Chapter 11 When do you plan to have the wedding?
"Sister Yan!"

Chu Yan stepped forward and greeted her, "Sister Yan, long time no see, you look more beautiful again."

Yuan Xi looked at the young woman in the cheongsam that outlined her slender figure. Hearing Chu Yan's name, he thought that she should be Bo Fan's sister, Bo Yan.

In fact, Chu Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao were on guard against her seducing Gu Hanchen, and some of the reasons were related to Bo Yan, or more precisely, to Bo Yan's ex-fiancé, the president of Youzi Film and Television.

Youzi Film and Television is one of the largest video platforms in China. Si Chen, the president of Youzi Film and Television, has made it onto the Forbes list at the age of only 30.

The Bo family has transformed into the entertainment industry in recent years, so naturally they want to form an alliance with a film and television company like the Si family. The elders of the Si family are also interested in bringing Bo Yan and Si Chen together.

But just when they were about to get engaged, Si Chen suddenly said that he wanted to marry the secretary who had been with him for three years.

Despite his family's opposition, Si Chen resolutely got married with his secretary. The wedding invitations of Si Chen and his secretary are still placed in Gu Hanchen's office.

It seems that the wedding will be held on May 20th.

Bo Yan looked at Yuan Xi with disdain, and then warmly put her arm around Chu Yan's hand: "Yan Yan, you are so sweet. Don't worry, the Bo family only recognizes you as a daughter-in-law, and I only recognize you as a sister-in-law. Some people don't even think of entering our Bo family."

Mrs. Bo also chuckled. So what if Yuan Xi is the real daughter of the Chu family? After all, her upbringing over the years is here.

Everyone knew that Yuan Xi worked as Gu Hanchen's secretary. Even though she had become the daughter of the Chu family, it could not change the fact that she came from the countryside and worked as a secretary.

Chu Yan put her arm around Mrs. Bo and said, "Aunt, let's go look at some jewelry. I want to buy a jade pendant for my mother to wear at my sister's return party."

Mrs. Bo chuckled and said, "I recently got a few imperial green Wu Shi tiles."

Yuan Xi followed them into a reception room with antique furniture and burning incense on the table. Yuan Xi covered her nose with her hand because she couldn't smell any fragrance when she was pregnant.

"Aunt, Bo Fan wants my sister to be his secretary... It seems that Bo Fan is also very satisfied with my sister. If it weren't for me, my sister would be the daughter-in-law of the Bo family..."

Mrs. Bo chuckled and said, "I'm in the jade business. This Burmese jade is the same as Guatemalan jade. They are both jade, but the prices are very different. The value of the material varies greatly depending on where it was grown. The Bo family does not accept jade of all materials. We don't want jade from Guatemala."

Several waiters wearing traditional Chinese style skirts came in and served tea.

Yuan Xi pretended not to understand the hidden meaning behind Mrs. Bo's words.

Mrs. Bo said to Yuan Xi, "This should be the first time Secretary Yuan drinks this kind of tea. Would you like to try it?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "Sorry, I have a stomach problem and can't drink tea."

Bo Yan snorted coldly, "Do you have a stomach problem, or do you not know how to appreciate tea and are afraid of making a fool of yourself? Don't worry, we know you grew up in the village, and we won't laugh at you for not knowing how to appreciate tea."

Yuan Xi felt extremely bored, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face. When she was about to find an excuse to leave, Huo Shiyan called.

Yuan Xi answered the phone, "I'm off work, ok..."

Yuan Xi stood up and said to Mrs. Bo, "Mrs. Bo, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Chu Yan said: "Sister, why are you leaving right after you arrived? Where are the jewelry you picked for mom?"

Yuan Xi said, "I still have some things to do. I will go somewhere else to pick out the jewelry for my mother."

Chu Yan's move was clearly a Hongmen Banquet. Yuan Xi had no interest in joining them in ridiculing him, and was even less willing to give them money.

Yuan Xi walked outside, called a car and went to the place agreed with Huo Shiyan. After getting into Huo Shiyan's passenger seat, he sighed slightly.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi: "Why aren't you at Mi Chen Game?"

Yuan Xi said, "Don't mention it. Chu Yan insisted that I wanted to marry Bo Fan, so she took me to Mrs. Bo's place today to show me her power. She really is... too idle."

Huo Shiyan said: "Why don't you tell her that you are married? Telling her that you are married can save a lot of trouble."

"I was afraid she would ask who my husband was."

Yuan Xi said, "Then we won't be able to hide the fact of our marriage from Gu Hanchen."

Huo Shiyan said: "It's okay if Gu Hanchen really knows that we are getting married. If he really becomes a hands-off boss, I will find a new CEO for Mi Chen?"

Yuan Xi agreed: "Okay."

Huo Shiyan said to Yuan Xi: "I'll take you to dinner with my friends today."

"Now?" Yuan Xi opened the mirror in the passenger seat and took a look at her haggard face after a day's work.

Huo Shiyan said: "Well, you should have seen it too."

Yuan Xi took out the air cushion lipstick from her bag and touched up her makeup, then glanced at Huo Shiyan, "Who?"

"Si Chen." Yuan Xi: "I just met Bo Yan."

Huo Shiyan asked: "Who is Bo Yan?"

Yuan Xi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't Si Chen your friend?"

"Well, he was my neighbor when I was studying in the United States. He was three years older than me and helped me a lot when I was in the United States."

Yuan Xi said: "Si Chen is your good friend, how come you didn't know that he almost had an engagement with Bo Yan half a year ago?"

Huo Shiyan said: "The elders made their own decisions, right? Si Chen never said that he and Qin Yue have been in love for three years, how could he be engaged to someone else?

Qin Yue is Qin Lang's twin sister, and she used to be one of my special assistants. Si Chen took a fancy to her and poached her away from me, so I am their matchmaker."

Yuan Xi asked: "So you will also attend their wedding in two days?"

Huo Shiyan nodded and said, "I will go, what about you?"

Yuan Xi whispered, "Gu Hanchen asked me to be his female companion and accompany him to the event. It was decided when I received the invitation letter a week ago..."

Yuan Xi felt somewhat guilty for accompanying her boss instead of her husband.

Huo Shiyan didn't say much and took Yuan Xi to a private restaurant next to Ruo Lake.

Entering the box, what caught the eye was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Yuan Xi thought that the view of Ruo Lake from Ruo Lake Mansion was the best, but he didn't expect that the view of Ruo Lake at sunset from this restaurant was even more unique.

Yuan Xi took out his phone and took a photo. "I grew up by Ruo Lake, but I have never seen such a beautiful Ruo Lake."

Huo Shiyan said: "The view of Ruo Lake from here is indeed excellent."

"Shi Yan, you really won't come to be my best man?"

Yuan Xi heard the sound at the door and turned to see Si Chen and Qin Yue.

Qin Yue was surprised to see Yuan Xi.

Si Chen said: "This lady looks so familiar, I seem to have seen her somewhere before."

Yuan Xi generously extended her hand and said, "Boss Si, I'm Yuan Xi, the secretary of Gu Hanchen of Michen Games. We've met several times at the Internet Conference and Jiangcheng Comic Exhibition."

Si Chen shook hands with Yuan Xi, "It turns out to be Secretary Yuan."

Huo Shiyan put his hand on Yuan Xi's shoulder, "My wife, Yuan Xi."

Si Chen was surprised when he heard this, "You're married? Why didn't you tell me about this happy event earlier?"

Huo Shiyan said, "We've just been married for two days. Yuan Xi doesn't want Gu Hanchen to know that she and I are married. Don't say anything in front of Gu Hanchen."

Si Chen said: "Gu Hanchen and I are not familiar with each other, don't worry, I won't say anything. No wonder you don't want to be the best man, it turns out you are already married."

Huo Shiyan said: "Also, don't let anyone know that I'm in Jiangcheng."

"I know." Si Chen said, "Don't worry, we will tell everyone that you are Qin Yue's cousin, and we won't say you are Huo Shiyan's."

Qin Yue looked at the blue diamond ring on Yuan Xi's hand and said, "This blue diamond suits Mrs. Huo very well."

When Yuan Xi heard Mrs. Huo's address, she smiled and said, "Just call me Yuan Xi."

Qin Yue also smiled and said, "What would you like to drink?"

Huo Shiyan put his hand on Yuan Xi's waist and said, "She's pregnant, so she should drink coconut juice."

Si Chen looked at Huo Shiyan in surprise: "You are so quick, when are you going to hold the wedding?"

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi also looked at Huo Shiyan. She actually had no plans to hold a wedding...

Yuan Xi didn't want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly. Besides, she and Huo Shiyan didn't get married because they were truly in love. They just got married for the sake of having a child by accident overnight.

Yuan Xi felt nauseous and said, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

Yuan Xi went to the bathroom and vomited for a long time. After she rinsed her mouth with water, she saw the cotton towel Qin Yue handed over and said, "Thank you."

Qin Yue looked at Yuan Xi and said, "I used to see your photos in Mr. Huo's office. Today I finally saw you in person. You look better when you grow up than when you were a child in the photos."

Yuan Xi wiped it with a cotton towel and said, "I'm sorry, you got the wrong person. I'm not his childhood sweetheart. I just look similar to him."
