"Call Li Jinyuan?" Huo Chengming's voice came from behind the desk.
Zhong Yuhuan nodded: "Well, I asked him about his situation."
Huo Chengming moved his lips and couldn't help but say: "Why should he worry about you?" His tone was weird, which was really inconsistent with Huo Chengming's usual style.
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned for a moment and said, "... I have to ask."
Huo Chengming didn't hold on to this, he was just sulking.
I'm angry that I just sit down and deal with business...
Huo Chengming glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was getting late: "Going to have lunch?"
"Yeah, okay."
Huo Chengming took his suit jacket and walked out with Zhong Yuhuan. As he walked, he began to think about how to get the paparazzi to take pictures later...
As soon as Zhong Yuhuan and Huo Chengming walked out, they attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone in the company was talking quietly.
"Is Mr. Huo also adopted?"
"It doesn't look like it."
"Miss Zhong's mother-in-law is really discerning. As soon as she adopted her, she chose the idol Li Jinyuan."
"I'm so envious. Yesterday I had dinner with Li, and today I have dinner with Mr. Huo. Sure enough, good people are surrounded by good people?"
"Stop talking, I'm going to work hard. Bye."
Zhong Yuhuan didn't know that she had become an excellent idol. She and Huo Chengming went out and chose a restaurant for lunch.
Han Yingying's phone call came.
"No wonder you don't play with us today, are you afraid of being blocked by the paparazzi?" Han Yingying said happily over there.
"Yes, paparazzi are quite annoying." Zhong Yuhuan didn't say that he wanted to accompany Huo Chengming for dinner. After all, he had to explain it again after saying this.
"Ahem, how are you and Wen Yongchen doing? I've been reading the news recently and they said... your affairs are going to get dirty?"
Zhong Yuhuan bit his chopsticks, lowered his eyes, and chatted slowly with the person on the other end: "It was not bad at first, the personality and appearance were suitable. But, he had a conflict with Li Jinyuan first, and then with Huo Chengming There will be a conflict. That won’t work..."
Han Yingying paused there and stopped talking.
Zhong Yuhuan heard that she was hesitant to speak and asked one more question: "What's wrong? What do you want to say? Do you want to persuade me?"
"I'm not trying to persuade you. Only you know whether that person is suitable for you, whether you like him or not. It's you who are in love, not me. But let's say he starts with your family, Mr. Li. There was a conflict, and Mr. Huo was behind it. Don’t you think this is Wen Yongchen’s problem? "
"What do you mean?" Zhong Yuhuan bit the chopsticks hard.
Huo Chengming had focused all his attention on Zhong Yuhuan as soon as he heard his name being mentioned.
But he didn't pay attention to who Zhong Yuhuan was talking on the phone.
He stared closely at her lips.
She had just drank some of the soup he served, and her lips were moist and bright and crimson. When she spoke, her lips opened and closed slightly, revealing a little bit of her teeth.
While talking to the other end, she would sometimes bite her chopsticks and stick her tongue out between her teeth.
Huo Chengming suddenly felt unbearable.
Reason told him that this was not good.
But ever since the key to Pandora's box in my brain was opened in Turkey... all my thoughts after that gradually became like a wild horse running wild, heading in an uncontrollable direction.
Like this moment.
Huo Chengming thought calmly but restlessly.
He wanted to push the girl in front of him down on the table, take away the chopsticks and mobile phone in her hand, kiss and bite her lips, and taste the sweet soup in her mouth. Let her mouth no longer spit out the name of another person besides him.
…
Han Yingying continued talking on the other end of the phone. She hesitated and said, "Have you ever thought that Mr. Li and Mr. Huo don't want to see you fall in love?"
"I know." Zhong Yuhuan said.
"you know?"
"Well, Huo Chengming told me before."
Han Yingying paused: "Then you...then you don't feel anything is wrong?"
Zhong Yuhuan raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Chengming.
Huo Chengming was staring at her with a deep gaze, and his dark eyes seemed to hide some kind of light that would burn people if he touched it.
Zhong Yuhuan was startled for a moment, then quickly looked away, and turned slightly sideways to avoid Huo Chengming. Then she continued to say to Han Yingying: "There's nothing wrong. My cousin knows that I want to fall in love. Let's start." A little unhappy too.”
"That's different..." Han Yingying bit her lip: "We have all seen the news about you and Li Jinyuan being secretly photographed while eating. Don't you think that photo... is weird..."
She felt this.
Zhong Yuhuan whispered in his heart.
But she didn't want to tell others this. If she wrongly accused Li Jinyuan, wouldn't it damage Li Jinyuan's image in the eyes of others
Zhong Yuhuan could only shake his head and said, "Nothing strange."
Han Yingying finally couldn't help it anymore and said in one breath: "Don't you think they are too possessive of you? You and Wen Yongchen have an affair, and Li Jinyuan was caught eating with you... Anyway, anyway, you You can grow up on your own. Even if you are a family, you are not worthy of this. If Wen Yongchen is not good... then there are others. People in the entertainment industry, modeling circles, and those who are engaged in art, top students, rich second generation... There are so many people you can choose from. If you really think it would be good to fall in love, I will introduce you to a few good ones tomorrow... "
Zhong Yuhuan was really interested when he heard it, so he forgot about Huo Chengming, Li Jinyuan and so on.
Whether it was for her own needs or to break the current weird status quo, Zhong Yuhuan felt that falling in love was a good choice.
"Okay." Zhong Yuhuan responded, and asked the other end with interest: "Is there anyone studying law?"
"There is also a medical student, wearing a white coat, long legs, abstinent and handsome. Do you like it?" Han Yingying said with a smile.
Zhong Yuhuan: "It won't work if it's less than 1.8 meters tall."
"Everything you want is 1.9 meters tall."
Huo Chengming came back to his senses now, and he barely suppressed his restless mood.
As a result, I heard Zhong Yuhuan say that it would not work if it was less than 1.8 meters tall.
What doesn't work
Huo Chengming frowned, reached out and took away Zhong Yuhuan's cell phone.
"Han Yingying?"
Han Yingying was getting excited when she suddenly heard a different person on the other end of the phone. She was startled and her voice became calmer: "Mr. Huo."
"What did He Huanhuan say about 1.8 meters?" Huo Chengming asked directly.
He couldn't cross-examine Zhong Yuhuan and make Zhong Yuhuan unhappy, so he simply asked Han Yingying. Han Yingying was afraid of him.
Han Yingying was indeed afraid of him and immediately said: "I told Huanhuan about the rich second generation who was chasing me recently."
"Yeah."
"Yes, yes." Han Yingying said repeatedly, and used the method of deflecting damage: "No more, I have to watch the news. There seems to be some news about Li Jinyuan..."
After saying that, Han Yingying hung up the phone.
Huo Chengming returned the phone to Zhong Yuhuan and whispered, "Has Han Yingying had a lot of boyfriends in the past few years?"
"Well."
Huo Chengming suppressed the unexplainable anxiety in his heart and said, "Huanhuan, don't imitate her."
Zhong Yuhuan nodded.
Anyway, she doesn't have many people she likes. Even if she likes someone, she still has to examine him for a while. Of course, she won't just fall in love if she says she's in love, or change someone if she says she wants to.
Huo Chengming's face looked better now.
But after such an interruption, he couldn't think of any way to get closer to Zhong Yuhuan so that the paparazzi could capture her.
Zhong Yuhuan took a bite of crispy bone pot stickers and frowned after taking half a bite: "I can't bite today."
Huo Chengming naturally took it from her chopsticks and ate the remaining half: "Give it to me."
Zhong Yuhuan froze there.
In the past, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming would occasionally come to clean up the leftover food she ate.
She still has a somewhat ladylike temperament and will eat whatever she wants without any scruples. They have to be thrifty and not waste easily, so they will eat whatever she can't finish. I never felt anything was wrong before. After all, sometimes parents eat leftovers from their children. But now... Zhong Yuhuan suddenly felt an electric shock all over his body, and he felt numb from the sky to the soles of his feet.
She licked her chopsticks unconsciously and said dryly: "Next time, don't do this next time."
"What kind?" Huo Chengming asked, and started to serve Zhong Yuhuan some soup.
Zhong Yuhuan blushed rarely, and she whispered: "Don't eat what I've eaten."
Huo Chengming paused, feeling unhappy and sour in his chest.
"Isn't it like this before? What's wrong?"
She can eat with Li Jinyuan, and Li Jinyuan can cut her hair, but can't he eat her food
"... Not very good." Zhong Yuhuan's voice became even lower.
She didn't know what was going on.
She obviously did nothing wrong.
This is the right reminder! It's wrong to let it go!
But Huo Chengming, who had always been like a big dog in front of her, suddenly stared at her closely, with some emotion flashing in his eyes.
Zhong Yuhuan felt a little strong oppression.
More and more things are accumulating in my chest, almost ready to explode.
But Huo Chengming still firmly remembers what Zhong Yuhuan said to him: It's okay to do bad things, but don't let me know...
Huo Chengming pursed his lips and suddenly smiled: "Okay."
You agreed so easily
Zhong Yuhuan suddenly couldn't believe it. She blinked and looked at Huo Chengming.
But Huo Chengming's face suddenly darkened and he said, "Then Huanhuan has to promise me something."
"Huh? What?"
At this moment, Huo Chengming completely forgot about work. He said, "Huanhuan, please come to work with me this month."
Zhong Yuhuan thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Okay."
She just sat in his office and played games. What couldn't she do
Huo Chengming lowered his eyes: "Drink the soup."
Zhong Yuhuan nodded and finished drinking the soup.
"I'm full." Zhong Yuhuan said.
"Let's go then." Huo Chengming stood up to pay.
The two walked out one after the other.
When they walked outside the restaurant, Huo Chengming suddenly grabbed Zhong Yuhuan into his arms and said, "There are paparazzi."
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned. He was tightly held in his arms and could hardly breathe at that moment.
His muscles were obviously not in vain, and his arms were imprisoned, as if he was trying to lock Zhong Yuhuan to death.
Zhong Yuhuan leaned on his chest, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
Huo Chengming's powerful heartbeat sounded in his ears.
Zhong Yuhuan thought hard, there are paparazzi, why are you hugging me
There’s no point in hugging...
But Huo Chengming didn't look at the paparazzi at all.
He hugged Zhong Yuhuan tightly and stared at the hair curls on her head. Only then did he feel that Zhong Yuhuan's request just now was not so unpleasant to him.
He doesn't know how long he can endure it, maybe it will be soon, maybe he can endure it for another year or two...
But what if Huanhuan reminds him again and again what he can and cannot do.
The string will always be stretched to the point where it can no longer be stretched and snap.
Thinking of the arrival of that day, Huo Chengming didn't even have a trace of panic in his heart, but only a vague expectation.
When I think about it like this, the moral sense in my heart disappears.
Huo Chengming lowered his head, touched her hair, and then let go.
"Okay, the paparazzi is gone." Huo Chengming opened his eyes and told lies.
"real?"
"Really." Huo Chengming opened the car door.
Zhong Yuhuan reluctantly believed him and got into the car obediently.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable.
When Huo Chengming held her in his arms just now, apart from holding her too tightly, she also had a... The gaze from above her head was strong and sharp, as if she was being stared at by a beast that wanted to eat her alive. .
Zhong Yuhuan took a breath and let out the air that accumulated in his chest. For a moment, he had no desire to speak.
Huo Chengming didn't say anything either.
His arms were still hot, and his limbs were recalling the feeling of hugging Zhong Yuhuan just now.
Huo Chengming thought, why not hire two reporters tomorrow to take pictures wherever they want.
…
What Li Jinyuan said during the interview was quickly edited and posted online, once again turning the world upside down.
"Ah, was I, Li, an orphan before? I really feel sorry for why TVT media still wants to expose people's scars!"
"Li Jinyuan is right. Doesn't an orphan have to be able to steal and rob to become a good person? Li Jinyuan is already very good now. That post is obviously fabricated black information."
"In that case, Li Jinyuan and Zhong Yuhuan are indeed not related by blood..."
"Blind Sheng, you discovered Hua Dian."
"Am I the only one who noticed this! I also had to take a call from Zhong Yuhuan during the interview! I said I was afraid of missing out! Oh my god!..."
"Because I didn't receive calls when I had stomach problems before, so now I set a special ringtone and don't dare to mute it... This is a lot to worry about Zhong Yuhuan. It's good not to be related by blood. Not even cousin. Then You can feel free to kowtow. Whisper softly."
…
Li Jinyuan was scrolling through Weibo comments in the background and smiled.
Wen Yongchen, who was on the other side, was also reading Weibo comments.
Li Jinyuan is so brave!
The author has something to say: Brother Li is showing off his power in front of the media, while Mr. Huo is causing trouble behind the scenes.
