Chapter 695: Chapter 695 When the Time is Right_1

Upon hearing this, an ambiguous look crossed Xia Qingtian’s face.

"Oh..." she teased, "So, you really do like Qilin. You would refuse an action in your own favor, but the minute it helps Qilin, you’re all for it. Miss Cheng Bingbing, don’t you think you’re being a bit hypocritical?"

Cheng Bingbing blushed at this mockery.

Without daring to look at Huo Qilin, she clumsily explained, "As you said, Qilin is my boyfriend. He has helped me a lot, isn’t it normal for me to want to help him in return?"

"Right, it is!" Xia Qingtian agreed nodding her head, before turning to Huo Qilin," Bingbing is so good to you, remember to treat her well!"

Huo Qilin couldn’t help but reach out and tightly grip Cheng Bingbing’s hand.

He said with deep sincerity, "Don’t worry, I will!"

His words were from the heart.

Even if Xia Qingtian hadn’t reminded him, he would still treat Cheng Bingbing very well, not allowing her to be wronged or giving anyone else the opportunity to hurt her!

Cheng Bingbing’s face flushed even more when he held her hand.

However, she didn’t withdraw her hand in front of Xia Qingtian.

She didn’t know herself; did she not retract her hand because she didn’t want to let go or because she still wanted to help Huo Qilin maintain the deception they were in a relationship in front of Xia Qingtian.

Not long after, Xia Qingtian received a message.

Up next, it was Cheng Bingbing’s turn to walk the red carpet, followed by Shi Qian and Huo Qilin.

When Cheng Bingbing agreed to walk the red carpet with Huo Qilin, Xia Qingtian had already sent a message to the event organizer, notifying them about their joint appearance.

The organisers were obviously pleased with this arrangement, it would generate more buzz and drive traffic.

However, the time for the red carpet walk was already set. Since Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin were going to walk together, their time would be combined.

They would be spending twice as much time on the red carpet as any other individual celebrity.

The limousine pulled up and Huo Qilin got out first. After adjusting his tie, he turned around and reached out his hand to Cheng Bingbing inside the car.

She inhaled deeply, gracefully taking his hand and, picking up her skirt, elegantlly got off the car.

Their stunning looks, even among the celebrities, were of top-notch quality. Standing together, they presented a significant visual impact to the crowd and cameras alike.

The entertainment journalists present at the scene were stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterward, they began snapping photos rapidly.

For a moment, the flash from the cameras was so bright on the red carpet that it was almost blinding.

Arm in arm with Huo Qilin, Cheng Bingbing asked in a soft whisper, "Why are you willing to help me deal with Shi Qian? You’re even willing to do what you’ve always disliked."

Huo Qilin was taken aback by her direct question.

After a pause, he hurriedly answered, "Didn’t Qingtian just say it? It’s beneficial for my career, making my path to stardom smoother."

Cheng Bingbing kept her gaze steady on the cameras, her face brandishing a perfect smile.

"Those were the words Qingtian used to convince me, but I know that’s not what you truly think!" She said confidently, "If you really cared about your career, you would’ve followed the company’s arrangements for publicity stunts years ago, instead of wasting years singing in bars."

Huo Qilin didn’t expect her to understand him so well. He felt a sweetness flowing in his heart.

Since Cheng Bingbing had seen through him, he decided to tell her the truth, "Actually, I just want to help you. I don’t want others to take advantage of you!"

Cheng Bingbing, with no regard for maintaining her composure, turned to Huo Qilin and asked, "Why?"

Huo Qilin felt her gaze was captivating. He felt compelled to voice his feelings, "Because I..." love you!

The confession was on the tip of his tongue when suddenly...

"Bing-Qilin..."

A fan of both Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin interrupted, shouting their combined name.

Huo Qilin quickly snapped out of it.

Damn, he nearly confessed his feelings for Cheng Bingbing then and there.

Not taking into account whether Cheng Bingbing liked him or not, impulsively confessing here would be too rash and unfair to her.

He wanted to give everything that is best to the woman he loves.

"I can’t disclose it now. But you’ll know in due time," Once Huo Qilin finished, he pulled Cheng Bingbing forward, not giving her the chance to ask more questions.

They quickly reached the stage and started their interview with the host.

The host began by asking routine questions about their upcoming work and thoughts about the brands sponsoring the event.

Once he finished asking the necessary queries, there was still plenty of time left.

The host asked with obvious curiosity, "I’m not asking for myself; I’m speaking for your fans. Does Qilin have someone he likes?"

"Yes," Huo Qilin not only didn’t deny but even glanced at Cheng Bingbing.

Seeing him looking at her, Cheng Bingbing’s heart skipped a beat then started to race. Her throat became dry and she instinctively held his hand tighter.

What did Huo Qilin mean by that?

When the host asked if he liked someone why did he look at her?

He loved Xia Qingtian; shouldn’t he have looked for her among the crowd?

Cheng Bingbing had good control over her facial expressions. Despite the turmoil inside, her face still wore a polite smile, betraying nothing unusual.

The host continued, "Could you disclose the type of person you like?"

Everyone remembered the photo a paparazzo took of Huo Qilin kissing a mysterious woman, but he never responded to it. Until now, they had no idea who that woman was.

Again, Huo Qilin instinctively glanced at Cheng Bingbing then replied, "I like someone who is beautiful, can cook and act..."

Cheng Bingbing almost couldn’t control her facial expression.

The first two descriptions Huo Qilin gave could be about Xia Qingtian. She was no celebrity but more beautiful than most and could cook. But the last part...

Could Xia Qingtian act?

She felt like Huo Qilin was not describing Xia Qingtian but rather ...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Cheng Bingbing’s mind.

The host continued, "Is the person you like present here today?"

Huo Qilin looked at Cheng Bingbing again and said, "Yes."

Unfortunately, Cheng Bingbing didn’t notice his look this time.
