My Superstar Wife Is So Popular-Chapter 821 - 819: Attempting to Steal from Under His Nose

With a "Sorry" at the start and an "Oh~" at the end, Wen Qiao vividly embodied the phrase "artfully two-faced."

The moment she sent the message, her phone started vibrating.

Seeing Huo Mutian’s name on the caller ID, Wen Qiao instinctively glanced to her side, then boldly answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

"What’s going on, little beauty? How did you end up so embarrassed at the awards ceremony?" Huo Mutian’s lazy voice came through the speaker, "Where’s Jinghen? Isn’t he with you?"

"Of course he is." Wen Qiao glanced again at Jinghen, speaking to him through the phone: "He’s been with me the whole time, never leaving my side."

"Yeah, right. If he’d been with you, would you have gotten harassed? I even had to take you off the trending search." Huo Mutian snorted sarcastically, "That ex-fiancé slash current boyfriend of yours is utterly incompetent; you might as well switch to my embrace."

Fu Jinghen’s eyes narrowed.

So it was he who removed the trending search.

"You removed the trending search?" Wen Qiao was a bit surprised too.

"Who else do you think?" Huo Mutian said, "Doesn’t it cost money to take down a trending search? Who else but your Brother Huo could splash out so generously and treat you so well? Hurry up and think about how you’ll repay me. I wouldn’t mind if you promised yourself to me."

"..."

Feeling the lowering tension from the man beside her, Wen Qiao instinctively wanted to hang up the call, but her finger twitched and then rested quietly.

Wouldn’t hanging up now be too obvious?

She, Wen Qiao, walks upright and sits straight, daring to put on speakerphone to the end.

After a brief mental preparation, Wen Qiao hurriedly retorted, "Promised myself for what? Just for a trending search? Do you know how much I’m worth now? Even a lion wouldn’t open its mouth as wide as you do."

"Do you think removing a trending search is cheap? Plus, do you think it only takes money to do that? Don’t I have to call in favors?" Huo Mutian rambled on endlessly, "With my status and position, it involves all sorts of intricate relationships and interests in the background. When you add it all up, forget a lion, even an open-mouthed tiger wouldn’t be too much."

Hearing this, Wen Qiao and Fu Jinghen understood what he meant.

"Alright, alright." Wen Qiao, tired of his rant, directly asked, "Just tell me how you want me to repay you. And I’m warning you, if you don’t talk straight, I’m blocking you."

Huo Mutian exclaimed, "Wow, look at you. Now that you have a man backing you up, you’re daring to challenge me, huh?"

"Even without a man backing me, I’d dare challenge you." Wen Qiao impatiently urged him, "Are you going to say it or not? If not, I’m hanging up. I’ve got a ton of stuff to do."

Huo Mutian stopped her, "Alright, alright, calm down. Is Fu Jinghen eavesdropping on you or something?"

"You’re overthinking it, Mr. Huo." Fu Jinghen, who had been silent until now, finally found a chance to speak: "Qiaoqiao put you on speaker for me."

Fu Jinghen’s rather proud tone reached Huo Mutian’s ears, and those simple eight words inexplicably expanded in his mind to: My wife put you on speaker for me; your every word and action has already been exposed to my ears. At this point, who’s the ultimate winner is already clear as day, so it’s best you stop trying to dig into my relationship.
