The person sitting in the driver's seat has been replaced by a driver.
Although tonight's event is Lu Yangyun's engagement banquet, it is essentially a business social event.
Alcohol is always present in adult social settings.
"Do you want to drink later?" Lin Zhenzhen suddenly asked.
Huo Yeshuo tilted his head: "Maybe."
"Understood." Lin Zhenzhen nodded gently. "I'll do my best to step up when I'm needed to fend off drinks!"
"No need," Huo Yeshuo chuckled softly. "I'm not so low as to let a woman drink for me."
"What do you need me to do later?"
"You don't need to do anything." Huo Yeshuo closed his eyes and rubbed his aching temples. "You just need to stand by my side."
"Huh?" Lin Zhenzhen's eyes widened, seemingly not understanding the meaning of the sentence, but she didn't ask any further questions.
She suddenly raised her hand, and her right index finger lightly touched Huo Yeshuo's cheek as if it were a dragonfly skimming the water.
You look very tired.
Huo Yeshuo opened his eyes, his gaze once again landing on Lin Zhenzhen's earlobe.
"Would you like me to give you a massage?"
Huo Yeshuo paused, his gaze slowly moving upwards, gazing into her eyes: "Okay."
The interior of the luxury sedan is spacious enough that when the partition in the front driver's seat is lowered, the rear seats become a completely enclosed space.
"Is it comfortable?"
The warm, sweet breath caressed Huo Yeshuo's neck, like a soft, boneless hand gently stroking his skin.
"You're so tall, my body is so sore from holding you up."
Lin Zhenzhen's voice was soft but not coquettish; it was like the natural coquettishness of an innocent little girl, which neither men nor women could resist.
Huo Yeshuo opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was her slightly furrowed brows.
"Mr. Huo, could you lower your head a little further?"
Lin Zhenzhen shook her wrist, her lips unconsciously pouting, and the soft flesh on her cheeks puffed out, like a hamster eating.
Huo Yeshuo frowned, his eyes gradually turning dangerous.
"How low?"
"Or you can lean on me." Lin Zhenzhen looked down and then patted her thigh. "Or you can just lie on my lap."
An electric scooter suddenly darted out from the intersection, and the driver slammed on the brakes.
The car tires screeched sharply, leaving a white rut several meters long in the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's cry of pain came from the back compartment.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yeshuo's voice was a little breathless, seemingly lacking his usual composure.
The driver quickly turned his head and apologized: "Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry that someone suddenly darted out from the intersection."
"Keep moving forward."
Huo Yeshuo withdrew his gaze, staring at the face of the person beneath him, and said softly, "Does it hurt a lot? Let me see."
He removed Lin Zhenzhen's hand from her forehead.
Her skin was smooth and flawless, with only a slight redness around her brow bone.
Lin Zhenzhen gasped again, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Ouch, be gentle!"
Huo Yeshuo's hand immediately hovered in mid-air, unsure of what to do.
"I was referring to the hand you put on my waist." Lin Zhenzhen looked away, her cheeks flushed red. "It hurts."
Huo Yeshuo realized what was happening and loosened his grip considerably, but still kept his hand close to her side.
"Feel sorry."
Lin Zhenzhen looked up, and her gaze met his.
Those dark green eyes shimmered slightly, like the dazzling aurora borealis on the horizon, their colors flowing and mesmerizing.
"you......"
"you......"
They both spoke at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.
Lin Zhenzhen pinched the hem of her skirt: "What were you about to say?"
Huo Yeshuo was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "The necklace is beautiful."
Lin Zhenzhen was wearing the iris necklace he had given her a couple of days ago; its simple and clean style matched her dress perfectly.
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and stroked the pendant: "You have good taste."
Why aren't you wearing the earrings I gave you?
Huo Yeshuo's voice carried a barely perceptible chill.
Lin Zhenzhen seemed completely unaware of this, and even gently shook her head, the white pearls swaying in small arcs in the air.
"Isn't this one just as good-looking?"
Huo Yeshuo didn't answer, his eyes fixed on her earlobe, as if he was trying to remember something.
Lin Zhenzhen looked up, her eyes wide, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Do you know what occasion this is tonight?
Lin Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched, as if she was frightened by his appearance, and her voice trembled slightly: "Isn't this a business banquet?"
"Tonight is Lu Yangyun's engagement banquet."
Huo Yeshuo stared into her eyes, gritted his teeth, and repeated, word by word, "Lu Yangyun is engaged."
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes slowly widened, her dark pupils filled with confusion.
She opened her mouth, her tone uncertain and soft: "Brother Yangyun, are you getting married?"
Huo Yeshuo's movements intensified as she called out the name Yang Yun.
He tried to appear calm, but his taut jawline betrayed his inner turmoil.
"Yang Yun, brother?" A forced smile appeared on his lips. "Aren't you two not familiar with each other?"
Lin Zhenzhen frowned, leaned back, and tried to escape from his increasingly tight embrace.
"Mr. Huo, could you please let me go?"
Huo Yeshuo's resentment grew stronger. He called Lu Yangyun "brother" and him "President Huo".
Although he knew this idea was naive, at that moment, emotion triumphed over reason.
The intense jealousy that surged from the depths of his heart transformed Huo Yeshuo, who was usually cold and aloof, into this unreasonable person.
He reached out and put his arm around Lin Zhenzhen's shoulder, completely encircling her in his arms.
Then he grabbed her chin and kissed her recklessly.
