Chapter 427:Who Else in Capital City Can Harm Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu’s eyes instantly brightened with excitement. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

“When is it?”

“Next Friday, December 26th.”

Huo Xunzhou put down the chopsticks and silently stared at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu blinked innocently and said, “Let’s go together.”

“Alright.” Huo Xunzhou knew her purpose of attending Tang Qidai’s engagement party.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and neither of them said it out loud.

…

There were many events at the end of the year.

Lin Shanchu was busy rushing around for events for the next few days.

She met Huo Chaosheng, whom she had not seen for a long time, at a brand’s year-end celebration.

Huo Chaosheng was dressed in a tailor-made suit and stood there elegantly, looking like a rich and noble young master.

Lin Shanchu waved at him through the crowd.

“Huo Chaosheng!”

The scene was crowded and noisy. Huo Chaosheng raised his head and looked around before he found Lin Shanchu.

When he saw Lin Shanchu, he was no longer excited as before and only smiled lightly at her.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously. Then, she averted her gaze and continued with her work.

When she returned backstage after the brand event ended, she sent Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message to mention this matter.

Lin Shanchu: [Did something happen to Huo Chaosheng recently?]

Huo Xunzhou: [No.]

Lin Shanchu: [But he didn’t look like he was in good spirits.]

Huo Xunzhou: [Maybe he’s too busy at the end of the year.]

When Lin Shanchu was filming at the film set for the past few months, Huo Chaosheng probably felt bored and took on a lot of work.

He was originally a famous member from a top-notch international boy band with great topicality, job opportunities and audience appeal. If he wanted to take on a job, all the project and brand owners would scramble to send him invitations.

It was normal for Huo Chaosheng to be too busy.

That was the logic, but still Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Huo Xunzhou was also busy at the end of the year, so he went to the meeting after chatting with her for a while.

“Shanshan, it’s time to head for the next event,” said Number 1357 as he walked towards her after packing the things.

Number 1357 was thick-skinned. Lin Shanchu did not want to bring him along when she went out, so he shamelessly got into the car and stole a lot of He Xiang’s work.

As a result, He Xiang could only become Lin Shanchu’s chauffeur and carry her bags, doing some easy work that made her feel guilty even when she received her salary.

He Xiang looked at Number 1357 with a little resentment and said, “Sister Lin, let’s go.”

As soon as the three of them left the entrance, they met Huo Chaosheng, who was walking over from the other end. Huo Chaosheng was followed by a group of imposing-looking people, comprising bodyguards and assistants.

Huo Xunzhou also arranged bodyguards for Lin Shanchu. She saw that there were security guards at the entrance and there were many people at the scene, so she did not let the bodyguards follow her.

Huo Chaosheng was wearing sunglasses while he was being surrounded by a group of people. Lin Shanchu could not see his expression clearly, so she stood there and waited for him to come over.

They were once partners in crime after all, so she should be concerned about his recent situation.

After Huo Chaosheng came closer, he took off his sunglasses and looked at her with droopy eyes. “Why are you standing here?” 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

“Waiting for you.” Lin Shanchu’s voice rose slightly in a light tone.

Huo Chaosheng’s face showed a flattered expression that was familiar to Lin Shanchu.

He asked with a smile, “You have business with me?”

“I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I’m just concerned about you,” Lin Shanchu said as she slowly walked out.

Huo Chaosheng took smaller steps than before and accommodated Lin Shanchu’s speed, walking side by side with her.

“You weren’t so kind in the past.” He sounded like he was complaining about her, but there was no hint of resentment in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of a smile.

“That’s because you used to look normal, unlike now…” Lin Shanchu weighed her words before she turned to look at him and said, “You’re much thinner than before.”

“You even noticed this?” Huo Chaosheng had a rare look of surprise on his face.

Lin Shanchu tugged at his empty-looking sleeve and said disdainfully, “It’s easy to notice it.”

Huo Chaosheng had always been strict about his body shape, so he was already thin enough. If he were to slim down a little more, it would be abnormally obvious.

Huo Chaosheng unconvincingly retorted, “You’re a bit fatter, aren’t you?”

Lin Shanchu stared at him expressionlessly.

Huo Chaosheng’s smile deepened as he laughed happily. “You’ve been going to the gym often in the past few months, haven’t you? Your arms are toned.”

Lin Shanchu was wearing a strapless gown. Her slender and strong arms with beautiful muscle tone were exposed, revealing the light traces of training.

“Did something happen to you?” Lin Shanchu did not change the topic because of his interruption.

Huo Chaosheng paused and shook his head with a smile. “What could have happened to me? Who else in Capital City can harm me?”

“Oh,” Lin Shanchu said, feeling that what he said made sense.

“Besides, when others mention me, they have to call me Young Master Huo. Who wouldn’t show respect to Young Master Huo?”

Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

However, before she had time to carefully distinguish them, the two of them had already walked to the gate.

They were going to attend different events later.

Before she got into the car, Huo Chaosheng suddenly called out to her, “Lin Shanchu!”

Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that Huo Chaosheng had removed his usual fake smile in front of outsiders, showing a serious and gloomy expression.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Shanchu stared at him for two seconds.

“How about we dine together after you’re done?” Huo Chaosheng’s expression was unprecedentedly serious.

“Alright.” Lin Shanchu guessed that he had something important to tell her.

Huo Chaosheng waved at her and urged her. “Get in the car.”

After Lin Shanchu got into the car, she noticed that Number 1357 kept looking back at Huo Chaosheng.

Number 1357 turned around and met Lin Shanchu’s scrutinizing gaze. Then, he said softly, “I think you and Huo Chaosheng look like a couple.”

She was confused.

Was this system out of its mind?

Lin Shanchu frowned as she asked, “How do robots like you fix a broken brain? Call for an engineer?”

“First of all, I’m not a robot. Our system is different from a robot. Secondly, my brain is not broken.”

After Number 1357 finished explaining seriously, Lin Shanchu looked at him like he was an idiot. Then, he finally responded. “Are you calling me sick?”

Lin Shanchu gave him a look to let him experience it for himself.

Number 1357 was bereft of speech.

He Xiang noticed that Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 had been whispering to each other, but she did not clearly hear the content of the conversation. Now that the two of them had finally quieted down, she said to Lin Shanchu, “Sister Lin, there’s still half an hour before we arrive. You should rest for a while.”

“Alright.”

…

Lin Shanchu was busy until the day before December 26th.

In order to settle the score with Tang Qidai at the Cheng family’s engagement party, she had to free up December 26th in advance.
