Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 289

Although Huo Chengming seemed to be caring about him on the surface, Huo Chengming just wanted to make sure Huanhuan’s care towards him disappeared. Once Huanhuan felt assured that he was fine, she naturally wouldn’t continue to inquire about his well-being.

“Huanhuan, sleep earlier. I’ll bring him to his room.” Huo Chengming looked at Zhong Yuhuan, his expression becoming significantly warmer.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded and yawned. She turned around and went inside her room.

Li Jinyuan stared at her back for a while and suddenly had an impulse to ask what he asked her before again.

Huanhuan, if I really leave you, will you grieve?

How much do you really like me?

Even if it’s just a little bit, do you really?

When he was trying to trick Zhong Yuhuan, Li Jinyuan was able to express what was on his mind clearly. But at such a time, he couldn’t say anything, out of fear that he would receive a disappointing answer.

Li Jinyuan turned around with the tray, shooting Huo Chengming a fake smile. “I wonder if brother Huo’s family will come looking for you?”

Huo Chengming lifted an eyebrow. “They’re all dead.”

Li Jinyuan: “…”

I’ve lost.

Oh shit.

Li Jinyuan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Compared to whether or not Zhong Yuhuan would be sad if he left, he was more afraid that if his step was too big, then Zhong Yuhuan would only have Huo Chengming by her side. Huo Chengming would be justified in openly monopolizing Huanhuan and they would end up relying on each other for the rest of their lives.

Li Jinyuan returned to his own room and put down the food in his hands. Then, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt, taking it off.

Huanhuan’s words are correct. No one has come to find me for so many years, but someone comes to find me now?

The light in Li Jinyuan’s eyes was slightly cold.

Who cares?

After the filming of the first episode wrapped up, many of the other guests were still a bit reluctant.

After all, Zhong Yuhuan and Huo Chengming were both super investors, emitting the fragrance of money and having the shine of gold on their bodies. Who wouldn’t want to say a few more words to them and connect with them?

But no matter how reluctant they were, everyone still left the filming site, returning to Haishi.

Li Jinyuan told Wei Jie to push off all of his engagements.

When Wei Jie received the call, he was silent for a moment.

Li Jinyuan had always been very perceptive and noticed when the atmosphere was off, so he took the initiative to ask, “What is it, brother Wei?”

Wei Jie was rarely this stern. “Mr. Li, I find myself unable to understand your thoughts as well as before. Just what do you plan to do…”

Li Jinyuan’s tone was still light. “Don’t you already know in your heart? I’m doing what you think I should do.”

Wei Jie opened his mouth and in the end, he could only dully say, “… Mr. Li, don’t mess around.”

“From deciding to come back to taking part in that show… to now, where none of my decisions are me messing around.”

Wei Jie shut his mouth.

No one was clearer about this than him.

Although Li Jinyuan was young, he would never go down the wrong path. He never slacked off on his work either. Before, Wei Jie would feel sorry for this young man, having to bear so much. Unlike other young celebrities, he had never lost control of his emotions. And it was because of this that now…

Wei Jie sighed.

This gamble was a large one.

“I won’t try to persuade you. I just hope that if you have to make an even more important decision in the future and announce it to all of society and all of your fans, you can tell me in advance.”

“… Okay.”

After Li Jinyuan and Wei Jie finished planning, Li Jinyuan followed Zhong Yuhuan back to their villa. They rested there for a night. The next day, Huo Chengming went to work as normal, but Zhong Yuhuan went with Li Jinyuan to the cafe they had agreed on by car.

At the cafe, Zhong Yuhuan saw the assistant of Li Jinyuan’s biological father.

The assistant seemed to be around secretary Cheng’s age, and he looked serious. He didn’t dare to slight Zhong Yuhuan, so when he saw them, he respectfully greeted Zhong Yuhuan.

“Miss Zhong, hello. My surname is Dong. You can just call me little Dong. I suspect that Mr. Li, who has the same name that my boss, director Li, gave to his son, is the actual offspring of my employer.”

Zhong Yuhuan looked around. “Then where is director Li?”

“It’s not convenient for director Li to come here, but we’ve already gotten his DNA. We just need Mr. Li’s DNA.”

Zhong Yuhuan was extremely unhappy.

She put down the satchel in her hands and sat down, lightly saying, “If director Li doesn’t personally come, then apologies, I won’t agree to handing over Li Jinyuan’s DNA.”

Assistant Dong showed a stunned expression. “Why?”

Zhong Yuhuan unhappily knocked on the table. “Why? Because right now, I have the final say in regards to Li Jinyuan’s affairs.”

Assistant Dong choked and was about to say something.

Zhong Yuhuan raised an eyebrow, coldly looking at him. “What? You don’t like it? Too bad then that it was me who brought this person out of the orphanage and not director Li.”

Li Jinyuan slightly curved his eyes, still staying silent.

But waves rose in his heart.

She was always like this. No matter how weak or delicate she was, she would always try her best to give them warmth.

She had never been stingy with giving them her kindness.

Who could dislike this kind of Huanhuan?

Assistant Dong was rendered completely speechless, so he could only look towards Li Jinyuan.

Li Jinyuan happily sat down next to Zhong Yuhuan with a smile, saying, “Mhm, she’s correct. I listen to her for everything.”

Assistant Dong: “…”
