Chapter 95: Low-profile version of Feng Mingzhou?
The faint sounds of talking and laughing in the garden suddenly became quiet.
Huo Yunting was still immersed in the embarrassment just now and didn't pay much attention to the changes around him.
His eyes fell on Gu Manman's slender fingers holding the juice cup, and the heat in his ears had not completely faded.
Gu Manman was the first to notice something was wrong.
Several figures were walking towards this side, the two leading them had steady steps and an imposing aura.
A guest nearby lowered his voice, with undisguised excitement and awe: "The one next to Master Huo... is that Feng Mingzhou?"
"Oh my god, it's really him! The Huo family is so proud!"
"Hurry, hurry, go over and say hello..."
Huo Yunting finally reacted. He looked up suddenly and saw his eldest brother walking in front of him, as well as the VIP next to his eldest brother. His face changed slightly and he subconsciously straightened his back.
Feng Mingzhou created a powerful magnetic field just by standing there, attracting all the light and attention around him.
Feng Mingzhou didn't look at those people who were eager to come forward and talk. His eyes passed through the crowd and locked onto Gu Manman who was standing under the wisteria trellis.
And the second son of the Huo family, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, next to her.
Feng Mingzhou's jaw line seemed to tighten a little.
The two walked closer, and the light completely illuminated each other's vision.
Huo Yunshen cried out: "Miss Gu?!"
Gu Manman was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the other person carefully and asked, "Is it you?"
"What?" Feng Mingzhou moved half a step forward inconspicuously, blocking Huo Yunting's sight of Gu Manman, and moved closer to Gu Manman, "Are you two old acquaintances?"
Huo Yunshen obviously didn't notice the undercurrent in Feng Mingzhou's tone; his attention was entirely on the surprise of the reunion.
He smiled heartily and explained, "Mingzhou, you don't know, I went to Lanman Island two years ago and had the honor of meeting Miss Gu!"
He recalled the stunning glimpse he got when he first saw her on Lanman Island two years ago, and also the disappointment he felt when he tried hard to find her but received no news.
It turns out that her name is Gu Manman.
He turned back and looked at her: "Later, I went back to look for you, but I couldn't find you. I always felt very sorry. I never thought that you would return to China, and I never thought...you are the young lady that the Qin family found."
As Feng Mingzhou listened, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and the air pressure around him became even lower.
Just then, a hearty laugh was heard.
"Mr. Feng! Since you are such an honored guest, why don't you sit in the main hall?" Mr. Huo came over, leaning on a cane, surrounded by his family.
He walked straight towards Feng Mingzhou and held out his hand: "What a rare guest! It is an honor for the Huo family to have you here!"
Feng Mingzhou suppressed the low pressure around him, shook hands with Mr. Huo and greeted him with a calm and flawless attitude.
Seeing this, the guests around gathered around.
"Boss Feng! I've heard of you for a long time!"
Compliments, greetings, and tentative attempts to strike up a conversation instantly surrounded Feng Mingzhou.
Gu Manman looked at Feng Mingzhou who was surrounded by the crowd, turned around, and walked quickly along the flower-shadowed path towards the direction where the lights were slightly dimmer.
/
Feng Mingzhou finally managed to extricate himself from the numerous greetings, and the first thing he did was search the crowd.
Gu Manman had disappeared long ago.
The assistant came over and whispered a few words, then led him towards the garden.
The further you go in, the clearer the melodious violin sound becomes.
After passing a clump of dense bamboo, Feng Mingzhou stopped.
The lights in the garden dance floor were flickering, and Huo Yunting's hand was on Gu Manman's slender waist.
Gu Manman tilted her head slightly and talked to Huo Yunting with a smile.
She was wearing that aqua green cheongsam, and her figure was slim, like a green bamboo swaying in the wind.
Feng Mingzhou just stood in the shadows and watched.
Watching the two of them dancing.
The assistant approached quietly, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from his boss, and even breathed more lightly.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally stepped forward and lowered his voice.
"Boss Feng..." The assistant's voice was a little cautious and hesitant, "There is something..."
Feng Mingzhou's gaze was still fixed on the two men, and his voice came out from between his teeth, cold and hard.
"explain!"
The assistant was startled by his voice and quickly moved closer, lowering his voice to almost a whisper: "Do you think... that Second Young Master Huo... looks a bit like you?"
After saying this, the assistant wanted to bite off his tongue, feeling that he had said something outrageous, and quickly tried to make amends: "Of course... of course he is a low-profile version..."
Feng Mingzhou's gaze moved away from Gu Manman's face and fell on Huo Yunting's face sharply and scrutinizingly.
Under the light, the lines of Huo Yunting's profile and the expression between his eyebrows and eyes do bear some resemblance to his youth.
It is not a complete copy of the appearance, but a subtle overlap in spirit.
He suddenly felt a uneasiness that was stronger than jealousy.
He knows it very well.
I know very well how much I loved the spirited and rebellious young self of my past.
He could easily crush the trash like Lin Anbo, Zhou Mubai and Deng Yaochen with his power and means, making them completely disappear in front of her.
But the Huo Yunting in front of him... he was like a ghost, a ghost from the past.
How does he fight against a shadow of the past?
How to fight against the best version of herself in her memory that has been sealed in time?
Feng Mingzhou's gaze fell heavily on the center of the dance floor.
Huo Yunting was shy and nervous like a teenager.
And his Manman was looking at the face that looked like his youth, with a beautiful smile.
Huo Yunting seemed to say something that made Gu Manman's lips curl up.
That was a look of disarmament that he hadn't seen in a long time.
That kind of unreserved brightness was something she would never feel again when she looked at him now.
Many years ago, Feng Mingzhou was full of vigor and vitality, with light in his eyes and dreams in his heart.
But he is no longer that boy now.
Now, his hands are covered in blood, his eyes are full of calculation, and even his love for her is filled with control and possessiveness, and he is as brutal as a wild beast.
And Huo Yunting was like a mirror, reflecting everything he had lost.
But he still couldn't bear to let go.
I can't bear to do it, and I dare not.
Because once she lets go, she will smile so sweetly at other men like she does now.
Huo Yunting said something, and Gu Manman chuckled and shook her head, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons.
Feng Mingzhou's breathing became heavy.
He was too familiar with her every expression.
This is the expression she has when she is in a good mood, and this is the smile she shows when she likes someone.
Feng Mingzhou felt something burning in his chest, making his internal organs churn.

Before the banquet was over, Gu Manman found an excuse to say goodbye to Mr. Huo.
The Huo family’s mansion is very large. Coming out of the main hall and passing through several corridors, you will reach the courtyard path leading to the parking lot.
The night wind blew, lifting the hem of her cheongsam, making her look a little desolate.
All the way through the deep courtyard, the only sounds were the wind and the "tapping" sound of her high heels hitting the ground.
She quickened her pace, just wanting to leave quickly.
Finally she saw her car parked under the shadow of a tree not far away. She breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the car, and reached out to open the driver's door.
The door just opened.
"Bang!"
A huge force came from behind, and the car door, which had just been opened a crack, was pushed back and slammed shut!
At the same time, the person behind her put his arm across her waist, pulling her back irresistibly and forcing her to turn around.
"Ah——!" She was caught off guard and screamed in surprise, and her body crashed into a hard chest due to inertia.
The cool woody fragrance instantly enveloped her.
When she saw the person in front of her clearly, Gu Manman's heart settled down, but then a feeling of anger surged up.
She subconsciously raised her hand to push him, her voice filled with exasperation after being frightened: "Feng Mingzhou! You want to scare me to death!"
He ignored her struggles and scolding.
The next second, the world was spinning.
Feng Mingzhou grabbed her wrist, lifted it high, and pressed her firmly against the car door.
He approached her and completely trapped her between him and the car body, making her unable to move.
He lowered his head and pressed down rudely.
The disparity in power is too great.
Her struggle in front of him was like an ant trying to shake a tree, it was futile.
This kiss was as plundering as a storm. It was strong, overbearing, and left no room for mercy, as if it wanted to devour her completely.
He pried open her lips and teeth, conquered her, and plundered all her air.
I don't know how long it was before he stepped back a little.
Gu Manman leaned against the car door limply, gasping for breath, her chest heaving violently, her cheeks flushed from lack of oxygen and shame.
She stared at the man in front of her who was also breathing heavily, her eyes red with anger: "Mad man!"
Just as she finished cursing, the kiss from that "madman" came upon her again.
