The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

She was shocked. Based on her many years of experience in the social world, her intuition told her that this person was not ordinary.

She put away her previous arrogance and quietly took a few steps back, not wanting to get involved in any deeper disputes.

The music in the banquet hall was still melodious, and couples were dancing gracefully on the dance floor, but beneath this apparent prosperity, undercurrents were surging and dangers were lurking everywhere.

Because of the abrupt end to the farce just now, everyone's attention was temporarily diverted from Huo Wen Ze and Wen Rou.

Huo Wenze was now holding Wenrou's hand and walking into the center of the dance floor.

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his every move showed elegance and dignity;

Wenrou has a graceful figure and a shy face, just like a flower in bud. The two of them stand side by side, as if they were a perfect match made in heaven.

As if noticing Wenrou's slightly trembling hands and slightly rapid breathing, Huo Wenze lowered his head slightly, looking at her with deep eyes. His warm breath brushed gently past her ears like a spring breeze, and he whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The voice is deep and magnetic, as if it has some magical power.

A faint blush instantly appeared on her gentle cheeks, like clouds in the sky. She nodded slightly and responded softly with a "hmm". Her soft voice was almost inaudible.

She didn't tell Huo Wen Ze that with him around, she wasn't worried at all.

However, at this moment, the two of them were dancing in each other's arms at such a close distance, their bodies almost pressed tightly together. She could clearly feel his strong heartbeat and smell the faint, unique scent on him. All of this made her heart pound, and her heartbeat became more and more rapid, as if it would burst through her chest in the next second.

She couldn't help but secretly despise herself in her heart. It was just an ordinary dance, but why was she so useless, like a young girl who had just fallen in love.

She tried to calm herself down and took a few deep breaths, but as soon as her eyes met Huo Wenze's eyes that seemed to contain the vast stars, her heartbeat, which had finally calmed down a little, began to accelerate uncontrollably again.

After the dance, Huo Wenze still held Wenrou's hand tightly, feeling a little reluctant to let go.

================================================== ===============

As the last note fell, the people in the dance floor gradually dispersed, and Huo Wenze walked through the crowd gently and steadily and left the banquet hall.

The driver had been waiting outside for a long time. Huo Wenze opened the door for Wenrou like a gentleman. After she sat down, he walked around to the other side and got in the car.

The car was silent. Wenrou looked out the window at the night scene that was constantly receding. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Mr. Huo, I think... my engagement with Shu Bai, can we end it?"

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Huo Wenze's profile, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

Mentioning the engagement, Wenrou felt helpless. Originally, it was the elders of the family who had pushed for this to happen, tying her and Huo Shubai together. However, after getting along with each other, they found that they really had no emotional foundation. Now that this farcical social occasion was over, she was more and more eager to break free from this bondage.

When Huo Wenze heard this, an indescribable joy welled up in his heart. He raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at Wenrou, and asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

She lowered her eyes gently and said softly, "This marriage was arranged by the family. Huo Shubai and I are really not destined to be together. Moreover, I feel really bad because I caused you to be separated from him. Now that the farce is over, I don't want to force each other anymore." Her voice was soft but firm, as if she had been struggling in her heart for a long time.

Huo Wenze's lips curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He replied, "This matter is serious. I need to ask the elders in my family for their opinions."

The car was driving smoothly on the road shrouded in darkness. Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, something unexpected happened. Several black cars suddenly appeared in front of them and surrounded their car.

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black armed with weapons quickly got out of the car and approached their car.

Huo Wenze's eyes suddenly became stern, and he whispered to the driver, "Go ahead!"

The driver stepped on the accelerator and tried to break through, but the other side had more people and more firepower.

A bullet whizzed through the car window, glass shards flew everywhere, and Wenrou screamed in terror.

Seeing this, Huo Wenze did not hesitate to hold Wenrou tightly under him and use his body to build a barrier for her.

In the chaos, another bullet flew towards Wenrou. Huo Wenze blocked it sideways, and the bullet went straight into his shoulder blade. He groaned in pain, but still did not let go of Wenrou.

The driver tried his best to find a gap and rushed out. The man in black chased him for a while, but was eventually left behind due to the complicated road.

After making sure it was safe, Huo Wenze slowly let go of Wenrou. His face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his shirt was stained with blood.

Wenrou looked at the injured Huo Wenze, her eyes instantly reddened, and her voice trembled: "Mr. Huo, you are injured! I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Huo Wenze raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He said weakly but with a hint of sarcasm: "I told you, I'm here, don't be afraid..."

Wenrou was extremely anxious and urged the driver to speed up and rush to the hospital. Along the way, Wenrou seemed to have forgotten the relationship between the two of them because she was too nervous. She held Huo Wenze's hand tightly, and her heart was full of anxiety.

Soon, the car arrived at the hospital at lightning speed. Wenrou jumped out first, anxiously calling for a doctor, while Huo Wenze, supported by the driver, slowly walked into the hospital.

The doctor and nurse quickly pushed Huo Wenze into the emergency room. Wenrou paced anxiously outside the door, clasping and unclenching her hands, her eyes full of worry and self-blame.

The scene of Huo Wen Ze being injured kept appearing in her mind, and she regretted why she had implicated him like this.

After an unknown amount of time, the door to the emergency room finally opened and the doctor came out. Wenrou immediately went forward and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is he?"

The doctor took off his mask and said, "The bullet has been removed. There was no damage to the vital organs, but the patient has lost too much blood and needs to be nursed back to health for a while."

After hearing this, Wenrou felt relieved.

Afterwards, Wenrou came to the ward and felt distressed when she saw Huo Wenze lying on the bed with a pale face.

She sat gently on the bed, holding Huo Wenze's hand, and said softly: "Mr. Huo, it's all my fault. I caused you to be so badly injured."

Huo Wenze opened his eyes slightly, smiled weakly, and said, "Don't say that, it's not your fault."
