The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 8.1

Genius Artist – Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO

The others couldn't help but stare at each other in confusion when they heard Huo Lian's words.

That little caddie would address Huo Lian as 'uncle' according to seniority?

They didn't seem to be that far apart in age, what kind of seniority was it according to?

They understood after a bit of thought.

There was only one person who can call the second master 'uncle' . . .

The future heir to the Huos— Huo Qi.

Could this boy be Huo Qi's person?

The gazes trained on Lu Shijin became more complex.

Although he was in a caddie uniform, his face wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was so attractive that it could take down anyone and everyone!

Huo Qi taking a fancy to him was reasonable.

President Chen stared at Lu Shijin with suspicion for a while, then suddenly laughed with disdain.

“Huo Lian, stop trying to trick me! Who doesn't know that young master Huo is the cleanest person in this circle. Did you think that you could bring a random person over, saying that they have some sort of relationship, and make us believe it? Do you think you can pour dirty water over him so easily?”

Huo Lian slightly raised his eyebrow, “It's your business if you want to believe it or not.”

President Chen asked Lu Shijin, “You, do you know Huo Qi?”

Lu Shijin frowned, his expression showing his struggle. He gently pulled on Huo Lian's sleeve.

Huo Lian glanced at him, “Say whatever you want.”

Lu Shijin shook his head, pitifully saying, “I can't. He told me not to bring up our relationship with each other to other people.”

Huo Lian looked at President Chen with a faint smile, “Did you hear that? Someone won't let him say it. Is President Chen going to cause trouble for a child?”

President Chen frowned. He glared fiercely at Huo Lian, then left with a wave of his hand.

Although this caddie really suited his taste in all aspects, it was better to be safe than sorry for these situations.

If he really belonged to Huo Qi, he definitely couldn't touch him.

He could disregard Huo Lian, but he can't afford to offend Huo Qi.

“Thank you for getting me out of the situation.” Lu Shijin quietly thanked Huo Lian, “This is already the second time you've helped me, thank you very much.”

“No problem. After all, Huo Lian's your boyfriend, so I should take care of you.”

Huo Lian lifted the corners of his mouth. He originally wanted to give Lu Shijin the benevolent smile of an elder toward the younger generation.

However, because he rarely smiled, his control of his expression wasn't that good. His smile ended up looking more like a sneer than anything else.

Lu Shijin swallowed, complaining to 711, “I still think he looks better when he's not smiling. His smile is too fucking horrifying, makes me get chills down my back.”

“So why are you aiming to become closer to him?”

“I can't tell you right now . . . But rest assured, I'm not going to look for trouble with Huo Qi and his precious mistress.”

711: I believe in your evil! [you_evil_old_man.jpg]

Once they were far enough away, Huo Lian asked Lu Shijin, “Are you really a caddy here?”

Lu Shijin hurriedly nodded.

Suspicion flashed in Huo Lian's eyes. “Really? You're with Huo Qi, yet he'd still let you come to work?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shijin raised his head with anger evident in his eyes. It seemed as though he was offended by what Huo Lian said.

“I'm with him because I love him, there's no other reason! I know that he's rich, but that has no relation to me! I don't want his money either!”

The gaze Huo Lian used to look at Lu Shijin slightly changed, from the original suspicion to disbelief.

It's already the 21st century, but a fool who believes that true love triumphs all and doesn't want money still exists?

What a careless person, no wonder my nephew has him in the palm of his hand. He's counting money for the person who sold him.

But since he's so careless, it makes it easier to set things up.

“What's your name?” Huo Lian asked.

“Lu Shijin, the 'lu' from 'land' (lu di) and the 'shijin' from 'even to this day' (shi zhi jin ri).”

“Mn,” said Huo Lian. “You didn't need to overreact so much, I was just asking. Don't take it to heart.”

“Can you play golf?” Huo Lian took out a golf club from the golf bag Lu Shijin was carrying and weighed it in his hand.

Lu Shijin shook his head, “No.”

Huo Lian frowned, “No? Then how did you get accepted here?”

Lu Shijin lowered his head in embarrassment. “The manager said that it's fine if I can't play, I just need to smile at the guests.”

The reason for this was clear. Lu Shijin didn't need to explain.

“You don't have to come here to work in the future.” Huo Lian lightly said, “If you want to be with Huo Qi, then you need to pay attention to your status.”

Lu Shijin felt a little wronged, “But . . .”

Huo Lian interrupted him, “I'll introduce you to another job. What are you good at?”

Lu Shijin's eyes lit up, “I can draw, I'm studying at an art academy.”

“You can draw?” Huo Lian pondered for a bit and vaguely recalled that Huo Qi's first love seemed to be an artist as well.

Heh, interesting.

“What?” Lu Shijin noticed that Huo Lian was distracted and carefully asked, “Is there no suitable job?”

“Nothing.” Huo Lian waved the gold club in his hand, “When there is, I'll send someone to let you know.”

Huo Lian had a rare smile in his eyes when he looked at Lu Shijin.

How could Lu Shijin not know that Huo Lian was looking at him as one would look at an idiot.

But that was exactly the effect he wanted. To get closer to the paranoid Huo Lian, the best method was to pretend to be a fool.
