The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Luo Huai felt nervous, her slightly clenched fingers touching the plain ring she had worn all afternoon, which still carried the warmth of her skin.

Stroking the ring calmed Luo Huai down, and she turned her head to ask, "Do you know me?"

Xing Yanzhao turned his head to meet Luo Huai's eyes, and then, under the dim stage lights, he saw the slight unease in her eyes. Only then did he realize that he had been staring at Guo Hui on the stage, which was really unfair to his wife beside him.

"Yes, I know her," Xing Yanzhao said. "She was a high school classmate, Han Zhang's goddess. Back in school, she always invited me to watch Guo Hui dance. Was this the first dance we ever did when we first met?"

He doesn't remember.

"Ask me?" Kuangye said. "How would I know? You're in high school while I'm only in middle school." He narrowed his dangerous eyes and asked, "Isn't Guo Hui a teacher at the affiliated high school? What's she doing in this dance program?"

Kuangye had always liked the friends and classmates that his brother had personally introduced him to, but he didn't dislike Guo Hui, though he didn't hate her.

If asked why, it's probably because Guo Hui showed a fleeting look of disdain when she first saw him, yet she still smiled and acted as if she really liked him.

He was disliked by many people when he was a child, so he didn't care about other people's dislike. It was only the contrast between Guo Hui's behavior before and after that made him dislike her.

Guo Hui left suddenly back then, and she came back suddenly today. Kuangye doesn't know if he's just being sensitive, but he feels like something is wrong.

When faced with his younger brother's question, Xing Yanzhao only replied that he didn't know and didn't care. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Huai seemed to indicate that he was also a little confused.

So he turned to the wilderness and said, "Go ask Lao Han."

Just as Kuangye took out his phone, a message from Lao Shen popped up in the group chat, saying that Han Zhang was sitting right next to them.

He showed his phone to his brother and sister-in-law.

Luo Huai gave a soft "hmm," and then a new program began on stage. Xing Yanzhao whispered in her ear, "I'll tell you when we get home."

Luo Huai smiled and said, "Okay."

However, instead of waiting to return, they were greeted by Guo Hui and Han Zhang, who had changed their clothes.

"Brother Zhao, little brother, and Lao Shen, it's been a long time." Guo Hui smiled radiantly. Her attire and demeanor were completely different from the gentle and aloof swan on stage. Instead, she was more bright and charming, especially in her silver halter dress, which showed off her curvaceous figure.

Her hand was already outstretched and extended in front of Xing Yanzhao; everyone knew it was for a handshake.

Xing Yanzhao naturally took Luo Huai's hand and introduced her, "Guo Hui. This is my wife, Luo Huai."

Luo Huai smiled slightly.

Guo Hui returned the smile, her hand still frozen in mid-air.

Normally, if Xing Yanzhao is unable to show up, it is Kuang Ye who will. At this moment, Kuang Ye did not extend his hand, but subconsciously glanced at Luo Yunshang next to him.

Seeing the situation, Old Shen knew he had no choice but to rely on himself.

His hand was only halfway out.

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Cough!"

Old Shen abruptly withdrew his hand and replied, "It has been a long time, hasn't it?"

The situation was truly awkward, and Luo Huai finally reached out to help the other person out of the predicament.

The two quickly separated, and Guo Hui smiled and said with emotion, "I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be married and to have found his biological parents. His younger brother has also achieved great success. Congratulations!"

“Yes, now we all have to call Kuang Ye ‘General Manager Kuang.’” Old Shen’s words were a reminder to Guo Hui that it would be better not to continue calling him “brother.”

Guo Hui isn't stupid, but she can pretend to be.

She didn't change her address, but jokingly said, "I understand. From now on, you should call your brother 'General Manager Kuang' when there are outsiders around."

Luo Yunshang suddenly chuckled softly.

Guo Hui looked over and met a pair of mocking, smiling eyes, and immediately felt an awkward sense of being seen through.

"Sister Yunshang?" Luo Huai called out.

Luo Yunshang took her sister's hand and said, "It's nothing. I just saw a joke and couldn't help myself. I'm so sorry, Miss Guo."

"Ms. Guo, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Guo Hui immediately said, "Brother Zhao, it's been so many years! Let's grab a late-night snack together."

She asked with expectant eyes, "Is it okay?"

Han Zhang could tell that she really wanted to talk to Brother Zhao, so he chimed in, "It really has been a long time. Why not get together tonight? It's on me."

The smile in Lao Shen's eyes gradually faded.

Kuangye said, "I won't go. It's late. I'll take the old lady home to rest. She's usually dreaming at this time. And Miss Luo, it's chilly at night, and she's not in good health."

Luo Huai thought what he said made sense, and told Luo Yunshang to go back first.

Before leaving, Luo Yunshang glanced at Zhu Shuangshuang, who raised an eyebrow, indicating that she understood. After this conversation, she also realized that there was more to the relationship between her elder brother and Guo Hui than met the eye.

"Since Brother Han is treating us to a late-night snack, let's go." Zhu Shuangshuang linked arms with Luo Huai and smiled. "You don't mind if I come along, do you?"

“Of course I don’t mind.” Guo Hui looked at Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai again.

Luo Huai, also filled with curiosity, decided to investigate the situation himself and nodded in agreement to have a late-night snack.

The parking lot was a bit far from the venue, so everyone had to walk there. Along the way, Guo Hui kept her eyes on Xing Yanzhao, while Han Zhang's eyes were glued to Guo Hui.

Old Shen pulled Xing Yanzhao aside and whispered, "What does it mean that Guo Hui keeps glancing at you? Does she want to get back together with you?"

“We were never together,” Xing Yanzhao said seriously. “I have a wife now.”

"You were never together?" Old Shen looked shocked. "No, everyone thought you were together back then. Guo Hui said she was with you, and you didn't deny it."

Xing Yanzhao frowned: "The situation was a bit complicated at the time."

"Don't complicate things. If you keep making things complicated, it will be the relationship between you and your sister-in-law that becomes complicated."

"What do you mean?"

"Shuangshuang asked you what your relationship with Guo Hui was, and I told her the truth: you two used to be together, and it was the kind of relationship between a school bully and a school beauty..." Old Shen almost swallowed hard under Xing Yanzhao's gaze.

He hurriedly explained, "You know, I wouldn't dare lie to that girl. Besides, you didn't tell us what was going on between you and Guo Hui before."

Just as Lao Shen and Xing Yanzhao were saying these things, Zhu Shuangshuang also pulled Luo Huai aside to tell him the truth.

"I found out that Guo Hui is your husband's first love! It was a teenage campus romance. She was a beautiful only girl from a working-class family, a school beauty, and he was a poor boy who had to wash dishes after school. Their relationship caused quite a stir, but I didn't find out why they broke up."

"Have you noticed that Guo Hui keeps looking at your husband?"

"Hmm." Luo Huai felt a tightness in his chest.

She discovered it long ago.

Guo Hui appeared poised and confident, and returned her gaze with a smile.

"She wouldn't be here to break you two up, would she?"

Luo Huai shook his head.

"no?"

"I don't know." That's why she decided to go out for a late-night snack to find out.

Finally arriving at the parking area, Guo Hui said, "I didn't drive here, Luo Huai, is it convenient for me to ride in your car?"

Saying it's inconvenient would make her seem petty.

Luo Huai: "But..."

Xing Yanzhao: "There's no room to sit."

Guo Hui's smile froze slightly: "Aren't there still seats available? Brother Zhao is worried that Luo Huai will get jealous. Luo Huai seems like an understanding person, she won't overthink it."

Zhu Shuangshuang's eyes widened: "You...!"

Luo Huai said, "I will."
