In the luxurious international hotel banquet hall, a variety of pastries and assorted hues of red wine are in abundance — everything that should be present is there, and they are all the most extravagant.

Su Qian watches the constant flow of people at the banquet; couples, groups, holding their wine glasses high. Some are discussing business ventures, some are sharing strategies, others are making introductions. However, she doesn't pay mind to any of this. She doesn't have the heart to care as she scans the crowd.

Suddenly, a heavy hand lands on Su Qian's shoulder. She instinctively shrinks away and turns to see a heavily intoxicated obese man with puffy cheeks and large ears. He isn't familiar, so she continues to search the crowd.

However, the fat man is insistent, making moves on her and following her. "Let go of me, you've got the wrong person!" Su Qian struggles to break free from his clutch, but as soon as she takes a step away, she is held back by the drunk man who is relentless in not letting go.

The drunkard, swaying his bulbous head and clutching her dress, says nonchalantly, "Aren't we all the same? Just a 'miss' making a living off our bodies. Why pretend to be pure and simple? Don’t refuse a toast only to be punished with a forfeit drink!”

"Burp…" The drunkard belches at Su Qian disgustingly.

"You've got the wrong person! I'm not... I'm just here to find someone…"

The two continue a push-pull struggle.

In the midst of Su Qian's reply, there is a crisp "rip" sound.

Su Qian was stunned; her dress had been roughly torn by the drunk man. A piece of the dress at the chest area was torn off, exposing a large part of her shoulder, leaving only a dangerous strap remaining.

The drunk narrowing his small eyes, staring lasciviously at her exposed white skin while wearing a lascivious smile, he said, "Which 'miss' isn't here to find someone? Isn't it to find a man here? Come on, hahaha..."

Laughing, the stimulated man began to tear at her clothes with even more force.

At this rate, she’s going to be stripped naked by the drunkard in this public setting. The surrounding crowd seems too preoccupied with their own affairs and are turning a blind eye to her predicament. Is there nobody who would help her? What should she do?

Lifting her head, Su Qian notices in the center of the banquet, lines of bodyguards standing respectfully. Everyone's eyes are focused on the entrance, the man who is striding in.

The man was wearing a sapphire blue suit, and although he had a half-face blue mask on, concealing his entire face, his natural charm and distinguished carriage in every step, coupled with his disdainful gaze, were enough to attract everyone's attention in the room.

It's him!!

Sensing an opportunity, Su Qianling, with all her might, forcefully pushed the drunken man away and made a beeline for that man, shouting, "Yi Han..."

The drunk, upon realizing he had been pushed aside, suddenly sobered up. His hand was just about to grab her fluttering hemline when he looked up and was met with a cold stare. Terrified, he immediately retracted his hand and dared not do anything else.

His head bowed low, his body shaking. Mentally cursing himself, he thought, "If I had known she knew Mr. Huo, I wouldn't have looked for a woman tonight, let alone her!"

But Su Qian, who was running desperately towards the man, was blissfully unaware of the drunk's reaction. She was just running with all her might, fearing that if she was too slow, she would be caught by the drunk.

Of course, she didn't notice that because of her loud shout, the lively banquet became quiet instantaneously and all eyes were curiously turned towards her.

"Yi Han, you're here!" She called affectionately.

As soon as Huo Yi Han entered the banquet, he heard a coquettish voice calling his name and saw a disheveled woman charging toward him from the corner of his eyes.

His beautiful eyebrows furrowed, he didn't stop.

The bodyguards on either side reacted and tried to stop her, but Su Qian was so petite and her dress was tight fitted. For a moment, they didn't know where to grab her, and in the blink of an eye, she had slipped past them.

Su Qian quickly reached Huo Yi Han, grabbed his sleeve in an intimate manner, and said, "Yi Han, you really are a fast walker."

With that, her hand curled and wrapped around his arm.

At this moment, Su Qian's heart was pounding wildly. She came here looking for this man, but, the man in front of her didn't even recognize her!

Su Qian could only feel her heart beating violently, as if it was going to jump out of her throat.

Huo Yihan stood still, his gaze not landing on her, not saying a word.

Instantly, the air in the banquet hall seemed to solidify, all conversation died down, and everyone held their breath.

Sensing the sudden hush, Su Qian felt an overwhelming tension suffuse the room, prompting her to take in a much-needed deep breath.

In this special circumstance, she could only help herself, struggling to catch her breath while murmuring, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry...please, help me."

She took another gasping breath before continuing her plea, "That man, he wanted to forcibly take me right here, in front of everyone. He even tore at my dress. I'm not the 'girl' from a club he mentioned. I merely..."

She turned her head, ready to explain her situation more clearly and to point out the drunkard's misdeeds, but then she froze.

What? Where's that drunk, enormous man?

The ever-slow Su Qian now realized the hall that was bustling just moments ago was now so silent that you could likely hear a pin drop.

"Hmm!" Huo Yihan let out a soft cold grunt.

Upon hearing this, Su Qian's nerves tightened instantly. As pleasant as his voice was, her fear was on par with being dropped into an ice cellar.

Startled, Su Qian unconsciously tightened her arms around herself and forced a small smile onto her face, a look of pleading in her eyes as she gazed at Huo Yihan.

"That's a fresh sight." Accustomed to the elaborate strategies of women around him seeking totes of favor, Huo Yihan gave a cold chuckle while glancing at Su Qian's face, briefly pausing.

Even in her evident fear, her hands trembling, the smile on her face was indeed like a ray of sunshine.

Hmm, quite refreshing indeed.

As Su Qian's gaze met his icy eyes, it felt as if her breath hitched.

Huo Yihan's gaze drifted towards the terrified fat man in the distance. His voice was deep, imposing, and full of intimidation. "So, someone dares to use force in my territory now?"

The drunken man, scared and sweating heavily, was trembling all over his body. "I... I'm sorry, Master Huo, I didn't know she's your woman..."

"Get lost." The next second, Huo Yihan's voice was as cold as the abyss of the night.

Upon hearing this, the drunken man immediately crouched down in fear. "Okay, okay, I will roll addled!"

Then, he did exactly as he was told and disappeared into the crowd, crawling and rolling around.

Everyone around fell silent.

Was that all?

Was the problem solved just like that?

Su Qian blinked her eyes, then look up at Huo Yihan with a thankful smile. "Thank you so much!"

However, Huo Yihan didn't even spare her a glance. His cold eyes were fixed on the hand that rested on his arm.

Realising her faux pas, Su Qian quickly withdrew her hand, smiling awkwardly. "Thank you, actually, I came to see you..."

Huo Yihan, clearly put off, straightened out the wrinkles on his sleeves and scoffed. Then, with an indifferent yet commanding voice, he ordered, "Take her out and feed her to the dogs."

As for women who tried to seduce him, none was given a happy ending. This woman's boldness was indeed noteworthy.

Su Qian was stunned.

Just moments ago, this man had saved her. But within a second, he suddenly commanded that she be fed to dogs?

Oh God!
