"Maybe it’s because she likes him too much." Cheng Xizhou winked ambiguously at Fang Jinsu, "It was Teacher Xu who proposed to her boyfriend first, you know."
Fang Jinsu was even more shocked.
Soon, Xu Xingguang pushed Huo Wen’an onto the cruise ship.
"Director Zhen." Xu Xingguang introduced Huo Wen’an to Zhen Wang, "This is my fiancé, Huo Zui."
Zhen Wang was montarily taken aback by the na and instinctively asked, "Which ’Zui’ is that?"
Huo Wen’an replied, "The ’Zui’ that ans ’deeply sinful.’"
Zhen Wang thought: What kind of parents would give their child such an ominous na?
Zhen Wang then looked at Huo Wen’an’s legs, his expression slightly sympathetic, "About your legs..."
Huo Wen’an patiently explained, "My legs are fine. I’ve been unwell recently and lack strength, so traveling by wheelchair is more convenient."
Hearing this, Zhen Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen Wang looked at Xu Xingguang and asked her, "Teacher Xu, is this the boyfriend you ntioned last ti, the one who wanted to be my apprentice and learn photography from ?"
Xu Xingguang replied with a half-smile, "I only have one boyfriend, what do you think, Director Zhen?"
Director Zhen awkwardly rubbed his nose and instinctively glanced at Song Chi, who was following behind Xu Xingguang.
Initially, Director Zhen thought Xu Xingguang was involved with Huo Lan, but Xu Xingguang clarified this misunderstanding.
A few days ago, a man nad Song Chi arrived by Xu Xingguang’s side, sticking to her closely, leading many in the crew to believe Song Chi was Xu Xingguang’s kept young boyfriend.
Turns out, the real deal only showed up today.
Noticing Director Zhen’s aningful gaze, Xu Xingguang squeezed Huo Wen’an’s shoulder and softly explained, "Song Chi is my bodyguard."
"I know."
Huo Wen’an ca specially to West Continent City today mainly to see Xu Xingguang, and secondarily to et Song Chi.
After seeing Song Chi, Huo Wen’an was reassured.
He was a man, and he knew well how a man looks at the woman he likes. The man nad Song Chi looked at Xu Xingguang with respect but without affection.
Director Zhen’s gaze swept back and forth between Song Chi and Huo Wen’an’s faces, suddenly saying, "Are Mr. Song and Mr. Huo relatives?" Their facial expressions were quite similar.
Zhen Wang had never seen Huo Wen’an at his peak appearance. If he had, he would have thought so even more.
Now, Huo Wen’an, tornted by illness, had beco as thin as a rake, his facial features sapped, not even half as striking as his peak appearance.
This is also why colleagues in the crew who saw Huo Wen’an in person assud Xu Xingguang was seeking wealth, not true love.
It wasn’t the first ti soone said Song Chi looked like him, and Xu Xingguang had ntioned this to him before.
Huo Wen’an was very familiar with himself, so he didn’t find them to be similar. Hearing Director Zhen say this, Huo Wen’an stared at Song Chi’s face and studied it carefully.
Director Zhen said, "I’m a director. I’m best at capturing people’s facial features through the lens. While your facial features aren’t quite alike, the outline and shape of your eyes are remarkably similar."
"Are you two relatives?" Director Zhen thought, if they were indeed relatives, their family must be a high-appearance-value family.
Nodding, Huo Wen’an said, "We’ll be family." Once he marries Xu Xingguang, Song Chi would be family.
So saying they were family wasn’t incorrect.
Hearing this, Song Chi looked down at him, lost in thought.
"Director Zhen," Xu Xingguang smiled and said, "I’ll cook tonight. Would Director Zhen like to have a drink or two with us?"
This happiness ca too suddenly.
Before Zhen Wang responded, Cheng Xizhou and Fang Jinsu, seemingly with radar ears, imdiately leaned over and said in unison, "We’ll go too!"
Bai Xi also raised her hand, "Count in."
Zhen Wang added, " too."
"With so many people, my place won’t fit everyone."
Fang Jinsu suggested, "How about my place?"
Xu Xingguang didn’t imdiately agree but looked down to consult Huo Wen’an, "Do you have a house in West Continent City? If not, we can cook at Mr. Fang’s place."
Xu Xingguang cherished Huo Wen’an so much that anyone could see they were truly in love.
Director Zhen watched this scene with amusent, suddenly feeling a bit nostalgic for his own youthful days.
Huo Wen’an said, "Let’s go to Mr. Fang’s place. My place is too lonely and dull." The Huo Family has properties all over the world, and being the head, he could naturally stay in any of them.
But those houses are always being watched. Once he moves in, soon the whole of West Continent City would know about his whereabouts.
