Chapter 343: Chapter 343 You look too cute when you are jealous
Lin Qi: “Don’t!”
Huo Tingdong didn’t care what she wanted, he stretched out his hand and immediately pulled her into his arms.
She struggled for a moment, but his arm was tightly wrapped around her waist, and he lowered his voice threateningly in her ear: “Enough is enough.”
She could act, and he could play along, but she could not refuse his embrace!
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately behaved!
Huo Tingdong held her, kissed her reassuringly, not hiding it at all even though Song Shuyan was sitting right opposite them.
When Lin Qi finally “calmed” down, he raised his head, turned to the opposite side, his eyes coldly indifferent: “Song Shuyan, what are you up to now?”
Song Shuyan also pretended to be aggrieved: “I don’t know! She suddenly called me to meet at the café, I just arrived, and was being polite, when she insisted I abort the child! I told her… actually, you had already tacitly agreed to let me have the child, you said so, didn’t you?”
Huo Tingdong looked at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was eagerly looking at him.
Huo Tingdong felt a headache coming on, and reluctantly nodded.
Seeing Huo Tingdong nod in front of Lin Qi, Song Shuyan’s heart leaped with joy: “Tingdong…”
Huo Tingdong said: “I just said that you can have the child, if it’s mine, I’ll raise it, but I didn’t acknowledge you.”
Lin Qi discontentedly retorted: “What’s the difference? Why would you let another woman have your child?”
Huo Tingdong said: “I…”
Lin Qi again covered her ears: “Liar! I won’t listen! Huo Tingdong, I’m so disappointed in you! You actually lied to me!”
Huo Tingdong: “…”
It’s all an act, but can’t she call him “husband”?
He looked helplessly at Song Shuyan: “Song Shuyan, from now on, you’re not allowed to see each other! You know very well how the child in your belly came about! I agreed to let you have the child, that’s already more than generous, don’t take it for granted. I’ll say it again, I only acknowledge the child, not you, if I find out you’ve met secretly again, challenging my wife, I won’t let you off!”
Song Shuyan said: “I didn’t provoke…”
Huo Tingdong said: “Shut up.”
He looked at the girl who had grown up with him, now, looking at her, he felt nothing but disgust, so disgusted that even though it was an act, he didn’t want to hear another word from her.
Probably!
His acting skills were just too poor!
Even though it was an act, he couldn’t act polite to her!
Song Shuyan, heartbroken, stood up, restraining her emotions, and took one last look at Lin Qi protected in Huo Tingdong’s arms, unwilling yet composed, she left.
Lin Qi pretended to cry, hearing the footsteps leaving the private room, she poked her little head out from Huo Tingdong’s embrace, saw Song Shuyan exiting the café, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Hahaha! Husband, your reaction was too funny!”
Huo Tingdong was somewhat angry, not because she deliberately teased him, but because she went to meet Song Shuyan without his permission.
What if something happened?
Huo Tingdong asked: “Why did you meet with her?”
Lin Qi said: “She called me! Look, I’ll show you the call log.”
As if afraid he wouldn’t believe her, she was about to pull out her phone to show him.
Huo Tingdong held her hand: “You should know, she’s up to no good! What if she…”
Lin Qi said: “That’s why I had Mo Ke come with me. I had him wait right at the door, ready to rush in and protect me at any moment.”
Huo Tingdong said: “…Well, you’ve thought it through thoroughly!”
Lin Qi said: “I wanted to see Song Shuyan act!”
Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrows: “So, who’s the one actually acting?”
Lin Qi said resentfully, “Husband, are you mad at me?”
She tugged at his tie with her small hand, showing a pitiful expression.
Huo Tingdong couldn’t bear to actually be angry at her, merely saying, “Don’t do it next time, I’ll worry. Even if you really want to meet her, you have to let me come with you.”
Lin Qi said, “Got it.”
Only then did Huo Tingdong sigh, “With your acting skills this good, should I invest in a movie for you?”
He was just saying it casually.
But Lin Qi suddenly responded seriously, “Sure, I like Chi Junxi! You invest in a movie, promote me as the female lead, and then, I want to personally select Chi Junxi as the male lead!”
Upon hearing this name, the mask on Huo Tingdong’s face almost cracked.
Chi Junxi is currently a famous internet idol, who broke out of the circle with his handsome ancient attire, becoming the popular ancient drama heartthrob of the moment.
Not to mention other social media platforms, he alone has 50 million followers on Weibo; the ancient dramas he has acted in have been incredibly popular across East Asia and Southeast Asia, an instant sensation!
Huo Tingdong asked, “You like Chi Junxi?”
Lin Qi didn’t expect that he would know Chi Junxi: “Have you watched Chi Junxi’s dramas too?”
Huo Tingdong did not look like someone who would watch boring idol dramas.
Huo Tingdong said, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Lin Qi nodded, “I do like him! So, invest in my movie, I’ll play the female lead, let him be the male lead, and then, I want to shoot one-on-one kiss scenes, bed scenes with him…”
Before she could finish, Huo Tingdong glared at her: “You dare?!”
Lin Qi was nearly amused to death by him: “Husband, are you jealous?”
At these words, Huo Tingdong immediately turned his face away unnaturally, his expression a bit stiff!
Lin Qi immediately held his face and soothed him, “Alright, don’t be angry! But… it’s rare to see you jealous! Husband, you look too cute when you’re jealous.”
Huo Tingdong asked, “How much do you like him?”
He seemed eagerly wanting to confirm something.
Lin Qi said, “Quite a bit.”
Huo Tingdong asked, “So, how much?”
Lin Qi said, “Oh….” She didn’t want to tease him anymore, “No matter how much I like him, it’s not as much as I like you! My favorite is still my husband, not even ten Chi Junxis could replace you.”
Hearing this, Huo Tingdong’s face slowly relaxed, not so tense anymore: “Really?”
“Yeah, really!” Lin Qi nodded seriously, continuously observing the reactions on his face.
She didn’t expect Huo Tingdong to be so easily coaxed; she managed it with just a few words!
Huo Tingdong asked, “Is Chi Junxi better looking than me?”
Lin Qi seriously shook her head: “No!”
She was serious about this.
No matter how handsome Chi Junxi was, he was not half as handsome as her husband!
In Huo Tingdong’s case, placing his face in the entertainment industry would overshadow a crowd of male celebrities, not to mention, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
She hugged him, acting spoiled for a while, unwilling to let go.
Huo Tingdong said, “Alright, enough fooling around, it’s time to go back.”
Lin Qi: “Okay.”
Huo Tingdong kissed her, and the two of them stood up, walking towards the door.
