Phoebe.
The goddess of light in Greek mythology.
Is Huo Chengming this impassioned?! On! The! Inside!
He praised her so much in front of others!
Zhong Yuhuan even felt her face warm up a tiny bit.
But Zhong Yuhuan’s face didn’t reveal her emotions. She smilingly asked, “Which car are we going in?”

The foreigner turned and called a few white youths over, tasking them to help the others get in the cars. Some people also quickly came down from the large trucks. Their clothes differed from one another but their weapons were clearly uniform.
The program group got in the cars in a daze.
Wen Yongchen was sandwiched between his assistant and his bodyguard as a white youth led them to a car. However, Wen Yongchen suddenly turned back after walking about halfway, arriving in front of Zhong Yuhuan in a few steps.
Wen Yongchen deliberately ignored Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming, who were off to the side, and smiled straight at Zhong Yuhuan, asking, “Are we not going together?”
When he spoke, Wen Yongchen’s heart was beating loudly.
Zhong Yuhuan: “Okay…”
She only said one word before Huo Chengming interrupted, “You’re in this car.” Huo Chengming pushed her in the direction of that off-road vehicle.
The foreigner instinctively extended his hand, wanting to help Zhong Yuhuan, but when his finger was about to touch her, he suddenly retracted it and looked extremely nervous.
“Miss Zhong, this way please,” the foreigner said respectfully. Now, he didn’t dare to show even a bit of the teasing tone from before.
He’s scared of Huo Chengming?
Zhong Yuhuan could only think of this reason.
Zhong Yuhuan turned to look at Wen Yongchen.
At the same time, Li Jinyuan clasped Wen Yongchen’s shoulders, pushing him in the opposite direction. “… Huanhuan will not let Mr. Wen worry.”
Li Jinyuan’s words were warm but his expression was cold, even unfriendly, and his resistance was moderately obvious.
Wen Yongchen also felt a bit annoyed.
He twisted his head to look at Li Jinyuan and met Li Jinyuan’s gaze. Li Jinyuan was also looking at him. Their eyes met and Wen Yongchen immediately saw the coldness hidden in Li Jinyuan’s eyes.
Wen Yongchen was startled. “… What does Mr. Li mean by this?”
Looking at how Li Jinyuan led Wen Yongchen further away, Zhong Yuhuan helplessly sighed. “Okay then, I’ll get in this car.”
Huo Chengming had a smile on his face.
What is there to be happy about?
Zhong Yuhuan was confused.
After Zhong Yuhuan boarded the all-terrain vehicle, the foreigner returned to Huo Chengming’s side and started quietly discussing with him. Since there was a certain distance between them, Zhong Yuhuan evidently couldn’t hear what they were talking about.
Zhong Yuhuan turned to look at Li Jinyuan, who was still talking with Wen Yongchen with their backs turned towards her. Not to mention that she couldn’t hear them clearly, it would be impossible to lipread.
Zhong Yuhuan could only give up and look around the car instead.
The Zhong family had considerable wealth and to ensure the safety of the heir, Zhong Yuhuan, her car was equipped with bullet-proof glass. When she was studying in the UK, she sometimes went out to play with Chen Mingye, so Zhong Yuhuan was no stranger to this type of foreign military equipment.
The equipment in the car was commonly used by private armed forces, mercenaries, and the like.
She looked towards the front.
The driver was a black youth who said nothing.
The car was extremely quiet.
Zhong Yuhuan let out a breath.
Where are Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming? Are they getting in the car later?
Li Jinyuan was still talking with Wen Yongchen.
He knew that Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t see them from this angle, so the words that were rolling around in his chest for a long time were finally being released uncontrollably.
Li Jinyuan smiled and said, “I have heard people say that Mr. Wen is one of the rare smart people in the circle, who advances and retreats appropriately. Mr. Wen clearly understands my meaning.”
Wen Yongchen became angrier. He turned to look at Li Jinyuan and met his ice-cold gaze again. This time, the hostility and disgust in Li Jinyuan’s eyes were even more obvious.
Outside of the camera’s view, Li Jinyuan was not so polite and well-mannered.
Li Jinyuan completely couldn’t control his aversion towards Wen Yongchen.
Wen Yongchen was also angry.
“Why does Mr. Li find me unpleasant? Is it because I want to pursue Yuhuan?” Wen Yongchen asked angrily.
“What did you call her?” Li Jinyuan grabbed his shoulder, his hand squeezing hard.
It was Wen Yongchen’s first time seeing him like this. He felt a pain in his shoulder and he almost stopped breathing.
“Li Jinyuan…” Wen Yongchen cried out in pain.
“I don’t only practice fencing,” Li Jinyuan lightly said.
Wen Yongchen was really furious now.
He suddenly thought of his conjecture…
Wen Yongchen couldn’t help but sneer. “Mr. Li and Boss Huo both have such strong hostility towards me because I want to pursue Yuhuan. Why is that? Out of brotherly love?”
Li Jinyuan’s expression turned cold. “Huanhuan is the darling daughter of the Zhong family, born and raised there. She is the jewel cupped in the hands of countless people. What could Mr. Wen count as? How can you be worthy of her?”
Wen Yongchen clenched his teeth, thinking, What could I count as? My reputation in the entertainment circle has always been good; everyone respects me. I am famous and rich. I also have a good acting reputation and countless fans… How am I unworthy?
Wen Yongchen coldly said, “Then do Mr. Li and Boss Huo mean that I’m not worthy? Then who is worthy? You?”
Li Jinyuan’s face changed and his normally gentlemanly expression completely disappeared from his face.
