It was Adrian and his fiancée Monica who came.
Adrian was extremely enthusiastic.
"Hey, Huo, is this the girlfriend who got lost?" Adrian greeted them with a string of fluent Chinese.
Without waiting for Huo Linsheng to answer, he leaned towards Ling Nuan and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, beautiful lady. I'm Adrian, a friend of Huo's."
Well, the words were quite normal.
But at this moment, Ling Nuan was still facing Huo Linsheng, straddling his lap. Was this really an appropriate moment to say hello?
Ling Nuan struggled to get up, but Huo Linsheng didn't let go.
"Huo Linsheng," Ling Nuan whispered, trying to remind him as he refused to release his grip.
Huo Linsheng stared coldly at Adrian and asked, "Blind after just a few days?"
Adrian didn't mind Huo Linsheng's cold remarks at all. Instead, he turned to his fiancée and complained, "See? I told you Huo has a sharp tongue!"
Monica playfully slapped Adrian and then apologized to Ling Nuan, saying, "Sorry, we haven't entertained you well."
Monica also deliberately spoke in Chinese, though not as fluently. But it didn't prevent them from communicating with each other.
Ling Nuan smiled at them and secretly pinched Huo Linsheng.
Huo Linsheng glanced at Ling Nuan helplessly. He knew their private time was completely over, so he gave in and released Ling Nuan.
As soon as he let go, Ling Nuan immediately climbed off his lap, stood up, and extended her hand to Monica. "Hello, I'm Ling Nuan. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding in advance."
Instead of shaking Ling Nuan's hand, Monica warmly hugged her. "Thank you, dear, for your blessing."
Ling Nuan was slightly stunned. It was obvious that this engaged couple was extremely enthusiastic.
Huo Linsheng and Adrian were good friends. So after they came over, they huddled together in a corner and started chatting.
Adrian was particularly interested in Huo Linsheng's love life.
"Ling Nuan, what's Huo like when he's in a relationship? Is he also sarcastic to you? Can you tolerate his personality?" Adrian was full of curiosity about everything.
At first, Ling Nuan answered with a smile.
"Sometimes he does say things that are a bit... hurtful, but generally speaking, he's quite easy to communicate with."
"I think his personality is actually quite nice."
Her answers were somewhat polite and official, but also contained some of her true feelings.
Of course, Adrian wasn't only interested in these things.
As the conversation went on, it gradually turned into -
"Ling Nuan, what do you think of Huo's skills?"
Ling Nuan: "?"
Which skill was he referring to? Was it the one she was thinking of?
Before Ling Nuan could answer, Monica couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Adrian. "Shut up!"
Adrian looked at his fiancée sheepishly and made a zipping motion over his mouth.
Knowing Adrian's outspoken nature, Monica simply took Ling Nuan's hand and invited her. "Do you want to come and play with my friends?"
Ling Nuan didn't answer immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Huo Linsheng first.
Since she was unfamiliar with this place and these were Huo Linsheng's friends, it was natural for her to ask for his opinion.
Huo Linsheng nodded slightly. "Go ahead." Then he added, asking Monica for a favor, "Please take good care of her."
Monica gave Huo Linsheng a thumbs - up. "I'll definitely take good care of such a beautiful lady!"
Ling Nuan was led away to play. In the booth, only Huo Linsheng and Adrian were left. Adrian didn't run out to play either. Instead, the two of them hid in the corner, drinking and chatting.
This was quite normal for them.
Although they were here to have fun, they all came from wealthy families. When they chatted, it was mostly about work.
Huo Linsheng used to do this all the time, but today, he felt a bit off.
Wasn't he here to have fun with Ling Nuan?
Why did he still have to listen to someone talk about work?
Especially when the person was getting married tomorrow.
For the first time, Huo Linsheng thought it was better not to talk about work during private time, otherwise, he wouldn't feel good!
Adrian didn't notice Huo Linsheng's mood at all. He got so excited while chatting that if it weren't for his wedding the next day, he would even have wanted to have a long - night conversation with Huo Linsheng.
Huo Linsheng: "..."
He firmly declined.
Unlike the work - chatting atmosphere here, Ling Nuan seemed to really be here to relax.
Monica introduced Ling Nuan to her friends. Most of her friends were from Italy. Although Ling Nuan couldn't understand their language, they could communicate in English. Monica also remembered Huo Linsheng's instructions. Whenever Ling Nuan didn't understand something, she would explain it to her in Chinese again.
The beautiful girls got along well with each other.
They danced together and played some small games.
They chatted about topics that girls liked, such as beauty and wedding dresses, and also talked about which men at the party were handsome.
Huo Linsheng received a high number of votes from the beautiful girls present.
"Ling Nuan, your Huo is amazing," Monica gave Ling Nuan a thumbs - up.
A girl quickly leaned over curiously and asked her, "How's your boyfriend's skills?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
Why did everyone like to ask this question?
She really couldn't handle such enthusiasm.
Fortunately, the girls didn't really need an answer. Before Ling Nuan could reply, the other girls had already started chatting about their ex - boyfriends and Monica's wedding the next day.
As the party was coming to an end, Monica took out her phone, put her arm around Ling Nuan, and said, "Nuan Nuan, let's take a photo together!"
Ling Nuan naturally didn't refuse.
The girls got together for selfies.
There were group photos of all of them, photos of Monica and Ling Nuan, and many photos of other girls with Ling Nuan.
Considering there was a wedding the next day, they didn't play too late. Around twelve o'clock, the party ended.
Ling Nuan left with Huo Linsheng.
Monica and her bridesmaids went to the hotel. On the way, she carefully selected the photos taken that night and posted them on Instagram.
Monica was a well - known socialite on Instagram and had a large number of followers. As soon as she posted the photos with the theme of her pre - wedding bachelorette party, they became very popular.
Soon, someone reposted the photos to China.
Before Ling Nuan even knew about it, Huo Xiao swiped through his phone and saw Monica's Instagram post, along with the photos of other socialites with Ling Nuan.
Monica really liked Ling Nuan and even mentioned Ling Nuan's name on Instagram. "My new friend, the beautiful Miss Ling Nuan."
Huo Xiao: "..."
Huo Xiao was almost furious!
