âWhy are you with Yun Qing?â Huo Chuan pulled the empty seat beside Huo Zhou and sat down naturally.
Huo Zhou told Huo Chuan the truth about what had happened just now. âI wanted to go to the âSecret roomâ to have some fun. I happened to run into Yun Qing, so I played with them.â
âHuo Chuan, you canât be that thick-skinned, right? Yun Qing didnât seem to let you eat with us, right?â Ye Zhi had always disliked Huo Chuan. As soon as Huo Zhou finished his words, he spoke unhappily.
Huo Chuan ignored Ye Zhi and stared at Yun Qing as if he was waiting for her answer.
Yun Qing frowned, obviously not welcoming Huo Chuanâs arrival. âArenât you here for social engagements?â
âSocial engagements can always be postponed.â
Huo Chuanâs answer left Yun Qing speechless.
In order to have dinner with her, Huo Chuan was even willing to give up on his business?
âAnyway, Iâm having dinner with Wang Fang.â
When she heard Huo Chuanâs words, Yun Qing almost choked on the mouthful of water she had just drunk.
Poor Wang Fang.
âSo, can I have dinner with you guys?â Huo Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still asked politely.
Everyone looked at Yun Qing, waiting for her response.
......
Yun Qing took a deep breath and finally decided to stop giving Huo Chuan any more courtesy. âI donât want to eat with you.â
The atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point.
Huo Chuan found it a little awkward, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes.
âYun Qing already said that she doesnât want to eat with you. Why havenât you left yet?â Ye Zhi rolled his eyes at Huo Chuan.
Huo Chuan did not leave because of Yun Qingâs words. Instead, he glanced at Huo Zhou and asked, âThen why can he eat with you? Are you guys very close?â
âI just made a new friend. President Huo wonât even interfere with my social life, right? What right do you have?â
Yun Qing hated Huo Chuanâs inexplicable jealousy the most. She also hated him for always directing his anger at innocent people.
âBrother, donât be angry. I just happened to meet Yun Qing.â Huo Zhou saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over. âIf you donât like me having dinner with Yun Qing, then Iâll go back to accompany the old man.â
Upon hearing that, Yun Qing immediately objected, âDonât go. Letâs eat here. Why do you have to listen to Huo Chuan?
âPresident Huo, please donât interrupt the gathering between a group of friends anymore.â
At first, Huo Chuan was still a little happy that Huo Zhou was going home, but it had backfired. Huo Zhouâs concession seemed to make Yun Qing hate Huo Chuanâs actions even more.
No matter how unhappy Huo Chuan was, he did not want Yun Qing to hate him even more. He could only stand up, take a deep look at Yun Qing, and turn around to leave.
âIt seems that Huo Chuan still has bad intentions towards you,â Gu Zhi said to Yun Qing as she watched Huo Chuan leave. âI thought that your cold shoulder would be enough to make him give up. In the end, he still pesters you.â
âYeah, I didnât realize that he was so thick-skinned.â Yun Qing rolled her eyes.
Huo Zhou was still unclear about the Huo familyâs affairs. He couldnât help but ask, âYun Qing, why did you and my brother get a divorce? What happened between the two of you?â
Just as he finished his sentence⦠Ye Zhi said, âWhy would you bring up Yun Qingâs sad past? It was your so-called big brother who hurt her first. How dare he come to Yun Qing Now? The Huo family owes Yun Qing and will never be able to repay it!â
At the mention of Yun Qingâs suffering, Ye Zhiâs heart ached for Yun Qing, and he hated the Huo family even more. He also hated Huo Zhou, who had appeared out of nowhere.
âItâs okay. Itâs all in the past, and Iâm almost over it.â Yun Qing shrugged nonchalantly. âHave a good meal.â
Huo Chuan was not around, and the atmosphere grew lively again.
Huo Chuan, who had been chased away by Yun Qing, still canceled the dinner with Wang Fang. With his current mood, he was in no condition to talk about business. He just wanted to vent his anger.
At the nighttime bar, cup after cup of wine flowed straight into Huo Chuanâs stomach.
The strong wine cut through his throat like a sharp knife, and Huo Chuanâs eyes could not help but turn red.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Every time you ask me out for a drink, nothing good will come out of it.â Lin Yu looked at Huo Chuanâs reckless behavior and asked worriedly.
