C24 The Man She Likes

Article 24. The man she loved.

"I wanted to introduce the man I liked to you."

Ye Zixuan was shocked when she heard this. It was the first time she heard the words "liked from Chen Xi's mouth. She quickly asked, Is there someone you like among the people attending this banquet?"

Chen Xi's face immediately turned red when she was asked by Ye Zixuan. Her small face was as cute and delicate as a red apple.

Ye Zixuan looked at her appearance and could not help but wonder what kind of person Chen Xi liked.

"It's still a little early to say that I like him. At most,i admire him." Chen Xi shyly lowered her head and softly said. But it was obvious that her completely red face had already betrayed her heart. One look and one could tell that she liked this man.

"What's his name? Does he know that you like him?" Ye Zixuan asked curiously.

"He is very outstanding. I am afraid that he will not take a fancy to an ordinary girl like me. I only dare to bury this thought in my heart. I didn't expect my mother to say that he would also attend this banquet today, so I want to bring you along to take a look. " Chen Xi's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. Clearly, that man was too outstanding and she felt inferior.

However, to be honest, Chen Xi's appearance was not ugly. Most of the girls who could enter the movie academy had delicate facial features.

Chen Xi, on the other hand, had a gentle appearance. Although she was not as delicate as Ye Zixuan, she could still be considered a delicate and pretty beauty. Moreover, she was a kind person, so she made people feel very comfortable looking at her.

"I really have something to do tonight. Otherwise,i would also like to accompany you to take a look."

Ye Zixuan felt very sorry. Although Chen Xi looked carefree on the outside, she was actually very timid in her heart. The reason she asked Ye Zixuan to accompany her this time was actually to bolster her courage. But Ye Zixuan had also agreed to Huo Jingyan's agreement in advance, so she could only let Chen Xi down.

"Forget it. It's fine. Actually,i just wanted to tell you." Chen Xi saw Ye Zixuan blaming herself and quickly comforted her.

The two of them just talked like that and chatted very happily.

Time passed and the night gradually became dark.

In the end, Ye Zixuan noticed that it was already seven o'clock in the evening and the lights outside were brightly lit. Her face immediately became flustered.

Chen Xi's mother kept calling to urge Chen Xi. Chen Xi could only say goodbye to Ye Zixuan and hurriedly leave.

Ye Zixuan also hurriedly stopped the taxi and rushed to the compound apartment.

She hoped that Huo Jingyan was not angry. Just thinking about how angry he looked made her feel very frightened.

In the apartment.

When Ye Zixuan arrived at the apartment, she entered uneasily. The lights in the room were not turned on, but she saw Huo Jingyan.

He sat on the sofa with a cold expression. He wore a dark blue custom-made GUCI suit. He looked cold and isolated. His long slanted eyes hid his sharp black eyes. His thin, blade-like lips were pursed. He looked very strict.

He clearly did not make a sound, but there was an invisible questioning coming towards her.

She stood at the door and did not dare to take another step.

"Come here!"

His voice was cold, with a tone that could not be refused.

She felt uneasy and walked towards him step by step. Just as she was about to reach the sofa, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace. His sharp gaze like a nighthawk made her tremble in fear.

"You knew to come back?"

She was panicked and anxious, not knowing how he would punish her. His gloomy voice rang in her ears: "Now we're going to the banquet,i won't punish you for now"

In that instant, her heart fell. Luckily, she avoided a disaster.

She changed into the clothes Huo Jingyan had prepared beforehand. It was a red short skirt that reached her knees. The back of the skirt was hollow design, revealing Ye Zixuan's fair skin. The red skirt matched her fair skin very well. She looked very charming.

Her hair slightly rolled up, making her look noble and elegant, adding a lot of temperament to her.

Ye Zixuan's facial features were delicate and small. She did not need any decoration. She only needed to put on a pink lipstick and she would already be beautiful.

The moment Ye Zixuan came out of the bathroom, Huo Jingyan, who was outside, was stunned for a moment. But soon, his eyes darkened and he said coldly, "You are not allowed to dress like this in the future."

Ye Zixuan was stunned. She had only changed into the clothes he had prepared. Could it be that she did not look good in this dress?

When she was in the bathroom, she even deliberately looked into the mirror. She felt quite good about herself. She did not expect him to have such high standards. This made Ye Zixuan feel slightly disappointed in her heart.

She lowered her head and obediently followed him to the car and to the banquet venue.

Along the way, she did not make a sound. Huo Jingyan saw her silent appearance through the rearview mirror a few times. His eyes became darker and darker each time, and his lips were tightly shut.

Finally, they arrived at the banquet place. After getting off the car, Ye Zixuan obediently acted as a female companion. She followed by Huo Jingyan's side and maintained her smile.

The moment she entered the banquet, she could feel the gazes coming from all directions. There were envy, jealousy, hatred, and all kinds of complicated gazes. She felt like she was like a monkey exposed in front of everyone. She could only maintain a pitiful smile and let people look at her.

Ye Zixuan clearly understood how attractive the man beside her was. Many rich and famous ladies admired him and hoped to get his favor.

But Ye Zixuan did not want this man at all.

"Hello, Mr Huo. I thought you would not come today."

A middle-aged man with a warm smile walked to Huo Jingyan. Before the banquet started, he was joking and laughing from time to time.

Although Huo Jingyan still had a cold expression on his face, he was still good at socializing. He occasionally clinked glasses with others and talked about the matters of the company. He looked elegant and focused.

Ye Zixuan had never liked banquets like this, but Huo Jingyan's voice was very pleasant. His voice was languid and hoarse, very pleasant and charming. He was clearly talking about a very boring topic, but she felt that it was very pleasing to the ear.

Perhaps this was the only thing she could tolerate in the entire banquet.

Her gaze began to sweep across the entire banquet in boredom until she saw a familiar figure. Her pupils immediately contracted, and she also panicked for a moment.

Huo Jingyan, who was standing beside her, was the first to feel it. He looked at her coldly.

Ye Zixuan lowered her head in panic. What should she do? She did not expect Chen Xi to attend the same banquet as Huo Jingyan.

She was really stupid. Why did she not guess it earlier?

Ye Zixuan was flustered. If Chen Xi saw her with Huo Jingyan, she would definitely guess that she had become Huo Jingyan's mistress because of her father.

She did not want Chen Xi, her best friend, to know about such a terrible thing.

"I want to go to the bathroom." She accidentally tugged on the corner of Huo Jingyan's shirt and said in a low voice.

Huo Jingyan already felt that something was wrong with her, so he agreed.
