Chapter 123 - 123: Is He Your Type?

The elevator went straight to the underground parking lot.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a young man’s complaints could be heard coming from the inside.

“There’s already a blackout. Why are we still having a meeting? How annoying…”

The young man who spoke was dressed fashionably and looked unfamiliar.

He was probably a new celebrity that was recently signed by the company.

The young man turned his head and met Lin Shanchu’s gaze. His eyes lit up.

“Lin Shanchu!”

His gaze was fixed on Lin Shanchu.

When Lin Shanchu was unhappy, the corners of her eyes would droop slightly, revealing an unhappy expression.

The young man didn’t seem to notice Lin Shanchu’s unhappiness as he continued to stare at her.

“President Lin!” he called out with a smile.

However, the manager beside him was more perceptive.

“President Lin, this is the company’s newly signed celebrity, Zong Pei.”

Zong Pei!

Was that the Zong Pei mentioned in the hint?

Lin Shanchu sized up Zong Pei.

Zong Pei was pretty good-looking.

He was as handsome as the former top celebrity of the company, Fu Jue. Other than his manager, Zong Pei also brought two assistants with him.

How could a newly-signed celebrity receive such good treatment?

Moreover, Lin Shanchu had never heard of Zong Pei’s name before.

The Lu Corporation was not a charity.

There was only one reason why they gave this kind of treatment to new celebrities who were not famous.

That would only happen if they planned to nurture Zong Pei to become the next Fu Jue.

Lin Shanchu curled her lips and called out his name. “Zong Pei, you’re taking the idol route, right?”

Zong Pei stared at Lin Shanchu. “Yes.”

“You’re so good-looking. There must be a lot of girls who like you, right?” Lin

Shanchu asked with a smile.

Li MO snuck a look at Huo Xunzhou’s expression.

Huo Xunzhou was wearing his cap and mask firmly, so Li MO couldn’t see his face at all.

Zong Pei was so flattered by Lin Shanchu’s words to the point that his ego grew tremendously.

“It’s all right, but I’ll definitely focus on my career. I won’t date anyone at all. I won’t let you do, President Lin!”

Li MO glanced at Zong Pei expressionlessly.

He looked so tired and weak, not to mention he seemed to have bad hearing.

Did Ms. Lin ever say that she had any expectations for him?

“Good luck,” Lin Shanchu said softly and turned to leave the elevator.

Zong Pei looked at Lin Shanchu’s back as he walked away, he couldn’t bear to look away.

“President Lin seems to admire me a lot,” he said with a devilish smile as he stroked his chin.

The manager didn’t hesitate to burst his bubble. “It’s useless for President Lin to admire you. President Lu has to be the one to admire you.”

“You’re so annoying.” Zong Pei’s face fell when he heard that.

Just the thought of Lin Shanchu talking to him with a smile on his face made his heart yearn for more.

If only Lin Shanchu wasn’t Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée.

Otherwise, he could still lure her into his embrace and toy with her feelings.

Lin Shanchu and the others walked to the car.

Out of habit, Li MO went to help Huo Xunzhou open the backseat door.

But Huo Xunzhou was faster than him.

Huo Xunzhou opened the car door and looked at Lin Shanchu expressionlessly, gesturing for her to get in.

His actions were very considerate.

But his expression was scary.

It was as if Lin Shanchu owed him a lot of money.

After getting into the car, Huo Xunzhou pulled down his cap to cover his face. He looked like he didn’t want to talk to anyone.

Previously on the rooftop, he still had a determined look on his face while refusing to let her go.

Now, he was ignoring her.

Ha!

Men!

Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window.

She was thinking about what to do next.

She wouldn’t die.

Life had to go on.

Since she could not kill Lu Shiyuan directly, she would start with the people around him.

If the system’s hint was true and effective, then Fu Jue’s today would be Zong Pei’s future.

However, an entertainment company that had lost its ability to create stars had no future.

“Is he your type?”

Huo Xunzhou’s sudden question pulled Lin Shanchu back to reality.

Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before finally reacting. “Are you talking about Zong Pei?”

Huo Xunzhou snorted coldly.

It turned out that he was ignoring her because of this…

She was just testing Zong Pei.

“Zong Pei isn’t even as good-looking as Li Mo.” Lin Shanchu blinked.

Even though he was a fearsome man, Li MO still felt a little shy after being praised. “Really?”

“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu nodded seriously.

Li MO was happy.

Huo Xunzhou pulled his cap even lower.

Li MO drove all the way back to Huo Xunzhou’s house.

Huo Xunzhou had gone straight to the Lu Corporation after returning from the airport earlier.

His bodyguard was the one who delivered the luggage home. It was still sitting in the garage.

Li MO went to the garage to grab Huo Xunzhou’s luggage.

Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu walked into the villa one after the other.

As they walked, Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Xunzhou, who was walking in front of her, was now walking beside her.

He held the cap and mask that he had just taken off in his hands. His expression was cold, but his footsteps were very slow. It was obvious that he did it to match her pace.

Lin Shanchu lowered her head and smiled.

When she looked up again, she asked him seriously, “Where did you go for your business trip?”

“In the mountains.”

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

This answer was somewhat perfunctory.

Lin Shanchu decided to change the topic.

“Didn’t you say that you would bring me a gift? Where’s the gift?”

“In the car.”

Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened.

He really brought her something!

Huo Xunzhou stopped, his eyes unusually serious. “You don’t believe me?” When his alluring eyes were focused on a person, he always seemed unusually affectionate.

Who could withstand this look?

“I’m so hungry.” Lin Shanchu averted her eyes.

“It’s late now. It’s already too late to cook. I suppose noodles are the only thing I can eat at this hour…” Lin Shanchu continued talking to herself as she walked into the villa.

Huo Xunzhou stood there for a moment before slowly following her.

When Li MO came back with the luggage, Nan Mu could be seen following behind him.

“Is Lin Shanchu cooking?” Nan Mu sniffed loudly and ran inside. “It smells so good!”

Li MO was also starving.

But he had to put Huo Xunzhou’s luggage upstairs first.

In the kitchen.

Lin Shanchu was stirfrying beef while Huo Xunzhou was washing some vegetables.

The two of them stood with their backs to each other. They did not look at each other or communicate.

However, the atmosphere was unbelievably cozy.

Nan Mu ran all the way to the kitchen door and saw this scene.

It was so cozy that he didn’t want to disturb them out of embarrassment.

When Li MO came over, Nan Mu made a shushing gesture at him.

He whispered to him, “Look at them..

Li MO looked at it for a while and seemed to understand something. “This should be the daily life of Big Brother and Sister-in-law after marriage.”

Nan Mu was unhappy. “That won’t do. The company’s lucky charm can’t get married this early.”

He was still waiting for Lin Shanchu to become famous!

“What’s wrong with getting married?” Li MO was also unhappy. “Is my big brother more important or is the lucky charm more important?”

The two of them started arguing.

“Get out if you want to argue!”

Huo Xunzhou’s words silenced Li MO and Nan Mu.

Although he was still holding a spatula in his hand, it did not affect his intimidating aura at all.

“Let’s not argue anymore….” Nan Mu rubbed his belly and said weakly, “I haven’t eaten yet either…”
