Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Chapter 154 The Evil Actor 21

Not getting the reaction she expected, Wu Tongxue turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Xie Yunxiao gazed at his fair and jade-like profile, with its distinct lines, smooth curves, and long eyelashes that fluttered, casting dappled shadows in the light.

Their dark eyes were bright and sparkling, like the purest crystal.

For a moment, his mind was struck, and a tingling, electric-like sensation ran through his heart. Xie Yunxiao stared at him, lost in thought.

Even my breathing became lighter.

His eyes were half-closed, and his expression returned to normal.

His voice was relaxed and pleasant. "Perhaps you have a lawyer you recommend?"

The driver's eyes widened, his mind starting to go blank, unable to understand.

Forget it, he should just focus on driving. He won't understand anything too advanced.

Wu Tongxue gave him a strange look, then smiled, revealing her little tiger teeth. "Yes, I'll recommend them to you."

The law firm he recommended wasn't a well-known domestic team; it sounded rather unknown and more like an unreliable firm.

Actually, this is a team cultivated by the Huo family, working exclusively for the Huo family, and they keep a very low profile to the outside world.

Xie Yunxiao remained unfazed. "As a token of my gratitude, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Wu Tongxue's gaze swept over his face. "Okay."

There were no strange people at the banquet. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xie Yunxiao ate with Wu Tongxue.

Wu Tongxue was just there to freeload, so she didn't need to socialize; all she had to do was eat.

Almost everyone present recognized Xie Yunxiao, and even if he hid in a corner, he couldn't escape their gazes. The same gazes would sweep over Wu Tongxue, filled with doubt.

What is their relationship?

Gossiping is human nature, especially gossiping about two good-looking men.

"Hello, I'm Xie Yunxiao's friend." A man in a suit raised an eyebrow and smiled as he came over to greet him, then sat down next to Xie Yunxiao.

He nudged Xie Yunxiao's arm and asked, "Old Xie, how about you introduce yourself?"

Wu Tongxue was focused on eating when she heard a noise and looked up.

"Hiss." The stranger stroked his chin, frowning in thought. "Why do you look so familiar?"

Seem to have seen it somewhere?

I can't remember it at the moment.

Wu Tongxue looked at him carefully. "We haven't met before."

He added, "My profession is acting; you may have seen the roles I've played on television."

"Really?" Liang Tuo continued to recall. No way, he would definitely remember this face if he had seen it before.

"This is my good friend Liang Tuo; his family owns a company," Xie Yunxiao introduced the two.

"This is Wu Tongxue, mine—"

Xie Yunxiao's introduction was interrupted.

Liang Tuo suddenly realized, gasping for breath, "I remember now, you are—"

Wu Tongxue thought he had actually seen the roles she had played and recognized her.

“President Huo’s secretary!” Liang Tuo slapped his forehead. “We met at a cooperation signing ceremony, but I was just there to learn, so you probably didn’t notice me.”

Wu Tongxue paused in her movements.

The Huo family was indeed more famous than him.

He remembered that Huo Buyan had taken him to the company for a while, and he had casually followed along and slacked off. He never expected that someone would remember him for that.

Thinking of the huge workforce under the Huo Group, Wu Tongxue took another bite of the small cake.

After thinking about it carefully, I'd better not mess with these people.

Xie Yunxiao turned his gaze to Wu Tongxue, his eyes filled with doubt.

Wu Tongxue stopped eating her cake. "I have some connection with the Huo family. I studied there for a while before."

Saying he was studying was just a way of beautifying himself; he was simply causing trouble by following Huo Buyan around.

Before long, before Huo Buyan could even suggest that he not come to the company, Wu Tongxue felt guilty and decided not to go.

Because of his "outstanding abilities," Huo Buyan often worked overtime during that period, and at that time he would act as a well-behaved accessory.

Those who can learn from President Huo are not ordinary people. As for why he later entered the entertainment industry, Liang Tuo did not inquire and instead chatted about actors.

Taking the opportunity, Wu Tongxue promoted the dramas he had acted in, and after adding him as a friend, sent him a list of the dramas he had acted in.

Liang Tuo laughed heartily, holding his phone. "Looks like I won't be able to finish watching it until before the Lunar New Year."

Under Xie Yunxiao's occasionally unfriendly gaze, he shrugged, "I won't bother you anymore. Let's have dinner together next time."

He probably realized he'd become a third wheel, so he quickly made his escape.

With Xie Yunxiao sitting to the side, no one else bothered her, and Wu Tongxue happily enjoyed her meal.

After leaving the banquet, Wu Tongxue went out with Xie Yunxiao to play. They strolled around the night market at the lake square before reluctantly returning home.

Back in the car, after removing all the disguises, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. These were all prepared in advance by Xie Yunxiao, and their style was quite different from their usual one.

She skillfully selected two photos and posted them to maintain her popularity with her fans.

Looking back, Xie Yunxiao was still wearing sunglasses, a glittery hip-hop hat, a khaki leather jacket, and ripped jeans.

Wu Tongxue smirked, pressed the person down, and took several photos. "Don't move."

Xie Yunxiao looked at his ink-colored jacket and trousers, a look of helplessness and doting flashing in her eyes.

He originally intended to wear that outfit himself, but someone insisted on having it. Since he couldn't win against it, he had no choice but to obediently switch with it.

Xie Yunxiao, who was being haphazardly pressed down, was somewhat disheveled, and even his face couldn't withstand certain unflattering angles. Wu Tongxue looked at the photos in her hand, dissatisfied, and took a few more.

If these photos were leaked, the opposing side would probably immediately hire trolls to attack them relentlessly.

After Wu Tongxue let go, Xie Yunxiao didn't get up. He smiled and asked lazily, "Finished taking the photos?"

When the phone's photo album was brought in front of him, Wu Tongxue even showed it to him. With a smile on her rosy lips and white teeth, she pointed to the photos and said, "I'll keep all these photos on my phone from now on."

Xie Yunxiao looked up at his phone.

In the photo, a slender, fair hand is pressing down on my collar, revealing faint blue veins on the back of the hand, with clearly defined wrist bones and smooth, beautiful lines.

He only glanced at his own face casually, his gaze settling clearly on the hand that was very close to his Adam's apple, the warmth of the breath that had been so close still lingering in his mind's eye.

The tingling sensation lingered on his skin, a feeling that... fascinated him.

I want him to go even further.

These thoughts could not be spoken aloud; they could only churn within my mind.

Xie Yunxiao tentatively raised his hand, and the phone was immediately taken away.

Someone acted very alertly.

Xie Yunxiao hesitated before speaking, "Then you can't send these photos out."

Wu Tongxue nodded with arched eyebrows, "I definitely won't send it out, unless..." He looked at Xie Yunxiao and dragged out his words.

Xie Yunxiao listened to his conditions with composure.

"Unless... I haven't thought about it yet, we'll talk about it later." Wu Tongxue had already put her phone away.

Xie Yunxiao: "Okay, these photos can only be stored on your phone."

Wu Tongxue was talking to Xie Yunxiao, completely unaware that her base had been raided.

He did not receive any news that Huo Buyan would return.
