Chapter 155 I Just Want to Be a Foil
"I really can't imagine how Xiao Cheng would react if he knew you were so cunning and playing both sides."
"What are you talking about? I didn't!"
Chu He drank a sip of hot soy milk, and her stomach instantly felt better. She licked her lips with a serious look on her face.
"I'm telling you, I'm a little scared. You have no idea how petty he is. I think what you told me about possessiveness last time is really accurate. He wants to control me before we even get married. Sometimes I really have the illusion that he's jealous of me. But that's impossible. He has so many women outside. How can he handle being jealous of all of them?"
Chu He kept on rambling on and on. Meng Qi rolled his eyes and wanted to leave, but Chu He held him back and continued nagging.
"He even hooks up with men, and he told me there were no women outside. Why am I so unconvinced?"
Meng Qi shook his head helplessly and patted Chu He's shoulder.
"The first step to becoming a failed woman is to study men. Congratulations, you've successfully lost to him! I think you should drink some wine and confess your feelings to her."
"I don't!"
"Just be tough."
Meng Qi rolled his eyes at him again and snorted.
Since the explanation didn't make sense, Meng Qi simply stopped talking and walked out of the office.
The phone screen on the desk suddenly lit up, displaying several app news push notifications. Chu He glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, paying no attention, and continued to sip her hot soy milk.
At seven in the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, a black Bentley stopped in front of the Wancheng Hotel. The driver got out, walked around the driver's seat, and opened the door for the person in the back seat.
Huo Yuchuan took a long step forward, his slender body stepping out of the car, then he extended his hand like a gentleman and helped Chu He out of the car gracefully.
Chu He wore a black deep V-neck halter dress, looking elegant and generous.
She deliberately chose a less eye-catching look, just to serve as a foil for Huo Yuchuan. It was enough for her to be decent and generous, and let others take the limelight.
But the opposite happened. As soon as I got off the car, I attracted the attention of people around me.
However, Chu He was born with fair skin and delicate features, so even if she chose the most inconspicuous dress, it was difficult to conceal her radiance.
In addition, Huo Yuchuan beside him was wearing a well-ironed suit and looked dignified and elegant. The two of them complemented each other, making it even more difficult for him to keep a low profile.
Chu He felt a little regretful. She lowered her head unconsciously, deliberately avoiding everyone's sight, and followed Huo Yuchuan to the banquet hall with her arm around his.
Huo Yuchuan noticed her discomfort and said jokingly, "What's wrong? Am I not handsome today?"
Chu He was stunned and hummed.
"Very handsome!"
He leaned close to her ear, elegantly and calmly, looking at Chu He with a deep meaning in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"You look so beautiful today. I thought I embarrassed you!"
Chu He smiled awkwardly, subconsciously distanced herself from him, and stood up straight.
In the banquet hall, the lights are bright and the music is melodious.
As soon as Huo Yuchuan walked to that station, he immediately attracted many CEOs who came forward to talk to him.
Judging from these people's attitude towards Huo Yuchuan, we can see his influence in the business world.
Chu He shrank behind him, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible, but she had to praise everyone who came forward to toast her.
"Miss Chu is so beautiful today!"
Among these people, Chu He had seen some of them in public. They were all well-known figures in the business community of Wancheng. There were also many unfamiliar faces. Today's dinner was not an ordinary business gathering.
I regret it. It was a miscalculation. She shouldn't have come today.
Fortunately, Xiao Cheng, that ruffian, would not come to such a high-end game.
Otherwise, she didn't dare to imagine how exciting it would be to have her fiancée serve as another man's companion.
