It was already seven o'clock, and more than four hours had passed since Huo Sikai returned home, and during these four hours, the door of the study room had never been opened.
Seeing that the time for the banquet was approaching, Steward Sun had no choice but to knock on the door of the study.
A man's slightly deep voice came from the study: "Come in."
Butler Sun opened the door and walked in, reminding: "Master, the banquet at 7:30, the clothes are ready, do you want to start now?"
The man responded lightly, got up and walked out of the study.
The banquet was held by the Yan family. After the news of the two marriages spread, the Yan family's stock price rose a lot, but since the two families canceled the marriage, the Yan family's previous rise in stock price has fallen again. Yes, even worse than before.
The reason why the Yan family held this banquet was to tell those outside that even if the marriage was cancelled, the relationship between the two families would remain as good as ever, and the cooperation between the two families would not be affected in any way.
The reason why Huo Sikai attended this banquet was entirely due to the old friendship between the two families, so after arriving at the Yan family, he planned to say hello to the two elders of the Yan family and leave.
The people who came to this banquet were more or less there for the purpose of flattering Huo Sikai. As soon as Huo Sikai stepped in, many people gathered around and chatted with him with red wine glasses.
Huo Sikai had always shown a lack of interest, and when facing those people, he seemed somewhat perfunctory, but no one dared to get angry, instead he was worried that what he said might offend him.
But soon, Huo Sikai's eyes were attracted by the two standing in the corner.
It was Chen Lin and Yan Ning.
Chen Lin sneaked in wearing the clothes of a waiter, not to mention whether his identity is qualified enough to participate in this banquet, it is impossible for the Yan family and his wife to let him in just because of the grievances between him and the Yan family. .
Unexpectedly, not long after sneaking in, she was caught by the young lady of the Yan family.
"Sneaking around in waiter clothes, what do you want?"
Chen Lin took the girl's hand away, and rearranged his messed up bow tie.
"Didn't you already know what I want to do?" After speaking, he pouted in the direction of the target person.
Yan Ning looked in Huo Sikai's direction, and frowned instantly.
"As soon as the news of the cancellation of the marriage was released, that group of people dressed up in fancy clothes and moved forward without looking in the mirror. Their faces were painted like those ghosts and monsters. It's no wonder that Huo Sikai likes them."
Chen Lin echoed: "Yes, yes, those coquettish sluts outside can't compare to you, Miss Yan, who are so fresh and refined."
Yan Ning was overjoyed by his praise, but soon, the corners of her mouth were suppressed again, and she glanced at Chen Lin with resentment in her eyes: "No matter how fresh and refined, it can't compare to you, a three-legged person."
Chen Lin: "..."
He looked at it as if he had taken a liking to Huo Sikai.
Facing his suspicious gaze, Yan Ning looked away uncomfortably, and then resumed the savage tone of Miss Qianjin: "Hmph, don't look at me like that, if he likes women, maybe I will still Will really give it a try.”
"Okay, don't stare at me, hurry up and deal with those women."
As he said that, he pushed Chen Lin in the direction of Huo Sikai. Chen Lin was holding a tray with two glasses of wine on it. Those who passed by suffered a little.
The pink evening dress was instantly dyed the color of a large piece of red wine. The woman stared at her evening dress and let out a scream.
"How do you do things? Don't you have eyes to look at the road?"
Chen Lin looked at the woman with an apologetic face: "This beautiful lady, I am really sorry for staining your clothes."
The just right expression, coupled with that exceptionally good face, instantly eased the other party's face.
"It's okay, I made too much fuss, you can accompany me to wash it, I don't know if it will be washed off."
Seeing the Yan family and his wife looked over, Chen Lin quickly agreed.
The pink dress was stained with the color of red wine, so it wasn't easy to wash it off. Chen Lin suggested: "Or I'll order another one for you, it looks like it won't wash off."
The woman held down Chen Lin's hand: "Try again, I just came to the banquet, and I haven't played well for a while, if I leave halfway because of my clothes, it would be such a disappointment."
When he said this, the woman's exquisite manicure lightly brushed over the back of Chen Lin's hand, with a hint of inexplicable hints.
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and the moment he raised his head again, the smile on his face was a bit ruffian.
He pinched the woman's chin and asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to wash your skirt for you, or do you want me to play with you while there is no one around?"
The woman smiled and put her hands on his chest.
Chen Lin silently counted the time in his heart, leaned into the woman's ear and said, "It's a pity, I only like men."
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Lin was pulled away. The person who came in was Yan Ning. She was holding a brand new evening dress in her hand. After pulling Chen Lin away, she threw the evening dress in her hand to woman.
"Hurry up and change your clothes, go out and enjoy your banquet."
Immediately afterwards, she pulled Chen Lin outside, pulled Chen Lin to the front of the man leaning on the wall outside, and Yan Ning left.
"It's still so easy to hook up."
When Huo Sikai saw that the young man just smiled and didn't answer, he suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"Don't you only like rich people? I think the value of that lady just now seems to be inferior to that of your previous boyfriend."
Chen Lin saw that the fire was almost over, so he slowly opened his mouth: "Young Master Huo knows my ex-boyfriend so well, he even knows how much he is worth, so he must have investigated him secretly, right?"
Huo Sikai frowned, and subconsciously wanted to say a few words of ridicule, but when the words came to his lips, he softened a little: "You think too much."
"Okay," Chen Lin shrugged, "Just treat it as my overthinking."
He changed the subject: "Then, Huo Shao ran outside the women's bathroom and waited. He couldn't be waiting for his girlfriend, right?"
Seeing the target person's expressionless face, Chen Lin suddenly grabbed the man's tie, instantly shortening the distance between the two of them a lot: "Did Huo Shao think about my proposal earlier? Is there any result now?"
——If you had told me your real identity before, I would definitely not have chosen to divorce. Now that you have returned to the Huo family, why don't you give me another chance, let's get together again, I promise, as long as we get together again, you will definitely To be able to forget all the unpleasantness of the past.
—As for the conditions, you know me very well, you can afford anything I want, it just depends on whether you are willing to give it now.
What the young man said to him in the coffee shop that day resurfaced again.
Using love as an exchange condition for material life, the young man said so understatedly. He was obviously so vain that it made people angry, but he couldn't help fantasizing according to the conditions proposed by the young man.
Chen Lin stared at the man's eyes that were as black as ink, and he saw that the look inside was no longer firm, but gradually began to waver, and then fell apart.
"You should already have the results, right?"
He got very close, and all his hot breath sprayed on the man's cheeks, as if if he moved a little further, their lips would stick together.
However, he didn't come any closer, just hanging there.
Compared with patience, Chen Lin is obviously better.
It seemed as if a century had passed before Chen Lin was pushed away by the man.
Chen Lin took a step back to stabilize his figure, and saw that the man's unsteady look just now disappeared, replaced by his usual indifference. When he was staring at him, those eyes seemed to have no emotion.
"It is true that there are quite a few rich second-generation boys in the circle who like to take care of some handsome boys, but I don't have that habit. If you choose to follow me, then you will not have any status. We are still the same to the outside world. relationship with strangers."
When raising these conditions again, Huo Sikai was thinking that if the young man did not agree to his conditions, they would just let it go. In the end, he would be the one who felt sad.
After all, he knows young people too well. This person is used to being heartless. Even breaking up is not a big deal to young people.
Moreover, these conditions he proposed are extremely important to young people, and he may not agree to them.
This is Huo Sikai's last chance for himself.
After that, whether to be alone or continue to sink, depends on today.
The young man was silent for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Of course there is no problem."
Huo Sikai nodded, and then continued to raise conditions: "You must move to live in my private villa, but you are not allowed to bring people back to have a party, and you are not allowed to broadcast live in the room, and you must not go home later than twelve o'clock at night..."
For the things he proposed, the young man agreed without hesitation, and his straightforward attitude almost gave Huo Sikai an illusion.
You know, in the past, as long as he interfered with the young man a little bit, the young man would lose his temper, and it would take several days to coax him well, but now, the young man agreed to everything without any bottom line.
This is probably the power of money, Huo Sikai thought with some self-mockery.
Seeing him stop, Chen Lin took the initiative to say, "Report everything else one by one, so as to save trouble in the future."
"It won't be troublesome. After you move there, I will pass on a contract to you."
Tsk tsk, he also made a contract, he is really a person without emotion.
Chen Lin nodded: "Okay."
Huo Sikai said again: "The most important point is that when you are with me, you are not allowed to look for another family. You have to wait until I get tired of playing and we break up before you can find someone else."
Chen Lin suddenly stretched out his hands, wrapped his arms around the man's neck, and complained: "It's really troublesome, but this one is completely unnecessary, because ah, after I have you, why would I be willing to find someone else? .”
