“I see . ”
Mo Ning was not interested in that .
Yan Sinian felt the same .
“Young Master Junyu . ”
The butler arrived hastily to greet them . Huo Junyu pointed at the two people beside him and said, “They are my classmates . You don’t have to check them . ”
“Yes, sir . This way, please . ”
The three of them were led through a brightly lit corridor into the event hall, which was luxuriously renovated in a romantic style .
Dim lights and classical music set the atmosphere in the event hall . A sweet scent permeated through the air .
Young men and women in flashy suits and dresses clustered in groups and engaged in merry conversations .
When Mo Ning, Yan Sinian and Huo Junyu made their appearance, they drew the attention of everyone there .
Yan Sinian was in a form-fitting sky-blue tuxedo . He held himself like an aristocrat from medieval times, a respectable man of age .
Mo Ning was also in a light-coloured suit . Since it would be inappropriate for her to dress too maturely given her age, her suit was tailored to look more youthful .
Nevertheless, since she usually wore casual in university, matching a suit to her naturally handsome features made her look like a prince straight out of a fairytale book . She carried herself with grace and charm .
Huo Junyu, on the other hand…
Anyone important in the capital would recognize him, no matter what he wore .
“Look, that’s Lieutenant General Huo’s eldest son!”
“Who are the other two?”
“They are not commoners, that’s for sure . Just look at their charisma and how they dressed themselves . ”
The guests studied them with looks of curiosity, uncertainty and awe .
The young ladies were especially interested . No matter how much they were taught to act reserved, those three very different from equally perfect young men had attracted their attention .
Their eyes glowed eagerly on the three incoming guests .
As the commotion continued amongst the guests, Huo Run approached them steadily .
She was dressed grandly that night in a lavish long white dress and a matching thin veil of the same colour .
Like an angel descended from heaven, she looked beautiful and enchanting . The lightly applied makeup on her cheeks accentuated the smile on her face .
She looked at Mo Ning first with twinkling eyes . “You’re here . ”
“Yes . ”
Mo Ning nodded with a smile . She passed an ornate box to Huo Run and noticed that the latter was wearing a diamond hairpin that was a present from her . That made her smile even wider .
“It’s a present . You look beautiful tonight . ”
“Thank you . ”
Huo Run smiled courteously and accepted the gift . She then turned to Huo Junyu and Yan Sinian . “Uncle . ”
After a nod of acknowledgement from Huo Junyu, she looked at Yan Sinian .
The man was still smiling, but his eyes had turned a shade colder . Huo Run shuddered inside but greeted him with a forced smile, “Senior Yan, welcome . ”
For some reason, Yan Sinian always made her feel intimidated .
While she was impressed with his looks and bearing, she could not find herself liking him .
“Please have a seat,” Huo Run continued with affected confidence, “I shall come by again soon . ”
“Thank you . ”
The trio sat down in a corner and ignored the attention they were getting from the other guests .
Mo Ning whispered to Huo Junyu, “Are you not close with your niece?”
Huo Junyu had treated Huo Run coldly just like a stranger .
Besides, even though both were freshmen in Qinglin University the same year, they had not been speaking to each other .
