Chapter 85: A Lot of Information

Lu Wan stared at him blankly for several seconds before answering, "My paintings are not worth that much money, so how can I settle the debt with you?"

"It's good that you know." Huo Beiting rolled up the painting coldly, but it didn't mean that he thought the painting was worthless. "It's impossible for us to be even."

"Why..." Lu Wan's eyelashes trembled, and her soft voice was a little powerless, "Why me?"

Why do you want to get engaged to her?

Why... not someone else?

"No reason." Huo Beiting responded without hesitation, his dark eyes fixed on her, "It can only be you."

It can only be...her?

Lu Wan was even more confused.

"Perhaps, we can get to know each other." Huo Beiting suddenly took out his cell phone and placed it directly in front of Lu Wan, "Dial your number."

Lu Wan stared blankly but did not move.

He wants to...exchange phone numbers?

"Don't worry, I won't harass you. If you don't want to get married in a hurry, it's better to talk to me in advance."

There was a hint of threat in Huo Beiting's cold words.

Without thinking too much, Lu Wan picked up his phone and called herself.

When the phone rang, she handed the phone to Huo Beiting.

Huo Beiting first saved Lu Wan's number.

He paused at the name.

Finally, a word is stored - Wan.

Lu Wan saved the name "Huo Beiting" with both his first and last name.

"Then I...I'll go find Nan Yan first."

After saving the number, Lu Wan quickly stood up and asked a tentative question. Seeing that Huo Beiting didn't respond, she left quickly.

Huo Beiting listened to the rapidly receding footsteps and slowly looked back.

Lu Wan had already disappeared.

She ran so fast, was she afraid that he would eat her?

After Lu Wan left the courtyard, she immediately found Gu Nanyue.

Gu Nanyue was still arranging the replacement of ingredients in the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Wan, she asked with a calm smile.

It seems that the painting was given away.

"I gave him the painting, and he... left me my cell phone number." Lu Wan's heart was beating wildly at this moment.

She never dreamed that one day the three words "Huo Beiting" would be stored in her contact list.

It all seemed like a dream.

"Oh, it's okay to keep it. I've seen it a few times before. Just treat it as a friend."

Gu Nanyue had almost finished arranging everything in the kitchen and walked out with Lu Wan.

Lu Wan was like a frightened deer, still a little frightened.

"He said...it can only be me. I don't understand what he means." Lu Wan's eyes were already a little red.

Is she destined to have no control over her life?

"Wan Wan, don't be too pessimistic. Maybe things are not what you think. Since you have already left your numbers, you can get to know each other first. There must be a reason. It's not like Huo Beiting can't get married. Why does he rely on you for no reason?"

Gu Nanyue now understands that although Huo Beiting has a bad reputation, he is a rich bachelor after all. As long as he is willing, countless women are willing to throw themselves at him.

But he has never had a woman around him in these years.

There must be a reason for his sudden engagement to Wanwan.

What the reason is? Perhaps only Wanwan and he will know it after they get to know each other.

Lu Wan was silent.

And understand him.

She felt that just thinking about it...

She didn't know how to understand him.

Shen Boyan quickly took Xiao Mumu back.

When Xiao Mumu saw everyone, he called everyone uncle and aunt one by one.

Ji Mingyu woke up from his sleep, drank some sobering tea, and finally felt more sober.

"Xiao Mumu, look at me carefully. Shouldn't you call me brother?" Ji Mingyu had just sobered up a little and started teasing Xiao Mumu.

Xiao Mumu tilted his head and looked at him puzzledly, "If I call you brother, then you and I are of the same generation. Then my dad and mom are your elders."

After these words were spoken, Ji Mingyu was choked and speechless.

Chu Yan and Tang Ci both laughed.

Tang Ci joked directly, "The child didn't express himself clearly enough, I'll translate for him, you try calling Mr. Shen dad first."

"No, you are all bullying me, right?" Ji Mingyu was so angry that he was about to die.

Not only can he not drink more than a woman, he can't even speak more than a three-year-old child.

"You are asking for trouble. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Chu Yan picked up the wine glass and shook his head helplessly.

Mingyu, as a conspicuous person, could take advantage of others in other places, but he couldn't take advantage of any of the people in front of him.

He couldn't even get the upper hand over a three-year-old child.

"Xiao Mumu, have you ever considered becoming a child star?" Tang Ci looked at Xiao Mumu's pretty face carefully. He felt that she was very suitable for the entertainment industry.

With such a pretty face, it would be a shame if she didn't go into acting.

"What is a child star?" Xiao Mumu blinked his clear and cute eyes and looked at Tang Ci in confusion.

"It means filming a movie, appearing on TV, and letting everyone see you." Tang Ci tried to explain it in a simple and understandable way.

Xiao Mumu immediately shook his head, "Dad doesn't allow me to watch TV, and he definitely won't allow me to be on TV."

Tang Ci immediately turned her gaze towards Shen Boyan.

However, Chen Boyan picked up the wine glass with a cold expression, without even raising his eyelids, but Tang Ci could feel the coldness emanating from his body even from a distance.

"You're right, your dad won't agree." He said to Xiao Mumu helplessly.

Xiao Mumu didn't quite understand what was going on, so he just buried his head in eating.

On the dinner table, his colorful children's plates are very eye-catching.

Lu Wan looked at him eating obediently and couldn't help but laugh, "Little Mumu is so worry-free when eating. Many children of this age still need to be chased and fed."

"Mumu is a foodie, it's okay for him to just chase after food." Gu Nanyue immediately responded.

Lu Wan's expression suddenly became helpless.

What's wrong with being a foodie?

Being able to eat is a blessing.

"Ms. Lu seems to like children very much." Tang Ci rarely spoke to Lu Wan.

Lu Wan glanced at him and answered nervously, "I'm fine... I just like Xiao Mumu more."

"Hehe." Tang Ci looked at her alert look, smiled and said nothing more.

"Mr. Tang, why didn't you bring your assistant with you today?"

Huo Beiting, who was drinking silently, suddenly spoke.

Tang Ci's smile froze for a moment.

"We're here to drink, why bring an assistant?" He picked up the glass and took another sip without showing any expression.

"Don't you like to bring your little assistant with you wherever you go? There are no outsiders here, so you can bring your little assistant along for a drink and make friends with everyone." Ji Mingyu continued.

"Ji Mingyu, are you short of friends?" As soon as Ji Mingyu finished speaking, the smile on Tang Ci's face completely disappeared, and she asked him back.

"I'm not short of it, but I don't mind having one more."

Ji Mingyu spoke bravely, but after he finished speaking he did not dare to look at Tang Ci's sharp eyes and deliberately glanced to the side.

Gu Nanyue's gossipy eyes lit up at this time.

Is there anything unknown between Actor Tang and his assistant?

There is a lot of information in today's drinking party.
