I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 41 The Misleading Red Mark

"What do you think? With your acting skills, you expect me to look you in the eye and film you and I flirt like a young couple? But seriously, although you're heavy, you feel good to the touch, and you're much better built than those skinny guys!" Peng Ruilin said bravely. He was ready for Han Qingyue's glare or punch.

"Feel? I'd really like to know what it feels like when my fist lands on you?" Han Qingyue subconsciously glared at him, clenching her fists and making a clattering sound.

Peng Ruilin quickly dodged, "Boss Han, didn't you hear I was praising you? Are you planning to hit me?"

"Praise me? Why can't I hear that you are praising me?" Han Qingyue moved closer and asked back.

Under the pressure of Han Qingyue's gaze, Peng Ruilin gave in and begged for mercy, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's get down to business. Director Shang said we need a kiss for the next set of photos. Do you think your admirer would mind?"

Han Qingyue hadn't believed him at first, but now that he mentioned it again, she couldn't help but be skeptical. She was about to go to Director Shang Yang for confirmation when Peng Ruilin added fuel to the fire, "I heard these kissing photos are going to be the main promotional photos for this season. I wonder what your admirers will think after seeing them..."

Peng Ruilin's words did not scare Han Qingyue. She was the boss of Qingxin Hotel. How could she allow herself to be manipulated?
She smiled and deliberately angered him, saying, "Mr. Peng, I think you've forgotten one thing. I'm the owner of the Qingxin Hotel. I have the final say on what kind of photos are taken. If I don't want to take them, no one can say anything. I've read reports about you before, saying that you never chat with the actresses you work with, but it seems today that these reports are not true."

Peng Ruilin put away his smile and said in a serious tone, "I have principles. Being too close to the actresses in the same group will lead to rumors. Besides, I never chat with people who have ulterior motives towards me!"

"How do you know I have no intentions towards you? Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to hype you up and put you on the headlines?" Han Qingyue suppressed her laughter and joked.

"No way, who are you? You are President Han, a strong woman in the business world! Besides, if you really want to drag me to the headlines, I will have a chance to get away. I will reveal even bigger news." After saying that, his eyes twitched at the red mark on her neck.

"You..." Han Qingyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes, that's the clue that's enough to get me out of this. With the media's all-pervasive gossip, they'll definitely capitalize on this and portray you as someone who's willing to sell her body for fame..."

Han Qingyue was slightly stunned, and sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so sinister! However, this is not a wicked thing to disappoint the big star."

"No, no! I've just been in the entertainment industry for a few more years than you." Peng Ruilin still spoke in a teasing tone.

Han Qingyue looked at him meaningfully, "Peng Ruilin, you're not looking at me like this, are you?"

"How could that be? Mr. Han, I'm just teasing you! I know you well. You're a top student at Jingcheng University and the young head of Qingxin Hotel. To be honest, I admire you very much. You're smart, beautiful, capable, and competent. If I weren't in my current position, I would definitely compete with that stupid man Lu Siqing. If you don't mind, I'd like to be your friend."

"Silly man? You said Lu Siqing is a stupid man?" Hearing this, Han Qingyue was amused by him.

"Yes, he is so childish. He hasn't even gotten you yet, but he's already showing off his love in front of others." Peng Ruilin said without disguising anything.

"Haha, yes, you are right. He is very naive." Han Qingyue burst into laughter.

The two of them were talking about Lu Siqing one after another, but in the eyes of Zhou Chenyu who was far away, it was an ambiguous whispering and love affair.

Just at this moment, two staff members walked out together. They were chatting with their heads down and did not notice Zhou Chenyu. Their conversation went directly into his ears.

"I finally met Peng Ruilin. He's so handsome, even more handsome than he looks on TV! I really want to ask him for an autograph!"

"Yeah, but I heard Peng Ruilin is very aloof and rarely chats with the actresses he works with. But he is really nice to Ms. Han and doesn't put on airs at all. Do you think he has a crush on Ms. Han?"

"No way? He's a famous star, how dare he fall in love? But he and President Han are really a good match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"No, no, I can't accept that my idol has another woman! He should stop being with President Han!" "Haha! I heard they're still taking kissing photos tonight, so by then, won't you..."

kiss?
These two words pierced Zhou Chenyu like a sharp blade. He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with pent-up anger.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman? They also want to take a kissing photo?

Lu Siqing alone was enough to upset him, and now there was another Peng Ruilin.

It seems that allowing her to shoot a promotional video with Peng Ruilin was a huge mistake. As a shareholder, he should strongly oppose it.

After a short rest, Han Qingyue put on her makeup and walked to the makeshift swing. She stood opposite Peng Ruilin and took a deep breath.

The photographer, holding a megaphone, shouted "Get ready" in their direction.

Han Qingyue was inexplicably nervous when she heard it was about to begin. No, she had to discuss with Shang Yang and cancel the kissing scene.

Peng Ruilin did not lie to her. Shang Yang did intend to take a kissing scene, but it was just a light touch of the lips. He thought it was nothing, so he did not emphasize it.

However, Han Qingyue insisted on not filming such a shot, and he didn't want to insist, so he changed the kissing shot to a shot of the two of them looking at each other affectionately.

Han Qingyue could accept Shang Yang's idea. After all, she and Peng Ruilin were playing lovers, and some intimate actions were normal.

After discussing with Shang Yang, Han Qingyue returned to the shooting location. She looked around and was surprised to see Zhou Chenyu sitting next to the photographer, looking at her through the camera.

What surprised her even more was that Lu Siqing had come back at some point and was walking towards this side, getting closer and closer to Zhou Chenyu.

Why was Zhou Chenyu still here? Why was Lu Siqing here again? Were they all planning to monitor her?

Han Qingyue was so focused on taking pictures that she thought Zhou Chenyu had already left.

In an instant, her heart beat violently, as if this reaction was out of her control.

Peng Ruilin, who was standing opposite her, saw her face suddenly turn red and mistakenly thought she was nervous about the kissing scene. He smiled and comforted her: "What's wrong with you? Don't be nervous! We are not children anymore, what's there to be afraid of just kissing?"

Han Qingyue looked up at him, slyly and proudly saying, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Director Shang and I have already told you that the kissing scene is cancelled. Just look at each other affectionately."

Peng Ruilin seemed to have expected this and was not surprised. After all, she was the hotel owner and the client, so she had the final say on how the promotional video was shot.

But somehow, he felt a little lost.

But even though the kissing scene was cancelled, Han Qingyue was still a little nervous. She lowered her head and took deep breaths over and over again until Shang Yang shouted to start shooting. Then she slowly raised her head, her whole body tense.

Peng Ruilin slowly held her face in his hands and looked at her lovingly: "Can we start?"

Han Qingyue blinked and said "hmm" softly.
