Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 245

Chapter 245

Li Jinyuan quickly reconnected with the embassy. At that time, everyone related to the program had already eaten. They ate their fill in a Byzantine-style villa, surrounded by foreign mercenaries carrying live ammunition.

So everyone put their worries and panic aside and felt, for the first time, that it was a beautiful thing to simply sit and eat a meal without worries.

And this result was mostly due to Mr. Huo.

The program staff didn’t say anything and didn’t dare to act like Yin Qiqi to please Huo Chengming with so many people around them. Since Zhong Yuhuan was here, there was no doubt that Mr. Huo and Li Jinyuan would be centered on her. If someone were to join them, they may not only displease them, but would definitely annoy them.

After eating, Huo Chengming brought Zhong Yuhuan upstairs to rest.

The director called everyone together to discuss rescheduling the filming due to the show’s tight schedule. An episode had been recorded in advance already, however, they were worried that the fifth episode would be delayed since this episode yielded nothing.

The key problem was about this episode…

“It’s too late to change the shooting location… How about we just continue recording until we have enough material? We recorded quite a lot before this happened and it would be a pity to just discard it,” the director said as he looked at Li Jinyuan.

Everyone was stuck here for the time being and couldn’t return to China immediately. Even if the other guests didn’t want to cooperate, they would still have to. The only exceptions were Zhong Yuhuan and Li Jinyuan because they were currently in their territory. So wouldn’t it all depend on Li Jinyuan, no, Miss Zhong, in the end?

The director believed that as long as Miss Zhong agreed, everything would be simple and Mr. Huo would naturally also go on to agree with her.

Under the director’s eager gaze, Li Jinyuan slightly tapped his index finger against the table, as if he was thinking. Then, the director saw him frown slightly and said, “We’re not recording.”

The director felt like a bolt of lightning had split him in half.

He felt much more tormented by this than when he had hid in the church.

“… Mr. Li, not recording? You’re not going to record?”

“Huanhuan and I aren’t going to record. As for brother Huo… you guys go ahead and ask him,” Li Jinyuan said.

“Miss Zhong said that she’s not recording?” the director tentatively asked.

Li Jinyuan opened his eyes and from his warm-looking eyes, a cold light shot out. “Ever since the recording of the show, nothing pleasant has occurred…”

Of course, it was a bit wrong to say this.

After all, Li Jinyuan first came on the show for one reason: to be together with Zhong Yuhuan… The content, payment, and popularity of the show all became secondary. In every episode, Li Jinyuan was actually truly happy.

But now… he doesn’t want any more accidents to occur.

It was alright for him but not for Zhong Yuhuan.

And plus…

Li Jinyuan’s gaze slightly moved, secretly shooting a glance at Wen Yongchen.

He didn’t know if Wen Yongchen really liked Huanhuan or if it was an actor’s urge to show off and express himself under the camera. If he kept getting close to Huanhuan, Li Jinyuan felt like there would come a day when he just couldn’t control himself and get into a fight with Wen Yongchen under the camera.

But at this time, Wen Yongchen suddenly interrupted, “Is this Miss Zhong’s intention? Has Mr. Li asked Miss Zhong for her wish?”

Li Jinyuan’s drooped gaze turned even colder.

…

On the other side.

Zhong Yuhuan went upstairs and entered a bedroom.

Huo Chengming: “The bathroom has a change of clothes and clean toiletries. Take a nap?”

The reason that the phone call before lasted so long was not because of troublesome communication. Rather, it was because he was using Turkish to explain to the other party what type of clothing, toiletries, and even what kind of dishes to prepare… Talking about so many things would take up five or six minutes.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.

There was a translucent bed curtain around the bed. Sitting there, Zhong Yuhuan didn’t look embarrassed at all and she instead seemed more beautiful because of her exhaustion.

Huo Chengming looked at her, then turned to go out.

But Zhong Yuhuan called out to stop him, “Brother Chengming.”

Huo Chengming paused, then turned.

Zhong Yuhuan tilted her head towards him and patted the bed.

Huo Chengming’s eyelid twitched heavily and his throat suddenly became dry and hot, as if it were blocked. The surrounding noises faded away and he could only hear the throbbing of his heart.

… What does she mean?
