Some ill - intentioned people had secretly started to wonder if there was a quid - pro - quo relationship between the two.
Qin Qiao'er was taken aback for a moment. Then she stood up and looked at him innocently, saying nothing.
Looking at Zhao Youting's expression, was he angry? Could it be that he was still mad at her?
The director wasn't quite sure about the relationship between the two, but seeing Zhao Youting like this, he supposed that Zhao must know Qin Qiao'er.
So he immediately stepped forward and said, "Qin Qiao'er, why don't you go out with President Zhao for a while. It seems he has something to talk to you about."
Since the director had spoken, how could Qin Qiao'er not obey? Moreover, she also had something to say to Zhao Youting.
She immediately nodded respectfully at the director. "Okay."
Then she stepped towards Zhao Youting. Seeing her approaching, Zhao Youting turned around and walked outside. Qin Qiao'er watched his back and followed him step by step.
When they got outside, a bodyguard held an umbrella for Zhao Youting. As soon as Qin Qiao'er came out, Zhao Youting took the umbrella from the bodyguard and held it over Qin Qiao'er's head.
He said softly, "Let's go over there."
His eyes pointed to a quiet grove beside them. There was a large stretch of mountain forest there. The environment was beautiful and there were few people around. It was a perfect place to talk.
Qin Qiao'er took a few more glances at him and nodded. "Sure, let's go."
She knew this wasn't a good place to chat. Moreover, she hadn't seen Zhao Youting for a long time. She missed him so much that at this moment, she couldn't wait to jump up and hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek.
Suppressing such feelings, she walked beside Zhao Youting rather nervously. His warm breath wafted towards her.
Even in the hot summer, he was wearing a black, tailor - made suit. There was not a trace of body odor on him. Instead, there was a faint smell of cologne, with a hint of the cold scent of pine and cypress in winter.
This fragrance was not strong but very faint. One could only smell it when getting very close.
Qin Qiao'er couldn't help getting a bit closer to him. If someone were looking from behind, it would seem as if a tall man was holding a petite woman in a pink ancient - style costume. The picture looked rather strange but also harmonious.
Seeing her obvious move of getting closer, Zhao Youting felt much better instantly.
His eyes were no longer as intimidating as before. There was a touch of tenderness in them. No one knew that when he came today, he had met Tu Qinqin. Tu Qinqin had told him that Qin Qiao'er was very close to an actor. At first, he didn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, when he came, he saw Qin Qiao'er very close to a handsome man. If he hadn't stepped in, would the two have kissed each other in public?
Just thinking about this scene made him unbearable.
The reason why Tu Qinqin told Zhao Youting this was, in fact, to give Qin Qiao'er a warning and to create a sense of crisis for Zhao Youting to see if he would be jealous.
After all, a little jealousy between lovers was just the spice of love. She was completely doing this for the good of the two of them.
However, what kind of treatment Qin Qiao'er would receive was beyond her control. Anyway, Tu Qinqin thought she was doing them a favor.
The two came to the dense forest. The golden sunlight above their heads was immediately blocked by the thick foliage. Occasionally, a few strands of green sunlight filtered through the gaps and shone on them.
Although there were a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, the environment was really nice. Moreover, Zhao Youting was naturally immune to mosquitoes. As long as she stayed beside him, she wouldn't be bitten.
The two just stood there without saying a word. Their eyes were fixed on each other, as if they were trying to guess what the other was thinking.
Qin Qiao'er was the first to break the silence. She looked around and found that there was no one around. Even if someone were looking from the outside, they couldn't see clearly what the two were doing.
"You're finally here," she said coquettishly. Then she stretched out her hands and hugged Zhao Youting's waist.
His broad chest immediately embraced her. Qin Qiao'er leaned her cheek against his chest and rubbed it gently.
Zhao Youting couldn't resist her coquettish look. The last bit of his anger vanished instantly. He quickly reached out his hand and gently stroked her head.
"You, how's it going? Is filming going smoothly?"
His voice was extremely magnetic. Just listening to it once could make one feel refreshed.
"Yeah, it's pretty good. Filming is really interesting. And I like this script very much. Thank you."
She looked up coquettishly, showing a big smile. Her eyes were filled with joy.
Her happiness was his happiness. Seeing her like this, Zhao Youting couldn't help smiling. He was already very handsome. When he smiled, it was as if all the summer flowers were in full bloom.
She was immediately captivated by his handsome smile and looked a bit dazed. This look of hers instantly reminded Zhao Youting of the way Qin Qiao'er had looked at that man just now.
Instantly, his face turned as dark as thunder. The smile disappeared. Qin Qiao'er was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted. She withdrew her hands.
She looked at him helplessly. "What's wrong with you? You keep smiling one moment and getting angry the next. You're as moody as a woman. Do you think you're a woman?"
Only women were so changeable. She never thought that recently, Zhao Youting was always prone to getting angry, and for no apparent reason.
In fact, only a carefree woman like Qin Qiao'er would think this way. Although Zhao Youting was rather domineering and couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, he was still trying his best to control his temper.
However, he couldn't vent his anger on this woman in front of him. All he could give her was tenderness and gentleness.
He let out a bitter laugh. "Qin Qiao'er, I'm asking you. Who was that man you were looking at just now?"
"You mean Xia Hankong?" she asked in confusion. Then she said indifferently, "Him? He's Xia Hankong. Don't you know? Didn't you give me this script? Don't you even know who's in the filming?"
"How would I know? I just wanted to give you the best script. I don't care about the others at all."
But now he couldn't help but want to find out about this man's background.
