Chapter 928 - Ended Up Falling In Her Trap
Maybe her performance was terrible today. Furthermore, the hickeys on her neck could not be concealed no matter how hard they tried. Everyone could guess that it must be due to the clingy Mr. Huo who had come to Estan to visit her at work.
Just as Huang Guoqiang finished his words, the Mr. Huo who loved to visit came to the set.
Someone with sharp eyes quickly saw him and cried out, “Oh my! Speak of the devil! Isn’t that Mr. Huo?”
Everyone turned to look and saw Huo Yunshen appearing near the set with a bunch of bodyguards.
Huo Yunshen came to the set and greeted everyone, then asked the director, “Director Huang, is the shoot over?”
Huang Guoqiang joked, “Since Mr. Huo is here, how can we humble ones not end the shoot? Go ahead and take your wife away! Don’t feed us dog food anymore!”
Everyone was amused by Huang Guoqiang’s words and laughed. Huo Yunshen took Jing Xi’s hand and at the same time let his bodyguards distribute dinner vouchers to everyone.
Seeing that Huo Yunshen had generously reserved a whole restaurant in a six-star hotel and ordered a sumptuous buffet for them, Huang Guoqiang turned toward him and thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Huo! Do come visit us more often!”
Everyone was stunned by Huang Guoqiang. Just now, he had told Jing Xi not to let her husband visit her at the set, and yet now he was telling him to come more often.
In the end, everyone came to the conclusion: Gifts blind the eyes indeed!
…
At the most luxurious western restaurant in the capital city of Estan, Linshi.
Huo Yunshen took his wife Xu Xiyan here as promised.
After getting out of the car, they saw soldiers lining the restaurant outside and guessed that Helian Qingyu must’ve already arrived.
After the guards checked their identification, the two walked into the romantic western restaurant, reported their names to the receptionist and had a waiter bring them in.
They were arranged to sit at a table in the center of the western restaurant. As expected, Helian Qingyu and Li Ruochu were already there waiting for them.
When Li Ruochu saw that they had come, she stood and greeted them, “Hi, Jing Xi, Mr. Huo.”
Xu Xiyan walked over with a smile and greeted, “Sister Ruochu, General Helian.”
Helian Qingyu had already pulled out her seat for her and asked her to sit, “Sister-in-law, please sit.”
Xu Xiyan couldn’t help but glance at him again. She wondered since when he and Huo Yunshen had become bros?
This particular move provoked Huo Yunshen and he glared coldly at Helian Qingyu. Who told him he could be a busybody? How dare he steal his move?
The two women chatted amiably after meeting while the men engaged in some small talk. Then they ordered their food.
It was an enjoyable meal. The women gossiped about the entertainment circle while the men talked about military-related topics.
Xu Xiyan noticed that Li Ruochu had a warm-colored silk scarf around her neck today, which brought out her skin tone well. However, for some reason, Xu Xiyan had a nagging feeling that this scarf was very suspicious.
A person who never had the habit of wearing scarves, had suddenly worn one. What does this explain?
Was she trying to hide something?
Xu Xiyan was now very experienced. After being together with Huo Yunshen, she had become dirty minded herself.
So, she made a bold guess: Are there hickeys underneath that scarf?
Could it be said that… there was a breakthrough in Helian Qingyu and Li Ruochu’s relationship?
Everyone had wine last night, and Huo Yunshen and Helian Qingyu both had drank theirs. So, Xu Xiyan speculated that Helian Qingyu had most probably been affected by the drug too, and then some unspeakable things happened after he went home.
For this reason, Xu Xiyan deliberately teased Li Ruochu, “Was General Helian gentle with you last night?”
“Mmm-hmm… huh? What?”
Li Ruochu had been gossiping. When she was suddenly asked this question by Xu Xiyan, her brain was stuck for a moment by the sudden change of topic and ended up falling into Xu Xiyan’s trap.
After realizing what was really being asked, Li Ruochu’s little face blushed and she subconsciously stole a glance at Helian Qingyu who was talking and laughing beside her.
