“Honey, let’s go!”
Just as Huangpu Xian’er was about to speak, Lan Yue’s melodious voice rang out again. Xiao Yufan was momentarily startled before he finally understood.
It turned out this girl had only wanted him to donate money, and as for the so-called reward, she had never intended to give it to him. Seeing the glint of cunning flashing briefly in her eyes, he realized he had seemingly been tricked.
Yet even so, Xiao Yufan still had no choice but to leave. He chuckled inwardly—should this girl become angry, he wouldn’t even know how to comfort her. He wouldn’t possibly ignore his own woman for someone who had nothing to do with him.
“Alright, let’s go!” Surprisingly, even Lan Yue was taken aback by how readily Xiao Yufan agreed, walking directly toward the exit without the slightest resistance. Since when had her perverted husband become so pure? Facing such an extraordinary beauty, was he really not tempted at all?
Everyone’s attention remained fixed on the podium, and no one noticed Xiao Yufan and Lan Yue leaving. Meanwhile, Situ Xuan and Gong Hao had already stepped onto the stage…
Their embrace with Huangpu Xian’er was brief and restrained. On one hand, they both understood her status, and on the other, any inappropriate behavior might mean they wouldn’t leave the place today.
Had Xiao Yufan still been there, he would certainly have memorized Situ Xuan’s face. At this moment, Situ’s somewhat sinister expression was filled with disdain, as if he were the most important person present.
“Now, let’s invite our top philanthropist to the stage, and thank him for his contribution to this charity evening!”
After Huangpu Xian’er’s announcement echoed across the venue, no one stepped forward. Everyone was stunned in confusion. Could it be that this person was too arrogant to show up?
He had won first place but refused to appear—was his brain filled with water, or had his head been crushed in a door?
This was a golden opportunity to get close to Huangpu Xian’er, and no man would willingly miss it. But with a woman like Lan Yue by one’s side, Huangpu Xian’er’s appeal didn’t seem as strong as expected.
“It seems this friend has no intention of showing up. Are all great men like this?”
With a light smile, Huangpu Xian’er effortlessly dissolved the awkwardness. Undoubtedly, a woman like her was the ideal in every man’s mind, and even stirred slight emotions within Situ Xuan and Gong Hao. However, at this moment, they felt more irritation toward Xiao Yufan.
Although smiling, Huangpu Xian’er’s heart brimmed with intrigue. If not for the sight of all those eager faces around her, she might have even doubted whether her charm was insufficient.
Otherwise, how could that man possibly ignore such a great opportunity…
“Is he playing hard to get?” Huangpu Xian’er pondered inwardly. Even so, Xiao Yufan’s image had already been etched into her heart. Her heart, which hadn’t stirred in the least for twenty years, had actually felt an unusual sensation because of this man.
Whatever the case, she had already achieved her goal this time, and she had found her target…
As for Xiao Yufan at this moment, he was completely unaware of anything happening inside. After leaving the venue, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Situ Xuan and the woman named Huangpu Xian’er, while Gong Hao had been completely dismissed from his mind.
“Honey, are you upset?”
Noticing Xiao Yufan’s expression, Lan Yue’s delicate body tensed, thinking that the man was angry with her. She herself felt that she had acted somewhat inconsiderately.
“How could I be upset? I was just suddenly reminded of something!”
Xiao Yufan smiled gently, gradually easing his previously tense expression. He didn’t want this girl to develop any sense of guilt or discomfort in her heart…
