ wishes.

If they didn’t want to go public, then she wouldn’t push it. "I’ll have the PR department try to control the public’s opinion. As for that rumor, let it cool down. After all, there are so many new things in the entertainment industry every day, maybe people will forget about it in a couple of days."

"Alright," Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin didn’t object.

Therefore, this issue was successfully resolved.

Xia Qingtian was very satisfied with this outcome.

The misunderstanding was finally resolved. She would no longer have to hand Huo Qilin over to other agents, and her two artists were no longer single. How could this not be considered as double happiness?

Both Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin were people of good moral character. She felt at ease with them being together.

Xia Qingtian looked at the newly formed couple, sincerely happy for them. "Although the process was a bit complicated, the result is good. Eventually, you two lovebirds have finally come together."

"Indeed," Huo Qilin agreed with her statement.

In a good mood, Xia Qingtian asked, "How about it? Should we go out and celebrate tonight?"

"No need," Huo Qilin replied. "Today is our official first day together; it has special significance. Therefore, we want to spend some time alone."

A faint blush appeared on Cheng Bingbing’s gorgeous face.

Feeling a bit shy, she told Xia Qingtian, "Qingtian, some other day, Qilin and I will treat you to dinner."

Xia Qingtian suddenly felt like she had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food. The world was utterly unfriendly to her.

She sighed, resigned to the fact that there was no way she would have the nerve to third wheel such a young couple.

She waved her hand, feeling somewhat impatient. "Alright, I need to start working. You two ungrateful ones, go on your date."

Perhaps because they were so eager to enjoy their privacy, as soon as she finished speaking, the two of them cheerfully agreed.

"Then Qingtian, we’ll be leaving first." After saying that, Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin left her office together.

Xia Qingtian watched their retreating figures, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her face.

Even though she had just acted annoyed, she was genuinely happy for them and sincerely wished them a long and stable relationship.

Once their figures disappeared from her sight, Xia Qingtian started to seriously focus on her work.

After Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin left her office and made sure nobody was around, they didn’t behave how she had imagined – they didn’t become overly affectionate as lovers usually do.

Huo Qilin quickly withdrew his hand, creating a distance between them.

"Bingbing, really thank you for today." He took a deep breath, his posture relaxing, "If it weren’t for you, Qingtian would definitely have found out about my feelings for her."

"She likes to keep her personal life separate from work. She doesn’t want to have romantic entanglements with anyone from the company, especially her own artists. If she found out that I like her, she would definitely transfer me to another agent."

After he had dropped Xia Qingtian home the night before and then got back to his own place, it had already been very late. He had participated in a day-long commercial shoot, and when he returned home, he had been exhausted.

He had quickly freshened up and gone to sleep.

As he had no work the next day, Huo Qilin hadn’t set an alarm and planned to sleep in.

However, he was awakened in the middle of his deep slumber by his ringing phone. He originally wasn’t planning to pick it up, but the person calling seemed determined to keep calling until he answered.

He picked up the phone, intending to turn it off, only to accidentally glance at the incoming call display – it was his mother.

Reluctantly, Huo Qilin had no choice but to answer the call, his mood becoming irritable.

Given his mother’s character, if he didn’t answer, she was capable of coming directly to his house. To avoid such a situation, he had no choice but to grudgingly answer the call.

Initially, he thought she was calling about her usual complaints, urging him to leave the entertainment circle and join the family business.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected, the person on the other end started questioning him ruthlessly. She asked if he was in a relationship, and who the woman was - whether it was one of those young stars from the entertainment industry.

Huo Qilin was utterly flabbergasted and had no idea what was going on.

His mother took his silence for pretending to be ignorant. She told him to look it up on the internet himself, stating that pictures of him kissing a woman had been captured and were undeniable proof, making any denial from his side worthless.

Finally, his mother sternly ordered him to break up as soon as possible, then angrily hung up the phone.

When Huo Qilin heard his mother say that images of him kissing a woman had been captured, he had a bad premonition. The only woman he had kissed recently was Xia Qingtian.

Then he thought of the paparazzi from the night before, and that bad feeling intensified.

Sure enough, when he looked it up online, he saw that the scandal had blown up.

In that moment, Huo Qilin panicked.

Jiang Chen had just been handed over to another agent for confessing to Xia Qingtian.

He believed that he wouldn’t be an exception.

Xia Qingtian would definitely assign him to a different agent too, which was something he was terrified of facing.

In the end, Huo Qilin had a sudden inspiration and thought of a good solution. As long as Xia Qingtian believed that he didn’t have feelings for her, everything would be alright.

To make her believe, the best way would be for him to find a girlfriend.

However, he didn’t know many women, let alone anyone who could help him. Just as he was about to despair, the image of Cheng Bingbing suddenly appeared in his mind.

In fact, Cheng Bingbing was the perfect candidate.

Cheng Bingbing was beautiful and of good character. During the period when Xia Qingtian was overseas, he had looked after her. Liking her was a reasonable thing.

Most importantly, Cheng Bingbing knew about his feelings for Xia Qingtian, but she had never revealed it to anyone else. She was tight-lipped, and he didn’t have to worry about her spilling the beans and letting others know about the truth.

Another factor was that, as Cheng Bingbing was aware of the situation, he didn’t need to explain much to her.

He just wasn’t sure whether or not Cheng Bingbing would agree to help him. But no matter how difficult it was, he still had to give it a try.

What if it worked?
