Chapter 223: Group Photo

Zhao Jia had not expected Huo Chuan to reject her so coldly. Although she was a relatively new female celebrity, she at least had the looks to stand among the greats.

Most people in the industry now had backers, but she was different. She was discovered by a talent scout on the road. The moment she appeared in the public eye, her beauty caught the eyes of many fans.

It was precisely also because she was in the industry that Zhao Jia knew how important backers were.

Therefore, she had set her eyes on Huo Chuan.

It was better to be with Huo Chuan than to be with several other men.

In Zhao Jia’s opinion, men were all animals that allowed their eyes to lead them astray. No matter how refined Huo Chuan was, he would still fall prey to beautiful women.

However, Zhao Jia was wrong.

She looked at Huo Chuan unwillingly and continued to say in a sweet voice, “President Huo, I, I am your fan, I…”

“Fan?” Huo Chuan paused and turned to look at Zhao Jia.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia believed that she had hope again. Just as she was about to say something excitedly, Huo Chuan said coldly, “Don’t treat me like the other men in your circle.”

With that, he left without looking back, leaving Zhao Jia standing there with a stiff expression.

Huo Chuan returned to Yun Qing’s side without saying a word.

If not for the sake of benefits, Yun Qing would have really wanted to stand up and leave this place that gave her a headache.

Huo Chuan’s mind was still replaying the scene he had seen backstage—Meng Hong hugged Yun Qing excitedly, and Yun Qing responded to his hug gently.

He had never hugged Yun Qing like this before.

The reason why Huo Chuan had replaced Yun Qing was so that Yun Qing and Meng Hong would distance themselves. But now, what he had tried so hard to avoid had happened.

The award ceremony finally ended. Yun Qing immediately stood up and was about to walk out, but Huo Chuan stopped her. “I’ll send you home.”

“No need.” Yun Qing did not want to stay with Huo Chuan any longer. She just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Huo Chuan frowned. “You can cuddle with Meng Hong, but you won’t let me send you home?”

As soon as he said this, Yun Qing’s expression turned even uglier.

“Huo Chuan, who do you take yourself for?” Yun Qing sneered. “There are too many people here. I don’t want to argue with you. Get out of the way.”

Yun Qing was obviously angry, like an angry little beast.

Huo Chuan took a deep breath. Although he was burning with rage, he did not want to mess up his relationship with Yun Qing. He could only make way for Yun Qing to leave.

At the parking lot, Huo Chuan got into the car. Li Yi said, “President Huo, the photo has been taken. It has been sent to your phone.”

Huo Chuan picked up his phone and saw the photo that Li Yi had secretly taken.

In the photo, he and Yun Qing were sitting side by side. Both of their side profiles were very exquisite, and they looked like a perfect match.

When he saw the photo of him and Yun Qing, Huo Chuan’s mood calmed down a little. At the same time, he realized how ridiculous he had been acting.

After so many years, he and Yun Qing did not even have a decent photo together. Now, he had to resort to such methods to sneak a photo in.

Huo Chuan was almost prepared to wallow in self-pity, but this was the only way he could keep it as a souvenir.

This photo would definitely become Huo Chuan’s treasure.

The next morning, Yun Qing once again topped the hot search rankings. Of course, she also brought along Meng Hong’s name.

At first, Liu Tao thought that since Huo Chuan had replaced Yun Qing as the guest presenter for the award, Meng Hong would not be able to climb up the popularity rankings. However, who knew that Meng Hong, in all of his boyish, pure sincerity, had hugged Yun Qing in sheer joy. This breath of fresh air in the industry made Meng Hong and Yun Qing even more popular among the netizens as a couple filled with love. Together, they became the top trending couple.

When the netizens saw them hugging, they were in an uproar.

“Isn’t this too sweet?! My favorite ship ever is about to set sail!!”

“Previously, I heard that people always liked to share their happiness with their favorite people at the first opportunity. This is as clear as it gets, Yun Qing is Meng Hong’s favorite person!”

“A female company magnate and male star. A rich princess and her puppy. I love this setting! Can they make it a movie?”

…

Yun Qing kept reading these comments on her way to work. It had to be said that these netizens were quite good at forming a couple. If it weren’t for her being the female lead, she would have liked reading it too.
