Gu Anjin was spacing out when a figure suddenly crashed into her field of vision.

Yue Siqing had just come in, his expression stern and severe, his aura seemingly crushing everyone in an instant.

Someone at his side, she didn’t know who, leaned in and whispered a few words by his ear.

Then he lifted his eyes, and his gaze suddenly swept over in Gu Anjin’s direction.

Their eyes met in midair, and Gu Anjin looked heavily toward him.

Someone else went up to report something to him again—could it be that here too, she was under his surveillance?

Had they told him everything she’d just done here?

Gu Anjin bit her lip, for a moment not even sure what she was feeling inside.

When she saw Yue Siqing walking this way, her heart suddenly lurched in panic.

Huo Xun!

Why was Huo Xun still here!

Her gaze shifted to the rakish man beside her; not only did he show no sense of crisis, he even leisurely took a glass of wine from a passing waiter.

"You..." Even leaving Huo Xun aside, Gu Anjin’s heartbeat had grown taut with nerves.

She didn’t even know why, but at this moment she kind of didn’t want Yue Siqing to discover Huo Xun.

Maybe it was because she knew him so well; maybe it was because the two of them knew each other.

If Yue Siqing recognized him the moment he saw him, then what?

She realized that deep down she already believed it—believed that she could get answers from Huo Xun.

So she didn’t want anything to happen to this man before she got those answers.

Especially if what Huo Xun said was true.

Then no matter what, Yue Siqing would never let her know the reason, and naturally he wouldn’t leave this man alive.

"Why are you still here?" Gu Anjin quietly reminded in a low voice, but because Yue Siqing’s steps were fast, she had no way to say more for the moment, afraid her words would be overheard by Yue Siqing.

"Hm?" Huo Xun still looked unhurried, even raising his glass to her with an elegant air. "Miss Gu, how about I drink to you?"

Gu Anjin: "..."

What on earth was he playing at.

Only at this point it was already too late.

Just as she was tensing up, Huo Xun’s eyes curved in a faint smile and he dipped his head slightly.

A very small movement and look, landing on her just right.

He wasn’t afraid!

Gu Anjin’s heart eased a little.

Suddenly it struck her as a bit ridiculous that for this reason, she had actually chosen to hide things from Yue Siqing and temporarily help this man conceal himself.

But she had to get to the bottom of this, and she also had to figure out what kind of grudge there was between Huo Xun and Yue Siqing.

"Brother Siqing." Seeing Yue Siqing come over, Gu Anjin greeted him with a淡淡的 title.

Huo Xun not only didn’t avoid him, he even turned around with a smile on his face.

The two men were equally tall; he was the first to smile and extend his hand. "Miss Gu, so this is the Mr. Yue you were just talking about."

Yue Siqing glanced at Huo Xun and reached out his hand. "And you are?"

"My Chinese name is Qin Shen." Huo Xun withdrew his hand and spoke unhurriedly. "It’s rare to see someone of Chinese descent here. But because my father is John Murphy, people here usually like to give me my father’s surname."

"Mr. Murphy’s son." Yue Siqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Huo Xun shrugged. "Of course, everyone knows he’s not my biological father. I prefer people to call me by my Chinese name, just like I said to Miss Gu earlier."

Yue Siqing glanced at Gu Anjin; her complexion didn’t look very good, and she didn’t have that fake good mood she’d put on that morning.

"Sorry, I just arrived in London not long ago, so I’m not very familiar with the people here."
