“CEO, I don’t know how to dance.” Qiao An decided to hold back. She had already deeply experienced the notion of “the capable do more”. She didn’t want to be further exploited.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her faintly, his eyes emitting a mocking sneer. “That’s even better. With you as my partner, my clumsy dancing skills won’t be a joke.”

Qiao An was speechless.

Then, she had an idea. She suddenly thought of a brilliant idea to reject the CEO.

“CEO, will your fiancée be jealous if I dance with you?” Qiao An looked at him brightly.

Huo Xiaoran saw the gloating look in Qiao An’s eyes and made up his mind. “My girlfriend’s health isn’t good, so it’s not appropriate for her to attend the various gatherings. Therefore, I can only leave such socializing to you, my assistant.”

In poor health?

Wasn’t Lu Mo in good health?

Qiao An cursed inwardly.

Huo Xiaoran paused for a moment before saying, “Don’t worry, she won’t be jealous of you. She knows that I won’t fall for other women.”

Qiao An whispered, “A man’s mouth is only capable of lying.”

Huo Xiaoran still listened to her and narrowed her eagle eyes. “Why? Have you been deceived by a man before?”

Qiao An nodded pitifully. “Yes. When I was young, I didn’t have good taste. I got involved with two men in a row. They were both scum.”

......

Huo Xiaoran expressed his sympathy. “Then you should go to the hospital to take a look at your eyes.”

Qiao An’s lips twitched. How could this guy have the cheek to ask her to get her eyes checked? Shouldn’t he, the scumbag, be the one to see the reproductive department?

She had to bow his head.

Qiao An had to accept the fact that she would be attending the banquet that evening.

In order to make things difficult for Huo Xiaoran, Qiao An immediately leaked the news of her and the CEO attending the ball.

In the evening, when Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran were about to set off, Huo Xiaoran’s official girlfriend, Lu Mo, arrived at the company.

She was wearing a grand gown with a bun, revealing her snow-white swan neck. She looked very noble.

Her motive for looking for Huo Xiaoran was too obvious. She wanted to attend the banquet and stand by his side to become the target of envy.

“Senior, I heard that you have a party tonight. I want to accompany you. Can I be your dance partner?” Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran with a smile. Her voice was crisp and soft, like a blooming flower.

She glanced at the assistant beside Huo Xiaoran and saw her dark skin and conservative white lace dress. A determined smile appeared on her face.

She was very confident that Huo Xiaoran would definitely give up on his assistant and choose her as his dance partner.

However, Huo Xiaoran rejected her. “Momo, you’re not in good health and can’t tire yourself out. Hurry up and go home.”

Lu Mo’s smile disappeared bit by bit, and her skin lost color inch by inch.

She really didn’t expect that three years ago, when she had lied about her cancer and got Huo Xiaoran, she also got herself into trouble. Huo Xiaoran always refused to let her participate in all his activities because she was sick.

“Senior, my condition has been very stable recently. Let me go with you…”

“Go back.” Huo Xiaoran’s voice was very soft, but it was very intimidating.

Lu Mo instantly fell silent, not daring to disobey Huo Xiaoran’s orders.

Qiao An looked at the couple. Lu Mo’s humility and Huo Xiaoran’s arrogance made her feel awkward.

She was also glad that she finally saw Huo Xiaoran’s true colors and didn’t fall into his superficial show.

Lu Mo came confidently. After being rejected by Huo Xiaoran, she felt very embarrassed. She immediately vented her anger on the assistant. She glared at Qiao An fiercely for a long time, and she actually noticed something.

This assistant looked a little similar to Qiao An.

She stared at Qiao An in shock. “You’re…”

Qiao An was shocked. Did Lu Mo recognize her?

That shouldn’t be the case. She had disguised herself before, so Lu Mo shouldn’t have recognized her.

“You’re Qiao An?” Lu Mo’s eyes were filled with panic and nervousness.

She could guess who Qiao An was because she knew that the car accident three years ago had injured her in the head and face. There was a good chance that she had gone for plastic surgery.

Qiao An quickly waved his hand. “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Qiao An. I’m Chen Sisi.”

Hearing her slightly hoarse voice, Lu Mo’s suspicion faded slightly.

However, because of Lu Mo’s suspicion, Huo Xiaoran paid special attention to Qiao An.

His hawk-like gaze landed on her face, and he was lost for a moment.

Could she be Qiao An?

But why would Qiao An come to him of her own accord?

Regardless of whether Chen Sisi was Qiao An or not, Lu Mo still felt extremely terrified of Huo Xiaoran.

She was afraid that Huo Xiaoran, who loved Qiao An deeply, would transfer his burning love to this assistant who looked like Qiao An.

“Senior, did you keep her as your assistant because she looks like Qiao An?” Lu Mo asked aggrievedly.

Qiao An pursed her lips. Lu Mo was too jealous. If Huo Xiaoran liked Qiao An, he wouldn’t have ruthlessly tried to kill her three years ago.

Huo Xiaoran didn’t like Lu Mo’s pestering and said coldly, “It’s getting late. Momo, we should leave.” With that, he walked coldly towards the Rolls-Royce.

Qiao An gave Lu Mo an apologetic smile.

Lu Mo looked at Chen Sisi’s back that resembled Qiao An, and his heart sank.

She left in a panic.

At the gathering of the big shots, the smell of money was everywhere. There was high-end Lafite red wine, a gold-inlaid wine tower, and high-grade snacks. There were also luxurious clothes shuttling around. Successful men were holding hands with graceful beauties. They were resplendent and colorful.

When Huo Xiaoran brought Qiao An to the clubhouse, Qiao An saw such a luxurious scene and immediately understood why a fresh and insipid person like Huo Xiaoran would attend this banquet.

She thought he needed to take over these top dignitaries. She thought he needed to curry favor with these merchants.

She was a little afraid. In the commercial construction of the pyramid, a newcomer like Huo Xiaoran might not have established himself yet. He needed to please those nobles, so he had to drink with them.

And she had to bitterly shield him from the alcohol.

At this moment, someone happened to walk over. He was wearing well-cut clothes and an expensive watch. It was obvious that he was a rich and noble person.

Qiao An’s knees went weak with fear.

That person respectfully handed Huo Xiaoran a glass of red wine. “Xiaoran, here’s to you.”

Huo Xiaoran said bluntly, “I don’t drink. Let my assistant drink with you.”

Qiao An took the red wine with trembling hands, took a deep breath, then raised her neck and drank it all.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her incredulously.

Qiao An glared at him. She thought she was fighting for his career and didn’t understand why he was looking at her like that.
