The Long-awaited Mr Han

It's rather funny hearing a fool calling someone else foolish.

She was such a goofball, yet she dared to call someone else goofy.

Han Zhuoling's eyes shone with a rare smile. His crinkling eye corners softened his whole aura.

The slight lift on the corners of his mouth also made him look less stern.

A pity Shi Xiaoya had her eyes closed in frustration, therefore missing the change on Han Zhuoling.

When she finally opened her eyes, she dared not lift her head and her face was flushed red. "Sorry for the interruption!"

When she was done, she almost wanted to bow to Han Zhuoling.

Fortunately, she thought that that move was too wimpy, so she gritted her teeth and rushed past Han Zhuoling with her head lowered.

She was gone like the wind. Han Zhuoling merely blinked and she had already disappeared from sight.

Han Zhuoling: "…"

Haha, he bumped into a goofball today.

But… was that fool trying to confess to him?

Han Zhuoling rubbed his chin. He never expected that he would gain a young lady's fancy when he'd just returned from abroad.

Interesting.

Han Zhuoling chuckled and shook his head before reverting back to his usual stern self.

Luckily, Shi Xiaoya could still find her way back. She returned to her seat with her head kept low.

Cris did not notice at first, still preoccupied with his conversation.

He realized she was keeping her head bowed only when he turned back to look at her.

"What is it? Why is your head so low?" Cris asked curiously.

Shi Xiaoya was still yet to recover from her embarrassment.

Frankly, she had never been so abashed in her life before.

Cris saw that she refused to lift her head nor reply to him after repeatedly trying to get her attention, and he was beginning to get worried. "Xiaoya, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Seeing that her head was still lowered, Cris assumed that she was crying and began to get anxious. "What happened?"

"Aiya, it's nothing." Shi Xiaoya saw that he was mistaken and looked up.

Seeing that she wasn't crying and nor did she look bullied, Cris let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Why is your face so red?" Cris asked curiously.

Shi Xiaoya covered her face. "It's fine, I just did something really embarrassing just now."

Cris raised his brow in interest. "What embarrassing thing? Tell this brother of yours so I can have a laugh over it."

"Sheesh!" Shi Xiaoya pushed him aside.

When Han Zhuoling saw Shi Xiaoya and Cris "flirting" with each other as he entered the room, his face darkened before he returned to his seat.

Han Zhuoli had seen that Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei was still with Lu Man so he never went over.

Just then, he saw Han Zhuoling walking over with a grim expression, like he wasn't happy about something.

Both of them arrived right after each other. What could have upset Han Zhuoling?

"Big Brother?" Han Zhuoli called out uncertainly.

"It's nothing," Han Zhuoling said as he glanced coolly towards Shi Xiaoya's direction.

She and Cris were sitting together and talking. Though they stopped play-fighting, the way they spoke to each other displayed the closeness and good chemistry between them.

Over at Lu Man's side, Wang Juhuai sat at the side waiting for a young actor named Li Zhengqin, who was supposed to be here, to come over.

Seeing that Wang Juhuai was sitting on his seat, the young actor was both flustered and flattered.

Probably feeling more flattered, since it was Wang Juhuai who was sitting at his place!

Others wanted to chat with Wang Juhuai but had no idea how to approach him.

Wasn't this an opportunity for him?

Li Zhengqin hurried over. "Hello, Mr. Wang, hello! I'm Li Zhengqin. Never thought that I would bump into you here tonight, it's such an honor."
