When Lin Shanchu went back and showed the contract to Qi Cheng, he had a fatherly look on his face.

“Shanshan, you actually negotiated a contract on your own?” His artist was finally good at something else than scolding reporters and causing trouble. Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, “If I hadn’t fought for the contract, it might have ended up with Cheng Fanjing.”

Although Ming Yao and Cheng Fanjing had not reached an agreement yet, she could not tell if Cheng Fanjing would suddenly come to her senses and take the initiative to look for Ming Yao to express her goodwill.

Ming Yao probably would not quibble over such a matter. If she gave Cheng Fanjing a way out later, Cheng Fanjing would gain opportunity for the cover again.

When the time came, Lin Shanchu would be unable to do anything about it.

“You…” Qi Cheng had mixed feelings as he said, “So you took the initiative to talk to Ming Yao just to snatch the cover from Cheng Fanjing?”

“That’s right.” Showing an expression that hinted him to praise her, Lin Shanchu asked, “Did I do the right thing?”

Qi Cheng force a laugh and said one word reluctantly, “…Yes.”

As expected, he could not use an ordinary person’s mindset to figure out Lin Shanchu’s thoughts.

The next day, Lin Shanchu went to attend the read-through.

She saw a familiar black car as soon as she stepped out of the door.

The car window rolled down and Huo Xunzhou’s face appeared in sight.

“Get in the car.”

Lin Shanchu jogged over and asked, “Why are you here?”

“I’ll take you to the read-through.”

As Huo Xunzhou spoke, Li MO had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for Lin Shanchu.

After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou inquisitively and asked, “Are you so free?”

Huo Xunzhou looked at her calmly. “What could be more important than you?”

This sentence was so corny that Lin Shanchu felt a little embarrassed.

However, she quickly remembered that when she was still staying at the hotel, she deliberately teased him and asked him what was more important than her.

This joke was really unbearable.

Li MO, who was sitting in front, heard their conversation clearly. He was so shocked that he stepped on the gas pedal and the car shot out like an arrow.

Lin Shanchu was caught off guard and subconsciously held Huo Xunzhou’s hand tightly.

Huo Xunzhou reached out to support her and said lazily to Li MO, “Drive slowly.”

Li MO replied, “Okay, Big Brother.”

He did not want to drive fast either. He was just shocked by the sudden cornv words, so he lost control for a moment.

However, an experienced driver would never admit that he lost control and stepped on the gas pedal.

Lin Shanchu arrived at the venue of the read-through on time.

When the crew saw Huo Xunzhou coming along, they were all surprised.

The director was the first to react.

“President Huo, you’re here too?” he asked with a smile.

Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly and asked seriously in a joking tone, “Can’t the actresses from your crew bring their family members along?”

“Of course!” The director quickly said, “Of course they can! Hurry up and go in.

It’s about to start.”

Since Huo Xunzhou was present, so everyone was a little reserved when discussing the script.

During the intermission, the director walked over and asked Huo Xunzhou tentatively, “President Huo, do you have a lunch appointment?”

When Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him, he immediately explained, “Well, they were counting the number of people for lunch just now, so I came to ask…”

Ask?

However, the director looked as if he could not wait for Huo Xunzhou to leave.

The director really hoped that Huo Xunzhou would leave as soon as possible because everyone was too reserved with him around, which affected the progress.

Lin Shanchu could already tell the director’s intentions.

She looked up at Huo Xunzhou with interest, trying to see how he would respond.

“I don’t have any lunch appointment,” Huo Xunzhou replied calmly. “Oh…” The director was stunned for a moment. “I’ll go tell them.” The director’s back was filled with disappointment as he left.

Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and whispered into Huo Xunzhou’s ear.

“The director and the others are too embarrassed to drive you away, but are you really not going to leave?”

“I came here with my girlfriend. As a matter of course, I have to wait for her to finish her work before leaving together.”

Huo Xunzhou rested his chin on his hand and looked at Lin Shanchu with a smile.

Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and asked, “Do you really have nothing to do today?”

Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow at her and replied, “Wouldn’t it better to accompany you

“Are you sure you’re accompanying me?” Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and played with his fingers.

His fingers were well-proportioned and beautiful. Lin Shanchu could not bear to let go of them and took a closer look at them one by one.

Huo Xunzhou let her play with his hands and changed his tone gently. “I want you to accompany me.”

“Is that so?” Lin Shanchu looked up. Her eyes were as pure as a cat’s, without any emotion.

After Huo Xunzhou looked at her for a moment, the smile on his face gradually faded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s going to start. Let’s have lunch after reading this part.”

The director’s voice suddenly rang out, interrupting their conversation.

They had a box lunch ordered by the production team for lunch.

The director wanted to arrange for everyone to eat at a restaurant, but Huo Xunzhou tactfully refused.

Huo Xunzhou stayed by Lin Shanchu’s side the entire day, not leaving her side. Sometimes, he would listen to them discuss the script. Sometimes, he would find a book to pass the time.

He really looked like a man who was simply accompanying his girlfriend at work.

When they finished work at night, Li MO drove over to pick them up.

Huo Xunzhou had accompanied Lin Shanchu at work for the whole day, but Li MO did not follow him. She did not know what he was busy with.

No one spoke in the car. It was very quiet.

According to Huo Xunzhou’s usual habits, he would ask Lin Shanchu what she wanted for dinner.

Lin Shanchu leaned against the seat and asked slowly, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

Huo Xunzhou seemed to have snapped back to reality as he asked, “Can we eat at home?”

The house that Huo Xunzhou arranged for Lin Shanchu had a kitchen so that she could cook for herself.

“Sure, what do you want to eat?” Lin Shanchu chuckled. “We’ll buy some groceries on the way back.”

“Buying groceries?” Li MO had a keen ear. When he heard that the two of them were going to cook at home, he immediately replied, “Then I’ll drive to the supermarket now.”

Lin Shanchu’s cooking was the best!

The group bought some groceries and went home to cook.

After dinner, Huo Xunzhou had no intention of leaving.

The house was huge with bedrooms. Even if Huo Xunzhou wanted to stay, he would have a place to sleep.

However, it was not quite like Huo Xunzhou’s personality.

He was a man with a sense of propriety.

He Xiang and Qi Cheng also lived here. If it weren’t for the fact that Huo

Xunzhou had no choice, he would not have stayed the night here.

Huo Xunzhou had been acting strangely the entire day.

Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and said to Huo Xunzhou with a serious expression, “Let’s talk.”

The other three were perceptive. They quickly took care of the dishes and headed to the kitchen to clean up.

Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou to the balcony.

Huo Xunzhou looked up at the dark sky and said, “The weather will be good tomorrow.”

Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. “Don’t change the subject.”

Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and did not say anything, like a child who had done something wrong..
