She seemed to be able to cure him. He could only fall asleep with her by his side.
But now, his wife seemed to have completely ignored him. Huo Nanchen narrowed his eyes. They were darker than usual.
There were many people in the private room. The originally chaotic voices were now very quiet. Everyone turned to look at this young woman who had come uninvited. She seemed to have a special kind of charm that attracted the eyes.
She came slowly, bringing with her a light.
"Who is this? She really has taste." A man's frivolous voice sounded stunned.
"Are you crazy? Isn't this Gu Ruochu, President Huo's wife."
"President Huo's woman?"
Huo Nanchen's gaze swept across the room. It was bone-chilling and the man who had spoken earlier was completely silenced. At that moment, he wished he did not exist.
"..."
Gu Ruochu and Yang Chen passed through the crowd in the private room and walked straight to An Shaosi. Their cold eyes landed on An Duo who was standing beside him.
Was this the girl in her early twenties that Yang Xi was telling her about?
"Gu Ruochu?" An Duo looked at the bright and beautiful face before her. She was shocked to realize that it was Gu Ruochu. An Duo had always looked down on Gu Ruochu. It had been a short while since she last saw her, but she almost could not recognize her.
She was dazzling, threatening, and not as weak and timid as before.
"Where is the girl you met in the corridor?"
Gu Ruochu's voice rang in the air. An Duo recovered from her shock and furrowed her brows. "What girl? What nonsense are you spouting in front of me? Don't get close to me!"
Gu Ruochu must have wanted to get close Huo Nanchen's friends so that she could use them to curry favor with her husband.
An Duo thought of this and despised her even more.
Gu Ruochu would never be able to squeeze fit into Huo Nanchen's social circle!
"Miss, aren't you going to tell me the truth?" Gu Ruochu's eyes were cold as she stared at her condescendingly. "I don't know who backs this lady. How dare she attack someone else's territory?"
An Shaosi's eyelids twitched as he took in Gu Ruochu's aura.
Huo Nanchen's wife was not a kind person.
"I don't understand what you're saying!" An Duo looked indifferent as her red lips curled into a malicious sneer. She would not admit anything.
Even if Gu Ruochu knew that she was the one who had attacked Yang Xi, she wouldn't dare touch her. She was making an example out of Yang Xi. If any woman dared to get close to Huo Nanchen, it would not end well for them.
"You don't understand?" Gu Ruochu nodded.
"How about this, if this lady is certain that she has never met my missing friend, she will go down to the police station to help with investigations. You won't mind, right?"
An Duo's expression finally changed. Nan Cheng was not her territory.
She subconsciously turned to Huo Nanchen, as if she was asking him for help. However, all she saw was his shadow. His exquisite suit and cufflinks were low-key and luxurious. He stood up and walked towards Gu Ruochu in a few steps.
His silent aura frightened Yang Chen, and he took a step back.
"Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
Gu Ruochu continued to stare straight at An Duo. Huo Nanchen's lips curled into a faint smile. He lowered his head and tried to hold her hand, but Gu Ruochu arrogantly avoided him. She did not even look at him.
The room was completely silent. The people in the room fixed their eyes on Huo Nanchen and Gu Ruochu. When An Duo saw this scene, she felt as if her eyeballs were about to fall off.
An Duo's expression instantly turned ugly as she sized up Gu Ruochu.
