The banquet hall on the second floor of the Ou family's old house.

Ou Jinghuan's appearance caused the guests, who were originally scattered around the banquet hall, to move towards the center circle surrounding Ou Hongxin.

This caused the number of people surrounding Ou Hongxin to gradually increase, making those standing in the innermost circle feel a bit crowded.

However, the innermost circle consists mainly of people with high power and fame.

So they only need a word or a glance to stop the people behind them from pushing forward.

Before long, the effects caused by Ou Jinghuan subsided, and the circle surrounding the Ou family grew larger, but not enough to cause a disturbance.

The physical disturbances were brought under control, but the verbal disturbances erupted when everyone heard that Ou Jinghuan had a girlfriend.

Some people haven't heard the rumors that Ou Jinghuan brought his girlfriend, who is likely a female celebrity, to Hongxin Group.

Their understanding was still based on the rumor that Ou Jinghuan might like men, and they were all surprised:

"When did CEO Ou get a girlfriend?! Isn't it rumored that he's not interested in women?"

"Yes! This rumor was very true before, and President Ou never denied it. Later, some bosses even started inserting men into their underwear."

"I heard that trying to seduce Mr. Ou with women or men won't work, and I also heard that Mr. Ou might be... having an affair with his chief assistant!"

"Achoo!" Suddenly, Zhong Yuda, an assistant who had just returned home after having lunch with a blind date arranged by his family, sneezed violently.

Ou Jinghuan's personal assistant, Zhong Yuda, was unaware that many people believed he was having an affair with his CEO.

After finishing his blind date and returning home, he rubbed his nose, which suddenly felt itchy for some reason.

He glanced at the thermometer and hygrometer display on the wall, frowned, and felt something was off. He muttered to himself:

"The temperature and humidity are great today! Not too cold or too hot, so why do I keep sneezing lately?"

It seems I still need to find some time to go to the hospital for a check-up, especially if I sneeze in front of Mr. Ou...

Just thinking about it is terrifying. I don't want to be looked at by his demonic eye. He already dislikes me enough..."

Assistant Zhong Yuda decided to take another bath tonight to prevent catching a cold, fearing that Ou Jinghuan would find him repulsive at work.

……

Meanwhile, the chatter in the banquet hall continued. Those who knew about the recent rumors surrounding Ou Jinghuan's alleged girlfriend said:

"Hey! There were rumors a while ago that he had a girlfriend. They said that President Ou was dating a very beautiful celebrity girlfriend, maybe that's her."

However, one of the well-known big bosses in the entertainment industry, after carefully examining Li Chuyue, had some doubts and said:

"It shouldn't be a celebrity... I own an entertainment company, so if the other party were a star, I would definitely remember them."

Another CEO, known for his womanizing ways, admired Li Chuyue's figure and beauty, and jokingly remarked:

"Haha, is there even a need to guess? Mr. Ou must have changed girlfriends again in a short period of time!"

Mr. Ou is, after all, a young man full of energy, so his needs are definitely high. Of course, he won't just date one person! Hahaha.

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, the people around laughed with amusement, all agreeing with what the person said.

At this moment, Ou Hongxin, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly stopped laughing and took a deep look at Li Chuyue, who was not afraid at all.

Then, he looked up at Ou Jinghuan, who was nervously protecting Li Chuyue, and teased her with a smile:

"Haha, great! You finally know how to care about people!"

"You're worried I'll scare your girlfriend, but she doesn't seem afraid of this old man at all!"

Regardless of what Ou Hongxin said, Ou Jinghuan looked serious and emphasized as he reminded him again:

"Don't scare her."

These four words were spoken coldly from Ou Jinghuan's lips, yet they conveyed a hint of warmth.

Upon hearing this, Ou Hongxin knew that Ou Jinghuan was expressing his displeasure at Ou Jinghuan's serious expression as he stared at his girlfriend earlier.

He knew that Ou Jinghuan's repeated words were not only expressing displeasure, but also serving as a preemptive warning to everyone present.

Even Ou Jinghuan's own grandfather couldn't give his girlfriend a hard time, let alone anyone else!

At this moment, because of the obvious danger warning released by Ou Jinghuan, Ou Dechu, who originally wanted to come out and give Li Chuyue a hard time, dared not say a word.

In that instant, Ou Hongxin realized that the girl in front of him held a much higher place in Ou Jinghuan's heart than he had previously thought.

He knew in advance that Ou Jinghuan would bring his girlfriend to meet him, and he had already welcomed her, so he originally had no dissatisfaction with the girl in front of him.

He learned that Ou Jinghuan would be late for his birthday banquet tonight, and that this would be the first time he had ever been late.

Ou Hongxin quickly guessed that Ou Jinghuan's first late arrival at his birthday banquet was likely because of his new girlfriend.

Therefore, while he was curious about Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend, he was also worried that she might be the woman who would ruin Ou Jinghuan's career.

So, after meeting Li Chuyue, he wanted to see if Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend was someone who would cause him a lot of trouble.

I wanted to observe her through eye contact to see if her eyes, like those of other young women immersed in this materialistic world, were filled with a strong sense of utilitarianism.

But Ou Hongxin had only been looking at it for a short while when Ou Jinghuan discovered his little scheme and warned him twice.

He knew he was in the wrong first, and unlike Ou Dechu, he didn't use his seniority to pressure Ou Jinghuan, and ignored Ou Jinghuan's warnings.

He first chuckled and teased the angry Ou Jinghuan, then, when Ou Jinghuan reminded him again, he said with a smile:

"Hahaha, what kind of mean old man do I have who likes to make things difficult for young girls? Why would I scare a young girl?"

Stop criticizing me. I'm nowhere near as scary as you are now.

Alright! Why don't you hurry up and bring this pretty and well-behaved little girl forward so I can meet her?

Seeing that the old man understood his meaning, Ou Jinghuan stopped testing Li Chuyue and instead expressed his affection for her in front of everyone.

His expressionless face softened slightly, and he immediately took Li Chuyue's hand and walked a few steps closer to Ou Hongxin's position.

Just as Ou Hongxin observed, Li Chuyue was indeed well-behaved and even somewhat shy.

Ou Jinghuan led her by the hand, and she obediently followed.

When Ou Jinghuan stopped, she stopped too, and then stood quietly to the side, not interrupting or appearing stiff or wooden.

At this moment, Ou Jinghuan looked at Li Chuyue, who was more composed than ever before, and he knew that Li Chuyue was nervous.

Especially when Li Chuyue looked up at him, she looked bewildered and adorable.

He knew that Li Chuyue was pretending to be well-behaved in front of his family, and he found it very cute, looking at Li Chuyue with eyes full of love.
