Bab 256: You Must Believe Me (4)

Amidst the grandeur and splendor of the wealthy elites, Gu Nianzhi had eyes for Huo Shaoheng alone. He reached out to smooth the long hair flowing down to her waist.

Gu Nianzhi blushed, but then suddenly sensed something and looked up across the hall to see He Zhichu's tall figure among the crowd.

In that moment, He Zhichu's dark eyes suddenly filled with warmth. He smiled at her, then whispered into the Prime Minister's ear before heading over to her.

Dou Haoyan, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, began greeting all the guests present.

A melodious serenade echoed in the living room and the guests clustered in small groups, carrying wine glasses and plates of food. They enjoyed the food and drink, as well as the company that made for a lively atmosphere.

Dou Qingyan saw Huo Shaoheng as soon as she entered the room. Even though six years had passed since she had decided to let go of him, her eyes welled up with tears at the sight of his face.
