Chapter 447: Wholehearted
"You said you weren't jealous, but I'm almost passing out from the vinegar smell."
Huo Yunting's voice was full of joy. Xiao Muzhen was so angry that she stepped on his foot.
Hearing his painful gasp, Xiao Muzhen snorted coldly, "Serves you right!"
Huo Yunting: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, he embraced Xiao Muzhen again and whispered, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry."
If he had enough ability to protect her, he wouldn't have needed to hide so many things from her, and there would be no misunderstanding between the two of them.
Xiao Muzhen thought he was apologizing for secretly investigating the Xiao family, so she pursed her lips and said, "As long as you promise me that you won't do anything to the Xiao family, I will forgive you."
"Okay, I promise I won't hurt the Xiao family!"
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's lips finally curled up and she hugged him back, "Okay, then I'll reluctantly forgive you."
"Um."
After a while, Xiao Muzhen realized that he had no intention of letting go of her, and couldn't help but say, "It's pitch black in here, I can't see anything, let's go out."
"good."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the box, Xiao Muzhen let go of Huo Yunting's hand, looked up at him and said, "I have to meet the designer with Manager Yan later. We will go back together after the banquet."
When mentioning Yan Nan, Huo Yunting couldn't help but frown.
"Your company has so many designers, why did he only bring you and no one else? I think he has bad intentions towards you."
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but glance at him sideways, "Do you think everyone treats me as a hot commodity like you do?"
"That's right. Anyway, stay away from him. I feel uncomfortable seeing him standing next to you."
"We are just ordinary colleagues. Do I have to stop talking to other men because of you?"
"If you want, I can do it."
Xiao Muzhen laughed angrily, "You're dreaming. I won't waste my time talking to you. I'll go over first."
She turned around to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Huo Yunting.
Before I could react, I fell into a warm embrace.
Huo Yunting's kisses fell all over Xiao Muzhen. Xiao Muzhen froze for a moment, and quickly pushed him away, saying unhappily, "There are people coming and going here all the time. Are you crazy?!"
"I kiss my own wife, who dares to say it's wrong?"
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Seeing her unhappy face, Huo Yunting didn't want the person he just coaxed to ignore her again in the blink of an eye, so he whispered: "Okay, I get it. I will try my best to restrain myself in the future when I am outside."
"Well, I'll go back first. You can come back to the banquet hall in a few minutes."
Huo Yunting was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Muzhen's nervous look. He was not a shameful person, so why did she act like a thief?
However, looking at her looking around, I couldn't help but find her cute, and my mood unconsciously improved.
Until Xiao Muzhen walked into the banquet hall, Huo Yunting stood there for a while before slowly walking towards the banquet hall.
After the two left, the door of another box next to them suddenly opened, and Guo Zhenzhen walked out in a daze.
Her face was pale and her eyes were full of disbelief.
At first, she didn't believe that Huo Yunting had a woman he liked, but when she heard Huo Yunting talking to Xiao Muzhen in such a gentle and helpless and doting tone through the door just now, she finally understood that Huo Yunting really didn't like her.
Thinking about how cold he was to her but so gentle to Xiao Muzhen, Guo Zhenzhen felt unbalanced.
Moreover, she didn't think she was inferior to Xiao Muzhen in any way. As long as she was willing to work hard, one day she would be able to make Huo Yunting fall in love with her!
Thinking of this, a glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes!
Xiao Muzhen returned to the banquet and met some more designers with Yan Nan. When the banquet was about to end, Guo Zhenzhen suddenly came over with a glass of wine.
"Ms. Xiao, Guo's and Qingshang have collaborated a lot. I've seen your designs and think they're great. I've decided to appoint you as the designer for the Guo's clothing brand. Are you willing?"
Looking at the smile on Guo Zhenzhen's face, Xiao Muzhen felt a little strange.
I have only met Guo Zhenzhen a few times. When we met just now, her attitude towards me was quite cold. Why did she suddenly change her attitude now?
She took the wine handed to her by Guo Zhenzhen with a smile and answered without making any mistakes.
"I'm very grateful to Ms. Guo for her affirmation of me. I also want to design clothes for Guo's, but ultimately I have to follow the company's arrangements."
Guo Zhenzhen's smile deepened. "Don't worry about that. Guo's has been working with Qingshang for so long, so I should be able to specify which designer I want. What do you think, Manager Yan?"
Yan Nan smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Design, since Miss Guo is so sure of you, you two should add each other's contact information now so that we can communicate in the future."
Xiao Muzhen frowned slightly. In fact, she didn't really want to have any contact with Guo Zhenzhen. After all, Guo Zhenzhen was now pestering Huo Yunting. If the two had work dealings, Guo Zhenzhen might discover her relationship with Huo Yunting at any time.
However, Guo Zhenzhen is the party A, so if she insists on appointing me, I have no choice but to accept it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muzhen took out his phone and said with a smile: "Okay."
After the two added each other on WeChat, Guo Zhenzhen clinked glasses with her and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Xiao Design, happy cooperation in the future!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, "Okay, happy cooperation."
Seeing that she had drunk the wine, Guo Zhenzhen said nothing more and turned away.
Looking at her back, Xiao Muzhen had a feeling that she came to find him on purpose today. Did she know about her relationship with Huo Yunting?
Xiao Muzhen couldn't drink much, and he felt dizzy not long after finishing that glass of wine. His answers to others were completely conditioned reflexes.
After finally making it to the end of the banquet, she said to Yan Nan, "Manager Yan, I won't go back with you tonight. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Yan Nan's eyes were filled with worry. "Are you okay like this? How about I take you there? If I had known you couldn't drink so much, I wouldn't have let you drink."
Xiao Muzhen waved his hands and instantly felt even more dizzy.
"No need, I'll just go out and get some fresh air. Goodbye, Manager Yan."
"Okay, then be careful. Call me if anything happens. Let me know when you get home."
Xiao Muzhen didn't reply, turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
When she walked into the elevator, she stumbled and fell straight into the elevator.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her waist.
After he stood firm, he saw that the person who supported him was Shi Yiheng, and he couldn't help but frowned. If Huo Yunting saw it, he might misunderstand him again.
Just as Xiao Muzhen was about to push him away, her wrist was grabbed by another person.
The next second, she was pulled into an embrace with a pine scent.
"Mr. Shi, please stay away from my wife!"
