Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 248
Chapter 248
Huo Chengming’s eyes flashed. “If it’s an outstanding man, Jin Linyuan and I would naturally not block him. But are you?”
Wen Yongchen felt blood choke his throat.
Is he not outstanding enough? He had received the title of “Best Actor,” filmed blockbusters, gone on variety shows with consistent high ratings and had seas of fans.
He’s not outstanding?
Wen Yongchen couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart. “It just so happens that I had a talk with Li Jinyuan yesterday, and today, I am having the same with Mr. Huo. I am not an outstanding person. I’m not good enough for Yuhuan. Then who is? Is it Mr. Huo yourself, or him, Li Jinyuan?”
There was a click.
Huo Chengming whipped out a handgun from his waist.
Wen Yongchen suddenly felt cold sweat run down his back.
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned and blurted out, “Brother Chengming, don’t!”
But Huo Chengming became angrier when he heard that.
He couldn’t grasp Yuhuan’s thoughts. Was she really pleading for Wen Yongchen…
Huo Chengming’s gaze suddenly became icy, as he held the gun against Wen Yongchen’s head.
He was afraid to hear Zhong Yuhuan sincerely plead for someone else.
And afraid that Wen Yongchen’s words would rouse Zhong Yuhuan’s suspicions.
Huo Chengming originally felt a bit guilty, because he had some unspeakable thoughts yesterday and Wen Yongchen exposed them today.
But as he was feeling guilty, his adrenaline rushed up again.
His heart pounded.
He gripped the handgun, hoping, just in that instant, that Zhong Yuhuan would suspect… suspect his feelings.
What would happen if she knew his thoughts?
The unknown outcome filled Huo Chengming with longing and expectation, but he was also cautious.
Zhong Yuhuan’s expression had already changed.
She didn’t notice what Wen Yongchen said at all. She was staring at Huo Chengming and seeing his gloomy expression, she knew that he was really enraged. The way he held the gun seemed like he really wanted to shoot Wen Yongchen.
Without even thinking about it, she walked over to Huo Chengming and grabbed his wrist.
Huo Chengming instinctively relaxed his fingers.
Zhong Yuhuan was startled. She didn’t expect Huo Chengming to let go so quickly.
Based on his temper, she thought that he would persist for a while.
Zhong Yuhuan easily took the gun from his hand.
When Huo Chengming felt the emptiness on his palm, he unthinkingly grabbed Zhong Yuhuan’s hand, only realizing what he had done when he noticed a soft and smooth touch on his palm.
But her hands just felt too good.
Once he had her in his hands, he couldn’t bear to let go.
Zhong Yuhuan ordered the bodyguards to the side, “Let him go.”
The bodyguards looked at each other, then to Huo Chengming. Huo Chengming didn’t look at them, but they received his tacit agreement, so they let go.
Wen Yongchen felt ashamed again, simultaneously thinking that Zhong Yuhuan’s actions meant that she still had some feelings for him.
He quickly got up, dusting off his clothes. “Mr. Huo, you are Yuhuan’s elder brother… After all, you are in front of Yuhuan.” The gun caught Wen Yongchen’s gaze. “We are still recording. Mr. Huo shouldn’t make it difficult for Yuhuan.”
Zhong Yuhuan instinctively felt uncomfortable when she heard those words.
There was nothing off about Wen Yongchen’s words on the surface, but why did she feel like he was using her to ask Huo Chengming to shut up?
This isn’t good.
“Is Mr. Wen still not leaving?” Zhong Yuhuan lightly smiled.
Wen Yongchen was stunned by her smile. “Mhm, see you later.”
Zhong Yuhuan was not in the mood to see him later at all, so she just gave a perfunctory sound of agreement.
After Wen Yongchen left, Zhong Yuhuan turned to look at Huo Chengming. His expression was still gloomy and the hands holding her tightened a bit.
Zhong Yuhuan blinked at him.
The anger in Huo Chengming’s chest was immediately swept away.
Zhong Yuhuan saw that he was unhappy, and said, “Does brother Chengming often praise me in front of others?”
Huo Chengming remembered the word Cobb had used and froze like a statue.
Zhong Yuhuan said the word “Phoebe.”
Then she smiled. “I hope brother Chengming praises me more in the future.” The smile at the corner of her mouth became deeper. Then, she stretched out her pinkie to scratch Huo Chengming’s palm.
Huo Chengming felt an explosion as if a large fire ignited him.
His gaze was slightly dazed, and looking at Zhong Yuhuan, who was beaming like a flower in front of him, he blurted out, “Okay.”
“Knock knock knock—”
The sound of someone knocking on the door appeared.
Huo Chengming quickly composed himself and looked over with Zhong Yuhuan.
Li Jinyuan was standing there and gently smiled, but his eyes showed a bit of darkness. “What are you two busy whispering about and not letting me in?”
The moment Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan’s gazes met, they both pulled long faces, as if they fed each other a large lemon.
And at this time, Wen Yongchen held his shoulders as he gasped for breath at the corner of the stairs.
Li Jinyuan’s expression was cold as he went up, almost crushing Wen Yongchen’s shoulder blades when they crossed paths.
