Mr And Mrs Huo

Chapter 7

Yu Yuan watched as some young ladies adjusted their appearances, holding slight hopes that they would catch his attention. Even the men paid more attention to their appearances. They didn't want to fall behind too much when they were compared to Huo Wei.

Suddenly the whole hall quieted.

Huo Wei had appeared.

Yu Yuan finally saw the appearance of the famed Patriarch Huo.

She was stunned.

His entire being radiated a cold aura, but his face was stunningly beautiful. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His was like the finest jade sculpted in the hands of a divine artist, perfectly proportioned.

All of these were elegantly wrapped up in the vintage black suit he wore, but his eyes were like glaciers with no trace of humanity.

He had the presence of a demon king. At his arrival, the already large hall seemed to have grown smaller. Even Patriarch Ji, that was next to him, was suppressed. Every other person had been made a backdrop.

For a moment, no one spoke until Patriarch Ji led him away. This might be his birthday banquet, but Huo Wei carried more weight than most people knew and naturally was more important at the moment.

After he heard that Huo Wei was coming, he prepared to host him in a private room away from the rest of the banquet, leaving his sons to carry on.

As soon as the last sight of Huo Wei disappeared, the entire hall burst into loud whispers.

"Heavens!" a lady drooled. "I heard he was good-looking, but I didn't know how much until now."

"I almost couldn't breathe watching him," her friend added.

"If only he had looked at me."

A man who overheard their conversation interjected, "Stop dreaming. There has been no woman by his side since he took over the Huo family, and the ones who schemed to climb his bed all met bad endings. There are even rumors that he might be gay."

"That's a lie! How can someone as handsome be gay?" the lady protested.

"Even though the rumors can't be verified, you should be careful. He's more ruthless than he's good-looking."

Similar conversations were going on around the hall. After the initial surprise, Yu Yuan was calm. She thought Huo Wei would be the protagonist if this was a book. Like all those CEOs, he was rich, powerful, handsome, and ruthless.

She also felt the ladies who wanted to be Mrs. Huo were naive. The person she just saw was cold, and his eyes didn't seem to hold much interest in the outside world.

An ordinary woman couldn't carry a relationship with him. If any of them was unfortunate enough to marry him, she would wither like a flower and still go unnoticed. Such a man wasn't an ideal spouse, but...

Yu Yuan gazed at the glass of wine in her hand with lidded eyes, her thoughts unknown.

After the people had settled down, the banquet continued, but Yu Yuan had no interest in staying at the hall, so she wandered off to the balcony.

Surprisingly she wasn't the first person there. Su Rong stood on the balcony gazing at the flowers in the garden below. She had changed out of her former dress to another one in the same color.

Noticing she was no longer alone, she turned around and locked eyes with Yu Yuan.

"Miss Yu is here."
Yu Yuan nodded at her in greeting and moved closer to admire the exotic flowers. After a moment of silence, Su Rong spoke. "Does Miss Yu think I'm vicious?"
