Meanwhile, on Huo Tingrui’s end.
Huo Tingrui did not want his little sister to question his charm, so he was particularly gentlemanly towards all the women who approached him as long as they had a passable appearance.
He did not refuse almost any women.
Huo Tingrui thought he was acting like a gentleman but ended up getting taken for a womanizer.
“How much did it cost you to rent this high-end outfit?” Fang Ting looked at Huo Tingrui blatantly with her phone in hand.
Huo Tingrui’s smile froze instantly from hearing this. He lowered his head to glance at his outfit. Did she assume his outfit was a rental simply because it was high-end?
This woman had probably never encountered rich people in her life!
Huo Tingrui’s face looked cold. “It hasn’t been rented.”
A teasing look appeared on Fang Ting’s face. “Would someone who could afford to wear posh clothes worth hundreds of thousands come here for matchmaking? You’re such a bad actor.”
She paused for two seconds and continued laughing at Huo Tingrui before he could defend himself. “I have met plenty of womanizers before, but you are the most shameless one ever. You must have attended loads of matchmaking events, right?”
Fang Ting went. “Tsk tsk.”
The man looked like a scum through and through. He must have cheated plenty of women in the past.
Huo Tingrui was dumbstruck by such unexpected, vicious slander. “???”
She had assumed the worst. As per her, his posh outfit was rental, and he was a casanova just because he was chivalrous.
This woman must have had loads of bad experiences with men, right?
Huo Tingrui scrutinized the woman expressionlessly. Other than her pretty face, she seemed to have no fashion sense whatsoever.
She was dressed in a yellow jacket. Since she had such a foul mouth, Huo Tingrui was certain that her matchmaking would wilt just like the color of her outfit.
Fang Ting smiled before she waved and turned to leave when the womanizer pursed his lips without retorting.
Huo Tingrui was speechless. “…”

The mask on Huo Yao’s face had covered most of her exquisite face, so no one paid any attention to her when she entered the matchmaking event.
Even if they did, they simply wondered why anyone would wear a mask during such an event.
Before Huo Yao managed to find Huo Tingrui, someone almost walked into her.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize you were there.” Fang Ting was eating snacks when she took a step back and almost bumped into someone. The clasp on her brooch loosened and fell onto the ground, but she failed to notice it.
Huo Yao escaped unscathed and stepped to the side. When Huo Yao caught sight of Fang Ting’s appearance, she was surprised. She quickly replied. “I’m fine.”
She lowered her eyes and bent over to pick up the brooch that had fallen on the ground.
It was a cartoon brooch.
She handed the brooch to Fang Ting. “Your brooch.”
Fang Ting’s eyes landed on Huo Yao’s hand. She finally realized that it had fallen earlier. She placed her paper plate filled with snacks on the table and took the brooch. She bowed to Huo Yao with gratitude. “Thanks a lot.”
“You’re welcome,” replied Huo Yao politely.
Fang Ting put her brooch back on before she raised her head to look at Huo Yao again. Huo Yao was wearing a mask, and only her lovely eyes could be seen. However, she looked awfully familiar.
Fang Ting thought for a moment but was incapable of recalling where she had seen Huo Yao before. Instead, she scratched her head and asked her. “Are you here for the matchmaking event?”
