Chapter 478: 478, one babe per mouthful
“This long?” Su Wanwan was surprised, “So, you and my husband must have known each other for many years, right?”
“Not really.” Shi Huan opened the room partition, “It seems Mr. Huo only returned to the country in May this year. Before that, I heard Chu mentioned that he was working in the UK. It seems he went abroad when he was only in his teens.”
“I see.” Su Wanwan nodded and went into another room.
Her movements were swift. After using the washroom and pushing open the door, she instantly saw a woman standing in front of the sink outside.
It was not that she was intentionally looking.
Firstly, Shi Huan hadn’t come out yet, and apart from her, there was only this woman in the entire female washroom.
Secondly, the woman was standing there with her back to the sink, arms crossed, chin raised. She had a very confident, proud, and critical gaze was staring straight at her.
Even as Su Wanwan met her gaze, there was no sign of the woman’s eyes shifting or avoiding.
This woman definitely recognized her!
Su Wanwan immediately came to this conclusion. But…
She was wearing a purple, waist-cinching chiffon dress. The extremely low neckline revealed a large expanse of attractive cleavage.
Her curly hair was a light tea color, and the makeup on her face was heavy and dark. The deep coffee-colored eyeshadow made her facial features appear more three-dimensional and profound.
She seemed to be of mixed race, and she wasn’t young. Judging from her attire and jewelry, she was obviously flamboyantly wealthy.
Although her current clothing and makeup leaned towards being coquettish, her demeanor was cold and dominant. She reminded Su Wanwan of the powerful Wall Street women she had seen in American dramas before.
Su Wanwan looked her over from head to toe. When she found that the woman was still looking at her, she was about to speak when the woman suddenly turned around and briskly left in her high heels.
Uh…
Just then, Shi Huan also came out.
“Wanwan, do you know what business Mr. Huo and Chu are discussing today?”
“I don’t know.”
Hearing this, Shi Huan immediately frowned.
Su Wanwan, too preoccupied to think about the woman, asked her hurriedly, “You don’t know either?”
Shi Huan shook her head.
Su Wanwan: “…”
That’s weird.
Initially, she thought they just wanted to have a meal and catch up. But they also called Chu Jingyi over, yet even Shi Huan didn’t know why…
**
Returning to their private room.
As soon as the door was opened, Chu Jingyi immediately said, “Ahuang, put out your cigarette. Don’t smoke around the young lady.”
Saying that, she elegantly put out her cigarette.
Chu Xiuhuang took a deep puff before reluctantly putting out his cigarette.
The window was open, but the strong smell of smoke in the room would not dissipate anytime soon.
Su Wanwan sat down next to Huo Jingshen and, as expected, saw another cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him.
Hmph!
Taking advantage of her and Shi Huan going to the restroom to relieve himself, Huo Jingshen round up smoking like a chimney!
Caught being stared at by his own wife, Huo Jingshen coughed twice.
All of them had driven here, and besides, it was noon. They couldn’t drink, so he could only alleviate his boredom by smoking a cigarette but…
“Didn’t I tell you to smoke less?” Su Wanwan’s voice rang out.
Huo Jingshen coughed again before taking a sip from his teacup.
“I’ll stop smoking now,” Chu Xiuhuang said.
As he spoke, he glanced at Shi Huan.
Shi Huan was confused by his gaze, “Mr. Chu, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Chu Xiuhuang said with a slight smile.
His girlfriend was the best, knowing how to save face for her boyfriend in front of others.
Bro, you could learn a thing or two!
…
The food at this Hong Kong-style restaurant was good. The others at the table didn’t talk much. Su Wanwan was immersed in the delicious food until she was full and finally put down her chopsticks.
“Sweetheart, are you full?” Huo Jingshen immediately asked.
Su Wanwan: “…”
She looked up, only to find that everyone at the table had put down their chopsticks.
It seemed like they all were waiting for her to finish eating…
Awkward.
She was about to speak when-
“Thud” Chu Xiuhuang put down his teacup abruptly, “Jesus, bro, can’t you take it easy? Can’t you stop calling her ‘sweetheart’? The food I just ate is going to come up because of your sickeningly sweet voice.”
Huo Jingshen glanced at him, “Jealous?”
“Hmpf!” Chu Xiuhuang resounded disdainfully.
Huo Jingshen chuckled, “If you’re jealous, recover soon and get out there to find yourself a mate.”
Shi Huan nearly burst into laughter.
“Do I, Chu Xiuhuang, need to go on a blind date?” Chu Xiuhuang’s handsome face darkened.
“No need. After all, no one would take you,” Huo Jingshen teased.
Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, suddenly turning toward Shi Huan, “Little Huanhuan, come on, tell Mr. Huo if I have women chasing after me.”
Su Wanwan twitched her mouth, Huo Jingshen was watching eagerly, Chu Jingyi frowned while Shi Huan…
She glanced at the time, “Mr. Chu, it’s getting late. Your break is over. Would you like to leave earlier?”
Chu Xiuhuang leaned against his cheek with his tongue, looking both charming and enchanting, “What’s the rush? Big brother still has something to say.”
Shi Huan looked at Huo Jingshen.
The man was narrowing his eyes, his expression suddenly became serious, making the atmosphere on the table seemed suddenly solemn.
Then-
“Jingyi.”
Hearing her name, Chu Jingyi paused, “What’s up?”
Huo Jingshen said, “The reason I asked you here today is because there is something I need you to clarify.”
“What is it?” Chu Jingyi used a wet wipe to clean her fingers. His serious attitude made her increasingly uneasy.
With a gesture from Huo Jingshen, Chu Xiuhuang bent down and brought out a bag from beside his foot.
Then he took out a dark blue scarf from the bag. The expressions of the three women present subtly changed for a moment upon seeing it.
