Chapter 98 I wanted to take you, but you took Secretary An

Shang Wanwan was inevitably disappointed.

Compared with Huo Dongming in the past, it is good enough that he is willing to humble himself.

Shang Wanwan clearly read "disgust" on Huo Dongming's face at that moment just now when she asked him whether he wanted to take Yi Xiaxue with him.

But when facing her, he could speak softly and act like a good husband.

Who is he pretending for?

It definitely wasn't her.

Shang Wanwan was in a low mood, and Huo Dongming coaxed her gently: "I'll pick you up after the banquet. Send me the address then."

He bent down and kissed her, then left firmly.

Shang Wanwan looked at his back and her vision became blurry.

Why did she make that request? If she hadn't asked him to accompany her, she wouldn't have humiliated herself.

Seeing that time was almost up, Shang Wanwan began to organize her thoughts.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen valued her talent and favored her, but she couldn't just deal with them casually.

Regardless of whether you agree to be a tutor for someone else's child or not, you should give them the minimum respect.

She dressed herself neatly, changed into a simple and elegant suit, and asked the driver to take her to the hotel where Mr. and Mrs. Chen were holding the banquet.

The hotel was crowded with guests. Although Shang Wanwan was not dressed ostentatiously, her face was eye-catching wherever she went.

Huo Dongming and An Lan arrived before her.

An Lan deliberately customized a well-fitting fiery red evening dress for the evening banquet. She was particularly eye-catching when walking next to Huo Dongming, who was dressed in business attire.

An Lan also comes from a prominent family and has studied abroad for many years, so he has done a good job in managing his body and image.

She and Huo Dongming, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, attracted many people's attention as soon as they appeared.

Many people saw Huo Dongming and rushed to greet him.

But when he saw An Lan beside him, he showed a surprised expression again.

As before, An Lan followed Huo Dongming closely, naturally holding his arm, and walked into the banquet hall in a dignified manner.

The further they walked in, the more Huo Dongming and An Lan felt that something was wrong with the people around them.

Because the guests who come are almost always in pairs or as family units. Very few come alone, and even if they bring a female companion, it is their public girlfriend.

The combination of Huo Dongming and An Lan as a boss and secretary is really eye-catching.

Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen also saw Huo Dongming.

The couple went to greet them together. Mrs. Chen had a standard smile on her face that all noble ladies wore, and she glanced at An Lan who was standing next to Huo Dongming.

"Has Mr. Huo changed his wife again?"

Mrs. Chen looked gentle and generous, but she gave An Lan a fright when she opened her mouth.

She had this intention, but never dared to express it.

Is there something wrong with Mrs. Chen that she suddenly says such things?

Huo Dongming didn't understand what it meant until he saw Mr. Chen and felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

"Mr. Huo probably forgot. I went to listen to Mrs. Huo singing last week. Then I wanted to send her back and Mr. Huo came.

It seems that the person you saw that night was not the one next to you."

The couple worked together to make Huo Dongming look uglier and uglier.

Mr. Chen could tell from Huo Dongming's face that he didn't seem to know that the guests invited today were all families, and he had specified that they should bring their wives.

The wives referred to here are of course the principal wife and the legal girlfriend.

Huo Dongming was the only one who brought a secretary with him at the meeting all night. If he was not married, it would be understandable, but since he was married and brought a secretary with him, it was hard to look at them in the eye.

An Lan felt guilty. The invitation letter did say that Mrs. Huo had to accompany them, but An Lan didn't want Shang Wanwan to follow Huo Dongming around. She had always been the woman by Huo Dongming's side.

"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, excuse me for a moment."

Huo Dongming wanted to know what had happened. Under his gaze, An Lan pulled her hand away awkwardly.

She didn't dare to follow him, and Mrs. Chen stopped An Lan.

"Ms. An is a very dedicated secretary. But today is our daughter's birthday party, and we need the guests to be normal families. I wonder if Miss An understands what I mean."

Mrs. Chen is standing up for Shang Wanwan.

The party is almost over, but the girl is nowhere to be seen.

It's really inappropriate for Huo Dongming's secretary to be here.

An Lan's face turned red and then pale, but she had no intention of leaving. Instead, she bypassed the couple and went after Huo Dongming.

"Mr. Huo has quite a few beauties around him."

Mrs. Chen had a gloomy face and Mr. Chen put his arm around her shoulders.

"I think it's possible that the secretary made the decision on his own, and Huo Dongming may not be aware of it."

Mrs. Chen pushed Mr. Chen's hand away and said angrily, "You men always speak for other men. I'm going to say hello to my friends over there."

Mrs. Chen walked forward and Mr. Chen followed.

Huo Dongming looked around the banquet hall and found that most of the guests were in pairs, all of them were couples or lovers.

He turned around and saw An Lan following him.

"Secretary An, explain to me what is going on."

Huo Dongming's cold eyes fell on An Lan's slightly panicked face. The answer was already obvious.

Less than three meters away from Huo Dongming and An Lan, a nimble and graceful woman stood quietly facing them.

This unexpected encounter completely shattered Shang Wanwan's last dream.

She looked from afar at her husband who had told her two hours ago that he was going to attend a party without any female companion, and now appeared at the party with his secretary who was dressed seductively.

They are a perfect match, with the man being handsome and the woman being beautiful.

Shang Wanwan's lips curled up with extreme sarcasm. She was so stupid that she believed Huo Dongming's lies again and again.

Why don't you wake up until now?

An Lan was stunned. No one had informed Shang Wanwan to attend Chen Rongsheng's family dinner, so why did she come?

Huo Dongming stood there with his posture straight, feeling unhappy.

Shang Wanwan looked at her husband and his secretary with a normal expression, feeling humiliated as if she had been stripped naked and left in public.

Huo Dongming's thin lips were tinged with displeasure: "I said there was an important private banquet today, why did you come here?"

Shang Wanwan narrowed her beautiful eyes, feeling as if thousands of needles were piercing her heart.

When she looked up and saw Huo Dongming and An Lan standing beside him, she was exceptionally calm.

Has Huo Dongming performed too few scenes like this?

While saying sweet words to her, she deceived him into being with another woman.

Before it was Yi Xiaxue, now it is An Lan.

But is there a difference?

He doesn't love her, so he won't allow her to be around him.

Even if it wasn't Yi Xiaxue, it wouldn't be her Shang Wanwan.

Because he still has An Lan, or some other woman.

She is not playing whack-a-mole, constantly busy sweeping away the endless stream of bad lovers that keep popping up around him.

Shang Wanwan reached into her bag with her slender fingers and took out a gold-embossed invitation.

"Huo Dongming, don't say you didn't see the invitation letter from Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen. It specifically states that you should bring your family members. I wanted to bring you, but you brought Secretary An."
