Lin Wanbai was in pain, but she dared not say anything.

When he was a little bit away from her, he touched his ear and asked in a small voice, "Then ? I'm going back to the hotel? "

"Forget it!" Huo Changyuan put the cigarette back into his mouth.

Lin Wanbai observed him for a few seconds, and seeing that he really had no intention of leaving, she finally unscrewed the lipstick in her hand.

Fortunately, the makeup artist gave it to her before she left. His kiss just now had already made his mouth red, so it just so happened that he could redo his makeup.

There was no small mirror, so she replaced it with a cell phone screen.

It was a bit dark, and Lin Wanbai painted very slowly.

Huo Changyuan was skillfully flicking away the ash from his cigarette, but his gaze never left her, including the fact that she was applying lipstick.

She was wearing a long, sleeveless dress with two white arms exposed on the outside. Her skin was even whiter against the ink of the black satin.

It wasn't that stunning, but it was definitely something that he couldn't shift his gaze away from.

Especially her bright and glistening lips, it seemed that she was constantly luring him to pick them ?

Huo Changyuan's throat was a bit dry. He took another drag of his cigarette and realized that it had reached the end of the sponge without him realizing.

Luckily, Jiang Fang turned his head and said respectfully: "Director Huo, we have arrived!"

Huo Changyuan took the opportunity to cut off the cigarette butt and nodded lightly.

The car stopped on Lin Wanbai's side. She hid the lipstick in her hand again and Jiang Fang came over to open the back door for her.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, she felt someone tugging at her arm.

The car door was slammed shut.

Lin Wanbai looked back in confusion, but Huo Changyuan actually kissed her again.

"Ugh ?"

Her whole head was turned away.

Five minutes later, the car door was pushed open again.

When Huo Changyuan and Lin Wanbai came down, the former looked calm as usual while the latter lowered her head with a flushed face.

Stepping out of the elevator, Lin Wanbai put her hand to her lips.

In the end, he had applied it too hastily, to the point that it had even smeared on the outside.

Lin Wanbai lowered her head, looked at the sturdy arm she was holding, and could not help but tug gently. "Mr. Howe, can you tell me when you kiss me again ?"

"Hmm?" Huo Changyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Let me wipe the lipstick first ?"

"Hmm?" Huo Changyuan still raised his eyebrows.

Lin Wanbai licked her lips with a serious expression. "I was afraid you'd be poisoned!"

Huo Changyuan: "..."

Jiang Fang, who was at the back, couldn't resist the "puchi" and quickly looked away after getting a glance from the Boss.

The grand venue was arranged to be a banquet, the clothes on the side and the hair on the head.

Lin Wanbai was led inside by Huo Changyuan. Along the way, many people came to greet her. Suddenly, she felt like a Cinderella in a fairy tale. Her skirt was dragged along the carpet, and everything seemed so unreal.

The atmosphere was lively. Some people had already walked off the dance floor when the music sounded, and the rest were just chatting loudly.

Huo Changyuan waved the red wine glass in his hand and slightly raised his chin towards the center. "Can you dance?"

"I won't ?" Lin Wanbai was embarrassed.

"Stupid!" Huo Changyuan scolded her and said, "I'll teach you later."

Lin Wanbai shook her head. "I'd better not. I don't really like it ?"

At this moment, Jiang Fang walked up to them, pointed at the foreigners not far away, and said that it was the CEO of the Overseas Financing Project.

Huo Changyuan nodded and then said to her, "I have something to discuss. I'll come look for you when it's over."

"Got it!" Lin Wanbai replied.

Huo Changyuan walked two steps before turning around. As expected, he saw her warm and docile appearance.

He could not help but come back and let out a sigh of satisfaction, "You don't have to wait here all the time. You can just walk around. There is self-service food on the other side, I can find you."

"Oh ?"

After she nodded, Huo Changyuan turned around and left with Jiang Fang.

With his help, Lin Wanbai started to walk towards a less populated place. She was a bit hungry, but when she faced the dazzling array of food, she lost her appetite and put down her plate after eating only a small piece of pastry.

She was actually very uncomfortable when Huo Changyuan wasn't by her side.

From time to time, guests would come to the entrance of the banquet. Lin Wanbai only gave them a casual glance.

A single glance caused her to be stunned.

Even though he wasn't able to see her appearance clearly, he couldn't be mistaken.

"..." It was him!

Lin Wanbai could barely suppress the panic in her heart. She could only feel sweat pouring out from her forehead and hands, yet she felt cold all over.

A waiter walked by with a glass of champagne. She turned her back on the glass and drank it in one gulp, just barely calming herself down.

When she turned around, the man had already seen her coming.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of her as if he was afraid that she would run away. "Xiao Wen, it's really you!"

The man stood tall and straight, just as he remembered. His handsome and rigid facial features looked very solemn.

However, when he smiled, there was an indescribable charm, like the first wisp of spring wind after a severe winter. Before you could even feel its warmth, your heart had already warmed, and your whole body emitted a ripening feeling that only grew up with your age and experience.

Lin Wanbai had a rock stuck in her throat. She could only stare at him blankly.

Someone came up to her untactfully, "Miss, can I ask you to dance?"

"I'm sorry!"

Lin Wanbai heard his standard American English and was then brought to the dance floor by him.

One was on his shoulder, the other on his waist. His was on her shoulder and the back of her waist at the same time, and he was already moving with the music.

Lin Wanbai was slightly dazed, as if she had returned to the past.

In the old house in the alley, playing music on tape, he did the same with himself, she had no rhythm, she stepped on his army boots with every two steps, but he was still patient, spinning her, spinning her again ?

As the memory and the reality overlapped, Lin Wanbai's entire spirit was on his face.

"I thought you were wrong. It was you that night in Times Square."

"?" Lin Wanbai's throat tightened.

He also thought back to that day in Times Square, when a familiar figure had flashed by in the distance.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he smiled and patted her head, just like before. "You heartless little girl, do you plan to not speak to me like this?"

Lin Wanbai opened her mouth and shouted, "Brother Yan Feng ?"

It was just two words, but she had almost used up all of her strength.

Lin Wanbai thought that he would ask her why she didn't show up at the airport a year ago, or why she had always been avoiding him. But when he opened his mouth, he smiled deeply and said, "Zhou Zhou really misses you."

What about you?

Lin Wanbai could only blurt out in her heart.

If it was in the past, she would still be alright. But now, how could she still have any face ?

At the end of the song, the male and female dancers on the side let go of their dancing partners. They also let go of each other. Lin Wanbai saw Huo Changyuan standing there with his long body.
