Liang Qing's attack was fueled by the anger she had suffered at Su Heng's hands, so she went all out.
However, because she was wearing a long dress, the dress invisibly cushioned the force for Su Heng.
Even so, Su Heng was still in considerable pain from the sudden attack. He bent over and let out a muffled groan.
Xiao Qi, watching the rapidly decreasing favorability rating, anxiously screamed in her mind, "[Host, Su Heng's dislike rating has increased even more!]"
Liang Qing didn't have time to reply; her energy was all focused on Su Heng.
Su Heng looked up at Liang Qing, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, his anger burning even more fiercely.
"You look for……"
He was interrupted again before he could finish his sentence. Liang Qing grabbed his collar without hesitation, glanced at him sideways, and said with a strong sense of sarcasm, "What are you throwing a tantrum for? Just because it's your family's property, you think you can cause trouble here? Have you thought about the consequences of your reckless behavior?"
Su Heng was taken aback and was about to retort, but stopped when he saw the anger in Liang Qing's eyes and began to ponder the consequences of what she had said.
Indeed, as she said, if he abandons his responsibilities, the consequences will be severe.
Valentine's Day series is a significant project. If the magazine shoot is delayed, the marketing department will have to stop promotions, and other jewelry companies may gain an advantage during this period.
From a public perspective, this will result in economic losses.
On a personal level, his sister would also be made difficult by those old foxes on the board of directors because of her poor performance.
Although he realized that Liang Qing was right, he was still unwilling to admit his mistake to someone he disliked.
After venting his anger, Liang Qing's anger subsided considerably.
Seeing Su Heng's sullen face and silence, her expression improved considerably.
At least he stopped causing trouble, which means there's still hope.
She released her grip on his collar, and he straightened up, glancing at her awkwardly before turning away when their eyes met.
Liang Qing went up and patted his collar a few times, her tone softening: "No matter what you think, whether you hate me or this job, since you've agreed to this shoot, you have to take responsibility for your choice."
Her words carried a hint of advice, which Su Heng sensed, and his anger from earlier vanished without him even realizing it.
Xiao Qi stared in disbelief as his aversion level plummeted to -30 at lightning speed. Was this what the host meant by "love comes and goes quickly"?
Xiao Qi couldn't help but admire the host's understanding of people like Su Heng's personality, and silently kept quiet.
After Liang Qing's words of advice, Su Heng was no longer so prickly towards Liang Qing, and his resistance to filming was not so strong.
So when Liang Qing walked towards the photography studio, he followed her.
Liang Qing didn't care whether he followed or not, and continued walking forward on his own.
Back in the studio, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward. Many people turned their attention to Su Heng. Seeing that although he looked unfriendly, at least he didn't look like he wanted to eat people up like before, so they relaxed and gradually returned to their previous state.
When the photographer saw him, he frowned slightly. If this kid didn't cooperate, he didn't care whose son or whose brother he was, he would start cursing him anyway.
Seeing his expression, the photography assistant knew that the photographer hadn't listened to him and silently prayed that Su Heng would stop causing trouble.
Su Yan had told him that his younger brother had a bad temper and asked him to take good care of him.
Now his younger brother is at odds with the photographer, and the photographer is unwilling to back down either. One is a scion of a wealthy family, and the other is his benefactor; he can't afford to offend either of them.
He's just a working man, why should he suffer like this?
Perhaps his prayers were answered by the heavens, for Su Heng stopped paying attention to the photographer and took a long stride to follow Liang Qing onto the exhibition stand.
This time, he obediently stood next to her as the photographer requested. The two were very close, and when Su Heng looked down, he could see her fair and delicate skin. Her chest rose and fell slightly with her breathing, and for some reason, a fire seemed to ignite in his heart.
He immediately looked away and straightened his collar as a cover-up.
The photographer had a clear view of his actions. He was initially worried that the kid wouldn't cooperate, but now he saw him glancing at Liang Qing from time to time, and his expression was somewhat unnatural.
I knew this kid had probably been "educated" by the female model.
He wasn't very interested in what happened between him and the female model; he just wanted the upcoming shoot to go smoothly.
Although he had some dissatisfaction with Su Heng, he still had professional ethics and high standards for his work. If the subject matter of this project hadn't been to his liking, he wouldn't have accepted Su Yan's invitation and flown all the way from abroad.
So he still focused on the shooting and started directing the movements, saying, "Female model, put your hands behind your back on the male model's neck to highlight the necklace."
Liang Qing, whose name was called, wasn't nervous, but Su Heng became nervous first. He and Liang Qing had never had such intimate physical contact before.
Su Heng had always known that Liang Qing was unwilling to have any unnecessary physical contact with him. He used to think that Liang Qing felt it was inappropriate because she hadn't accepted his advances yet, but later he learned that she disliked him from the beginning and naturally didn't want any unnecessary contact with him.
Given how much she dislikes him, would she cooperate?
He once accidentally touched her hand, and she scolded him for three days.
As he was lost in thought, her cool voice rang out beside him, seemingly scolding him for his distraction, "Concentrate."
Immediately afterwards, her hand covered his neck, her well-defined knuckles gently resting on his neck, her fingertips warm, making Su Heng feel a slight itch on his neck.
At such close range, he could faintly smell the fragrance emanating from her hair.
Su Heng froze, unsure of what to do.
The photographer, half-squatting with the camera in his hand, was still somewhat dissatisfied with the posture. Then, he had a sudden inspiration and said, "Male model, put your hands on the female model's waist."
Su Heng's breath hitched as he looked at the fair skin exposed on Liang Qing's openwork waist. His hand hovered in mid-air, not daring to touch it.
Liang Qing didn't feel the touch of his hand on hers, and thought that he still hadn't listened to what he had just said and was going to throw a tantrum again.
She was getting a little impatient, but when she looked down, she saw his hands hovering on either side of her waist, with a hint of caution.
She turned her head suspiciously and saw his blushing ears and bobbing Adam's apple. She was surprised to find that he was actually shy.
This is more like the innocent, adorable puppy from the original book.
Liang Qing smiled slightly. Although she found his current appearance quite amusing, she noticed the photographer's furrowed brows out of the corner of her eye, and she thought it best to finish taking the photos first.
She feigned impatience and lowered her voice to say to Su Heng, "Just cooperate properly. How long are we going to film if you keep acting so coy?"
Seeing that he was still hesitant, she added, "I'm paid by the hour. If you want your family to pay me a few more hours, I don't mind."
Her words clearly indicated that she didn't believe Su Heng could complete the duo photoshoot in a short time. Given Su Heng's temperament, he naturally wouldn't want to be looked down upon by her, in any way.
Su Heng was indeed provoked, and his competitive spirit took over, suppressing his romantic thoughts.
He snorted, placed his hand, which was loosely resting on her waist, on top of hers, and replied, "Dream on."
Perhaps because he didn't want her to look down on him, or perhaps because he didn't want to pay her too much, Su Heng was incredibly cooperative and expressive during the subsequent shoot, as if she had a cheat code.
So the filming ended quickly.
"knock off."
At the photographer's command, Liang Qing immediately removed his hands from Su Heng's chest and got off his knees.
Seeing her impatient manner, Su Heng scoffed inwardly. She was indeed a sophisticated egoist. She had been kindly advising him just now, but now that the work was done, she treated him like he was invisible.
He quickly got up, and the stylist helped him adjust his clothes in preparation for his upcoming solo cover.
As Su Heng was cooperating with the stylist, Liang Qing suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Su Heng felt a little nervous under her gaze, but remained outwardly calm, lazily raising his eyes to ask, "What's wrong?"
Liang Qing stared at him for a few seconds without saying a word. Just as Su Heng was about to ask another question, she turned around.
Su Heng pursed his lips, no longer holding any expectations for her. He knew Liang Qing was prepared to ignore him and leave as always.
He was tired. Anyway, Liang Qing wouldn't listen to him no matter what he said, so why bother making a fool of himself?
Unexpectedly, Liang Qing suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with admiration, and she parted her lips slightly, leaving behind the words: "You were very impressive just now, you have a lot of talent."
In Su Heng's heart, it seemed that what she left behind was not just those words, but a bomb that shattered the calm pool of his heart, causing water to splash everywhere.
She had been gone for quite a while, and Su Heng still hadn't recovered from what she'd just said.
Liang Qing had never praised him before. No matter how well-behaved or obedient he was, she was always very impatient with him and would often scold him.
But now, her eyes, which had always shown only indifference or annoyance towards him, actually revealed admiration.
And what she said wasn't just "not bad," it was "very impressive!"
This subtly warmed his heart, and his cheeks unconsciously flushed red.
He was distracted while the stylist was talking to him, and it wasn't until the photographer called him to the stage that he gradually snapped out of his thoughts.
