She secretly pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Wen Jie held two desserts in his hand, a gentle smile on his lips, and gently handed the plate to her.

“I didn’t know which one you liked, so I brought them all.” He said softly, “This one… I smelled it, it’s low in sugar, so it won’t make you fat. It’s okay to eat a little.”

You Huan couldn't hide the smile on her face. The moment she took the plate, their hands touched.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank.

Wen Jie's situation wasn't much better than hers.

He saw her being surrounded by reporters and, in a fit of anger, stepped forward to confront them. Only after that did he realize he might be worried about the impact this might have on her career.

If some nosy reporters write something out of the blue, wouldn't she have an even harder time next?

So, to make amends, he picked out two small cakes and brought them over. When he handed the plate to her, their hands accidentally touched...

Wen Jie's heart had never beat like this before, from childhood to adulthood.

Both of them blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look each other in the eye.

"Thank you for earlier," You Huan said softly.

"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor. I hope it won't cause you any trouble."

"Hey!" someone suddenly shouted.

You Huan and Wen Jie turned around at the same time, only to find that Jackie had been standing behind them at some point, with her arms crossed, pushing up her glasses, and pointing at them with a effeminate gesture, looking at them with a look of exasperation.

"What's so troublesome about it? I think you two are the real trouble!"

“Wen Jie, Attorney Wen! Tell me how many opportunities I’ve created for you? I even took the battery out of the van to try and bring you two together! Wasn’t it just to keep that car in the repair shop a few more days?”

"And today, my Huanhuan was being verbally abused to her face, and I just kept quiet, didn't I?"

"Attorney Wen, I've practically sent you to your death, haven't I? Why are you still so clueless!"

Jackie was so anxious that she stomped her feet, which made some of the surrounding celebrities turn around and laugh in her direction.

"It's just a simple 'I like it'!"

"If you two won't speak, I'll speak for you!"

You Huan's face instantly turned ashen, and she nearly lost her balance when she twisted her ankle in her high heels.

"He likes you!" Jackie pointed at Wen Jie, then pointed at You Huan and said to Wen Jie, "She likes you too!"

“Jackie!” You Huan’s eyes widened, her expression as if she was about to cry.

She glanced at Wen Jie cautiously again and found that the man didn't seem to mind at all. On the contrary, he was smiling憨憨地, his eyes full of light.

People around them laughed and applauded. Jiang Mianmian walked gracefully over, arm in arm with Huo Junyu, both of them wearing smiles of blessing.

"Finally, she said 'I like you'!" Jiang Mianmian ran over happily and gave You Huan a big hug.

You Huan was still a little dazed, but her heart was filled with joy. Huo Junyu patted Wen Jie on the shoulder, congratulating him on finally winning the heart of his beauty.

"Hey, Mr. Huo is wrong!" someone laughed. "Attorney Wen hasn't even held Huanhuan yet, how can he be considered to have 'won the beauty'?"

"Yes, give me a hug!"

The crowd cheered, some pushing Wen Jie, some pushing You Huan, and the two of them got closer and closer, laughing heartily.

Huo Junyu put his arm around Mianmian's shoulder, his eyes full of doting affection.

Just as everyone was laughing heartily, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Mianmian was stunned, only to see Fu Xiuyu arrive with the children of the Fu clan.

Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can hurriedly went to greet them. The arrival of the Fu family made the charity gala even more lively.

"Mom!" Jiang Can said with a smile, helping her mother-in-law up. "You came without even telling me beforehand! It's my fault for not being prepared!"

"It's not your fault." Fu Xiuyu patted her hand affectionately. "I made a bold statement before: none of us with the surname Fu will participate in any of the Huo family's activities! Zhixing knew that, so she didn't even call me!"

"Mom," Huo Zhixing smiled, "What's wrong with you today? Did the sun rise in the west?"

"I came for my daughter and my precious granddaughter, is that alright?" Fu Xiuyu still looked at Huo Zhixing with the same eyes she used to look at her "rebellious son".

Huo Zhixing: "..."

He knew his precious daughter; it was Jiang Can.

So who is this precious granddaughter?

"Grandma!" A sweet voice rang out, and then Jiang Mianmian and Jiang Can were seen supporting the old lady on either side.

The way the mother and her two children looked so close really resembled three generations of a close-knit family...

Huo Zhixing stood helplessly to the side with his arms crossed in front of him. He was middle-aged and his back was already a little hunched, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being disliked by his own mother.

However, when he turned his head, he saw his eldest son making the same movements and with the same expression.

So, it turns out we're all in the same junior rank!

Huo Junyang squeezed between his father and older brother, patted Huo Zhixing on the shoulder with one hand and Huo Junyu with the other, revealing a polite yet sarcastic smile.

Then, he was suppressed by both his father and older brother...

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around!" Huo Junyang covered his head. "There are so many celebrities here! Mind your image!"

"Your status isn't that high either, yet you dare to laugh at me and Dad?"

Huo Junyang grinned, then suddenly pointed to a spot not far away, "Brother, why is he here too?"

Huo Junyu looked in the direction he was pointing.

Behind Fu Xiuyu were not only the clan members, but also He Sirui and her father, He Zhengsong.

"He Zhengsong just got off the plane today," Huo Zhixing said casually, then raised an eyebrow and looked at his two sons, "I heard that He Sirui was smeared with dirty water at the orphanage a few days ago?"

"No way," Huo Junyang exclaimed dramatically, "She's such a grown woman, and she has to call her dad to stand up for her when she suffers a little grievance?"

“He Zhengsong wasn’t sent by He Sirui.” Huo Zhixing’s face darkened. “Your grandmother sent him.”

"ah?"

"Your grandmother probably has other plans," Huo Zhixing chuckled confidently. "Let's just wait and see."

Huo Junyu nodded.

His grandmother was a remarkable woman; she could resolve this little matter in no time!

"Zhengsong," Fu Xiuyu said with a smile, clinking glasses with He Zhengsong repeatedly, "It's been quite a while since we've seen each other! How are your parents doing?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine!" He Zhengsong smiled.

This square-faced man exuded an aura of authority from head to toe.

Coupled with his more robust physique than the average person, it's easy to associate him with the image of a ruthless bandit in a movie.
