Did it have to be such a high profile event?
The cameras kept flashing as Gu Ruochu stepped out of the car. Her hairstyle was rather simple, but it made her look very generous and elegant.
The crowd could not help but gasp. It was the first time some of them had seen the president's wife. They did not expect her to be more beautiful than some of the female celebrities who had attended the cocktail party, so they were shocked.
This kind of beauty would make anyone jealous. The husband and wife were too demonic, and their looks complimented each other. In an instant, the crowd was filled with envy and jeers.
It was also the first time Huo Nanchen had seen her wearing such a style of clothing. His eyes flickered, and he could not take his eyes off her.
She slowly walked towards him in her high heels and took the initiative to hold his arm. The bodyguards in front of them cleared the way as the reporters and other guests in the crowd took pictures.
The female employees watching the couple felt as if their blood vessels had been emptied. They felt jealous when they saw the interaction between their boss and his wife.
"How fortunate is Madam Huo?"
"It's too pleasing to the eye. The wife looks so happy!"
"I want to be like that cute couple. What should I do!"
Gu Ruochu heard the excited discussions among the crowd. Fortunate? If only happiness was that simple.
Sometimes, her life was sad.
Ning Tangxi had just arrived. The smile on her face disappeared when she saw Huo Nanchen and Gu Ruochu. Earlier, she had called Nanchen and had been informed that he was in a meeting. She had felt glad when she found out that he was not with his wife and thought that he had a grudge against Gu Ruochu.
She was not happy when she saw the couple holding each other as they entered the party.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huo Nanchen brought Gu Ruochu into the company.
Gu Ruochu was quiet. She did not take the initiative to speak to him.
"You can rest in the lounge for a while. I'll accompany you after the meeting." Huo Nanchen glanced at her and reached out to press the elevator button. He ignored the deadlock between them.
"I have to pick someone up later. I might not be in the lounge."
"Pick who up?" Huo Nanchen retorted.
"Yang Xi and her brother." Gu Ruochu knew that he had invited Jin Ye, so she did not mention him. The elevator doors opened, and Gu Ruochu followed Huo Nanchen into the elevator.
She did not expect her nose to bump into his chest. As Gu Ruochu reacted to the pain, she reached out and pushed him away. "Can't you make way! It hurts like hell."
"Watch where you're going, shorty!" Huo Nanchen's tone was cocky.
Gu Ruochu was not short. She was five foot five, which was an average height for a lady.
She was about to retort when he casually said, "Our child will not be short. Don't worry. I'll make sure of it."
Why did he have to bring up the topic of giving birth again? Gu Ruochu snapped, "Do you have to be so filthy!"
The elevator doors opened just in time. A number of people waiting outside the doors had clearly heard the word "filthy."
Huo Nanchen gave her a meaningful look and left.
The people outside were stunned. Had the Young Madam just called President Huo filthy? What had he done in the elevator to provoke her?
A few warm gazes turned towards Gu Ruochu. She felt her face burn.
Huo Nanchen stopped when he realized that she had not followed him out of the elevator. He turned around and looked at her. His gaze was deep. "What? Aren't you coming? Or do you want me to come over and hug you?"
The gazes on Gu Ruochu intensified. She had no choice but to trot after him. Huo Nanchen's heart softened when he saw her trot angrily towards him.
"When did you become such a thick-skinned hooligan?"
"I didn't do anything. How am I a hooligan?" Huo Nanchen raised his eyebrows innocently.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you." Gu Ruochu was enraged from the embarrassment. He always took advantage of her with his clever comebacks.
Huo Nanchen held her hand and led her to the lounge in front of everyone's eyes.
