Chapter 507: A Real Doozy

Just as Ma Haodong was thinking of backing out of the vehicle, Xu Xiyan squeezed in after him and said apologetically, “Sorry, Uncle, my friend’s car broke down. Can he hitch a ride with us?”
Ma Haodong: “…”
He was now seriously contemplating biting off his tongue and offing himself. He deeply regretted lying about his car.
Ma Haodong was in fact overthinking it. Huo Yunshen was nowhere near as terrifying as he imagined him to be.
The real Huo Yunshen was easy to get along with. He was friendly to everyone, so long as they didn’t try to provoke him or test his patience.
He considered a friend of Xu Xiyan’s to be a friend of his.
The forbidding look in Huo Yunshen’s eyes disappeared. He smiled pleasantly as he nonchalantly welcomed Ma Haodong into the RV: “Please, have a seat.”
“…”
Ma Haodong was stunned and flattered at the same time. He remained standing with a star-struck expression on his face; Xu Xiyan had to tap him on the shoulder and lead him over to the sofa to sit down.
The RV was now cruising down the road, but Ma Haodong was still nervous and uneasy. He could not relax. He did not know how to chat with the formidable man before him.
He exchanged a few words with Jing Xi, but spent most of the time listening to Jing Xi chat with Huo Yunshen.
He had seen the way Jing Xi and Huo Yunshen looked at each other, and was now 100% certain that they were in love.
Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen talked about the scenes she had shot for “Root of Evil” earlier that day. She’d had to fight against Ma Haodong—for real—in all of them.
Huo Yunshen was worried that Xu Xiyan would be injured during a fight scene. He looked at Ma Haodong and said, “Mr. Ma, please try to go easy on Jing Xi in the remaining fight scenes. I would be grateful if you would do your best to make sure she’s all right.”
Xu Xiyan’s heart warmed all over when she heard Huo Yunshen try to look out for her.
Ma Haodong nodded. “Yes, of course. You can count on me!”
Jing Xi’s kicks and punches had been on point in every scene so far. Most of the time, Ma Haodong had been the one getting pummeled.
Ma Haodong gave an embarrassed smile. He mustered the courage to ask, “By the way, President Huo—are you really Ni Yun? Did you compose all those pop songs that are all the rage these days?”
Huo Yunshen did not answer. His shimmering eyes looked towards Xu Xiyan, as though asking her: How’d he find out?
Xu Xiyan’s lips tightened apologetically as a helpless look crept over her face. She was saying: I didn’t mean to expose you, I’m so sorry.
Huo Yunshen did not blame her. If Ma Haodong already knew he was Ni Yun, he might as well come clean. “Yes, I’m Ni Yun. But I composed those songs for fun, really.”
He was Ni Yun!
Ma Haodong was now beyond excited. At the same time, he was amazed at the way Huo Yunshen had downplayed his accomplishments.
He was evidently a humble man, despite being the untouchable king of the business world.
Not everyone could achieve that level of humility and generosity.
As the RV continued to cruise along, Ma Haodong could not help marveling at Jing Xi and Huo Yunshen: they were truly an extraordinary couple.
Jing Xi had Huo Yunshen backing her—so why was she painstakingly eking a name out for herself by taking on stunt double roles and small supporting roles?
He could not understand why Xu Xiyan had not made full use of Yunhai Entertainment’s resources. After all, her boyfriend was the legendary Huo Yunshen!
Huo Yunshen was the former head of Yunhai Entertainment and the current CEO of the Huo Group. He was a busy, successful businessman, and now he was even making his own music!
Acting was the only thing Ma Haodong was any good at. He felt himself dwindle into insignificance in front of the supernaturally talented man before him. Life wasn’t fair!
The RV continued to speed along. Xu Xiyan asked, “Brother Dong, where do you want to get off?”
Ma Haodong looked out the window, and was surprised to see that they were actually passing through Xiao Yuqian’s neighborhood. He immediately asked for the car to pull over so he could get off and look for his darling Qianqian.
Unfortunately for him, Xiao Yuqian was working overtime at her company. Just then, the phone she had left on her desk began to ring.
She picked up her phone, saw that it was from Wan Dou, and took the call. “Hello?”
Wan Dou’s slightly anxious voice sounded over the phone. “President Xiao, have you checked the news online? There’s new gossip about our boss. What should we do? It’s a real doozy this time, I’m afraid Ms. Jing Xi might take it badly!”
