a dream.When he woke up, Ho Shao-ting was gone. He was on a business trip to Hong Kong.Wen Man put on a robe and walked to the window.Night rain, making autumn's mood even deeper.Wen Man felt a littl...Jiang Rui chose a very nice Italian restaurant.

Wen Man drove over and arrived right at eight o'clock.

Jiang Rui was waiting for her in the parking lot. As soon as her car stopped, he gallantly opened the door for her.

"It's not easy to ask you out for a meal."

Wen Man got out of the car and held the car door, smiling: "The day before yesterday, I was still teaching Jiang Sheng piano at your house. Lawyer Jiang invited me to dinner, but you weren't there!"

Jiang Rui stared intently at her.

Then, slowly he spoke: "You know what I want isn't that."

Wen Man hesitated for a moment, but still handed him the tray.

She said, "Jiang Rui, you know my situation, we're not a good match."

Jiang Rui still stared at her.

The atmosphere was slightly oppressive, and this was the first time Wen Man had felt that pure masculine aggression from Jiang Rui. Although he hadn't done anything, she felt immense pressure.

Jian Rui suddenly laughed easily.

He lowered his head and murmured softly, like a love song: “It’s just a meal. Wen Man, you’re under so much pressure. After this, I won’t dare to ask you out again.”

He gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder: "This meal is to celebrate your career success."

Jiang Rui was really likeable, Wen Man couldn't help but smile.

She closed the car door and walked into the restaurant side by side with Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui had booked a table specially, but unfortunately, Huo Shaoting was also eating here.

He dined with a woman in her fifties who appeared very well-dressed. His manner was courteous and respectful, suggesting she was likely a familiar elder.

Jiang Rui also knew him and gave a simple greeting.

Huo Shaoting raised his eyes, first looking at Jiang Rui, and then his gaze slowly shifted to Wen Man.

Wen Man wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Indeed, Huo Shaoting took a napkin to wipe his lips and said slowly, “Teacher Wen lives alone, without any constraints. It should be quite convenient for her to date.”

Jiang Rui raised an eyebrow.

Hee hee!

That's so sarcastic!

He supported Huo Shaoting's chair back and smiled: "Shaoting ge is also living alone, it should be quite convenient!"

He narrowed his eyes.

Ginger smiled.

Even the most tactful elders present could sense the atmosphere. One of them spoke softly, "Shaoting, who is this young lady"

Ho Shao-ting and Wen Man were in a cold war, naturally he wouldn't admit that she was his girlfriend out of face.

He gave a faint smile, intending to brush it off.

Jiang Rui blinked and pursed her lips sweetly, "Aunt Xin, this is my friend Wen Man. What do you think"

How would a wealthy housewife know these things

She smiled, “It’s pretty good!”

"Speaking of which, he told Huo Shaoting again, “Your mother mentioned last time that you have a girlfriend, and she’s a rabbit, just like the master said. I'll ask her to dinner another day."

Ho Shao-ting: ...

Jiang Rui: ...

Fortunately, in front of their elders, they still restrained themselves and didn't resort to violence or turn red in the face at the restaurant. Besides, Jiang Rui respected Wen Man and didn't want to embarrass her.

Huo Shaoting left soon after.

Wen Man relaxed. During the meal just now, she always felt that Huo Shaoting was staring at her.

"You still have feelings for him!"

Then I heard Jiang Rui's voice.

Wen Man was stunned.

Jiang Rui's narrow, peach blossom eyes were close at hand, charming and alluring.

His voice was also husky and seductive: "Last time I said to try me, you'd see a different Ho Shaoting. You see, he almost punched me in that high-class restaurant just now!"

Wen Man lowered her eyes.

She and Huo Shaoting are practically over, there's no point discussing this.

Jiang Rui smiled and said no more.

He was courteous and knew how to handle himself well in social situations.

Wen Man feels very comfortable being with him and she feels completely relaxed. She cherishes Jiang Rui as a friend.

He always stands up for himself when he needs to.

After dinner, Jiang Rui suggested going for a walk to aid digestion and watching a good movie if they found one.

Wen Man felt it was too ambiguous, so she declined.

Under the street lamp, Jiang Rui supported the car door and sent her to the car, with a light smile: "You're really on guard, Teacher Wen!"

Wen Man fastened her seatbelt.

She looked up at him and said softly, "I value our friendship, which is why I can't take things further."

Jiang Rui stared at her for a long time, without speaking, and finally stepped back to let her drive.

Wen Man's car drove away, Jiang Rui slightly hooked his lips.

Friendship……

He, Jiang Rui, only wants to marry her and have children with her...

* Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Wen Man slowly drove the car back to the small apartment.

Under a tree, a golden Continental was parked there.

Ho Shaoting was wearing formal clothes and leaning against the car door, smoking.

Luxury cars, dapper and sophisticated men.

eye-catching.

The little girl passing by, giggled and tried to get the man's attention, but Huo Shaoting only kept his eyes on Wen Man.

She walked closer...

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, his cheeks sunken from the force, his features even more defined and alluring in the dappled shade. Wen Man never doubted it; if Huo Shaoting wanted to go out and play around with dates, he'd have no trouble finding them.

His appearance was truly exceptional.

Wen Man walked closer: "Mr. Huo, is something the matter"

Ho Shao-ting flicked his cigarette butt onto the ground and stamped it out.

"Would you like me to come up and sit"

Wen Man remained still, and after a long time, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to If you do, we can go to a hotel."

Ho Shao-ting frowned.

"You live right here, don't you You said you were going to the hotel"

He remembered Wen Man disliked hotels very much, and she was obviously angry with him now.

Ho Shao-ting lowered his posture: "Stop joking! You've been angry for so many days I don't have anything with her!"

Wen Man remained unmoved.

She looked at his car and said again, "Lawyer Huo, I'm not kidding. I don't have that right. I just think our relationship is more suitable in a hotel! ... Get in your car, and I'll take a taxi back later."

Ho Shao-ting's eyes darkened.

He stared at her for a long moment, then abruptly turned and got into his car.

After fastening her seatbelt, Wen Man sat beside him.

He Shao-ting purposely tossed a small square box onto the center console, then leaned over and said to her, "Stay at the hotel for one night. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed."

Wen Man turned her face away shyly.

He's such a jerk!

He Shao-ting looked at her for a while, seeing that she didn't speak, he also drove the car to a five-star hotel in a huff.

When taking the key card, the front desk girl could feel everything.

Dare not go out.

Ho Shao-ting took the room key and walked ahead a little faster.

Wen Man followed him, slowly walking into the elevator.

This was her second time coming to the hotel with him, last time he had been rather rough and she still had some lingering trauma from it.

The elevator was unnervingly silent.

Huo Shaoting stood with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless.

Wen Man thought to herself, what did he have to do with this.

Entered the room.

Ho Shao-ting wasn't as eager as before. He casually tossed the box onto the bed and then took off his jacket, throwing it at the foot of the bed...

"Teacher Wen, would you like to take a bath"

Wen Man followed him, pure and innocent. He was the only man she had.

At this moment, speaking to her in this tone, no matter what she was still feeling wronged. Her eyes and nose were a little red, but she pretended to be calm.

"No need!"

"Why not"

Ho Shaoting suddenly leaned closer, his slender fingers gently touching her cheek: "You smell of Jiang Rui all over. How can you go without washing it off"ncle Gu may not be able to give you New Year's red envelopes anymore. Take this one, consider it as all the red envelopes I'll ever give you, in advance."Li Siqi was stunned.Gu Yunfan smiled slightly:...
