Chapter 861: What is your relationship?
After soothing Qin Rou, Jian Dan naturally relaxed and looked around…
It was then that she locked eyes with Huo Siyu.
The next second, she flashed a huge, friendly smile at him~
It wasn’t surprising that the woman was trying to ingratiate herself with Huo Siyu, but what was surprising to everyone present was that Huo Siyu was also smiling at a woman.
Everybody knew that although Huo Siyu had a good temper, he seldom smiled at others, especially not at women—no one had ever seen it.
What was going on today?
Who was that woman? What did she do? Why would their men smile at her?
A series of questions instantly sparked a quiet yet heated discussion among the audience.
Jian Dan didn’t notice, even as several people close by, including Qin Rou, turned their gazes towards her.
Of course, there was also Liao Xingran’s murderous glare.
Why would every man she fancied have a different attitude towards this Jian Dan?
After their eye contact ended, Jian Dan finally shifted her gaze back.
Having done so, she was startled by the stares of the people behind her, “What are you doing? It’s kinda creepy!”
“And you have the nerve to say we’re creepy? Didn’t you see the creepy thing you just did?”
“What did I just do? I didn’t do anything at all, right?” Jian Dan thought for a moment before speaking up.
Because in Jian Dan’s simple view, exchanging glances with a friend couldn’t possibly be considered a big deal!
“Didn’t do anything? How can you say you didn’t do anything? Just look at how everyone is staring at you!”
Jian Dan scanned the room and realized that all the women present were looking at her in unison, and with rather unfriendly expressions at that.
“Damn, what’s going on?”
“I’m asking you because I genuinely don’t know!” Jian Dan truly couldn’t recall doing anything that could have caused such outrage.
“Since when have you known Huo Siyu?”
“How did you know I knew him!” Jian Dan blurted out without thinking.
“So you really know him?”
Jian Dan gave an awkward smile.
Why did that slip out? Seriously, my brain is offline!
“But how did you all figure it out?” Jian Dan lowered her voice.
“Please, your eye contact with Huo Siyu just now nearly blinded everyone present, okay!” Qin Rou looked at Jian Dan with irritation.
Only then did Jian Dan realize that while she saw Huo Siyu as a woman, in the eyes of others, he was a man. The eye contact that had just occurred, if it happened between a man and a woman, could indeed be somewhat scandalous.
“Come here~” Qin Rou pulled Jian Dan to a corner.
Even though they were in a corner, after that eye contact, Jian Dan couldn’t escape everyone’s attention, even if she hid under a table.
So Qin Rou could only whisper at the lowest volume, “Jian, what’s the situation? If my uncle finds out about what just happened, do you know the consequences?” Qin Rou quietly warned Jian Dan.
Upon hearing Qin Rou’s words, Jian Dan’s face was instantly clouded with worry.
If even Qin Rou misunderstood their relationship, what about everyone else?
Moreover, many journalists were present today and given Huo Siyu’s popularity, this was bound to make the headlines tomorrow.
“Rou, what are you talking about? My loyalty to Uncle is as clear as day, as visible as the sun and the moon, I’m just friends with Huo Siyu, friends!” She couldn’t reveal Huo Siyu’s identity, “Alright, I’m tired, I’m going back first.” Jian Dan said and immediately left the venue.
This matter needed some preemptive damage control with Uncle; otherwise, as soon as the news broke, Uncle might just fly back in a rush.
The moment Jian Dan returned to her dormitory, she immediately made a video call to Chu Liyuan…
