Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Chapter 166 - Off to a Reality TV Show (2)

Sister Yang immediately had her subordinate reach out to Huo Chengming. 

They went the proper route this time to deliver the contract to him, but Huo Chengming’s secretary received only too many contracts every day. A contract like this would only be viewed as a prank and would never make its way to Huo Chengming. 

Those over at the Yang’s didn’t know that. They just assumed that the contract had, indeed, reached Huo Chengming. They started waiting for his response. 

On the other hand, Li Jinyuan had also called up Zhong Yuhuan and asked her to also go onto the reality TV show. 

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t really care about it one way or another, she yawned drowsily and agreed, “Sure.”

Others might care about fame, but not her. 

She already has enough money to last her a lifetime. As long as the female lead didn’t show up to meddle with her, everything would just be perfect. 

Going onto a reality TV show was nothing but an experience to her. 

Before Li Jinyuan’s current show was over, the filming for the reality TV show had already begun. After all, it was best for this reality TV show to start immediately after the conclusion of the talent show. That way they could just ride the wave of popularity.

The Yang’s never received a response from Huo Chengming. Having no other options, they started considering other candidates. But from the standpoint of young, rich, and handsome, there just weren't a lot of options. 

The Yang’s were very troubled by this.

The weekend came quickly and Huo Chengming made a trip back to the mansion. He saw Zhong Yuhuan directing the servants around to help her pack.

Huo Chengming paused for a second and asked, “What’s going on? Are you moving somewhere?”

“No, not moving, but I will be gone for a little while,” said Zhong Yuhuan while shaking her head. 

“Where are you going?”

“Thailand.”

“For fun?” asked Huo Chengming, perplexed. He recalled her saying that it wasn’t fun over there just a year ago. 

Zhong Yuhuan sank into the couch and said in a lazy tone, “Not exactly. Going there for filming purposes to be precise.”

“Filming?” Huo Chengming wasn’t on the top of his game today. 

“Yeah.”

Huo Chengming finally processed what she had just told him. “Why… why are you filming all of a sudden?”

“Oh, the contract that they gave to Li Jinyuan last time. The reality TV show? They wanted to invite regular people on there as well. Yang Sen asked me and I don’t have anything important going on recently so I agreed to it."

The contract from last time!

The reality TV show!

If Huanhuan went to film for that show, wasn’t that an equivalent of her going on a trip with Li Jinyuan just the two of them?

Huo Chengming felt that he was punched in his guts.

“Oh… is that so…” He said in a low voice. 

Having said that, he was worried that he seemed too unhappy about it. But there was no way he could get himself to say “Oh, that’s so awesome!” to her cheerfully. Huo Chengming would rather kill Li Jinyuan a hundred times over before he could say such a thing. 

Zhong Yuhuan patted the spot next to her and said to him, “Are you tired today? Want to chat?”

Huo Chengming walked over to where she was. He walked almost all the way to the couch before he realized his hands and legs were not coordinated. 

Sitting down on the couch, he asked in a low voice, “… how many regular people did they invite onto this show?”

“Eh? I don’t know. I didn’t ask.” And Zhong Yuhuan, indeed, didn’t really care much about that. She was just there for headcount purposes. As to how the show went, how others are doing, etc., she didn’t feel that she needed to be concerned about them. 

Huo Chengming, “Oh.”

It didn’t take long for Zhong Yuhuan to be packed. 

Looking at the luggage piled up by the front door, there was a sense of loss in his heart that he couldn’t quite explain.
