Chapter 119 That's truly a top-tier divine beauty!
I overheard the whispers around me.
I frowned deeply: "What fiancée?"
"They asked me who I brought, and I thought I couldn't let them look down on you, so I said you're my fiancée," Huo Yubai explained.
"You!" I exclaimed angrily.
"There are a lot of people, so give me some face. You can deal with me as you please when we get back," Huo Yubai said with a calm smile.
How can I treat a patient like him?
hateful!
"Mr. Huo." The owner of the manor walked over with a smile.
He was a middle-aged man, dressed very elegantly, and while he didn't have that air of elitism, he gave the impression of being of noble birth.
"This is President Cen," Huo Yubai introduced, "and this is my fiancée, Shen Yan."
"You are Professor Shen?" President Cen was very surprised: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't know Professor Shen was so young."
"Mr. Cen, you're too kind." I said politely, "I've long admired you, Mr. Cen."
While I was saying some polite words, I secretly pinched Huo Yubai's waist with one hand.
He remained expressionless, held me tightly, and doted on me.
President Cen smiled.
"We have more guests. Please make yourselves at home and feel free to ask if you need anything." President Cen smiled politely and walked towards the door.
Huo Yubai put his arm around me and asked, "Would you like something to eat or drink?"
"Huo Yubai, don't go too far," I warned in a low voice.
He gave a deep smile and said, "Anyway, you're going to beat me up, so just let me have my way."
After saying that, he hugged her even tighter.
He was certain that he wouldn't turn against him here.
"Then you just wait and see!" I said angrily.
"Let's eat something first." Huo Yubai carried me to the food area, one arm around my waist and the other holding a plate: "Help yourself to eat whatever you want."
I was indeed a bit hungry, so I grabbed a few small cakes.
Huo Yubai poured himself a glass of red wine.
I don't like drinking alcohol, so I ordered a glass of juice.
He held the plate for me and told me to eat slowly.
"Didn't they say it's about dancing with your waist?" I looked left and right, but I couldn't see any dancing in it.
"Perhaps not everyone has arrived yet," Huo Yubai said calmly. "Do you really want to dance?"
"Otherwise, why would I come with you?" I frowned.
He smiled slightly.
The entrance to the banquet hall suddenly became lively.
People around them started discussing it.
"Someone actually came to the banquet in a wheelchair?"
Do you know who this person is?
"Who?"
"It's Gu Yunwei, the eldest son of the Gu family who's been trending on social media today, and Gu Heng's half-brother."
"No way, is Gu Yunwei really that handsome?"
"Of course! Before Gu Heng returned to the Gu family, Gu Yunwei was the most beautiful woman in the industry!"
"Wow!"
"But right now, the number one spot belongs to that person."
"Which one?"
"That's Huo Yubai! He's a true god-like beauty!"
I glanced at Huo Yubai.
He is indeed very handsome.
Even standing among a group of handsome men, he stands out the most.
His face was as if it had been meticulously sculpted by Nuwa, and even the strands of his hair were exquisite.
However, I didn't expect Gu Yunwei to come.
I thought he would only appear in public when he was able to stand up again.
Everyone makes way.
Gu Yun sat in the wheelchair, his gaze cold and aloof.
He saw me smile slightly, then had the caregiver push him over.
All eyes turned to me.
"If I had known you were coming, I shouldn't have let you leave this afternoon," he said with a smile.
I frowned slightly.
"What does Gu Yunwei mean by that? Was he with Shen Yan this afternoon?"
"Isn't Shen Yan Huo Yubai's fiancée? What's going on with her at Gu Yunwei's house?"
"Shen Yan is a femme fatale. She looks like a vixen; which man wouldn't be bewitched by her!"
"Exactly, she's a vixen. She's really figured out how to manipulate the Gu brothers, and she's even dragged Huo Yubai into it. Does she know some kind of sorcery?"
“My fiancée went to treat your illness, so of course she has to leave after the treatment.” Huo Yubai put down his plate and gently hugged me. “If Young Master Gu wants to thank my fiancée, he can just give her money next time. Isn’t it too stingy to treat her to a meal?”
Gu Yunwei: "..."
I didn't struggle in Huo Yubai's arms.
"Professor Shen, you have miraculous healing skills. I have complete confidence in entrusting my legs to you." He smiled slightly.
"It is truly an honor for my manor that Mr. Gu is here." As the organizer, President Cen naturally had to step forward to smooth things over.
Gu Yun smiled faintly: "It's all thanks to today's trending topics. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have let me come out. He wanted me to come out to quell the rumors. Gu Heng has never harmed me. That recording today was a deliberate smear by someone with ulterior motives. Of course, our Gu family won't pursue it too much. We just hope that this person won't make baseless accusations next time."
I sneered inwardly.
The Gu family certainly didn't dare to call the police.
Otherwise, if I produce the complete recording and expose Gu Yunwei's background, the Gu family will completely lose face.
I was warning Gu Heng that if he dared to lay a hand on me again, I would make the Gu family lose all face!
"So today's trending topic was a misunderstanding," President Cen said with a smile.
Gu Yunwei smiled and said, "Everyone just loves gossip. Our Gu family doesn't mind. As long as the rumors aren't completely unfounded, we'll turn a blind eye to them."
President Cen nodded.
"Now that Young Master Gu has arrived, let's officially begin the banquet." President Cen smiled. "President Huo, why don't you and your fiancée dance the opening dance?"
Huo Yubai didn't agree immediately, but looked at me instead.
They actually danced.
"If you don't invite me, do you expect me to invite you?" I raised an eyebrow.
Huo Yubai extended his hand, and I placed my hand in his palm.
He gently took my hand and led me onto the dance floor.
My hand rested on his shoulder, and my other hand clasped tightly with his clean, slender hand. His other hand rested on my waist.
The music starts.
I was a little surprised.
Even though it was our first time dancing, we had amazing chemistry.
The entire dance was performed without a single mistake.
The crowd around him exclaimed in admiration.
"so beautiful."
"Shen Yan is really amazing. I didn't expect her to be such a good dancer."
There's a reason why the three most prominent young men in the capital are all infatuated with her.
"So what? She's just a university professor. Her status isn't enough to marry Huo Yubai. In my opinion, Huo Yubai is just playing around and won't take it seriously."
Those rumors reached my ears.
"Don't get distracted," Huo Yubai said in a low voice. "Ignore them; they'll be proven wrong in the future."
I snapped out of my daze: "You're the one who got slapped in the face. I was just helping you out, I never said I wanted to marry you!"
He chuckled softly, "It's over."
The music indeed stopped.
He cupped my face in one hand and suddenly kissed me.
Everyone exclaimed.
Before I could react, he pulled me into his arms and looked coldly at everyone: "I, Huo Yubai, am where I am today entirely because of her. Anyone who dares to say another word against her is going against me."
