n“Why are you with Yun Qing?” Huo Chuan pulled the empty seat beside Huo Zhou and sat down naturally.

n

nHuo Zhou told Huo Chuan the truth about what had happened just now. “I wanted to go to the ‘Secret room’ to have some fun. I happened to run into Yun Qing, so I played with them.”

n

n“Huo Chuan, you can’t be that thick-skinned, right? Yun Qing didn’t seem to let you eat with us, right?” Ye Zhi had always disliked Huo Chuan. As soon as Huo Zhou finished his words, he spoke unhappily.

n

nHuo Chuan ignored Ye Zhi and stared at Yun Qing as if he was waiting for her answer.

n

nYun Qing frowned, obviously not welcoming Huo Chuan’s arrival. “Aren’t you here for social engagements?”

n

n“Social engagements can always be postponed.”

n

nHuo Chuan’s answer left Yun Qing speechless.

n

nIn order to have dinner with her, Huo Chuan was even willing to give up on his business?

n

n“Anyway, I’m having dinner with Wang Fang.”

n

nWhen she heard Huo Chuan’s words, Yun Qing almost choked on the mouthful of water she had just drunk.

n

nPoor Wang Fang.

n

n“So, can I have dinner with you guys?” Huo Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still asked politely.

n

nEveryone looked at Yun Qing, waiting for her response.

n

nYun Qing took a deep breath and finally decided to stop giving Huo Chuan any more courtesy. “I don’t want to eat with you.”

n

nThe atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point.

n

nHuo Chuan found it a little awkward, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes.

n

n“Yun Qing already said that she doesn’t want to eat with you. Why haven’t you left yet?” Ye Zhi rolled his eyes at Huo Chuan.

n

nHuo Chuan did not leave because of Yun Qing’s words. Instead, he glanced at Huo Zhou and asked, “Then why can he eat with you? Are you guys very close?”

n

n“I just made a new friend. President Huo won’t even interfere with my social life, right? What right do you have?”

n

nYun Qing hated Huo Chuan’s inexplicable jealousy the most. She also hated him for always directing his anger at innocent people.

n

n“Brother, don’t be angry. I just happened to meet Yun Qing.” Huo Zhou saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over. “If you don’t like me having dinner with Yun Qing, then I’ll go back to accompany the old man.”

n

nUpon hearing that, Yun Qing immediately objected, “Don’t go. Let’s eat here. Why do you have to listen to Huo Chuan?

n

n“President Huo, please don’t interrupt the gathering between a group of friends anymore.”

n

nAt first, Huo Chuan was still a little happy that Huo Zhou was going home, but it had backfired. Huo Zhou’s concession seemed to make Yun Qing hate Huo Chuan’s actions even more.

n

nNo matter how unhappy Huo Chuan was, he did not want Yun Qing to hate him even more. He could only stand up, take a deep look at Yun Qing, and turn around to leave.

n

n“It seems that Huo Chuan still has bad intentions towards you,” Gu Zhi said to Yun Qing as she watched Huo Chuan leave. “I thought that your cold shoulder would be enough to make him give up. In the end, he still pesters you.”

n

n“Yeah, I didn’t realize that he was so thick-skinned.” Yun Qing rolled her eyes.

n

nHuo Zhou was still unclear about the Huo family’s affairs. He couldn’t help but ask, “Yun Qing, why did you and my brother get a divorce? What happened between the two of you?”

n

nJust as he finished his sentence… Ye Zhi said, “Why would you bring up Yun Qing’s sad past? It was your so-called big brother who hurt her first. How dare he come to Yun Qing Now? The Huo family owes Yun Qing and will never be able to repay it!”

n

nAt the mention of Yun Qing’s suffering, Ye Zhi’s heart ached for Yun Qing, and he hated the Huo family even more. He also hated Huo Zhou, who had appeared out of nowhere.

n

n“It’s okay. It’s all in the past, and I’m almost over it.” Yun Qing shrugged nonchalantly. “Have a good meal.”

n

nHuo Chuan was not around, and the atmosphere grew lively again.

n

nHuo Chuan, who had been chased away by Yun Qing, still canceled the dinner with Wang Fang. With his current mood, he was in no condition to talk about business. He just wanted to vent his anger.

n

nAt the nighttime bar, cup after cup of wine flowed straight into Huo Chuan’s stomach.

n

nThe strong wine cut through his throat like a sharp knife, and Huo Chuan’s eyes could not help but turn red.

n

n“What’s wrong with you? Every time you ask me out for a drink, nothing good will come out of it.” Lin Yu looked at Huo Chuan’s reckless behavior and asked worriedly.
