Chapter 272
She didnât 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 Yuhuanâs heart, he was probably not even a tenth of Li Jinyuan.
If Zhong Yuhuan knew his thoughts, she would tell him that he wasnât even a hundredth.
He thought too highly of himself.
After leaving the teahouse, Huo Chengming spoke first. âWen Yongchen isnât a good candidate. Iâve told you before.â
Zhong Yuhuan couldnât help but nod her head. âIsnât it because he was still pretending beforeâ¦â
At that point, Zhong Yuhuan suddenly changed the topic. âHow did you know I was here?â
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 couldnât pretend to not see it even if she wanted to.
Since she couldnât pretend she decided to face it head-on.
Huo Chengmingâs pitch suddenly dropped, becoming deeper. âI have people keeping their eyes on Wen Yongchen. As soon as he headed in this direction, I knew what was going on.â
âWere you very angry then?â Zhong Yuhuan said as she opened the car door.
Huo Chengming pursed his lips. âHis words were too arrogant, not putting you in his eyes at all.â Didnât put me in his eyes either, like I, Huo Chengming, was dead, Huo Chengming coldly thought, his mouth pressing into a line.
â⦠It wouldâve been better to leave him in Turkey,â 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 Yuhuanâs 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 didnât want to leave any bad impression in her heart.
Zhong Yuhuan sighed. âThis is very troublesomeâ¦â
Huo Chengming didnât speak.
He hadnât done anything in the dark before mostly because he was afraid that Zhong Yuhuan would be unhappy.
But today, he realized that Zhong Yuhuan didnât care about this person at allâ¦
Huo Chengming restrained the murderous light in his eyes.
There were too many ways he could deal with this. Zhong Yuhuan wouldnât even know and it wouldnât bother her at all.
Huo Chengming was suddenly quiet, so Zhong Yuhuan couldnât help but glance over at him.
Ever since childhood, Zhong Yuhuan had to admit that Huo Chengmingâs appearance was quite excellent, completely worthy of his villain role.
But when Huo Chengming didnât speak, he wasnât 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 couldnât say anything.
Itâs not because she was embarrassed or scared but because she actually didnât know what to sayâ¦
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 didnât 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.
âHello.â
âHow is it, brother Chen?â
When Wen Yongchen heard his agentâs 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, â⦠Huo Chengmingâs watch over Zhong Yuhuan is too tight. We didnât talk for long before he barged in to fight.â
The agent was greatly startled. âWhat happens next?â
âZhong Yuhuan hinted that she would push me into Director Xuâs film.â Wen Yongchen lifted his hand to wipe the blood off his face.
âThen what should we do now?â The agent, who had a thought-out plan before, had no ideas now.
No matter how much they thought it through, they didnât think that Zhong Yuhuan wouldnât 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. â⦠Then letâs help Li Jinyuan this time.â
âHelp him?â The agent was stunned, not understanding Wen Yongchenâs intentions.
Wen Yongchen smiled. âRight. Help him. And also help Huo Chengming. Help them completely expose themselves in front of Zhong Yuhuan.â
Letâs see who will be avoided by Zhong Yuhuan first, Wen Yongchen thought.
***
In the car.
Huo Chengmingâs agitated blood had still not calmed down yet. While he was waiting for the traffic light to change, he couldnât suppress his restlessness, tapping his fingers continuously on the steering wheel.
That section of Li Jinyuanâs interview kept replaying in his head.
Huo Chengming pulled on his tie, revealing his sexy Adamâs apple.
âHuanhuan, do you like Li Jinyuan?â he asked abruptly.
