C25 It Was Actually Him
It's him.
Ye Zixuan quickly moved away from Huo Jingyan's side and quietly walked towards Chen Xi who was at the door. When she got closer, Chen Xi also noticed her and said in surprise, "Zixuan, you are also here!"
"Yes,i did not expect that we would be attending a banquet." Ye Zixuan endured her guilt and said with a smile.
Chen Xi did not think too much and even happily pulled Ye Zixuan's hand and said, "Who asked us to be good friends. This is called having a heart that is connected to one another and meeting fate from thousands of miles away."
Being teased by Chen Xi like this, the originally panicked and guilty Ye Zixuan could not help but laugh as she pulled her towards the dining area. That place was a little further away from Huo Jingyan and it was not easy for him to discover it.
Chen Xi followed Ye Zixuan to the banquet area. When she thought of the tall and handsome him at the banquet, her mood immediately became agitated. She pulled Ye Zixuan's cool hand and softly said, "Do you know? I saw him."
Ye Zixuan was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment.
When she saw Chen Xi's sparkling eyes, she suddenly understood and remembered what she said at the coffee shop. She asked, "Is it the one you said at the coffee shop?"
Chen Xi smiled but did not say anything. She pulled Ye Zixuan and pointed at the handsome and tall Huo Jingyan in the crowd and said, "Yes, that is Huo Jingyan, the rich young master that many women admire, the dream lover."
Ye Zixuan's head was in a mess.
"You, the person you are talking about, could it be Huo Jingyan..." Ye Zixuan deliberately made a joke but in her heart, she was praying that it was not him.
But looking at Chen Xi shyly lowering her head, Ye Zixuan's body stiffened. It seemed that she guessed correctly!
What to do? The person her good friend liked was actually Huo Jingyan!
And she was still lingering with Huo Jingyan last night. If Chen Xi found out, would the relationship between them still have sisters?
Ye Zixuan did not know. She only felt that she was a sinner. She clearly did not want to have any connection with Huo Jingyan, but because of her father's case, she betrayed her and even snatched the man that her good friend liked.
Just as she was feeling uneasy, Chen Xi pulled her and said in surprise, "Zixuan, look. He seemed to have looked over just now."
Ye Zixuan guiltily looked in the direction Chen Xi was talking to. He was chatting with someone and the hair on his forehead covered his sharp eyes. Just as she was feeling at ease.
He suddenly looked in her direction. It was clearly so far away and covered the bonsai, but Ye Zixuan had an illusion that he was staring at her. Her body stiffened and was filled with fear.
She clearly looked at the corner of his mouth and a wicked smile appeared, reminding her to come over. But her heart almost froze at that moment.
"Zixuan,i'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Hehe, he's probably looking at you." Ye Zixuan was afraid that Chen Xi would notice her strange behavior and was even more afraid that she would discover that Huo Jingyan was looking at her and pretend to be joking.
Chen Xi believed it to be true. Because with that one glance, she really felt that Huo Jingyan was looking in their direction.
This glance made Chen Xi's heart move. Just as she was about to say something, Chen's mother walked over. When she saw Ye Zixuan, she was stunned for a moment but still politely smiled and said, "It has been a long time since I saw Zixuan. I did not expect Zixuan to be here too."
Ye Zixuan was slightly embarrassed and lowered her head as she called out, "Hello Aunt Chen."
Chen's mother also only cast a sidelong glance at her and said to Chen Xi, "Your father has something to tell you. Come with me."
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only look at Ye Zixuan apologetically. She followed her mother in another direction.
Ye Zixuan let out a sigh of relief. Coincidentally, Huo Jingyan was also reminding her to go over. It was really good that Chen Xi was not there.
She secretly walked in front of Huo Jingyan and felt guilty. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mr. Huo,i am not feeling well. I want to go back first. Is that okay?"
Huo Jingyan sneered and looked down at Ye Zixuan's panicked black eyes. He said coldly, "No."
He did not even think about it and directly refused.
This made Ye Zixuan very aggrieved, but she had no choice. After all, Huo Jingyan was the boss, so she could only bear with it. She was only afraid that Chen Xi would discover that she deliberately distanced herself from Huo Jingyan, making people feel that they were not together.
When Ye Zixuan took another step back again, Huo Jingyan held her waist tightly and looked at her with a heavy gaze. He coldly said, "If you dare to use your willfulness to challenge my patience again, don't blame me for embarrassing you on the spot."
It was not hard for Ye Zixuan to understand what he meant by embarrassing her.
Ye Zixuan's face instantly turned pale. She was very afraid that her relationship with Huo Jingyan would ruin the friendship that she had with Chen Xi over the years.
When everyone had betrayed her, only Chen Xi was quietly by her side. She was the second person who treated her so well after her father.
Ye Zixuan did not want to hurt her.
She definitely had to think of a way to leave Huo Jingyan. At least at this time, she could not let Chen Xi find out.
The panicky Ye Zixuan suddenly saw the wine glass in her hand. The spiritual machine flashed and deliberately pretended to be careless. She twisted her leg and the champagne in her hand instantly sprinkled on Huo Jingyan's expensive suit jacket.
Ye Zixuan looked at him in panic and apologized desperately, "Sorry, sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I just felt a little uncomfortable and that's why I didn't stand up for a moment. I'm really sorry..."
Huo Jingyan stared at Ye Zixuan with a malicious gaze and was very displeased.
Sensing that this kind of action made Huo Jingyan very embarrassed, Ye Zixuan carefully reminded, "Why don't we go to the hotel room and take care of it?"
Other than this method, what else could they do?
Huo Jingyan could only turn around and apologize to the friends present. He glared at Ye Zixuan and headed towards the hotel room on the second floor.
"You handle this matter yourself. Don't think about avoiding it."
"Oh."
When they left, Huo Jingyan's expression was very gloomy, which made Ye Zixuan very nervous. But when she thought that Chen Xi would not discover the relationship between her and Huo Jingyan, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to follow, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw that it was Chen Xi.
"Zixuan,i was just going to the banquet to look for you. What happened to you?"
"I,i feel a little uncomfortable and want to go to the hotel room to rest." Ye Zixuan was afraid that Chen Xi would follow her upstairs and quickly said, "The banquet is still going on and Mr. Huo should still be there. You should go quickly."
When Chen Xi heard this, a trace of struggle flashed across her eyes. She looked at Ye Zixuan and confirmed, "Can you really go alone?"
"I am fine. Really. I will be fine after resting for a while." Facing Chen Xi's concern, Ye Zixuan felt even more guilty. If possible, she hoped that all of this did not start.
Chen Xi thought of Huo Jingyan in her heart. Her parents even said that they wanted to introduce her to him and ask her to go quickly.
"Then I will go."
