Chapter 187: a chance encounter

Gu Ruochu sat on the sofa in the living room. Her teacher had originally arranged for her to watch a few movies today so that she could submit a post-reading essay.

But now, for some reason, she suddenly felt that she was not in the mood. Her heart felt empty. Perhaps this was a feeling of longing.

"Young Madam, dinner will be ready soon. If you're hungry, you can have some porridge to fill your stomach first." Nanny Zhang came out of the kitchen with a concerned look on her face.

"It's all right. I'll wait for mom and the others to come back before eating."

"Okay." Nanny Zhang nodded and went back to the kitchen to help.

AT THE SCARLET HIGH-CLASS CLUB:

It was almost autumn. Yang Xi was wearing a pair of red high heels. She was an arrogant and ostentatious girl. She had a flamboyant air about her.

Ding! The elevator doors opened. Yang Xi was stunned when she saw the man inside.

He was wearing a black suit. His figure was tall and straight. His pair of black phoenix eyes shone coldly under the dim light.

'Huo Nanchen?'

"Hi, President Huo, you're here at the Scarlet High-Class Club? Why don't you see Ruochu?" Yang Xi stretched out her hand and smiled as she greeted him. However, when he came out of the elevator, there was no one behind him.

"She's at home."

When Huo Nanchen brushed past her, Yang Xi heard the sound of high heels click-clacking on the ground behind her. She subconsciously looked back.

It was a girl in her early twenties. She was very youthful and lively. Her face was covered with some fresh makeup.

"Nanchen, what took you so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Huo Nanchen did not say anything. He took a step forward as if he did not see her reaching out her hand at all. The coldness emanating from his body made people shudder.

Yang Xi had witnessed several romantic scenes for many years. She could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with that girl. At the very least, she was not pure-hearted.

She narrowed her eyes. Could this be an affair?

"Yo, whose daughter is this? Why don't I recognize her?"

Yang Xi's tone did not sound friendly. An Duo immediately shifted her attention to her and said unhappily, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you!"

"It doesn't matter who I am. The important question is, do you know that the person beside you is a married man? You keep talking about Nanchen, yet you still want to hold his hand intimately. You really have no shame."

"Who are you calling shameless!" An duo immediately exploded. She looked at Yang Xi with a hint of fierceness in her eyes.

However, her fierceness was just like a little girl's mischievousness in Yang Xi's eyes.

"Of course, it's you."

Yang Xi did not bother to argue with her. She rolled her eyes at her and stepped into the elevator that she had just arrived in.

As the elevator door closed, the woman flipped her middle finger at her.

In a trance, Yang Xi seemed to see a vague figure in the corridor. There was a sense of arrogance to her. Her slightly long hair was a little messy, and her playful gaze seemed to be fixed on her.

The elevator door closed, blocking her line of sight. She did not know why, but she felt very uncomfortable.

"B*tch!" Outside the elevator, An Duo was so angry that she stomped her feet. Yang Xi had inexplicably scolded her for being shameless.

Huo Nanchen did not care much about her. He walked directly to the man in the corridor.

"Where's Lu Fang?"

"He's inside." An Shaosi withdrew his gaze. "I thought you had a strict wife now and would never be able to leave the house again."

Huo Nanchen took out his lighter and skillfully lit a cigarette. The dim spark flickered.

"If it wasn't for the fact that you took so long to return to the country, I wouldn't have abandoned my wife and come to this gathering with a man like you."
