n“I seem to have picked up a treasure.”Zuo Hancheng’s breath was faintly beside Anhao’s ear.
nAnhao smiled at the two men in front of her and chatted casually. At the same time, she heard Zuo Hancheng’s words and turned to look at the handsome man beside her.
nHis eyes were filled with satisfaction and satisfaction. It seemed that she was still in a good mood.
n“This is the first time Mr. Zuo brought you out to meet someone. As Mrs. Zuo, I can’t embarrass you too much, right?”
nAnhao smiled and held his arm.” There seems to be cake in front. I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Dear Mr. Zuo, can you accompany me to eat some cake to fill my stomach?
nZuo Hancheng smiled and greeted the man and woman who were walking over politely. He then led her through the crowd to the row of cakes in front of them.
nAnhao was really hungry. She didn’t particularly like sweet food, but there were so many exquisite cakes placed here that she could tell that they tasted especially good. She couldn’t help but cut a piece and try it.
nWhen she turned around, she saw Zuo Hancheng, who was once again being pestered by the CEOs to the side. She wanted to share a piece with him, but seeing that he was constantly being harassed in such an occasion, she could only shrug her shoulders and stand in the corner to eat her fill first.
nIt was obvious that she was dressed up very grandly today. However, all the women who appeared at this event today were dressed up very grandly, so Anhao did not stand out too much. However, her dress was really beautiful, causing both men and women to look at her.
nAt the venue, Zuo Hancheng, who rarely appeared in front of the media, was constantly being handed champagne glasses.
nEvery time, he would only take a sip after clinking glasses politely and elegantly. Although the champagne would not be intoxicating, Anhao was eating her cake at the side. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was not only welcomed into the crowd by people from both the business and political circles who wanted to cooperate with Shengling Group, but there were also many young women who approached Zuo Hancheng from time to time. They took the opportunity to come forward and toast a glass of wine, or take the opportunity to stand beside him, as if they were asking if he had brought a female companion. It seemed like he wanted to recommend himself.
nAnhao ate two pieces of cake in the corner before she walked out and walked straight to Zuo Hancheng. She walked to his side among the women who were pestering him and naturally held his arm.
nShe had the intention of saving her husband as a wife, and she had “saved” him from being surrounded by those women.
n“I finally understand why you don’t like to attend such banquets.”
nAnhao pulled him through the crowd and whispered,””Are there many people here today because of your name?”
n“Hmm? How did you know?”
n“I saw a lot of women, wealthy businessmen, and high-ranking officials. After entering the door, they looked around and clinked glasses with people perfunctorily. However, after they saw you, they immediately ran in your direction.”
nZuo Hancheng’s lips curled up slightly. It was obvious that she had guessed correctly.
n“They talked to you and clinked glasses with you. They even took the opportunity to talk to you alone. Obviously, many people want to take the opportunity to see you today to build a good relationship with Shengling Group or talk about cooperation.”
n“More or less.”
nZuo Hancheng gently swirled the glass in his hand gracefully. He saw Anhao’s thirsty expression after eating the cake. It was not that there were no drinks on the table around her, but she kept staring at the champagne in the glasses on the table. She looked like she wanted to drink but was afraid that he would scold her and did not dare to drink.
nSeeing that he seemed to be shaking the wine in his glass in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, Anhao immediately stared at the wine in his hand, then looked at him again and said with a smile,””Can you let me try this?”
nSeeing the look in her eyes that showed that she wanted to try it, he knew that champagne was not something that could easily intoxicate people. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng would not be too strict on such an occasion.
nCoincidentally, a Waiter passed by with a tray of wine glasses. Zuo Hancheng turned around and casually picked up a glass and handed it to Anhao.
nAnhao took the glass with a flattered expression. She imitated Zuo Hancheng’s actions and swirled the wine in the glass. She watched as the wine slowly swirled on the glass wall and happily raised the glass to clink it with the glass in in his hand.”Cheers~”
nZuo Hancheng chuckled softly and clinked glasses with her. He only raised his eyebrows when Anhao finished her glass of champagne. He was laughing at her taste and impatience.
nHowever, today’s event was obviously not the kind that Anhao thought would end with a casual cake, drink some wine, and dance. The so-called business and political joint charity event was naturally called charity, but it was a gathering place for high-level people from both the business and political worlds.
nIt was a place for companies and politicians to talk about cooperation, business, and friendship. Naturally, there were also socialites or successful women who wanted to find a good husband.
nJust now, Anhao had already witnessed Zuo Hancheng’s popularity.
nShe had just turned around to go to the washroom. She had just turned around and walked a few steps when she saw a few young women approaching Zuo Hancheng.
nTsk, tsk. It’s not a good thing that my husband is too popular. I can’t even be at ease when I go to the bathroom.
nAlthough Anhao and Zuo Hancheng’s marriage did not seem to be real, she was still his wife. She could not really let those women seduce her husband.
nHence, Anhao hurriedly went to the washroom and came out, intending to save her husband again.
nJust as she walked out of the washroom and was about to walk to the other side, she suddenly saw Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi walking down the stairs from the second floor.
nShe stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked away to avoid bumping into the mother and daughter.
nShe had noticed that not many people from the Gu family came today.
nAlthough Gu Tianming was the mayor, it was said that he had gone to Beijing for a meeting these few days and was not in A City. He probably did not have the chance to attend such an event tonight, so he should have expected Gu Shishi and her daughter to come tonight.
nIn order not to bump into the mother and daughter, Anhao changed her route.
nWith her back facing that direction, she walked into the crowd from the other corner. As she was about to walk through the crowd in Zuo Hancheng’s direction, she saw a few people standing together and seemed to be talking about something. She went forward and said softly, “I’m sorry, please make way.”
nAs soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her seemed to be stunned. The moment he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with shock. “Anhao?”
nAnhao suddenly looked up. When she saw Yi Wei clearly, her face froze. After a long time, she finally found her voice.”Uncle Yi…”
nShe hadn’t seen Yi Wei for more than five years. Ever since he chased her and her mother out of the Yi family and divorced her mother, Anhao had never thought that she would see him again..
