Chapter 133 - “Return to your home country and enter into the entertainment circle. Have you ever considered that, Young Master Li? You have a built-in advantage already!” (3)
Zhong Yuhuan thought about it for a little, pulled herself free from Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming, took a step forward, and threw her arms around Lang Jinzhi. Lang Jinzhi was quite tall and had wide shoulders. Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t quite wrap her arms around him entirely, but she was able to give him a hug and said, “You get some rest, Cousin.”
Lang Jinzhi paused for a little and that odd, unhappy sensation was gone.
He didn’t expect that Zhong Yuhuan was the one who’d give him a hug.
Wasn’t he the one who was here to comfort her?
How could she do that? Each motion of hers was enough to soften another person.
Lang Jinzhi freed himself of her arms and put his arms around her instead.
He had wanted to hug her, since a long, long time ago.
Back then, he started slowly sensing that this little cousin needed to be coddled.
He had been wanting to give her a hug since.
Finally, he was able to make it up to her. Made up for not being there for her when her mother passed away.
“It was so difficult to hug Cousin. Much better when I being hugged by Cousin,” said Zhong Yuhuan with a smile.
“Mm,” said Lang Jinzhi in a low voice. “I’ll hug you. From now on, it will always be me hugging you.”
Zhong Yuhuan struggled a little, patted him on his waist, and said, “Alright, Cousin, you should go back. I am so tired. I should go back too.”
“Mm,” said Li Jinyuan as he finally let go of her slowly.
Assistant Zhao, waiting behind them, also had dark circles under his eyes. He bowed slightly to Zhong Yuhuan after he saw that and said, “Take care of yourself, Miss Zhong. And get some rest.”
Zhong Yuhuan nodded, “Thank you for everything, Assistant Zhao. Please see to it that my Cousin returns to the hotel.”
When Assistant Zhao heard her comment, he couldn’t help but smile. “Okay, I will do that.”
Lang Jinzhi and Assistant Zhao turned around and started walking away.
Zhong Yuhuan turned to look at Li Jinyuan and then Huo Chengming before she said, “Let’s head out too.”
“Mm, we have our car with us,” said Huo Chengming in a low voice.
Zhong Yuhuan noticed that they were also a little down. After they got inside the car, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? You two are tired too?”
Huo Chengming did not say a word.
Li Jinyuan, on the other hand, gave her a smile all of a sudden and said jokingly, “We were thinking how nice Huanhuan is and there are so many who like Huanhuan. There are Cousin Lang and Maria, then there are also Langdon and Joseph. Oh, let’s not forget Yang Sen and the group from before… all of them were so fond of Huanhuan. Where do Huo Chengming and I rank? When there are more in the future… Huanhuan will forget about us….”
This time, Li Jinyuan didn’t mind dragging Huo Chengming down with him.
Granted, what Li Jinyuan had said was also what was on Huo Chengming’s mind. So, he just pressed his lip shut without correcting him.
Zhong Yuhuan was a little stunned.
Wait a minute….
They were the male lead and the villain.
Both of them have halos!
Plus, both of them already had their own careers and quite successful at them as well.
How did they feel so inferior and actually worried whether she’d remember them in the future?
“So will that be the case?” Li Jinyuan turned and asked.
His voice softened as though it was infused with a little bit of careful worry.
Zhong Yuhuan took a deep breath before she finally fully comprehended that fact that they were genuinely worried about this.
She said, “Of course not. Even after you are married… we will still hang out together…”
Now, it was Li Jinyuan’s turn to be stunned.
Get married?
Who’s getting married?
That was never a part of their life plans.
Ever since the very beginning, the only thing that had crossed their minds was to become successful, to stand at the apex of their field, to have power and status, and to protect her flawlessly…. Other than that… What else was worth doing in life?
Nothing.
Huo Chengming didn’t say anything. He just quietly lifted his arm, covered up Zhong Yuhuan’s eyes, and said, “Get a little bit of sleep first?”
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t seem to be bothered that the subject was changed abruptly in the middle. She was very agreeable. “Okay.”
She lifted her head a little, leaned against the back of the seat, and closed her eyes. Her long lashes brushed Huo Chengming’s palm and immediately Huo Chengming felt a sense of serenity within him.

It would take time to take care of all the businesses within the country. Zhong Yuhuan immediately applied for a temporary absence from school. Her application was approved quickly.
At some of the overseas schools, one could take time off to gain work experience or even to travel the world. As long as there’s a legitimate reason, the school would approve.
At the same time, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming had also made up their minds.
Stay in the country too.
Li Jinyuan gave Wei Jie a call.
When Wei Jie received his call, his first thought was that he had gone insane.
“Your career has really been taking off overseas. Now you are telling me that you want to launch your career back there?” said Wie Jie, shocked.
Li Jinyuan couldn’t care less. “A good career should be controlled by the person himself, not the person being controlled by it. Is being a model really all that? Is that the top of the career?”
Wie Jie started to calm down slowly. He had been working with Li Jinyuan for a while now and knew that this young master was never as gentlemanly and tender as he looked. In fact, he has a lot of pride in him and always radiated the sense of looking down on everything else around him. As far as he was concerned, his current success – being so popular within English – was probably not much at all.
He could accomplish a lot more if only he wanted to.
Wie Jie took a deep breath and an idea began to form in his head, “…. Return to your home country and enter into the entertainment circle. Have you ever considered that, Young Master Li? You have a built-in advantage already!”
