Chapter 721 Too Cold
Li Chuyue heard Ou Jinghuan tell her to tell him who bullied her and that she didn't need to endure it.
A slight smile played on her lips, and without a second thought, she punched Ou Jinghuan with considerable force.
Her punch directly told Ou Jinghuan that the person who angered her was Ou Jinghuan himself.
Finally, Li Chuyue said that she had vented her anger, which also meant that she had taught Ou Jinghuan a lesson for the people who had bullied her.
Upon hearing this, Ou Jinghuan was puzzled, wondering what could have made Li Chuyue angry with him.
But his first reaction was to feel sorry for Li Chuyue, who must have hurt her hand from punching so hard.
Without saying a word, and ignoring the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, he immediately began to gently blow on Li Chuyue's reddened joints.
Li Chuyue never expected that Ou Jinghuan would abandon his previous aloof persona in public and actually lower his head to blow on her hand.
She thought that even if Ou Jinghuan didn't care whether everyone was shocked, he should at least consider her!
I didn't see her... her face was all red from the wind!
Therefore, Li Chuyue hurriedly withdrew her hand and reminded Ou Jinghuan to be mindful of the occasion.
But Ou Jinghuan's heart was entirely focused on Li Chuyue; he didn't care what others thought of him, a grown man, blowing on a woman's hand.
He made no attempt to hide his heartache and care for Li Chuyue, as if his actions were a message to everyone: don't mess with the woman he cherishes.
Both in his words and actions, he was telling everyone that he now had a woman he deeply loved, and that woman was Li Chuyue.
At this moment, the guests surrounding them were stunned to see Ou Jinghuan being so intimate with a woman.
Everyone's face looked as if they had seen something particularly terrifying and unbelievable.
After the initial shock, everyone became curious and began to whisper among themselves:
"Who exactly is that woman who can make President Ou feel so sorry for her?"
"Didn't you say that President Ou likes... men and hates women? How come he's so close to a woman now?"
"Maybe it's just a rumor. Look at the women around President Ou, they're absolutely gorgeous. How could he not like them or feel sorry for them?"
Some people downstairs saw Ou Jinghuan knock Lin Hanmo unconscious for Li Chuyue's sake, and they joined in the discussion:
"That's right! I saw Mr. Ou downstairs earlier, and he even offended the Lin family and beat up the young master of the Lin family for that woman!"
"What?! He's actually willing to risk offending the Lin family for a woman? He's truly fallen for her!"
Upon hearing this, some people were shocked that Ou Jinghuan had truly fallen in love with a woman, and curiously asked the person who had informed them of the assault:
"Which young master of the Lin family did they knock out? I bet Lin Hanmo will be the heir! Could it be him...?"
The competition for the Lin family's heir has evolved into a major event that everyone knows about and many have placed bets on.
Many people placed bets, with many betting on Lin Hanmo, who currently has the biggest advantage, believing he can surpass the original heir, Lin Haoluan.
At this moment, the person who raised the question was one of those who had bought Lin Hanmo's ticket to becoming the Lin family's heir.
In order to curry favor with Lin Hanmo and establish a relationship with the Lin family, he spent a large sum of money to buy Lin Hanmo in front of him.
At this moment, he was worried that the person who offended Ou Jinghuan was Lin Hanmo. In that case, no matter how much of an advantage Lin Hanmo had, it would be difficult for him to become the heir of the Lin family.
Just as this person began to panic, the person being questioned showed a sympathetic expression and comforted him:
"Um... it's Lin Hanmo, the second young master of the Lin family."
He seemed to be pursuing the woman next to Boss Ou at the time, and Boss Ou happened to see them, so...
"Hey! Don't be sad. I also bought Lin Hanmo, but thankfully I only lost a little money."
Upon hearing this, the man felt utterly devastated, because what he had lost was far more than just a small amount of money!
However, while the man was heartbroken, he became even more curious about the woman who could make President Ou unafraid to confront the entire Lin family.
Like everyone else around him, he realized that the beautiful woman in front of him was being valued by President Ou, and they all looked up at her again.
Like everyone else, Xiao Yueyue was curious about what kind of magic Li Chuyue possessed.
However, she could no longer stay there and watch Ou Jinghuan treat another woman with such tenderness.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would become insanely jealous and might do something that even she herself would find abnormal.
So Xiao Yueyue turned her head away, refusing to watch Ou Jinghuan and Li Chuyue flirting, and announced that she was leaving.
Li Chuyue was somewhat surprised to hear that Xiao Yueyue was leaving.
After all, Zheng Shiqi, Bai Yixin, and Xie Ruxue, who previously regarded her as a rival in love, all wished they could make her look bad in front of the people they liked.
She thought that Xiao Yueyue, who had previously boasted about her close relationship with Ou Jinghuan, would later act out of jealousy.
This slightly changed Li Chuyue's opinion of Xiao Yueyue, but she did not try to stop Xiao Yueyue from leaving.
But Ou Junli immediately stopped Xiao Yueyue, who was about to turn and leave, and turned to look at Ou Jinghuan.
She glanced quickly at Li Chuyue beside her, a hint of hesitation in her expression.
Finally, she glanced back at the heartbroken Xiao Yueyue, then looked firmly at Ou Jinghuan, whose eyes were only on Li Chuyue, and said anxiously:
"Brother, Sister Yueyue actually brought an important project to see you!"
Despite her father's objections and immense pressure, she insisted on handing over the Xiao family's projects to Hongxin Group.
I know Chuyue is here, but considering what Yueyue has done for you... as a friend, please don't be so cold, okay?
"..." Upon hearing this, neither Li Chuyue nor Xu Zhishan spoke, as they couldn't say much about business matters.
However, they could all understand what Ou Junli meant, and Li Chuyue also felt that what Ou Junli said made some sense.
It's true that she thinks Xiao Yueyue has taken a liking to her man, but it's also true that Xiao Yueyue wants to help Ou Jinghuan.
Moreover, Xiao Yueyue seemed to realize that her provocative behavior was wrong, and she also felt that what could be taken away would not be hers.
Therefore, at Ou Junli's requesting gaze, Li Chuyue looked at Ou Jinghuan, who had been looking at her with doting eyes.
She didn't say a word, but gave Ou Jinghuan an expression that said she was really fine, and a urging look in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ou Jinghuan didn't speak immediately; instead, he reached out and took Li Chuyue's hand.
Knowing that Li Chuyue was shy, he simply gently massaged her reddened knuckles and warmed her cold hands.
Li Chuyue felt the warmth continuously emanating from Ou Jinghuan's palm, and her heart, like her hands, felt warmed.
At this moment, the anger she felt towards Ou Jinghuan earlier truly subsided somewhat.
This time, she didn't pull her hand back. The woman who had been so cold to Ou Jinghuan before gave him a genuine smile.
