The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Upon seeing Yan Liluo, Lin Jiaran also moved through the crowd, heading towards Yan Liluo's location.

"Manager Yan looks beautiful today!" Lin Jiaran greeted Yan Liluo with sincere admiration.

"Thank you, you look absolutely gorgeous today!" Yan Liluo replied with a smile.

"You two know each other?" Huo Xiangtian, who had followed Yan Lilu in, asked Yan Lilu about her relationship with Lin Jiaran.

"Well, we are friends."

"So that's it."

Then Huo Xiangtian turned to Lin Jiaran and extended a polite hand in greeting, introducing himself, "Hello, Miss Shen, Huo Xiangtian is my name. I didn't expect that Miss Shen and Yan Luo are also friends."

"Hello!" Lin Jiaran extended her hand and shook hands briefly with Huo Xiangtian.

Lin Jiaran was a little confused as to why Huo Xiangtian called her Miss Shen so casually, as if he had known her for a long time.

Before their hands could even touch, Lu Jingshen walked over with a faint smile on his face. "When did President Huo arrive?" As he asked, Lu Jingshen's left hand was already on Lin Jiaran's left shoulder.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on hers. Lin Jiaran turned to the side, and Huo Xiangtian also looked at Lu Jingshen who was walking over, thus interrupting the handshake.

"Just arrived," Huo Xiangtian replied.

She was quite busy just now, but she came over quietly and quickly, probably because she was afraid that Yan Liluo would communicate with her privately.

Lu Jingshen must be hiding something from her. Thinking this, Lin Jiaran felt very unhappy, so she made an excuse to leave and went away.

Lin Jiaran had been gone for less than half a minute when Lu Jingshen chatted casually with Huo Xiangtian for a couple of minutes before leaving.

Just as Shen Boren finished speaking with a few people, Lin Jiaran walked up to him and asked, "Who is Huo Xiangtian?"

"General Manager Huo, you two have met and spoken before, don't you remember?"

"When did I ever meet him or speak to him? I have no recollection of it."

"When Lu Jingshen abandoned you and went to America."

That seems to be true; no wonder Huo Xiangtian addressed her as Miss Shen from the start…

"Jiajia, why are you suddenly asking about him?"

"It's nothing. I heard he's a friend of a friend, just asking you." As Lin Jiaran spoke, she glanced in Huo Xiangtian's direction and noticed that Lu Jingshen was heading in her direction.

"I'm emotionally unstable right now and don't want to see anyone. Could you stop me? I'll cook for you another day."

"Cook for me?" Shen Boren's eyes widened in shock; he could hardly believe his ears.

"Don't give Lu Jingshen a chance to contact me within two hours."

"If he wants to see you, can I stop him?"

"I do not care."

After speaking, Lin Jiaran left.

Although he didn't hear the words clearly and didn't dare to think whether they were true, Shen Boren took the initiative to walk over when Lu Jingshen walked over and Lin Jiaran left.

Lu Jingshen, who was originally going to search for someone, was stopped by Shen Boren, who had a legitimate reason for socializing.

"I'll go up and have a look."

“There are people watching over you, nothing will happen. I’ll introduce you to a few people.”

Lu Jingshen still wanted to follow the direction Lin Jiaran left in, so Shen Boren quickly started introducing Lu Jingshen to others.

Yan Liluo ran into a few female friends she knew and chatted with them, while Huo Xiangtian tactfully left.

Seeing that the man beside Yan Liluo had left, and when Yan Liluo was almost alone, Lu Jingchuan took two glasses of wine and went over.

"I almost didn't recognize you. It's Manager Yan." Lu Jingchuan handed a glass of wine to Yan Liluo.

Yan Liluo took it and held it without touching a drop of wine.

Just then, a waiter carrying a plate passed by.

"Wait a mininute."

Yan Liluo placed the wine glass she had received on the plate designated for recycling wine glasses.

Lu Jingchuan observed everything Yan Liluo said and did. At this moment, his gaze lingered on Yan Liluo's face. "Manager Yan really does resemble an old friend of mine."

His dazed gaze seemed to be recalling something, or perhaps he was wondering why, even though he knew this person was a fraud, he inexplicably wanted to get closer to her, as if there was some inexplicable sense of familiarity between them.

They weren't that familiar with each other, even though they had lived under the same roof together.

"Manager Lu's flirting skills were quite average."

"In a normal script, shouldn't Manager Yan pretend to be a submissive and affectionate person, and tentatively ask me some questions to build a relationship?"

Yan Liluo felt she had nothing to say and didn't want to say another word to Lu Jingchuan, so she wanted to leave.

Lu Jingchuan stretched out his long arm and grabbed Yan Liluo's hand.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave before you've finished speaking, Manager Yan?"

"I have nothing to say to you."

Two minutes earlier, Huo Xiangtian had noticed the two talking to each other. Not wanting their friendship to be compromised, he could only watch from a distance.

Lu Jingchuan also noticed that the man surnamed Huo was staring in their direction, so he deliberately took a step closer to make their contact appear more intimate.

Lu Jingchuan's lips curved into a smile, his eyes looking at Yan Liluo with a half-smile, and he said in a low voice, "You dressed up like this on purpose just to get close to me, and now you're playing hard to get."

How I dress is my freedom.

Yan Liluo let go of the large hand that was gripping her arm, but Lu Jingchuan held on tightly.

"It doesn't seem like freedom to me, it seems more like it's deliberate. Stop pretending, I know all the schemes you and Lu Jingshen have."

Yan Lilu appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking and thinking about how to escape.

Lu Jingshen reminded her that as long as she didn't know her true identity, he wouldn't make things difficult for Yan Shi.

Suddenly she realized that as long as Lu Jingchuan didn't know the truth, she could do whatever she wanted with him. Faced with Lu Jingchuan's shameless entanglement, Yan Liluo suddenly lost her fear and broke free even more forcefully.

Since the intention was to make him misunderstand, Yan Liluo should naturally get closer to him. Obviously, Lu Jingchuan began to frown, somewhat puzzled as to what kind of feigned indifference Yan Liluo was playing.

Just as Yan Liluo was breaking free, Huo Xiangtian still walked over.

"Yan Luo, are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me?" Yan Liluo said calmly, as if nothing had just happened.

Yan Liluo walked into the crowd alone first, and Huo Xiangtian glanced at Lu Jingchuan before following her.

"So it's Manager Yan. I really didn't recognize you," a CEO said to Yan Liluo.

After Yan Liluo left, Lu Jingchuan did not follow her again and left shortly after staying at the banquet.

Shen Boren and Lu Jingshen were talking to a number of people, while Yan Liluo was also talking with several CEOs she had worked with before.

After Yan Lilu finished talking to her friend, a waiter who had been keeping an eye on her walked up to her and whispered something to her.

After looking around, Yan Liluo followed the waiter toward the rest area.
