Tangtang wants me to go to a hotel?
What does she mean?
Could it be…
Are celebrities this bold nowadays?
Ye Qiu was torn.
Should he go or not?
It was a tough call!
Going might risk his virtue, but not going didn’t seem like a normal man’s response.
After all, a private hotel meeting with a celebrity was thrilling.
“I’ll go. I’m not after her body, just want to have a simple chat.”
Ye Qiu reassured himself.
“Little Ye, when will Xiongying wake up?” Li Chunfeng asked.
“About half an hour,” Ye Qiu said. “Old Li, please get a few doctors to give Zhu Xiongying a full check-up later. I have something to do and need to leave.”
Li Chunfeng nodded, “Alright.”
Feng Yulian stepped in front of Ye Qiu, saying, “Doctor Ye, you’ve cured Xiongying. We don’t know how to thank you. How about we treat you to a meal?”
“Thank you for your kindness, Madam Feng, but there’s really no need.”
Ye Qiu’s mind was on meeting Tangtang, not on food.
A gorgeous celebrity in a hotel versus a bowl of rice in a restaurant—what’s more appealing?
Feng Yulian persisted, “But…”
“General Zhu, Madam Feng, I have to go. Farewell.” Ye Qiu hurried out of the ward before she could finish.
As he left the hospital, he received a hotel location from Tangtang.
“Dream Hotel? Sounds like a love hotel.”
Ye Qiu’s heart raced as he drove quickly to the hotel.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived.
From a distance, he saw Tangtang outside, wearing a white wool coat, holding a Chanel bag, looking like a pure white lotus, utterly captivating.
“She’s personally welcoming me? How sweet.”
Ye Qiu stopped the car, about to turn it off, when Tangtang opened the door and slid into the passenger seat.
“You’re finally here. I’m freezing,” Tangtang said, her cheeks flushed and adorable.
“Why didn’t you wait in the room?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Room?” Tangtang blinked. “What room?”
Ye Qiu said, “Didn’t you say you were waiting at the hotel?”
Tangtang realised his misunderstanding and said, “You got it wrong. When I’m in the capital, I stay at home, not hotels.”
Then why say you’re waiting at a hotel?
Was she teasing him?
Ye Qiu felt a twinge of disappointment.
He’d rushed over, only to find this.
Tangtang added, “I was worried you wouldn’t find me, so I sent the hotel’s location.”
So, he’d read too much into it.
Ye Qiu grinned, “You said you were waiting at the hotel, so I thought you wanted to book a room with me. I sped here, and now I’m disappointed.”
Tangtang’s face reddened further, and she whispered, “Is that really what you thought?”
Ye Qiu nodded, “Really!”
Tangtang said, “Should I book a room then?”
“For what?” Ye Qiu asked.
Blushing, Tangtang looked at him, her voice soft as a mosquito’s, “To eat you~”
What?
Such bold words!
“Of course, you can eat me too,” Tangtang said, removing her sunglasses. Her beautiful eyes glinted like a hungry wolf spotting a lamb.
Ye Qiu felt a chill, “No way, I was joking, and you’re serious?”
“Are you daring enough to go?” Tangtang challenged.
Ye Qiu hesitated, “Well…”
“Ye Qiu, I like you,” Tangtang suddenly said.
A confession?
Ye Qiu asked, “Why do you like me?”
Tangtang blurted, “Because you’re handsome.”
Superficial!
Ye Qiu said, “If I were ugly, would you still like me?”
Tangtang giggled, “That depends on how you read ‘long.’”
What?
It took Ye Qiu a few seconds to get it, and he blushed.
“Oh, you’re blushing! Haha…” Tangtang laughed, “Just kidding. Stop wasting time. Let’s go watch a movie.”
Ye Qiu realised why she’d called him, saying, “So you asked me out to watch a movie?”
“What else did you think?”
“I thought it was for a movie too.”
Despite her sweet, innocent look, Tangtang’s teasing was wild, and Ye Qiu could hardly keep up.
“Turn left ahead. There’s a private cinema my friend owns. I booked it.”
Following her directions, Ye Qiu drove to the destination, and Tangtang led him to a private cinema.
It was Ye Qiu’s first time at one, and the setup was impressive.
A small room, decorated in soft pink, had a huge screen, two reclining leather sofas, and a table with snacks and a fruit platter.
The lighting was dim.
Not a hotel, but better than one.
Why did she bring me here? Is she plotting something?
As Ye Qiu thought this, Tangtang said, “You know I’m a celebrity. Going to a regular cinema risks being recognised, so I come to private ones when I want to watch a movie.”
Ye Qiu nodded, “It’s quiet, no disturbances. Nice.”
They sat down.
The movie started, an old Hong Kong romance—
“Days of Being Wild”!
Ye Qiu wasn’t into romance films and found it dull, but Tangtang was engrossed, moved to tears, her eyes streaming as the plot unfolded.
Ye Qiu kept wiping her tears.
By the end, Tangtang’s tears were like a dam bursting.
“Ye Qiu, are you going back to Jiangzhou soon?” she asked through sobs.
“Yeah, in a couple of days,” Ye Qiu said.
Tangtang threw herself into his arms, her chest pressed against his, whispering in his ear, “I don’t want you to go.”
“This…”
Ye Qiu didn’t know what to say. Her unique, innocent fragrance stirred his blood.
A hot-blooded man, how could he resist?
Suddenly, Tangtang blew softly in his ear, saying, “Darling, want to do something?”
Do what?
Her?
Ye Qiu wanted to slap himself and curse, Ye Qiu, you’re so shameless!
Then, Tangtang wrapped her arms around his neck, her lips inching toward his face…
