Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Even though the relationship between the two families was tense, it was impossible for them to get along peacefully with Huo Jue’s personality. For a person like him, he might not give a good face even if others treated him with respect, let alone Duan Zheng looking for trouble in his face.

Halfway through the banquet, Xia Jin felt a number of cold gazes sweeping over her.

Although she was expressionless, Xia Jin knew the reason for it deep down.

Although she did not like this despicable man, Huo Jue, many young ladies had their hearts set on him because of his outstanding figure and appearance, as well as the fact that he was the noble young master of the Huo family.

This time, Huo Jue brought her over, not necessarily without the intention of letting her take the hit.

Although most of the people saw that Huo Jue had a female companion, they did not make any small moves, and only glared at Xia Jin.

Only, not long after, a rather brave woman in a long red dress walked up to Huo Jue and said with a light smile, “Mr. Huo, would you like to dance together?”

Xia Jin narrowed her eyes.

This woman had outright ignored her. She must have known that she was not Huo Jue’s real girlfriend.

She was trying to give her a hard time.

Before Huo Jue could reply, Xia Jin held onto his arm and said in a delicate voice, “Brother Jue, you have already agreed to teach me how to dance.” 

Huo Jue and Xia Jin shuddered the sound of “Brother Jue.”

Xia Jin held back her goosebumps and continued to speak coquettishly to the girl in red, “Sorry, you got to find another partner. Brother Jue is mine, I can’t lend him to you.”

She imitated Huo Jue’s words and retorted back at the girl. Seeing the girl’s expression darkened, Xia Jin lamented in her heart that she was really a qualified person to block a bullet.

Although, she did not notice that when she said that Huo Jue was hers, Huo Jue’s eyes twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth even hooked up slightly.

Seeing the girl leave in a huff, Xia Jin put away her pretentious act, and her face turned serious.

Huo Jue sneered. “You’re really good at changing your expressions. It’s a pity that you didn’t become an actress.”

Sure enough, it was all an act.

Huo Jue did not know why, but his heart, which had just been filled with joy, became despondent again.

Xia Jin turned her head and smiled politely. “It’s my duty to resolve Mr. Huo’s problems.”

Xia Jin felt that her performance today could be described as flawless. However, she did not understand why Huo Jue’s face had turned gloomy suddenly.

She felt that every minute she spent next to Huo Jue, who was in a bad mood, was difficult.

Oh God, let’s get it over with it quickly

Xia Jin wanted to wail.

As the banquet finally drew to a close, Xia Jin stood up abruptly when she saw Huo Jue stand up.

Seeing Xia Jin stand up so sharply, Huo Jue turned his head and gave her a cold glance. He said morosely, “Why, are you in such a hurry to leave?”

Xia Jin was stunned for a moment. “I thought you were leaving?”

Huo Jue’s face tensed up, and he looked very dangerous. He shot Xia Jin a glance and said, “Since you can’t bear to leave me, let’s go back together.”

Xia Jin felt like a clown who was being teased by Huo Jue. Although she could not wait to punch this despicable man in front of her, she could only show a smile on her face. “Yes, Mr. Huo.”

Wasn’t this just a matter of putting up with it? She just needed to put up with this scum for another two months or so.

Xia Jin was about to get into Huo Jue’s car when her phone suddenly rang. She opened her phone and saw a WeChat message. “Senior Xia Jin, I think I just saw you at Imperial Hotel. Did I recognize the wrong person?”

Xia Jin pondered for a long time over this person’s profile picture and ID, but she could not figure out who it was.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Xia Jin did not move, Huo Jue frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Xia Jin closed her phone. “Nothing.”

Just as she was about to lift the hem of her dress and get into the car, a sweet voice rang out next to her, with excitement in her tone. “Senior, it’s really you! I was afraid that I mistook you for someone else!”

Xia Jin turned her head, and the girl in front of her was very pretty. She had an oval face and big eyes, and makeup that was not exaggerated on her face. She seemed to be as clean as a piece of white paper. When she smiled, she revealed two small canine teeth, looking somewhat playful and cute.

She thought for a long time before she said with uncertainty, “Dong Yue?”

“Yes, Senior! It’s been a long time. You’re getting prettier and prettier!” Dong Yue’s eyes shone brightly. She tilted her little head as she spoke, looking youthful and cute.

Xia Jin, however, was not as excited as Dong Yue. She nodded to Dong Yue and then turned to look at Huo Jue, who was in the car. “I ran into a junior. Mr. Huo, why don’t you go back first?”

It would be nice if she could slip away with this opportunity.

Hearing Xia Jin’s words, a trace of undetectable anxiety flashed across Dong Yue’s eyes. She moved two steps in Xia Jin’s direction quickly and poked her head out to look inside the car. Then, she blinked her big eye somewhat curiously. “Eh, is that your boss inside?”

A cold glint flashed across Xia Jin’s eyes. Just then, she shifted her body to the side, allowing Dong Yue to face Huo Jue directly.

“Yes, it’s my boss.”

Huo Jue looked up and saw the girl standing outside the car.

She had two ponytails, big eyes, and a shoulder bag on her shoulder..
