The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

266 Public Display Of Affection

He Wei was extremely disgusted with him, but for the sake of her revenge on He Miao in the future, she could only hold back her emotions for the time being. She used the seductiveness she used to hate the most and gently held the man’s arm. President Ren, how could I forget you? I was just looking for you.

“Is that so?” Ren Zhong lifted her thin chin with his finger delightedly. He could not help but want to lower his head and kiss her. However, he still cared about his image. He raised his eyes and slowly looked away, sweeping his gaze in the direction He Wei had been looking at.

The moment he looked over, He Wei’s hands nervously clenched into fists.

As expected, the moment Ren Zhong saw Jing Yan, his originally smiling face instantly turned angry. He retracted his gaze and glared at He Wei. He was so jealous that he wanted to dig out her eyes so that she could only remember his face in the future.

Ren Zhong took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He then retracted his hand and left with a gloomy expression.

He could not bear to blame her or punish her.

After the man left, He Wei heaved a sigh of relief. On one hand, she was afraid that Ren Zhong would see Jing Yan and know what she was thinking. On the other hand, she was also worried that Ren Zhong would ignore her after seeing He Miao.

Even though she hated this man and everything he had done, she had to admit that Ren Zhong was the strongest person she could rely on at the moment.

She could not let Ren Zhong be bewitched by that vixen, He Miao.

When He Feng saw his daughter’s pale face, he felt guilty. Only when Ren Zhong walked away did he dare to go forward and softly persuade her, “Weiwei, why don’t we go back first? I’ve already met with a few business partners. Even if we leave now, it won’t affect the He family’s company.”

He Wei glanced at him coldly, then looked in He Miao’s direction. She left the party with He Feng reluctantly.

Out of the corner of her eye, He Miao noticed that the fierce glare from the corner had disappeared. She heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of the milk that Jing Yan handed her. Only then did hr gloomy mood finally improve.

Xia Yan had been paying attention to her expression. After seeing that they had left, she reminded her in a low voice, “The man who was close to He Wei just now is the current president of the Ren family, Ren Zhong. He’s a scheming and ruthless man. Some of the businesses under him can’t even be exposed. You must be extremely careful in the future.”

He Miao could tell that this man was not an ordinary good-for-nothing just by looking at how he had openly brought the father and daughter of the He family to attend the banquet. She could not help but look at Jing Yan worriedly. “I’m afraid I’ll cause you trouble in the future.”

For He Wei to be with such a person, it definitely was not as simple as attending a party. There must be other intentions behind it.

Whether the He family was trying to develop the company or to target her, they could not avoid bringing trouble to Jing Yan, which she felt guilty about.

Jing Yan, on the other hand, smiled nonchalantly. He reached out to wipe the milk stains on her lips and gently teased her, “Is your boyfriend so useless? If I can’t even protect you, how can I inherit the family business and be the head of the Jing family?”

The fingertips by her lips were slightly cold, but they carried a tenderness that could not be ignored.

He Miao was relieved, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

Xia Yan looked at the two of them in envy and suddenly thought of the person she had been hiding in her heart for many years. She could not help but look at the center of the party with her heart racing.

That person would definitely appear at such an important gala.

He Chen sat in his wheelchair and stared gloomily at the person in front of him who was trying to please him. Finally, his patience ran out and he waved his hand to the butler to chase the person away.

The butler had been with him for many years and could easily understand what he meant with a simple look. Without him saying it, he took the initiative to apologize to the people around him who were still flattering He Chen. “I’m sorry, my master is not in good health now and needs to rest at the side. You can come back to talk to my master later.”

The people around him looked at He Chen’s legs that were completely unable to stand up and suddenly realized that the big boss who could do anything in the business world might not be able to return to his peak. Hence, they stopped pestering He Chen.

He Chen finally broke away from the crowd and took some red wine from a housekeeper. His gaze involuntarily swept across everyone in the room. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure walking out from the resting room. The anticipation in his eyes faded, leaving only an endless gloominess.

Yeh Luo waited obediently at the side for He Chen to finish his business. Then, she walked over and curtsied in front of him. She showed him the gown she had personally designed. “Uncle He, do I look good in this?”

Yeh Luo’s dress was meticulously designed according to the designer. That woman was He Chen’s long-time lover. If she dressed up to look more like that woman, she should be able to make He Chen’s gaze linger on her for a little longer.
