Chapter Five: Masquerade Ball

  The mother of flowers held onto the arm of the father of flowers, and Huamu Qing followed behind them. The three entered the banquet hall in a line.

  The entire hall was surrounded by white roses into a monochromatic world, elegant, clean and warm.

  At this time, Huamu Qing felt that her stomach was making a strange noise. She hurried to catch up with her parents' pace and said, "Mom, Dad, I need to go to the restroom."

  The flower mother waved her hand and said, "Go ahead!"

  Huamu Qing wore a fake mask, holding his stomach, limping and was about to walk out of the hall. At this time, he coincidentally brushed shoulders with Zuo Chen'an who was wearing a black suit and a black mask, coming from the opposite direction.

  Zuo Chen'an followed his mother as they gradually approached Hua father and Hua mother.

  The flower mother saw her good friend in the distance, although both of them were wearing masks, they could still recognize each other through their years of friendship and affection.

  Likewise, Zu Chen An's mother also saw them and both opened their arms to welcome each other.

  Yu Yao...

  "Elena" is the English name of Zu Chen'an's mother.

  Hua Fu and Zuo Chen An's father shook hands with each other and exchanged greetings, "Greetings, sir!"

  "Hello! Long time no see."

  "Really? How have you been lately?"

  "Yeah, it's alright."

  While Huamu Qing turned on the faucet in the bathroom, washing her hands and talking to herself in front of the mirror, "I must have eaten something bad." After rinsing her hands, she took a deep breath in front of the mirror and began to put on her mask.

  Pulling her son Zuo Chen'an's hand, she introduced him to her parents-in-law, "This is my son - Zuo Chen'an."

  Zuo Chen'an made a gesture of respect towards his elders, "Greetings."

  Hua Mu nodded and walked over, grasping Zuo Chen An's hand, shaking her head and saying, "My god, even with a mask on, you're still so stunningly handsome!"

  With a happy face, "His mother's genes are good!"

  The two of them looked at each other with joy and smiled.

  "Is Minister Chen An's secretary?" Hua Fu asked with a questioning face.

  "Uh-huh." Zu Chen'an nodded.

  "I've met your uncle, Minister Gong, and he can't stop praising you. He also said that making you his secretary was a wise decision, I'm sure this young man's future is bright." Mr. Hua said with genuine admiration, having an inexplicable good impression of the young man in front of him.

  A and her husband beamed with joy, their faces filled with irrepressible smiles, their son being their greatest pride.

  Zuo Chen'an made a gesture again and humbly said, "You're overpraising me."

  At this time, Huamu gave Elena a slight wink, and the two walked to one side. A spoke up first, "Where is that Muqing kid?"

  "She went to the restroom." Mother Hua replied.

  She nodded in satisfaction, "Sister, I'm curious to death."

  Although the two families have known each other for generations, the children had never met before because the Hua family moved to T City early on and they never saw each other again.

  At this time, Hanaki Haruka, who came out of the restroom, walked back into the banquet hall.

  She looked around and found many gentlemen and celebrities who were usually only seen on TV, as well as many first-line female stars.

  The entire banquet hall was resplendent with lights, fragrant scents and beautiful shadows, cups and chopsticks intertwined, noisy and lively, even the melodious music rhythm became their background.

  This banquet is actually a gathering for people from all walks of life to connect with each other and show off their status. Today, if it weren't for my parents' face, it would be really hard to get in. Such an invitation card for charity, I heard that the number of external distribution is limited, after filtering and screening again and again.

  Just feeling a bit thirsty, Hanaki saw a waiter holding a cocktail in his hand. She walked up to the waiter and reached out to grab the glass handle.

  At the same time, Zuochen An's hand took a step back and touched Hanaki Haru's hand.

  Zuo Chen An looked at the newcomer, who was wearing a milky white bubble sleeve V-neck knee-length dress, which should be designed by a famous designer. The waistline of this part is loose and seems to be specially designed for unmarried women. There are two layers of folds added around the waist, which has a strong sense of hierarchy.

  The hem of the skirt is lotus leaf edge, making the overall look simple and elegant.

  She wore golden round-toed flat shoes, with exquisite workmanship and a more exquisite temperament. A string of dazzling diamond necklaces adorned her white neck, and the earrings on the side were also a set of flowing diamond earrings, which shone even brighter under the light. Her delicate makeup was radiant and unmatched, exuding an aura that seemed to overwhelm everyone present.

  Hanaki Haruya looked at the man in front of him, who wore a high-end bespoke Armani black suit, with a dignified and elegant white shirt piled up on his neck, setting off a beautifully lined and sensual jawline that was even more stern and uninhibited.

  Huā Mù Qíng was the first to react, suddenly feeling inappropriate, hurriedly pulling away her hand, with a face full of embarrassment.

  Zuo Chen'an politely said, "Please go ahead!"

  Huā Mù Qíng also felt embarrassed, "Never mind, you go first!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave his line of sight.

  Seeing the beauty about to leave, Zu Chen'an hastily called out to her, "Please wait a moment."

  Huā Mù Qíng turned around, staring blankly at the handsome guy in front of her.

  Zuo Chen An Du stood up and took a cocktail from the tray held by the male waiter, walking towards Hua Mu Qing, "Please!"

  Huamu Qing stared at him with a surprised expression, then smiled and accepted it naturally, "Thank you." Then, she turned around and left Lao Chen'an's line of sight.

  Zuo Chen'an stood still, gazing at Huamu Qing's back, a ripple rising in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
