Chapter 272

She didn’t want to show any hint of space between them for Wen Yongchen to wedge himself through.

Wen Yongchen felt like a bucket of cold water had been suddenly dumped over his head.

He realized that in Zhong Yuhuan’s heart, he was probably not even a tenth of Li Jinyuan.

If Zhong Yuhuan knew his thoughts, she would tell him that he wasn’t even a hundredth.

He thought too highly of himself.

After leaving the teahouse, Huo Chengming spoke first. “Wen Yongchen isn’t a good candidate. I’ve told you before.”

Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but nod her head. “Isn’t it because he was still pretending before…”

At that point, Zhong Yuhuan suddenly changed the topic. “How did you know I was here?”

Huo Chengming tightened his grip on her hand.

Zhong Yuhuan turned to stare at him.

Li Jinyuan first exposed himself, and then Wen Yongchen explained the situation clearly to her. Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t pretend to not see it even if she wanted to.

Since she couldn’t pretend she decided to face it head-on.

Huo Chengming’s pitch suddenly dropped, becoming deeper. “I have people keeping their eyes on Wen Yongchen. As soon as he headed in this direction, I knew what was going on.”

“Were you very angry then?” Zhong Yuhuan said as she opened the car door.

Huo Chengming pursed his lips. “His words were too arrogant, not putting you in his eyes at all.” Didn’t put me in his eyes either, like I, Huo Chengming, was dead, Huo Chengming coldly thought, his mouth pressing into a line.

“… It would’ve been better to leave him in Turkey,” Huo Chengming said.

But after saying that, Huo Chengming was afraid that Zhong Yuhuan would be angry, so he hurriedly turned to look at her.

Only after confirming that Zhong Yuhuan’s expression was calm and devoid of abnormality did Huo Chengming let out a sigh of relief. Although he was almost exposed in Turkey, he was still not prepared to completely show his other side to Zhong Yuhuan yet.

He didn’t want to leave any bad impression in her heart.

Zhong Yuhuan sighed. “This is very troublesome…”

Huo Chengming didn’t speak.

He hadn’t done anything in the dark before mostly because he was afraid that Zhong Yuhuan would be unhappy.

But today, he realized that Zhong Yuhuan didn’t care about this person at all…

Huo Chengming restrained the murderous light in his eyes.

There were too many ways he could deal with this. Zhong Yuhuan wouldn’t even know and it wouldn’t bother her at all.

Huo Chengming was suddenly quiet, so Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but glance over at him.

Ever since childhood, Zhong Yuhuan had to admit that Huo Chengming’s appearance was quite excellent, completely worthy of his villain role.

But when Huo Chengming didn’t speak, he wasn’t like the sullen, introverted boy from before anymore. Now, he had a dignified aura surrounding him.
