Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Huo Bingxuan Causes Trouble for An Nan
Next moment, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Jiayou, how about going fishing with Grandpa tomorrow? You could also invite your Great-Grandpa along."
"Sure, Grandpa, I haven’t gone fishing before!"
"Then Grandpa will teach you, how’s that?"
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Watching the exchange between the grandfather and grandson, some fathers with sons about the same age as Young Master Lin started to shoot cold, sideways glances at their own sons, including Xi Shaoqi and Zhao Tianchen. As for the others who had girlfriends, their families pushed them to get married soon.
Through the crowd, Xi Shaoqi and Zhao Tianchen, the ones whose irritation was being taken out on, cast an angry gaze at Young Master Lin, who was full of vigor.
"Hmph, shameless bastard, you’re happy yourself, fine, but why drag us into it?"
"Exactly, exactly, shameless manipulative guy," Zhao Tianchen said with gritted teeth.
His head had just been sore from being knocked by his old man.
An Nan’s facial expression had stiffened as she arrived, she realized for the first time, even smiling could feel so tearful.
Seeing her fatigue, Lin Mubai looked sympathetic, "Wife, do you want to take a break?"
The other party slowly shook her head, "I’m fine."
"Are your feet hurting?"
"Mm, a bit." Actually, it was much more than a bit; she could almost feel like her feet weren’t hers anymore. But she wasn’t the type to complain to men, so she just brushed it off in a single sentence.
She didn’t say it, but Lin Mubai felt it deeply heart, immediately promising in An Nan’s ear; "Wife, I’ll give you a proper massage when we get home tonight."
"Mm, okay."
Just then, the sound of the host’s voice grabbed everyone’s attention simultaneously.
"Next, let’s welcome Miss Huo Bingxuan from Huo Group for a wonderful piano performance."
As the host’s voice fell, the lights around quickly dimmed, a spotlight shone on the left of the stage, unbeknownst to when a white piano had appeared, and sitting in front of the piano was Huo Bingxuan, wearing a white dress as well. At this moment, she looked like a princess stepping out from a fairy tale, elegantly seated at the piano. Soon, the air in the large banquet hall filled with melodious piano sounds.
After the performance, applause filled the hall.
Huo Bingxuan stood in the center of the stage, feeling somewhat guilty as she enjoyed being the focus of attention. Meanwhile, a strange glint appeared in her eyes as she moved toward the microphone on stage, saying, "My performance just now was to congratulate Young Master Lin on becoming the new president of Lin Group."
"Thank you, Miss Huo," Lin Mubai’s voice remained cold as usual, without any unnecessary emotion.
This made the person still standing on stage show a flash of hurt in her eyes, but Huo Bingxuan concealed it well. She was standing on stage, continuing to speak with a smile, "Today, I am very honored to see Young Master Lin’s girlfriend again. I have heard that besides being good at work, Miss An is also an excellent pianist. Would you like to perform a piece today to congratulate your boyfriend properly?"
The person on stage was doing it on purpose, and how could An Nan not see it?
With one hand calming down the man’s anger beside her, she raised her beautiful chin slightly, her black eyes met the glance of the person on stage, and she said with a gentle smile, "I’m not sure where Miss Huo heard I could play the piano, but I do want to play a piece for my boyfriend today."
