Happiness is like fireworks at midnight, which catch people off guard and fall from the sky.
Guo Huining seemed to be in a daze, his heart was pounding, and there was a gurgling sound of blood pulses in his eardrums.
For a moment, she could barely see or hear, and was completely immersed in Huo Guanchen's low question.
Until Huo Guanchen's voice rang in his ears again, "...You haven't spoken for so long. It seems that I am too worried."
"No, no, no! You didn't!" Guo Huining came back to his senses and hurriedly said loudly: "I do! I do! I do!"
She spoke so urgently that she almost stuttered.
But she couldn't take this into consideration, she just couldn't wait to pour out all her feelings.
Huo Guanchen twitched his lips, but still listened without saying a word, and finally said gently: "As long as you don't think I'm old."
"Why would I think you are old?!" Guo Huining became excited, "I am already over thirty, and you are only over fifty. You are not old at all!"
"Nowadays, old men in their sixties, seventies or even eighties still want to find young girls in their twenties..."
Huo Guanchen smiled and nodded: "Well, I will accompany you next week, but I only have less than twenty minutes."
"Twenty minutes is enough!" Guo Huining was so excited that she almost walked around the room holding her cell phone. "Then we agreed to attend together next Friday evening?"
"Okay." Huo Guanchen said briefly, "I'll ask my secretary to note the time and pick you up at the Xishan Villa then."
"Okay." Guo Huining's voice was so gentle that it could make water flow.
After hanging up the phone, she glanced at the mirror on the dressing table and was stunned by her bright eyes and rosy skin.
Sure enough, love is the best skin care product for women!
…
When you are in a happy mood, time passes very quickly.
In a blink of an eye, next Friday came, and Guo Huining had been busy shopping for the past week and a half. It took a long time to choose a suitable evening dress.
If it weren't for time constraints, she would have loved to fly to Europe to customize an evening dress.
Because this Christmas party is special to her.
It was the night when she and Huo Guanchen officially confirmed their relationship, and it was also a turning point in her life. Even if it was a little more expensive, it didn't matter.
She got up early in the morning and drove into the city, found the beauty salon she was most familiar with, and started her body care routine.
She must appear in front of everyone in her best condition.
…
In the evening, Huo Guanchen's car parked in front of his private residence in Xishan Villa on time, waiting for Guo Huining to come out.
Guo Huining didn't keep him waiting, and soon walked out of the villa door wearing his favorite royal blue LV evening dress and cashmere coat.
Arriving in front of Huo Guanchen's car, she bent down and knocked on the window, smiling and nodding.
Huo Guanchen's driver lowered the window, and Huo Guanchen's handsome face appeared through the rear window. He looked at Guo Huining and praised: "Very beautiful."
The smile on Guo Huining's face became even bigger.
Walking to the other side and opening the rear door, she sat directly in the back seat, next to Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen moved to the side without leaving a trace, as if he was making room for her, but in fact the distance between the two was already very large.
Guo Huining didn't notice this at all. Her mind was filled with the fantasy of a perfect life today.
The car sped along and soon arrived at the entrance of the Sheraton Hotel in the Western City of the Imperial Capital.
The Christmas party of Carlyle's China branch was held here.
This kind of international large investment company is all about capital operation, and the people who come and go are naturally rich or noble, and they are all top figures in the financial world.
Military leaders like Huo Guanchen are not only rare, but they are also unique and rare.
So when he got off the bus with Guo Huining, he suddenly caused a sensation.
The security personnel around Huo Guanchen instantly built a human wall to keep the surrounding journalists at a distance.
Guo Huining smiled reservedly, holding Huo Guanchen's arm and walked into the door of the Sheraton Hotel.
Inside the door were familiar figures with fragrant clothes and temples. They exchanged glasses of wine, chatted and laughed with scholars, and had no ordinary people coming and going.
This is the world she belongs to.
After Huo Guanchen and her came in, Carlyle's big bosses from China immediately walked over quickly and respectfully welcomed them into the small reception room inside.
Compared with the lobby outside, the decoration here is more luxurious and there are fewer people inside.
Kevin sat at the top position inside, surrounded by several fresh and beautiful female models.
They are most at home in this situation.
When they saw Huo Guanchen in military uniform coming in, the eyes of these peripheral female models lit up and they rushed to surround him.
However, they couldn't get close to Huo Guanchen and Guo Huining, so they could only stare at Guo Huining unwillingly.
Guo Huining was in an extremely good mood.
She led Huo Guanchen directly to Kevin and said with a smile: "Mr. Kevin, thank you for your help the past few days."
Kevin stood up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Guo Huining, and then looked at Huo Guanchen with a smile, "Who is this...?"
Guo Huining glanced at Huo Guanchen quietly and said proactively: "This is Mr. Huo, my boyfriend. The last time Mr. Kevin was asked to find Dr. Tony, it was to treat Mr. Huo's father."
Otherwise, with the positions of Dou Aiyan and Deputy Director Jia, it would be impossible to hire Dr. Tony.
At first, Guo Huining thought it was Dou Aiyan's energy, but later it became clear that it was actually Kevin who was pulling the strings. However, he had not shown up at that time, and Dou Aiyan and Deputy Director Jia were operating at the front desk.
Huo Guanchen laughed and took the initiative to shake hands with Kevin: "Thank you, Mr. Kevin, for your help, otherwise my father would still be in a vegetative state."
"What did Mr. Huo say? It's our honor to be able to help your father." Kevin was still elegant and handsome, but his eyes were a little more attentive.
This is exactly in line with Guo Huining's conjecture.
No matter how rich you are, you have to bow your head before power.
She held Huo Guanchen's arm tighter.
But Huo Guanchen said he could only stay for twenty minutes.
When twenty minutes were still five minutes away, his life secretary had already reminded him: "Chief, we have to leave. There will be a meeting at the military department."
"Is your military department still having a meeting this late at night?" Kevin asked casually and curiously.
"I'm sorry, this is our job, please forgive me for having no comment." Huo Guanchen's life secretary was meticulous and did not gossip with Kevin.
Huo Guanchen didn't say much, nodded, and said to Guo Huining: "I'll leave first, and you can play more. I'll leave you a car and a driver who can take you home no matter how late it is."
Guo Huining smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Guanchen, thank you."
This was the first time she called him that in front of Huo Guanchen. Huo Guanchen paused for a moment, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He turned around and left with a smile.
Just as he walked out of the small reception room with his life secretary and security guards, he suddenly noticed another commotion at the entrance of the hall.
At this time, the executives came in surrounded by two more people.
Huo Guanchen stopped and took a look, and was surprised to see it was Chairman Long and Gu Nianzhi!
Chairman Long has a childish face and white hair, and is smiling brightly.
Gu Nianzhi did not wear an evening dress like other ladies. Instead, she wore a set of custom-made women's professional trousers. There were no other decorations on her body except for the watch on her left wrist, which showed her wealth and heritage.
Huo Guanchen's brows wrinkled almost imperceptibly.
Kevin walked out with Guo Huining with a smile.
Guo Huining raised his eyes and saw Gu Nianzhi, and his good mood all night was ruined.
"What's going on? Why did you invite her?" Guo Huining whispered to Gu Nianzhi.
"If our company wants to expand its business in China, of course, we must first lift the restrictions on foreign investment in the financial industry." Kevin explained quietly, "We must have a good relationship with the parliament, otherwise how can we start talking about it?"
Guo Huining was angry and annoyed: "...but you invited me today!"
Kevin: "..."
If he hadn't let people know that Guo Huining would attend today with her new boyfriend, Admiral Huo, she wouldn't have been able to catch the big fish like Gu Nianzhi...
As we all know, Gu Nianzhi, the chief legal adviser of the upper house of parliament, never attends such occasions.
But this time, Kevin had no plans and knew that she would definitely come.
Gu Nianzhi stood next to Speaker Long, chatting and laughing with others, while looking at the entire hall calmly.
The group of Huo Guanchen who came out of the small reception room first caught her attention.
Looking at Guo Huining behind Huo Guanchen, Gu Nianzhi's eyes narrowed.
It's actually true...
Admiral Huo is actually with Guo Huining.
For two people to attend such an occasion together, even if the relationship is not between boyfriend and girlfriend, it is still extraordinary.
Huo Guanchen was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Nianzhi, and something flashed through his mind.
The other party's target is actually Gu Nianzhi? !
Could it be that Song Jinning and himself were each other's front
But he heard Huo Shaoheng say that those people who coveted Gu Nianzhi had obviously been eradicated by his good son...
Besides, Gu Xiangwen is dead and most of his things have been donated to the country. Why are there still people keeping an eye on Gu Nianzhi
Huo Guanchen's thoughts returned to Lu Yuan in an instant.
There is no doubt that Lu Yuan is his eldest brother Huo Guanyuan.
And his eldest brother suddenly disappeared because of the failure of the experiment eighteen years ago.
When she returned after eighteen years, she actually came back with Gu Nianzhi and her "father" Lu Jin.
Could it be that Gu Nianzhi also had something to do with the failure of the experiment back then
But she was only two years old at that time...
Gu Nianzhi looked over curiously, and Huo Guanchen smiled at her and nodded.
Huo Guanchen had already thought about so much in just the moment they met each other.
He originally felt that he already knew the other party's purpose, but now he is not so sure.
Gu Nianzhi lowered his head and said something to Speaker Long, and then walked towards Huo Guanchen.
Seeing those people looking over again, Huo Guanchen 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: "When you see an acquaintance, just say a word and leave."
Guo Huining walked up uneasily and held Huo Guanchen's arm tightly.
