Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 267

Chapter 267

Zhong Yuhuan watched the entire interview expressionlessly with Bluetooth headphones, save for a growing frown.

She realized that she didn’t understand Li Jinyuan’s actions at all.

In the interview, he hid almost nothing about how intimate they were.

Zhong Yuhuan only learned that his phone was never on silent mode and had a special ringtone set for her during the interview. However, Li Jinyuan had announced this all publicly.

Doesn’t that mean… that he doesn’t have any other intentions?

Idols weren’t allowed to date. If he really had those types of thoughts, he would at least not be so public about it, right?

But he deliberately allowed the interviewers to record it, then said those words in front of them…

As if he was purposefully hinting to others that him being close to her was like an act of asserting his dominance over her.

Zhong Yuhuan was more confused the more she thought about it.

Just as she vexed herself over this problem, she received a call from an unexpected person.

“Yuhuan, I’m Wen Yongchen.” The male voice on the other side said in a gentle tone, “I have something I want to talk to you about. Can we meet up for a meal?”

Hearing the words “Wen Yongchen,” Zhong Yuhuan instinctively raised her head to look at Huo Chengming.

Huo Chengming was also staring at her.

Zhong Yuhuan suddenly felt a bit of inexplicable guilt.

If Huo Chengming knew who was calling her, would he beat the pulp out of Wen Yongchen?

Zhong Yuhuan responded quietly, “What’s the matter?”

She thought that Wen Yongchen was a smart person and wouldn’t make any more actions after he felt her cold attitude.

“It’s about Mr. Li.”

Zhong Yuhuan frowned.

“Have you seen the news?” Wen Yongchen asked.

Zhong Yuhuan thought about it, then didn’t answer his question and directly said, “Let’s meet tomorrow.”

When Huo Chengming heard this, his expression changed. “Who are you meeting tomorrow?”

Zhong Yuhuan then remembered that she had agreed to eat with and accompany Huo Chengming to his company for an entire month.

Zhong Yuhuan frowned, telling Wen Yongchen, “… Nevermind, I don’t have time tomorrow.”

“It’s fine. Whenever you have time. I’m staying in Haishi for a while.”

“Then… next month?”

Wen Yongchen: “…”

Wen Yongchen tried to suppress the unwillingness and anger in his heart, asking in a low voice, “Is Mr. Huo beside you?”

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t answer directly, only responding with an “Ah.”

“Then can we just meet? No meal?” Wen Yongchen said in a warm voice.

Zhong Yuhuan looked at Huo Chengming. She did want to hear more things from Wen Yongchen. “Then just for a bit,” Zhong Yuhuan said. Then told him an address. “Can you go there?”

Wen Yongchen immediately responded, “Yes.”

Hanging up, Zhong Yuhuan prepared to go out.

Huo Chengming immediately placed down the signature pen in his hand. “Where are you going?”

“To give Han Yingying something.”

“What are you giving?” Huo Chengming tried his best to restrain himself, to not sound like he’s cross-examining her or unhappy with her. But even so, he still sounded very stiff. There was nothing he could do; he couldn’t be happy. He was still waiting for the paparazzi to capture them. But when he looked at the headlines today, they were still about Li Jinyuan!

Could it be that there are not enough possible topics about me?

If I had known that beforehand, then I’d have become a celebrity instead, Huo Chengming angrily thought repeatedly.

Zhong Yuhuan was afraid that Huo Chengming would overthink it, so she blinked her eyes and whispered, “She’s at the swimming pool and her grand-aunt arrived. I have to bring some stuff to her, or else there will be a bloodstained swimming pool soon.”

Huo Chengming’s eyes twitched. He naturally wouldn’t continue asking about female matters, so he hurriedly changed his tone. “Do you need my driver to send you there?”

Zhong Yuhuan shook her head. “I’ll take a taxi. If I use your driver, then Han Yingying will know that I’m with you. Han Yingying is easily embarrassed, so she doesn’t want others to know about it.”

Huo Chengming thought that it made sense.
