A reporter seemed to recall something and questioned:

"I heard that Miss Jian offended Mr. Huo last year while shooting a new lotion commercial for JJ and got terminated on the spot. She hasn’t worked with Huo Group for a long time since then... This makes it seem like Mr. Huo isn’t that into Miss Jian, does it not?"

Jian Meiyi’s meticulously made-up face stiffened, clearly unhappy.

Steve immediately raised his index finger with a flourish and scoffed, trying to deflect for Jian Meiyi with harsh words:

"That was just an accident, a misunderstanding. If Mr. Huo looked down on Meiyi, would he come to support the event? Ridiculous. Look, for which female celebrity has Mr. Huo ever personally attended an event? Just this fact should tell you how special our Meiyi is to Mr. Huo."

Even Jian Meiyi’s agent Steve said so, could the two really be together?

Jian Meiyi gave another knowing look to Steve.

Steve took the hint and added, "There’s also something I wasn’t going to tell you so soon, but since you’re all so eager to ask today, I won’t keep it from you any longer. Mr. Huo has also invested in a new film for Meiyi, it’s Director Ye Yongning’s new fantasy and demons movie ’Demon Slayer Chronicles’, where Meiyi is playing the leading lady."

A new movie by the international director Ye Yongning?

Any actor featured in a Ye Yongning film, whether as the lead or supporting actress, would become an international sensation, famous all over the world.

This new movie’s leading lady role, that countless female celebrities in the country have dreamt of and fiercely competed for, has already been secured by Mr. Huo and given to Jian Meiyi?

As soon as Steve uttered these words, even the female actors attending the premiere of "Perilous Moment" looked at Jian Meiyi with envy and jealousy, their teeth practically sour.

A group of reporters no longer doubted, and had pretty much confirmed in their hearts that Mr. Huo and Jian Meiyi must have already started a secret romance.

Not just that, it appeared Mr. Huo was very taken with Jian Meiyi!

Such treatment was unmistakably that of a new favorite!

Wave after wave of flattery reached Jian Meiyi’s ears.

"Mr. Huo certainly has special regard for Miss Jian indeed."

"I think Miss Jian and Mr. Huo could be soon hearing wedding bells, don’t you?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"It’s possible, oh! Mr. Huo has never openly acknowledged a girlfriend before, and now to treat Miss Jian so generously, attending her new film’s premiere, investing in her new movie, who wouldn’t believe she’s the girlfriend?"

Jian Meiyi’s eyes curved in laughter upon hearing this.

Just then, the premiere host’s voice rose with a hint of surprise:

"And arriving now we have the CEO of Huo Group—"

On the other side of the red carpet, a stretched black Lincoln, like a regal sovereign slowly approaching from the edge of night, came to a halt.

The moment the valet opened the car door, reporters focused their flashlights, boom microphones, and camera lenses on the figure that was about to appear.

Supported by Steve, Jian Meiyi, wearing a trailing gown, descended with a radiant smile, ready to welcome the man who had specifically come to support her tonight.

Amid the noisy anticipation of the crowd, Mr. Huo stepped out of the car first.

He was dressed in a perfectly tailored custom suit, his tall and impeccable frame splendidly on display. Long legs, athletic arms, a narrow waist, and broad shoulders, together with a face carved as if by divine craftsmen, brows like mountain ranges, eyes like stars, he exuded an indescribable nobility and elegance, and an aura both piercing and impressive.

The rarely seen Mr. Huo in public media had indeed arrived tonight!

The media’s attention shifted from the evening’s actors to the newcomer, and even the surrounding fans who had come to show their support for their idols were stunned!

Good heavens, this man—is he really just a corporate CEO, not some king of pop stars?

He was even more handsome than their idols, and the air of authority he radiated was something ordinary artists simply couldn’t compare with!

Reporters nearby surged forward impatiently, and under the obstruction of the Huo Group’s bodyguards, they reached out microphones towards Young Master Huo:

"Young Master Huo, did you come here today especially to support Sister Meiyi?"

"I heard that for the leading lady role in Ye Yongning’s new movie, ’Demon Slayer Chronicles,’ you are also in talks with Director Ye to help Sister Meiyi secure the role, is that right?"

"Young Master Huo, by showing such favor to Jiang Meiyi, does it mean that the two of you are together?"

"Young Master Huo, please tell us—"

The car door slid open with a clatter, and the reporter’s questions suddenly halted!

Young Master Huo got out of the car first, but instead of walking towards the red carpet ahead, he turned his head, extended his long arm, and there was someone else inside!

In the blink of an eye, a delicate and fair little hand was resting on the man’s hand.

Dressed in a mermaid-cut gown that was as vivid as flames, the young girl wore a black suit jacket over it, leaning on the man’s hand, bending over cautiously as she stepped out of the car and then took Young Master Huo’s arm.

It seemed to be the girl’s first time attending such a grand event, she appeared a bit unaccustomed, her head hung low, inadvertently dodging the flashlights of the reporters.

You Master Huo firmly cradled the girl’s slender arm, and his large palm was constantly clutching the girl’s little hand in a clearly protective posture.

Jiang Meiyi’s face froze. It was Jiayi, Young Master Huo brought Jiayi!

Finally, the reporters snapped out of it, asking with even more surprise than before:

"Young Master Huo, is this young lady the one attending the premiere with you tonight?"

"May I ask who this young lady is to Young Master Huo?"

Huo Zhenyang glanced down at the little woman in his arms who seemed a bit nervous, lifted his head, slightly tilted his perfectly contoured jaw upward, and responded indifferently, "This is my fiancée, she’s accompanying me to the premiere today."

As soon as the word "fiancée" came out, all the reporters were shocked!

Just now, Steve had been incessantly hinting that Young Master Huo was together with Jiang Meiyi.

If Young Master Huo really cherished Jiang Meiyi that much and came today purely for the sake of Jiang Meiyi’s face, why would he bring his fiancée?

Doesn’t that mean—Jiang Meiyi lied?

But of course, for female celebrities to be associated with a rumor with a rich young master like him was something they would wish for!

The reporters’ gaze focused on Jiang Meiyi.

Jiang Meiyi felt as if she had thorns all over her body, irritated and aching, exposed under the bright sun as if someone had torn her clothes off.

However, the reporters’ focus on Jiang Meiyi didn’t last long, as they swiftly lost interest in her and became fully engaged with Young Master Huo and the girl by his side again.

"How come we never heard about Young Master Huo getting engaged?"

"Young Master Huo really kept it tight, didn’t he."

With a hint of a smile in his eyes, Huo Zhenyang squeezed Jiayi’s hand: "We got engaged last year at the Huo Family’s internal annual celebration. It’s just that the old master doesn’t like his future daughter-in-law to be exposed to the public eye and being talked about, so we never made this public and didn’t notify the media. Not many people know about it."

A reporter unmercifully asked, "So that’s how it is. If the secret romance has been hidden for so long, why did you suddenly decide to bring your fiancée into the public eye today?"

Huo Zhenyang’s deep gaze curved slightly as he looked at the male reporter, as if he found the question quite superfluous:

"May I ask why you go to school, why you work, why you have a girlfriend?"

The reporter was taken aback, "Young... Young Master Huo, what do you mean?"
