Chapter 136
Imperial Capital, charity dinner.
There were many well-known people there. Besides those who were in the upper class, there were also quite a few famous international celebrities present.
One of the hosts tonight was a famous host in the country and was known for her humor. The other one was a popular hostess who hosts the Spring Festival Gala each year.
From the hosts to the guests, you can tell that this was a significant charity dinner.
After Huo Yusen arrived, Zhao Hao and Shen Yu came over to him.
Zhao Huo was confused. “Brother Sen, didn’t you reject the dinner’s invitation last time?”
Huo Yusen didn’t explain much, he just said cooly, “Change of plans.”
Zhao Hao acknowledged with a sound, and muttered, “Good, good.”
He picked up a glass of red wine and looked around. Suddenly, it was as if he saw someone, his eyes all of a sudden opening widely.
He shakily pointed toward a direction and couldn’t help but curse the next second.
Looking toward where Zhao Hao was pointing, a woman with delicate makeup was walking towards them.
She was wearing a light pink short dress, and her smooth and pale back was revealed. There were many pink little gems on the back of her skirt and they looked like stars, shining brightly and attractively.
She was wearing high heels that were secured with a thin strip. And when she walked, the shape of her body was very well defined, making her appear evermore charming.
What a bright and shining beauty.
Zhao Hao was dumbfounded while staring at Chu Xueyi. “Isn’t this the daughter of the Chu family? I can’t believe she got so pretty after studying abroad.”
Shen Yu nodded his head in agreement. “This Chu lady is really attractive tonight. She’s even prettier than the female celebrities.” After his sentence, Shen Yu blinked at Huo Yusen with a gossipy look. “Isn’t Chu Xueyi your childhood friend? Are you not going to comment on her look tonight?”
Huo Yusen still had a cold expression on his face. But before he could answer, Chu Xueyi was already walking towards him. Her voice was clear and moving. “Brother Huo.”
Huo Yusen acknowledged with a sound and raised his chin a bit as a greeting.
Chu Xueyi was already used to Huo Yusen’s coldness, so she wasn’t impacted by it at all.
However, Zhao Hao didn’t like how Huo Yusen ignored the beauty and voluntarily started a conversation with Chu Xueyi.
Chu Xueyi’s great manner and mild temperament and controlled words made Zhao Hao have a boosted impression of her.
The two immediately entered a heated conversation.
Chu Xueyi occasionally looked at Huo Yusen for help, but he neither seemed to notice nor responded to her needs.
All Chu Xueyi could do was helplessly try to handle Zhao Hao’s enthusiasm.
The heat was quite strong in the room, and Huo Yusen was a bit hot from it, so he took his jacket off.
Since he was wearing a suit today, he had a white shirt to go with the jacket.
Shen Yu glanced casually at Huo Yusen, and then exclaimed, “What the heck!? Ah Sen, are you messing around too?”
Hearing this, Huo Yusen frowned. What did he mean by messing around?
What did he mess around with?
Huo Yusen’s voice was a bit cold. “What did you say?”
Shen Yu pointed at Huo Yusen’s shirt with a complicated expression: there was a red lipstick stain on Huo Yusen’s white shirt.
The red on white was especially obvious under the light.
There was a hint of gold on the red stain, making it more flirtatious.
Shen Yu hung out with a lot of women, so even as a straight guy, he knew that the lipstick stain was of a very popular shade this year.
The combination of gold and red…
The girl using this lipstick had nice taste.
Huo Yusen subconsciously looked towards the direction of Shen Yu’s finger.
There was a red lipstick stain blatantly showing itself on his shirt as if to brag to everyone at the scene.
When Chu Xueyi saw the stain, she immediately changed her expression.
Her face turned pale and was a bit shaky for a moment.
As for Huo Yusen, he could only think of one person as he stared at the stain.
She was the only person who would have the chance of leaving such a mark on him.
***
The road was slippery from the snow. When Huo Wu left the house, she didn’t dare to drive too fast as well.
It takes around half an hour to get to Yu Xinxin’s house.
And while waiting for the lights to turn green, Huo Wu put on a bit more lipstick.
She wasn’t feeling too well recently, and her lip color had been a bit pale as well, which was why she was putting on lipstick to make her look more energized.
She only put on a very thin layer, and you wouldn’t even be able to tell without looking closely at her lips that she was wearing any.
While Huo Wu was putting on lipstick, there was suddenly a bright light that shined in front of Huo Wu’s car.
And along with that was the sound of a truck approaching closer and closer…
