Chapter 211 Becoming a Female Companion
"Of course I'm going back to my room to sleep, what else would I do?"
"Dinner will be served soon. Now go back to your room and sleep... Do you really want to go back to your room and sleep, or are you hiding from me because you feel guilty?"
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan couldn't help but have a series of questions flash through her mind, "Of course I'm going back to my room to sleep. I didn't get enough rest yesterday, so why can't I go to bed early today? And why do I feel guilty and why am I avoiding you? Huo Juncheng, don't you think you've been a little weird these past two days?"
"You said I was baffled. You haven't explained to me why you and Cass were together at the Mo family dinner yesterday. Have you forgotten? Are you completely forgetful about it, or are you deliberately not mentioning it to me because you feel guilty?"
"I..." Lin Yilan didn't expect that Huo Juncheng was still entangled in the matter between her and Cass these two days. She blinked her eyes and looked at Huo Juncheng's serious expression, knowing that Huo Juncheng didn't seem to be joking with her anymore.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that it was just a misunderstanding between Cass and me? I went to the party with Siran, and Cass also brought a female companion. It's just...ah, even if you hadn't shown up at that time, I wouldn't have stayed with him anymore."
"What kind of misunderstanding caused the Huo family's young mistress, who never liked to dress up, to dress up beautifully at the Mo family's banquet, stand in front of Cass, be his female companion, and even dance with him?"
"The reason I wore skirts yesterday was because Si Ran asked a designer to design clothes for us. We both wore matching outfits. Didn't you see Si Ran wearing a skirt at the party? We both wore matching outfits."
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Huo Juncheng's expression did not improve. He still had a stern face and stared at Lin Yilan. "I don't have time to see what Chu Siran is wearing. I'm just asking why you were with Cass at that time."
Seeing Huo Juncheng's expression, as if he wouldn't let her off unless she explained clearly, Lin Yilan sighed. Although the real reason was rather embarrassing, Huo Juncheng had already asked this much, and if she didn't explain it clearly, Lin Yilan felt that the consequences would be dire...
So Lin Yilan told Huo Juncheng in detail how she and Chu Siran entered the banquet, how people misunderstood their relationship, and what they said about Lin Yilan and Chu Siran.
Huo Juncheng sat on the sofa, listening quietly to what Lin Yilan said without saying a word. Lin Yilan recalled what happened at that time, feeling embarrassed and not paying attention to Huo Juncheng's expression.
After he finished explaining the whole story, he looked out for a long time, observing Huo Juncheng's reaction. However, his expression remained cold, without any change.
Lin Yilan thought Huo Juncheng might not believe what she said, and continued, "Even though you might not believe it, this is how it is. In fact, I also find the train of thought of those people incredible. Even if they don't know who I am, they can't guess that I'm Si Ran's girlfriend... friend, right? That's too weird."
After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she looked at Huo Juncheng again, trying to see a different expression on Huo Juncheng's face. However, Huo Juncheng didn't give Lin Yilan this opportunity at all and still had a stern face. Lin Yilan sat next to Huo Juncheng and felt extremely embarrassed.
I don’t know whether Huo Juncheng believed what I said, but no matter whether Huo Juncheng believed it or not, the truth of the matter is this.
Just when Lin Yilan thought Huo Juncheng couldn't speak anymore, Huo Juncheng uttered a few words slowly, "Dinner should be ready. Let's eat first."
"ah?"
As Huo Juncheng stood up, Lin Yilan raised her head and looked at him, not reacting for a moment. However, Huo Juncheng didn't give Lin Yilan a chance to react. He glanced at Lin Yilan, who was stunned on the sofa, and walked out of the living room.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng's receding back and scratched her head. Did Huo Juncheng believe it or not?
Why is this man so strange now? She is a little confused about what is going on in Huo Juncheng's mind. But compared with the cold and stern Huo Juncheng just now.
Huo Juncheng, who just asked her to have dinner, seemed to be much gentler. So, Lin Yilan’s explanation of this matter was relatively clear, right?
Lin Yilan thought so and rubbed her stomach. She was indeed hungry now.
…
When Lin Yilan was dragged to a banquet by Huo Juncheng, she was completely confused. If she didn't understand yesterday whether Huo Juncheng was still angry or not, she now understood that Huo Juncheng was still angry.
Otherwise, why would he bring her to a party that she didn't even know what it was for!
"Huo Juncheng, why did you bring me here?"
"I need a female companion for the dinner party. You're my fiancée, so of course I have to bring you along. Is that a problem?"
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan thought about it and felt that there was indeed nothing wrong. After what happened with Chu Xi, Huo Juncheng rarely attended these banquets. Even if he came to a banquet, he would not bring other women with him.
Because Lin Yilan didn't like this kind of occasion and wasn't used to it, Huo Juncheng didn't ask her to accompany him. It seemed that Huo Juncheng was really good to Lin Yilan, but Lin Yilan was used to Huo Juncheng's kindness to her, so she felt a little uncomfortable being here.
"Is it because this party is more important? You never asked me to come with you to previous parties, and this time you even made me wear such an awkward evening dress..."
"No, it's just an ordinary party."
Hearing Huo Juncheng's answer, Lin Yilan was stunned. "What! Just an ordinary party? Then why did you ask me to accompany you? If it's just an ordinary party, why come to it? You might as well just stay at home and sleep."
Lin Yilan looked at the people coming and going. Many people were surprised to see Huo Juncheng coming, but they didn't dare to greet him. They just smiled politely at Huo Juncheng. Huo Juncheng was already used to this, but it was difficult for Lin Yilan. She stood beside Huo Juncheng, facing everyone's gaze, smiling awkwardly.
"Since you can attend the Mo family's banquet, and dress so formally to attend, why are you so reluctant to attend the banquet with me now?"
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan beside him, and his handsome eyebrows wrinkled. Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng like this and instantly became timid.
"You know, the milk tea shop is owned by Siran and I. Of course, I have a responsibility to help with the endorsement of the milk tea shop. And compared to being with Siran at the party, I'm obviously a little uncomfortable with you."
"Then you should slowly adapt and get used to it."
Huo Juncheng put Lin Yilan's hand on his arm and walked straight into the depths of the banquet.
