Chapter 705: Chapter 705: Finding Opportunities to Date_1

"If there’s no reason, why don’t you hurry up and confess your feelings to Bingbing!" Xia Qingtian felt there was too much dilly-dallying between them.

Being a friend of both and aware of their feelings, she was almost driven mad by their indecisiveness.

"What do these two things have to do with each other?" Huo Qilin found her words to be utterly baffling.

Xia Qingtian rolled her eyes. He was indeed as slow as a block of wood.

If it weren’t for her intervention, he would probably never realize his feelings for Cheng Bingbing, let alone chase after her, even if she liked him.

But who could blame her? Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing were both her artists and friends.

She could not bear to see a pair of lovers wasting time and dwelling on their feelings, but it was also impossible for her to reveal Cheng Bingbing’s feelings to Huo Qilin directly.

The only thing Xia Qingtian could do was to subtly hint at him, "If you confess your feelings to Bingbing and she likes you too, then she will be your girlfriend. Wouldn’t that be fantastic for everyone?"

"What if... she doesn’t like me and rejects me?" Huo Qilin circled back to his previous concern.

Xia Qingtian had already encouraged him to be brave about this issue yesterday, but he still hesitated, worried about the potential risks.

He was afraid that Cheng Bingbing might not like him, and it would ruin their friendship.

Xia Qingtian teased him on purpose, "If she doesn’t like you, she doesn’t. If you can move on, move on. Don’t waste time on her. If..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Qilin interrupted her.

"It’s impossible!" he said seriously, "I’m serious about Bingbing. Even if she doesn’t like me, I will still love her and not any other woman."

Xia Qingtian clapped her hands, "Isn’t that settled then? If she truly doesn’t like you, you should pursue her openly. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, at least you will have an excuse to look for her on the set. You won’t have to keep calling me, sighing that you have no reason to go see her."

After his conversation with Xia Qingtian last night, Huo Qilin was a bit unsettled, but he hadn’t made up his mind.

Having heard Xia Qingtian’s words, he was finally able to relax and made his decision!

He decided to confess his feelings to Cheng Bingbing!

As Xia Qingtian had said, even if he failed, he now had a legitimate reason to be around Cheng Bingbing.

With that thought, Huo Qilin gratefully said to Xia Qingtian, "Qingtian, thank you. I know what to do now!"

Even though he didn’t say what he would do, Xia Qingtian already had an idea but she didn’t expose him.

"Now that you know, stop bothering me, and let me know if there’s good news." She hung up after saying this.

Huo Qilin was still in a daze after he hung up.

He pondered over Xia Qingtian’s words before hanging up — to inform her if there was good news. What did she mean by that?

Was she implying that if he confessed his feelings to Cheng Bingbing, there would be good news?

Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing had a strong relationship and often shared their thoughts. Was Xia Qingtian hinting at some inside information, thus the ’good news’?

Was she constantly suggesting that he confess his feelings to Cheng Bingbing?

Was this Xia Qingtian’s idea or Cheng Bingbing’s?

With these thoughts, Huo Qilin’s heart started to race.

He tried to calm his racing heart, to stabilize himself. He needed to first plan a proper confession ceremony to express his sincerity and increase his chances of success.

...

For the next two days, Xia Qingtian was swamped with work.

That day.

Just after a meeting, her assistant handed her an envelope that seemed high-end.

Xia Qingtian put the documents in her hand on the table, took the envelope from her assistant, looked at it with some confusion, and casually asked, "What’s this?"

Her assistant hadn’t opened it and thus wasn’t sure.

She respectfully said, "The secretary of the Huasheng Group’s CEO sent it specially for you. I didn’t open the envelope, so I don’t know what’s inside."

"Okay, I got it. You can go back to work now." Xia Qingtian waved her hand, indicating her to leave.

After her assistant left, out of curiosity, she opened the envelope. Inside was an invitation to a masquerade ball organized by the company.

Huasheng Group owned the hottest short video apps and live-broadcasting platforms in the country and made a fortune from them.

Although both were related to the entertainment industry, her entertainment company and Huasheng had always stayed out of each other’s business and had had no interactions.

Why would they send something to her out of nowhere, delivered by the secretary of the CEO no less?

Did they want to collaborate with her artist?

But she hadn’t heard anything about that previously.

Just as Xia Qingtian was lost in her puzzles, her phone abruptly rang.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Bo Jingyan.

They’d both been busy these past few days and hadn’t had time to contact each other. Now that she’d suddenly received a call from him, she no longer cared about the masquerade ball invitation sent by Huasheng.

Xia Qingtian put down the invitation and answered the phone.

A cold but gentle voice came from the other side of the phone, "Can I pick you up for the masquerade ball the day after tomorrow?"

"How did you know that I’m attending a masquerade ball the day after tomorrow?" Xia Qingtian asked instinctively.

It hadn’t even been three minutes since she received the invitation when Bo Jingyan called.

Even if there was a mole in her company, the information couldn’t possibly have been transmitted so quickly.

Bo Jingyan chuckled lightly, then answered her question, "Silly girl, the invitation was sent by the CEO of Huasheng at my request."

"Why did you do that?" Xia Qingtian looked surprised.

She never thought that she received the invitation because of Bo Jingyan.

She was curious about why Bo Jingyan had asked the CEO of Huasheng to send her the invitation. What was his purpose?

Was he trying to help her secure funding?

Wanted Star Entertainment to go public more smoothly?

"Of course, I want you to accompany me!" Bo Jingyan answered her question in a matter-of-fact tone.

But Xia Qingtian didn’t feel her question was answered; instead, she was more surprised.

She couldn’t help asking, "Since when did you become interested in masquerade balls?"
