Chapter 329: Chapter 116: All Bark and No Bite (Part 3)
He doesn’t want to attract attention.
"Alright then." Xu Xingguang tells Fang Jinsu, "We’ll have dinner at Mr. Fang’s house tonight."
Fang Jinsu smiles sincerely, "You’re all welcome to come over."
He wants to have a good relationship with Xu Xingguang, eager for her to visit his home.
"Director Zhen, my A Zui is quite interested in photography, so today let him sit behind the monitor with you and learn a thing or two. Meanwhile, you can use this chance to assess his skills."
"Who knows, maybe he’ll perform well and you two will end up as master and apprentice?"
Xu Xingguang’s words are so charming that Zhen Wang can’t find a reason to refuse.
When it comes to work, Zhen Wang becomes very serious. He tells Huo Wen’an, "Learning beside me is fine, but don’t disturb me." He especially hates it when people mumble around him while he’s working; it’s very annoying.
"Alright, then I’ll trouble you."
Zheng Lie also boarded the yacht with Huo Wen’an, but when he tries to lower his presence, almost no one notices him.
Therefore, when Xu Xingguang finds him at the smoking area at the back of the boat with a bottle of mineral water, he’s a bit surprised.
"Have some water; it’s pretty hot." Xu Xingguang specifically chose a bottle of cold water for Zheng Lie.
Zheng Lie takes the cold water with both hands and thanks her in a muffled voice: "Thank you, Miss Xu." He almost called her ’Madam’.
Xu Xingguang notices but doesn’t feel embarrassed; instead, she eagerly asks him, "How’s Fearless doing on the island?"
Zheng Lie thinks seriously before saying, "It’s living leisurely."
"Oh?" Xu Xingguang asks curiously, "What do you mean by leisurely?"
Zheng Lie truthfully tells Xu Xingguang everything he sees every day. "Its villa isn’t completed yet, so it’s living together with Pilot. Throughout the entire estate, except for restricted areas, it can come and go as it pleases."
"Not only that, the fruits and vegetables it eats are green foods specially cultivated on the island, pollution-free. Every three days, professional technicians give it a bath and a massage. Every afternoon, a trainer takes it for training."
"What do they train?"
Zheng Lie says, "Recognizing toxic substances, learning to refuse food, swimming for survival..."
Xu Xingguang listens in awe, "Is your Pilot training Fearless to become an elite pig warrior?"
Zheng Lie is silent for a moment before saying, "Pilot treats Fearless like a child." Zheng Lie can’t imagine what kind of pampering Pilot would give his children if he ever had any.
"It sounds like Fearless’s life on the island is colorful." Xu Xingguang almost wants to go to the island as a pig, just to eat and drink all day.
Zheng Lie takes a sip of water and suddenly says, "It’s been quite lively on the island recently. Mrs. Huo invited many young guests over. If Miss Xu isn’t busy, you could visit the island, Fearless misses you."
Xu Xingguang understands Zheng Lie’s implication.
He is telling Xu Xingguang that Mrs. Huo is certain that Huo Wen’an doesn’t have much time left, so she has invited all the marriage prospects she picked for him to stay on Divine Concealment Island.
Zheng Lie hopes Xu Xingguang will go to the island to assert her presence.
"Sure, I’ll go when I have time."
After getting off the boat, Zheng Lie pushes Huo Wen’an’s wheelchair and helps him onto the island.
Xu Xingguang carries a laptop and a pot of Arhat Fruit Tea, walking side by side with Huo Wen’an.
Huo Wen’an suddenly asks Xu Xingguang, "Xingguang, you’ve met Zheng Lie before. Is he good-looking?"
Zheng Lie’s expression turns slightly tense, and he feels like running away.
Xu Xingguang tilts her head to carefully scrutinize Zheng Lie’s face and objectively comments, "Not as handsome as you were at the peak of your acting career, but compared to you now, he is indeed a bit better-looking."
Zheng Lie suddenly lets go of Huo Wen’an’s wheelchair, "I need to go to the restroom, Miss Xu, please take care of Mr. Huo for a moment." Zheng Lie quickly escapes, not wanting to stick around as the target of their argument.
Seeing Zheng Lie slip away so fast, Xu Xingguang comments, "He’s pretty quick-witted too."
Huo Wen’an: "Ha."
All day long, Huo Wen’an follows Zhen Wang to observe and learn.
Zhen Wang hates talking while working, only giving directions when an actor’s performance is poor.
He thought his patience with solitude was enough, but he didn’t expect Huo Wen’an’s endurance to be even greater.
"You sit there quietly for half a day without even playing on your phone; don’t you feel bored?" Zhen Wang takes the initiative to talk to Huo Wen’an.
Huo Wen’an stares at the monitor in front of Zhen Wang and says, "I’m used to being alone." Locked in a cell by Mrs. Huo, sometimes for two to three days, Huo Wen’an got used to solitude.
Even now as an adult, with many minions around him, he hasn’t changed this habit.
