Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 411: The Ruby Falls into His Hands
At this moment, this stumbling block had already sat in the car.
After closing the car door, the two naturally held hands.
He Ci sat in the passenger seat, feeling conflicted.
He felt like he was just a greeter, currently escorting a newlywed couple to an upper-class dinner, and the upcoming drama would probably involve this newlywed couple getting upset over jealousy and other famous emotions, pressing some domineering CEO button to raise the partition, and the two in the back seat passionately making out...
"I hope you’re just holding hands; this car doesn’t have a partition," he suddenly said.
Yu Xia stared at the back of his head with a strange look for a few seconds.
"He, you really haven’t been infected by Mei, watching too many silly romantic dramas?"
What a comparison, it was really just holding hands, but now it feels awkward.
She glanced at Xie Qingci, oh, she was the only one feeling awkward.
He Ci didn’t avert his gaze: "I’m just kindly reminding you."
Xie Qingci pretended not to hear, intimately pulling her hand to lean closer, then used one hand to pull up the down jacket sliding off her other shoulder, and conveniently hugged her.
Yu Xia leaned on his shoulder, struggled slightly, then looked up at him: "Honestly, the car has the air conditioning on, this is a bit warm."
Xie Qingci: "Driver, could you please turn down the air conditioning a bit."
He Ci: "...What, am I not human? Do I not deserve warmth?!"
This seductive man is flaunting his relationship in front of me?
Feeling like the two were getting agitated, Yu Xia quickly pulled at Xie Qingci, laughing twice.
"This is fine, it’s fine."
Xie Qingci looked down at her, then after two seconds, zipped her jacket up to her chin, covering her up completely, like a sturdy penguin.
"..." She silently struggled to extend her hand from the sleeve to grab his.
His long limbs made sitting in the seat seem cramped, his hand fell on his leg, the bones and veins on the back of his hand faintly visible, with a silver ring on his right middle finger.
Coincidentally, Yu Xia also wore jewelry on her right middle finger, a snake-shaped ruby ring, matching her anklet.
She placed her hand on his, imitating him, interlocking their fingers, the cold rings on their middle fingers touching.
Xie Qingci continued to look down at her, she blinked and looked at him too, but didn’t speak, just shook his hand lightly.
Like a spoiled child.
Xie Qingci couldn’t help but tighten his grip, lifting her chin, restrainedly kissing the corner of her lips.
He Ci in the front acted like he got chili in his eyes, simply closed his eyes pretending to nap.
The rest of the way, Xie Qingci didn’t say anything else or make any little moves, just held onto Yu Xia’s hand tightly, looking out the window, as if gauging the distance to their destination.
This rare restraint fit well with his outward demeanor.
But it was vastly different from his private self, Yu Xia became alert.
After arriving at the hotel, she went to her previous room to change out of her dress, Xie Qingci silently followed by her side, his leather shoes on the hotel carpet made no sound.
This quietness always gave a premonition of adrenaline surging, her heartbeat was already starting to accelerate.
Before pushing the door, Yu Xia glanced back at him.
Xie Qingci tilted his head to look at her, that height in the narrow hallway felt quite oppressive.
Yu Xia turned away and smiled at He Ci and Mei waiting at the door, saying: "Why don’t you go wait in the lounge?"
He Ci: "..."
He glanced at Xie Qingci, woodenly reminding them: "You two better not go overboard."
Then continued walking forward with Mei.
Yu Xia swiped the card and opened the door, pulling Xie Qingci into the room.
As soon as the door closed, she threw her arms around his shoulders, tiptoed to kiss him.
Turning the unknown into a known situation she controlled would save some time, that’s her expertise.
Xie Qingci was pressed against the wall, allowing her to kiss for two minutes, only when she tried to pull away did he suddenly grip her waist, kissed her more deeply.
He seemed like he’d been holding back for a long time, wanting to devour her, still not satisfied, one hand controlled her nape to prevent her from pulling away, the other unzipped the down jacket, precisely found the anklet.
Yu Xia was about to run out of breath, instinctually moved a bit, the dress skirt brushed against his wrist, the ruby chain warmed in his palm.
This is truly, "the ruby fell into his hand," for him to toy with.
Yu Xia’s hand tightly gripped his arm, the suit fabric too smooth, she then grabbed the collar of his white shirt.
The room was silent apart from their breaths.
After a long time, they separated, Xie Qingci with his thumb wiped the moisture off her lips.
"So beautiful," he was still nuzzling her, his voice low, "I should have seen you before you walked the red carpet."
"What’s the difference?"
"Of course there is, I could be the first to see you." Before she steps off the car into the arena, he should fiercely kiss her.
Yu Xia gazed at him, her hand softly caressing his clavicle upward, chuckled: "Then next time I’ll be the first to see you."
Xie Qingci hummed, kissed her gently off and on.
"I’ll buy this dress."
Yu Xia raised her brows: "Thanksgiving gift?"
"Hmm, whatever, as long as it’s not Mother’s Day."
She was amused by this quip, her fingers lightly brushing his suit: "You look great in this suit too, should I buy it as a return gift?"
Xie Qingci suddenly remembered long ago rumors by marketing accounts saying he was kept by sugar mamas, considering Yu Xia’s real estate everywhere, naturally nodded.
"Then it’s bothersome for the sugar mama to splurge."
Yu Xia gave him a coy look, her eyes glimmering, causing him to lean in for another kiss.
After changing clothes and finding He Ci, he and Mei were already halfway through their coffee in the lounge, giving them a subtle glance when they walked out.
"Don’t look, it’s just a legal kiss." Yu Xia bluntly said.
He Ci was choked by her directness.
"Don’t tell me, I can’t listen to adult content."
Mei laughed awkwardly, meeting He Ci’s icy gaze, immediately covered her mouth.
Xie Qingci’s mood improved from watching the fun, when looking at Mei, she sheepishly waved at him, took out a photo asking for his autograph.
To this fan who unwittingly helped him, Xie Qingci generously gave a signing with a name, making Mei excitedly kiss the photo twice.
Yu Xia then gave her a cool glance.
"Behave, the real person is right here, and this person is mine, you can’t kiss the photo either."
Xie Qingci cooperated with a nod: "Yes, I’m hers, only she can kiss."
He Ci: Ugh, stinky couple get lost!
Mei: Wuwuwu my OTP is so sweet!
