Chapter 112 Trouble Woman

Sitting beside a man he liked with all his heart, Chen Xi was both nervous but also happy.

She could not suppress the anticipation in her heart, and sneaked a few glances towards Huo Jing Yan. He was still as handsome and cold as before.

For tonight's charity banquet, Chen Xi had to put in a lot of effort. For example, the position she was sitting on right now was something that could only be obtained through relationships.

With much difficulty, Chen Xi sat next to her lover, wanting to chat with him for a while.

But looking at Huo Jing Yan's gloomy face and the coldness in his eyes, Chen Xi did not dare say anything. Even though she felt that this man's aura was too strong, but to be able to sit beside him like this made Chen Xi feel really happy.

Huo Jing Yan didn't notice anyone sitting beside him, and his mind was still thinking about how Ye Zi Xuan had cried so crazily. That kind of pitiful look from her made his heart ache slightly.

He really couldn't understand what Ye Zi Xuan wanted.

He had tried his best to give her everything he thought was best. But when she cried like a child, Huo Jing Yan suddenly realized one thing, that he actually did not understand the thoughts at the bottom of Ye Zi Xuan's heart.

The host on stage was in the middle of his opening speech, and he could hear every word.

When he reached out his slender hand to grab the goblet on the dining table, he almost knocked down the goblet beside him. At this critical moment, a pair of gentle hands supported the shaky goblet and lightly touched it.

The touch caused Huo Jing Yan to come back to his senses, and when he looked at the hand that was white as jade, he saw a familiar lady sitting beside him.

"Hutong, be careful." Her gentle voice was as meek as a stream, and her low eyebrows were as smooth as the surface of a river. Along with Chen Xi's eyes that were filled with emotion, she seemed indescribably shy.

But Huo Jing Yan only glanced at them once, and was no longer interested in withdrawing his gaze.

Chen Xi handed the cup over to Huo Jing Yan, she looked at him with admiration but did not dare show it, as she could not suppress the love in her heart.

With a moment of frustration, Huo Jing Yan took the goblet and took a sip from it with his thin lips. Impatience flashed in his eyes. This woman was truly annoying. He could be seen from anywhere!

However, Chen Xi was secretly happy when he received the wine cup from the man.

Thinking that this was a hint that Huo Jing Yan was willing to communicate with him, he gathered his courage and started to talk about the topic with Huo Jing Yan. "I heard that one of the organizers of this charity dinner is Hoppes, Hutong is truly a kind-hearted person."

Huo Jing Yan sneered, and did not reply.

The charity dinner was just a show that the business and celebrities would do, no one knew how much they would actually donate, but he would participate in this kind of boring dinner, all because he wanted to bring toddler out for a breather.

Seeing the curve that Huo Jing Yan made, Chen Xi thought that he approved of what he had said. Overjoyed, Chen Xi talked about how many people had supported the children in the poor mountain regions during this charity dinner, and how much their Chen Family had contributed to the charity event.

Chen Xi had no other intentions, she only wanted to let Huo Jing Yan know that she was also a very caring person, just like him.

However, Huo Jing Yan's reaction was average. Other than a single word, "En", he had nothing else to say.

"I heard that there will be great changes in the new year. The business ability of the Hutong is really strong …" Chen Xi said a bunch of good things about Huo Jing Yan.

Huo Jing Yan would always have one word: "Mn."

Although the response was cold, it still made Chen Xi very satisfied. It at least showed that Huo Jing Yan was willing to listen to what she had to say and he would even give her some response.

This was a good start, it was better than those girls that could not even talk to Huo Jing Yan!

Chen Xi encouraged herself, and continued to find a topic to talk with Huo Jing Yan. From the news of the Hopeford Group to the topic of Huo Jing Yan's relationships with others, they chatted non-stop.

In the end, Huo Jing Yan was really fed up with this woman's chattering.

All of a sudden, he stood up, scaring Chen Xi stiff, "Wo, Hutong …"

"I'm going to the bathroom." If the woman in front of him was not Ye Zi Xuan's friend, Huo Jing Yan would not even bother to tell her that.

Chen Xi was flattered, and nodded her head, "Alright."

Looking at Huo Jing Yan's handsome and elegant back, Chen Xi could not help but become infatuated, thinking that for him to actually change from one word to seven, he would say it out loud no matter where he went, it was truly a type of progress.

If things continued like this, catching up to the male god wasn't a dream ah!

There was still more to this story of Chen Xi going to the washroom, but she had never returned.

Chen Xi waited stupidly for half an hour, for an hour, until the end of the night. When everyone had left, he still did not appear.

"Miss, the dinner is already over. Are you still not going back?"

Chen Xi was startled, she looked at the staff member blankly: "Hutong hasn't left yet isn't he?" He clearly said that she was going to the washroom …

"Oh, Hutong, I heard that he left a long time ago when he had something to do."

"Gone?"

"Yes."

When Chen Xi heard this, her face was filled with a look of loss, and an uneasiness that lingered in her heart. She had originally left the charity banquet a long time ago.

In Huo Family's villa.

After Xu Ze Ya sent Ye Zi Xuan back, he left her alone in the garden to relax.

The main reason was because he had digested the things that Xu Ze Ya had told him on the way here. He had felt regret over the loss of his precious life, and also felt that Huo Jing Yan must have suffered from a lot of guilt and obsession in these past few years.

maid Su Lu was worried about Ye Zi Xuan's body, and kept accompanying her.

Seeing that she was lost in thought while sitting in the pavilion, he said, "Miss Ye, you will be born in a few months, why don't you walk around a little?

Hearing maid Su Lu's words, Ye Zi Xuan did not object, she got up and walked around the garden.

But as he walked, he could not help but recall the words that Xu Ze Ya said. At that time, Huo Jing Yan must have been under a lot of psychological pressure because An Ran encountered such a tragic event.

If he had had a past, such a tragedy might not have happened...

At the same time, Ye Zi Xuan also thought of herself.

But her best friend, Chen Xi, had fallen for Huo Jing Yan. She simply could not imagine how she would face Chen Xi in the future.

In this charity dinner, luckily she was begging Huo Jing Yan, and finally managed to avoid an incident where she directly clashed with Chen Xi.

But next time?

Would she still be so lucky?

When Ye Zi Xuan thought about this, she felt a lot of pressure. She really wanted to leave Huo Jing Yan, to live a peaceful life in a place that no one knew.
