Just as Ma Haodong was thinking of backing out of the vehicle, Xu Xiyan squeezed in after him and said apologetically, “Sorry, Uncle, my friend’s car broke down. Can he hitch a ride with us?”

Ma Haodong: “…”

He was now seriously contemplating biting off his tongue and offing himself. He deeply regretted lying about his car.

Ma Haodong was in fact overthinking it. Huo Yunshen was nowhere near as terrifying as he imagined him to be.

The real Huo Yunshen was easy to get along with. He was friendly to everyone, so long as they didn’t try to provoke him or test his patience.

He considered a friend of Xu Xiyan’s to be a friend of his.

The forbidding look in Huo Yunshen’s eyes disappeared. He smiled pleasantly as he nonchalantly welcomed Ma Haodong into the RV: “Please, have a seat.”

“…”

Ma Haodong was stunned and flattered at the same time. He remained standing with a star-struck expression on his face; Xu Xiyan had to tap him on the shoulder and lead him over to the sofa to sit down.

The RV was now cruising down the road, but Ma Haodong was still nervous and uneasy. He could not relax. He did not know how to chat with the formidable man before him.

He exchanged a few words with Jing Xi, but spent most of the time listening to Jing Xi chat with Huo Yunshen.

He had seen the way Jing Xi and Huo Yunshen looked at each other, and was now 100% certain that they were in love.

Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen talked about the scenes she had shot for “Root of Evil” earlier that day. She’d had to fight against Ma Haodong—for real—in all of them.

Huo Yunshen was worried that Xu Xiyan would be injured during a fight scene. He looked at Ma Haodong and said, “Mr. Ma, please try to go easy on Jing Xi in the remaining fight scenes. I would be grateful if you would do your best to make sure she’s all right.”

Xu Xiyan’s heart warmed all over when she heard Huo Yunshen try to look out for her.

Ma Haodong nodded. “Yes, of course. You can count on me!”

Jing Xi’s kicks and punches had been on point in every scene so far. Most of the time, Ma Haodong had been the one getting pummeled.

Ma Haodong gave an embarra.s.sed smile. He mustered the courage to ask, “By the way, President Huo—are you really Ni Yun? Did you compose all those pop songs that are all the rage these days?”
