Huo Yelin and Zhao Yelin had just opened the door when a series of ribbons sprayed out from within the house. Laughing happily, everyone ran out from the corner. Little Dou and Lin Xiao took the lead and shouted, "Congratulations, Young Master Huo!"

As the ribbon and confetti fell onto their bodies, Huo Yelin's eyebrows creased. He looked at the ribbon in Lin Xiao's hand and did not laugh or say a word, he was like a log.

Lin Xiao grinned and went forward to take the credit, "How is it? "I've done pretty well with this part, haven't I? I've invited quite a few beauties over. It's all like this at the top and this at the bottom." As he spoke, he gestured, not noticing that Huo Yelin's face had turned darker and darker.

"Waa, so lively. What's that?" Zhao Yilin asked, pointing at the cabinet in front of them.

Huo Yelin could only swallow the words in his mouth when he saw her excited expression.

Lin Xiao was very pleased with herself as she introduced them one by one. "The magic box you are referring to, I have specially hired a magician to perform."

"Wow, where's that table?"

"Didn't you see that there was a steel pipe stuck in it? Of course it's for the dance?"

Zhao Yilin nodded in admiration. "Oh …" You're quite well-prepared. The magic show is for the girls to see, of course the steel pipe dance is for you boys to see? "

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled, not replying.

Huo Yelin noticed that Zhao Yelin wasn't bothered at all and went off to drink with the others. He frowned again and wanted to follow her. However, he was surrounded by people who came up to toast him, unable to move at all.

Zhao Yelin was very happy today, not only because Huo Yelin had left the hospital, but also because she had finally become a slave and sung by herself. She picked up a glass of wine, took a big gulp, and even started to hum softly.

"You can still sing such an old-fashioned song?" Lin Xiao walked over and clinked glasses with her.

"Cheers!" I can sing even older songs. We actors are so versatile. "

Lin Xiao laughed out loud. Compared to Zhao Yueran, he liked this daughter of his. Perhaps it was because she had grown up in the Zhao Family, but Zhao Yilin was very open-minded. She did not have the pretence of being a rich lady and being vain.

Oh, right. I've noticed that Ye Lin's personality has changed a lot. Normally, if I gave him a birthday party or something, his face would be as black as a bag man's. Although I didn't see him happy today, he would at least stand patiently and be surrounded by a group of people. It's not easy!

Zhao Yelin stuffed a piece of fruit cake into her mouth. When she turned around and saw that Huo Yelin was surrounded by people, she kept talking non-stop. She couldn't eat as well as she could, so she finally understood why he didn't like this kind of situation.

Lin Xiao glanced at her, and then calmly put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Tell me … Is it because of you that she... Changed? "

Zhao Yilin was stunned for a moment before she laughed and said, "How can that be? You've watched too many of your portraits." In Young Master Huo's eyes, I'm just a little servant that you can bully. "

Lin Xiao pressed his face closer to her and said, "Is that so? Then can I invite you to dance?" He wouldn't mind, would he? "

"Sure, I haven't danced for a long time. It won't be good if I dance later on, so don't laugh at me."

"Of course not."

Lin Xiao looked at Huo Yelin in the distance, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Huo Yelin was following Zhao Yelin out of the corner of his eyes as he chatted with the company's shareholders. She had been drinking, eating cake, going to the toilet, flirting with Lin Xiao, all of this had caught his eye.

The light in the living room suddenly dimmed, and the door of the magic box slowly opened. From inside came a man in a tuxedo and a black mask. The man who performed the magic act had a good figure, with a hooked nose and blue eyes. He looked like a foreigner. The girls gathered around Zhao Yilin, who was no exception. She was not curious about the man, but wanted to see his magic show.

The magician introduced himself in very proper English, and then the gentleman blew a kiss, causing the beauties in the audience to scream.

The magician said, "The magic I'm about to perform requires a lady to cooperate with me. Would anyone like to come up?"

The audience raised their hands. Zhao Yilin thought for a moment before raising her hand as well. However, the glass of wine in her hand was clearly visible under the spherical lighting.

As expected, the magician invited her to stand in front of him.

The magician was tall, and Zhao Yilin looked petite. Both of them stretched out their arms at the same time, and the magician covered them with a red cloth. With a snap of his fingers, the red cloth was removed, and the two of them changed places under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The audience immediately burst into warm applause.

Zhao Yilin was very excited to see Lin Xiao blinking at her. Lin Xiao gave her a big thumbs up to cheer her on.

When Huo Yelin looked up from a distance, he saw this scene. His face had turned completely black. He wanted to rush up to the stage and pull down Zhao Yilin, asking her what she was doing with Lin Xiao.

However, thinking back to what she had said in the car, she suppressed the restlessness.

After the magic show, a circle of light shone down from the center of the hall, followed by the sound of music. Those who liked to dance all put down their glasses and held hands as they walked into the light.

Lin Xiao sincerely extended his hand towards Zhao Yilin and asked, "Miss Zhao, can I invite you to dance?"

Zhao Yelin turned to look at Huo Yelin and saw him talking to two beautiful ladies. She felt a little lonely.

"I'm honored." Zhao Yilin smiled as she walked towards the dance floor, holding Lin Xiao's hand.

The dance was tender and romantic. The men and women on the dance floor were all hugging each other, their bodies gently swaying.

Although Lin Xiao was holding her hand and holding her waist in a very proper manner, Zhao Yilin didn't expect it to be such a flirtatious tune. She was very embarrassed by the dance.

Lin Xiao giggled, "Don't look at me like that. I'm a bit embarrassed. The tune will change in two minutes."

Zhao Yilin was amused by his teasing. Since it was awkward, they both began to spin.

At this moment, a tall figure, accompanied by a partner, swirled toward them.

Lin Xiao saw the person approaching and smiled evasively as he dodged with Zhao Yilin. He purposely chose an angle so that no matter how hard she turned, she would not be able to see the person behind her.

Huo Yelin puffed out his chest as he looked up. His dancing posture was extraordinary.

In front of so many guests, not only did he have to take good care of his partner, but he also had to snatch Zhao Yilin back without batting an eyelid.

Zhao Yilin felt something strange behind her. She turned around and was stopped by Lin Xiao, "Hey, how was my jump?"

"Very good."

"Compared to Huo Yelin?"

Zhao Yilin was a bit disappointed, but she shook her head and replied, "I don't know, I didn't jump in with him."

Lin Xiao said, "He's better than me in many ways, but he definitely can't dance me."

"Is that so?" Zhao Yelin did not expect Huo Yelin to be weaker than anyone else. "Then, what can't he compare to you in?" She wanted to get to know Huo Yelin more, but the meaning in Lin Xiao's ears was completely different.

Lin Xiao replied, "I'm more loyal than him. I'm gentler than him. I know how to love women more than he does."

Looking at his fake smile, Zhao Yelin suddenly felt that something was amiss. Weren't Lin Xiao and Huo Yelin good friends? Why did he speak so harshly?

He had been present during the engagement banquet and had also frequently visited Huo Yelin during his stay in the hospital. Even though he knew of her relationship with Huo Yelin, they had still been very close today.

"Lin Xiao, what do you mean by saying this?" Zhao Yilin asked tentatively.

"Nothing." Lin Xiao's attitude was still very gentle. "I just hope that you can look at him and at me at the same time. If he can't give you happiness, I can give it all to you."

"Aren't you and him good friends?" Zhao Yilin asked coldly.

"Yes."

"Then why did you say that?"

Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with grief. He had actually concealed his feelings well, but he let Zhao Yilin see through it. "Lin Xiao, you …"

Suddenly, the dance music changed. The hand Lin Xiao had placed on her waist tightened, and Zhao Yi Lin was pulled to the edge of the dance floor. She wanted to stop and have a good talk with Lin Xiao, but she didn't expect him to stubbornly hold onto her hand and bring her back onto the dance floor.

However, when Zhao Youlan saw that Huo Yelin had been standing by her side the entire time, they understood each other's intentions the moment their eyes met. Zhao Yilin's dancing skills were lacking, and she was unable to break free from Lin Xiao's control. If she were to fall down or force herself to stop, it would attract too much attention.

If that was possible, then Huo Yelin wouldn't have come to her rescue by dancing in such a roundabout way.

At this point, the dance was almost over. Lin Xiao's smile became more and more obvious, but she also seemed to be struggling.

Huo Yelin took a step forward and sent his partner out. At the same time, he grabbed Zhao Yelin's wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Before Zhao Yilin could steady herself, the song ended.

The surrounding people, who were watching the dance, were cheering and cheering. The previous scene of changing partners had seemed like an exciting performance to them, but to Zhao Yilin and the others, it was a thrilling performance.

Lin Xiao had wanted to do something during the dance, but was interrupted by Huo Yelin.

"Eli, are you alright?"

Zhao Yilin shook her head and turned back to look at Lin Xiao. He was still standing there, but the calmer he was, the more painful it felt to others.

With a sullen face, Huo Yelin walked towards him. Zhao Yelin shook his hand and said, "Speak properly, don't be impatient."

Huo Yelin glanced at her. The two brothers seemed to want to take Lin Xiao's shoulder and walk towards the second floor.

As the two entered the study, Huo Yelin turned on the lights and said, "Let's find a place to sit."

Lin Xiao stood in front of the desk and did not move. On the table, he saw a Lucky Cat that did not match Huo Yelin's temperament. It was a gift from him for the birthday the previous year.

He knocked the Maneki-Neko on the head and said, "Don't you like it? Back then, my face was extremely bad. Why did you put it on the table? "

Huo Yelin walked to the desk and sat down. "Because you were the one who gave it to me."

Lin Xiao burst out in laughter, "To be able to say such words, it seems like you have really changed."

Huo Yelin raised his head and looked at him coldly.

Lin Xiao had long since gotten used to his expression. She nodded and said, "Yes, this is you."

Huo Yelin said, "Cut the crap. Explain what happened today."

"There's nothing to explain. I've taken a fancy to your woman, that's all." Lin Xiao grabbed the Maneki-Neko by the neck and said, "Since you were young, you've always been riding on my head. It's time for you to come down and rest."

He suddenly grabbed the Lucky Cat and threw it to the ground. As if he had been prepared for this, Huo Yelin grabbed his wrist and pushed it back down.
