Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
After Lin Kefei finished laughing, he suddenly remembered something.
"Boss Huo, how come you have time to hang out with us single guys?"
"Get lost! You're single yourself, don't drag me into this, okay!"
Mu Feifan rolled his eyes at the other person with disdain. If it weren't for this idiot insisting on coming to the club, he would have just bought a few bottles and some grilled skewers from a roadside stall and been done with it.
"Oh, sorry, Boss Mu! I forgot about you, a married man, here!"
Linke gave the other person a Boy Scout salute, then turned and asked another question.
"Boss Huo, where's our little sister-in-law?"
He was completely stunned when he heard that Huo Zhongyuan and Qin Suisui were dating.
After graduating from university, he went to study in the United States. At some point, a rumor, whether true or false, suddenly began to circulate among his fellow students.
The main characters in the story are Huo Zhongyuan and Xie Yumu, their junior from the same school.
The two shared similar interests and were attracted to each other, but unfortunately, the girl's parents disapproved.
The story was full of twists and turns, and he almost believed it.
He even called back to China to ask Huo Zhongyuan if the matter was true or false, but Huo Zhongyuan denied it on the spot.
However, he remained skeptical, after all, Huo Zhongyuan's personality was too aloof, he never showed his emotions, and his thoughts were never known to others, so he really couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood.
The international student community is usually quite small. By chance, he met Xie Yumu, and they gradually became acquainted.
Xie Yumu gave him a very special feeling; she was bright and generous, had outstanding abilities, and came from a good family.
If it weren't for Xie Yumu's shy and hesitant demeanor whenever Huo Zhongyuan was mentioned, he would have wanted to pursue her.
As time went on, he realized that Xie Shimei was approaching him because of Huo Zhongyuan.
At the time, he also thought that regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, Xie Shimei was the most suitable match for Huo Zhongyuan in all aspects.
Once Xie Shimei returns to China, he needs to arrange a meeting for Huo Zhongyuan so that the two can meet again and perhaps become a perfect couple.
Who knew that a junior from the law school would suddenly appear next to Huo Zhongyuan, and this junior was even more famous in their study abroad circle.
He felt a little sorry for his junior sister, Xie Yumu.
Unable to resist asking tentatively, "Huo Zhongyuan, what is your attitude towards Xie Yumu?"
"Um?"
Huo Zhongyuan frowned slightly.
Should I know Xie Yumu?
"she?"
Lin Kefei looked at Huo Zhongyuan's indifferent expression and sighed.
"Sigh, let's just forget about it!"
Why should he go through all that trouble? Neither side said a word to him.
Seeing this, Wei Wei quickly changed the subject.
"Brother Mu just said that you almost made yourself into a shut-in. Does your sister-in-law know that you were tossing and turning at night, and even fell ill with lovesickness?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
It's a rare treat to see Huo Zhongyuan make a fool of himself, so they're bound to dig into every detail.
"Brother, would you like some fruit?"
The girl nestled in Linke's arms could tell he was in a low mood. She smiled sweetly, picked up a fork, and fed him a grape.
Their circle has limited information.
The person opposite, Mr. Huo, is someone who rarely attends such occasions.
They had only heard of Huo Zhongyuan before, and this was the first time they had seen him in person.
She glanced at him furtively. The man sitting opposite her was tall and had a cool and aloof demeanor, exuding an air of detachment and nonchalance.
He's far more handsome in person than the rumors suggest!
If she didn't already have someone by her side, she really wanted to sit down and kiss his thin lips to see if they were as cold and hard as she imagined.
Her expression shifted slightly as she thought about what the manager had told her to do.
She lowered her head, her fingers brushing across Lin Kefei's chest, but her gaze kept sweeping towards Huo Zhongyuan.
"Brother, Mr. Huo actually has a girlfriend!"
Just now, when President Huo coldly rejected her and the other female escorts, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Does such a self-disciplined man really exist in this world?
"Don't move!"
Lin Kefei grabbed her fidgeting hand and whispered in her ear, "If you keep moving, I'll do something to you!"
He pinched her chin with his fingers, forcing her face to meet his gaze.
Lin Kefei half-covered his eyes, staring at the woman's charming face in his arms, his gaze sweeping down to her red lips. After a few seconds of staring, he smiled and said.
"Be good! Don't have any ideas that are impossible!"
"Ugh, I don't have any!"
The woman in his arms snuggled closer to him, trying to hide the regret on her face.
Lin Kefei's lips twitched, and he picked up the microphone and shouted loudly at Huo Zhongyuan.
"Boss Huo, you still haven't told us why our little sister-in-law left you behind?"
"So curious?"
Huo Zhongyuan put down his wine glass, leaned back naturally, and rested his hands on the back of the chair, looking lazy and casual.
"Of course! Who here wouldn't be excited to hear Mr. Huo's secrets firsthand?"
Lin Kefei got more and more excited as he spoke.
"Mr. Huo, could you please explain the source of Wei Wei's apparent despondency earlier? Is it due to heartbreak?"
Huo Zhongyuan took the cigarette Mu Feifan offered and lit it.
Amidst the smoke, his laughter was hazy, yet his voice remained firm.
"No matter what, Sui Sui is mine now, so don't make any more guesses."
"Heh~"
Lin Kefei couldn't help but gasp. How much jealousy was there? It seemed that Xie Shimei really had no chance.
"Okay, okay, I won't guess anymore. But you have to tell me, you said you were busy this afternoon, so why are you here tonight?"
"She has an online meeting tonight, it might be very late."
