Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Chapter 263

Li Jinyuan’s voice suddenly sounded again as he asked, “What’s Huanhuan doing right now?”

“I’m at Huo Chengming’s company.”

Li Jinyuan choked, his face showing a subtle change. However, that change was quickly covered up and he chuckled. “Oh, is it because it’s too boring being with Huo Chengming? So you would call me?”

Zhong Yuhuan widened her eyes.

How was she supposed to reply?

If she said yes, wouldn’t it offend both of them?! It would mean that Huo Chengming was boring and that she would only think of Li Jinyuan when she’s bored.

“Of course not.”

“Oh, then Huanhuan specially called me.” Li Jinyuan slightly lowered his head and squeezed the phone tightly. He lowered his voice even more as if he wanted to pour everything solely into the person on the other side. “I’m dying of happiness.”

After he lowered his voice tactfully, it brought a magnetic feeling that was delivered into Zhong Yuhuan’s ear, numbing it while lightly tapping against her eardrum.

Zhong Yuhuan almost threw away her phone, completely speechless.

But she still didn’t throw it out.

She was afraid that she was being too sensitive and was interpreting Li Jinyuan’s actions as teasing towards herself.

The male lead has a canon match!

Either way, it would be wrong no matter how she replied!

Zhong Yuhuan hurriedly changed the topic. “You still have arrangements today, right? Go work first. It’s fine now that I know you’re not bothered by what’s on the Internet.”

Li Jinyuan nodded, saying, “Yup, I was just being interviewed.”

“Just?” Zhong Yuhuan was stunned. “Then where were you when you picked up the phone?”

Li Jinyuan quietly took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm and normal. “On stage.”

On stage?

In front of the media?

Picking up her call?

Zhong Yuhuan heard ringing in her brain.

Was he afraid that the mess on the hot search wouldn’t be enough?

Zhong Yuhuan almost suspected that Li Jinyuan didn’t enter the entertainment industry for money. She felt that this person only entered on a whim, showing off his talents, stepping over countless people, and even unscrupulously doing whatever he wanted…

“Huanhuan, see you tomorrow,” Li Jinyuan said. Then added, “The weather’s warming up, but you can’t wear too little this soon. Don’t want you to catch a cold.”

Zhong Yuhuan replied blankly, “Mhm…”

Li Jinyuan said, “You hang up.”

Zhong Yuhuan instinctively hung up.

Waiting until Zhong Yuhuan hung up, Li Jinyuan then slowly closed his phone.

Then he lowered his head again, refixing the microphone. His slender fingers fiddled with his collar. When he raised his head, he was back to being the gentle and graceful young master.

“Apologies, I have delayed everyone.”

“No problem.” The voices from below were unanimous.

Who would care about the delay at this time?

The person they were interviewing just exposed himself on camera. They now had news to write about with pictures and attention-grabbing headlines to accompany it.

What would they be dissatisfied about?

The only ones who were unhappy were fellow members of the show who had come with Li Jinyuan. They were jealous to death.

But Li Jinyuan didn’t stop there. He smiled again, in an even more touching way, and said, “During the first year of middle school, I was in an extracurricular class when Huanhuan suddenly had a stomachache. She sent me a message, but I didn’t notice it on time. I learned from that experience and set a special ringtone for her. My phone is never in silent mode. I’m afraid that if I miss…”

The reporters immediately became energetic as one side began snapping pictures of Li JInyuan and the other began asking questions.

But Li Jinyuan held his hand up, motioning for them to hold on.

“I don’t want to take up other people’s time. I know that everyone is curious and I don’t intend to hide anything, so give me a few minutes to explain everything clearly…”

“I’m from an orphanage.” Li Jinyuan smiled. “The Dings, who are Huanhuan’s maternal family, adopted me. I pretty much grew up with Huanhuan. Being from an orphanage doesn’t equal being pitiful and having an inferiority complex, nor does it mean stealing and robbing. It doesn’t affect my desire to be an even better person.”

“Of course, this is all because of Huanhuan.” Li Jinyuan’s gaze was gentle.

Every word he said was from his heart.

It’s just that he only now dared to say some of the things in his heart.

“Without her, there would not be the present Li Jinyuan. Think about it. If you had a soft, cute, intelligent, and kind-hearted girl, who is as warm and dazzling as the morning sun, by your side ever since childhood, wouldn’t you want to be as perfect as her? Even wishing to be more powerful than her in order to take care of her?”

The reporters below completely exploded.

Did Li Jinyuan just use all of the compliments he had learned in his life on Zhong Yuhuan?

The author has something to say: The stomachache that time was younger brother Li’s heartache. _(:зゝ∠)_ Then, brother Li was like this → I won’t say words of love outright, but I will use various ways to express my love. Just call me Li Tricky Jinyuan.
