Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 279: Trapped in a cocoon
Upon seeing the adorable little buns, Hu Xiaobei's resistance instantly dropped a notch.

He reached out and gently pinched An Xiaoqian's slightly puffed-up cheek, unconsciously moving a little closer, and righteously criticized, "You still say you didn't seduce me, then what is this? You even dared to use a series of moves!"

As she spoke, she gently kneaded the little bun, as if to say that this was the evidence.

An Xiaoqian frowned slightly, glared at him irritably, and then, as if in a fit of pique, transferred all her anger to the other cheek.

Such provocation was intolerable to Hu Xiaobei, so he slid his hand down from her cheek and gently pinched her smooth and lovely chin.

"You still dare to provoke me? Your crime is compounded! Come here, open your little mouth and let me give you a kiss."

This statement only provoked An Xiaoqian's rebellious spirit. She pursed her lips, raised her chin, and turned her face away, breaking free from Hu Xiaobei's grasp.

An Xiaoqian was unaware that her actions were exactly what Hu Xiaobei wanted.

Hu Xiaobei had long realized that he and An Xiaoqian hadn't been close for a long time, and any intimacy would be like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, easily ignited.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli was not at Jiaozuo Film and Television City. If something were to happen at night, she would be all alone and would have no worries at all!
Therefore, Hu Xiaobei pulled back from the brink at the critical moment.

But he knew An Xiaoqian too well; if the two of them stopped there, she would most likely cause some trouble that night.

By then, things won't be so easy to resolve.

Now it's different. It's broad daylight, and the door is wide open. There's no way the two of them could actually do anything here.

Therefore, the most basic bottom line can still be guaranteed.

However, there's a proper way to kiss.

If the two kiss so passionately that they can't stop, they'll inevitably be unsatisfied, and there might even be a fight that night.

If the two kiss only briefly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then part ways, it will not be a happy ending, and there may be unspeakable troubles in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy An Xiaoqian's aroused expectations, keep the level of intimacy between them within a certain range, and also make her stop the momentum herself.

This requires some thought and skill.

Given Hu Xiaobei's understanding of her and his rich experience in manipulating people, he had naturally set a trap long ago, waiting for her to fall into it herself.

As the saying goes: I'm the best at handling Sisi, and I can easily defeat weaklings.

This reputation is by no means undeserved!

He had complete confidence and assurance regarding An Xiaoqian, both physically and mentally.

Hu Xiaobei deliberately curled a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, mimicking the way the chubby little boy Fang Dahong in "The New Shaolin Five Ancestors" acted when he was lending money at exorbitant interest rates, and chuckled a few times.

"Hehehe, hehehe!"

Then, taking advantage of her surprise, he quickly leaned in and planted a kiss on her cheek, deliberately leaving a little drool behind.

"Hehe, An Xiaoqian, An Xiaoqian, did you think that just because you turned your face away and I couldn't kiss you, I couldn't do anything to you? You underestimate me!"

An Xiaoqian was suddenly attacked, and she felt both happy and shy.

But soon, she noticed the saliva that had been deliberately left on her cheek, and Hu Xiaobei had kissed her so loudly on purpose.

She couldn't help but give Hu Xiaobei a reproachful look, then glanced anxiously at the door before finally relaxing.

Although she couldn't wait to make their relationship public, she still felt a little embarrassed if others saw them in this situation. Just then, Hu Xiaobei leaned in again, making a move to kiss her, and An Xiaoqian quickly covered her cheek where she had just been kissed.

Hu Xiaobei kissed the back of her hand, not discouraged. He deliberately chuckled lewdly, then deliberately stuck out his tongue and quickly moistened his lips from left to right, making a "slurp" sound, putting on a wanton look.

"Can you block this side, but can you block the other side?" he said, moving to face An Xiaoqian and slowly bringing his mouth to the other side.

Reminded, An Xiaoqian quickly stretched out her other hand and covered both cheeks with both hands at the same time.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei also stretched out his hands and pressed them down on An Xiaoqian's hands, squeezing her little mouth until it pouted.

At this moment, An Xiaoqian felt incredibly foolish, realizing she had trapped herself in her own web of deception.

Hu Xiaobei smiled smugly and leaned closer, lightly pecking at the ground seven or eight times like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Only then did he release his hands, sit back in his seat triumphantly, and casually flip through the documents, as if nothing had happened.

An Xiaoqian was kissed by him seven or eight times, but since there was no actual kissing, it was more like a playful little teasing or taunt between lovers.

Her heart felt less romantic and more competitive, as she felt that Hu Xiaobei had taken full advantage of her and that she had lost this battle miserably.

She really wanted to do what Hu Xiaobei had just done, and then walk away.

But then I thought about it again and realized something was wrong.

Hu Xiaobei wanted to kiss her and take advantage of her, so if she did this, wouldn't she be playing right into his hands?

Another case of lambs falling into the tiger's den?
No, no, we absolutely cannot do that!

But if I don't do this, how can I retaliate?

Uh… after thinking it over, she really didn’t have any good ideas, she was so annoyed!

Just then, Hu Xiaobei leaned back in his seat, beckoned to her with his finger, and patted his thigh lightly, raising an eyebrow to indicate: "Qianqian, come sit over here, I have something to ask you."

An Xiaoqian crossed her arms and took half a step back, as if to indicate that she had seen through his trick.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she spoke with a mixture of suspicion and coquettishness: "Hmph, it's broad daylight, the doors are wide open, what are you trying to do now? I won't fall for your tricks!"

Although she spoke with a tough tone, a suspicious blush crept onto the tips of her ears, and her heart was already in turmoil—what if he suddenly backed out after she sat down? How should she deal with it?
Hu Xiaobei smiled slightly, sat up straight, and spread his hands in feigned helplessness: "Heaven and earth bear witness! You said it yourself, in broad daylight with the door wide open, what else could I possibly do?"
There really is something I'd like to ask our beloved actress, Sissi.

"Sit here, I promise I won't touch you, don't you trust me?" Her words seemed to carry a hint of grievance at not being trusted.

An Xiaoqian glanced at Hu Xiaobei with a skeptical look, but then unconsciously moved closer and sat hesitantly on his lap.

He was originally as tense as a string, looking like he was about to spring up and run away at any moment.

But just a few seconds after sitting down, she gradually relaxed and subconsciously snuggled into Hu Xiaobei's arms, looking very content.

Hu Xiaobei smiled smugly, not in a hurry to embarrass her, and brought up the initial question again: "Tell me, why were you unhappy just now?"

An Xiaoqian stopped hiding her feelings and frankly admitted, "She's not an actress in your production team, but she often comes to you for acting advice. Most importantly... she's very beautiful, and I... I'm a little worried..."

Hu Xiaobei realized who she was talking about and why she was unhappy, so she said nonchalantly, "What's there to worry about? Are you worried about me or her?"

An Xiaoqian slowly propped herself up, raised her eyes slightly, looked at Hu Xiaobei, and said without hesitation, "I'm worried about you, and I'm worried about her too."
