Zhong Yuhuan closed her eyes, scenes of their interactions through the years flitting across her mind.
There was Huo Chengming staring deeply at her while his upper body was naked, his muscles shocking. There was Li Jinyuan sitting on the stage, the sights of millions of fans focused on him, but his sight went past all of them, landing only on Zhong Yuhuan.
Zhong Yuhuan licked her lips, suddenly feeling like her heartbeat sped up a bit.
She nervously held her head.
If it was really love, then there was no going back.
No matter how it turns out in the future, she must accept it allâ¦
Zhong Yuhuan bit her lip, bleeding a bit from too much force.
***
This day was especially long.
To Li Jinyuanâs fans, it was tormenting. They didnât want to believe that Li Jinyuan was leaving the circle.
To Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, it was also tormenting. They both wanted to find Zhong Yuhuan but didnât know where she was. When they asked Lang Jinzhi, he refused to answer. Lang Jinzhi was Zhong Yuhuanâs cousin, so they didnât dare offend him. They could only grit their teeth and endure it.
While enduring, a day passed.
Huo Chengming sat on the sofa, swiping on his phoneâs screen, reading the comments on Weibo.
âHas anyone noticed that after this happened, Zhong Yuhuan hasnât said anything?â
âOh yeah, after little Huo brought her away from the concert that night, no one has seen her. Even reporters werenât able to reach her.â
âZhong Yuhuanâs probably feeling a lot of pressure. The deep feelings of two people, itâs not good no matter who she chooses⦠And especially since theyâre her brothers who suddenly want to be her boyfriend, she was definitely caught off guard. We donât know if Zhong Yuhuan likes anyone either. If she does, then itâs even more impossible for her to acceptâ¦â
Huo Chengming stared at the words âimpossible for her to accept,â hostility accumulating between his eyebrows.
âIâm going to find Huanhuan,â Huo Chengming coldly said.
Li Jinyuan raised an eyebrow. âCan you find her?â
Huo Chengming didnât bother concealing himself. âWhen there are special circumstances, you must use special methods.â
Li Jinyuan opened his mouth but didnât persuade him in the end. He also wanted to see Zhong Yuhuan, especially after watching videos of their CP. The feelings that had been suppressed in his heart before had burst out violently and he wanted to see Zhong Yuhuan immediately, and confess to her no matter what the result may beâ¦
Huo Chengming went out to call a few people.
About an hour later, a car came to pick up Huo Chengming. Li Jinyuan had never known what it meant to be âthick-skinnedâ and confidently followed Huo Chengming into the car.
Huo Chengming got into the car, pressing a hand against the car door.
His cold gaze focused on Li Jinyuan.
Li Jinyuan didnât retreat. âAre you not moving?â
Seeing Huo Chengming not moving away, Li Jinyuan asked, âAre you afraid that Iâd steal Huanhuan?â
Huo Chengming snorted coldly. âYou?â Then, he quickly opened the car door. âRoll in.â
Li Jinyuan sat in the back.
Huo Chengming immediately looked back, harshly saying, âIâve kissed Huanhuan. Have you?â
Li Jinyuanâs expression didnât change, but his heart sank a lot.
He moved his lips. âWell, of course, I have.â
He was obviously bluffing.
But Li Jinyuan wouldnât admit that.
Huo Chengmingâs expression changed, his voice suddenly rising. âYou have? When?â
Li Jinyuan lifted his gaze and looked at him with not quite a smile. âMany timesâ¦â Li Jinyuan paused, then said, âHuanhuanâs lips are soft.â
This was nonsense, but Huo Chengmingâs eyebrows sank, the hostility between them becoming stronger. He coldly stared at Li Jinyuan, both parties unable to hide how much they disliked one another.
Li Jinyuan gritted his teeth and said, âWhen kissing Huanhuan, her neck will become red, looking beautiful and lovely.â
This was, of course, all made up.
But he was still happy!
Even though it was fake, Li Jinyuan couldnât help but wonder if Huanhuan was really like that when Huo Chengming kissed her⦠Weakly curled up hands and feet, reddish neck, out of breath from kissingâ¦
Li Jinyuan forcefully shut his eyes, not daring to continue thinking in that direction.
If he did, he would be so jealous that his eyeballs would grow red.
Huo Chengming suddenly extended his hand and pushed a button.
The front and back seats were immediately separated. This way, neither side could hear the other.
Huo Chengming wanted to beat up Li Jinyuan, but Li Jinyuan was in his car and they were going to see Huanhuan. If Huanhuan sees Li Jinyuan full of injuries, and Li Jinyuan pretends to be pitiful and hurt, he could succeed in winning over Huanhuanâs pity.
Li Jinyuan watching the separation screen rise: ââ¦â
Well, this was great. He couldnât even vent his dissatisfaction and make up lies to anger Huo Chengming.
After an unknown period of time, Huo Chengming finally retracted the screen.
He coldly said, âYour action during your concert spooked Huanhuan. Sheâll be scared.â
Li Jinyuan asked, âThen have you told Huanhuan your feelings?â
Huo Chengmingâs eyelid twitched. âI have.â
âThen why canât I do it?â
âItâs obviously different. If one person does it, even if she doesnât make up her mind, she wouldnât be afraid. Once both of us do it, sheâll be forced to choose. She will be afraid,â Huo Chengming said as he frowned.
âWhat if Huanhuanâs so scared that she goes further and further away from both of us?â
Huo Chengming clenched the steering wheel. âIf there is such a day, then I wonât let her leave.â
Li Jinyuan calmly said, âAlthough the way you deal with things is very different from mine, and your intelligence is sometimes lagging compared to mine and Huanhuanâs, at least we are in agreement about this.â
Huan Chengming: ââ¦â
Neither bothered with bodyguards to pick her up.
No one would think that there were two very rich people in such an ugly car.
