Chapter 272

She didn’t want to show any hint of space between them for Wen Yongchen to wedge himself through.

Wen Yongchen felt like a bucket of cold water had been suddenly dumped over his head.

He realized that in Zhong Yuhuan’s heart, he was probably not even a tenth of Li Jinyuan.

If Zhong Yuhuan knew his thoughts, she would tell him that he wasn’t even a hundredth.

He thought too highly of himself.

After leaving the teahouse, Huo Chengming spoke first. “Wen Yongchen isn’t a good candidate. I’ve told you before.”

Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but nod her head. “Isn’t it because he was still pretending before…”

At that point, Zhong Yuhuan suddenly changed the topic. “How did you know I was here?”

Huo Chengming tightened his grip on her hand.

Zhong Yuhuan turned to stare at him.

Li Jinyuan first exposed himself, and then Wen Yongchen explained the situation clearly to her. Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t pretend to not see it even if she wanted to.

Since she couldn’t pretend she decided to face it head-on.

Huo Chengming’s pitch suddenly dropped, becoming deeper. “I have people keeping their eyes on Wen Yongchen. As soon as he headed in this direction, I knew what was going on.”

“Were you very angry then?” Zhong Yuhuan said as she opened the car door.

Huo Chengming pursed his lips. “His words were too arrogant, not putting you in his eyes at all.” Didn’t put me in his eyes either, like I, Huo Chengming, was dead, Huo Chengming coldly thought, his mouth pressing into a line.

“… It would’ve been better to leave him in Turkey,” Huo Chengming said.

But after saying that, Huo Chengming was afraid that Zhong Yuhuan would be angry, so he hurriedly turned to look at her.

Only after confirming that Zhong Yuhuan’s expression was calm and devoid of abnormality did Huo Chengming let out a sigh of relief. Although he was almost exposed in Turkey, he was still not prepared to completely show his other side to Zhong Yuhuan yet.

He didn’t want to leave any bad impression in her heart.

Zhong Yuhuan sighed. “This is very troublesome…”

Huo Chengming didn’t speak.

He hadn’t done anything in the dark before mostly because he was afraid that Zhong Yuhuan would be unhappy.

But today, he realized that Zhong Yuhuan didn’t care about this person at all…

Huo Chengming restrained the murderous light in his eyes.

There were too many ways he could deal with this. Zhong Yuhuan wouldn’t even know and it wouldn’t bother her at all.

Huo Chengming was suddenly quiet, so Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but glance over at him.

Ever since childhood, Zhong Yuhuan had to admit that Huo Chengming’s appearance was quite excellent, completely worthy of his villain role.

But when Huo Chengming didn’t speak, he wasn’t like the sullen, introverted boy from before anymore. Now, he had a dignified aura surrounding him.

Zhong Yuhuan licked her lips, opening and closing them several times, but still couldn’t say anything.

It’s not because she was embarrassed or scared but because she actually didn’t know what to say…

What should I say?

To ask you for your opinion on this? Do you also think that Li Jinyuan likes me?

How about you? Do you also like me?

Too weird.

During the silence, Huo Chengming stepped on the gas.

Zhong Yuhuan returned to her senses, just realizing that they were the only ones in the car. Huo Chengming didn’t bring any assistants or secretaries, not even bodyguards or a driver.

On the other side, after they left, Wen Yongchen finally took a deep breath and exercised his neck with difficulty.

His blood circulated again.

He grabbed the phone on the table, his hand slightly shaking.

“Hello.”

“How is it, brother Chen?”

When Wen Yongchen heard his agent’s voice from the other side, he blinked, the blood dripping down his face.

He slowly rose and walked outside. Only after leaving the teahouse did Wen Yongchen say to his agent, “… Huo Chengming’s watch over Zhong Yuhuan is too tight. We didn’t talk for long before he barged in to fight.”

The agent was greatly startled. “What happens next?”

“Zhong Yuhuan hinted that she would push me into Director Xu’s film.” Wen Yongchen lifted his hand to wipe the blood off his face.

“Then what should we do now?” The agent, who had a thought-out plan before, had no ideas now.

No matter how much they thought it through, they didn’t think that Zhong Yuhuan wouldn’t accept any of their offers. Then, with Huo Chengming staring at him from the side, what could he do? Deal with him by force? They would need to have even more power than that though.

Wen Yongchen moved his lips. “… Then let’s help Li Jinyuan this time.”

“Help him?” The agent was stunned, not understanding Wen Yongchen’s intentions.

Wen Yongchen smiled. “Right. Help him. And also help Huo Chengming. Help them completely expose themselves in front of Zhong Yuhuan.”

Let’s see who will be avoided by Zhong Yuhuan first, Wen Yongchen thought.

***

In the car.

Huo Chengming’s agitated blood had still not calmed down yet. While he was waiting for the traffic light to change, he couldn’t suppress his restlessness, tapping his fingers continuously on the steering wheel.

That section of Li Jinyuan’s interview kept replaying in his head.

Huo Chengming pulled on his tie, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple.

“Huanhuan, do you like Li Jinyuan?” he asked abruptly.
