Chapter 206 A Magical Misunderstanding
Lin Yilan was obviously much more excited than Chu Siran, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, scaring the people around who were talking so much that they shut up and observed the situation on Lin Yilan and Chu Siran's side.
Chu Siran glanced around calmly and felt that her surroundings had suddenly become quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling atmosphere elsewhere at the banquet. She found it amusing and couldn't help laughing.
"Oh my God, Chu Siran, you're actually in the mood to laugh right now. Why don't you explain? What if they really misunderstand something?"
Lin Yilan also felt the scrutiny from all around and the gradually quieting atmosphere. This time, when she spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice. She approached Chu Siran and spoke to him in a low voice.
"What's there to explain to them? Besides, fake things can't be real. As Huo Juncheng's fiancée, even if you're a little prettier now," Chu Siran said, examining Lin Yilan, "there will definitely be someone among them who will recognize you."
Lin Yilan wanted to say something else, but when she looked up, her eyes met Cass's not far away. Lin Yilan blinked in shock, thinking of the last time Cass came to the Huo family. Lin Yilan had not yet recovered from that incident.
Cass, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all about what happened last time. He walked straight over and said, "Ms. Lin looks so beautiful today. I wonder if you could dance with me later."
When Lin Yilan heard Cass say this, she laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I can't dance. And Mr. Cass must have brought his female companion here. Wouldn't it be rude to your female companion to come and talk to me?"
Lin Yilan said this and glanced at the woman next to Cass. She was a pretty girl, with a pitiful look and no offensive power. Even when Cass invited Lin Yilan to dance just now, the woman's expression did not change at all.
Cass glanced at his female companion. The woman noticed his gaze, turned around and smiled sweetly at him, then wisely let go of Cass's arm, and then...
And then left?
Faced with this sudden situation, Lin Yilan opened her mouth in surprise.
"Miss Lin, why are you so surprised? This is my first time here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. How could I possibly have a suitable female companion? The girl just now was just an 18th-tier model. Miss Lin came with Miss Chu today, so it seems she doesn't have a male companion either. I wonder if I'll be so honored?"
Hearing what Cass said, Chu Siran couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice. In order to pursue Lin Yilan, Cass was really desperate enough to even drive away his female companion. Fortunately, Huo Juncheng did not come to the party, otherwise Huo Juncheng would see Cass inviting Lin Yilan here.
I guess even if Huo Juncheng didn't like her all the way, he couldn't stand Cass's behavior of poaching her in public.
"Whatever. Anyway, we agreed beforehand that I can't dance, so there's no way I can dance with you."
"What?" Chu Siran was stunned after hearing Lin Yilan's words. She thought Lin Yilan would definitely reject Cass directly, but she didn't expect Lin Yilan to actually agree?
Lin Yilan looked at Chu Siran's shocked expression, quietly approached Chu Siran, and whispered, "What if others really misunderstand that there's something wrong with your sexual orientation? I'm fine, but as the second daughter of the Chu family, you're bound to be gossiped about again."
Chu Siran didn't expect that Lin Yilan was thinking about this, but she had just made it clear to Lin Yilan that these people just saw Lin Yilan wearing a skirt and didn't recognize her for a while.
But among all the people present, there must be someone with good eyesight, it is impossible for everyone to not recognize Lin Yilan. Even if people misunderstand now, it won't last forever.
On the contrary, if Lin Yilan became Cass's female companion now, it would be more likely to cause gossip. After all, Lin Yilan is the Huo family's fiancée...
Just as Chu Siran was about to say this to Lin Yilan, Lin Yilan took Cass's arm and went somewhere else.
Chu Siran stood there, watching the two people walk away. Just as she was about to chase them, someone tapped her shoulder. Chu Siran turned her head irritably, not even seeing who was coming. She yelled, "What are you doing? Get out of here!"
After seeing who it was, Chu Siran regretted it, because it was Huo Juncheng...
"Huo...Juncheng, why are you here? Didn't Yi...Lan say that your invitation was taken away by her?" Looking at Huo Juncheng standing in front of him with a frown on his face, Chu Siran's speech became stammering.
She never expected that the person who patted her shoulder was Huo Juncheng. She originally thought that he was just a bystander who was watching the fun, but who would have thought that it was Huo Juncheng, the big Buddha.
"Can't I come in without an invitation? Miss Chu, do you think I, Huo Juncheng, need an invitation to attend a party like this?"
Huo Juncheng's cold voice reached Chu Siran's ears, and Chu Siran twitched his lips. It was all because he was so shocked by seeing Huo Juncheng just now that he asked such a meaningless question. Who was Huo Juncheng? The Huo family was the leading industry in this city.
It is an honor for the organizer to have Huo Juncheng attend the banquet. Even if he doesn't have an invitation, so what? What's more, Huo Juncheng is a VIP invited by the Mo family. Even if he doesn't have an invitation, don't the security guards know Huo Juncheng?
"Why are you daydreaming? I'm asking you where Lin Yilan is. Shouldn't she be with you?"
When Chu Siran heard Huo Juncheng mention Lin Yilan, she remembered that she was about to chase Lin Yilan. If Huo Juncheng hadn't called her, she would have stopped Lin Yilan.
Only now...
Chu Siran glanced in the direction Lin Yilan had just left, but he had long lost track of her. This Cass was clearly trying to create some time for him and Lin Yilan to be alone. In such a short time, Chu Siran didn't even notice Lin Yilan coming...
Huo Juncheng looked at Chu Siran looking around, and a hint of anger appeared on his expressionless face. "What's going on? Where is Lin Yilan?"
"It's all your fault. Why did you stop me when I was about to stop Yilan? Now I don't even know where Yilan is."
Facing Huo Juncheng's questioning, Lin Yilan spread her hands and said it would be a lie to say that she was not in a hurry, but Lin Yilan was so good at martial arts, and it was in such a public place, and Cass would not do anything, not to mention that Huo Juncheng was still here.
Chu Siran thought so and acted a little casually. However, Huo Juncheng was obviously angry when he heard Chu Siran's words.
"What do you mean? I know Lin Yilan must have come with you, otherwise she wouldn't come to this kind of party. Since you brought her here, why don't you know where she is now? If Lin Yilan gets into any danger, can you be held responsible?"
"Yilan is such a good martial artist, and this is at the Mo family's dinner party, what kind of danger could happen? Why are you so nervous?" Chu Siran looked at Huo Juncheng's anxious look and actually smiled unkindly.
