264 Attending The Gala
It turned out that he was thinking about her all the time. He bought so many things and even blistered his palms because of her.
He Miao threw herself into Jing Yan’s arms and buried her head in his clothes. He said in a deep voice, “Silly girl, I’ll go see you when I have time.”
Jing Yan hugged her with a smile and patted her head. “Alright, what are you talking about? Of course, I’m going to meet you. Just be good and wait for me. I’m going to make dinner.”
He Miao then raised her head from his arms and nodded gently. “Then I’ll help you wash the vegetables.”
“No, the water is cold. Be careful not to freeze.” Jing Yan refused her help. He picked up Onion by his feet and stuffed it into her arms, in case she was disobedient and insisted on helping.
The kitchen was soon filled with the aroma of meat. Even Onion in her arms began to wriggle restlessly, struggling to jump down from her legs. He stood anxiously by the kitchen door, sticking out his nose and greedily sniffing the aroma.
He Miao followed him with a smile. She leaned against the door and watched Jing Yan, who was busy inside, feeling very at ease.
The He family’s dinner party was on the eve of the school year. Jing Yan had been busy at the company the whole day, and only managed to make time to pick He Miao up at night.
In the afternoon, he had asked Chen Zhao to take He Miao to the special styling team. When he got there, he would be able to see the little girl who had been carefully dressed up.
In front of the makeup mirror, the young girl’s features were like a painting. With just a little makeup, everything around her would pale in comparison. The pure white chiffon dress made the young girl’s skin whiter than snow. Even though the skirt was long enough to reach her ankles and covered her delicate legs, it still could not hide her exquisite figure. On the contrary, there was a kind of hazy beauty that made people unable to look away.
The moment Jing Yan saw He Miao, he immediately regretted his decision to bring her to the party. However, there was no turning back now, so he could only unwillingly block the envious gazes of the makeup artists and stylists around her for the time being.
He Miao saw his strange expression and tilted her head in confusion. “What’s wrong? Don’t I look good?”
“It’s nice.” Jing Yan gritted his teeth and looked at her exposed slender neck. He wanted to leave a bite mark on it so that everyone would know that it was his private treasure and no one could take a second look at it!
“It’s good that it looks good.” He Miao did not think as much as he did. She was still very satisfied with the dress Jing Yan had personally chosen for her. Although the design was conservative, it perfectly accentuated the wearer’s figure.
Everyone loved beauty, and even He Miao, who usually did not like to dress up, was no exception. However, compared to other girls who dressed up carefully to attract people’s attention, He Miao dressed up only to make herself happy.
The party was held at the He family’s old home in China. Although no one had lived in the large manor in recent years, it had been taken care of very well by the domestic servants. They had all worked in the He family since they were young, so now that they could see He Chen return, they were naturally overjoyed.
As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the manor, the person in charge of receiving took the initiative to open the door for her.
The moment the man saw He Miao, he could not help but be moved by her appearance. He was stunned on the spot for a long time and did not say the welcome speech he had prepared long ago.
Jing Yan glanced at him coldly and led her out of the car, his face frighteningly cold.
The man finally reacted and quickly apologized to the two, but he could not hold back his curiosity and could not help asking, “Is this Miss He, Miss Ye’s daughter?”
“You know me?” He Miao and Jing Yan looked at each other in a daze, then blinked her big, watery eyes at the usher whom she had never met before in confusion.
When the man heard He Miao admit it herself, he immediately beamed with joy and said, “It’s really you. You look so much like your mother. That’s why I was dazed for a moment. Please don’t blame me, Miss He and President Jing.”
Jing Yan furrowed his brows slightly. He did not know what kind of relationship the He family and the Ye family had in the past, but seeing that the other party was very concerned about He Miao, he suddenly felt uneasy. He slightly tightened his grip on He Miao’s hand, lowered his eyes, and looked at her gently. “Later, be good and stay by my side. Don’t run around.”
“I know. Why would I run around?” He Miao laughed at his stupidity without much care. When she saw a black car driving over from the corner of his eye, her face darkened. He Feng is here.
“Hmph, ignore him. Let’s go in.” Jing Yan’s voice was deep. What he was worried about now was not what He Feng would do to He Miao, but how everyone in the He family looked at He Miao along the way. The naked and unconcealed surprise in their eyes made him suddenly feel irritated, as if someone had been coveting his precious for a long time.
In the lounge, the butler fixed the tie of the man in the wheelchair for the last time. Then, he looked at the man in the mirror with a smile and said, “The guests have arrived. Master, are you going out now or are you going to wait for Miss Ye to pack up?”
