Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 56 Turns Out She Can Be So Charming

From afar, she saw Huo Qinglin surrounded by a group of wealthy young men, his face alight with triumph.

Lin Banxia curled her lips slightly, no doubt he thought that after successfully proposing tonight, he could take the deed in her hands and revel in his accomplishment.

It was, of course, necessary to celebrate in advance.

"Qinglin..." Lin Banxia had already approached him, softly calling his name.

Huo Qinglin turned around, his gaze flashing briefly with amazement.

Lin Banxia had an excellent foundation—her skin was naturally snow-white, her features delicate and petite, teetering between innocence and allure. Especially after applying makeup, her whole being radiated an innate seductive charm. Those almond-shaped eyes, dark and slightly upturned, carried a subtle flirtation with even the most casual glance.

"Banxia, you're absolutely stunning tonight." Huo Qinglin didn't notice her dress had been switched because he didn't even know what kind of gown he had arranged for her earlier.

"Really? I just hope I don't embarrass you." Lin Banxia wore an expression of gentle obedience.

Nearby, people had already started praising Lin Banxia's beauty, commenting that Huo Qinglin was truly blessed to marry such an enchanting bride.

Originally, Huo Qinglin hadn't taken Lin Banxia seriously. Yet now, with others envying and admiring him for her beauty, he began to feel slightly giddy. His gaze towards Lin Banxia grew brighter, carrying more warmth.

His hand naturally rested on Lin Banxia's shoulder, his fingers idly tracing along her smooth, rounded collarbone, eliciting a wave of goosebumps from her.

"Qinglin, why don't you grab some food over there?" Lin Banxia took the opportunity to step away from his side.

Huo Qinglin felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, a strange sense of loss arising immediately.

Lin Banxia walked toward the food area, a cold hatred simmering in her heart: Huo Qinglin, revel in the moment—you'll find your pride dashed very soon.

"Quite the dress you're wearing. Just because you've attached yourself to wealth and power, you think you're untouchable, daring to wear such a flashy color now." Lin Shiyi had been watching her all along and followed her over, her tone full of mockery the moment she opened her mouth. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Lin Banxia had previously adhered to a fresh, natural style, with most of her clothes being simple and muted. Suddenly donning such an intense and wildly passionate rose-red color revealed the charm hidden deep in her bones, making her instantly radiant, dazzling, and striking.

Without turning to look at her, Lin Banxia replied coolly, "Don't delude yourself into thinking attending a banquet will make Mr. Huo take interest in you."

Lin Banxia had said this because, in her past life, Lin Shiyi's obsessive pursuit of Huo Yanting had been unforgettable.

She had staged suicide attempts, stripped herself bare trying to seduce Huo Yanting, and resorted to all kinds of desperate tactics, only to be rejected in disgust and sent abroad.

Lin Shiyi's expression stiffened as she stared at Lin Banxia in disbelief. "Who said I came here for Mr. Huo?"

What the hell? She had only mentioned this to her mother!

"No one needed to say it. I guessed. Am I wrong?" Lin Banxia sneered.

Lin Shiyi's eyes widened in anger: "Lin Banxia, you must have eavesdropped on me talking to my mother! You're truly a shameless wretch."

"Lin Shiyi, watch your words. Or else, do you believe I can make Huo Qinglin throw you off the boat?" Lin Banxia wasn't one to accept insults or threats, delivering her counterattacks coldly and decisively.

Lin Shiyi's face shifted dramatically. Though unwilling, she panicked and could do nothing but close her mouth and storm off.

Lin Banxia watched with satisfaction as her rival slunk away in defeat, a sinister thought suddenly flickering in her mind: She must negotiate a condition with Huo Yanting.
