Pushing through the throngs of people, Lin Kexin naturally saw everything happening at the entrance.
She took in the envious gazes and the low murmurs of discussion with her eyes and ears.
Even though she didn’t know who this man was, and she didn’t remember inviting such a figure, he had given her great face.
The fact that such a man was attending her dinner party greatly flattered her vanity.
Perhaps he was even a man who secretly admired her!
Gu Xiaoer’s mind reeled, her mouth agape and her eyes blinking rapidly, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Han Luoli arrived in such a grand manner…
She had never seen him like this before; his beauty surpassed all her understanding, and each step he took made her heart skip along with him.
That commanding presence that he seemed to have been born with actually did the trick!
Impressive!
The domineering CEO persona truly came to life with him!
Feelings of grievance, fear, and anger were all appeased at that moment, and she even got the illusion that this man was her Prince Charming, come to rescue her.
No matter what happened, he could solve it all with just his handsome face.
Boss Li was already fuming when he saw someone interrupt him from disciplining a woman, especially someone he didn’t recognize, which only added to his displeasure.
Snorting through his nose, he yelled at his men, “What are you dumbstruck for, drag that wench over to me!”
But no one responded to Boss Li’s order.
The three to five bodyguards just stood there rigidly, their grip on Gu Xiaoer loosening significantly.
“I’ll only say this once, let her go.” Ignoring all the gazes around him, Han Luoli strode directly to Gu Xiaoer’s side, sweeping his gaze lightly over the bodyguards, calm and unrippled.
Only the few bodyguards understood the pressure of the man’s aura was causing them to break out in a cold sweat behind their backs.
They had never seen such a calm yet frightening look in someone’s eyes—just a brief glance without lingering for even half a second.
Yet, they were convinced that if they didn’t let go, this man would certainly kill them.
With that thought, they all disregarded Boss Li’s command, loosened their hold, and stepped aside.
“Sorry, I’m late,” Han Luoli murmured, his thin lips parting slightly.
He never apologizes, but this time, he truly meant it.
He took off his suit jacket and covered the girl’s torn dress with it.
He hadn’t anticipated such an incident would occur at this kind of event.
Those who dared to bully someone under his protection were perhaps too arrogant…
Gu Xiaoer blinked briefly, and then took a deep breath, pretending he was just playing along with the act, shaking her head.
She was already grateful that he arrived on time.
The interaction between the two of them was seen by everyone.
Despite wracking their brains, they couldn’t understand—could this dashing man who dropped from the sky be Gu Xiaoer’s boyfriend?
Impossible, Cinderella finding her Prince was like a fairy tale glitch; what was happening now?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Lin Kexin, who felt this impossibility, was just now basking in the self-satisfaction of Han Luoli’s arrival, even contemplating whether she should try to win him over.
But in the blink of an eye, he became the man who came to Gu Xiaoer’s rescue.
How could she accept this?
Amidst the chaotic and complex gazes of the crowd, that tall and majestic figure, holding the delicate girl’s hand, walked forward.
On the red carpet, walking on splinters of golden light, under the gaze of the crowd, in the dreamlike lighting, they slowly approached Boss Li.
Gu Xiaoer obediently let him lead her, glancing sideways at him slightly.
The man’s sharp features were mesmerizing and intoxicating.
Below the distinct Adam’s apple, she noticed his blue tie matched the color of her dress.
This inconspicuous detail moved Gu Xiaoer deeply.
Step by step, they advanced.
