A Black Bentley was parked outside the Huo Group building. Huo Man walked to the car and the door opened immediately. Shen Bei was sitting in the back seat, staring at Huo Man. His eyes were not as cold as usual.

Huo Man looked down at Shen Bei with chilly eyes.

“Congratulations, President Huo.” Shen Bei was the first to break the silence. He extended his hand and congratulated her at the right time.

He had heard that Huo Man was going to fight for the position of chairman of the Huo Group. He assumed that she would not be able to handle those sly old foxes, but just now, he received news that Huo Man was almost unanimously voted in the shareholders’ meeting to become the chairman of the Huo Group.

It seemed that Huo Man did have some ability, and not just an imposing aura.

Shen Bei’s interest in Huo Man grew, and he sincerely congratulated her. However, Huo Man did not take his hand immediately. Instead, she paused for a few seconds, smiled faintly, and held his hand. Then, she quickly released it.

Shen Bei rubbed his fingers together, feeling the slight warmth that lingered on his palm. A faint smile tugged at his lips.

She was indeed an interesting person!

Xu Feng, who had witnessed everything from the side, looked at Huo Man in shock. Young Master Shen had always been very popular, and many women wanted to be close to him. However, just now, Huo Man was cold to Young Master Shen. Was she inexperienced or just playing hard to get?

Xu Feng hesitated, but Huo Man had already taken a seat beside Shen Bei as if nothing had happened.

“You must be quite capable to be able to take care of the Huo Corporation.” Shen Bei reclined on his chair, his voice filled with admiration.

“I hope we can work together happily in the future,” he continued.

Huo Man nodded. Although she didn’t understand why Old Master Huo wanted her to marry Shen Bei, she had done a lot of research on him. She had to admit that he was indeed an outstanding young man.

A man like him could bring her and the Huo Corporation a number of benefits.

In Huo Man’s eyes, Shen Bei was just a tool.

At this moment, Shen Bei asked, “What do you want to have for lunch? I’ll treat you.”

Huo Man thought for a moment, but nothing came to her mind.

She had returned to Nancheng not long ago, so she didn’t know what kind of food was popular there. Besides, she was used to eating plain food and didn’t have much desire for delicacies.

Unfortunately, it was noon and the food stall was not open. Otherwise, Huo Man would have dragged Shen Bei to that food stall.

“You decide.” In the end, Huo Man gave up on thinking and left the decision to Shen Bei.

Shen Bei had listened to her last time, so she would just go along with him this time.

“Alright,” he said. Shen Bei nodded and said to Xu Feng who was driving, “Let’s go to Amour.”

Hearing the name, Huo Man instantly knew that it was a French restaurant.

She didn’t know why Shen Bei was so insistent on having French cuisine, but the restaurant Shen Bei chose would not be bad.

The French restaurant was not far from the Huo Group. It was located in a small manor. There were many bright roses in the huge garden. The blue and white house was fresh and stylish and with high-end facilities.

Shen Bei was a regular at this restaurant. The waiter in charge of welcoming guests rushed over to greet him when he saw his car.

The waiter was about to open the door when he saw Shen Bei coming out from the other side. He walked over to Huo Man’s side and opened the door.

The waiter’s eyes widened. He could not imagine what kind of distinguished guest could make Shen Bei open the door personally.

Previously, when Shen Bei came, he would sit in the car and wait for the service staff to open the door for him. However, Young Master Shen made an exception this time!

Under the waiter’s gaze, Huo Man’s long and fair legs stepped out, and a sweet fragrance hit his face. Huo Man gently tucked her curly hair behind her ear and lifted the hem of her dress as she got out of the car, elegant and beautiful.

There were many ladies in the French restaurant, but it was the first time the waiter had seen such a stunner.

The roses in the garden dimmed a little when they saw Huo Man.

It was also when the waiter saw her delicate face that he finally understood why Shen Bei was so careful.

Even a hero would fall for this beauty!
