Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu did not show any mercy when she saw that look of Huo Xunzhou. “Confess yourself. Why have you been following me all day?”

Huo Xunzhou clenched his fists and cleared his throat lightly. “You wanted to accompany me.”

‘l’ne Cleep voice slowly KnocKea on Lin snancnu•s eardrums. It sounaea so pleasant that it was almost bewitching.

Lin Shanchu secretly gritted her teeth. This scheming man was trying to trick her again.

Hmph, she would not fall for it!

“Since you don’t want to confess, I won’t force you.” Lin Shanchu pretended to get up and leave. Just as she turned around, her hand was grabbed.

“Shanshan…’

Lin Shanchu sat down without hesitation.

Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze. Lin Shanchu urged him, “Speak.”

“My father might lay a hand on you again.” Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly in a deep voice and there was nothing unusual about his expression.

Lin Shanchu replied casually, “Oh.”

She thought that Huo Xunzhou followed her around the entire day because he had done something wrong to her.

However, this thought crossed her mind before she stopped thinking about it.

After all, a man like Huo Xunzhou was as smart as a whip. Even if he did something wrong, he would try his best to hide it and never reveal such an obvious flaw.

In the end, he was only worried that Huo Zhuxiu would lay a hand on her.

Lin Shanchu’s nonchalant attitude made Huo Xunzhou’s face darken instantly. “Shanshan, you know Huo Zhuxiu’s methods. We can’t let our guard down.”

“It’s okay. I’m not afraid of him.”

In Huo Zhuxiu’s opinion, every word she said at Boya Hotel yesterday seemed to be treasonous. Therefore, it was normal for Huo Zhuxiu to be so angry that he wanted to kill her again.

Lin Shanchu comforted him with a smile and even held his hand.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xunzhou’s expression suddenly changed.

He clenched his fists as his deep eyes burned with anger. “Yes, you are not afraid of him! You are not afraid of death either! You’re not afraid of anything!”

Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Xunzhou really understood her.

She nodded in agreement. “Yeah.”

“Then why are you angry?” she asked, puzzled.

“I’m afraid!” Huo Xunzhou laughed at himself and said, “I’m afraid of everything, but what I’m afraid the most is that something bad will befall you.”

Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before muttering, “Nothing will happen to me…”

After Lu Shiyuan’s reputation was ruined, everything that happened to her went well.

She even vaguely felt that she seemed to have a bit of the aura of a female lead.

Everything she wanted to do seemed to go smoothly.

Even if there were some twists and turns in the process, the final result was quite good.

Thinking of it, Lin Shanchu nodded her head affirmatively and said, “I will probably be fine.”

Huo Xunzhou looked even angrier.

He grimaced and pursed his lips. His charming eyes were also filled with anger.

He looked a little intimidating.

Lin Shanchu dared not provoke him anymore.

She was not afraid of him. After all, he would only hurt his body when he was angry. He would not hurt her just because he was angry. However, he was angry because he cared about her.

One could not be too heartless.

Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and tentatively leaned forward.

Huo Xunzhou still looked upset, but he did not turn around to dodge her.

Lin Shanchu’s eyes flashed as she kissed him.

After kissing him, she tilted her head and asked him, “Are you still angry?”

Huo Xunzhou held his breath and turned away with a snort.

Obviously, he was still a little angry.

She only had one boyfriend, so she had to coax him even if he was angry.

“Then get a group of bodyguards to follow me, okay?” Huo Xunzhou’s expression finally softened.

After a while, he nodded lightly. “Yeah.”

Her boyfriend was really easy to coax. His anger subsided in an instant.

Lin Shanchu continued to comfort him. “Take it easy. I will protect myself. You will protect me too, right?”

Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Instead, he held her hand firmly.

The next day, Huo Xunzhou came to pick Lin Shanchu up early in the morning as usual.

However, he did not follow her around all day like he did the day before.

By the time the read-through ended, the news of Huo Xunzhou taking Lin Shanchu to work and picking her up after work every day had already spread in the circle.

Lin Shanchu had made time to shoot the cover of MMLY before joining the crew.

As soon as she entered the film set, she attracted everyone’s attention.

The staff also knew that Cheng Fanjing was the candidate for the cover of this issue at first.

In the end, Lin Shanchu was selected instead.

Lin Shanchu had been in the limelight recently in Capital City.

First, Yun Yi personally welcomed her at Boya Hotel. Then, Huo Chaosheng snatched Cheng Fanjing’s qipao and gave it to her. Then, she moved into the Yun family and officially declared her relationship with Huo Xunzhou.

Now, she snatched away the opportunity of the cover shoot that might have gone to Cheng Fanjing.

This woman from Xu City had outshone all the socialites in Capital City.

Everyone was curious about Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu calmly walked into the filmset with He Xiang.

When Ming Yao’s assistant heard the commotion, he immediately came over and said, “Miss Lin, you’re here. Please get ready. President Ming will be here in a while.”

Ming Yao would come to supervise the cover shoot of every issue.

“Thank you.”

Lin Shanchu thanked him. Not long after she sat down, Ming Yao arrived.

“You’re in good shape today.”

The staff was touching up Lin Shanchu’s makeup. Ming Yao walked up to her and sized her up.

Lin Shanchu’s lips curved into a gentle smile as she said, “You’re here.”

“Yeah.”

The expression on Ming Yao’s face immediately became a little restrained.

The gentler Lin Shanchu’s smile was, the more vigilant she became.

After the previous contact at Boya Hotel, Ming Yao finally understood that the rumors and reports about Lin Shanchu on the Internet were not groundless.

It was all true!

Ming Yao left after a short while.

When the shoot was over at night, Huo Xunzhou came to pick Lin Shanchu up from work.

However, Lin Shanchu received a call from Ming Yao as soon as she got into the car. .

“Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“Alright.”

She had no reason to reject Ming Yao’s invitation to dinner.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu met Huo Xunzhou’s probing gaze and said, “Miss Ming asked me out for dinner.”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression darkened.

“I’ll have dinner with you tomorrow.” Lin Shanchu opened the car door and got out after finished speaking.

She seemed to remember something and turned around, only to see Huo Xunzhou’s slightly disappointed expression.

As if praising Huo Xunzhou, she said, “I feel safe going out with so many bodyguards today.”

Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly, “If you think I’m annoying, you can just say so. You don’t have to be so perfunctory.”

He was beside her when she answered the call just now.

Although he could not hear Ming Yao’s voice, she could hear Lin Shanchu’s voice clearly.

She did not hesitate at all when she replied, “Alright..”
