Chapter 2334: A Rogue Like Him
Mu Xin always told Fu Zichen that her life felt like it was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes up, sometimes down. Her life hit a low point in those two years, as if she had pressed the slow-motion button. She was suffering every day, repeating the same thing, and it seemed like there would never be an end in sight.
But in the past two months, things have suddenly fast-forwarded, the marriage issue has been resolved, and we even have a child.
She lamented the impermanence of life, but Fu Zichen felt that it was this impermanence that made life more charming, so they should cherish every day they were together.
Another dance music started, Fu Zichen kissed her cheek, she placed her hand in his, and the two of them walked onto the dance floor in tacit understanding...
While the talented and beautiful couple Fu Zichen and Mu Xin were dancing gracefully on the dance floor, attracting countless envious glances, at the other end of the dance floor, a couple was like hedgehogs, hurting each other while dancing. Either the woman stepped on the man's foot, or the man pinched the woman's waist in revenge.
But they still have to maintain superficial harmony. They smile and whisper in each other's ears from time to time. If you don't know, you would think they are saying some blushing sweet words.
The man laughed and said, "So you tried to get her to run away with you, but she didn't want to leave at all. She just wanted to embarrass you, so she played along with you?"
Xiao Hanlu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "My father forced him to do this. He didn't dare to be with me."
"Then this guy is quite weak," the man said disapprovingly. He narrowed his eyes at her and continued to talk to himself: "So what do you like about him? Is he good in bed?"
"...It's none of your business." Xiao Hanlu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.
I only remembered him as a straightforward and easy-going person. I didn't remember him being so talkative. He was just a complete jerk...
"Of course it's my business. Now that you are my girlfriend, I have to find out clearly what exactly is better about your girlfriend's ex than me. Once you know your own shortcomings, you can work on them. This way, you won't be distracted and think about others while being with me." Huo Senze said with a smile.
“…”
Xiao Hanlu was completely speechless. She had never seen anyone with such a thick skin.
"Could you please stop hugging me so tightly?" She turned around uncomfortably.
Huo Senze didn't let go and said, "If I don't hold you tighter, how can I let your dad believe that I really like you and am with you?"
"He didn't come again."
"But his subordinates are coming," Huo Senze said, leaning close to her ear as if kissing it gently. "Don't look up now. Pay attention to the second floor on your left. Are your father's men standing there?"
Huo Senze turned around with her and Xiao Hanlu glanced upstairs. It was indeed her father's men...
She closed her eyes and said angrily, "You've got it easy today."
Huo Senze, however, pressed her into his arms again: "This is a bargain for me."
"What's wrong with you..." Xiao Hanlu stared at the man in front of her with a red face. She couldn't believe that he couldn't restrain himself in public.
"Are you so surprised?" He laughed. "If you don't react when you're hugging me so tightly, you're not a man. Could it be that your ex doesn't react to you?"
When Xiao Hanlu heard that the topic was about to go off track and was about Si Nan again, she quickly asked him to stop.
She didn't want to talk to him about Si Nan now.
After that, no matter what Huo Senze did or said, she ignored him. She wanted to finish the dance quickly, then say hello to Shi Chenyuan and Cheng Xiaoyu, send her blessings, and then leave.
Today she received an invitation from Shi Chenyuan to attend the wedding.
Huo Senze attended the event with her as her boyfriend.
Their circle is so small that between groups and families, even between competitors, as long as they don't become enemies, they will get along on the surface.
Even though my father's company has conflicts with Times, Gu's, and now Chu's, they are still cooperative relationships on the surface.
No matter how turbulent undercurrents there are beneath the calm surface, to outsiders, they are harmonious partners.
So when Shi Chenyuan invited her to attend the wedding, she went to ask her father for his opinion. Her father, Xiao Chongyang, naturally agreed to let her attend, but with one requirement, which was that she bring her boyfriend with her.
And her boyfriend is Huo Senze.
The reason why the two came together was not because of love, but a choice made after both of them weighed the pros and cons.
There are two major forces behind Huo Senze. One is his own family. Even though he doesn't have a business empire, Mr. Huo is highly respected and is the kind of person his father would want to make friends with.
The other is the Chu Group. Huo Senze holds a certain amount of shares in the Chu Group and is also the group's vice president. His influence and role in the Chu Group cannot be underestimated.
My father knew that Chu Lingfeng was no match for him, but he didn't want to give up the big fish, the Chu family, so he started with Huo Senze.
So her father hopes that she can win over Huo Senze and become the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
In this way, he would have his own people within the Chu family, and at the same time he would form an in-law relationship with the Huo family, which would be a perfect match with no disadvantages.
She agreed to her father's request, but with only one condition, which was to release Si Nan.
She had already learned that Si Nan left her because of threats and coercion from his father.
In order to protect his own family, Si Nan had to accept the job his father offered him at a foreign research institute. He was told that he could not contact the outside world to prevent leaks. In fact, his father did not allow him to contact Hanlu.
Her father has admitted that it was he who broke up her love and controlled Si Nan's fate.
All Xiao Hanlu could do was accept the current situation.
If she doesn't marry Huo Senze, she will marry someone else whom she doesn't love but who is beneficial to her father.
So she thought it over. Since she couldn't fight against her father no matter what, she decided not to fight him. Before compromising, there was only one condition, which was to release Si Nan.
Her father agreed to her conditions. As long as she captured Huo Senze and became the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, Si Nan would be free immediately.
In order to complete this task, she investigated the situation of the Huo family and learned that Mr. Huo had already found a partner for Huo Senze. She was the granddaughter of his comrade-in-arms. The two old men had already made an engagement. The girl liked Huo Senze very much, but Huo Senze always refused to talk about marriage for various reasons.
The old man gave Huo Senze an ultimatum: if he couldn't find a partner within two years, he had to fulfill the marriage contract, otherwise Huo Senze would not be allowed to call him grandpa anymore. Huo Senze was helpless, but he had no choice but to agree.
But Huo's mother didn't like the girl at all. She thought she was not pretty enough and her personality was too noisy, so she kept helping Huo Senze look for a partner, hoping to find a better one for her son, or let him date someone he liked.
It's a pity that Huo Senze has never been interested.
Seeing that the old man was going to force Huo Senze to fulfill the engagement, Huo's mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night. She didn't ask for anything else, she just hoped that her son would have a happy marriage and not marry a woman he didn't love.
Since Huo Senze was the vice president of the Chu Corporation, Xiao Hanlu went straight to her brother, Chu Lingfeng, to ask why Huo Senze was still single. Was he simply too picky and hadn't found anyone he liked? Or was he just someone he couldn't let go of? Or, could he just be attracted to men?
Only after a thorough investigation can she conquer him!
After asking this question, I found out that Huo Senze used to like Mu Ying, but Mu Ying chose Chu Lingfeng.
I guess Huo Senze hasn't let go of Mu Ying yet.
After learning this information, Xiao Hanlu felt relieved and took the initiative to find Huo Senze...
