Chapter 42 - Thank You, Second Young Master Huo, For Your Help

Huo Jinqi saw Xing Jiuan from afar.

He was about to leave the country. He had come here this time to meet a friend. Unexpectedly, he ran into Xing Jiuan and saw that she was being pestered. He immediately got out of the car.

Xing Jiuan usually wore clothes that were made of comfortable material and were not branded. Furthermore, she had taken a taxi here, so she was naturally considered easy to bully by these paparazzi.

Actually, not all paparazzi were like this. Perhaps it was because Xing Jiuan was unlucky to have bumped into those people in the industry who were known as malignant tumors.

Xing Jiuan had learned to restrain herself. However, her master had always taught her to do as she pleased. If she was provoked, she had to return the favor.

If she could not win alone, she could look for her senior brothers and sisters. Whatever the matter was, she must not lose out.

They were that unreasonable and terrifyingly protective.

When Xing Jiuan saw Huo Jinqi coming over, she immediately raised her hand and hit the camera out of the reporter's grip.

Huo Jinqi seemed to be surprised. He kept walking over.

Something was wrong.

In her previous life, they said that heiresses of wealthy families had to be well-mannered, dignified, and elegant. They could not fight like hooligans.

Huo Jinqi was indeed frowning. But why did he seem so worried about her?

Xing Jiuan lowered her eyes and felt that she was overthinking.

She looked at the food in her hands. She had bought soup. Sigh, she hoped it wouldn't spill.

As the man cursed and was about to reach out to hit her, Xing Jiuan kicked him in the stomach.

The man cried out in pain and took a few steps back. When he looked at Xing Jiuan again, there was some fear in his eyes.

Xing Jiuan did not use her full strength. Although this matter was not difficult to resolve, she did not want to cause any trouble.

At this moment, Huo Jinqi arrived. He held Xing Jiuan's wrist and pulled her to his side, looking at her worriedly. After confirming that she was fine, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Xing Jiuan retracted her hand indifferently.

Huo Jinqi then looked at the men opposite him.

He knew who they were. When he first debuted, he had interacted with this company before.

If someone really wanted to debut from their secretly-taken photos, they would have to pay a large sum of money and sign with their agency.

They were already very famous in the industry. However, they were also involved in a lot of things behind the scenes. They did not have an ordinary background. They were feared by many and, hence, they had become even more lawless.

Back then, they had offended Huo Jinqi. Although they had only paid a small price, they did not provoke Huo Jinqi again after that. Huo Jinqi did not bother about them either from then on.

Knowing Huo Jinqi's identity, these people asked carefully, "Second Young Master Huo, you two are…?"

"Didn't I warn you not to touch people you shouldn't touch?" Huo Jinqi's voice was very cold. He did not mention the camera that Xing Jiuan had destroyed.

Xing Jiuan glanced at Huo Jinqi and then at the food in her hands. It had been a while since she'd bought them. They would no longer taste good once they'd cooled.

She did not want to bother about what was going on anymore and was about to leave.

Huo Jinqi reached out, wanting to grab her, but he carefully retracted his hand. "Jiuan," he called out softly.

He still remembered Xing Jiuan's dissatisfaction with the name "Yanyan."

Xing Jiuan stopped but did not turn back. "Although it wasn't necessary, thank you, Second Young Master Huo, for your help." After saying that, she left without a pause.

Huo Jinqi's eyes were filled with pain. He looked at the people in front of him. "I will personally seek for an explanation regarding this matter."

With that, unbothered by their expressions, he directly entered the district.

Xing Jiuan had gone in as well.. However, when Huo Jinqi entered, Xing Jiuan had already disappeared.
