Huo Beian's gaze remained fixed on the entrance to the hall, and he anxiously checked his watch.
The banquet has been over for half an hour, why hasn't my wife arrived yet?
My wife isn't not coming, is she?
At that moment, he looked at the crowd.
In the crowd, everyone surrounded Qiu Ya, praising her, "Qiu Ya, you are so beautiful."
"Qiu Ya, you're definitely the center of attention tonight."
Hearing everyone's praise, Qiu Ya was incredibly proud. She held her head high, like a noble white swan.
Huo Beian frowned; this woman was truly vulgar.
Qiu Ya noticed Huo Beian's gaze and looked at her, so she immediately walked towards him.
"Brother Sicheng, do I look pretty today?"
Huo Beian turned his head to the side. "Sorry, I have face blindness. Also, I forgot who you are, so please don't call me that."
Qiu Ya looked completely innocent. "Brother Sicheng, you weren't like this to me before. You're making me really sad."
Her voice was sweet and delicate.
Huo Beian felt goosebumps all over his body.
He quickly moved away from her.
Qiu Ya was furious. "Brother Sicheng!"
Ever since Lian Sicheng lost his memory in the car accident, he's been like a completely different person, and he's been extremely cold towards her.
She felt really annoyed that she wanted to eat something but couldn't.
Brother Sicheng, when will you regain your memory and remember her?
Huo Beian walked towards the banquet entrance, intending to see if Song Ning was blocked at the door, but Lian Sino stopped him.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Huo Beian glanced at him. "Where I go is none of your business."
"Big brother, you're the star of the company's annual party. What if we can't find you later?"
Lian Sino was deliberately trying to upset him.
Huo Beian ignored him and continued to look towards the door.
Just as Huo Beian was feeling anxious, the lights at the entrance suddenly came on.
A woman with an elegant figure walked in.
Song Ning was dressed in a low-cut evening gown studded with diamonds, wearing light makeup, and her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders. She was adorned with jewels from head to toe, exuding a fragrant aura, and carrying a luxury handbag.
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Some people exclaimed in admiration.
"That woman is so beautiful."
"Yes, she's even more beautiful than a celebrity."
Qiu Ya was originally the center of attention at the banquet, with everyone revolving around her, but Song Ning's arrival immediately overshadowed Qiu Ya.
Qiu Ya stomped her feet in anger.
Who is this woman? Why is she trying to steal her thunder?
She immediately asked the people around her, "Who is this woman?"
"Don't you know? Song Ning is a newly popular internet celebrity. She gained millions of points overnight, a phenomenal internet celebrity."
"Heh, she's actually an internet celebrity. A third-rate internet celebrity, and she actually came to this party."
Looking at Song Ning's beautiful and noble appearance, she gritted her teeth in anger.
Her once beautiful face began to become distorted.
Huo Beian was overjoyed to see that it was Song Ning who had arrived.
He immediately stepped forward, bent down, placed one hand behind his back, and stretched out the other.
Song Ning then placed her hand on his, and the two walked hand in hand toward the banquet hall.
In the center of the banquet hall, lights and music began to play.
Everyone started randomly choosing their dance partners.
Huo Beian and Song Ning started dancing a waltz right in the center of the stage.
"Wife, you smell so good."
Huo Beian put his arm around Song Ning's waist, feeling an unbelievable sense of reality.
He finally met his wife.
"Huo Beian, why are you wearing a mask?"
Song Ning was very curious. Although Huo Beian was wearing a mask, Song Ning still recognized him at a glance.
"Of course, it's to surprise you. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"I'm afraid it won't be a pleasant surprise, but a shock. This is my first time in an event like this, and I'm a little nervous."
Song Ning whispered in his ear.
"What's there to be afraid of? This is my first time too."
Huo Beian chuckled and continued dancing with Song Ning.
It feels so good to have a relationship on the company's dime.
The handsome man and beautiful woman instantly became the focus of the entire event.
At that moment, Qiu Ya stared at them with wide eyes, her fingernails digging into her palms with envy.
Lian Sino came over and extended her hand, "Miss Qiu Ya, how about we dance?"
Not to be outdone, Qiu Ya also wanted to provoke Lian Sicheng, so she reached out her hand and agreed to Lian Sino's dance.
On stage, the two teams teamed up and began a dance battle.
After several rounds, Huo Beian and Song Ning's partnership still performed better.
Seeing the lively atmosphere, the old man stepped forward and picked up the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for attending my son's banquet. As you all know, my son was in a car accident and has undergone plastic surgery, so you haven't seen him yet. Today is the day for you all to meet him."
After saying that, he looked at Huo Beian and said, "Sicheng, quickly take off your mask so everyone can see you and you can say a few words to them."
Huo Beian then slowly removed his mask.
When Song Ning saw it, she was stunned for a moment. Underneath the mask was a face that looked about 70% like Huo Beian's.
Although not exactly the same, it's still handsome enough.
The others were also stunned when they saw this.
He's so handsome.
Huo Beian stepped forward, took the microphone, stood up straight, and spoke to the crowd.
"Thank you all for coming to my welcome dinner today. I have some good news to announce: I'm getting engaged."
Immediately, everyone started talking about whose daughter was so lucky to marry the son of the richest man.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ya couldn't help but smile and straighten her back.
It seems that Lian Sicheng wants to acknowledge her as his fiancée.
Several of her close friends flattered her, saying, "Qiu Ya, Lian Sicheng is going to announce your marriage in public."
"I'm so envious."
"That's right, Brother Sicheng has always liked me very much." Qiu Ya was overjoyed.
She was overjoyed that he was about to announce their marriage, but Huo Beian's next words chilled her to the bone.
My girlfriend is—Song Ning.
After saying that, Huo Beian stepped forward, took her hand, and announced to everyone, "We're getting engaged soon."
The entire audience was immediately shocked and stunned.
Qiu Ya's face also contorted.
Her friends looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Qiu Ya, what's going on? Shouldn't you be Lian Sicheng's girlfriend?"
Qiu Ya was at a loss for words and could only use the excuse of going to the toilet to cover up her embarrassment.
"I need to go to the restroom first."
After she left, the group of women huddled together and started gossiping.
"Could it be that Qiu Ya was dumped by Lian Sicheng a long time ago?"
"Yeah, she always acts like the daughter-in-law of the richest man. I can't stand it."
"They absolutely deserve it."
Qiu Ya hadn't gone far when she heard the murmurs behind her, which made her furious.
