Chapter 195
âDo you want to have some?â Li Jinyuan asked Zhong Yuhuan.
He pulled out a bottle of strawberry milk from his bag and said, âHere, you can have this; itâs your favorite, isnât it?â With that said, he put the bottle of strawberry milk in front of Zhong Yuhuan.
Zhong Yuhuan didnât know whether she should laugh or cry, so she simply asked, âWhen did you have the time to buy all of this?â
âI bought the bottle of chili oil with black beans a while ago. The crew gave each of us 100 yuan as our allowance, so Iâve spent it on the bread and milk.â The corners of Li Jinyuanâs mouth curved upward as he placed all the food and snacks in front of Zhong Yuhuan. He even took this opportunity to help fasten her seatbelt before starting the engine of the car.
T/N: Yuan is Chinese currency. 100 yuan is around $15.
âAre you all ready? Weâll be setting off now,â Li Jinyuan said in a low voice.
Yin Qiqi suddenly spoke up and asked, âBrother Jinyuan, why did you spend all your money from right now? Wouldnât you need to buy other things later on?â
Li Jinyuan didnât even look at her when he responded, âThereâs nothing else I have to buy.â
Yin Qiqi fell silent at his response.
Ling Lan glanced at Li Jinyuan and whispered, âCan you share some of the snacks with me? I didnât eat much at the restaurant because I wasnât used to the food.â
Zhong Yuhuan opened the bottle of chili oil with black beans, scooped some of the content out, and spread it on the toast. She handed two slices of toast to Ling Lan.
When she turned around, she noticed that the corners of his mouth had stiffened and the smile on his face had faded.
Huh?
Why is he upset?
Zhong Yuhuan was somewhat confused?
Hm, could it be because I shared some of the toast with Ling Lan?
But Ling Lan was the original female lead in this world!
She was his perfect match!
Zhong Yuhuan tore off a small piece of the toast and asked, âDo you want to have a bite?â
Li Jinyuan didnât respond, instead, he leaned his body towards her while keeping his eyes on the road. He opened his mouth and took a bite of the toast in her hand.
The tensed expression on his face had relaxed.
Fortunately, he was easy to coax.
Butâ¦wouldnât Huo Chengming start sulking once he saw the broadcast of the show where she fed Li Jinyuan toast?
Tsk.
Her life was quite difficult.
Zhong Yuhuan suddenly felt like she was an emperor with three thousand beauties in her harem. Each of those beauties would throw a tantrum or bear a grudge if they didnât receive the same amount of affection.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Li Jinyuan helped Zhong Yuhuan unfasten her seat belt before he got out of the car.
Then, he opened the car door for Zhong Yuhuan.
Ling Lan unfasten her seat belt and got out of the car by herself. She glanced at Li Jinyuan and asked, âAre you familiar with this place?â
Yin Qiqi also climbed out of the car. She already knew that Li Jinyuan wouldnât even spare a thought on her, so she opened the car door and climbed out of the car by herself.
After hearing Ling Lanâs question, Yin Qiqi immediately responded, âHavenât you watched the news? He used to live here and had even worked here as a model for several years.â
âDid Brother Huo work here as well?â Ling Lan asked.
Yin Qiqi fell into a daze and answered, âIâm not sure.â
On the other side, Li Jinyuan was only talking to Zhong Yuhuan. He had no intention of interacting with the other women here.
Ling Lan stared at the two figures profoundly.
Just then, Huo Chengming and the others arrived.
Gu Yuling walked over to them and praised Huo Chengming profusely in front of them, âLittle Huo is amazing!â The bottom of Gu Yulingâs eyes was shining brightly when she spoke.
Zhong Yuhuan stared at her with a blank expression and asked, âWhat happened?â
Huo Chengming replied, âThere was a problem with the car.â
Zhong Yuhuan frowned and said, âYou should head in first. Iâll contact the rental company.â
She immediately pulled out her phone from her purse and started dialing the phone number of the rental company.
Ge Mei believed that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so she said, âForget it, it was merely a minor problem, so letâs head to the park.â
Yin Qiqi immediately spoke up and said, âThis wouldnât have happened if we didnât rent the cars.â
Huo Chengming took Zhong Yuhuanâs phone from her, âIâll call them. You and Lu Jinyuan should head in first.â
Zhong Yuhuan took her phone back from him and said, âItâs just a phone call; itâll only take a few minutes.â With that said, she dialed the rental company and spoke with their representative in fluent English. After a few minutes, she hung up the call.
âThe general manager of the car rental company will head over here to apologize to us.â Zhong Yuhuan raised an eyebrow, smiled brightly at them, and said, âLetâs go! We should head to the park.â
It was not uncommon for Chinese tourists to suffer losses because of language barriers.
In contrast, Zhong Yuhuan was able to smoothly handle the matter.
Yin Qiqi was suspicious, âWill the general manager really come here to apologize to us?â
How could Zhong Yuhuan have so much influence in this foreign country?
Didnât companies like these usually compensate them with a small sum of money for the inconvenience?
