Feng Lin's expression was calm, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Mrs. Huo knows me?"
The address of Mrs. Huo created a distance between them, yet Huo Tingxiao's expression still wasn't very pleasant.
"No, I must have mistaken you for someone else."
Mu Lan gave a slight smile, daring not to tell the truth, as it involved someone else's privacy. She had exclaimed in surprise just now because she was too astonished, and now she regretted it immensely.
"It seems I have a common face."
Feng Lin's remark was meant to diffuse the tension, but Mu Lan waved her hands in denial.
"No, no, President Feng is handsome and distinguished."
Upon hearing Mu Lan's words, Huo Tingxiao's face grew even darker, and he spoke in a lukewarm tone:
"We have other matters to attend to, please excuse us."
With that, he took Mu Lan's hand and strode off.
Meanwhile, Pei Zhao squinted his eyes, sizing up Feng Lin.
"It seems President Feng has a good relationship with the Huo couple?"
