Che Huan frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was excessively abnormal and glanced at everyone.
A group immediately withdrew their gazes and silently set their mental timers.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Just when they thought she would be thrown out, they found that the woman was still sitting unharmed next to Brother Huo, with nothing happening!
Yu Zimu found it increasingly strange, as everyone knew that there was an unwritten rule in the circle—no woman dared to come within a meter of Huo Jinnan.
Someone had broken the rule before, and there was no need to talk about what kind of end they met; the word 'miserable' was far from enough to describe it.
The private room was excessively quiet, and Che Huan turned her head to look at Huo Jinnan, hesitantly speaking, "Can I not sit here?"
Huo Jinnan coolly glanced at her with deep and chilly eyes, not saying a word.
Yu Zimu observed them secretly, somewhat puzzled; the two of them didn't seem to know each other well. How could Brother Huo have given his jacket to the lady?
"Brother Huo, could this be the sister-in-law?"
"Talkative," Huo Jinnan glanced at Yu Zimu.
Yu Zimu froze in place, not daring to move at all. Brother Huo's gaze was too intimidating!
Generally speaking, when Brother Huo looked at someone with that kind of gaze, no one dared to be presumptuous, not even their brothers who frequently hung out together.
"Come on, let's continue." Seeing the situation, Yu Zimu quickly changed the subject and began shuffling the cards.
He had just pressed the automatic shuffler when Huo Jinnan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it and threw a box of cigarettes to one side, "Let's play something else."
His voice remained devoid of any warmth, inscrutable, and Yu Zimu, Shen You, and Qin Shaonan tacitly looked at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan lifted his eyes, coolly glancing at Yu Zimu, "What did you guys play last night?"
"Last night..." Yu Zimu spaced out. Was the game they played last night really appropriate for now? Wasn't Brother Huo always fastidious?
He looked at Che Huan beside Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan didn't look at Yu Zimu, but his hand pressed down on the restless group leader and looked in the direction of Huo Bei, "Take it out."
"Yes, sir."
Huo Bei, who had been standing to the side, picked up the group leader, and quickly left the private room.
The group leader kept staring in Che Huan's direction, barking incessantly.
Even after the group leader's barks had left the private room, those present were still unable to snap back to reality.
The group leader was always aloof; today's behavior was too abnormal!
A few people glanced in Huo Jinnan's direction.
Huo Jinnan's hand pressed down on the cigarette box, his index finger leisurely tapping the box. After a while, he slowly pulled out a cigarette, placed it between his fingers, and was about to pick up the lighter next to him when he came up empty.
"Let me light it for you."
Gu Yunqing came out from the restroom and walked straight over. Seeing Che Huan, he naturally stood between her and Huo Jinnan and with a flick, ignited the lighter, bringing it close to Huo Jinnan's thin lips.
Huo Jinnan threw away the cigarette and looked up at Gu Yunqing.
That look, imposing without anger.
In the end, Gu Yunqing didn't dare sit next to him and quite naturally masked the embarrassment on his face, turning to look at Che Huan.
Seeing the jacket on her, his face changed again and again.
Che Huan clearly sensed it and quickly stood up, "President Gu..."
Before she could finish, a man's cool voice came from nearby, "Sit over here."
Huo Jinnan's gaze fell on Che Huan.
Che Huan looked at Huo Jinnan and then at Gu Yunqing, caught in an awkward moment.
Gu Yunqing took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart, and glanced in Huo Jinnan's direction. Could he have known?
