Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

"Let's wait for a bit, it shouldn't take too long." Zhong Yuhuan looked over at Li Jinyuan's direction just at the same time he was looking over in her direction. He picked up his pace as he walked toward her. Towards the end, he ran the remainder of the way until he was standing in front of Zhong Yuhuan.

"Here!" said Zhong Yuhuan as she handed over the food to him.

Li Jinyuan took the food from her and grabbed it tightly in his hands. With a shy look, he said to her, "Thank you, Huanhuan."

Zhong Yuhuan turned and started walking out. As she was walking, she couldn't help but grumble, "Why are both of you referring to me like that now?"

"Is something wrong with that?" asked Li Jinyuan as he followed and completely forgot about the girl behind him.

"Well, no, nothing is wrong...." Zhong Yuhuan sighed. It's just that... she had wanted to be the older sister.

The three of them slowly walked and waited in the street for the chauffeur to come pick them up.

As soon as they got home, the first thing Zhong Yuhuan did was to send Li Jinyuan upstairs to eat his dinner and Huo Chengming to do his homework.

Xu Yushan sat on the couch, looking tired.

As it wasn't going to go anywhere with Young Master Nan, she immediately asked Zhong Chi to set her up with other wealthy young men. Even though there were a lot of wealthy young men out there, there weren't any that wanted to have a relationship with her. Those who were older than her were already done with their crazy days and were just looking for someone of their same caliber or one from an even more prominent family to marry. As for the ones younger than her, sure, a few wouldn't mind being in bed with her, but almost none of them saw her as marriage material.

Xu Yushan had a bad day today.

After her meeting today, the man straight up left a message on her Weibo saying, "You are cut from the same cloth as your mother. We can have fun together, but to get married? You must be kidding."

Xu Yushan used to think that Ding Ruxue, Zhong Chi's first wife was from a prominent family, but it was her mother, Xu Yunhui, who had the last laugh. That went to show that even though Ding Ruxue was born into a prominent family and was pretty, neither one of those things did her any good. Back then Xu Yushan was contend, even proud.

It was only now when she finally realized that her status didn't bring her glory, but a smudge that would follow her for life....

When she saw Zhong Yuhuan and Huo Chengming returning home, she couldn't maintain her smile anymore.

Zhong Yuhuan casted her a glance, reached for her phone, and dialed Lang Jinzhi right in front of Xu Yushan.

Lang Jinzhi just came out of a meeting when Secretary Cheng handed him his cellphone and mouthed the words, "Miss Zhong."

Lang Jinzhi paused for a second.

It had been a while since he had heard from Zhong Yuhuan.

Lang Jinzhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

Oddly, he didn't have much feeling when Zhong Yuhuan was wrecking havocs left and right.

Now that she was behaving herself and he stopped hearing news about her, he felt odd. Especially when he was signing documents with the pen that she gave him. He felt almost a little bit of emptiness.

Lang Jinzhi gripped the cell phone tightly.

Did she need a doctor appointment again?
