Chapter 49

On the afternoon of the third day, Huo Yan and his group returned to China.

As soon as the plane landed, Xu Yinyin couldn't wait to get off the plane and walked quickly towards the car that had been waiting in the parking lot.

Huo Yan didn't stop her and let her do as she pleased.

Ever since they parted on bad terms that night, Xu Yinyin hadn't spoken to him since. Even when she treated everyone to hotpot, she only drank and chatted with the three unfilial sons, giving him a cold look that said, "Don't get close to me."

Huo Yan should have been anxious in this situation, but he was extremely complacent.

The angrier she is, the more it proves that she has him in her heart.

The three unfilial sons also noticed their sister-in-law's awkwardness, but they saw through it but didn't say anything. They accompanied her in ignoring Huo Yan, showing their brotherhood and taking revenge on their personal grudges.

After watching their sister-in-law get into the car with a huff and puff and drive away, the three of them started to worry.

Ji Kai: "Brother Yan, you haven't even started yet, and your sister-in-law is already so angry, are you going to continue?"

Wang Xun continued, "Nonsense! My sister-in-law is already angry, so why not continue? The angrier she gets, the bigger the game will be. Try to defeat the enemy with one move."

He Yang nodded in agreement and said, "It has come to this. If Brother Yan suddenly stops, there is no reason for Sister-in-law to explode. It will just go back to square one. Emotions need to be vented. The result of forbearance is missing out. Love should be expressed, understand?"

Huo Yan smiled as he looked in the direction Xu Yinyin disappeared, and said with certainty, "Anyway, she has me in her heart."

The harsher the scolding, the more I care.

The three of them got goosebumps at his confident yet cloying tone, and moved aside in disgust.

Huo Yan didn't care. He sent them an expression that said "You deserve to be single" and got into his car and sped away.

That night, Song Qing suddenly became a hot topic.

#Mysterious big man appeared on the set, and the popular young actress is suspected of having a new relationship#

In the picture, Huo Yan was holding her arm caringly, with half of her body pressed against his arms. It seemed like an unintentional fall, but in fact it was full of scheming. When Huo Yan turned his head to look at Song Qing, his eyes were full of affection and stickiness.

Although it was blurred, Xu Yinyin, who knew the situation, knew Huo Yan's expression and was certain that her imagination was the truth.

[Look, he's so happy! He's really dedicated to his work and does everything well!]

[That's what a responsible person does. If you promise something to someone, you do it to the best of your ability.]

Xu Yinyin rolled her eyes in anger, turned off the screen and threw it heavily on the table. She turned on the game console and prepared to play a fighting game.

"elder sister!"

Xu Yao hurriedly pushed the door open and asked anxiously, "Did you see the trending search? Why does the rumored boyfriend of popular young actress Song Qing look so much like Brother Yan? Look!"

Xu Yao was very tactless and turned out the picture, which was an enlarged version with a close-up of the mosaic Huo Yan.

Xu Yinyin felt depressed again.

[See? Anyone who knows him would recognize him instantly. Mosaic is useless. He doesn't even try to hide his identity. What a reserved person!]

Xu Yao's pupils shrank. What do you mean by intentional? What do you mean by reserved and reserved? Is there something fishy going on?

Waiting to eat JPG.

In order to eat melons, Xu Yao began to rack his brains.

He pretended to be puzzled and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Song Qing is Brother Kai's man. My brother-in-law should have just met by chance. Yes, it was a chance encounter, and then the other party happened to sprain his ankle. The paparazzi made up a rumor and solved the case!"

Xu Yinyin gave him a cold look and said, "Don't you have to do your homework? Are you very free?"

"No, I'm just concerned about you. Didn't Brother Yan explain it to you?"

"It's just a marriage arranged by a wealthy family, not true love. Besides, we're not married yet, so he doesn't need to tell me what he does."

"That's right, nine out of ten men are playboys. It seems Brother Yan is no exception. I overestimated him. No, I have to help you get revenge and extort another 18 million from him. It's his fault for not keeping the moral code of a man!"

As Xu Yao spoke, he took out his phone and opened Huo Yan's WeChat to prepare for the attack.

Xu Yinyin hurriedly stopped him with a guilty conscience, "If you need money, I'll give it to you. Stop teasing him."

"That won't do. Whether it's Song Qing taking advantage of you or Brother Yan taking the initiative, as the marriage partner, he should give you an explanation. Even if it's a collaboration, he should abide by the spirit of the contract. How can you do this recklessly? I must remind Brother Yan."

Seeing Xu Yao's resolute attitude, Xu Yinyin could only confess: "I asked him to seduce her."

"Huh?!!!!" Xu Yao was shocked.

It feels like his sister is playing a very new kind of relationship.

Xu Yinyin told Ji Kai about helping him, and then added, "It's just a casual act. Don't make it public, and don't get involved. OK?"

"Looking at it this way, it seems like Brother Yan really listens to you. No wonder Grandma Yan always tells Grandpa that Brother Yan is really serious this time. Sis, I think you two will definitely make your fake play a reality."

"Doesn't Huo Yan listen to Grandma Yan?" Xu Yinyin asked doubtfully.

When they first met, she even complained that he was a baby boy.

"Brother Yan has been a rebellious person since he was young. He won't listen to anything, not just Grandma Yan, but Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo. After all, he's been incredibly gifted and intelligent since he was young. He completed his MBA at 18, had his own listed company at 20, and by 24, he was among the top three richest people in the world and has dominated the list for years. Who would a person like him listen to?"

[Listen to my wife.] The system added slowly.

Xu Yinyin: “…”

Xu Yao raised his eyebrows, "Sis, Brother Yan listens to you so much, could it be that he has already chosen you as his future wife? It has to be you!"

"Hehe!" Xu Yinyin avoided his inquiring gaze, clicked the start button and played the game.

Xu Yao got excited when he saw his sister's expression. He said to himself, "No, if I really wanted to marry you, I wouldn't dare agree to such an outrageous request."

[See? If I really like you, I won’t agree to it. 】

The system has no comment.

Xu Yao's face suddenly changed, and he said worriedly, "Wait a minute, the entertainment industry is so chaotic. Everyone who comes out is scheming. Brother Yan might end up losing both money and people. If someone with ulterior motives gives him some drugs, takes some indecent photos, and uses internet trolls to stir up trouble, and the woman comes out crying and trying to gain sympathy, he'll be ruined in a matter of minutes. Okay, can Brother Yan handle it?"

Xu Yinyin's hand that was playing the video game suddenly shook. No way, could it be so dangerous?

Ah Yao has grown up! I didn't expect this. Song Qing is ambitious, so she must know that if she misses a man like Huo Yan, she'll never find another in her life. She'll definitely do everything in her power to tie herself to him forever. Xu Yao's worries are not unreasonable.

[In terms of scheming, Huo Yan is not bad either, otherwise how could he have created such a huge business empire.]

Xu Yinyin retorted somewhat unconfidently.

How can the business world and the entertainment industry be the same? Don't you think about it? Huo Yan is invincible in the business world, and there are so many people behind him who are eyeing him covetously. Every loss of a competitor is a win. What if someone wants to use Song Qing to ruin his reputation?

[No way?] Xu ​​Yinyin became increasingly uncertain.

The entertainment industry has its own ecosystem and power structures. If you rashly intervene, you'll definitely cause dissatisfaction. It might be intentional, but Huo Yan doesn't know the rules of the game. So, it's quite dangerous.

Seeing her expression change slightly, Xu Yao hurriedly told her about the incident of a top star who had been scammed for having an internet celebrity girlfriend and stepped on a sewing machine not long ago, which made Xu Yinyin even more uneasy.

She really didn't mean to put Huo Yan in danger, but if Huo Yan was really plotted against by someone with ulterior motives, she would become an indirect perpetrator, which was not what she wanted to see.

What should I do? Should I stop now?

[Of course, you can't just watch him die.]

Of course, the system knew that the plan that Huo Yan and Ji Kai had re-discussed was not dangerous at all, but it just couldn't stand the host's duplicity.

I obviously like you but you're acting awkwardly. It makes me so anxious!

It wished it could lock them up by pressing their heads, making them bang their heads for the rest of their lives.

"Sister, why don't you call your brother-in-law and remind him? The entertainment industry is really chaotic." Xu Yao tempted secretly.

Xu Yinyin let go of the hand holding the handle and let the character be beaten to death by the other party. She felt very uncomfortable.

Finally she picked up the phone and walked towards the small balcony.

When the call came through, Huo Yan was signing a cooperation agreement with Song Qing's agency.

He sponsored all announcements related to Song Qing, including GG, film and television dramas, variety shows, etc., but he received 40% of the profits and Song Qing received 60%.

Song Qing got the lion's share and didn't have to commit herself to the capital tycoon, so she accepted it with great joy.

With Huo Yan as a huge capital, the company is even more powerful. Their attitude towards Song Qing is so good that they would like to worship such a lucky cat. It is a win-win situation.

The cooperation was reached happily.

Huo Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the caller ID. A rare smile appeared on his face, which had always been frozen in front of outsiders.

Song Qing couldn't help but sigh: "I really envy your lover. You dote on her so much, does she know?"

The moment he added Huo Yan on WeChat, he told him the truth that it was to win the favor of his future wife.

As soon as he heard Xu Yinyin's name, Song Qing immediately understood.

Anyway, she originally sought out Ji Kai to get help in her career, and love affairs were not really in her life plan, so she didn't think Ji Kai's trick of using Huo Yan to divert her attention was humiliating.

With the attitude that she had hurt him before and being outmaneuvered by him was even, she gladly accepted Huo Yan's simple proposal for cooperation. In addition, the other party was so generous that she felt that she had made a profit.

There is no deep hatred in the adult world. In the final analysis, it is just an exchange of interests. Although she accepted it well, she was still quite envious of Huo Yan's kindness to Xu Yinyin.

Although that woman was gossipy, she had a simple mind, so it was understandable that Huo Yan liked her.

After all, everyone who sees through the complexity and darkness of human nature yearns for simple beauty, and Xu Yinyin just happens to have such characteristics.

Huo Yan smiled faintly, a rare gesture, and said, "She doesn't need to know. This is what I should do. Excuse me, Miss Song."

"Please do as you please."

Huo Yan nodded to her with dignity, then stood up and left.

When Xu Yinyin was about to hang up, Huo Yan answered: "Yinyin, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

While waiting for the call to be connected, Xu Yinyin's mind was in a state of confusion. She wanted to hang up several times, but was hesitant because of the reminders from the system and A Yao.

As a result, the phone rang more than ten times but she didn't answer it. She immediately imagined that Huo Yan was being affectionate with Song Qing, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Where are you?" she asked in a nasty tone.

"In the restaurant where we had dinner together last time."

"Alone?"

"And Song Qing."

[Ha, I'm really being affectionate with her.]

Huo Yan imagined her angry and aggrieved look, curled his lips into a smile, and then said in a seemingly unintentional tone, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Can't you find it if you're fine? Are you in a hurry?"

"No rush, it's just that it's not polite to keep people waiting."

[Be polite, be polite. You should behave yourself. Who was the one who kept looking at his phone while eating with me? Now you're asking me to wait. You know you're being rude. Damn it!]

[Baby, that's because you were busy working on the contract, so he was just checking his phone to pass the time.]

[Me--Which side are you on?!]

I stand on the side of justice.

"Then go back, I won't bother you anymore!"

Huo Yan laughed out loud when he heard the busy tone on the phone, and the little liar became anxious.

After putting his phone back in his pocket, he went straight to the parking lot and drove towards Xu's house.

After Xu Yinyin hung up the phone, she was as angry as a human Tyrannosaurus Rex, pacing back and forth in the room, her chest rising and falling as if she would gather flames of rage in the next second and spray anyone she caught.

Xu Yao watched her hang up the phone and go back to her room in less than two minutes. He paced back and forth in anger, feeling that something was wrong, and found an excuse to slip away.

As soon as he escaped back to the living room, he informed Huo Yan: "Brother Yan, no matter what you did to my sister, she is very, very, very angry now. I suggest you appear in front of her immediately and apologize."

"I'm on my way."

Xu Yao was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him say, "But—does this count as leaking information behind your sister's back?"

Xu Yao's heart tightened, and he felt something was wrong. "Brother-in-law, you can't sell my horse. Who did I tip off for?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that shameless. So, are we on the same front?"

Xu Yao was stunned. He had immediately pulled himself to his side? It wasn't shameless, just a little bit despicable. The coercion and inducement were confirmed!

"Okay!" Xu Yao responded confidently, a real man can bend and stretch.

"Then do you know what to do in front of your sister in the future?" Huo Yan coaxed.

"I know my brother-in-law. I'm very good at it. If you give me some pointers, I can pave a smooth road to courtship for you and help you become my legal brother-in-law as soon as possible. Muah!"

"Very good, I won't let you help me for nothing, happy cooperation."

"Hey, nice cooperation, brother-in-law."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yao immediately received a transfer message for three million.

Oh my, who knows how happy it is to have a brother-in-law who is the God of Wealth!

The journey that originally took half an hour took Huo Yan only fifteen minutes.

When he stood outside Xu's house and called Xu Yinyin, the only response he got was a mechanical voice - Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off.

The image of the puffed-up pufferfish flashed through Huo Yan's mind, and he found her even cuter.

In desperation, he could only contact Xu Yao, ask him to open the door for him, and paid him 500,000 for it.

Xu Yao has no psychological burden in being a traitor. Who made him poor? Chasing dreams is very expensive. :)

When Huo Yan knocked on Xu Yinyin's door and she opened it weakly and looked at him in amazement, his joy instantly reached its peak.

How could she be so cute? If the timing wasn't wrong, he would probably pinch her frightened and angry red face.

"Why are you here? No, how did you get in?!" Xu Yinyin didn't know which one to be surprised about first!

"I've already met my uncle and aunt." Huo Yan replied with a smile.

Xu Yinyin was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. He was just showing off by walking in through the main door in a grand manner.

Xu Yinyin glanced casually and saw four shadows falling on the ground at the corner of the corridor.

No need to guess, the whole family must have been out eavesdropping.

She glared at Huo Yan with resentment and said stiffly, "Come in and talk."

After saying this, she turned around and went in first. Huo Yan immediately followed and closed the door.

"What do you want from me so late at night?"

Out of courtesy, Xu Yinyin poured him a glass of water and asked without any emotion.

"It's okay. I was just a little worried about you. You sounded a little unhappy on the phone just now, so I wanted to come and see you."

"I'm fine, you've seen it too, drink some water and leave quickly."

"Yinyin, why are you unhappy?" Huo Yan looked at her expression and asked knowingly.

"It has nothing to do with you!" Xu Yinyin refused to communicate and sat on the sofa opposite him with her arms folded.

"But I think you're mad at me. My intuition is pretty good."

"Oh, really? Then guess why I am angry with you?" Xu Yinyin looked at him leisurely.

"I think you're upset because Song Qing and I were photographed dating."

[A date?! So it wasn't just a fake ankle sprain, it was a real thing, right? Ha!]

Xu Yinyin frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and the nameless anger that she had suppressed with great difficulty rose up again, surging in her chest.

"Why should I be unhappy about you two dating? You're just acting like that because I told you to. As for whether it turns into real life, that's none of my business. Isn't it normal for sparks to fly between unmarried men and women? I just didn't expect that a career-oriented guy who's usually indifferent to women would be tempted. After all, Mr. Huo is just a human being. I overestimated you."

Xu Yinyin's sarcastic tone was full of sourness, which made Huo Yan very happy.

Don't say it, it feels good to be jealous OvO

"I also think I'm overestimated. Who would have thought that I would be stuck in such a mess?" Huo Yan looked at her without blinking, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Xu Yinyin felt her heart pierced by his gaze.

[Heh~ You're so affectionate, do I have to praise you, you lustful bastard?]

"That proves that the other person is very attractive. If you like him, then pursue him. What's the point of telling me?"

Xu Yinyin picked up a pillow and pinched the edges secretly, trying hard to suppress her anger. She looked so adorable.

Huo Yanyou felt that this was not enough and continued to add, "But she doesn't seem to like me. I'm very frustrated and don't know what to do."

Xu Yinyin laughed in anger at him, "What's the big deal about asking me this? Do you think I'm experienced?"

Huo Yan shook his head innocently. "No, I just thought that since you're both women, you might have some similarities in your thoughts, so I wanted to learn from you."

[Ahhhh, Huo Gou, don't push your luck. You really treat me like a tree hole. I don't want to be your emotional trash can. Get out!]

Xu Yinyin's fingertips, pinching the pillow, began to turn pale, but she remained calm. "Everyone has different personalities. How would I know what she's thinking? It's just playing hard to get. If you have more time, play along. Maybe this is just a little fun for lovers."

"But I don't have time. I want to do it all at once, ideally with two babies in three years!"

The familiar words immediately reminded Xu Yinyin of the ridiculous scene when she and he were acting together.

"Why, are you diagnosed with a terminal illness and anxious to expand the Huo family?"

"Is lovesickness a terminal illness?" Huo Yan, with his handsome face, pretended to be confused. "I miss her so much every day that I lose my appetite. If this continues, my body will definitely be worn down. It's not a terminal illness, but it's worse than one."

[Ahhh, is he doing this on purpose? Is he pretending to be stupid and showing off his true love to make people dumber? Why is he so irritating!]

[Baby, why are you so angry? It's not like you don't like him. If you're so angry, I'll misunderstand you're jealous and drink from the bottle.]

[I, I'll be jealous of him. Ha, so funny!]

"Lovesickness isn't a terminal illness, but deliberately displaying affection in front of singles will kill you quickly. I advise you to be kind. It's getting late, so leave quickly and don't let me sleep. Go back and get some sleep, and continue pursuing her tomorrow. You'll get her sooner or later. I wish you success. Farewell!"

Xu Yinyin mercilessly grabbed his sleeve and chased him away.

"Yin Yin, you didn't even ask me who I like?"

"Huo Yan, you're done playing, right?!" Xu Yinyin was so angry that she wanted to spit fire.

Huo Yan just looked at her without blinking, with stars of deep affection in his eyes.

Xu Yinyin was slightly startled, and her heartbeat quickened for no reason.

The next second, Huo Yan moved closer to her, and when she kept backing away and almost tripped, he suddenly held her waist and pulled her into his arms.

He leaned over and leaned close to her stunned little face, gently touching the tip of his nose to hers, and whispered in the ambiguous tone of a lover: "The person I like is you, it has been you from the beginning, Yinyin, why can't you see it, huh?"

A resentful "hmm", with a few lingering and charming sounds, softly and gently drifted into Xu Yinyin's ears.

The close proximity between Huo Yan and her was like an invisible thread that suddenly wrapped around her heart, not painful but extremely irritating.

Xu Yinyin felt difficulty breathing. She looked at Huo Yan in confusion and astonishment, her clear eyes harmless and cute.

Huo Yan couldn't help himself and immediately covered her lips with his, full of love and tenderness.

Xu Yinyin's eyes widened, her body stiffened, and the sound of her heartbeat seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet room.

[Woo! My heart is beating so fast, ahh ...
