Huo Boyan walked up behind her and reached out to help her put on the necklace, but his hand lingered on her neck, stroking it.
Lin Yao trembled, looking at him through the mirror, only to find him staring back at her in the reflection.
An unexpected eye contact.
Huo Boyan gazed intently at the person in the mirror. She was like a sprite, captivating his gaze and making him reluctant to look away.
He had chosen the green dress simply because it made her skin look fairer.
But he hadn’t expected Lin Yao to look so stunning in it. Her entire body seemed to glow with a luminous fairness, her slender waist wrapped in the dress, appearing smaller than the span of his hand.
Her long, graceful swan neck, accentuated by the necklace, made her seem even more noble.
Combined with her exquisite, beautiful face, she would undoubtedly be the most beautiful one tonight.
A warmth stirred in Huo Boyan’s lower abdomen, his eyes growing fervent.
Lin Yao was startled. After these days together, she knew all too well what that look meant. Afraid he might do something at this moment, she immediately spoke up.
“It’s almost time, shall we go?”
Huo Boyan saw right through her thoughts. He touched her lips and said softly, “There’s enough time.”
Su Yuqing had been waiting at the entrance for a long time without seeing Huo Boyan. Worried, she wondered if he wasn’t coming after all.
Su’s father, seeing his daughter like this, naturally knew what she was thinking.
Just as he was about to speak, a Bentley pulled up at the entrance.
As soon as Huo Boyan got out of the car, Su Yuqing immediately walked over, happily wanting to take his arm, but he refused her.
Su Yuqing paused, then quickly recovered, cooing sweetly, “Brother Boyan, you’re finally here! I thought you weren’t coming!”
“Something came up, so I’m a bit late. My apologies, Uncle.”
Huo Boyan said this to Su’s father, who had walked over.
Su’s father chuckled warmly, “I’m just glad you could make it despite your busy schedule.”
Meanwhile, inside the car, Lin Yao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Huo Boyan’s words.
He knew perfectly well they were running late, yet he still insisted on doing that thing with her. Her mouth was still sore!
Huo Boyan reached his hand into the car. Lin Yao tactfully took it and stepped out.
The moment she got out, everyone’s eyes turned to her.
That woman actually came too!
She must have found out Brother Boyan was attending my birthday party and insisted on tagging along.
Su Yuqing’s eyes were filled with resentment.
Su’s father was momentarily taken aback before asking, “Boyan, who is this?”
Huo Boyan replied, “Uncle, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Lin Yao.”
Earlier in the car, Huo Boyan had told Lin Yao that the Su and Huo families were old friends.
So, after he introduced her, Lin Yao immediately smiled and greeted Su’s father, “Hello, Uncle.”
Su’s father nodded to her, then turned back to Huo Boyan and said, “You rascal, getting married in secret!”
“Isn’t that why I’m telling you now, Uncle?”
The two chatted as they walked inside.
Lin Yao handed Huo Boyan’s gift to Su Yuqing, who was glaring at her, and said, “This is your birthday gift.”
Su Yuqing glared at her venomously, showing no intention of accepting the gift.
Lin Yao had no choice but to say helplessly, “Boyan picked it out for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the gift was snatched from her hand.
Su Yuqing smiled happily and said, “I knew Brother Boyan cared about me.”
Then she turned to Lin Yao and threatened fiercely, “Just you wait, I will definitely snatch Boyan back from you!”
“You don’t deserve Boyan at all!”
Watching Su Yuqing’s retreating figure, Lin Yao thought to herself, I wish you could take him away; that way, my contract with him could be terminated.
As soon as she stepped inside, she felt everyone’s eyes on her.
Lin Yao felt a bit flustered, not understanding why these people were looking at her like that.
But what she didn’t know was that just moments ago, the news that she was Huo Boyan’s wife had already spread everywhere.
The reason so many people were staring at her was because they wanted to see what the woman who had captured Huo Boyan looked like.
Huo Boyan walked over and took Lin Yao’s hand, leading her to greet some familiar people.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yuhang and Shen Kaicheng, standing in a corner, observed the whole scene.
Zhu Yuhang couldn’t help but ask Shen Kaicheng, “Do you think Boyan can forget that woman and fall in love with Lin Yao?”
Both Zhu Yuhang and Shen Kaicheng knew exactly who “that woman” was.
“I don’t know, but since he’s already married Lin Yao, you’d better not mention that woman in front of him again.”
Shen Kaicheng’s words were filled with warning.
Zhu Yuhang nodded dismissively.
After Huo Boyan finished introducing Lin Yao, he began discussing business matters she couldn’t understand with the others.
Feeling bored, Lin Yao told Huo Boyan she wanted to take a stroll around.
Only after Huo Boyan nodded in agreement did she dare to leave.
Su Yuqing, who had been watching Lin Yao from the sidelines, smiled slyly upon seeing her walk away from Huo Boyan.
Lin Yao arrived at a small garden and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one was around.
She really couldn’t handle such social situations.
Her face was practically stiff from smiling.
“Hey there, little beauty, what are you doing here all alone?”
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of her, his face filled with lecherous intent.
Lin Yao frowned at the man before her, thinking that he was definitely not someone Huo Boyan had introduced her to.
Judging by his expression, he clearly didn’t recognize her either.
But his smile disgusted Lin Yao.
Lin Yao snapped, “What I’m doing here is none of your business! I don’t know you!”
Su Yuqing, seeing that the man had already engaged Lin Yao in conversation, glared venomously at Lin Yao’s back.
Spend tonight with this man right here!
Let’s see if Boyan will still want you after you’ve been defiled!
Su Yuqing closed the door leading to the small garden.
Now you won’t be able to escape!
After finishing all this, Su Yuqing left satisfied. Now was the perfect time for Boyan to need her.
“You not knowing me doesn’t matter, but I’m sure you recognize this, right?”
“Women like you only care about money, don’t you? I’ve got plenty!”
As he spoke, the man pulled a thick wad of cash from his pocket and waved it.
He had mistaken Lin Yao for a woman who sold her body!
Lin Yao glared at him angrily and said, “I’m not the kind of woman you’re looking for, and I don’t need your money. Get lost!”
But instead of being deterred, the man burst into laughter upon hearing her words.
He thought of the woman who had called him earlier, saying she wanted to play some “games” with him.
The voice of the woman on the phone sounded quite similar to this woman’s voice, and she was the one who had told him to come to this spot.
So this must be the “game” she was talking about.
These bitches are already selling themselves, yet they still like to play these kinds of games.
But this bitch is really good-looking, a real looker!
He didn’t mind playing along with her.
“Is this the ‘fun’ you mentioned on the phone? Since you’re so pretty, I’ll play along!”
After saying this, the man reached out to embrace Lin Yao.
