Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Ding Heng withdrew his hand: "Who told you to act like a child? You look alike, and you even have the same temper."

Baima, feeling hurt, suddenly poked her head out from under the covers and raised her voice.

"Who's acting like a child! I'm an adult, okay!"

Ding Heng chuckled lightly and didn't respond.

Baima shrank back again: "Brother...do you really consider me your sister?"

The room fell silent. Baima could hear her own heartbeat, faster and faster.

Ding Heng countered, "Do you want me to treat you like a younger sister?"

"I……"

Baima was speechless.

Finally, she simply closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became even, and she began to snore softly.

Ding Heng didn't care whether Bai Ma was really asleep or pretending to be asleep. He reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, then got up and left the room.

Black Bean squatted at the bedroom door and looked up at him again, meowing twice.

To prevent the black bean from disturbing the white cat, Ding Heng bent down, scooped it up, put it in the cage, and poured cat food on it.

"Just make do for one night."

Ding Heng closed the cage door and turned to leave the apartment.

When they returned to the hotel, Zhao Yanxi and Wen Jing were already asleep.

Lin Man, dressed in a light gray spaghetti strap nightgown, sat cross-legged on the sofa, sipping red wine.

Hua Qing sat next to her, wearing the same nightgown and holding a cup of hot tea.

Hearing footsteps, the two turned around at the same time.

"came back?"

Lin Man put down her wine glass and moved to the side.

Ding Heng walked over, sat down between the two, and pulled them into his arms on either side.

"What are you talking about?"

Ding Heng gently stroked their fair and rounded shoulders with his palms.

Lin Man said softly, "We're talking about Sister Qing's account."

"Haven't they already surpassed one million followers?"

"correct."

Lin Man looked up and said, "I'm thinking of just handing it all over to the operations team from now on. Sister Qing can just occasionally help out with some videos; I don't need to worry about it. She can take the lion's share of the profits, and the rest can be split among the operations team. We can also give her Hanfu a little free advertising."

Ding Heng turned to look at Hua Qing: "What do you mean, senior?"

Hua Qing replied indifferently, "Whatever."

The account was originally Ding Heng's "task". Although she now understands that Ding Heng intends to help her expand her popularity, she really finds it hard to take it seriously.

Handing it over to Lin Man and the operations team might be the best option.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Man teased, "Sister Qing, you're not still angry that we followed us here and disturbed your time with the boss, are you?"

"No way..."

Hua Qing immediately retorted, "I'm too lonely in the capital. It's nice for you to come and keep me company once in a while."

"Oh...occasionally."

Lin Man deliberately dragged out her words: "What I mean is, we can't come every time."

"Lin Man!"

Hua Qing was ashamed and indignant, and reached out to pinch her.

Lin Man snuggled into Ding Heng's arms, but Hua Qing pressed her body against her relentlessly.

Ding Heng was sandwiched between them, quietly enjoying the warmth and softness of the two bodies.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

Finally, Ding Heng used his arm to separate the two.

Hua Qing sat back down angrily, her ears turning red.

Lin Man snuggled back into Ding Heng's arms, her voice sweet and coquettish: "Boss, Sister Qing is bullying me~"

"You asked for it."

Ding Heng then comforted Hua Qing: "Don't be angry, do you want me to help you deal with her?"

Lin Man immediately began to squirm restlessly in Ding Heng's arms: "Boss is biased!"

"Never serious..."

Hua Qing blushed and muttered something before getting up and quickly running back to her bedroom.

After watching Hua Qing leave, Lin Man picked up the red wine again and poured half a glass for herself and Ding Heng.

"Boss, are you going to punish them again?"

Ding Heng took the wine glass, sighed and smiled, and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Lin Man immediately dropped her ambiguous attitude and changed her tone to serious.

She asked, "Boss, Baima... what are you planning to do about it?"

Ding Heng took a sip of his wine: "What suggestions do you have?"

Lin Man looked slightly surprised upon hearing this.

In the past, Ding Heng never allowed her to say anything about his relationships with other women. Every time she accidentally said something wrong, she would be severely punished.

"In this kind of situation... how could anyone dare to give the boss advice so casually? What if they say the wrong thing and get punished later?"

Ding Heng raised his hand and slapped Lin Man's thigh hard.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound.

"Getting more and more cunning."

Lin Man cried out "Ouch!" and rubbed the reddened area.

"However... there is one thing that people can confirm."

"what?"

"When the boss first established the investment company, it was called Hengbai Capital!"

Lin Man met Ding Heng's gaze: "That means the boss was already prepared back then to take care of Bai Ma for the rest of his life."

Ding Heng picked up his wine glass and took a sip, but didn't reply.

Lin Man continued, "So, since the boss is determined, don't get too hung up on certain things and relationships. Let things take their natural course."

"Snapped."

Another slap landed on the same spot, but with more force than before.

Lin Man winced in pain, letting out a short whimper, but then leaned forward again, pressing her whole body into Ding Heng's arms.

"Boss, did they say something wrong?"

"No wonder people in ancient times liked fox spirits."

Ding Heng gently massaged her thigh with his palm as a way of comforting her: "That's really thoughtful."

Lin Man tilted her head back, a smug look spreading across her face.

"Boss...should we reward them?"

What reward do you want?

"Um……"

Lin Man pretended to be deep in thought.

She shifted half an inch, straddling Ding Heng's lap face to face, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing her forehead against his.

"Boss, could you reward me... by using a different form of address tonight?"

"What's your name?"

Lin Man leaned close to Ding Heng's ear.

Her breath was warm, and her voice was soft and alluring.

"Brother~"

Chapter 247: My Sister is the Best! (No time to split into two chapters today, so this is a combined chapter)

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the group first went to the Summer Palace, and then drove to the Badaling Great Wall.

By the time they returned to Hua Qing's house, it was already past noon.

The girls were sprawled on the sofa, none of them wanting to move.

Only Baima leaned against the window, gazing beyond the buildings at the distant horizon, but her mind was preoccupied with other things.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Ding Heng came out of the master bedroom, picked up his coat, and winked at Hua Qing.

Hua Qing understood and stood up to follow him toward the door.

Baima immediately jumped down from the windowsill and ran over: "Brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to take care of some business."

Ding Heng changed his shoes without even looking up.

Baima blinked: "What's wrong? Can I...?"

Before she could finish speaking, a hand reached out from behind and gently placed on her shoulder.
