Chapter 73

Lin Wan Bai was in pain, but he dared not say a word.

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 Chang Yuan placed the cigarette back into his mouth.

Lin Wan Bai observed for a few seconds, seeing that he did not have any intentions to leave, he unscrewed the lipstick in his 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 little dark, and adding on the fact that he rarely put on makeup, Lin Wan Bai painted very slowly.

Huo Chang Yuan skillfully flicked the cigarette ash outside the window, 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 Chang Yuan's throat was a little dry. He once again took a deep breath and realized that he had unknowingly burnt to the end of the sponge.

Fortunately, Jiang Fang turned his head and said respectfully: "Hutong, we have arrived!"

Huo Chang Yuan took this opportunity to cut off his cigarette and lightly nodded.

She once again hid the lipstick in her hand. Jiang Fang had already came over to help her open the back door.

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

The car door was slammed shut.

Puzzled, Lin Wan Bai turned his head around and unexpectedly, Huo Chang Yuan's kiss struck again.

"Ugh …"

Her whole head was turned away.

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

When Huo Chang Yuan and Lin Wan Bai came down in succession, the former's expression was calm as usual, and the latter's head was lowered with a flushed face.

Coming out from the elevator, Lin Wan Bai touched the corner of his lips.

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

Lin Wan Bai lowered his head, looked at the sturdy arm he was holding, and couldn't help but tug gently, "Mr. Howe, can you tell me when you kiss me again …"

"Hmm?" Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Let me wipe the lipstick first …"

"Hmm?" Huo Chang Yuan still raised his eyebrows.

Lin Wan Bai licked his lips, his expression extremely serious, "I was afraid that you would be poisoned!"

Huo Chang Yuan, "..."

Jiang Fang, who was at the back, couldn't resist the "puchi" and was immediately looked away by the Boss.

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

Lin Wan Bai was brought all the way inside by Huo Chang Yuan, and many people came over to greet him along the way. Suddenly, Lin Wan Bai felt like she was a Cinderella from a fairy tale, her skirt dragging on the carpet, 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.

"I won't …" Lin Wan Bai was embarrassed.

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

Lin Wan Bai shook his head, "I still don't want it, I don't really like it …"

At this time, Jiang Fang walked over to them, pointed at the foreigners who were nearby, and said that they were the bosses of the overseas financing schemes.

Huo Chang Yuan nodded, then said to her, "I have something to discuss, I'll come look for you after I'm done."

"Got it!" Lin Wan Bai replied.

Huo Chang Yuan walked two steps, then turned back, and indeed 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 Chang Yuan turned around and left with Jiang Fang.

With his words, Lin Wan Bai began to move towards a place with fewer people. She was a little hungry, but when she saw the dazzling array of food in front of her, she actually lost her appetite. She only ate a small piece of pastry and put it down on the plate.

When Huo Chang Yuan wasn't by her side, she actually felt very uncomfortable.

From time to time, guests would come to the entrance of the banquet, Lin Wan Bai just 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.

Lin Wan Bai almost couldn't suppress the panic in his heart, he only felt sweat continuously coming out from his forehead and the center of his palms, while his body felt cold.

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 Wan Bai's throat was choked with a rock, he could only stare at him blankly.

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

"I'm sorry!"

Lin Wan Bai heard his standard American English, and then he was brought over to the dance floor.

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 Wan Bai was a little dazed, as if he 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 …

The memory and the reality overlapped, and Lin Wan Bai's entire focus was on his face.

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

"…" Lin Wan Bai'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 Wan Bai opened his mouth, and finally shouted out. "Brother Yan Feng!"

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

Lin Wan Bai thought that when he saw him again, he would ask him why he wasn't at the airport one year ago, or why he had always been hiding from him. However, when he opened his mouth again, he actually said with a deep smile, "Zhou Zhou misses you."

What about you?

Lin Wan Bai could only blurt out in his heart.

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

Coincidentally, the song had ended, and the male and female dancers by the side had let go of their dancing partners, and they were releasing each other as well. Lin Wan Bai saw Huo Chang Yuan standing there with her body upright.
