Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (3) (2/2)
Zuo Hancheng gently swirled the glass in his hand gracefully. He saw Anhao’s thirsty expression after eating the cake. It was not that there were no drinks on the table around her, but she kept staring at the champagne in the glasses on the table. She looked like she wanted to drink but was afraid that he would scold her and did not dare to drink.
Seeing that he seemed to be shaking the wine in his glass in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, Anhao immediately stared at the wine in his hand, then looked at him again and said with a smile,””Can you let me try this?”
Seeing the look in her eyes that showed that she wanted to try it, he knew that champagne was not something that could easily intoxicate people. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng would not be too strict on such an occasion.
Coincidentally, a Waiter passed by with a tray of wine glasses. Zuo Hancheng turned around and casually picked up a glass and handed it to Anhao.
Anhao took the glass with a flattered expression. She imitated Zuo Hancheng’s actions and swirled the wine in the glass. She watched as the wine slowly swirled on the glass wall and happily raised the glass to clink it with the glass in in his hand.”Cheers~”
Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and clinked glasses with her. He only raised his eyebrows when Anhao finished her glass of champagne. He was laughing at her taste and impatience.
However, today’s event was obviously not the kind that Anhao thought would end with a casual cake, drink some wine, and dance. The so-called business and political joint charity event was naturally called charity, but it was a gathering place for high-level people from both the business and political worlds.
It was a place for companies and politicians to talk about cooperation, business, and friendship. Naturally, there were also socialites or successful women who wanted to find a good husband.
Just now, Anhao had already witnessed Zuo Hancheng’s popularity.
She had just turned around to go to the washroom. She had just turned around and walked a few steps when she saw a few young women approaching Zuo Hancheng.
Tsk, tsk. It’s not a good thing that my husband is too popular. I can’t even be at ease when I go to the bathroom.
Although Anhao and Zuo Hancheng’s marriage did not seem to be real, she was still his wife. She could not really let those women seduce her husband.
Hence, Anhao hurriedly went to the washroom and came out, intending to save her husband again.
Just as she walked out of the washroom and was about to walk to the other side, she suddenly saw Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi walking down the stairs from the second floor.
She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked away to avoid bumping into the mother and daughter.
She had noticed that not many people from the Gu family came today.
Although Gu Tianming was the mayor, it was said that he had gone to Beijing for a meeting these few days and was not in A City. He probably did not have the chance to attend such an event tonight, so he should have expected Gu Shishi and her daughter to come tonight.
In order not to bump into the mother and daughter, Anhao changed her route.
With her back facing that direction, she walked into the crowd from the other corner. As she was about to walk through the crowd in Zuo Hancheng’s direction, she saw a few people standing together and seemed to be talking about something. She went forward and said softly, “I’m sorry, please make way.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her seemed to be stunned. The moment he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with shock. “Anhao?”
Anhao suddenly looked up. When she saw Yi Wei clearly, her face froze. After a long time, she finally found her voice.”Uncle Yi…”
She hadn’t seen Yi Wei for more than five years. Ever since he chased her and her mother out of the Yi family and divorced her mother, Anhao had never thought that she would see him again..
