Little Seductress Part 1

When Xie Yanli received that photo from Pei Feng, night had already fallen in Bei Cheng.

Qin Fan's scenes were filmed from the end of summer to the beginning of winter. The days were short and the nights were long. At just six o'clock, the sky had completely darkened.

In the CEO's office on the top floor of the Xie Group, it was still as bright as day. After finishing his last meeting, Xie Yanli leaned back in his leather chair, his stern face showing a hint of languor as he picked up his phone.

However, after seeing that photo, his ink-black eyes turned indifferent.

A moment later, a cold sneer escaped his thin lips.

Secretary Wen brought over a cup of coffee and was so frightened by the sneer that his hand almost slipped.

Fortunately, he managed to steady the coffee cup in time, and of course, also secured his position as chief secretary. Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally glimpsed the screen of President Xie's phone.

'!!!'

Secretary Wen recalled that he had just transferred this month's allowance to Mrs. Xie half an hour ago, and fell silent.

Whenever Xie Yanli's emotions fluctuated, he would reach for the black Buddhist prayer beads he usually wore on his wrist, but this time, he touched nothing.

Only then did he remember that he had even given the prayer beads to that heartless creature, Qin Fan.

Secretary Wen timely offered the coffee: "President Xie, Mrs. Xie wraps up filming next weekend. She must be hoping you'll personally pick her up and bring her home."

He casually placed his phone face down on the desk, leaned back in his chair, and asked with a composed expression, "What time is the flight?"

The filming location for the latter half of Feng Hua had moved to a film studio in the south. The flight back to Bei Cheng was over three hours long.

"Ten in the morning."

After a slight pause, Secretary Wen checked Xie Yanli's schedule. "You have an appointment at noon that day."

Xie Yanli gave a casual reply, not saying whether he would postpone it or not. He tapped his knuckles on the desk and, after a few seconds, instructed in a calm voice, "Prepare a bouquet of flowers for that day."

Secretary Wen: "What kind of flowers?"

Xie Yanli gave him a cold glance. "What do you think?"

Secretary Wen's skin tightened. He immediately stood up straight respectfully. "Understood! Only the most expensive flowers from the florist are worthy of your wife!"

Xie Yanli rested for a moment, then stood up calmly and composedly. He picked up the suit jacket left aside, put it on, and fastened the cufflinks with his long fingers, his handsome face looking serene.

'Mrs. Xie's tantrum phase should be over by now.'

So, before leaving, he paused slightly. "Besides the flowers, prepare a few other gifts as well."

Secretary Wen: "Yes!"

To welcome Mrs. Xie home and for the sake of a harmonious family life, Xie Yanli felt that as a man and a husband, he could be a bit more patient with his wife.

'Hmm... I'll coax her home first, then deal with her slowly.'

However.

President Xie never expected that what would welcome him wouldn't be Mrs. Xie's touching and affectionate kisses and hugs.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was the day Qin Fan wrapped up filming and was going home.

After the wrap-up party with everyone, Qin Fan got into the spirit of things and had a couple of extra drinks.

At this moment, she was lazily draped over Xiao Tu's shoulder, holding a small mirror and looking at her reflection.

"Magic mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful fairy in the world?"

"Is it the little fairy Cancan~"

Hearing Qin Fan muttering to herself, Jiang Rong couldn't resist taking a picture of her like this to show her the next day.

To see if she would still dare to drink.

Annoyed, Jiang Rong snatched the mirror from her, poured a glass of warm water, and prepared to give it to her, signaling for Xiao Tu to hold her steady.

She poked her on the forehead. "You're a lightweight with a big craving!"

"Am I not beautiful?" Qin Fan felt wronged. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were misty, as if they could suck a person in to sink with her.

Since it was a somewhat formal occasion and there would be photos, Qin Fan wore a black strapless cocktail dress. The bodice was adorned with clusters of embroidered butterflies, so realistic they looked as if they were about to take flight.

A matching butterfly hairpin was tied in her jet-black hair, with two thin pearl chains woven into her thick, fluffy curls. It was a look that was both languid and exquisite; she truly was the most beautiful fairy.

Neither Xiao Tu nor Jiang Rong could bring themselves to say she wasn't beautiful.

With a face full of sincere perfunctoriness, Jiang Rong held her down to give her water. "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! You're the most beautiful!"

Qin Fan felt she was being perfunctory. Even though she was drunk, her logic was very clear. "Then write a 3,000-word essay on the spot praising my beauty."

Jiang Rong: "..."

Xiao Tu silently tried to shrink her presence, afraid that Qin Fan would ask her to write an essay too. She wasn't a literature major. Didn't she see that even Sister Jiang, a liberal arts student, was stumped?

The atmosphere in the car became a bit heavy.

It was filled with the tense atmosphere of being called on by a teacher and not knowing the answer.

Not until Qin Fan's phone rang did the strange atmosphere in the car break.

Seeing the video call notification, Jiang Rong immediately answered the phone and shoved it at her. "Quick, have your top-student husband write you a 10,000-word essay on the spot!"

As soon as the video call connected, Xie Yanli saw Mrs. Xie's fair and tender face pressed right up against the camera.

Her dark, moist eyes blinked and blinked. "Hubby?"

Her voice, with its slightly drawn-out tone, was already clear and sweet, but now it carried a lingering, affectionate charm.

Forget men; even Xiao Tu and Jiang Rong, who were watching from the side, felt their bones go numb.

They silently began to pity President Xie, who could only look but not touch.

What was even more pitiable was that not only could President Xie not touch her, he also had to write an essay.

Xie Yanli's voice was cool and clear. He responded calmly and concisely, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

However, Qin Fan didn't seem to hear Xie Yanli. Holding the phone, her full face finally appeared. She tilted her head innocently and asked, "Magic mirror, is your fairy wife pretty?"

Xie Yanli was caught off guard by her question. 'But what is this 'magic mirror' thing?'

He did take a couple of serious looks at her and didn't lie. "Yes."

"Pretty."

Even someone with a personality as picky as his mother couldn't find any fault with Mrs. Xie's beauty.

"Then write a 10,000-word essay praising how beautiful I am." Qin Fan cupped her face, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled at Xie Yanli. Her luscious, vibrant red lips moved closer to the phone. "If you praise me well, I'll give you a kiss."

Whoa!

This little seductress!

Jiang Rong and Xiao Tu were happily enjoying the show.

Xiao Tu whispered in Jiang Rong's ear, "Sister Jiang, how many days do you think Fanfan will be unable to get out of bed after she gets home tomorrow?"

Jiang Rong's face was grim as she flipped through Qin Fan's schedule. "Three days at most. On the fourth day, she has a magazine cover shoot. Even if she has to crawl, she'll crawl for me!"

Xiao Tu blushed. "If I had such a seductive wife, and I were a man, I wouldn't let her out. I'd lock her in bed every day."

Jiang Rong turned to look at Xiao Tu. "Xiao Tu, I never realized that beneath your delicate appearance, you're so wild."

Xiao Tu was aghast. "Sister Jiang, it's not that I'm wild, it's that Fairy Fan is just too alluring, okay!"

On the other side, President Xie lived up to his name. Faced with such a little seductress, he could still remain calm and composed, unhurriedly bargaining, "Ten thousand words for a kiss. High cost, low profit. In terms of my time, it's not a good deal."

Qin Fan was dumbfounded by his calculation. Her moist red lips parted. "Huh?"

"Mrs. Xie, you're trying to get something for nothing, to make me work for free." Xie Yanli knew she was drunk again. Thinking of the kiss she had just mentioned, his gaze shifted to the huge nude oil painting across from him. His thin lips curved into a very faint arc as he subtly guided her, "Besides a kiss, what other benefits can you bring me?"

Qin Fan furrowed her delicate and exquisite little brows. She didn't want to get something for nothing; she knew you couldn't make people work for free.

Then she rubbed her head in frustration, unable to think of what she could give him.

"What do you want?" In the end, Qin Fan was led astray by him and asked subconsciously.

Jiang Rong and Xiao Tu wished they could prick up their ears to listen. Were these words, not suitable for children, something they, as adults, were allowed to hear?

Yes!

Xie Yanli naturally knew her manager was with her, so he only said, "I'll think about it."

Qin Fan was very obedient. "Oh, okay then..."

Until the video call ended, she never again pestered Xie Yanli to write an on-the-spot essay about her beauty.
