Chapter 276

Li Jinyuan told her all about his work, without leaving anything out. This made Zhong Yuhuan feel like she couldn’t blame Li Jinyuan. Although the way that Li Jinyuan asked her was like an interrogation, he, himself, didn’t hide anything either. Practically the only things that he left out were when he woke up today, what he ate, and whether it tasted good or not.

The phone call lasted until the car returned to the company, and Li Jinyuan didn’t ask any more difficult questions. Slowly, Zhong Yuhuan let down her guard and without really noticing it, chatted with him for a long time.

When she realized she had been ignoring Huo Chengming the entire time, she turned her head to see Huo Chengming’s extremely discontented expression.

Probably because Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming had already exposed a bit of their intentions, Huo Chengming didn’t bother hiding his feelings, outrightly displaying his unhappiness.

Seeing him like that, Zhong Yuhuan suddenly felt a bit guilty.

After all, she was too preoccupied to even have a conversation with him just then.

“Okay, no more talking. I’m hanging up. You should also hurry and work, or else brother Wei will be very angry,” Zhong Yuhuan said, taking the initiative to pause their conversation.

On the other side, Li Jinyuan smiled, his voice as gentle as ever. “Is Huo Chengming unhappy?”

Zhong Yuhuan suddenly felt that there was a hint of aggression in Li Jinyuan’s words. However, it was just a bit, and only in that moment.

Li Jinyuan quickly followed up, “Okay, then I’ll hang up. I’ll call Huanhuan after I’m done with work.”

After the phone call ended, Huo Chengming wanted to speak, but Zhong Yuhuan’s phone rang again.

Zhong Yuhuan picked up. It was from Yang Sen’s sister.

“I’m really sorry about what happened during filming. It truly is the program staff’s fault, not being able to fully ensure the safety of guests. When you guys returned, I’ve been wanting to invite you out for a meal to apologize. However, Mr. Li and Mr. Huo have protected you too well, not allowing you to take a single step away… So I could only call you…”

Yang Sen’s sister said quite a lot, first apologizing, then expressing her wishes for Zhong Yuhuan to continue filming for the show.

The guests of the show signed different contracts.

Wen Yongchen and Gu Yuling signed as fixed guests, while the others, like Ge Mei and Li Jinyuan, signed temporary contracts that allowed them to leave at any time.

Remembering that Wen Yongchen would still be with the program group for the remaining episodes, Zhong Yuhuan didn’t want to continue doing the show.

She wasn’t afraid of people entangling with her; she would just avoid it if she could. If she were to still be on the show, she wouldn’t be able to contain her annoyance, and it would also infuriate Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming, who would not be afraid of showing their feelings. In comparison, Wen Yongchen had always been an outsider – an outsider who was not very pleasant as well…

With that, Zhong Yuhuan straightforwardly refused.

Yang Sen’s sister felt unfortunate but didn’t continue to ask her.

She had Zhong Yuhuan’s clear and concise answer, so what else could she say? If she kept pressing, it would make them enemies. Her younger brother still wanted to play with Zhong Yuhuan later.

After hanging up, Zhong Yuhuan thought that there shouldn’t be anyone else calling.

As she thought that, she turned her head to look at Huo Chengming. Huo Chengming was also looking at her and was a bit caught off guard when she suddenly glanced back.

But Zhong Yuhuan just sat there and spaced out for a few seconds.

Huo Chengming’s eyes were so dark that she couldn’t see past it. Staring at her, his eyes seemed to be filled with some deep emotion.

At that moment, Zhong Yuhuan had the illusion of being watched by a beast.

“Brother Chengming,” Zhong Yuhuan hesitated, then still said something to try to please him.

The displeasure on Huo Chengming’s face quickly faded away, and he leaned over to help Zhong Yuhuan unfasten her seatbelt. “Let’s get off.”

Zhong Yuhuan let out a breath of relief but still felt a bit worried.

Now, he barely held his ground against her. Didn’t this indicate that he liked her?

Zhong Yuhuan buried this concern inside her heart without expressing it. She followed Huo Chengming up the building. Zhong Yuhuan finally felt relieved when she saw Huo Chengming return to his desk and focus on his work like usual.
