Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 236 The Dark Side Under the Lamp: The Alluring Hotball

At 11 p.m., online discussions about the Bazaar Charity Gala remained enthusiastic.

The Four Seasons Hotel’s top-floor suite had only a few ambient lights on, the light was soft, and the air still carried the refreshing scent of shower gel.

Jiang Qing had just finished showering, with a white bath towel loosely tied around her waist.

He casually dried his wet short hair with a towel. The steam from the water made the aloofness he had shown at the banquet lessen, revealing a touch of relaxed homeliness.

The phone screen on the coffee table suddenly lit up, accompanied by a rapid video ringtone. The words "Xiao Ye" appeared on the screen, along with a funny close-up photo of her.

Jiang Qing's lips curved into a smile unconsciously as she picked up her phone and answered the call.

"Ono."

He called out with a smile.

The screen was instantly filled with a puffed-up little face.

Zhou Ye had obviously just finished work and returned to the hotel. He was wearing a loose, milky white silk nightgown with thin straps. His long, black hair was spread messily on the pillow. His face was clean, but his eyes were wide open, like a little animal with its fur standing on end.

"Jiang! Qing!"

She practically screamed his name through gritted teeth; her voice, coming through the receiver, carried a slight static noise, making it sound even more menacing.

"you!"

"Give!"

"I!"

"untie!"

"release!"

"clear!"

"Chu!"

"What's going on between you and Zhang Ruonan? Holding hands on the red carpet! And even helping her out of an awkward situation inside! The trending topics are exploding! My private messages are flooded with Jiang Zhou CP fans and other fans!"

She practically squeezed out each word, getting angrier and angrier as she spoke, her cheeks puffed out like two small steamed buns, waving her rather harmless little fists at the other end of the screen.

"Do you think I'm too far away, still filming in Hengdian? Hmm? You seem to be having a great time, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers!"

Jiang Qing was amused by her flustered little puppy-like appearance and chuckled softly.

Absolutely adorable!

He relaxed and leaned back into the large sofa, looking quite leisurely.

"I'm innocent, Teacher Zhou."

He drew out his words, his tone very familiar to Zhou Ye, tinged with a mix of helplessness and indulgence.

"In all honesty, I just wanted to help because I saw injustice. You didn't see it, but she was being led by staff towards the sponsor's advertising truck. She was almost crying. I was standing next to her and couldn't bear to watch. We know each other, so I just helped out."

He adjusted his posture, drying his hair as he explained to the girl everything that had happened on the red carpet that day, including the small detail of having Zhang Ruonan sign his name below the autograph board.

There was no embellishment or deliberate downplaying; the tone was as plain as if he were talking about a minor work-related matter.

"As for the indoor auction."

Jiang Qing shrugged, water droplets from his hair dripping down his face.

"Xiao Ming and the others raised the price because of me, it has little to do with her. You know those kinds of occasions, it's all about social niceties."

Listening to his clear and logical explanation, and looking at his familiar features, the nameless anger in Zhou Ye's heart deflated like a punctured balloon.

In truth, she understood that given Jiang Qing's status and position, it was inevitable that she would attract attention and be sought after in that kind of setting.

But I can't help feeling a little jealous, especially when I see photos of him standing with other beautiful female celebrities.

She knew perfectly well what was going on about being pulled into taking a photo with the advertising vehicle, and Jiang Qing's help was simply a sign of his good character.

Of course, it would be best if you were just kind-hearted!
"Humph~"

She pouted, her voice softening, carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"That won't do! Can you be a little more low-key in the future? No more showing off like that! You're going to a charity gala, not a fashion show or a beauty pageant! If I see you getting too close to any female celebrity again, I... I'll sell your Patek Philippe! Do you hear me!"

She threatened him fiercely, but her round eyes were filled with longing for him after so long, and she looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Jiang Qing's heart felt as if it were being soaked in warm water, both warm and soft.

He also missed this girl who loved to be pampered and was very dependent on him.

Even through the screen, he could almost smell her familiar sweet fragrance, as if she were right beside him.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

His voice grew gentler, tinged with a smile.

"From now on, I'll wrap myself in a burlap sack when I go out, and I promise I won't attract any attention."

He paused, his gaze tracing her pretty little face on the screen.

"Are you tired? Did you get cold during the water scene today?"

"worn out……"

Zhou Ye dragged out his words in a coquettish tone, then rubbed against the pillow.

"It's freezing! I've been soaking for ages, and I feel like the cold is seeping into my bones. But the director said the effect was amazing, and we nailed it in one take!"

She spoke with a hint of pride, then, as if remembering something, her eyes turned accusatory.

"It's all your fault! If you had video-called me earlier, maybe I wouldn't be so cold!"

Jiang Qing paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled at the girl's smiling eyes.

The two were lost in their longing conversation, and a warm atmosphere flowed between the two ends of the video call.

Suddenly, the doorbell for the suite rang.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Jiang Qing's brows twitched almost imperceptibly, and she quickly glanced at the entrance, thinking that she had come at a really bad time.

He remained calm as he looked at Zhou Ye on the screen.

"Wait a moment, the things Chen Duo brought me have arrived."

His tone was calm, revealing no sign of anything amiss.

"Delivering things so late?"

Zhou Ye asked curiously.

"Yes, there are some documents that I need to sign."

Jiang Qing responded casually, as naturally as if he were drinking water.

He stood up, casually draped the towel he used to dry his hair over the armrest of the sofa, and walked towards the entrance wrapped in the towel.

He nimbly opened the door and looked up.

Outside the door, a tall figure, bundled up tightly, resembled a nimble fish, and with a gust of fragrant but not overpowering rose scent, darted in with a "whoosh."

The movement was so fast that it stirred up a gentle breeze.

She came in and immediately closed the door behind her, leaning against it as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. She then raised her hand to take off her mask and sunglasses.

Jiang Qing immediately put a finger to her lips to make a shushing gesture, while gesturing with her eyes to her still-lit phone screen and Zhou Ye's face on it.

Dilraba's movements froze instantly.

Behind his sunglasses, Zhou Ye looked at his phone screen, hugging a pillow, his face showing a slight dissatisfaction at being interrupted.

A knowing glint flashed in Dilraba's eyes, and her red lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but she remained silent, simply standing quietly in the shadows of the entryway, like a statue wrapped in a coat. Jiang Qing, holding her phone, walked back with an air of nonchalance, sat down on the sofa again, and pointed the camera at herself.

"We got the stuff. Where were we? Oh, about your scene where you were soaking in cold water..."

The tone was relaxed and natural.

While continuing his conversation with Zhou Ye, he kept an eye on the entrance area out of the corner of his eye.

Reba leaned against the wall by the door, watching Jiang Qing's gentle and patient demeanor as he faced his phone screen. Comparing this to his composed and aloof attitude towards her and other female celebrities at the banquet, the confirmed resentment and subtle bitterness welled up in her heart again.

Looking at Jiang Qing's figure, which appeared exceptionally tall and straight under the light, wrapped only in a bath towel, a bold and slightly mischievous thought quietly arose in her mind.

A sly yet charming smile suddenly appeared on the face of this top female celebrity. Then, in front of Jiang Qing, she deftly unbuttoned the large black coat she was wearing.

With a soft thud, the heavy black coat slid down her smooth shoulders onto the carpet.

Jiang Qing's eyes narrowed sharply at the corner of his eye.

Under the living room lights, she was still wearing that stunning mermaid dress from the banquet!
The mint green Georges Hobeika haute couture dress clung to her perfect S-curve like a second skin.

The deep V-neckline boldly plunged above the waistline, and under the bright ceiling light of the suite, her snow-white, delicate skin and alluring waist dimples were dazzlingly white, complementing the shimmering pearls on the dress and exuding a fatal allure.

She deliberately didn't wear the matching sheer shawl, and the rich scent of roses instantly filled the entryway and wafted forcefully into the living room.

Barefoot, like a lazy yet proud cat stepping on a soft carpet, Reba deliberately moved quietly and silently out of the shadows of the entryway.

Instead of immediately walking to the sofa, she first went to the center of the living room and turned around very slowly in an area that Jiang Qing could easily see out of the corner of her eye.

This movement perfectly revealed the breathtaking curves of her body from the side, a charm that young girls never possess!
The dress perfectly accentuated her full bust, her slender waist looked like it could be encircled by one hand, and the dress's tight fit around her hips created a full and alluring curve, forming a breathtaking S-shape with her long, straight calves.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing a charming smile with exotic flair, a hint of smugness and provocation, as she looked towards Jiang Qing. Her red lips were full, her eyes deep and captivating!

Jiang Qing's fingers tightened almost imperceptibly as she gripped her phone, her peripheral vision clearly capturing this visually stunning spectacle.

This woman definitely did it on purpose!
He forced himself to keep his eyes fixed on the phone screen and tried to keep his voice steady.

"Yes, ginger tea should be drunk while it's hot for the best warming effect... I know you don't like it spicy, so I'll add some brown sugar..."

His voice still sounded gentle, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a subtle tension.

Dilraba noticed this subtle change in him.

Her smile grew even brighter as she strode rhythmically toward the side of the sofa, her hips swaying gracefully.

She didn't sit down, but walked straight to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

Outside the window is the dazzling night view of Shenzhen, with thousands of lights resembling scattered stars.

Reba stood with her back to the window and also to Jiang Qing.

The huge glass window, like a natural mirror, clearly reflected her appearance at that moment.

She turned slightly to the side, meeting Jiang Qing's gaze in the mirror, then raised her hand and ran her fingertips through her thick, long black hair.

Starting from the back of her neck, she very slowly and seductively tossed her long hair to one shoulder.

This gesture perfectly showcased her swan-like neck, smooth and graceful back lines, and the amazing waist-to-hip ratio accentuated by the dress in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows!
She slightly twisted her waist, as if admiring her reflection in the glass, or silently showing off her body, which seemed to be favored by God.

She turned her head to face Jiang Qing's reflection in the mirror, and once again flashed a captivating smile, her eyes seemingly hooked.

The scent of roses, mixed with her own aggressively sexy aura, almost filled the entire living room.

That vixen!

Jiang Qing felt a little thirsty.

He had to concentrate on dealing with the girl on the other side of the screen, resist the overwhelming temptation of the alluring scene before him, and try his best to maintain his composure so as not to give himself away. It was an unprecedented challenge.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

"Okay, sweetie, go to sleep now. Don't you have an early scene tomorrow?"

He whispered instructions to Zhou Ye on the other end of the phone, his eagerness to end the call becoming slightly more apparent.

Zhou Ye, on the other side of the screen, seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of the conversation and did not notice the subtle abnormality in Jiang Qing's tone. He just muttered to himself.

"Okay, okay, butler! You should get some rest too! No more work! Goodnight!"

After saying that, he gave the screen a loud "mua" sound.

"Good night."

Jiang Qing's voice remained gentle, but the tension almost overflowed the moment she hung up the phone.

He immediately ended the video call.

The screen went black instantly.

The world seemed to fall silent for a second.

Jiang Qing let out a heavy breath, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples vigorously.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon the tall, slender figure standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, as dazzling as a rose blooming in the night.

Dilraba had already turned around, hands on her slender waist, head tilted slightly, a bright smile on her face after a successful prank, and a sly and triumphant glint in her deep, exotic eyes.

Her mint green dress shimmered under the dazzling lights outside the window, highlighting her sexy and graceful figure.

She stood there, like a meticulously crafted work of art, possessing an aggressive beauty.

"Teacher Reba..."

Jiang Qing put down her hand that was rubbing her temples, put her hands on her hips above the edge of her bath towel, and looked at the beautiful and charming female celebrity in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming ambiguous.

"Come over here."

He leaned against the sofa and waved to her.

Dilraba smiled and walked towards him step by step on the soft carpet, each step rhythmic, her waist swaying gently, like a figure standing at the center of a catwalk.

"Looks like I'm still more important?"

Her languid tone carried a seductive sexiness.

Jiang Qing didn't move, just leaned back on the sofa and watched her approach.

His chest, beneath the towel, rose and fell slightly with his breathing, and sweat from the ordeal still lingered on his forehead, but his eyes had darkened, their meaning unreadable.

Reba stopped in front of Jiang, no more than a step away, and the rose scent emanating from her was clearly audible.

"President Jiang, what are your orders?"

Her voice was sweet and delicate, with a seductive ending.

Jiang Qing looked up at her, and all he could see was her snow-white skin and... her full, undulating features.

He didn't say anything, but just gestured for her to stop.

A hint of surprise flashed in Dilraba's eyes, which was quickly replaced by a charming smile.

She slowly lowered her body, her exotic eyes meeting his gaze intently, radiating an astonishing allure.

Only after she had completely squatted down did she look up at him, her long eyelashes clearly visible under the light.

At this moment, the two had switched positions, and Jiang Qing was now looking down at her.

Neither of them spoke, and the indoor temperature began to rise rapidly.

Dilraba suddenly brushed her tongue lightly across her red lips and winked at him.

The night began to become alluring.
