hoarse: "Mingzhu, I can't give you a legitimate marriage for now. We can't even walk openly on the street together. We can't always meet in hotels; it would be too disrespectful to you. I know you se...Hu Shaoting guessed that she was truly angry.

He whispered into her ear, "Just a nobody. Worth making a fuss over like this"

It's so late, Wen Man doesn't want to argue with him.

She softened her attitude, gently embracing his waist: "I believe in you." Then she closed her eyes to rest, and after a while, her breathing became steady again...

Ho Shao-ting couldn't sleep.

He gazed at her delicate face in the moonlight, gently grinding his teeth.

Wen Man is really asleep!

After their little disagreement, she didn't seem to want to communicate with me or try to solve the problem...

Ho Shao-ting also has a bad temper.

She gave him the cold shoulder, and he stopped trying to appease her.

……

Good morning.

He woke up to find his bed empty. Wen Man was gone.

Outside, faint sounds of housework could be heard.

Ho Shao-ting lay flat, carefully recalling the events of last night. He felt that his relationship with Wen Man had become somewhat out of order.

There should be no arguments between them.

After understanding, Huo Shaoting no longer bothered. He got up, washed, and changed into his suit again.

Light gray shirt, black trousers.

He was wearing a business windbreaker.

He walked out, checking his watch, while Wen Man was setting the table.

The morning light shone on her, making her seem especially soft, but Huo Shaoting had seen Wen Man's temper last night. A rabbit in a hurry can bite, after all.

Ho Shaoting sat down, drank coffee and read the morning paper.

Wen Man made him a Western breakfast, an egg sandwich.

Ho Shao-ting took a bite and found the taste better than outside. He stared at it for a while.

Wen Man sat beside him, seeing him staring at the sandwich, she gently asked: "Is it not delicious"

Ho Shao-ting looked at her.

After a while, he smiled and said, "That's great!"

Wen Man didn't say anything, sipping her milk slowly...

Ho Shao-ting found that she was daydreaming again.

He didn't say anything, just took his coat and went out. Wen Man walked to the entrance hall and took out his leather shoes for him. That attentive service, on another man, might have been arrogant.

But Ho Siu-ting didn't think so. The more gentle and approachable she was, the more it seemed to indicate that they were drifting apart.

Wen Man is now treating him like a golden master!

Ho Shaoting couldn't say whether it was good or bad, anyway he wasn't very happy.

He looked at her, his tone slightly flat.

"In two days, I'm going on a business trip to the city. Will you come with me"

Wen Man was a little surprised.

She thought about it seriously and said, “Jiang Sheng has two classes this week, so she probably can't make it.”

Ho Shao-ting didn't insist, opened the door and went out.

Wen Man looked at the closing door, thinking to herself, "Does this count as a cold war"

Actually, their conflict wasn't as bad as it seemed. They didn't have a huge fight or anything. It was just that after seeing him on a date with that beautiful client, Wen Man couldn't treat him the same way she used to.

At the very least, she couldn't be intimate with him.

She is a human, not a machine.

Huo Shaoting left, and Wen Man cleaned the apartment inside and out, making it spotless.

In the afternoon, a pawn shop called her.

Wen Man quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, is there any news"

The manager over there apologized and said, "Miss Wen, I'm so sorry! That necklace of yours was bought by a middleman at the time. He didn't leave any contact information, and we tried every way we could to find him, but we couldn't."

Wen Man was a little disappointed.

After a long silence, she whispered, “If you hear anything, please tell me! I’ll pay double the price to buy it back.”

The manager comforted her a few words.

Wen Man stroked the hot phone, thinking to herself, could it be that she really was fated not to have a good relationship with her parents

In just a few days, she can redeem her mother's belongings...

……

After last night, Wen Man wants to find a job.

Huo Shaoting can be a part of her, but he cannot be her whole. Otherwise, when they break up, she will be stuck in the mud and unable to extricate herself...

Her resume is good, she can easily find a job.

But Wen Man wanted to take another look.

At noon, Aunt Ruan called her to go back for a meal.

When Wen Man got back home, she realized that today was her 24th birthday. Aunt Ruan had prepared a three-tiered small cake for her, as well as a table full of dishes and longevity noodles.

Wenber personally put the birthday hat on her, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I can come out to celebrate your birthday with you! From small to large, Dad has never missed your birthday."

Auntie Ruan patted his head, telling him to speak more carefully.

Wen Man's eyes were a little wet.

She went forward and hugged Wen Boyan and Aunt Ruan.

Maybe they weren't her biological parents, but they gave her all their love... At least for now, Dad is safe.

Thinking about this, Wen Man's grievance from last night faded a bit.

During a meal, Wen Boyer asked her about her recent work.

Wen Man hesitated for a moment and said, "I quit my job at the music center and am planning to look for another one."

Wen Boyan had no doubt.

Auntie Ruan seemed thoughtful.

After dinner, she called Wen Man into the bedroom. She closed the door and got straight to the point: "Did you have a fight with Huo Shaoting"

Wen Man didn't hide it.

She mumbled, "There has to be some work involved."

She didn't say it outright, but Aunt Ruan understood. Wen Man following Huo Shaoqing around like this, without any clear definition of their relationship, could only lead to heartache. And now that Huo Shaoqing still hadn't come to visit Beran, his attitude was obvious.

He was just fooling around with Wen Man.

Auntie Ruan quietly wiped away her tears.

She took out a passbook from the safe, inside was 5 million, half of Wen Bor-yan's savings.

Wen Man refused.

Aunt Ruan pulled her hand over and pressed it in hers.

Aunt Ruan's voice trembled slightly: "Back then, there was no other way! Aunt is sorry to you! Wen Man, now that you are with someone else... Although the Huo family has endless money, a girl always spending other people's money will make her look down upon! Try not to be too frugal in your daily life. Buy him some clothes, shoes, etc. ...Don't be too thrifty, lest others underestimate you."

Wen Man's heart was filled with sorrow.

Auntie continued, "I think you shouldn't look for a job anymore. Rent a room and make it your own music studio. With your skill level, I believe you won't do badly! Girls should still have their own careers after all."

Wen Man lowered her head to look at the passbook.

For a long time, she gently hugged Aunt Ruan: "Thank you, Aunt Ruan."

Auntie Ruan wiped her tears and said, "You mustn't tell your father about Huo Shaoting's matters! He wouldn't be able to take the shock with his health."

Wen Man nodded: "I know!"

She walked out, vaguely knowing that Aunt Ruan had cried alone in the bedroom for a long time...

Wen Man didn't return to her apartment until six o'clock in the evening.

Huo Shaoting is back, and Zhang the secretary is there, helping Huo Shaoting pack his luggage.

Ms. Zhang moved efficiently.

He Shaoting stood by the floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call, his tone was quite serious, as if there were problems with the case on the city side.

Hanging up the phone, he looked at Wen Man.

"The business trip has been moved up, it'll be about a week."

Wen Man originally wanted to tell him about the music room, but she realized it wasn't the right time. So she softly asked him, "What time is your flight"

Huo Shaoting's eyes were deep: "Two hours later."

Wen Man looked up at him.

She thought he must be really busy, too busy even to have time for a cold war with her.

Just when Wen Man didn't know what to say, Huo Shaoting took his luggage and told Zhang's secretary: "Wen Man will see me off at the airport."

Wen Man was stunned....

Ho Shaoting gently tapped her head: "Gone silly Now that you've changed your mind, I'll have Zhang the secretary rebook a flight."ing grumpiness. On the other hand, his beastly father did something truly heinous. Although he thinks Shen Qinglian is partly to blame for this!"Guang, save me!"When Zhang Fu saw Zhang Chongguang comi...
