Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 173 Surface Attitude

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and soon, the thin and flowing skirt on Yu Wan was taken off. The whole process was quick and natural.

Amidst the intermittent breathing, Yu Wan heard Huo Chuyan say that he would support her just as he supported him. At this moment, she finally understood the other party's implication.

That’s what it meant.

A warm feeling suddenly surged into her heart.

Before the party started, the store urgently delivered a new dress.

This was a stunning dress. When Yu Wan saw herself in the mirror, she realized that there were still some ambiguous traces on her body that had not disappeared.

So she turned her head and fixed her eyes on the gentle and elegant man beside her - Huo Chuyan.

After noticing Yu Wan's gaze, he just glanced at her lightly.

Huo Chuyan was wearing a light white suit at the moment. He looked particularly energetic and handsome. His slightly provocative smile made people's heart beat faster. "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Because of her previous behavior, her waist was slightly painful. Feeling the tenderness in Huo Chuyan's eyes, Yu Wan felt a little timid.

Finally, she silently withdrew her gaze from him and responded in a low voice: "Nothing..."

Although her heart was full of contradictions and anxieties, she still chose to respond in such a simple way.

I have to say that Huo Chuyan does have a unique vision in choosing clothing.

The first dress she was given was to better match the precious necklace; and this one was completely to highlight her temperament and charm, so much so that even the accessories that should have been more conspicuous were overshadowed by its splendor.

The woman in front of him seemed to be radiating light and was incredibly beautiful.

Attracted by such beautiful scenery, Huo Chuyan couldn't help but lower his head and give Yu Wan a gentle but loving kiss.

"Someone will bring the clothing selection guide tomorrow, so remember to pick out a few more pieces."

He instructed gently.

However, Yu Wan thought this suggestion was unnecessary: ​​"Actually, I already have a lot of clothes to wear..."

There was a hint of hesitation in his words.

But Huo Chuyan did not give up his plan. Instead, he responded in a more determined but doting tone: "Those clothes are for others to admire, but I want to see every piece of clothing on you. Put them on and show me."

Faced with such an answer, Yu Wan couldn't find any reason to refute it for a moment, so she could only nod obediently, "Okay."

Seeing this, a corner of Huo Chuyan's heart seemed to be gently touched by something.

With this rare change of mood, he reached out and touched her hair as a reward.

"What a good kid."

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, the two arrived at the Wei family manor located in the mid-mountain area one after another.

As soon as they stepped into the hallway, Zhong Xinyuan stood not far away, holding a glass of red wine and staring at the two of them for a long time, a sneer on her lips: "You really went to great lengths to get close to Mr. Huo! You even went to the banquet together. You really want the whole world to know about your relationship."

Then, Zhong Xinyuan continued her sarcastic comments, "What's even more outrageous is that she actually wore a limited edition dress that can't be found on the market...I wonder if she took out all her goodies to show off?"

Just as she was talking, Chu Rong happened to walk closer.

The young man looked at Zhong Xinyuan and then at Yu Wan, who was dressed very smartly. He frowned and said to her, "After all, we are in a public place. You should be more careful with your words."

Despite receiving kind reminders from friends, Zhong Xinyuan still did not change her attitude towards Yu Wan.

She snorted coldly, put down her wine glass, turned around and walked towards the center of the crowd: "Huh, since you're here, let's go say hello."

Helplessly, Chu Rong had to follow him and leave his original position.

Everyone in this circle has their own unique network of contacts.

Especially a person of high status like Huo Chuyan will become the focus of everyone's attention wherever he goes.

So not long after, he received a private invitation from Wei Changming and temporarily bid farewell to his companions and went somewhere else alone.

Zhong Xinyuan walked forward with elegant steps, her eyes revealing obvious disdain. She stared at Yu Wan and said, "It seems that the things happening at Fourth Miss Qiao's home haven't affected her much. She can still wear such designer clothes."

The tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.

When Yu Wan heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately lowered her voice and responded, "I borrowed this skirt from a friend. It's not mine. Miss Zhong, please stop targeting the Qiao family."

There was a pleading tone in his voice, fearing that he would upset the other person and cause more trouble.

Looking at the other person's timid appearance, Xin Yuan sneered in her heart, thinking that such a person had no future.

Then, in a stern and unassailable tone, she warned: "Then you'd better remember that there are some people you can't get no matter how hard you try."

These words were said directly and mercilessly, just to let Yu Wan understand what kind of identity and position she should maintain.

Faced with such blatant provocation and oppression, Yu Wan could only nod helplessly, her face full of fear and helplessness, and she had no courage to argue or refute.

On the other side, in accordance with the principle of separate arrangements for male and female guests in traditional social events, the men gathered in one area to chat and laugh; while on the other side was the exclusive space for the ladies.

As one of the important members of the host family, Zhang Jiao was busy moving among the crowd.

When she spotted a few familiar young women, she greeted them with a smile, "Xin Yuan, Chu Rong, how long have you two been here?"

"We just arrived a short time ago, Auntie."

Zhong Xinyuan replied with a sweet smile, "I saw that you were entertaining other guests, so I didn't go over to disturb you."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao's face lit up with an even brighter smile. She reached out and affectionately shook Xin Yuan's wrist, saying, "We're all family, so why bother? I've been really busy today. Please don't mind if there's anything I can't take care of!"

Xin Yuan quickly waved her hands to show that she would never feel resentful about this, and added, "How could that be? Every time I return to the Wei family, I feel as comfortable as returning to my own home. You just keep busy, and we will take care of ourselves."

Chu Rong listened to their friendly conversation and nodded in agreement to express his attitude, hoping that Zhang Jiao would feel more at ease and focus on other things that needed to be dealt with.
