Chapter 365: Chapter 369: Chengxi

Author: Gu Rong Rong Machine Translation

"Ruochu, the design of your dress is so explosive. I don't think it suits you." She smiled at Huo Nanchen. "What do you think?"

Ning Tangxi's words sounded friendly, but she was indirectly accusing Gu Ruochu of seducing men with her naked body.

Huo Nanchen's gaze fell on Gu Ruochu's back. She looked beautiful in the dress, but he did not want others to see this side of her.

Gu Ruochu put down her wine glass. "Miss Ning, did you transmigrate from the Qing Dynasty?"

Ning Tangxi ignored Gu Ruochu's jibe. "I was just making a suggestion. Why are you so serious?"

Yang Xi, who was standing by Gu Ruochu's side, interrupted Ning Tangxi with a cold smile. "Ruochu. Isn't the Qing Dynasty dead? Some people behave like mummies. Why don't you wrap your little feet before blaming Ruochu! No one likes to seduce men more than you, you vixen!"

Ning Tangxi's expression turned ugly. She looked at Gu Ruochu when she heard the last sentence. "Mrs. Huo, did you teach her this?"

"All you did was bully Ruochu by pretending to be honest. What kind of person are you? You're so lowly that you don't even look like a human," Yang Xi scoffed.

Yang Xi's words made Gu Ruochu blush.

Ning Tangxi was angry, and her breathing became heavier. "Nanchen, why is your wife's friend twisting our relationship? Calling me a vixen is a little too vicious, isn't it?"

Gu Ruochu motioned for Yang Xi to stop talking and replied to Ning Tangxi calmly, "Only if it were true would someone be so angry and exasperated. Miss Ning should know better."

Huo Nanchen did not interfere, and a smile flashed across his face.

When Ning Tangxi saw that everyone was ignoring her, she calmed down.

Soon, a few business partners to the Huo Corporation arrived. Huo Nanchen brought Gu Ruochu along to greet them.

The party was almost over when Ning Tangxi suddenly rushed towards them. "Huo Nanchen, Cheng Xi fell off the bed and injured his arm."

"What's going on? Didn't you leave someone to watch him?" Huo Nanchen's aura was terrifying. Gu Ruochu thought he was about to strangle Ning Tangxi.

"I told you to look after him at the hospital! What are you doing here?"

"I didn't think there would be another accident..."

Huo Nanchen was so angry that Gu Ruochu could see the veins popping out of his clenched fists.

He turned around and his gaze towards Gu Ruochu turned gentle again. He sighed softly, "You should hold the fort here for a while. I'll rush back as soon as possible."

He looked at her longingly.

Gu Ruochu's heart clenched. She felt as if she had been soaked in cold water.

Huo Nanchen turned around and left. Gu Ruochu stood rooted to the spot and stared at him until his figure disappeared from her sight. The people around her felt a little awkward. President Huo had abandoned his wife and left with another woman.

Gu Ruochu suddenly ran after him.

The atmosphere became even more uncomfortable. An Shaosi grabbed Yang Xi, who had almost chased after them, and said, "Don't get involved in their business."

"D*mn it! That woman wants to make Ruochu the laughingstock of the entire company. I'm going to f*cking chop that b*tch to death!"

An Shaosi looked at Yang Xi's angry expression. He reached out, tugged at the back of her collar, and said calmly, "I told you, they'll settle their own matters."

Gu Ruochu only realized that they had disappeared when she reached the exit. She could vaguely make out Ning Tangxi getting into Huo Nanchen's car, which drove off very quickly.
