When Su Qian saw Huo Nan’s sincere smile, her heart was already bubbling with jealousy. However, she could only say in a soft voice, “Yeah, Big Sister left a long time ago. Where is she now?”
Su Qian knew that there was a man who was in contact with Su Yan. Su Qian guessed that the incident with Yun Shang the day before was most likely related to that man. She only hoped that Su Yan went out this time to meet that man. Otherwise, wouldn’t her sweet talk be a gift to Su Yan?
Huo Nan was elated. He didn’t even care about the number of people attending the banquet as much as he had imagined.
This time, the Huo Family’s banquet had been announced two months in advance. Almost everyone in the upper-class society of City A had been invited. Unfortunately, only a few people from the upper-class society were present today. None of the business magnates were present.
Su Qian suddenly grabbed Huo Nan’s arm and pointed through the window at the figure below. “Brother Huo Nan, isn’t that Big Sister?”
Huo Nan looked over. It was indeed Su Yan.
The gown that Yun Shang gave her yesterday was very dignified and grand. Coupled with Su Yan’s aura, she was very eye-catching even when she walked outside.
Just as Huo Nan was about to open the window to greet Su Yan, he saw Su Yan running to the grapevine and hugging a man in a wheelchair.
“Ah, Brother Huo Nan, Sister definitely didn’t do it on purpose. Please don’t take it to heart.” Su Qian was so happy that she thought she was going to die. What was wrong with Su Yan? Huo Nan was such a good person, but she didn’t cherish him. How could she seduce a cripple?
At this moment, Su Yan still did not know that someone upstairs was watching her every move. She looked at Shi Qing with slight worry. This man was indeed very afraid of the cold. It was the beginning of autumn now, and the difference in temperature between day and night was huge. He actually only wore a thin piece of clothing and left the house. His beautiful hands were freezing cold.
“Can’t you take care of yourself?”
Shi Qing enjoyed the worry in the girl’s complaints, but he said calmly, “It’s not cold.”
“What’s not cold? Your hands are cold.” Su Yan took the jacket that Xu Xin had brought over and draped it over Shi Qing’s shoulders. She warned, “Take care of yourself in the future. Otherwise, I’ll ignore you.”
Shi Qing only smiled.
After making sure that Shi Qing’s hand was gradually warming up, Su Yan said, “Why did you set the banquet here? The Huo Family’s banquet is right next to this place.”
“Isn’t it good? Let the Huo Family see that the people they want to invite have rejected their invitations and come to my banquet.”
Su Yan stared at Shi Qing’s face seriously. A moment later, she suddenly laughed. “Why are you so bad? You’re so bad and that makes me feel good .”
The two of them were chatting happily when they heard a displeased voice coming from behind them. “Xiao Yan, what are you doing?”
Su Yan turned around and saw Huo Nan, accompanied by Su Qian, walking over with a cold expression.
From afar, Huo Nan could hear Su Yan’s laughter. This was a side that Su Yan had never shown him. What right did this man have?
When Su Yan turned around, Huo Nan’s breathing stopped. Even though he knew that Su Yan was extremely good-looking, he had to admit that with such a set of clothes and Su Yan’s confidence, it made him even more tempted. Initially, he was only 80% into Su Yan, but now, he was 100%.
“My God, Sister, how could you? Brother Huo Nan has been so good to you. How could you—”
Su Qian pointed at Shi Qing. When she saw Shi Qing’s face, she could not bring herself to say the words “this kind of man”.
“What about me?” Su Yan sneered. As she looked at Su Qian’s increasingly ugly expression, she turned around and greeted Huo Nan. “Mr. Huo, what a coincidence.”
Huo Nan was speechless. Su Yan’s attitude had always been like this. She was polite and distant, as if she had never taken him seriously.
“My family is holding a banquet today. Xiao Yan, you should know,” Huo Nan said.
Su Yan nodded. “Then I wish your family a successful banquet?”
Her tone could not be described as innocent, and her blessings were not sincere. Shi Qing was almost amused by Su Yan. He gestured for Xu Xin to push him. Shi Qing walked over and held Su Yan’s hand as he said politely, “Ah Yan��s coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days. Let’s have a rehearsal today. Does Mr. Huo know Ah Yan? Do you want to join us?”
Huo Nan’s nose was almost crooked from anger, but at this moment, a very important business partner of the Huo family appeared in Huo Nan’s line of sight.
Huo Nan instantly forgot about the discord between him and Shi Qing. He said to the partner with a slightly flattering tone, “Uncle Liu? You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”
Uncle Liu didn’t even look at Huo Nan as he took the wheelchair from Xu Xin’s hands. “Why was CEO Shi out for so long? My old friends all said that CEO Shi ran away in order to avoid drinking.”
“Do you know this Mr. Huo? Do you want to invite him to Ah Yan’s coming-of-age ceremony?”
They were all experienced businessmen. Uncle Liu naturally knew that Shi Qing’s invitation was not sincere, so he took the initiative to reject it on Huo Nan’s behalf. “Mr. Huo has a girl accompanying him.. I’m afraid he can’t attend Miss Su’s coming of age ceremony.”
