Not long after Yan Qing left, Huo Beiting followed closely behind.
Huo Beiting took two glasses of red wine from a waiter who was walking back and forth at the cocktail party. He took a few quick steps to catch up with Yan Qing in front of him and handed her the glass of red wine in his hand.
"Do I look like a wolf? Looking at you, I look like I might eat people!"
Huo Beiting smiled and raised his wine glass towards Yan Qing, then took a sip. Where no one could see, he even slightly raised his eyebrows at her, looking indescribably mean.
"It's not that I'm cannibalistic, it's just that being with you is a little awkward."
Yan Qing lowered his head and looked at the red wine in his hand. Through the red wine, he seemed to see the person in the video last night.
When watching the video last night, looking at the background behind Huo Beiting, although the house was not dilapidated, it was indeed a bit simple, and mixed with noisy sounds, the sound of women playing cards, the sound of children crying, and the sound of men yelling. Yan Qing felt that the top of his head would be blown off in the next second.
"Is it because of that guy who looks a lot like me? I heard him mention you before. He said you were very nice to him and didn't look down on him at all."
As Huo Beiting spoke, he lowered his head, with a hint of bitterness at the corners of his lips.
"well enough."
Yan Qing has never been a topic terminator, but she didn't know what happened today. In the past, no matter who she was facing, she always had a lot of words waiting to be said, but today she didn't say a single word.
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became quiet. Compared with the sounds of men and women chatting next to them, the two seemed so out of place.
Yan Qing was a little uncomfortable with it. She twisted her body and drank the glass of red wine in one gulp. After a while, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"That person really looks like you. Sometimes they seem like the same person. When I first saw you, I thought he was the grandson of the Huo family!"
Yan Qing smiled sarcastically after saying this, wondering why he had such a thought at that time.
How could the grandson of the Huo family call himself a duck and even let a woman raise him?
"Because we look a lot like each other, we don't see each other very often. We only talk on the phone occasionally. I don't know what he looks like now. Can you tell me about it?"
Huo Beiting felt that Yan Qing seemed a little drunk, and didn't want her blushing face to be seen by other men, so he walked quietly in front of her while speaking, silently blocking the gazes of other men who wanted to peek.
"Why don't you just look at yourself in the mirror? He'll be just like you."
Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe it was because she missed Huo Beiting too much last night and didn't sleep well the whole night. Yan Qing yawned sleepily, blinked twice, and tried not to lose her composure in front of strangers.
"No wonder you mistook me for him back then, it turns out we're so alike!"
Huo Beiting noticed that Yan Qing was so sleepy that she seemed to be unable to stand. At the moment when Yan Qing was about to fall, Huo Beiting took a step forward in time and supported her body with his shoulder.
Because of his push, Yan Qing felt Huo Beiting's warmth and instantly became more awake.
He quickly straightened up, rubbed his eyes vigorously, said sorry, and went to the bathroom.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom after washing her face, she met Yan's father who had been looking for her.
"Where did you go just now? I looked for you everywhere but you couldn't find me."
Father Yan was breathing slightly heavily because he had been looking for Yan Qing.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Yan Qing shook off the water droplets on her hands and looked at him blankly.
"The company just called me and said there was a problem with the funding chain. I need to go back right away. Please stay here and call me if you have any questions."
After saying this, Father Yan hurried away without waiting for Yan Qing to speak.
Yan Qing had wanted to leave a long time ago, but she had been reluctant to leave so quickly because of her father's face. Now she had a perfect reason, and Yan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to stop her father from leaving.
"Is it a big deal? I'm pretty bored staying here anyway, so I'll go back with you!"
As he said that, Yan Qing went to get his coat.
"Why are you leaving? You've finally come here, so stay here honestly. Mr. Huo said you're sensible today, so don't ruin Mr. Huo's good impression of you so quickly."
Father Yan glared at Yan Qing and slapped her hand off her arm.
"Why would I stay here? I don't even know them. I can barely talk to them. Besides, I'm worried you'll be tired. Maybe if I go with you, I can even give you some advice or something!"
Yan Qing chuckled twice, shook Yan's father's arm in a flattering manner, and kept calling "Dad" in a soft voice, which made Yan's father's heart almost melt.
He coughed forcefully twice, looked around and saw that no one was looking at him, then his eyes suddenly became serious.
"Just stay here if I tell you to. It's not a big deal at the company. I just need to be there to calm things down. Cultivate a good relationship with the grandson of the Huo family. I've observed this guy for a long time. He's much better than Gu Mingche in every aspect. Take advantage of him, my girl. There aren't many men like him these days."
As Father Yan spoke, he moved closer to Yan Qing and whispered in her ear about Huo Beiting's various advantages. Yan Qing even suspected that the grandson of the Huo family was actually the son his father left behind!
Yan Qing pouted and called "Dad" several times in a low voice, but this time Yan's father was determined and even called the old man of the Huo family.
"A friend of mine just called me and said he had a problem he couldn't solve and wanted me to come over and help. We've been friends for years, and it would be embarrassing to refuse, so I'm leaving now. I'm really sorry! I'll drink three cups to make amends."
As Yan's father spoke, he called the waiter over. The waiter picked up three glasses of red wine from the tray and drank them directly.
After drinking, Yan's father wiped his mouth carelessly, grabbed Yan Qing's arm and pulled him in front of him.
"Please take care of my daughter. Don't worry, she won't cause any trouble. If there's anything, just scold her and punish her. I won't say a word!"
Huo Zhen was eager to spend more time with this little girl, after all, she might become the granddaughter-in-law of his Huo family!
So he patted Yan's father on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, even if your daughter really gets into trouble, how could I not help her? Besides, your daughter looks so well-behaved, how could she take the initiative to cause trouble?"
