What if My Brother is Too Good?

Chapter 223

After finishing the congee, Huo Yusen put the tableware into the dishwasher, then soaked a towel in preparation to wipe the table. Huo Wu quickly stepped forward to help, but Huo Yusen raised his eyebrows. "It doesn't hurt there anymore?"

Huo Wu spaced out for a moment before reacting to what he said.

"You rest. I'll do it." After Huo Yusen finished speaking, he moved neatly to tidy up the kitchen and table.

Huo Wu had nothing to do, so she sat on the sofa to rest.

She took out her mobile phone and was going to busy herself by reading the script for a while, but just after she started reading, Huo Yusen took her phone away.

Huo Wu cried and extended her hand to Huo Yusen, saying petulantly, "Big Brother, give me back my phone. I haven't familiarized myself with the script yet."

When Huo Yusen heard the word ‘script,’ he frowned visibly.

Now that he had a general idea of what the drama was about, he was reluctant to let Huo Wu act in the film. Although Fenghua, like War, was still a heroine script, Fenghua's script was too realistic.

To put it bluntly, Fenghua was the short but complicated life of a special kind of worker. It was as short as a blossoming flower and as fleeting as fireworks.

Huo Yusen personally had no prejudice against particular professions. Everyone had their own life choices, and he was merely an irrelevant passerby without any right to comment. But if Huo Wu wanted to play such a role, he found it unacceptable.

Huo Yusen sat down beside Huo Wu, stretched out his arm, and gathered her into his embrace. "Ah Wu, I can't let you act in this drama."

Although Huo Wu had already expected this deep inside, her heart still thumped upon hearing Huo Yusen's words.

Huo Yusen pressed his forehead against hers and explained little by little, "Ah Wu, I can't accept you hugging another man, let alone accept you using your lips to kiss another man."

Huo Wu bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As a professional actress, she must keep a straight face even if it was a bed scene.

She was a professional actress in her previous life, but at that time she was only an insignificant 18th-tier actress. She never had a turn in filming kissing scenes, bed scenes, and whatnot that detonated the plot.

In this life, she had the top resources and the most reliable backers. Her acting skills were in place, and she was professional enough. She knew full well that Fenghua could be a smash hit once it was aired, and if she played the female lead, Fenghua might even give her a chance to win the Best Actress Oscar.

The show would surely be a huge international hit as well.

Because it was real enough, and the content was profound enough to be thought-provoking.

Nonetheless, Huo Wu was also well aware of Huo Yusen's concerns.

If it was another woman hugging or kissing Huo Yusen, she would never be able to stand it, not at all.

Putting herself in his shoes, she could understand where he was coming from.

Last night's mouth-to-mouth wine feeding episode was actually a free play. The script only said that it was feeding wine. She could hold up the glass to her patron’s lips and feed them the wine using the glass, or rely on other less ambiguous ways.

However, since she was facing Huo Yusen yesterday, she chose mouth-to-mouth to feed him the wine. Although she could control last night's feeding episode, she also had to admit that because of the special nature of the heroine's profession, she would have physical contact with quite a few men in the film.

Hugs were even more essential.

After a delay in waiting for Huo Wu's response, Huo Yusen couldn't help but urge again, "Ah Wu?"

Huo Wu took a deep breath, and a smile rose on her face. "Alright. I won't act in Fenghua."

It was unfair for only one party to give in a relationship.

Huo Wu naturally could also insist. If she insisted, Huo Yusen might relent. But her insistence would undoubtedly hurt Huo Yusen.

He had already been through a lot because of her. For example, he took the initiative to move out of the Huo family; another example, he sent Huo Yuqin abroad. He also confronted his father and received a beating from which he had yet to fully recover from. He had already done so much for her, so this time, it was her turn too.

It was entirely acceptable for her to not act in Fenghua.

After getting the desired response, an arc slowly rose out of the corner of Huo Yusen's lips.

He rubbed the back of Huo Wu's hand and said, "Didn't Susan also give you a reality show called 《This Baby Is A Bit Cute》?"

Huo Wu was surprised. "Brother, how do you even know about this?"

Huo Yusen's mouth felt as dry as a bone when he heard her 'Brother' address.

Last night, this was how she called him. One after another.

It gave him burst after burst of hidden pleasure.

This feeling was far better than the pleasure he felt when he first flew a plane.

Huo Yusen took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the wriggling desire in his innermost being. "Yes, I just had a phone call with your agent while I was cooking, so I have a rough idea of your next schedule."

The shooting of《This Baby Is A Bit Cute》had been postponed for some reason.

It was a coincidence at this time that the filming of 《This Baby Is A Bit Cute》and 《Fenghua》collided. In other words, she could only choose one of the two. Now that she had abandoned Fenghua, she could devote herself to the shooting of the reality show.
