Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

In Jiang Ruoli's sight, was Shen Huaian's straight suit trouser legs. His hanging hand had distinct joints and was full of strength.

"you are married?"

His tone was especially clear in the empty corridor.

Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath, her eyes smiling, "If I have done anything that has caused Mr. Shen to misunderstand me, then I apologize to you, but I am indeed married, so we..."

She either wants to use marriage as an excuse, or she subconsciously resists another man breaking into her life. It's okay if they are just ordinary friends, but if they cross that line, she will feel unsafe.

Shen Huaian didn't say anything.

There were too many unclear emotions hidden in his eyes. He lowered his eyes to her face, cutting through every corner like a knife, as if he wanted to see through her.

An arm came up, pinning her against the wall.

Jiang Ruoli heard the clear chirping of birds outside the window, which was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves in her heart.

She realized it later and wanted to dodge, but Shen Huaian grabbed her wrist again. He didn't use any force, just held it loosely, but the warmth of his palm went from her wrist to her heart along with her skin, making her feel nervous and at a loss.

"I've lived in Hefang Town for so long, why haven't I seen your husband?" The man approached, slightly opening his lips. "Is this an excuse?"

"No."

"Then tell me, what's his name?"

Jiang Ruoli opened her mouth and almost called out Huo Xingzhou's name.

He was also afraid that the news would be spread out and reach Huo Xingzhou's ears, thus exposing his whereabouts.

But if I don’t explain it clearly to Shen Huaian, this man will definitely not give up.

If he has a purpose...

Jiang Ruoli didn't dare to think about it anymore, looked away, and said in a muffled voice, "My husband is doing business abroad, his...his last name is Huo..."

"Last name Huo?" Shen Huaian raised his eyebrows slightly, taking in her subtle expressions. Seeing that she was uncomfortable, he took a step away, gently twisted his wrist, and looked at her with a smile, "Then should I call you Mrs. Huo?"

Mrs. Huo...

These three words always sound weird when they come out of Shen Huaian's mouth.

Jiang Ruoli turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye.

half an hour.

"I see, but I still like to call you A-Li." Shen Huaian nodded, his expression thoughtful, and the smile he had just made with him became more intense. "As a friend, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Jiang Ruoli agreed with him and said, "Of course, I am also honored to meet Mr. Shen."

The atmosphere was awkward.

Jiang Ruoli lowered her head to adjust the hem of her skirt, and when she looked up again, her eyes were clear and charming, as if thousands of bright stars were shining.

Shen Huaian seemed to be in a good mood. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs. Then he saw Xiao Hai hurried up, "Mr. Shen, an old lady is looking for you. She wants to buy an ancient painting you have."

"understood."

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoli made an excuse to leave.

When she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of the old lady in the studio. She had her back to her and she couldn't see her face clearly, but for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity.

She didn't think much about it and left quietly.

......

A week later.

The Huo family's old house.

The servants were busy coming in and out.

Today is the day Huo Xingzhou and Fu Yao are getting engaged.

The back garden is decorated with a sea of ​​flowers theme, with 150,000 freshly delivered French champagne roses spreading out, a 100-square-meter rose wall, 20,000 gradient hydrangeas as the base, 30,000 gradient roses in the sky, and 30,000 flowers covering the entire venue. Every detail exudes romance and luxury.

Fu Yao looked at the entries on the hot search, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Breaking news! The Huo and Fu families are marrying!

A sacred manor built with tens of thousands of roses

The ultimate luxurious engagement banquet of the century

The marriage between the Huo and Fu families was a top priority in the capital. In order to make herself the focus of everyone's attention, Fu Yao not only agreed to allow all media to broadcast the engagement ceremony live, but also invited most of the important figures in the capital.

She wanted everyone to know that from today on, she was Huo Xingzhou's wife and the future mistress of the Huo Group.

As for Jiang Ruoli...

She was just a clown. No matter how much Huo Xingzhou liked her, there was no way he could make her stand by his side openly.

Downstairs is the noisy hall.

Seeing that the time is almost up.

Fu Yao asked the servant beside her, "Is Huo Xingzhou here?"

The servant half-knelt, helping her adjust the hem of her dress. Upon hearing this, she respectfully replied, "The old lady said that Mr. Huo is on his way here and should be here soon."

"Ah."

Fu Yao motioned her to go out.

She was alone in the room.

She thought about it.

It seemed that ever since the two families started discussing the marriage, Huo Xingzhou had been busy with his overseas business. Not only did he not call her, he rarely even replied to her messages. She could only comfort herself that a wife should be understanding of a man busy with his career. But today was their engagement day, and Huo Xingzhou was almost late.

If it were any other time, she would definitely be unhappy.

Fortunately, Huo Xingzhou is still within his control, which means there will be no problem.

Just after I comforted myself, I saw Mrs. Fu come in, looking unhappy.

Fu Yao: "What happened?"

"The Huo family is so unreliable." Suddenly, Mrs. Fu said angrily.

"What happened?"

Mrs. Fu approached, "Yaoyao, do you know..."

"Wait." Fu Yao looked at her angry expression and had a bad feeling in her heart, "Don't tell me Huo Xingzhou can't come to the engagement party."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

"Yaoyao." Madam Fu went to hold her hand. "Listen to Mom first. Huo Xingzhou can't make it to the engagement ceremony due to flight problems. However, in order not to delay the auspicious time, Mrs. Huo said that the Third Young Master, Huo Yan'an, will take his place and complete the ceremony with you first."

"What did you say?"

Fu Yao almost lost her balance.

It doesn’t matter if Huo Xingzhou can’t come.

The Huo family actually wanted Huo Yanan to complete the ceremony on his behalf?

Are they crazy?

Mrs. Fu put her bag on the sofa and said, "It's my fault. I made you suffer. Blame me for not reminding the Huo family to let Huo Xingzhou return home a day earlier. But look at the situation now. If you cancel the engagement rashly, you will become a laughing stock in the whole capital."

"Then my engagement to Huo Yanan won't become a joke?"

Fu Yao shook her hand off and sat on the sofa angrily.

"Yaoyao." Madam Fu sat down beside her and comforted her, "This is just a temporary measure. I'm not really asking you to marry Huo Yan'an. Besides, Huo Yan'an looks like Huo Xingzhou. No one else can replace him. Don't worry, after the ceremony, you will still be the second young lady of the Huo family and the future mistress of the Huo Group."

Fu Yao pursed her lips and said nothing, her face turning pale.

Mrs. Fu knew she was in the wrong, but there was nothing she could do.

If today's engagement ceremony is canceled, not only Fu Yao, but the entire Fu family will become the object of ridicule in the upper class. It's not just face that's lost, it's the family's honor...
