Happiness fell from the sky like fireworks in the middle of the night, catching people off guard.
Guo Huining was dumbfounded. Her heart was pounding, and her ears were filled with the sound of her blood pumping.
For a moment, she could barely see or hear anything. She was completely immersed in Huo Guanchen's deep question.
Until Huo Guanchen's voice rang in her ears again. "… You haven't spoken for so long. It seems like I was thinking too much."
"No, no, no! You didn't! "Guo Huining snapped back to reality and quickly said loudly," I do! I do! I do! "
She spoke so eagerly that she almost stuttered.
However, she couldn't care less about that. She could only pour out all her feelings.
Huo Guanchen's lips twitched, but he still listened without saying a word. Finally, he said gently, "As long as you don't think I'm old."
"Why would I think you're old?!" Guo Huining was excited. "I'm already in my thirties, and you're only in your fifties. You're not old at all!"
"Now, even old men in their sixties, seventies, or even eighties still want to find young girls in their twenties …"
Huo Guanchen smiled and nodded. "Okay, then I'll go with you next week, but I only have about twenty minutes."
"Twenty minutes is enough!" Guo Huining was overjoyed. She held her phone and almost spun around the room. "Then we'll agree to go together next Friday evening?"
"Okay." Huo Guanchen said briefly, "I'll get my secretary to record the time and pick you up at the West Mountain Villa."
"Okay." Guo Huining's voice was so gentle that water could flow out of it.
After hanging up, she glanced at the mirror on the dressing table and was stunned by her sparkling eyes and rosy skin.
Sure enough, love was a woman's best skin care product!
…
Time passed especially quickly when she was in a good mood.
In the blink of an eye, it was next Friday. Guo Huining had been busy shopping for the past week and a half. It took her a long time to pick out a suitable evening dress.
If it weren't for the fact that she was pressed for time, she would have flown to Europe to have an evening dress custom-made.
Because this Christmas party was special to her.
It was the night she officially confirmed her relationship with Huo Guanchen, and it was also the turning point in her life. It didn't matter if it was expensive.
She got up early in the morning and drove into the city. She found the beauty salon she was most familiar with and started her body care routine.
She had to appear in front of everyone in her best condition.
…
In the evening, Huo Guanchen's car stopped on time in front of his West Mountain villa and waited for Guo Huining to come out.
Guo Huining didn't let him wait too long. She quickly walked out of the villa wearing her favorite sapphire blue LV evening gown and a cashmere coat.
Arriving at Huo Guanchen's car, she bent down to knock on the window and nodded with a smile.
Huo Guanchen's chauffeur lowered the window, and Huo Guanchen's handsome face appeared from the rear window. He looked at Guo Huining and praised, "Very beautiful."
The smile on Guo Huining's face widened.
She walked to the other side and opened the back door. She sat in the back seat with Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen discreetly moved to the side, as if he was making room for her, but there was actually a large distance between the two of them.
Guo Huining didn't notice this at all. Her mind was filled with the fantasy of a perfect life today.
The car sped all the way and soon arrived at the entrance of the Sheraton Hotel in the western part of the Imperial Capital.
The Carlyle Corporation's Huaxia branch Christmas party was being held here.
This kind of international investment company specialized in capital operations, so the people they visited were naturally rich and powerful. They were all top figures in the financial world.
Not only were there very few military bigwigs like Huo Guanchen, but he was also one of a kind.
Therefore, when he got out of the car with Guo Huining, there was a sudden commotion.
The guards around Huo Guanchen immediately formed a human wall to keep the reporters far away.
Guo Huining smiled reservedly and held Huo Guanchen's arm as they walked through the entrance of the Sheraton Hotel.
Inside the door, she was familiar with people dressed in fine clothes and chatting merrily with each other.
This was the world she belonged in.
After Huo Guanchen and her entered, the leaders of the Carlyle Corporation's Huaxia branch immediately walked over and respectfully welcomed them to the small reception room inside.
Compared to the hall outside, the decoration was more luxurious and there were fewer people inside.
Kevin sat at the head of the table and was surrounded by a few young and beautiful female models.
They were like fish in water in this kind of setting.
As soon as they saw Huo Guanchen enter in his military uniform, the female models' eyes lit up and rushed over to surround him.
However, they couldn't get close to Huo Guanchen and Guo Huining and could only stare at Guo Huining indignantly.
Guo Huining's mood couldn't be better.
She led Huo Guanchen directly to Kevin and smiled, "Mr. Kevin, thank you for your help in the past few days."
Kevin stood up and reached out to shake Guo Huining's hand before smiling at Huo Guanchen, "This is …?"
Guo Huining secretly glanced at Huo Guanchen and took the initiative to say, "This is Mr. Huo, my boyfriend. The last time I asked Mr. Kevin to find Dr. Tony, it was to save Mr. Huo's father. "
Otherwise, with Dou Aiyan and Deputy Director Jia's status, they wouldn't have been able to invite Dr. Tony.
At first, Guo Huining thought it was Dou Aiyan's influence but later found out that it was actually Kevin who pulled the strings. However, he hadn't shown his face yet at the time and it was Dou Aiyan and Deputy Director Jia who were in charge.
Huo Guanchen smiled and took the initiative to shake Kevin's hand, "Thank you Mr. Kevin for your help, otherwise my father would still be in a vegetative state."
"Mr. Huo, don't mention it. It's our honor to be able to help your father. "Kevin was still elegant and handsome but his eyes were more attentive.
This coincided with Guo Huining's suspicions.
Even the wealthiest person had to bow down to power.
She hugged Huo Guanchen's arm even tighter.
However, Huo Guanchen had said he could only stay for 20 minutes.
Five minutes to go, his personal secretary reminded him, "Chief, we have to go, we still have a meeting in the military."
"The military still has a meeting in the middle of the night?" Kevin asked casually, but also curiously.
"I'm sorry, this is our job. Please forgive me for not being able to comment." Huo Guanchen's personal secretary didn't let anything slip and didn't want to gossip with Kevin.
Huo Guanchen didn't say anything else and nodded to Guo Huining, "I'm leaving now, you can have some fun. I'll leave a car for you and a driver, so you can go home no matter how late it is. "
Guo Huining nodded with a smile, "Ok, Guanchen, thank you."
This was the first time she called him that in front of Huo Guanchen. Huo Guanchen paused in his steps, but his expression didn't change as he turned to leave with a smile.
Just as he walked out of the small reception room with his personal secretary and guards, he suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance of the hall.
At this time, the executives crowded around two people and entered.
Huo Guanchen stopped to look and was surprised to see that it was Speaker Long and Gu Nianzhi!
Speaker Long had a youthful complexion and white hair, and was smiling brightly.
Gu Nianzhi didn't wear an evening gown like the other women, but a custom-made professional pantsuit. She didn't have any other accessories on her, only the watch on her left wrist was unique, showing off her wealth and heritage.
Huo Guanchen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Kevin smiled as he walked out with Guo Huining.
Guo Huining looked up to see Gu Nianzhi, and her good mood for the night was ruined.
"What's going on? Why did you invite her? "Guo Huining quietly pouted at Gu Nianzhi.
"Our company wants to expand our business in the Huaxia Empire, so of course we need the Huaxia Empire to remove the restrictions on foreign investment in the financial industry," Kevin explained quietly. "Of course we need to build a good relationship with the Senate, otherwise how would we even begin?"
Guo Huining was angry and annoyed. "… But you invited me today!"
Kevin was speechless.
If he hadn't sent someone to spread the news that Guo Huining would be attending with her new boyfriend, General Huo, he wouldn't have been able to catch a big fish like Gu Nianzhi …
It was common knowledge that Gu Nianzhi, the chief legal advisor of the Senate, never attended such events.
But this time, Kevin had calculated everything and knew she would definitely come.
Gu Nianzhi stood next to Speaker Long and chatted with the people around her as she discreetly scanned the entire hall.
Huo Guanchen and his people who walked out of the small reception room first caught her attention.
Gu Nianzhi then looked at Guo Huining behind Huo Guanchen and narrowed her eyes.
It was actually true …
General Huo was actually with Guo Huining.
The two of them were attending such an event together. Even if they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, it was still extraordinary.
Huo Guanchen was also stunned when he saw Gu Nianzhi. Something flashed through his mind.
The other party's target was actually Gu Nianzhi?!
Could it be that even Song Jinning and himself were the other party's cover?
But he had heard from Huo Shaoheng that those who coveted Gu Nianzhi had clearly been eradicated by his good son …
Besides, Gu Xiangwen was already dead, and most of his things had been donated to the country. Why were there still people eyeing Gu Nianzhi?
Huo Guanchen's thoughts instantly returned to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was his older brother, Huo Guanyuan. There was no doubt about that.
His older brother had suddenly disappeared because of the failure of the experiment 18 years ago.
He had returned 18 years later with Gu Nianzhi and her "father", Lu Jin.
Could it be that Gu Nianzhi had something to do with the failure of the experiment?
But she was only two years old at the time …
Gu Nianzhi had already looked over curiously. Huo Guanchen smiled at her and nodded.
Huo Guanchen had already thought about so many things the moment their eyes met.
He had thought that he already knew the other party's motive, but now he wasn't so sure.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and said a few words to Speaker Long, then walked towards Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen saw that those people were looking at him again, so he had no choice but to turn around and walk back to the small reception room.
Kevin put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked politely, "Mr. Huo, please stay a little longer."
Huo Guanchen said calmly, "I saw an acquaintance. I'll leave after saying a few words."
Guo Huining walked up uneasily and held Huo Guanchen's arm tightly.
