Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Chapter 256

Zhong Yuhuan’s tone was very casual because although this situation was annoying, it really didn’t amount to anything.

How blind would the people behind this be? Thinking that they could succeed with their capital? Leading the discussion with a few comments?

Not to mention, there’s Lang Jinzhi behind them.

Li Jinyuan’s smile seemed like a flower. “I’m not angry. There’s nothing to be angry about. I’m actually pretty happy, happy that Huanhuan called because she’s worried about me.”

Li Jinyuan expressed his gratitude solemnly, making Zhong Yuhuan a bit embarrassed.

There were still other workers walking in the hallway.

Li Jinyuan didn’t pay any attention. He only lowered his head and continued smiling as he talked with Zhong Yuhuan.

After walking out the hallway, one person couldn’t help but whisper, “He can still be so calm at this point, with such a good mentality. If this type of person can’t go far in life, then no one would be able to.”

“Yeah…”

As they whispered, they already knew something.

If someone still went with the flow to step on Li Jinyuan, then they’re really dumb.

Li Jinyuan and Zhong Yuhuan agreed on a time to have dinner that night. They ended the call and Li Jinyuan continued to put on his makeup, then recorded the show normally.

On this show, none of the staff, including the host, did anything stupid, like trying to embarrass Li Jinyuan.

There were two fresh meats* in that episode. They wanted to grab onto this opportunity and take some of Li Jinyuan’s popularity, but without the staff’s cooperation, it was all in vain. As a result, the show was filmed for an hour before the director called “Cut.”

*New, young, male celebrities

When the recording ended, Li Jinyuan didn’t stay and directly got in a car, going to the restaurant he agreed on with Zhong Yuhuan.

The two fresh meats behind couldn’t suppress their jealousy. “No wonder Wen Yongchen started fanning the news, wholeheartedly pursuing her. Having a rich backer as a supporter is really different…”

The other one was even more jealous. “It would be good even if Miss Zhong is raising Li Jinyuan…”

If Li Jinyuan’s fine, then other people should be fine too, right?

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t know that because of the commotion on the Internet, she had become a sugar mommy, being eyed by so many others.

The people who have lurked in the circle for some years didn’t care about chastity and all that.

Both male and female stars were accepting of the unspoken rules. If following those rules would let them reach the sky in one step, then who wouldn’t be willing?

When Li Jinyuan arrived at the restaurant, Zhong Yuhuan was already in her seat. Her phone was next to her as she focused on flipping the menu.

Li Jinyuan walked over and accidentally looked towards her phone screen.

Just then, Zhong Yuhuan’s phone lit up, displaying “Wen Yongchen sent a message.”

Li Jinyuan’s eyes moved, sitting in front of Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan passed the menu to him. “Here, I’m done ordering. You choose the dishes you like.”

Li Jinyuan nodded, taking the menu. However, he didn’t look at it right away. Instead, he stared at Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan was a bit uncomfortable with his stare and couldn’t help but ask, “What?”

Li Jinyuan laughed, raising his hand to tidy the hair strands by her ear. “Your drop earring and hair are tangled together.”

“Oh.” Zhong Yuhuan slightly lowered her head, using her own hand to tidy it.

But Li Jinyuan grabbed her wrist, the action gentle yet restraining her movement. Then, he stood up, bending over the table, approaching Zhong Yuhuan as he used his other hand to tidy her hair.

For a while, Zhong Yuhuan felt a bit uncomfortable.

Probably because this action seemed too intimate…

This type of intimacy was completely different from the usual way they piggybacked her, fed her, or let her lean against their shoulder…

But Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t describe how it was different.

Maybe because when Li Jinyuan bent down like this, his shadow fell onto her head, bringing her an invisible sense of barrier?

“Is it still messy?” Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but want him to hurry up.

“… Mhm, it’s done.” Li Jinyuan timely took his hand back and sat down.
