Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 856: Chapter 866: Backup Lover

Upon arriving at the venue for the cocktail party, Huo Shaohua was already waiting outside the door.

Seeing An Ran get out of the car, he walked over to greet her.

”Mr. An.”

”Vice President Huo, am I late?” An Ran observed that the venue was already bustling with people, the lights dazzling and glasses clinking, all attended by well-dressed successful individuals.

”Not at all.”

Huo Shaohua smiled indifferently; in reality, he had intentionally arranged for An Ran to arrive at this time. Although very few in Nan’an knew her identity, as a company executive, he had to consider the forces behind her—the sole shareholder of Wenshan Group and the Mu Family’s young mistress. Attending such a cocktail party meant she should not be the first to arrive.

”Mr. An, tonight’s dinner is just a small business party, so there’s no need for you to feel any pressure. Just go in and enjoy yourself. As for the other matters, you don’t need to concern yourself with them,” Huo Shaohua said as they walked inside.

As Wenshan Group’s top director, he had no reason to cater to anyone else.

An Ran nodded, understanding Huo Shaohua’s meaning, ”Vice President Huo, in what capacity am I attending the party tonight?”

Surely she couldn’t just come here to eat, drink, and have fun?

”Just say you came with me, and as for what others think, I’m afraid Mr. An will have to bear with it,” Huo Shaohua said somewhat helplessly.

Attending with Wenshan Group’s Vice President, in the eyes of outsiders, An Ran was Huo Shaohua’s companion.

An Ran was unconcerned and waved her hand, ”It’s no matter, besides, being Vice President Huo’s companion is sure to make many envious, hardly a grievance.”

At thirty-something, Huo Shaohua had become Vice President of Wenshan Group through real talent and learning, through his own capabilities.

Moreover, Huo Shaohua was extremely handsome and charismatic, exuding the warmth and erudition of a high-level intellectual, leaving a very comfortable first impression.

An Ran’s words were not exaggerated; getting attached to Wenshan Group is already difficult, and being Vice President Huo’s companion truly is fortunate.

Huo Shaohua smiled slightly, ”Mr. An really knows how to joke, please go ahead.”

Saying this, Huo Shaohua walked into the venue first, with An Ran and Xiao Xiao following closely behind.

In a corner of the venue, An Sijia clung to her mother’s arm, gazing admiringly at a man in the distance.

”Mom, look, over there is the Lu Family’s eldest young master.”

Sun Xuehui followed An Sijia’s gaze and saw not far away, a man in a moon-white formal outfit, the perfectly tailored suit accentuating his tall and slender stature.

His flawless features exuded a princely elegance with an aristocratic demeanor in every movement.

”He truly is a dragon among men,” Sun Xuehui marveled, ”Wasn’t it this man you said had a crush on that little tramp?”

She recalled that after the incident, An Sijia mentioned believing that it was the Lu Family’s eldest young master who had rescued An Ran, that little tramp.

”What’s the use of liking her? An Ran wouldn’t be interested in him anyway. She’s got solid backing now, enjoying the shade, and as for Lu Yi, just a backup option.”

She had seen with her own eyes that the man with An Ran had connections with Jiawen Entertainment’s CEO, and that man bought An Ran’s adoption agreement for two million, suggesting a deep background.

”What backing, enjoying the shade? I see that’s not certain. Don’t forget, that man is part of the Guard Team. Joining the Guard Team involves many conditions; achievements and dangers coexist, Jiajia, trust me, being a Guard Team family member isn’t easy.” She was An Sijia’s biological mother, she knew her daughter’s mind well.
