Chapter 591: Bounty Master
Lin Yilan took a deep breath: "No, I was just scared by that orange stray cat! I thought it was a mouse... It's nothing, let's go back to sleep." What she feared most was mice.
Once I knew it was a cat, I wasn't so scared anymore.
Huo Juncheng rubbed Lin Yilan's head lovingly and carried her back to the room.
I was thinking that I must send Xi Lulu out tomorrow! If I let her stay in my villa, I'm afraid it would cause chaos.
The next day, someone called Huo Juncheng early in the morning because he had received a notice inviting him to attend the Chamber of Commerce. As everyone knew, the Huo Group had been doing very well in Haicheng recently and represented the youth power of Haicheng, so he had to go.
Huo Juncheng agreed: "Okay, I understand." Then he told Lin Yilan about this matter, and Lin Yilan happily agreed to accompany him.
The next day, the two of them finished packing and headed downstairs. Huo Juncheng said to Sister Xiu, "Let's find Xi Lulu a good place to stay today. No matter where it is, the money will be charged to me. Do you understand?"
Sister Xiu quickly agreed, but in fact she didn't want Xi Lulu, the guest, to stay here for a long time.
But she didn't expect that the conversation between Huo Juncheng and Sister Xiu was heard clearly by Xi Lulu... When Sister Xiu went to find Xi Lulu, she pretended to be aggrieved and said, "I really can't walk. My leg was injured when I went to the hospital yesterday. Although it's not in a cast, the bones inside are dislocated. I can't walk around, and..." Xi Lulu lowered her head. What if other places are unsafe? Your villa is safer. I won't cause any trouble..."
Xiu Jie couldn't do anything about Xi Lulu, and complained in her heart: Isn't this person causing enough trouble...
But today Huo Juncheng obviously didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters. Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan wore formal dresses today to attend the banquet on behalf of the youth power of Haicheng. Lin Yilan's figure was very charming. She wore a hip skirt in the evening. The black lace meandered down from the neck, supporting the edge of the skirt. The back had linear straps, which made Lin Yilan's butterfly back more prominent.
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan and said, "Why are you wearing something so nice?"
"I'm here as your woman, to honor you."
"First, you are very beautiful and don't need fancy clothes to set you off. Second, you don't need to help me look good. It is my honor to have you as my wife."
Lin Yilan was very happy in her heart, but she didn't answer him on the surface. Then she got into the car with him and left the house.
It was already evening when they arrived at their destination. When the two men got off the station, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are made for each other.
But when the two of them walked in, the first person they saw was Qin Chaotian.
Huo Juncheng suppressed his smile. He and Qin Chaotian had always been at odds, but he still greeted him.
Qin Chaotian responded softly and immediately turned his gaze to Lin Yilan, "Miss Lin Yilan is even more eye-catching today." Lin Yilan did not speak, but just lowered her head slightly humbly.
Huo Juncheng tightened his grip around Lin Yilan's waist and said, "She's my woman, of course."
Qin Chaotian smiled, taking in all of Huo Juncheng's actions. He didn't point it out, but just pursed his lips and said, "Huo Juncheng still loves the country more than the beauty... But he can't keep Lin Yilan by his side at the masked ball later." Then he said this and left.
When most of the people at the banquet had arrived, the host announced today's activities.
Huo Juncheng sat aside and listened: "There really is a masked ball..."
"I know that many of the young people representing the Sea City today have brought their wives or daughters. However, since this is a masked ball, don't worry about not being able to enjoy it. You are not allowed to look for your wives when the time comes."
Soon, the masked ball began. Several people came down to hand out masks, all kinds of them. When the music started, Huo Juncheng instantly separated from Lin Yilan. Many people came over to him and wanted to dance with him. Huo Juncheng refused them one by one. One girl was obviously dissatisfied and said, "How can you be a gentleman? You just turn down a girl's invitation."
Huo Juncheng sneered: "Is this your definition of a gentleman?"
The man was obviously choked, snorted in dissatisfaction and walked away.
Huo Juncheng was wearing a mask and couldn't tell who was who for a moment, so he started looking for Lin Yilan's clothes.
On Lin Yilan's side, she was dancing with a man. At first, Lin Yilan didn't guess who her dance partner was until the partner spoke.
That uninhibited voice rang in my ears: "It seems that Miss Lin Yilan has also dabbled in dance."
Lin Yilan looked at the mask in front of her: "I didn't expect it to be you."
Qin Chaotian continued to hold her hand and dance with her: "Why, you want to push me away."
Lin Yilan was frank: "I do think about it a little bit."
"Don't worry, I have something to tell you..." Qin Chaotian moved closer to Lin Yilan and said in a low voice, "This is a secret. In exchange, you have to dance with me."
"Not interested."
"What happened before you lost your memory, and Huo Juncheng's old lover, are you not interested?"
Lin Yilan didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing with Qin Chaotian's actions. He already knew what she meant: "Don't worry, a gentleman's word is as good as gold."
When Huo Juncheng saw Lin Yilan, he walked over happily and was about to put his arm around her shoulders, but he found that Lin Yilan was dancing happily with a man. The man was so close to Lin Yilan that he seemed to be getting close to her. Huo Juncheng also found that Lin Yilan not only did not push away the hateful man, but also smiled shyly.
Huo Juncheng knew that it would not work if he went up rashly, so he thought of a good idea.
When another girl came towards her, she took the initiative to walk over and said to her, "Did you see that person?"
The girl was confused, but she looked over anyway: "See, the guy dancing with the pretty girl?"
"He's tonight's bounty hunter! Once the dance is over, the host will give you 500,000. This is tonight's hidden mission."
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up. She believed what he said and went to find Qin Chaotian.
Qin Chaotian was dancing with Lin Yilan when suddenly a girl came over. Qin Chaotian let go of her hand and looked at the girl. Just as he was about to refuse her, he turned his head and saw Huo Juncheng hugging Lin Yilan and leaving.
Huo Juncheng was jealous, and his voice changed: "I just can't afford to play anymore."
"Do you know who was dancing with me just now?"
Lin Yilan lowered her head and smiled again. When she smiled, Huo Juncheng couldn't lose his temper with her at all: "The person who just danced with me was Qin Chaotian. He said he wanted to tell me a secret. I guess I'm willing to dance with him."
Only then did Huo Juncheng realize that the man was Qin Chaotian, so he went back to teach Qin Chaotian a lesson.
Meanwhile, Qin Chaotian, looking at his suddenly replaced female companion, suddenly felt bored and let go of the girl. The girl stumbled and nearly fell, but was supported by the sudden appearance of J Xing.
Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan were not surprised to see J Xing, but Qin Chaotian was very surprised: "J Xing, how come you are in the Chamber of Commerce in Haicheng?"
