In the hall of the Pearl Clubhouse, people were toasting each other.

The glass lighthouse shone brightly, the graceful dance of women, the platinum tassels, the dazzling diamonds, and the smell of perfume in the air created an extravagant and dreamy scene.

Luo Fusheng didn't like such a scene.

He had seen a lot of it even when he was in Mei Gaomei.

Today, he was wearing a black tuxedo. As soon as he entered the ballroom, he leaned against the corner of the ballroom in boredom and ignored the ladies and ladies who came to invite him.

Hong Lan circled around the ballroom like a flamboyant butterfly and came back excitedly. "Ah Fu, let's dance!"

"The main character hasn't arrived yet. Let's keep a low profile." Luo Fusheng lowered his head and patted Hong Lan's shoulder.

"Why do you care?

We came to the ballroom to dance. "Hong Lan didn't buy it at all. She dragged Luo Fusheng's arm and walked away.

"Hey … hey, slow down. Aren't you tired of walking in such high shoes?" Luo Fusheng couldn't do anything about Hong Lan's coquettish and unreasonable behavior. He complained helplessly as he was dragged away by her.

As the two of them were fooling around, there was a sudden movement at the door.

Everyone's eyes were focused in one direction.

He's here?

Luo Fusheng turned his head and looked at the main character of the day with curiosity and caution. When he stepped into the ballroom, he couldn't be hidden even in the crowd. It was probably because he was really tall.

His hair was cut very short, just long enough to apply hair gel. It revealed the clean lines of his chin, shoulders, and neck. They were the result of years of training in the military academy.

He lowered his head slightly and spoke politely to the people around him. Only half of his well-defined face could be seen.

Luo Fusheng lowered his head and let Hong Lan play by herself. He walked over.

Hung Cheng-pao was also in the crowd. He had to follow him and protect him in case of any accidents.

From this angle, he could only see the side of the person's face.

Luo Fusheng scrutinized Huo Duzhi's face. For some reason, he felt that Huo Duzhi's side profile looked familiar. He stared at Huo Duzhi, trying to recall where he had seen him before.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the other party raised his head to look at him, revealing a clear face.

His brows were as sharp as swords, and his facial features were as handsome as a god's.

Luo Fusheng felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Huo Duzhi couldn't explain what he was feeling.

He had always asked someone to take photos of Luo Fusheng, so he clearly knew how tall and thin he was.

Before coming here, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Perhaps the feelings that had been suppressed for seven years had unknowingly deteriorated and faded away after seven years of missing each other.

He had even secretly felt gratified by this.

However, it was only at this moment that he realized that the truth was very different from what he had imagined.

He stared deeply into Huo Duzhi's eyes, which were widened in surprise. The black and white of Huo Duzhi's eyes were distinct, and his gaze was clear and moving like water. As if he hadn't seen enough, he looked at Huo Duzhi's deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, pink lips, and pale chin.

He felt the desire in his heart that had rapidly awakened the moment he saw Huo Duzhi. He wanted to be close to him, to own him, to protect him, as if he was guarding his heart. He wanted to make Huo Duzhi his own.

He suddenly realized that his improper thoughts had never disappeared.

Perhaps they would never disappear in this lifetime.

Unfortunately, indecent thoughts were just indecent thoughts.

Huo Duzhi gritted his teeth.

Then, he frowned slightly.

He was too thin.

He had a thin body, but he was full of energy and spirit.

He wasn't doing well.

Huo Duzhi was lost in thought, and then his attention was pulled back by Huo Duzhi's slowly reddening eyes.

Luo Fusheng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He looked at Huo Duzhi's face. That familiar face that resembled Gu Qi's.

He felt like something was stuck in his throat, and it took him a long time to ask, "Are you … Gu Qi?"

Seven years had passed in a flash, and only the figures of the two youths were left in the Gu family's courtyard, facing each other.

Huo Duzhi looked deeply into Huo Duzhi's eyes. He ignored the pounding of his heart and the sourness that spread throughout his body. With great effort, he returned to the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

He chuckled and said, "How should I address you?

What a novel pickup line. "

Luo Fusheng was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

Hung Cheng-pao pulled Luo Fusheng aside and whispered, "What's wrong with you?!!"

He turned to Huo Duzhi and smiled. "Second Prince Huo, please don't make a fool of yourself.

This is my adopted son, Luo Fusheng. He's also the second-in-command of the Hong Gang. Second Prince Huo, please don't take offense to his poor eyesight. "

Huo Duzhi nodded, accepting this explanation. He thought that Hung Cheng-pao must have been too nervous to notice.

He wanted to talk to Luo Fusheng too much, so he refused to let go of Luo Fusheng. He stared into Luo Fusheng's eyes and asked, "Gu Qi? Who is he?

Does he look like me? "

Huo Duzhi could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

His rationality was mocking him.

Playing games in front of a group of sophisticated old foxes in Shanghai without paying attention was too arrogant and absurd.

But he couldn't control his mouth.

Just like he couldn't control his beating heart.

Huang Xinrong suddenly laughed. "Gu Qi?

I've seen that guy once.

I think he's Luo Xiaozi's sworn brother?

There's been no news of him these past few years. When Brother Fan left, I wanted him to come to my place.

He really does look like Second Prince Huo. "

Huang Xinrong rubbed his round belly.

"The first time I saw him, I was shocked too. But if you look closely, you can see the difference. Isn't that right, Fusheng?"

Huang Xinrong's Rong Ji had never been on bad terms with the Hong Gang. They even cooperated a lot. He wanted to get on their good side and help Luo Fusheng get out of trouble.

Luo Fusheng stared at Huo Duzhi.

Although his facial features were similar to Gu Qi's, his skin was much fairer. His temperament was lazy and noble. His eyes were cold and arrogant, and his thoughts were as deep as the sea. He was like a rich and powerful child raised in a rich nest. He was different from Gu Qi, who was born with a wild nature.

What was he thinking? Gu Qi should be in the south. How could he be a member of the Huo family?

Only then did he come back to his senses. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, blinking away the tears in his eyes.

It was as if Luo Fusheng's liveliness had been extinguished. Luo Fusheng fell silent and stopped looking at Huo Duzhi. He said in a low voice, "I did see wrongly. I've disturbed Second Young Master Huo's mood. I'll punish myself with a drink."

"Second Master Luo, one cup is not enough. You should punish yourself with at least three cups to apologize." It was Zhang Rulin who spoke.

He was one of the leaders of the Green Gang. He had always had conflicts with the Hong Gang.

His triangular eyes were full of malice. Seeing that Luo Fusheng did not respond, he said lazily, "Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to use any Tom, Dick, or Harry to get close to Second Prince Huo."

Luo Fusheng looked at him seriously and did not say anything. He picked up the wine that the attendant beside him was holding and drank three cups in a row.

The wine was red wine. The wine flowed through his lips, teeth, and throat. It spilled out of the corner of his mouth and left a scratch on his white skin.

Coupled with his expressionless face, he looked like a jade statue.

Huo Duzhi's eyes were dark. Due to his status, it was not easy for him to stop Luo Fusheng. He could only let Luo Fusheng drink without any expression.

Luo Fusheng finished drinking and showed the bottom of the cup.

He said in a low voice, "This is my sincerity to apologize."

Huo Duzhi looked at the drop of wine that slid down Luo Fusheng's white neck and into his collar. The wine-red drop of water disappeared as soon as it entered his collar. It was like a complicated matter that disappeared in an instant.

He thought to himself that Luo Fusheng had been living such a life all these years. A wave of anger and impatience gradually emerged in his heart.

Some busybodies immediately clapped. "Forthright!"

Huo Duzhi did not show any emotion on his face. Instead, he chuckled and raised his hand to clap.

"I admire you!

You are indeed the second-in-command of the Hong Gang. You are indeed generous. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the slightly tense atmosphere in the surroundings relaxed.

Du Risheng, who had been smiling, opened his mouth to start another topic. Huo Duzhi shifted his attention. Luo Fusheng looked down and disappeared into the crowd.

Huo Duzhi secretly glanced at him and forced himself to focus on dealing with the crowd.

"… So the savior that my good-for-nothing son of mine was muttering about was the Second Prince Huo!

This is fate! "

Zhang Rulin grabbed Huo Duzhi's arm and was overjoyed.

Huo Duzhi thought to himself that this father and son pair had the same bad habit.

He did not mind and let him grab his arm. He smiled and said, "I only found out when I returned to the hotel and was reminded by Mr. Du's subordinates.

This is fate indeed. "

Zhang Rulin quickly glanced at Du Risheng.

He thought to himself that this brother of his was acting strange today. He was smiling and did not speak much. He was not as eager to curry favor with the rich and powerful as usual.

He did not even react to Huo Duzhi's words. He only said, "What are you talking about?

We just happen to know each other. "

Did he become the good guy again?

Hmph!

Although Zhang Rulin thought so, there was a smile on his face. "Hahaha, Brother Du has always been considerate." He laughed and praised, and then said, "It's just that the kindness of saving my life should be repaid with gusto.

This time, Shuqin is sick and did not come. I'll let Shuqin personally host a banquet to apologize to the Second Prince Huo another day.

I'll show my gratitude. "

"It's nothing." Huo Duzhi smiled and shook his head.

However, he did not refuse.

Zhang Xiaolin was delighted.

What kind of luck did this idiot son of his have to win the favor of the Second Prince Huo?

If he did not know his son's standards, he would have thought that the other party had taken a liking to him!

During this time, the police chief, Xu Rui 'an, and the boss of the Lin Group, Lin Daoshan, also chatted with Huo Duzhi for a while.

Huo Duzhi took note of their temperaments. He felt that Xu Rui 'an was gloomy and pragmatic, while Lin Daoshan was calm and eloquent. He thought that these were the elders that Luo Fusheng had mentioned. He paid more attention to them.

Pairs of young people began to dance on the dance floor. Huo Duzhi only glanced at the dance floor, but Du Risheng saw through his mischievous intentions. He said, "Old men shouldn't hinder the young people from making friends." He led them to a private room on the second floor and told them to do whatever they were supposed to do. The crowd dispersed.

Huo Duzhi thought to himself that Du Risheng was quite similar to his uncle, Lu Han. He had a sharp and quick-witted mind.

He was much better than the straightforward Huang Xinrong and the ambitious Zhang Rulin.
