"I don't want to talk to you." I crossed my arms and frowned.
"Do you know who you're going to present an award to today?" Huo Yubai asked, looking at me.
I shook my head.
"You dared to come without knowing anything?" he laughed.
"This isn't a den of dragons or tigers, why wouldn't I dare?" I asked expressionlessly, "What are you trying to say?"
“I think tonight’s awards ceremony is boring. How about we walk together?” He said with a smirk.
go?
"I'm here on behalf of Mu Xi," I said. "If you know anything, just say it; if you don't want to, shut up."
He parted his thin lips slightly.
Before he could speak, there was a knock on the door.
Ding ding.
"Come in." His voice was low and cold.
The door was gently pushed open.
A woman poked her head in: "Mr. Huo."
I raised an eyebrow.
The person who came was a female celebrity who seems to be very popular lately. I've seen her advertisements in many places, but I just can't remember her name.
The female celebrity in front of me has a very sweet appearance, wearing a strapless white dress, which is both cute and sexy.
"Who are you?" Huo Yubai frowned.
"I am Shang Xiaoling, don't you recognize me?" Shang Xiaoling was a little embarrassed.
"I don't know him." Huo Yubai said coldly.
Shang Xiaoling's face turned slightly pale: "You helped me at a party last time, and I wanted to thank you in person, but you left early that day. I just heard that you were here, so I came to find you."
"I helped you?" Huo Yubai had no recollection of it.
“Yes.” Shang Xiaoling said, “That day I was forced to drink by someone, and you stopped him, and then he let me go.”
"I don't remember, and you don't need to go to all this trouble to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then leave now and don't bother us." Huo Yubai said with a stern face.
He really couldn't remember Shang Xiaoling.
However, this woman was clearly doing something unnecessary.
Shang Xiaoling bit her lip.
Huo Yubai was indeed different from the wealthy people she knew.
Those men might not be very interested in a female celebrity like her.
But at least they're not that cold.
Moreover, she offered herself up to him.
Huo Yubai remained unmoved. Was it because of the woman beside him?
"She's my fiancée." Huo Yubai said coldly, "Have you seen enough?"
"Excuse me, I've disturbed you." Shang Xiaoling turned and left.
"Looks like even the cold and ruthless CEO Huo isn't without his admirers." I teased, "He just wanted to say thank you, why are you giving me that cold look? Are you putting on a show for me? What if he wasn't here...?"
He pulled me into his arms, his long arms tightly encircling my slender waist, one hand pinching my chin: "Are you jealous?"
"Which eye of yours saw me being jealous?" I was speechless.
"Then how do you know I'm just putting on an act for you?" He looked at me intently, his pupils reflecting my image. "If I were the kind of fickle man, I wouldn't be bothering you."
As long as he gives in, any woman will come knocking on his door.
"Let me go first." This position makes me feel dangerous.
He seemed to sense my fear.
Instead of letting go of me, she buried her face in the crook of my neck.
The intense heat of his breath made my hair stand on end.
"Huo Yubai, this is a public place!" I reminded him through gritted teeth, "If someone else comes in later, it will be hard to explain."
"Then I won't explain." His deep voice carried a hint of coquetry: "Anyway, you were always my fiancée."
I laughed angrily: "It's fake."
“Even if it’s fake, it’s real.” He retorted, “If you don’t believe me, go out and ask around. Anyone who dares to say you’re not my fiancée, I’ll break their legs right now!”
"You're being unreasonable!" I was speechless.
"Reason with reasonable people." His magnetic tone was languid: "With people I like, I like to talk about feelings."
“We have no feelings for each other.” I pushed him away and hurriedly stood up.
He sat lazily on the sofa, his dark eyes looking at me with unfathomable depths: "Come back with me, the awards ceremony is boring."
"Why do you always stop me?" I frowned.
He doesn't speak.
"You stay here by yourself!" I turned and left.
After I came out, I felt the burning sensation on my face had subsided considerably.
My heart was pounding just now; I was so nervous.
"Professor Shen." Liang Wan ran over to me and said, "Why aren't you resting in the lounge? It's your turn to present the awards later."
"Liang Wan, who should I present the award to?" I asked.
"I'm not entirely sure either. We're responsible for providing the venue and hospitality services. The awards ceremony is the production team's job. I just smelled something, and it seems like they're going to present the Best Actress award," she said.
"I'm going to present the Best Actress award?" I was surprised.
This award is too big.
I don't know why this happened to me.
“The main reason is that the Mu Group has a great influence in the entertainment industry. In recent years, the Mu Group has also invested in many film and television works. This time, they may be trying to curry favor with President Mu so that it will be easier to talk to him about sponsorship in the future.” Liang Wan smiled: “Take the film and television works of the last three years as an example. Every hotel scene that appears in them belongs to the Mu Group.”
I exclaimed in surprise, "Has Mu Xi's territory expanded so extensively?"
“Yes,” Liang Wan said, “Actually, President Mu has had a tough time these past few years. She was forced to get married by her family when she was a sophomore in college. After that, she took over the company’s affairs while studying. The key thing is that her ex-husband is also a handful.”
"Mu Xi may look delicate, but she actually has her own ideas," I remarked.
"Professor Shen, I'll call you when it's your turn," Liang Wan said with a smile.
"Find me another place, even if it's backstage." I frowned slightly.
Liang Wan asked in confusion, "Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing," I shook my head. "It's just that the air is too stuffy."
Liang Wan thought for a moment: "There is indeed a rest and transition area backstage where guests who are preparing to go on stage will prepare."
"Okay, take me there." I nodded.
Liang Wan led me there.
Sure enough, there were many people waiting here.
They are all familiar celebrities.
I also saw Shang Xiaoling.
When she saw me, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
I sneered and sat down.
She looked at me and couldn't help but say, "I just found out that the rumored fiancée of President Huo is you."
"You just found out?" I smiled casually. "Sure enough, we're not on the same level. Everyone I know knows. You still need to work harder."
I know these celebrities' personalities well. Their claims of being indifferent to fame and fortune are just personas. It's the most ridiculous thing for someone to enter the entertainment industry and say they have no ambition.
Moreover, they care a lot about whether they have integrated into a higher level of social circles.
As soon as I said that, Shang Xiaoling's expression changed.
"What level are you?" Shang Xiaoling sneered, "You're just a cheap slut who climbed up the social ladder by relying on men. You don't deserve to be here. It's shameful!"
