569 Going back to the old residence
feeling the man’s arm around her, an xiaowan immediately looked over subconsciously.
She pursed her lips and smiled, a touch of warmth suddenly appearing in her heart.
Then, she became even more confident.
an xiaowan chuckled meaningfully. ” mr. Ireland, i’m really sorry if i’ve caused you any unhappiness. However, I had no other choice. I really didn’t want your hard work to fall into the hands of such a person.”
“thank you very much.” the man bowed slightly to her, then turned around and quickly left the scene.
the surrounding people started to chatter. at the same time, du yunlan’s face turned livid.
She looked around with her assistant and found that everyone was avoiding her sight. Thus, this party was meaningless.
Du yunlan was so angry that she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
However, the next second, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
she was not as impatient as an xue.
She had been playing the role of a gentle and kind stepmother for so many years. Naturally, there had been times when she was in pain, but she had held it in and endured it.
so, it was the same now.
Young master Huo was still here. Even if he wanted to step on her, he would have to wait for another opportunity!
du yunlan stayed for a few more minutes. she couldn’t stay any longer, so she left with her assistant.
Next, the drinking would continue.
the number of people who came to chat with an xiaowan had obviously increased. Among them, there were many foreign friends who didn’t know about the an family’s Affairs, so they didn’t have any concerns and came over to discuss with her.
taking advantage of this opportunity, an xiaowan naturally used the homework she had done for a long time to win over the people’s hearts.
By the time the party ended, she felt sore all over and even the muscles on her cheeks had stiffened.
an xiaowan followed huo shen into the car. she pulled a long face and immediately leaned on his shoulder.
this feeling was even more tiring than walking on a show!
“i can understand your hard work now.” it was extremely tiring to maintain this feeling of being energetic, quickly coming up with sentences, racking one’s brain to communicate, and showing off one’s feelings with a smile for an entire night.
Huo Shen’s lips curved up slightly as he raised his hand and ruffled her hair.
he looked at her with a deep gaze.
From the conversation just now, as well as the situation when he met an Xiaowan at the Dragon Court Club that day, he could roughly guess the whole story.
an xiaowan must have deliberately exposed him on this matter.
he had long known that this woman would not be content with the status quo just because she had money. her ambition was much greater than what she had shown!
the car moved forward slowly.
Just as an Xiaowan was about to fall asleep, Huo Shen suddenly spoke.
He said in a low voice, ” “i’m going back to the old residence tomorrow.”
back to the old mansion?
an xiaowan was slightly stunned.
from what she could remember, this man was someone who didn’t care about his family and would never return to the old residence for no reason.
She looked up with sleepy eyes and asked him in a low voice, ” what’s the matter? ”
huo shen pursed his lips and leaned back. his long and beautiful fingers, like a piece of art, were moving slowly and unconsciously on her back.
“i haven’t been back for the past few gatherings. this time, i’m going back for a while.” He frowned slightly. He thought of his father’s rare serious tone and even mentioned old master Huo. Huo Shen felt helpless.
An Xiaowan seemed to have heard of their gathering and suddenly couldn’t help but stand up.
“Is it the kind from the Huo and ye families?” her beautiful brows furrowed.
