Faint jealousy
Hongyan slowly retreated. She walked to the balcony and leaned against the handrail. The refreshing breeze blew against her face, but it was very comfortable.
Hongyan looked at the bright lights in the room and saw the ladies in suits and evening gowns. She realized that she didn't fit in, and she didn't have the heart to integrate into that world.
She might as well wait until the banquet ended before going in.
As Hongyan was thinking, she heard footsteps coming in her direction. She turned her head and saw Hong Xun walking out with a gentle and beautiful woman.
"I also like to play golf. Oh right, my house has a golf course. When will Mr. Red be free? How about we go play golf? "The woman's voice was filled with anticipation.
Her eyes were fixed on Hong Xun, so she didn't notice that there was someone else on the balcony.
Hong Xun saw Hongyan standing alone on the balcony and couldn't help but frown. He asked, "Why are you here alone?"
The woman saw that Hong Xun didn't listen to her and only then did she realize that there was someone else on the balcony.
Hongyan shrugged. "It's too stuffy in the room, so I came out to get some fresh air."
Hong Xun was about to say something when the woman couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, you are …"
Hongyan was worried that Hong Xun would say something shocking, so she immediately said, "I'm Young Master's bodyguard. I'm here to protect Young Master."
"Bodyguard … a woman?"
The woman was obviously suspicious of Hongyan's gender. In her impression, bodyguards should be men. The male host and female bodyguard, no matter how she looked at it, this arrangement was too ambiguous.
Hongyan said with incomparable sincerity, "I'm very good at fighting!"
The woman laughed dryly and tactfully said, "Girls should be more gentle and quiet. Fighting and killing is not what women should do. It's very safe here. In a while, the ambassador from J Country will be here, so you don't have to come in."
Obviously, the woman had some complaints about Hongyan's identity. A bodyguard wandering around at a banquet full of prestigious families was like a mouse pooping in a pot of soup.
It was very unharmonious.
"Oh, okay."
Hongyan replied. She didn't dislike women's prejudices. After all, if even she thought so, she probably wasn't qualified enough.
Hong Xun couldn't help but frown.
But seeing that Hongyan didn't have any reaction, he was relieved. Fortunately, Hongyan had a big heart. Even if others said something bad, she wouldn't take it to heart.
"Mr. Red, I feel a little cold outside. Let's go in."
The woman acted coquettishly like a young girl towards Hong Xun.
Hong Xun stared straight at Hongyan. He said to the woman, "I'll stay on the balcony for a while. You can go in first."
The woman's expression changed, and the way she looked at Hongyan became unfriendly.
Hongyan felt that the woman's gaze had become hot, and she felt very innocent.
She hadn't done anything wrong. Could he not be so hostile towards her for no reason?
He had been shot even when he was lying down!
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall. It seemed that the J Country's ambassador had arrived.
The woman was overjoyed. She even boldly held onto Hong Xun's arm and said, "Mr. Red, the J Country's ambassador has arrived. Let's go in quickly."
Hong Xun was stunned. He looked towards Hongyan. Hongyan smiled and said, "I won't go in for this kind of formal occasion. You are Mr. Red's eldest son. You should go in with Mr. Red to welcome him. Let's go in quickly."
Hong Xun pondered for a few seconds before saying, "If you feel cold, go in first. Don't just stand on the balcony and let the wind blow."
Hongyan nodded obediently and said, "I know, I know. Let's go in quickly. Don't make people wait."
"Okay."
Hong Xun turned around and entered the banquet hall. The woman was a step behind. She stopped and carefully looked at Hongyan. Her eyes were like infrared rays.
Hongyan felt uncomfortable being looked at like that. She couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"
The woman blinked. There was a trace of an indescribable smile in her eyes. There was a bit of ridicule and jealousy as she said, "You look pretty good."
"You flatter me."
