Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Li Jinyuan napped for three hours at the break room after the activity, and it was already 6 PM when he woke up.

The organizer was very generous and let him rest in the room without rushing him. After he was done resting, Li Jinyuan changed into a suit which made him appear much more vibrant.

Lets go, said Li Jinyuan, To the restaurant.

The assistant was even more baffled.

The way he was dressed didnt look like he was about to have dinner with his older sister. He was dressed more formally than when he attended banquets!

***

Huo Chengming had put his phone on silent mode, so he didnt get out of bed until Zhong Yuhuan went back into his room and pinched his nose to wake him up again at 6 PM.

He freshened up and changed.

He took his suit off and changed into a simple, white turtle-neck sweater with a short, down jacket, immediately converting himself from an elite businessman into a wolf pup of his age.

Zhong Yuhuan, on the other hand, put more effort in her outfit.

She had on a long white dress with a red peacoat. She wasnt as tall as Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, but she wasnt short either. With her 5-cm heel, she seemed even more tall and slender and did not have to worry about her dress being dragged on the ground.

Her facial features had grown out even more and with the red peacoat on her, her features stood out even more. She has the vibrancy of a young girl and reminded others of a blossoming peach.

She went downstairs after she walked out of her room.

She chuckled when she saw Huo Chengming. She pointed at him then at herself, Do we look like a rich woman and her boy toy?

Huo Chengmings lips moved, and he said to her, Yes.

Zhong Yuhuan walked out of the door after she had said that.

The car was parked out front, and the bodyguards had already opened the doors for them. Zhong Yuhuan got inside the car with her purse in her hand.

Huo Chengming fell behind. A simple joke like that from her had made him think of so much more.

Following behind her, he climbed into the car and closed the door behind him.

Lets get dinner and you can get some more rest after we get home. Then you can start your day afresh tomorrow, said Zhong Yuhuan.

Huo Chengming nodded his head and did not object to any of what she had said.

When Zhong Yuhuans car arrived at Sanweixuan, Li Jinyuan had arrived at the same time.

Sitting on the side closer to the sidewalk, Huo Chengming opened the door first and got out of the car.

Zhong Yuhuans cellphone started ringing almost immediately. She looked at it. Seeing that it was from Li Jinyuan, she picked it up right away.

Huanhuan, where are you now? Have you left yet?

I am already in front of the restaurant.

Me too, said Li Jinyuan. Then, after a slight pause, he said, Okay, I see your car now.

Oh, yeah? Zhong Yuhuan stood next to Huo Chengming and looked around. She saw a black nanny van parked near the right-hand side of the restaurant. Standing next to the car, there were Li Jinyuan, Wei Jie, and a woman who looked like an assistant.

Huo Chengming looked over as well and saw Li Jinyuan at the same time that Li Jinyuan spotted them.

Their eyes met in a peculiar way midway, and they both checked out how each other was dressed.

Li Jinyuan found the way Huo Chengming dressed laughable. Huo Chengming had already been hanging out with Chen Mingye for a good part of the year and had been knee deep on the villain side for the most part. Now, he dressed all innocently as soon as he stepped out of the office, thinking that nobody would be aware of that.

Huo Chengming also found Li Jinyuans outfit laughable. He was the younger one but always insisted on wearing suits in front of Huanhuan trying to pretend to be an adult. Well, even so, Li Jinyuan would never be the older brother or replace him.

And thats when Li Jinyuan started walking toward them.

Huanhuan, said Li Jinyuan softly when he finally got in front of her and at the same time, he pulled her into his arms.

He was tall. A swift hug from him and Zhong Yuhuans head was buried into his chest.

Alright, alright. Thats enough. I cant breathe anymore, said Zhong Yuhuan as she quickly pushed him away.

Li Jinyuan finally let go of her.

As soon as he let go of her, Wei Jie and Li Jinyuans assistant also walked up to them.

Wie Jie hadnt seen Zhong Yuhuan for a while now. When he saw her again, he was happy. At the same time, he was stunned by her beauty. Miss Zhong, long time no see. You are certainly becoming prettier and prettier!

Hi, Wie-ge. How have you been?

Same ol, same ol, said Wie Jie as he waved his hand.

Li Jinyuans assistant was finally able to take a good look of Li Jinyuans sister.

She was young and looked to be even a little bit younger than Li Jinyuan from her looks alone. And, just like Wie Jie said, she was pretty. Very pretty, matter of fact.

The word pretty alone wasnt enough to describe her.

The young girl standing in front of her has outstanding disposition and was eye-catching. Better than many actresses, if she may add.
