Huo Chengxi's perfect facial lines were tense, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his dark eyes. His elegant and handsome face was instantly dyed with a cold light. He tightened his grip on Xia Zhitong's soft and fragile waist, almost breaking it into pieces!
Xia Zhitong took a deep breath and glared at the man's sharp eyes. His thin lips were sharp and cold as he warned," For a woman, especially a woman I bought with money, the stupidest thing to do is to overestimate your own value!”
Xia Zhitong held her breath, her cherry lips trembling slightly. She felt the cold aura coming from his body. She felt like she was about to be crushed by him, and she didn't even have the chance to retort.
Why would he be angry? It was just a joke. This man really couldn't be easily offended…
Han Shikai smiled lightly, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and said," Kyle, aren't you being a little too strict with your lover? Women…should be spoiled."”
Han Shikai's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. His gaze didn't have much of an erotic meaning, but it was as if he was watching a good show. He looked at Xia Zhitong without any hesitation.
Huo Chengxi glanced at Han Shikai coldly and said coldly," I don't need you to interfere with my training."”
Han Shikai shook his head and looked like he was helpless." Alright, then I'll take it that I'm doing bad things out of kindness. One last reminder, don't forget the real purpose of your visit tonight. Don't only care about yourself and let your little lover get hurt."”
Xia Zhitong turned to look at Huo Chengxi, only to see that his dark eyes were dark and bloodshot. His muscular body was as cold as a statue.
"Mr. Huo, what did Mr. Han Shikai mean just now…?”she asked, puzzled.
Suddenly, the beautiful lights on the cruise ship dimmed, and a dazzling white light shot towards the center of the stage!
The banquet had officially started, but he didn't reply to Xia Zhitong's question.
A woman in her forties stood in the middle of the stage. She was dressed very elegantly and classically. She was also extremely beautiful. She smiled at the guests below the stage and said," Thank you for coming all the way here. It's been nearly twenty years since you left the Chinese market. The main reason why you're back this time is to announce a piece of good news. From this year onwards, the Huo Corporation's investment center will be located in China..."
Huo Chengxi's cold eyes seemed to be dyed with blood. He had been holding Xia Zhitong's arm tightly, but he suddenly let go. His fists were clenched tightly together, and his face was dark. At that moment, Xia Zhitong felt inexplicably disappointed. Not only did he ignore his answer, but he also left her alone in a corner in the dark hall.
Huo Chengxi's cold and arrogant back slowly left her. She wanted to follow him, but she called out softly," Mr. Huo, where are you going? Wait for me…"
The man pushed her away coldly, and Xia Zhitong almost fell.
Xia Zhitong watched him leave her sight, feeling a heartache of being abandoned. Why? Why…
She did not know or understand why this feeling was so similar to when her mother passed away and left her alone in the cold hospital.
In her misty eyes, she saw the man walk elegantly onto the stage.
His appearance caused quite a commotion, especially the elegant young woman standing in the middle of the stage.
A dangerous smile flashed across Huo Chengxi's handsome face as he snatched the microphone from the woman on stage. All of a sudden, the spotlight was focused on him. He stood in the middle of the stage, his deep eyes charming and bewitching. He had a natural aura of a king, causing all the guests below the stage to hold their breaths in an instant.
He spoke languidly, his voice steady and powerful. There was a hint of disdain, but also a hint of hidden killing intent!
A charming smile appeared on his lips. His cold eyes were like sharp swords piercing straight at the woman beside him." Long time no see, my aunt. Do you still remember me? I'm Chengxi…"
The noblewoman on the stage was so frightened that her face turned pale. Her feet under the gorgeous cheongsam were actually trembling!
"You…It's you! Why did you come back…Didn't you…already…?”The woman covered her mouth and screamed.
Huo Chengxi turned around, his lips curling up evilly. He spat out a cold sentence," You think I'm dead? Is that so?"
The woman was so scared that she went limp. Soon, someone rushed onto the stage and held the woman's shoulder. Those people glared at Huo Chengxi in anger and fear." You…Why did you come back? You…You…Are you a human or a ghost?!"”
Huo Chengxi walked elegantly toward them and bent down. His black eyes were burning with scarlet flames, and his thin lips overflowed with painful and cruel words." I came back... to..."
Everyone's hearts were in their throats because of his deliberately drawn-out voice.
Xia Zhitong, in particular, pressed her hands against her chest, her palms drenched in cold sweat.
