When Wen Li went back to the banquet hall, she walked in openly holding Huo Yuanchen's hand. When someone came to greet him, she didn't leave, but held his hand and waited by the side.

Later, Wilson also came over to greet Huo Yuanchen. Wen Li was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag, so she leaned close to his ear and told Huo Yuanchen what she had said to Wilson.

He looked at her deeply, but didn't expose her. When talking to Wilson, he mentioned Wen Li's "romantic encounter".

Wilson looked at his and Wen Li's tightly clasped hands in surprise, and asked him in the language of Country L, "Didn't you say that she is your girlfriend?"

Huo Yuanchen smiled nonchalantly and said, "It takes more than just money to get rid of a woman you're tired of."

Wilson understood immediately, looked at Wen Li meaningfully, and took the initiative to say to Huo Yuanchen, "Perhaps, I can help with this. As for the cooperation with Huo's..."

Huo Yuanchen clinked glasses with him and said, "You know, Huo's is managed by my father, and I don't interfere. However, I can be your introducer. You are welcome to visit Hai City."

Although Wen Li didn't understand what they were saying, she knew that Wilson wouldn't bother her for the time being when she saw them both clinking glasses with a smile. After the people left, she asked Huo Yuanchen, "Did you tell him for me? Is he willing to help me find out?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at her with an ambiguous expression and said in a light tone, "Love at first sight?"

Wen Li shook his arm gently and explained, "I have to make up a reason. What if he knows that the person I'm looking for is my brother and asks for a higher price?"

The more important a person is, the greater the price he has to pay. She knew this very well and did not want to show her cards right at the beginning.

Huo Yuanchen said, "He agreed. The condition was that Huo's company gave up part of the patents and gave him the sales agency rights in Country L."

Wen Li was silent for a while, then said with a little emotion, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble again because of my matter."

Huo Yuanchen said calmly, "Just remember it."

In fact, in addition to the arrangements made by the school, Huo Mingqi also gave him a task when he came to Country L this time. Huo's Group wanted to expand the market in Country L and needed to find a partner with influence in the local area. After investigation, he felt that Wilson was quite suitable.

This cooperation can be said to be a win-win situation. However, he did help Wen Li, and he didn't mind letting her know what he had done for her. It wasn't that he wanted her to repay him in the future, but at least, when they quarreled in the future, she would remember his kindness and not be so aggressive all the time.

Wilson acted quickly and sent a message to Huo Yuanchen a day later, saying, "The person you are looking for left Country L a month ago. As for where he went, I can't help you. However, I got the address of his roommate here."

Huo Yuanchen let Wen Li make her own decision. Naturally, she was unwilling to miss any clue, so Huo Yuanchen rented a car and took her to meet her brother's roommate.

Before leaving, Wen Li went to the dress shop. She couldn't bear to part with the bag, so she decided to bite the bullet and buy it back as a gift for Hu Huifen.

Unfortunately, when she went there this time, the bag had already been sold.

The clerk still had some impression of her and said, "Your boyfriend bought it. Didn't you know?"

Wen Li was a little surprised. "You mean the man who came with me to pick out the dress? When did he buy it?"

The clerk recalled and said confidently, "He bought it. He's so handsome, I wouldn't be mistaken. He came alone on the night you came to choose your dresses."

As he spoke, he seemed to have guessed something and looked at Wen Li with a bit of envy, "I know, he wanted to prepare a surprise for you, so he didn't tell you. He is really romantic."

Wen Li thought it was impossible, but she couldn't think of any other explanation. Michelle Yim didn't like this style of bag, and Huo Yuanchen didn't look like a filial person.

Is this really a surprise for her? How is this possible?

Huo Yuanchen doesn't look like such a romantic person.

It was a pity not to buy the bag she wanted. With this regret, Wen Li left the city.

The address Wilson gave her was a coastal city. Country L was not big, so Wen Li found a place in the afternoon. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. The landlady told her that the man had given up the lease a week ago, and it was very sudden, as if someone was chasing him for debt. He moved out and disappeared.

The clue that I finally got was lost just like that. It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed.

She spent so much energy and money, but the final result was back to square one. Her brother disappeared again without leaving her any news.

She thanked the landlord, turned around and raised her feet, but she didn't know which direction to point her toes. When she looked up and around, her eyes were full of confusion.

Huo Yuanchen couldn't bear to see her so distraught, so he reached out to help her and comforted her, "It's useless to be sad. If you can't find someone, you can't find him. You might as well think about the bright side. At least your brother is still alive. He just doesn't want to see you."

Wen Li was almost comforted by him, but was broken by his next words. She said unhappily , "Can you say something nice?"

Huo Yuanchen shrugged, "What I said is the truth. If you deceive yourself, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end."

Wen Li didn't want to argue with him, so he said, "Since we're here, I heard the water here is very beautiful, and there's even a patch of pink water, so let's go take a look."

Huo Yuanchen's eyes flickered, but he didn't object in the end.

But when they arrived at the pink sea, he stayed in the car and refused to get out, leaving Wen Li to see it alone.

Wen Li felt that it was boring to be alone, so she insisted on pulling him out of the car to go with her. He followed her to the beach for a while, but before he could see the sea, he refused to go any further.

Said, "Either you go and see it for yourself, or you go back now. Your choice."

Wen Li looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

"Then why don't you come with me? We've come this far."

Huo Yuanchen tilted his head, his eyes flickering as he said, "There's no particular reason, I just don't want to leave."

Wen Li thought about it and asked tentatively, "Then do you want to take a photo with me at the landmark?"

She wasn't sure if he didn't want to see the sea or didn't want to see the sea with her. She cared about this and wanted to find out.

Huo Yuanchen did not refuse, and took her hand and walked to the landmark together.

Wen Li glanced at the photo and was a little dissatisfied. "You should get closer to me. Look for yourself. In this photo, who can tell that we are a couple?"

Huo Yuanchen hummed and turned his head towards her. Wen Li was still not satisfied, so she pulled his hand and put it on her waist. The second photo turned out much better.

In fact, Wen Li was still not satisfied. Huo Yuanchen's expression was too serious, as if she had forced him. However, he was always very indifferent, and it was rare for him to cooperate, so she didn't dare to expect too much.

There are several roads next to the landmark. Wen Li forgot which road he took just now, but thinking that they all lead to the beach, he just picked a road.

After walking a few steps, you will come to a turn. After turning the turn, a large pink sea appears under your feet, which is very beautiful.

Wen Li excitedly called Huo Yuanchen over to take a look, but when he turned around, he found that his face looked very abnormal.
