Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 325 - 326: Mr. Huo Is Flabbergasted
Yan Ting subconsciously turned his face to the side, his deep, brooding gaze instantly freezing on Banxia’s delicate features.
She had already started speaking with a smile, "Mr. Huo, congratulations! Your girlfriend is very beautiful and quite a match for you."
Yan Ting’s handsome face froze as if layered with frost. His profound eyes fixed unwaveringly on Banxia’s charming smile, while a storm brewed within him.
Wei Chen also chuckled as he said, "Indeed, Yan Ting, you’re really lucky. Miss Chu, nice to meet you. I’m Leng Weichen, a longtime friend of Yan Ting."
Chu Tingting immediately responded with a sweet smile, "Young Master Leng, it’s an honor to meet you. Actually, we’ve met before, but we were both much younger back then."
"Who would have thought that the little girl with the ponytail from back then would grow up to be so radiant and beautiful now," Wei Chen complimented her symbolically.
As soon as Chu Tingting heard him praise her beauty, her smile widened, "Young Master Leng, you certainly have a way with words. I bet this is how you charmed your girlfriend, isn’t it?"
Chu Tingting was well aware of Banxia’s previous identity, so she deliberately emphasized the word "girlfriend" with extra clarity.
Yan Ting’s gaze remained locked firmly on Banxia. When he heard Chu Tingting refer to her as Wei Chen’s girlfriend, his large hand clenched momentarily before subtly pulling away Chu Tingting’s hand looped around his arm.
Though others didn’t notice this subtle gesture, Chu Tingting felt it most acutely. A flash of resentment glimmered in her beautiful eyes.
In front of so many people, she couldn’t react openly and instead continued smiling as she asked, "Yan Ting, why don’t you greet your ex-wife? Look, she’s already found a new boyfriend so quickly. Shouldn’t you offer her your blessings?"
Most of the people present already knew that Banxia was Yan Ting’s ex-wife, and they were eagerly waiting to see how the drama would unfold.
Yan Ting’s gaze swept past Chu Tingting, cold and indifferent. Then he calmly uttered, "Sorry, I need to go on stage now to deliver my speech."
As Yan Ting walked up to the stage, he still kept his gaze fixed on Banxia’s hand entwined with Wei Chen’s. His emotions were complex, and he wished nothing more than to separate them immediately.
Banxia could also feel the shift in Yan Ting’s aura—cold, sharp, and distant.
Her heart sank slightly. Was her presence ruining his mood and making him unhappy?
Banxia laughed quietly to herself, a hint of bitterness in her tone, before saying to Wei Chen, "I really should leave now. Can you come out with me for a moment? I need to return the necklace to you."
"I already said it’s a gift. It looks great on you," Wei Chen replied in a low voice.
"I don’t want it!" Banxia lifted her head, her gaze stubborn as it bore into his. "I can’t accept something so valuable. I appreciate your sentiment, but please come outside with me for a moment."
Seeing Wei Chen hesitate and remain unmoved, Banxia made her decision. Without overthinking, she grabbed his large hand and started pulling him toward the door. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
To onlookers, this action undoubtedly looked like a sweet interaction between a couple.
The man who had just stepped onto the stage turned and directed his attention sharply toward the two figures heading for the exit.
Yan Ting’s heart suddenly writhed in pain—it hurt!
Was she doing this on purpose? Or was she serious?
Yan Ting’s mind was slightly chaotic; he wanted nothing more than to rush over, grab that woman, hide her away, and ensure no other man ever got close to her.
Meanwhile, Gu Qianxi, who was also observing the commotion, found his thoughts drifting instead to the solitary figure standing at the snack table in the food section.
"Clang!" Tong Keke, who had a natural penchant for gossip, tried balancing on tiptoe to enjoy the drama. But in her excitement, she accidentally knocked over a nearby plate, sending it crashing onto the ground.
