There were barely any updates in Huo Yao’s WeChat posts. The last one she had posted was a picture of the noodles she ate at the night market when she visited the capital for the International Quiz Contest.

  Yin Hai tapped on it expecting to see posts typical of a young woman of Huo Yao’s age. Instead, all he saw were the noodles. Also, she had put up the picture without even adding a subject. He could not help looking at her quizzically.

  Huo Yao noticed the strange looks Yin Hai was giving her, so she glanced at him questioningly.

  Yin Hai merely smiled when he noticed the quizzical look in Huo Yao’s eyes. He was too shy to speak his mind and say that she did not look like an average girl.

  Since Huo Yao added Yin Hai to her WeChat account, Huo Xiang naturally did the same. After they were done sharing their contact numbers, they put their phones away.

  Shen Si and Wu Miao felt embarrassed since they were disregarded so blatantly.

  Shen Si was particularly upset since no one had ever ignored her.

  Although she was not interested in sharing contact numbers with Lucky and his little sister, they should have had the courtesy to at least pretend to take interest in hers.

  Also, she was a bigger celebrity than Yin Hai. Even though Yin Hai was a veteran actor, he had retired years ago and could not compare to her in terms of popularity.

  Lucky and his little sister were simply rude.

  Since filming had not started, Shen Si did not bother to pretend that they were close. She pursed her lips before she turned and headed inside the house. She did not want to look at them any more.

  Even though Wu Miao really wanted Lucky’s contact number, it would be awkward for her to stay on since her cousin was unhappy. She nodded to Yin Hai before she followed behind Shen Si and entered the house as well.

  Huo Yao glanced at them indifferently before moving away her eyes.

  Yin Hai coughed awkwardly and said, “She’s an award-winning actress, so it is only natural that she is a little proud. Don’t take it to heart.”


  Yin Hai did not appreciate Shen Si’s arrogance, but he did not dare to offend her since she came from an important family.

  Huo Yao nodded understandably. “I get it.”


  “Oh yes. Mind telling me your names?” Yin Hai changed the subject.

  “Huo Yao. It means without a trace.” Huo Yao spoke candidly before she pointed at her brother and replied on his behalf succinctly. “Xiang for good fortune.”


  That was the reason Huo Xiang’s stage name was Lucky.

  Yin Hai went quiet before he said, “I can keep a secret.”


  “It’s just a name, so it’s no big deal,” said Huo Yao gently.

  Yin Hai looked up at the house before he reminded them. “It’s a bad idea to provoke the Shens, so do be careful. I’m going in first.”


  Yin Hai was the second person who brought up the Shen family to her. Huo Yao looked at Yin Hai’s retreating back thoughtfully. She turned around and was about to say something to Huo Xiang when he beat her to it.

  “You don’t have to feel stressed about the Shens. They are nothing except small fry, so it’s them who can’t afford to offend us.” He stood with his back straight and the look of contempt appeared on his cool face.

  It seemed as though he did not give a hoot about the Shen family.

  Huo Yao looked at him. She suddenly remembered how she had tricked him previously into telling her how rich the Huo family was.

  Xiao Moling and his brother happened to arrive at the time, so Huo Yao did not keep probing Huo Xiang.

  At 10:00 am sharp, the live telecast started.

  The host started with the usual opening before he got right to the episode’s theme.

  They were going to remodel a house today.

  They would get split into two teams to do major remodeling for two houses. It was up to them to use their creativity to modify the houses using the tools provided by the program.

  This was the hardest challenge till date on the program.
