Coming to her senses, Sun Li said to Huang Doudou somewhat shyly, "Didn't you think Mom looked beautiful in this dress? So I asked for it back!" Her voice was slightly low, and seemed to carry a hint of shyness.
Upon hearing Sun Li's words, Chef Huang couldn't help but turn his gaze to her. He saw that Sun Li's cheeks suddenly flushed red, like a ripe apple, making one feel a surge of tenderness.
A strange feeling welled up in Huang Xiaochu's heart, a feeling that was hard to describe.
Just as their car arrived at the entrance of the residential area, the taxi that Wang Hu was in also arrived.
After Wang Hu got out of the car, he had a smile on his face. Huang Xiaochu happened to see him and said, "Mr. Wang, what a coincidence!"
Wang Hu smiled and replied, "Yes, Mr. Wang, it is indeed quite a coincidence!"
He waved to Sun Li and Huang Doudou behind him and said, "Sister Li, Doudou, hello!"
Sun Li's gaze fell on Wang Hu, and when she saw the box in Wang Hu's hand, her face instantly turned red, as radiant as the sunset.
However, because the lights at the entrance of the residential area were rather dim, this change did not attract much attention.
Sun Li took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She smiled and nodded to Wang Hu, saying softly, "Hello, Wang Hu!"
Just then, another black Mercedes slowly drove up. Fan Xiaopang, sitting in the back seat, took in the whole scene through the car window.
She observed the interaction between Sun Li and Wang Hu with great interest, secretly finding the scene extremely amusing.
If she hadn't witnessed Wang Hu and Sun Li's tryst, probably no one would have imagined that they had such a relationship.
She quietly instructed the driver to bring the car to a slow stop, then gracefully opened the car door and walked towards Wang Hu and the others with light steps.
"Hello, Teacher Huang, Teacher Sun, and Dou Dou!" She smiled and spoke in a clear, melodious voice, like a nightingale in spring.
Hearing the greeting from behind, Chef Huang quickly turned around, a happy smile on his face, and replied, "Bingbing, hello there!"
Wang Hu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but be drawn to Fan Xiaopang, who was exchanging pleasantries with Huang Xiaochu's family.
At this moment, Fan Xiaopang was at the peak of her beauty. She wore a black wool coat, but it couldn't hide her stunning figure. Her skin was as white as snow, as smooth and lustrous as mutton fat jade; her large eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with life; beneath her high, straight nose, her lips were painted with light lipstick, and a slight smile played at the corners of her mouth, making one feel as warm as a spring breeze.
Wang Hu couldn't help but recall her portrayal of Yang Guifei; her elegant and graceful appearance, her charming and captivating demeanor, were deeply imprinted in his mind. Especially the passionate scene between him and Luna on horseback, which intensified his feelings upon remembering that drama.
Fan Xiaopang seemed to sense Wang Hu's gaze. She turned her head and met his eyes. Wang Hu's handsome appearance and deep eyes made her nod involuntarily, secretly admiring him.
However, Wang Hu's fixed gaze made Fan Xiaopang a little uncomfortable, but she wasn't angry; instead, she found it quite amusing.
She turned to look at Chef Huang beside her and asked with a smile, "May I ask who this is?"
Huang Xiaochu quickly introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is Xiaolu's boyfriend, Wang Hu, the boss of Tiger King Fund."
Fan Xiaopang had felt that Wang Hu's face looked somewhat familiar, and after Huang Xiaochu reminded her, she immediately remembered it, and her eyes lit up.
Wearing 10cm high heels, she walked briskly up to Wang Hu, extended her hand, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang! I didn't expect you to be so handsome!"
Wang Hu held her hand and said, "Miss Fan, hello, you're very beautiful too!"
Seeing the two shaking hands and showing no intention of letting go, Sun Li, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
He coughed twice and said to Dou Dou, "Baby, are you feeling cold? Let's go home!"
Fan Xiaopang's gaze lingered on Wang Hu, thinking to himself, "I could use their relationship later!"
Upon hearing the cough, Wang Hu and Fan Xiaopang released each other's hands.
Watching Sun Li's family walk away, Wang Hu said to Fan Xiaopang beside him, "It's getting a bit cold, Miss Fan, let's go inside too. We can chat again another time."
Fan Xiaopang and Wang Hu walked slowly side by side behind.
Fan Xiaopang looked at the box in Wang Hu's hand and asked, "Mr. Wang, is this the necklace that cost 20 million? Can I ask who it's for?"
Wang Hu glanced at Sun Li, who was walking ahead, and said, "Of course it's for the woman I love!"
Sun Li, who was walking ahead, felt her jealousy instantly subside upon hearing Wang Hu's words.
Fan Xiaopang complimented, "Your girlfriend is so lucky!"
They arrived at the building where they lived, and Wang Hu said to her, "Thank you for the compliment. I'll treat you to a meal sometime!" Then he took the elevator with Sun Li and her family.
The elevator slowly ascended, and Huang Xiaochu looked at the box in her hand with great joy, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. She said softly, "This necklace is really beautiful, Xiaolu will definitely like it."
Wang Hu, standing to the side, absentmindedly replied with a couple of perfunctory words: "Yeah, yeah! I think so too!" Then, he secretly winked at Sun Li, hinting that she shouldn't forget what she had promised him.
After returning home, Sun Li first put her daughter to sleep, then went to her room to take a shower and relax. She went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and let the warm water wash over her body, hoping to ease her inner tension.
After taking a shower, Sun Li came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, only to find Huang Xiaochu standing by the bed, seemingly wanting to hug her. She quickly reached out to stop him, saying apologetically, "I had a little to drink today and I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'd like to rest first."
Huang Xiaochu looked at Sun Li, who was already lying down, and assumed that she was really unwell, so he didn't say anything more and obediently lay down on the other side of the bed, and soon fell asleep.
However, Sun Li's emotions remained unsettled for a long time. Her heart pounded like a frightened rabbit, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, the image of another man constantly appearing in her mind—Wang Hu, whom she had known for less than two days.
Only after she heard that familiar snoring and was sure that Huang Xiaochu was fast asleep did she carefully get out of bed, afraid of waking him.
Then, she tiptoed to the wardrobe, gently opened the door, and rummaged through the clothes she had brought back from the event.
