After the death of my wife, I criticized the CEO like crazy and he panicked

Chapter 118 Opportunity to Escape
Where is it?

Huo Jinzhou seemed to be asking himself, but he didn't have any answer.

He only felt that during the period when Yan Qiqi was missing, his mind was in chaos and he seemed to be going crazy.

This has never happened even in those five years.

Could it be that he was really attracted to Yan Qiqi?

When Huo Jinzhou thought of this, a hint of disbelief flashed in his cold black eyes.

But in the end there was no answer.

The assistant hurried over.

Huo Jinzhou didn't move and said in a low voice, "Have you found it?"

The assistant tremblingly denied: "Mr. Huo, I haven't found Secretary Yan's whereabouts, but there is a banquet next week, and this is an invitation from the organizer."

Huo Jinzhou was a little upset at first and wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he might be able to find Yan Qiqi through this method, and finally said nothing.

The assistant immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He had already prepared that Huo Jinzhou would be angry if he sent the invitation at this time. Unexpectedly, Huo Jinzhou actually changed his temper. It was really confusing.

The assistant shook his head, knowing that a junior employee like him couldn't comment on the boss's matters.

He quickly retreated.

Huo Jinzhou was once again the only one left in the room. He looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

……

Inside the manor.

Yan Qiqi went downstairs as usual and finished the breakfast prepared by the nanny, then slowly opened a book she had been reading for the past two days.

Since arriving here, Yan Qiqi has one more thing to do to kill time every day.

With books as a companion, at least it won't be so boring.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed by.

Yan Qiqi rubbed the center of her brows, her eyeballs feeling a little sore.

In just a moment, most of the book has been read.

The servant came over to ask Yan Qiqi to eat.

After hearing this, the latter walked out of the room and sat on the dining table.

The medium-rare steak had obvious myoglobin, and Yan Qiqi skillfully cut into a small piece.

John sat opposite.

In the past two days, John rarely spoke to her.

Yan Qiqi is happy to have a leisurely life. Life here is very comfortable. Apart from not being able to use electronic devices and not being able to go out at will, Yan Qiqi is very indulgent in other aspects.

Daily life consists of reading a book or strolling in the garden. The gardener takes good care of the flowers inside.

The flowers are bright and the air is filled with their fragrance.

Except John's mother comes here occasionally.

John's mother was very unhappy with Yan Qiqi, but due to John's presence, she did not express her opinion directly.

But in private, he made things difficult for Yan Qiqi everywhere.

But these are just small tricks for Yan Qiqi, and they are not even on the same level as the methods Nie Tong used against him.

Yan Qiqi simply didn't bother to pay attention.

Later, the other party seemed to realize that the damage value of this trick to Yan Qiqi was infinitely close to zero, so he simply didn't bother to come over.

It just made John more interested in Yan Qiqi.

"You are quite capable of making my mother give up."

Yan Qiqi was speechless.

Does the other party really hope that he will quarrel with his mother?

What a strange habit this is.

John placed an invitation in front of Yan Qiqi.

"This is an invitation to a dinner party. You have to accompany me tonight." Yan Qiqi glanced at the invitation. Just from the craftsmanship of the invitation, it can be seen that the host of the banquet is extraordinary. There will definitely be many people attending. If you don't, you might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

She thought so in her heart.

For the evening party, John invited famous makeup artists and stylists.

"Miss, you have such a good figure. You should dress like this. You will be able to charm others."

"Miss, your skin is really good. How do you take care of it on a daily basis?"

The two of them spoke to each other, but it was not difficult to hear that they were all flattering.

Yan Qiqi only felt irritated.

After letting them dress themselves up, they almost lost their minds when looking at the pretty person in the full-length mirror.

In the mirror, a woman in complicated attire has beautiful eyes, as if filled with thousands of spring water, which is alluring. Her pink lips are delicate, and her fair skin is like a freshly shelled egg, without any flaws.

She subconsciously touched her face.

Well, it is indeed beautiful.

This is something Yan Qiqi has always known.

She has no intention of using beauty as a tool, but that doesn't mean she doesn't.

After dressing up, seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Qiqi walked downstairs.

As soon as he came downstairs, he saw John, and the surprise in his eyes was captured by Yan Qiqi.

John stepped forward and supported Yan Qiqi.

The two of them were in a slightly intimate posture, and Yan Qiqi let go uncomfortably and walked forward, thus ignoring the flash of gloom on John's face behind him.

As soon as she arrived at the banquet, Yan Qiqi discovered that the people entering the banquet were either rich or noble.

The entire banquet hall was filled with a sense of luxury.

There are musicians playing in the center.

Someone was dancing on the dance floor.

Yan Qiqi suddenly remembered that the last time she attended such a banquet was with Huo Jinzhou, but this time it was with John.

There was a coldness on the corner of her lips, and she paid more attention to her surroundings.

Find a way to escape.

As soon as John entered the banquet hall, he was directly entangled by a graceful woman, who was said to be the daughter of a certain family.

Yan Qiqi was not interested in this, but it might be a good thing for her that someone could hold John back.

She walked towards the bathroom, but after taking only two steps, John grabbed her wrist.

"Where are you going?"

Yan Qiqi glanced at the obviously unhappy woman standing next to John, feeling speechless.

How can you still have time to care about yourself when a beautiful woman is by your side?
She broke away from John and replied: "It's just to go to the bathroom. You shouldn't even let me go to the bathroom."

When John heard this, he no longer stopped him, but there was a hint of meaning in his eyes.

"I don't want to see you run away from this party."

Yan Qiqi pursed her lips and stopped talking.

He only turned around and walked towards the bathroom, thus missing the man who just walked into the banquet hall.

The man was tall and very calm in a black suit. His body was tall and straight, and his whole body was filled with coldness. There was no unnecessary expression on his face. He just walked towards the inside, glanced around twice, and then looked back.

As soon as he walked in, someone already came over and wanted to please him.

Huo Jinzhou has long been accustomed to such occasions. The bodyguards around him are hidden in the crowd, seeming to be looking for someone.

Yan Qiqi checked in the bathroom and found that there was no place to escape, so she had no choice but to return to the banquet hall.

There was a place not far away where people gathered.

As soon as she walked out, a pair of big hands stopped her slender waist, and beside her, she felt the man's warm breath in her ear.

"Don't forget to promise me. It won't be that simple if you leave without permission."

Yan Qiqi frowned and wanted to distance herself from the other party, but the man's arms were like steel and she couldn't break free.
