Chapter 1340 Mutual Provocation
Chapter 1340 Mutual Provocation
Some people contacted Jiang's father to cooperate, while others came over to chat with Jiang Manman.
"Mr. Huo's female companion is really beautiful. She has an elegant demeanor and is truly enviable."
"I can tell at a glance that this young lady is an extraordinary person. Would you do me the honor of exchanging contact information?"
Huo Yanchen originally thought that chatting with Jiang Manman and flattering her would make him happy, since it was a compliment to his female companion.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yanchen's face darkened further, and he simply said one word: "Get out!"
They even left their contact information? What the hell? Do they think he's just a decoration? How dare they come here so openly?
She's pretty? Does that need to be said? Doesn't he realize it?
In short, Huo Yanchen was very annoyed by those who tried to chat him up.
They didn't know how they had angered Huo Yanchen, so they could only slink away.
Huo Yanchen chased away all the men who tried to strike up a conversation with him. Having no other option, they came up with another plan: to send women.
So he called his wife or daughter over to see if there was an opportunity.
"Miss, my daughter is about your age, and we can sometimes meet up for afternoon tea. What do you think?"
"Miss, your dress is so beautiful. Where did you get it made? I'd like to order two of these too."
"Your makeup looks beautiful! Who was your makeup artist? We're having a tea party again sometime, do you have time? May I invite you?"
Jiang Manman would welcome those who genuinely wanted to make friends, but it was clear that these people were here for Huo Yanchen.
Moreover, those people of similar age to her all looked at Huo Yanchen with a hint of joy or admiration.
Huo Yanchen, despite his infamous reputation, is undeniably handsome!
Thirty is the golden age for a man. Many people struggle their whole lives but can't reach Huo Yanchen's level. Huo Yanchen is handsome and rich, and even when he has a sour face, he still looks good.
If I could marry Huo Yanchen, I would definitely be very happy. So what if Huo Yanchen is a bit fierce?
Jiang Manman said, "Thank you, but it's okay."
This kind of socializing is really tiring. Jiang Manman even wants to abandon Huo Yanchen and go have fun on her own.
She used to attend banquets to eat something, chat and have fun with her friends, and since no one else paid attention to her, she felt quite relaxed and at ease.
But now, she feels even more pressure.
Moreover, with someone watching her, she had to stand up straight and maintain her elegance at all times, otherwise it wouldn't be good to embarrass Huo Yanchen.
Originally, Jiang Manman came here to have fun, but now she feels a lot of pressure.
Although Jiang Manman didn't say anything, Huo Yanchen saw her furrowed brows. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and it was clear that she was not feeling well.
After shooing everyone else away, Huo Yanchen took Jiang Manman's hand and said, "Come with me."
Huo Yanchen took Jiang Manman to the small garden outside, where it was quieter and less crowded.
When you walk to the artificial hill over there, there are even fewer people.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Yanchen asked.
Jiang Manman shook her head: "No."
"Don't care about those people. If they make you uncomfortable, don't give them a nice look. Your own feelings are the most important."
Huo Yanchen was used to being bothered by so many people, but when Huo Yanchen was in a good mood, he could chat with you for a bit, but when he was in a bad mood, no one could expect to get a pleasant look from him; just his eyes could scare you to death.
"No, it's just that I feel a little short of breath. It's fine here now. Why don't you go inside? I'll stay here by myself for a while."
Jiang Manman was also afraid of delaying Huo Yanchen's business, but Huo Yanchen said, "What would I do inside?"
"What if someone comes looking for you?"
"Who's looking for me? And just because they're looking for me doesn't mean I have to respond. I came here because of you, not because of those other people. Those other people mean nothing to me. Do you understand?"
He only came because Jiang Manman wanted to; otherwise, he wouldn't give face to anyone.
Jiang Manman's heart pounded when she heard this; she truly saw love for her in Huo Yanchen's eyes.
Huo Yanchen came with her because he liked her and cared about her, and that's why he wanted to be with her; it had nothing to do with anything else.
Jiang Manman jumped up excitedly and threw herself into Huo Yanchen's arms: "I knew it, you're the best!"
Huo Yanchen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth: "Idiot."
Jiang Manman is really silly; she's so young and already has such wild thoughts.
His hand was placed on Jiang Manman's hair, but before he could start to ruffle it, he heard Jiang Manman's voice: "Don't mess up my hairstyle."
She spent an entire afternoon creating this look!
Huo Yanchen hadn't made any trouble at first, but after hearing Jiang Manman say that, he became even more determined to cause more trouble.
He grabbed Jiang Manman's hair and shook it wildly, causing Jiang Manman to scream.
"Ouch! You're still doing that? I'm going to hit you!"
As she spoke, she punched Huo Yanchen, but Jiang Manman's strength was like a kitten's claw scratching him to Huo Yanchen, and it didn't hurt at all.
Jiang Manman and Huo Yanchen were playing around here, but a pair of eyes were watching them intently.
Liang Chen stood at the gate, his sinister gaze fixed on them.
However, Jiang Manman had her back to him and did not notice Liang Chen.
Huo Yanchen spotted Liang Chen the moment he appeared, because his eyes were filled with hatred.
There are too many people who hate Huo Yanchen. He experienced a lot in his childhood, and it has become a conditioned reflex. So when someone looks at him like that, Huo Yanchen can always sense it quickly and keenly.
That Liang Chen kid, he really hasn't given up on his wicked intentions.
He's obsessed with his girlfriend all the time; he's practically asking for trouble!
Huo Yanchen lowered his eyes slightly, but did not retaliate; he simply pretended not to see it.
However, while playing around with Jiang Manman, Huo Yanchen suddenly grabbed Jiang Manman's hand.
Jiang Manman was still committing evil deeds when Huo Yanchen subdued her in one move.
Huo Yanchen placed his other hand on Jiang Manman's waist and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
Jiang Manman leaned back slightly, but her waist remained pressed against Huo Yanchen's, the two of them very close together.
"Huh?" Jiang Manman had just opened her mouth when the hand that was holding her wrist was released and placed directly on her head the next second.
Then Huo Yanchen leaned down and his slightly cool, thin lips accurately kissed Jiang Manman's lips.
The two bodies were pressed tightly together, practically inseparable. Huo Yanchen's gaze was also on Liang Chen over there. Liang Chen met Huo Yanchen's eyes, his fists clenched tightly. That old geezer Huo Yanchen was doing this on purpose!
