Chapter 247

When Zhong Yuhuan woke up, the first person she saw wasn’t Huo Chengming or Li Jinyuan, but Wen Yongchen.

“Yuhuan, you’re awake?” Wen Yongchen smiled warmly at her.

Zhong Yuhuan was stunned for a second, thinking that she was dreaming. Although she had known that she would separate from Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming someday and live by herself… But when she truly opened her eyes and saw a slightly unfamiliar face in front of her, Zhong Yuhuan suddenly felt very out of her element.

“Mhm.” Zhong Yuhuan silently nodded her head, her attitude a bit cold.

But Wen Yongchen didn’t seem to notice this and only assumed that she got up on the wrong side of the bed. Smilingly, he said, “I wanted to see you. Did you have a good rest? We can return today.”

Zhong Yuhuan slowly sat up, slightly frowning. “How did Mr. Wen come in?”

Wen Yongchen paused. “I just finished breakfast and I thought that you haven’t eaten yet, so I wanted to call you.”

This was obviously a bit evasive.

Zhong Yuhuan remembered Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming’s attitudes and guessed that they had obstructed Wen Yongchen before. Now that the two weren’t there, it seemed Wen Yongchen had seized the opportunity.

So Zhong Yuhuan didn’t continue asking and nodded. “… Ah.”

Wen Yongchen pointed at the nightstand. “I brought breakfast.”

Zhong Yuhuan: “Oh.”

Zhong Yuhuan felt like she was being a bit weird.

He was clearly being kind towards her, but she didn’t feel touched or happy at all. Her reaction was particularly calm… so calm that no trace of happiness could be felt.

Maybe it’s because Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan were too good to her before? So she was already accustomed to this type of treatment?

Zhong Yuhuan pursed her lips.

Wen Yongchen was observing her expression and looking at how calm she was. Wen Yongchen suddenly didn’t feel quite so confident.

“Yuhuan…”

Wen Yongchen had just opened his mouth.

The next instant, the noise of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded and a couple of well-built white bodyguards entered with guns.

Wen Yongchen was harshly pinned to the ground.

Huo Chengming entered with a black face, his face full of anger.

Going past the threshold, he sneered, not concealing the aura around him at all. “Wen Yongchen!”

At that moment, he was extremely aggressive.

Wen Yongchen didn’t think that these bodyguards would act the moment they’re told, without any hesitation. When he came back to his senses, his whole body was pressed to the ground. Although the floor was carpeted and not abrasive, the way he was thrown to the ground was enough to make Wen Yongchen feel embarrassed and angry.

“Mr. Huo!“ Wen Yongchen’s voice seemed to have been squeezed out from his throat. He suppressed his anger and said, “Please have them let me go, Mr. Huo!”

Huo Chengming’s voice became icy. “What did you do to Huanhuan?”

Wen Yongchen clenched his teeth, originally not wanting to answer Huo Chengming’s question. He felt Huo Chengming’s anger, but he was also angry. What type of older brother is Huo Chengming? Not having a sense of propriety! Obstructing his younger sister’s love in every way possible!

But Wen Yongchen’s thoughts changed. Wouldn’t confessing now be more sincere?

So Wen Yongchen gritted his teeth and said, “I regard Huanhuan as someone I like and adore.”

When Huo Chengming heard that, he became more furious.

Huanhuan?

Is that something you can call?

So far, the only ones who haven’t been beaten to death for calling her that, other than females, would only be Huanhuan’s family members.

What does Wen Yongchen count as?!

Huo Chengming’s face was stormy as he coldly looked at Wen Yongchen. “Like and adore? So you broke into Huanhuan’s bedroom? And deliberately doing so when the bodyguards were switching posts? Is this something you, Wen Yongchen, normally learn? How to take advantage of opportunities to break in?”

Wen Yongchen also sneered. “We’re still recording now. Since we’re both guests, is it wrong of me to bring Huanhuan breakfast?” He was first warned by Li Jinyuan, and now Huo Chengming didn’t leave him any face. So, Wen Yongchen would also stop giving them face, not wanting to fawn upon them anymore. Especially since he could see, extremely clearly, that it was useless to please them.

Wen Yongchen suddenly became more serious. “I had wanted to say this the last time you and Li Jinyuan confronted me. Yuhuan is an independent person, not someone’s belonging! It’s not wrong that you two are her family, but you can’t use your identity to bind her with familial love! Not even giving her the freedom to date freely! Doesn’t Mr. Huo feel embarrassed?”

Huo Chengming suddenly felt a guilty conscience for a moment.

Of course, he knew that his obstruction was unfair towards Zhong Yuhuan.

But so what?

Huo Chengming gritted his teeth as he thought.

I’m the one who lived with her for so many years. We once depended on each other for survival… So what if it’s a dirty play to denounce him?

But Huo Chengming didn’t dare to say it outright.

It didn’t matter if it was in front of Wen Yongchen, but he couldn’t say this in front of Zhong Yuhuan.
