Chapter 1719: Chapter 1719: Huo Xun, Such Boldness (1)
Song Yi originally wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she suddenly had matters to attend to and left.
Feeling a bit curious, did she encounter some acquaintance?
When Song Yi turned his head, he saw Gu Anjin walking toward a man wearing a tailcoat.
"Hi."
Before he could get a clear look at the person, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
The person who patted his shoulder was someone he didn’t recognize, but surely all the attendees of this evening gala were people of importance.
Song Yi immediately put on a smile, "Hello."
The other party only curled his lips playfully, glanced him over, with a peculiar mockery in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
Song Yi was about to say, when the other person suddenly had an enlightened look and then said, "Seems like someone who plays the piano, right?"
His expression immediately turned a bit unpleasant, but he could only force a smile, "Sir, may I ask who you are..."
"What is your relationship with Miss Gu Anjin?" the man asked with a teasing laugh.
Song Yi’s expression became hard to maintain.
That clear mocking look, as if even speaking a few words with Gu Anjin was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
This gaze pierced like a thorn.
Under the glittering chandelier, he felt like he couldn’t lift his head.
"We’re school acquaintances," Song Yi said politely, "also friends, I suppose."

Gu Anjin was certain she hadn’t mistaken, it was him, Huo Xun!
This person had such boldness, she hadn’t expected Arthur to have not found someone who actually appeared here.
Appeared here openly and aboveboard!
Indeed, the name he told her was false, because on this occasion’s list, there absolutely wasn’t anyone named Huo Xun, she was very sure of it.
Even more surprising was that not only was he unafraid of encountering her, even now, when she walked toward him and he noticed, he was not alarmed but instead raised his glass in acknowledgment.
Those petal-like thin lips carried a demonic and ambiguous smile.
Dark eyes slightly narrowed, as if inviting her.
Amidst her fury, Gu Anjin suddenly recalled something.
The last time she pretended to be on the same side with him, they both hated Yue Siqing.
So does this fool still think she’s aligned with him?
Is he so certain she won’t immediately expose him?
"Mr. Huo!" Gu Anjin thought all this as she spoke, deliberately suppressing her anger, "Seeing you here is quite surprising."
Huo Xun lightly pinched a champagne glass with his long fingers, taking a sip with a strong smile, "Why don’t you think I’ve come for you?"
"For me?" Gu Anjin scrutinized him carefully.
He was highly confident, confident not only that nothing would happen to him, but also very confident that she would surely cooperate with him.
"Yes." Huo Xun replied in a gentle voice, stepping closer to her, "Because it’s inconvenient for me to find you, after all, it’s hard for you to explain to others why you know me, isn’t it?"
Gu Anjin didn’t speak for a moment.
What does this person actually mean?
She was somewhat puzzled.
"Especially Yue Siqing." Huo Xun curled his lips, fingers lightly swirling the wine glass, as if playing, "I worry you won’t think to tell him how we know each other right away. So..."
He suddenly extended his hand, in a handshake gesture.
Clean and slender fingers, if not for the fact the owner of this hand had once kidnapped her and was an enemy of Yue Siqing, she would consider this pair of hands very beautiful.
Of course, when these hands kill, they are also remarkably swift.
