Chapter 72: Luckily, He Came
Editor: Larbre Studio
The real Ma Haodong had a pride that surrounded him, the pride of a silver-spoon kid. Becoming an actor was purely an extension of a hobby.
But he did not let pride get in the way of acting. He had a reputation for working hard and being nice to others.
Now that the rich kid was trying to give Xu Xiyan a lift, she did not want to owe him anything.
"It's alright, I can get back myself. Thank you."
"Come on, aren't we friends?"
"N-no. We are friends, it's just…" Just as Xu Xiyan was thinking up of an excuse, her phone rang. It was Huo Yunshen. "One minute, I have to get this call."
"Sure thing." Ma Haodong didn't mind being patient.
Huo Yunshen told Xu Xiyan to turn around. She did as he asked, and saw his luxurious van waiting not far away.
Oh my, just in time!
Xu Xiyan hung up the phone and turned back toward Ma Haodong. "Sorry, my boyfriend is here to pick me up. Goodbye."
She took her bag and jogged towards the van. Ma Haodong's eyes followed her until she climbed into the super luxurious van and it drove away.
He scratched his chin and wondered, Wait, she has a boyfriend?
In that van?
Ma Haodong looked at his Ferrari. Of course, the Ferrari was eye-catching, but somehow the luxurious van made it look like a broken down car.
…
Xu Xiyan sat on the sofa and looked at the handsome man sitting in the wheelchair.
What kind of good deed did I do in my past life for the movie king to come and pick me up?!
If Huo Yunshen knew that, even after the "husband" incident a few days ago, she'd called him her boyfriend today, he might be kept up all night laughing with delight.
But the fact was, his face was unsmiling. He'd just seen Xu Xiyan talking to another guy who was driving a Ferrari and was trying to offer her a ride.
He was in a bad mood.
"The guy in the Ferrari, is he your boyfriend?"
Shocked by his question, Xu Xiyan quickly explained. "No, no. We both acted in "The Root of Evil." We had some fighting scene together when I was a stunt double. He was offering me a ride home, but I wasn't sure how to reject him. Luckily, you called at the right time."
After she'd finished her explanation, Xu Xiyan thought to herself, Wait, why am I explaining so much?
Why am I afraid of Huo Yunshen mistaking it for something else?
"I see." Huo Yunshen's face began to slowly soften, his gentle smile returning to his face.
Luckily I was there! No way I'm giving Xu Xiyan up to some guy in a Ferrari.
Xu Xiyan noticed Huo Yunshen had loosened up and asked, "Did you come all the way here just to pick me up, Mr. Huo?"
"Of course not. I was on my way back when I saw you come out."
There was no way he was going to tell her he'd waited for two hours just to give her a ride home.
Huh, what a coincidence. Xu Xiyan scratched her head and said, "I'll go back myself next time. What if we were caught by paparazzi? It could become a scandal again."
"Then let it be," Huo Yunshen replied. It's not bad to have a scandal with you anyway.
He even hoped that the gossipers were right about their relationship.

"Huh?"
Xu Xiyan could not believe what she'd just heard.
Wouldn't the rumors stain his reputation?
"Don't worry. If there are rumors, I'll deal with it." Huo Yunshen looked at her intently. He had a professional public relations team backing him at Yunhai Entertainment, and there was nothing they couldn't handle.
"Oh!"
But Xu Xiyan felt something was amiss. If his public relations team was working to remove the rumors, why was the one about the "loving wife" incident at the hospital still spreading?
Huo Yunshen noticed that Xu Xiyan was smiling lightly and asked her, "Jing Xi, how was your first day of shoot of 'Red Sleeved Beauty?' Want me to go greet the director and the crew?"
"Oh, no, no, please don't. There's no need to go greet them. The first day went very well and I did fine." Xu Xiyan didn't want any of his help or to rely on him.
The only real issue was the disgusting woman, Xu Xinrou. But Xu Xiyan was not afraid of her and she was confident that she could handle it.
Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan had a pleasant conversation during the trip. Today the main reason Huo Yunshen had come to pick up Xu Xiyan was to help her move into her new house.
When they arrived at the Blueberry Community, Huo Yunshen stayed in the van and ordered Yi Xiao to go with Xu Xiyan to help her with her luggage, but Xu Xiyan refused him.
"No, it's all right. I don't have much luggage and I can get it myself."
Xu Xiyan dashed straight up the stairs. She didn't want Yi Xiao to follow her as there would be a misunderstanding if Fang Xiaocheng saw him.
Xu Xiyan had the key to Fang Xiaocheng's house. Instead of knocking on the door, she unlocked the door herself, changed into a pair of house shoes and entered.
As soon as she walked into the small living room, she heard some strange sounds coming out from the bedroom. She perked up her ears and listened closely, then immediately blushed.
Oh my god! Are they "wrestling" at home in broad daylight!?
Is this a bad time to be back?
Xu Xiyan did not want to disturb Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi. She tiptoed into the other room, packed up her and Ying Bao's belongings, and left the room quietly.
The kinky noises from the other room continued. Xu Xiyan decided that she should leave right away. She could always come back later and tell Fang Xiaocheng that she'd been by for her belongings—
She accidentally dropped her box onto the floor.
Fang Xiaocheng spoke in the other room. "I think I heard something."
Wang Dazhi replied, "Nah, that was probably nothing. Come on, Chengcheng…"
Fang Xiaocheng was getting worried.
"Dazhi, I think I really heard something. What if there are burglars in the house? Should we go check?"
Xu Xiyan: "…"
Xu Xiyan couldn't comprehend Fang Xiaocheng's logic. There were two living people in the house. Why would a thief break into the house in broad daylight?
Wang Dazhi was still indifferent. "Don't bother! Just let them steal whatever they want! Besides, you're the most valuable thing in the house! It's fine as long they don't take you away!"
Xu Xiyan: "…"
Oh God, do they have to show off how lovey-dovey they are?
She also realized how wise it was for her to move away. It would've been torture to stay in this house and watch their displays of affection every day.
When she got downstairs, Yi Xiao saw her and immediately took the boxes from her arms.
Xu Xiyan followed Yi Xiao back to the van and returned to sit beside Huo Yunshen.
Huo Yunshen noticed that her cheeks were red like fire and touched her forehead with the back of his hand.
"Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
