Jian Yu regretted it; she shouldn't have worn high heels. Even though they were only 5 centimeters high, they were still quite tiring to wear.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang! Hello, Mr. Shen!"
After greeting them, Jian Yu prepared to walk past the two and leave.
To everyone's surprise, the two men followed her toward the sofa.
Jian Yu didn't want to chat with strangers in the rest area. Just as she was about to say something to ask the two to leave, they suddenly looked behind her. "Mr. Huo, hello!"
Just as Jian Yu was about to turn around, Huo Qizhen placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her from turning.
Jian Yu's skin was slightly cool, while Huo Qizhen's hands were very warm. The moment their skin touched, Jian Yu felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't remove his hand.
Huo Qizhen noticed that his subordinates' bodies had become somewhat stiff, their eyelids twitched, and he subtly raised his hand, turning it into a stroking motion.
Huo Qizhen stood behind Jian Yu, shielding her entire back with his body, and naturally reached out with his other hand to shake hands with Jiang Chen and the other person.
Jiang and Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
With Huo Qizhen making such a protective gesture, the two naturally dared not linger with Jian Yu any longer and quickly made an excuse to leave.
Jian Yu slightly moved his shoulder, and Huo Qizhen withdrew his hand.
"These two people don't have a good reputation, you don't need to pay them any attention."
They came to support her because they thought she would be bullied.
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Huo."
Jian Yu hid her embarrassment. For a moment, she had been a little narcissistic, thinking that Mr. Huo was interested in her.
Once Mr. Huo raised his hand slightly, her narcissism vanished.
Continue walking towards the sofa.
Huo Qizhen lagged behind Jian Yu and walked to the sofa, just as Yan Shi and Feng Mi finished their opening dance.
Before Yan Shi could leave, the music changed, and many people joined in.
Whether intentionally or not, it just so happened that the two of them were surrounded.
Feng Mi reacted quickly, grabbing Yan Shi's hand and continuing to jump down.
Since it was impossible to shake her off, he jumped up to match her movements, but instead pulled her towards the outer perimeter.
Feng Mi discovered his intention and cleverly led him back to the center.
Huo Qizhen's status wouldn't allow him to just stay quietly in the corner; soon, people gathered around him.
Jian Yu and Huo Qizhen sat on the sofa in the middle, while the others sat on either side. At first, they glanced at Jian Yu intentionally or unintentionally. They didn't mean anything by it; they were just curious. Unlike Jiang Chen and his two playboys, their attention was not on a bunch of beautiful women.
They could see clearly that it was the young master of the Yan family who had been with them.
Wasn't Young Master Yan supposed to be engaged to the Feng family?
Why are you spending time with other women instead of your fiancée?
An assistant rushed over, carrying a handbag from a high-end luxury brand.
Slightly out of breath, the assistant handed the bag to Huo Qizhen. "Mr. Huo, this is the latest summer shawl, perfect for use in air-conditioned rooms."
Huo Qizhen reached into the bag, took out a shawl, and draped it over Jian Yu's shoulders, saying, "Your skin is too cold."
Amidst the shock of those around them, she carefully took out Jian Yu's long hair and placed it on her shawl.
Grandma Yan and Grandma Qi, who had been watching Jian Yu's movements from a distance, stood up in surprise. Wasn't Jian Yu dating Yan Shi?
Why are you so close to Kenneth Fok?
Grandma Qi had a complicated expression. Huo Qizhen was young and promising, and had an outstanding appearance. Few of the young girls present could resist him.
Her granddaughter is the same.
She was just thinking of an excuse to get to know him.
Grandma Yan was conflicted. She didn't want Jian Yu to pester Yan Shi, but she also didn't want Jian Yu to have intimate interactions with other men.
Even if Jian Yu wants to find another partner, she has to wait until Yan Shi gets engaged.
This situation makes her very unhappy.
Jian Yu stared blankly at Huo Qizhen's handsome face so close to hers. Just now, when he lightly touched her shoulder, he noticed that her skin was a little cold, so he had someone bring her a shawl.
Jian Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said "Oh".
At this moment, Huo Tingzhen returned after touching up her makeup.
Huo Qizhen got up and led everyone to another place to talk, giving up his seat.
Yan Zhuo naturally joined their team.
Knowing that Yan Zhuo was accompanying Huo Tingzhen to touch up her makeup, Old Madam Yan thought that Yan Zhuo understood her meaning and was starting to care about people.
I finally felt a little better.
Before she could be happy for long, Yan Shi finally broke free from Feng Mi and rushed to Jian Yu.
Old Mrs. Yan's brow twitched. What was going on with this Yan Shi?
Why can't he be like his brother and follow his arrangements?
Feng Mi narrowed his eyes and stood at a distance, not following them.
Because her mother stopped her.
"Mom, why are you stopping me?"
Feng's mother said, "You should change your approach."
Feng Mi followed her mother's gaze and saw Huo Qizhen surrounded by the crowd.
"Did you see the shawl Jian Yu was wearing?"
Feng Mi turned his head to look over.
"That was just delivered by Huo Qizhen because of the dress Jian Yu was wearing."
"What's wrong with the dress?"
Feng Mi did not notice anything wrong with Jian Yu's formal attire.
"Her back is too exposed."
Feng Mi still didn't understand. Her dress also had a very exposed back, and it wasn't just her; many people here were showing off their shoulders, backs, and legs. What was wrong with that?
"This is due to a man's possessiveness."
A man who dislikes other men looking at a woman's sexy back will only exhibit possessiveness towards a woman he likes.
"Today is Old Madam Yan's birthday banquet. Even if Jian Yu needs a shawl, she should ask Yan Shi for it. Even if Huo Qizhen gave her a shawl, Jian Yu could have just put it on herself; there was no need for him to do it for her personally. Huo Qizhen didn't avoid any appearance of impropriety in front of everyone. What does that mean?"
Feng Mi picked up the conversation, "Huo Qizhen is announcing his stance."
Mother Feng nodded slowly, "That's right."
Feng Mi immediately had someone summon Huo Qizhen alone in Feng Mi's name.
Seeing Feng Mi on the balcony, Huo Qizhen was not surprised. "Miss Feng!"
Feng Mi swirled the wine in his glass. "Mr. Huo isn't surprised at all to see me?"
Huo Qizhen replied very perfunctorily, "I'm very surprised."
"I couldn't tell at all."
"Miss Feng, is there something you need from me?"
"I would like to discuss a deal with Mr. Huo."
Huo Qizhen lowered his eyes, and Feng Mi could not discern his emotions. "Mr. Huo knows that Jian Yu and Yan Shi are dating, right? Then you should know that Yan Shi is my arranged marriage partner, and their relationship won't last."
"As far as I know, Yan Shi is not willing to form a marriage alliance."
Feng Mi almost lost his composure, "That's why I need Mr. Huo's help."
How can I help?
"Mr. Huo likes Jian Yu, doesn't he? Jian Yu lives right next door to you. Doesn't it hurt to see her with Yan Shi every day? Haven't you ever thought about taking her away from him?"
Huo Qizhen's gaze turned cold, and he remained silent for a long time.
