偷窥闺房

Although they were sitting in a rather inconspicuous place, they still attracted many people’s attention.

After the tactful struck up a conversation and left, he was stopped by a few people after he had just taken a few steps.

“What were you talking about earlier? Second Master Huo looked much more amiable than usual. Teach me.”

The man smiled mysteriously and did not say anything.

There were guests who had visited the dessert shop before. The observant ones had long noticed that the person next to Huo Zheng was the person who had been helping out at the shop.

“Who’s that woman next to him?”

The man glanced at everyone and smiled before he said politely, “There’s only one person whom Second Master Huo would bring here…”

The others naturally understood the meaning of these words.

Among these few people, the person who was most anxious earlier wore a dissatisfied expression on his face as he said unhappily, “1 knew she wasn’t just a simple helper at the shop! Who does she think she is to act so arrogant? Isn’t she just relying on the Huo family to act that way?”

Upon hearing this, the man, who had just successfully handed his business card to Huo Zheng and seemed to have left a good impression on Huo Zheng, did not change his expression, but he skillfully distanced himself from the other party. A person who spoke without thinking would get into trouble sooner or later. There was no need for him to befriend the other party.

After giving his speech, the head of the Bai family also came over to speak to Huo Zheng. To be honest, he did not expect that his daughter would be able to invite Huo Zheng to his party. He raised his glass and toasted Huo Zheng, finishing it in one gulp before he said, “Second Master Huo, thank you for coming today.”

Huo Zheng’s appearance at this birthday party would definitely make things easy for him in the future when he was networking. For this reason, despite being the star of the party, he took the initiative to come to see Huo Zheng.

The head of the Bai family’s appearance and temperament were very different. His face looked gentle, and his skin and lips were slightly pale. He looked like a weak and frail young master in ancient dramas. He did not look his age at all. Although he was in his fifties, he did not look much older than a man in his thirties. He took very good care of his appearance.

After a brief moment, he raised his glass and looked at Xiaowan before he asked, “This must be Second Master Huo’s wife, right?

Huo Zheng looked at Lin Xiaowan as though he was asking silently with his eyes, “How are you going to reply?”

Huo Zheng had been refuted by her earlier so he did not rush to respond this time.

Lin Xiaowan cleared her throat awkwardly before she said, “We’re not married yet.”

Then, as though she was worried Huo Zheng would misunderstand, she quickly added, “But we’ll get married in the future.”

However, as soon as Lin Xiaowan finished speaking, she felt that her words were inappropriate.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Bai family’s eyes flashed slightly. He praised her before he asked to attend the wedding in the future. He could tell that Huo Zheng did not object to her words. He also did not continue on this topic. He only raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “Second Master Huo’s wedding will definitely be incomparably grand in the future.”

After that, he did not beat around the bush and said directly, “1 really didn’t expect Second Master Huo to come today. It’s my honor to be able to speak to you. If you need any partners to cooperate with in the future, I sincerely hope that you’ll give small families like us a chance. I’ll be eternally grateful to you.”

His words and tone were very pleasant to the ears. He made a small request in such a relaxed manner. It was as though if Huo Zheng was willing to help him, he’ll accept it. If Huo Zheng was not willing, he also would not pester Huo Zheng.

Lin Xiaowan looked at Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng’s expression did not betray his thoughts. He only nodded and said in a deep voice, “Master Bai, you’re too polite.”

After that, the head of the Bai family left with his personal assistant to chat with the other guests.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan noticed that although no one approached them, most of them were pretending to pass by, trying to eavesdrop on them. She said to Huo Zheng, “Do you know when they address you as Second Master Huo, 1 feel like I’ve gone back in time by a few hundred years. You’re just like a feudal lord.”

Apart from that, Lin Xiaowan felt that the title ‘Second Master Huo’ made him seem decades older.

‘Ah, it really doesn’t sound good…’

After a moment, she asked, “Don’t tell that when Elder Brother comes out to socialize, everyone addresses him as Master or Eldest Master?”

“Mm,” Huo Zheng replied with a nod..
