Tangtang’s arms were hooked around Ye Qiu’s neck, her eyes dreamy, her fragrant lips inching closer to his face.
Twenty centimetres.
Ten centimetres.
Five centimetres…
Ye Qiu could even smell the scent of her lip gloss.
“Wait!” he suddenly asked, “There aren’t any cameras here, are there?”
He was a bit worried, if there were cameras recording him and Tangtang, it wouldn’t matter for him, but as a celebrity, Tangtang would face serious trouble if it leaked.
“Silly, this is a private cinema, owned by my friend, they don’t install those things,” Tangtang said, her lips moving closer.
It seemed a kiss was imminent.
But suddenly, Tangtang’s lips brushed past Ye Qiu’s mouth, landing on his cheek.
Then, a “click” sounded in his ear.
Ye Qiu looked up, seeing Tangtang holding her phone, taking a photo.
“What’s there to photograph?” Ye Qiu asked.
“I want to capture our sweet moments together,” Tangtang said, snapping a few more pictures.
Ye Qiu thought, once she’s done with photos, things would get serious, right?
But after taking the photos, Tangtang put her phone in her bag and let go of him.
What’s going on?
Then, Tangtang stepped out of his embrace, saying, “Did you mess up my hair?”
“It’s fine, isn’t it?” Ye Qiu said, reaching to fix her hair, but Tangtang looked at him seriously.
“Ye Qiu, I have a secret to tell you,” she said, “You didn’t just mess up my hair, you messed up my heart.”
This girl…
She’s too good at flirting, isn’t she?
Tangtang then put on a shy act, saying in a coy voice, “Ye Qiu, when are you going to mess up my bed?”
At that, the fire Ye Qiu had just suppressed flared up again.
Fine, if you’re going to tease me like this, I’d be letting you down if I didn’t do something.
Ye Qiu grabbed Tangtang’s slender waist, lowered his head quickly, and aimed his lips at hers.
Tangtang resisted lightly, pretending to panic, squealing, “Ah, Ye Qiu, what are you doing, don’t… do…”
Did she mean do or don’t?
Ye Qiu didn’t care, kissing her forcefully.
Soon, they were locked in a passionate kiss.
In the dim setting, the temperature kept rising.
While kissing Tangtang, Ye Qiu’s hands didn’t stop, deftly slipping off her wool coat.
Underneath, Tangtang wore a thin sweater, pressing herself against Ye Qiu, deliberately rubbing against him, driving him to the edge.
Just as they were out of breath and Ye Qiu was ready to move forward, Tangtang suddenly bit his shoulder, making him wince in pain.
Then, she pushed him away, glaring, muttering, “Don’t get carried away.”
Ye Qiu was annoyed.
Weren’t you the one teasing me?
Sensing his frustration, Tangtang softened, “It’s not a good time today.”
If it’s not a good time, why keep teasing me?
Ye Qiu grew more exasperated.
Tangtang feigned anger, “Ye Qiu, where were your hands just now?”
Her clothes were all wrinkled in front.
Ye Qiu coughed, “Don’t blame me, my hands had to go somewhere, right?”
“You big jerk,” Tangtang huffed, glaring at him with beautiful eyes, pouting, “Next time, be gentler.”
Damn, still teasing me?
“The movie’s over, let’s go!”
Tangtang put on her clothes, hat, and sunglasses, then quickly left the room.
Ye Qiu followed.
Leaving the cinema.
Ye Qiu said, “Tangtang, let me treat you to dinner!”
“Not today, I’ve got things to do, I’m heading home,” Tangtang declined.
“Shall I take you back?”
“No need, I have a ride,” Tangtang waved, and a Hongqi car stopped in front of her.
“See you!”
Tangtang got in and sped off.
Ye Qiu stood there, puzzled.
“What’s her deal?”
“Teasing me non-stop, then leaving in a hurry, it doesn’t add up!”
“What’s she playing at?”
Ye Qiu stood pondering for two minutes, then it hit him.
“Damn, this girl’s playing hard to get.”
…
In the back seat of the Hongqi car, Tangtang’s lips curved into a smug smile.
“Ye Qiu, you think I’m like those ordinary women, giving everything to a man I like? Dream on.”
“I’m not letting you win that easily.”
“I’ll play with you slowly, let you feel the torment of wanting but not getting.”
Then, her smugness faded slightly.
“Hmph, Grandfather pushed you to marry me, and you kept dodging, all because you can’t let go of Lin Jingzhi and the others, right?”
“Fine, I’ll add fuel to the fire.”
“When you return to Jiangzhou, let’s see how they deal with you.”
A sly grin spread across Tangtang’s face as she took out her phone, opened Weibo, and posted a photo of her and Ye Qiu.
The photo, taken earlier in the cinema, was perfectly angled, clearly showing Tangtang kissing a man.
But Ye Qiu’s face was only half-visible, unrecognisable to anyone not closely familiar with him.
After choosing the photo, Tangtang added a caption.
“How many live a life of contentment, today I ask you for forever!”
Her post exploded across the entertainment industry like an atomic bomb.
Within minutes, it topped the trending charts, sparking heated discussions among millions of netizens.
Some offered blessings.
“Congrats to the goddess for finding true love, wishing her eternal happiness!”
“The goddess is in love, sob… I’m a bit jealous of that guy, but still, blessings!”
“Goddess, stay happy forever~”
Others were sarcastic.
“Entertainment industry romances, just watch for fun.”
“Trust me, they’ll break up within a month.”
“This is the so-called goddess, heh…”
Some even cursed.
“Damn, she didn’t pick me, blind!”
“Exactly, there are tons of great guys out there, like the fans of Huyanchuanyu’s books, all handsome!”
…
Jiangzhou.
Bai Bing, done with work, returned to her office, picked up her phone, and saw the trending news push.
“Tangtang’s in love?”
Curious, Bai Bing opened Weibo and saw the photo Tangtang posted.
She instantly recognised Ye Qiu.
“How many live a life of contentment, today I ask you for forever! Hmph, a big star stealing my man, shameless.”
Fuming, Bai Bing called Lin Jingzhi.
As soon as the call connected.
Bai Bing snapped, “Lin Jingzhi, your man’s cheating on you.”
