Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

90

Then, the door of the BMW opened and Lisa was the first to get out before she opened up the door to the backseat.

The slender legs of the young man were the first out of the car, before the rest of his body.

He had on a black baseball jacket and black pants. At first glance, he even looked a little vicious.

But, his expression immediately softened the next minute.

He handed a bag over to Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan took the bag from him and opened it up. Inside were chocolates and donuts. They smelled good and probably were freshly made, but...

Zhong Yuhuan shook her head and said, "Chengming-ge ge is such a straight man."

It was apparent that Huo Chengming wasn't quite certain about the meaning of that. He stared at Zhong Yuhuan. There was a shred of anxiousness in his vicious look. "Eh? What does that mean?"

Zhong Yuhuan shook her head again and said, "It's a compliment."

Lisa, standing beside them, smiled and said, "The gift that Mr. Huo prepared for Miss Zhong would cause her to gain weight. Girls are always worried about gaining weight."

Immediately, Huo Chengming didn't know what to do. He reached out to take the bag back, but felt that it was wrong to take a gift back. Now his hand was just hanging there in midair and he explained dryly, "I didn't know... I didn't think about that..."

"It's alright. Having it once in a while won't make me gain weight. They smell really good." As she was talking, she pulled out a wet towelette from her purse and wiped her hands before she reached inside the back, cracked open a slit on the transparent, plastic box, pulled out a truffle ,and sucked on it.

"Sweet," said Zhong Yuhuan as she smiled and squinted her eyes. "Having sweets make one happy."

As she was talking, she pulled out another one and brought it over next to Huo Chengming's mouth.

Her fingers were a little warm and soft. Huo Chengming paused for a bit and opened his mouth reflexively. Carefully, he bit the truffle while avoiding her fingers.

This wasn't a good choice; it was a piece of dark chocolate and bitter.

But when the bitterness hit his tongue, it seemed to be converting into sweetness slowly.

Huo Chengming dared not even chew on it but just have it in his mouth. He slurred, "Mmm, it's sweet."

Zhong Yuhuan turned to Li Jinyuan and asked, "You want?"

Li Jinyuan stared at her fingers for a little and smiled, "Yes, I want Huanhuan to pick one out for me. I'm not worried about getting fat."

"Nonsense, you are a model. Of course you worry about getting fat. Just one, okay?" said Zhong Yuhuan as she fished out another truffle.

She walked up a few steps, stopped in front of Li Jinyuan, and produced a truffle in front of his lips.

Li Jinyuan, too, carefully took the truffle with his teeth.

This one tasted even worse than the last. It was a piece of white chocolate. It was already sweet enough all by itself. Li Jinyuan had it in his mouth, he could taste its sweetness without even chewing. The sweetness took over his mouth, throat, and all his organ... as though his entire body was soaked in syrup. So sweet that he couldn't even resist.

Zhong Yuhuan hadn't noticed that at all.

She pushed the bag slightly toward Lisa and smiled, "Even though Lisa also needs to watch her weight like me, you must try one too."

Lisa smiled and waved her hand, "No, it's alright. This wasn't easy to get. There were a lot of tourists and the quantity was limited. It wasn't easy for Mr. Huo to get a small bag of these. Miss Zhong should keep them to herself."

Zhong Yuhuan didn't want to be too forceful, so she just nodded and put the bag away.

She did, however, noticed something else.

Lisa's attitude toward Huo Chengming seemed to be even more respectful than before.
