Chapter 121 Misunderstanding Resolved
Seeing Huo Juncheng sitting aside and not saying anything, Chu Siran became anxious: "Hey, Huo Juncheng, are you mute?"
Huo Juncheng frowned fiercely when he heard Chu Siran's words. He glanced at Chu Siran, who was about to jump with anger, and then at Lin Yilan, who was as quiet as a mountain. It seemed as if Chu Siran was his fiancée.
"What's there to say? Lin Yilan has always been my fiancée, and the person I want to marry is naturally Lin Yilan." After Huo Juncheng finished speaking, he stood up and took Lin Yilan's hand.
Lin Yilan was slightly stunned. Huo Juncheng just took her hand in front of everyone. Although she was a little shy, she was still very happy.
"Mrs. Chu, if you really asked me to come here today because you want Chu Xi to marry me, as Chu Siran said, then I can only say that Lin Yilan is my fiancée. This is an indisputable fact. I have other things to do at the company, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Chu Xi saw Huo Juncheng was about to leave, and she immediately jumped down from her seat. "Huo Juncheng, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
"I'm sorry Chu Xi, I've already said that I just treat you as my sister. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After Huo Juncheng finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he took Lin Yilan's hand and walked out of the Chu family's gate.
Although Lin Yilan felt that it was a bit unfair to leave Chu Xi alone in the Chu family, she felt inexplicably relieved.
Huo Juncheng did this, and she had to say she was very satisfied.
"Hey, Huo Juncheng, do you really not like Chu Xi?" After returning to the Huo family, Lin Yilan began to question Huo Juncheng.
When asked by Lin Yilan, Huo Juncheng laughed helplessly and patted Lin Yilan's head: "Didn't I say it at the Chu family? I just treat Chu Xi as a younger sister."
After a pause, Huo Juncheng continued, "Although Chu Xi has really helped me a lot in the company, I also gave her the benefits she deserved. Besides, if I really liked her, how could I let you be my fiancée? Who do you think I am?"
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan smiled awkwardly. What did she take him for? Well... in Chu Siran's words, he was a scumbag, a big pig's hoof!
However, after this incident, Lin Yilan felt that Huo Juncheng was not that kind of person. So had she always misunderstood him?
She was still a little angry, and then she heard Lin Yilan puffing her cheeks and asking angrily: "Then you...then have you slept with Chu Xi...with Chu Xi?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Huo Juncheng was a little stunned by Lin Yilan's question. "Why would you ask such a question?"
"So is there one?" Lin Yilan didn't care about saving face anymore. Since she had asked, she had to know the answer. This was a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
Although she was fully prepared to accept this fact, she was still somewhat reluctant to hear this answer from Huo Juncheng.
"It's okay, it's okay as long as you have the courage to admit your mistakes..."
Looking at Lin Yilan with her eyes closed and a cute look that said "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen", Huo Juncheng smiled unkindly.
"What's going on in your little head every day? Of course not. I've already said we're just partners. Are you misunderstanding that there's something going on between her and me?"
"Then why did Chu Xi talk about those nights you and her? What did she mean? And what she told me last time about you..." Having said that, Lin Yilan paused and didn't continue.
It was precisely because Chu Xi and Huo Juncheng's words were inconsistent that so many misunderstandings arose at the time.
"Did she really say that?" Huo Juncheng was obviously a little unconvinced when he heard Lin Yilan's words. In his eyes, although Chu Xi was a hostess, she was well-behaved and sensible, and not a cruel person.
But now, after listening to Lin Yilan, Chu Xi turned out to be someone who was scheming to get to the top. He had never imagined that the woman who had been by his side for so many years would actually be such a person...
"Then let me formally explain to you that there's really nothing going on between Chu Xi and me. It's just that I always bring her along whenever I need a female companion for social events, so the media reports it randomly, but I really don't have that kind of feeling towards her."
Lin Yilan had actually seen through Chu Xi a long time ago. Now, after hearing what Huo Juncheng said, and considering his performance in the Chu family, Lin Yilan chose to believe Huo Juncheng.
Compared to the ever-changing Chu Xi, she felt that the man next to her was more reliable. She was willing to trust him a little more.
But she suddenly realized something: "Will you be without a female companion from now on?"
Huo Juncheng hadn't expected Lin Yilan to ask this question so suddenly. It took him a long time to answer, "Well...it's okay, you can find someone else." At this point, Huo Juncheng emphasized, "But it's definitely just a partnership."
"How about... I learn some etiquette and makeup, and then accompany you to social events?"
Lin Yilan asked the question tentatively. After all, she was Huo Juncheng's fiancée, and Huo Juncheng would always find other people as his female companions at every banquet, which would inevitably lead to rumors.
If you want to nip these rumors in the bud, the most effective way is to not give other women this opportunity at all.
However, learning makeup and etiquette was simply too difficult for Lin Yilan. Otherwise, she would have learned it long ago, and she wouldn't still be used to going out with a plain face.
Huo Juncheng was somewhat surprised when he heard Lin Yilan say this, "Yilan, are you serious?"
"I'm just saying it, just saying it. I don't know if I can hold on." Seeing Huo Juncheng's expectant eyes, Lin Yilan suddenly became timid and waved her hands quickly.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to go out with me. To avoid any further media coverage and misunderstandings, I won't be looking for other female companions during this time. How about that?"
Seeing Huo Juncheng's smirk, Lin Yilan's face flushed instantly. She had only mentioned it casually, but she hadn't expected Huo Juncheng to take it so seriously.
Forget it, let’s leave it like this for now.
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's fleeing figure and inexplicably felt that Lin Yilan was really cute. He wanted to catch up with her and tease her a little, but at this moment, his phone rang.
Helplessly, he had to answer the phone first: "Hello, Mr. Huo, I don't know what you want to talk to me about. Is there any problem with our contract?"
"That's not the case, but shouldn't we resolve Chu Xi's issue?"
The caller was Peter Zhang. When he heard Huo Juncheng mention Chu Xi, Peter Zhang was furious: "Why mention that woman? If the loss of our contract was caused by her leaving without saying goodbye, I can only say that the person your company sent over did a good job of handing over the job. I won't pursue it."
