Chapter 129: Attending the Banquet

Mo Zhu looked up and scrutinized Chen Man’s face for a while before nodding in agreement. “The effect is indeed very obvious. It looks like it suits you very well. Auntie, take these and use them first. Send me a message if you’re short of anything and I’ll replenish it for you!”

Chen Man nodded happily, and her satisfaction towards Mo Zhu increased by another level. Not only was this daughter-in-law smart, she was also obedient, and multi-talented. She was a treasure that fell from the sky into the Huo family!

After this incident, Chen Man’s mood instantly improved. The two of them chatted and laughed, and in the blink of an eye, the banquet was about to begin.

After Chen Man’s repeated reminders, Huo Tao had placed great importance on the engagement banquet. He arrived an hour early and not only did he personally check the guest list for the banquet, he also checked the decorations of the banquet hall personally.

After instructing the driver to pick up Chen Man and Mo Zhu from the Huo residence, Huo Tao tidied up his suit and stood at the entrance of the hotel, ready to welcome the arriving guests.

When Chen Man and Mo Zhu arrived, many influential people from Cloud City had already arrived at the venue. Because everyone knew what this engagement banquet meant, when they saw the Huo family’s car parked at the entrance of the hotel, everyone was eager to see what the future mistress of the Huo family looked like.

The car stopped at the reception area orderly. Once it stopped, a hotel waiter quickly went up to open the door for the VIP in the back seat.

Chen Man got out of the car first. In order to fit the mood of this festive day, she had specially chosen a rose-red evening gown. It not only showed the Huo family’s elegance, but it also looked dignified and elegant to others.

In addition, she had just put on the face mask that Mo Zhu had meticulously prepared which was followed by exquisite makeup. Appearing in such a stunning manner made her appear even more imposing now.

After Chen Man got out of the car, the waiter came to the other side and opened the car door for Mo Zhu. Everyone looked in the direction of the half-opened car door and the first thing that appeared in their line of sight was the ankle of a slender and fair girl who was wearing a pair of pure white crystal shoes filled with diamonds. Then, a pair of slender, fair, and long legs appeared in front of everyone.

Even when Mo Zhu had leaned out of the car, the surrounding crowd did not recover from their shock.

The girl in front of them was wearing a pure white high-end gown. From the hair accessories on her head to the shoes on her feet, all of them gave off the feels of a rich person.

The tube top and waist design perfectly accentuated Mo Zhu’s exquisite collarbones and slender waist. Coupled with her devastatingly beautiful face, she looked like a fairy that had accidentally fallen into the mortal world!

Mo Zhu arrived at the right time. Huo Xuan had just finished settling his company’s matters and rushed to the banquet. He entered the venue from a side door and saw the beautiful scene in front of him the moment he arrived at the reception.

His eyes and his expression darkened. Damn it. Why didn’t he think that this girl was so eye-catching and dazzling in the past? If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have agreed to hold an engagement banquet. If such a beautiful fiancée was targeted by someone else, he wouldn’t be able to make up for it!

Huo Xuan stood at the entrance and was instantly mesmerized by Mo Zhu’s beauty. He didn’t move at all and just watched blankly as the girl walked towards him step by step with her loosely hung dress.

He could no longer hear the surrounding noise and the crowd’s noisy whispers. His heart and ears were filled with the girl in front of him. The girl who was smiling and looking at him as she walked towards him firmly.

The air seemed to be filled with a faint floral fragrance. Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. Huo Xuan felt as if he was living in a dream, and for no reason, he felt like his surroundings were unreal.

It was only when Mo Zhu arrived in front of Huo Xuan and gently waved her hand to summon the man’s gaze back that she frowned slightly and pinched her brows. “What are you standing here for? Hurry up and go in.”

To be honest, Mo Zhu was really not used to being surrounded by so many people. Although so many of her lackeys had listened to her arrangements and instructions in fear and trepidation in the past, this was the first time she was dressed like this in front of everyone. She was not really used to it.

She looked up at Huo Xuan, who had been silent the entire time. Mo Zhu’s eyes also quietly lit up. For the engagement banquet tonight, Huo Xuan had also listened to Chen Man’s arrangements and specially changed into a suit that matched Mo Zhu’s pure white dress.

The color of the cuffs and bow tie was very suitable for the man, they made Huo Xuan look powerful, elegant, and noble. In addition, with the man’s handsome looks after the poison was controlled, he looked just like a rich young master.

Mo Zhu smacked her lips quietly as she sighed with emotion at Huo Xuan’s outfit today. Although she knew that the man was good looking, she didn’t expect him to be so handsome after just a little dressing up. Being able to pass her test, he was indeed worthy to be her man.

After looking at each other for a moment, Huo Xuan’s eyes darkened. Dark currents surged in his dark eyes. He took a step forward and hugged Mo Zhu. He used his shoulder to block the girl’s view of the people behind her. “You’re not allowed to wear such revealing clothes in the future! Do you hear me?”
