When She Meixin heard her rude words, she gave a cold laugh and retorted, "So that’s how it is. No wonder he came looking for you."

"What do you mean?" Lily’s face immediately fell.

"Nothing." She Meixin was too lazy to care about Baihe’s livid face. She only lowered her head and said to She Yimeng, "Your dancing is awesome. Thank you for your invitation. Auntie will be taking my leave first."

With so many people talking, she didn’t dare to easily reveal her identity as the mother of a child, especially with Huo Jiu being present. She knew how much Huo Jiu didn’t want to admit that he had done something with her, and if she pissed him off, she completely believed he could do anything that would drive him crazy.

"Auntie, didn’t you just promise to dance with my dad? Why did you change your mind again? " He Yimeng looked up at She Meixin with an expectant expression. She was obedient enough to not expose She Meixin’s identity, but she had no intention of letting her go just like that.

When She Meixin heard this, she was dumbfounded. Since when did she agree to dance with Huo Jiu?

"Yimeng, be good. Didn’t you hear auntie say you were going to leave us alone?" Lily saw that She Yimeng liked He Meimeng so much, and was a little displeased. She grabbed her little hand and tried to persuade her with a smile.

"Daddy." She Yimeng glanced at Huo Jiabao and told him with her eyes that he wouldn’t have another chance.

"You’re not going to go back on your word in front of little kids, are you?" A sinister smile appeared on his face. Looking at She Meixin’s expression, which showed that she wished she could run away immediately, he felt a little unhappy in her heart. Did she really not want to be with him?

He ... What did he mean? You’re not really going to dance with her, are you?

"Aunt Baihe, I want to eat. Why don’t you accompany me to get it?" Seeing that her father had finally made a move, She Yimeng let out a sigh of relief. Then, she smiled at Lily like an angel that she could not resist.

Sure enough, Lily didn’t have the slightest resistance to her smile. Although she was a bit worried about Huo Yimeng’s family heirloom, she still led him to the food area.

"Please." At this moment, Huo Jiabao extended his hand towards the slightly dazed He Meixin and made a gesture of invitation.

Could she refuse? Oh heavens ...

No, she could not because refusal meant she had a guilty conscience.

She howled in her heart, and just like that, her small, trembling hand, like a fallen leaf in the wind, landed on Huo Jiu’s big hand. Along with her small hand, her heart began to tremble.

The two of them leisurely walked onto the dance floor, not noticing in the slightest that a cold beam of light was shooting towards them from behind.

She Meixin’s body stiffened, especially after Huo Jiu placed his hands on her waist.

"Are you nervous?" His tone was slightly teasing as he deliberately asked while looking at her blinking eyes.

"Where ..." Where is it? " She took a deep breath, pretending to be calm as she spoke. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she magnificently stomped on his shoes.

"What is it? "Even after staying with Wu Wei for so long, you still haven’t had the chance to show your face?" There was no change in the smile on his face, but his tone was sarcastic.

"You ... Why do you sound so bad? I... "It’s not like I intentionally stepped on your foot ..." The more she stuttered, the more nervous she became.

"It doesn’t matter. Look, my daughter seems to like watching us dance like this." He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at He Youmeng, who was standing to one side and eating, smiling foolishly at them.

She Meixin followed the direction he indicated with her eyes when she heard her words. Not only did she see her silly grin, she also noticed Lily and Wu Wei standing beside him. They seemed to be discussing something.

Damn it, would Wu Wei expose her identity?

At this thought, she quickly let go of Huo Jiko’s hand, pushed him away, and ran down the dance floor.

As soon as he walked up to them, he saw Lily, who was previously smiling with her hands covering her mouth, stop smiling and turn to Wu Wei. "It seems that your girlfriend doesn’t like you staying with other women for too long."

Wu Wei smiled when he heard this.

From the way they spoke, it seemed as if Wu Wei didn’t want Baihe to reveal her true identity. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have mistaken her for Wu Wei’s girlfriend.

An awkward smile appeared on her face as she turned around to look at Huo Jianji, who had been pushed away by her. Her heart trembled violently as she walked over with a frosty face.

"Then... That... I, I feel a little dizzy, I... Shall we go home? " Thirty-six strategies were just a trick. At this point in time, She Meixin did not have the courage to face Huo Jianji anymore. She felt that she could go insane at any moment.

Wu Wei looked at Huo Jianji who was walking towards them and nodded in understanding. He said, "If that’s the case, then let’s go. Let’s go greet Master together."

"Alright, let’s go." Nodding, she urged in a small voice.

Wu Wei nodded apologetically at Baihe, then pulled He Meixin by the hand and walked to the side.

When Huo Jiabao walked over, his expression was extremely cold as he saw He Meixin and Wu Wei’s departing backs.

"Jiajia, you haven’t danced with me tonight. Let’s go dance." Lily noticed that Huo Jiuzi’s emotions were a bit off, so she quickly tried to curry favor with him.

"Do you think I want to dance?" He took the wine cup from her hand and gulped down the wine as he spoke with an unfriendly tone.

At this moment, a man coincidentally walked over and invited her to dance with him. She was feeling depressed, because she was happy that someone had come to invite her, and most importantly, she could let Huo Jianji know that he wasn’t the only man in this world.

After the two of them stepped onto the dance floor, He Yimeng asked Huo Jiabao with his chubby little face, "Daddy, why did you finish your dance so quickly?"

"Child, where did all these questions come from?" He impatiently took a cup of wine from a passing waiter and gulped it down. He was still brooding over how He Mei had abruptly pushed aside that matter.

When She Meixin left the venue, her heart was still in turmoil. Wu Wei, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face as he held onto the steering wheel.

"You’re still scared of him." His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a teasing tone as he gently said this.

"Ugh ..." Was she that obvious?

But the look he gave her back was, yes, so obvious.
