Lu Chengwen was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Huo Yunting was, after all, an important figure. He froze for only an instant before immediately smiling. He did not rush to state his position, nor did he readily reveal his emotions or expose his thoughts. He merely looked at Lu Chengwen with a faint, ambiguous smile.
Huo Yunting's wife was clearly stunned. Holding her wineglass at the side, she looked in shock at her husband, then at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen was deeply embarrassed. He had no idea how to handle this situation.
Expose Huo Wenting? Obviously not. He could not trample all over Huo Wenting's dignity like that.
Admit it outright? Then what would happen next?
Many staff members nearby turned to look. Someone had clearly overheard the conversation. Even if they had not, it made little difference, because... rumors about Huo Wenting and Lu Chengwen had been spreading for quite some time.
Huo Yunting said, "Cheng Wen, come over here. Let's sit down and talk."
In an inner suite, a server brought over tea. Lu Chengwen and Huo Wenting sat side by side, while Huo Yunting and his wife sat opposite them.
Huo Yunting looked at Lu Chengwen and Huo Wenting. "When did this happen?"
Huo Wenting turned her head and naturally looped her arm through Lu Chengwen's, admiring the utterly frozen expression on his face. Smiling sweetly, she said:
"Cheng Wen, tell Dad."
Lu Chengwen wore a smile, one forcibly squeezed out by sheer muscle power.
Tell him my ass! Why drag me into your family's business!?
Lu Chengwen looked at Huo Yunting and his wife and began to stammer. "Uh... it... hasn't been that long... it's just..."
Huo Yunting asked, "How far have you two gone?"
Lu Chengwen hurriedly said, "We haven't really gone very far.
