This Director Wasn't Someone to Mess With

"Could the one taking them in be the Huo family?"

The moment Lu Fei heard that through the phone, he was stunned. "How did you know?"

The next second, he seemed to realize something and immediately switched to a teasing tone. "Ah, I get it now. No wonder everyone's shipping you with Huo Wenye. So it wasn't baseless after all."

"Tell me! When did you two hook up?! Why didn't you tell me? Are we even friends anymore?!"

"Hello? Are you listening?!"

Lu Fei pulled the phone away from his ear and held it in front of his face.

"He actually hung up?!"

His childhood friend was good in every way, except he still hadn't outgrown his college-student immaturity.

Every now and then, he revealed a kind of pure stupidity.

Heh.

Did he look crazy?!

Why would he go and hook up with someone that dangerous?!

He believed whatever the netizens said!

Xie Chen slipped his phone back into his pocket, intending to ignore Huo Wenye beneath the tree and leave to find the other villains.

But the moment he lifted his foot, a chilly voice drifted over from nearby. "Come here."

Xie Chen raised a hand and pointed at his own nose, looking thoroughly confused, only to see the top star's head nod with great condescension.

"..."

Was he calling a dog over?!

Did he really think I had no dignity at all?!

Whoever wanted to go could go. I wasn't going!

So, the very next second, Xie Chen braced one hand against the thick tree trunk and asked with a wandering gaze, "What do you want with me?!"

He had long mastered the saying that a wise man submitted to circumstances during his quick-transmigration days!

Lowering his head a little before the powerful was merely a temporary measure!
