Cheng Xuerou's mind went blank. She stood there blankly in front of the man, not daring to even breathe.
I thought Huo Zhixing was cold and ruthless when I was a student, but now, many years after graduation, he is even more so.
However, Cheng Xuerou did not want to back down, after all, the allure of the Huo family was still very strong.
She took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and gave a smile that was both ingratiating and natural.
"Huo Zhixing, it's been so many years, is this how you treat your old classmate?"
Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes.
This woman is so strange. If Bai Jingyuan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered her as some kind of old classmate.
Jiang Can didn't send him a single message, which annoyed him even more.
He simply got up and walked outside.
Cheng Xuerou was startled. Seeing that he was about to leave, she hurriedly followed him. However, after taking only two steps, she saw another woman coming towards her.
This woman's appearance was not as striking as that of a female celebrity, but she exuded an air of nobility that no female celebrity could match.
I wonder whose daughter she is.
Huo Zhixing frowned; this was why he loathed such banquets.
His angular face became even more somber.
Cheng Xuerou smiled and stepped forward, once again shielding him from the woman.
After the woman walked away, she looked at Huo Zhixing and felt that his gaze was not as cold as before.
"Thank you," the man said curtly.
Cheng Xuerou nodded and smiled.
"I don't like other women getting close to me." Huo Zhixing said this, then took a long stride, his strong and tall figure quickly blending into the crowd in the banquet hall.
Cheng Xuerou stood there in a daze for a while.
Huo Zhixing's words were still echoing in her ears.
He doesn't like other women getting close to him...
But so far at the banquet, only she has approached him and spoken to him!
Cheng Xuerou was overjoyed.
Could it be that he doesn't like other women getting close to him, but... except for her?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
Huo Zhixing definitely treated her differently!
Cheng Xuerou walked into the crowd with her head held high. The female celebrities around her had just witnessed her flirting with Huo Zhixing, and they all cast complicated glances at her.
"Xiaorou!" Nancy rushed over, "What you just did..."
"I just had a drink with Huo Zhixing and we chatted for a bit!" Cheng Xuerou said, afraid that the people around her wouldn't hear.
Nancy's eyes lit up. "You're amazing!"
Cheng Xuerou looked smug and glanced around. Even the glamorous female celebrities who were dressed up seemed to pale in comparison at that moment.
Someone stepped forward with a fake smile, "Xiao Rou is really amazing. Don't be fooled by her short time in the industry; even Third Master Huo has to give her some face!"
The people around him covered their faces and laughed.
The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and these female celebrities have clearly long understood the tricks of the trade.
Although they also wanted to curry favor with Huo Zhixing, this man was someone they couldn't afford to mess with.
Besides, everyone in this circle is shrewd and knows that the future third young mistress is Jiang Can.
Only Cheng Xuerou, this "returned overseas student," was oblivious to the situation and kept showing off. The other female celebrities, of course, couldn't stand it; their flattering remark was actually just making things worse for Cheng Xuerou.
Since they were just idling around at the banquet anyway, the group exchanged glances and tacitly agreed to tease this talented overseas returnee for a bit!
"Xiao Rou, what did the Third Young Master say to you just now? You two were having a really lively conversation!"
"Oh, nothing special." Cheng Xuerou fiddled with her hair. "It just means he doesn't like other women getting close to him!"
The female celebrities smiled but remained silent, while Cheng Xuerou became even more smug.
...
After finishing her work, Jiang Can rushed to the Yao family home, only remembering to send a message to Huo Zhixing on the way.
"Are you getting impatient? I'll be there soon!"
Huo Zhixing was sitting in the lounge, bored out of his mind, when his phone rang. He almost jumped up from the sofa.
That was his personal phone, and it only contained Jiang Can's number.
This woman, she's finally remembered him, hasn't she?
Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, reading the line of text over and over again, a barely perceptible smile appearing in his deep eyes.
He thought, I can't reply to her message so quickly, I have to let her experience being ignored, at least for fifteen minutes!
However, ten seconds after receiving the message, his fingers were already typing rapidly on the screen.
"It's okay, work is important!"
After sending it, he stared at the screen and laughed for a while, then his expression suddenly changed.
Does replying to her like that make him seem too easy to talk to?
So he quickly withdrew his message, and his fingers started flying across the screen again: "CanCan, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm really unhappy! Think about how you're going to comfort me when you get here?"
I sent it out, but then I felt it wasn't appropriate.
Then it was withdrawn.
Jiang Can's phone kept vibrating as she flipped through the messages several times. But when she opened it, she saw more than a dozen identical messages on the screen—"My super handsome husband has retracted a message."
What's going on?
Jiang Can couldn't help but laugh.
He was the one who changed the nickname in her phone, and after he did, he handed the phone back to her with a serious expression.
But Jiang Can felt that he should be saved as Huo San Sui.
The man's behavior in front of her was no different from that of a three-year-old child.
The driver quickly took her to the entrance of the Yao family villa. Jiang Can took off her coat, revealing a simple and elegant ankle-length dress underneath. The starry sky gauze material perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.
As she entered the banquet hall, she immediately saw Huo Zhixing walking down the stairs.
She smiled and was about to go over and give him a hug when someone suddenly stopped her.
"What, you also want to see Young Master Huo?"
Jiang Can was taken aback.
She carefully examined the person in front of her, and felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.
"Young Master Huo said he doesn't like other women getting close to him!"
Jiang Can finally remembered that this was Cheng Xuerou, who was signed with Qingshan Entertainment!
Her heart skipped a beat; so this was Huo Zhixing's white moonlight...
Normally, I either see it in documents or through a screen, so I can't see it clearly. But looking at it closely now, it really is quite extraordinary.
Even without filters, she still stands out in a crowd; she's definitely a beauty.
A wave of jealousy welled up inside Jiang Can.
She bit her lip and subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt, but her face was slightly raised, her chest out and head held high, she couldn't lose face.
"You must be Miss Cheng Xuerou?" Jiang Can chuckled.
"Who do you care who I am? In any case, Young Master Huo won't see you!"
"What, did Huo Zhixing tell you this himself?"
Cheng Xuerou was stunned.
This woman has a distinctly different aura from the two female celebrities she just blocked.
Female celebrities are shallow; they only have pretty faces. They back down after being flattered with a few words.
This one exuded an aura of calm composure, her deep, ink-black eyes concealing all emotions, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at that moment.
Cheng Xuerou felt something was off.
Some of this person's expressions are exactly like Huo Zhixing's!
