"Someone come and greet her, Huang Xian'er is here!" Xiao Qingqing's loud voice echoed throughout the private room.

Huang Xian'er then removed her mask, revealing her stunning face. She smiled slightly and said, "It's been a long time, everyone."

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became unusually quiet, as if time had stopped flowing at that moment.

Everyone stared at Huang Xian'er in astonishment, unable to believe that the beautiful woman before them was the same person she once was.

No wonder the usually arrogant deputy squad leader was so attentive to her; it turned out she had already noticed Huang Xian'er's change.

A look of confusion appeared on Qin Dandan's face as she kept recalling in her mind, trying to find traces of Huang Xian'er's past.

Before Qin Dandan could even speak, her friend next to her couldn't help but ask, "Huang Xian'er, did you have plastic surgery?"

Upon hearing this question, Huang Xian'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Before she could answer, Xiao Qingqing beside her began to retort: ​​"Li Wenhua, don't talk nonsense! If it's about plastic surgery, you should go get it done yourself!"

"Even if you're jealous of others, you shouldn't act like this, right?" someone interrupted, unable to bear it any longer.

Huang Xian'er felt that such a conversation was meaningless and a waste of time.

She couldn't help but wonder to herself: Why did I come here to listen to them say such pointless things?

Just then, Huo Chunlin walked over and said to Huo Jue, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Huo Chunlin called Huang Xian'er's male companion "elder brother," meaning this man was also a member of the Huo family.

Huo Jue was quite surprised to see Tang Bai's grandson, Huo Chunlin, here.

He asked curiously, "Chunlin, I didn't expect to run into you here. What brings you here?"

Huo Chunlin had always been somewhat afraid of his cousin, feeling that he was like a robot without any emotions, always performing so well no matter when or where.

He had been scolded by his older cousin countless times since he was a child.

Huo Chunlin smiled awkwardly: "I came with my girlfriend. What about you?"

A warning glint flashed in Huo Jue's eyes: "I'm here with a friend!"

Hearing this, Huo Chunlin felt a chill run down his spine. So his cousin hadn't won anyone over yet.

However, he was somewhat moved when he saw Huang Xian'er just now.

If it weren't for his cousin, he might have also found an opportunity to get close to Huang Xian'er.

It seems he's obtained some secret information about his cousin? If he tells his great-uncle about this, will he receive a generous reward?

Afterwards, everyone began to enjoy the food and wine. The seats next to Huang Xian'er were all snatched up by the girls.

Seeing this, Huo Jue said nothing more and simply sat quietly to Huang Xian'er's right.

During the meal, Huo Jue carefully served Huang Xian'er food, peeled shrimp, and poured drinks, leaving Huo Chunlin dumbfounded.

He really wanted to capture this moment on camera and send it to the family group chat, so they could see what this usually stern and unsmiling man, who lived at the top of the Huo family pyramid, was like now!

During the meal, as the dishes were served, the waiters came and went, but their gazes seemed to inadvertently fall on Huang Xian'er.

This left them feeling helpless, and they eventually decided to hang a "No Disturbance" sign at the door.

As the banquet came to an end, Huang Xian'er and Huo Jue slowly rose amidst the reluctant gazes of everyone and gracefully walked towards the parking lot.

Meanwhile, Shang Molin was also having dinner at the hotel with Zhang Han and other friends. After dinner, they headed to the parking lot to drive home.

Shang Molin walked lightly, when suddenly his gaze locked onto the couple in front of him.

The girl's figure seemed strangely familiar to him. The moment he saw her turn around, his heart skipped a beat—it was Huang Xian'er!

Shang Molin's eyes immediately lit up. In recent days, he had tried to contact Huang Xian'er many times, but each time he failed.

The phone calls were hung up, he was blocked on Fetion (a Chinese instant messaging platform), and even his attempts to meet in person were thwarted for various reasons. This feeling left him more frustrated than ever before.

Seeing Huang Xian'er right in front of him, Shang Molin was so excited he almost ran over. "Xian'er, what a coincidence! You're here to eat too?"

Mo Lin's voice was full of surprise, completely ignoring Huo Jue beside him.

Huang Xian'er raised her head, glanced at him indifferently, and calmly replied, "Oh, it is a bit of a coincidence."

Shang Molin felt a sharp pain in his heart when he sensed Huang Xian'er's cold attitude, as if he had been struck by something.

So, that was how she felt before.

“If there’s nothing else, let’s say goodbye!” Huang Xian’er tried to walk around him and head straight for the car.

However, Shang Molin suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, questioning, "Who is he?"

Huo Jue immediately pushed Shang Molin away, her face full of anger: "Say what you have to say, why did you have to resort to violence?"

Huang Xian'er gently rubbed her aching arm and said coldly, "This is none of your business."

She didn't even glance at him again before leaving with Huo Jue.

Shang Molin stood there, his eyes red-rimmed, like an abandoned child.

He knew he had lost all his rights, all as a result of his past irresponsibility.

After getting into the car, Huo Jue carefully fastened Huang Xian'er's seatbelt, his eyes filled with concern and hesitation.

Huang Xian'er noticed his trouble and said, "If you have any questions, just ask!"

Huo Jue hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Who was that man just now?" He sensed an unusual relationship between the two men from that man.

Huang Xian'er replied calmly, "Oh, he's my ex-husband, a businessman."

She said this without any change in expression on her face, as if she were talking about a stranger.

Upon hearing this answer, Huo Jue's expression instantly became complicated.

Ex-husband? He couldn't help but wonder what this man was thinking, how could he let such a treasure return to the market?

Huang Xian'er briefly recounted her past with Shang Molin. The two had not interacted much, and a few words were enough to tell her about their past.

She turned to Huo Jue, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes, and asked softly, "Do you mind?"

Huo Jue's smile was as warm as the spring sun, and he excitedly replied, "How could that be! I couldn't be happier!"

Although they have obtained their marriage certificate, they have not actually begun married life.

Huo Jue felt that Shang Molin's lack of appreciation was his misfortune.

Now, Shang Molin's regret has become Huo Jue's opportunity. He will face many competitors, but Huo Jue is full of confidence and believes that he will never lose.

At this moment, he wanted to prove to Huang Xian'er that he was not just a suitor, but someone she could trust and rely on.
