is a little curious!It's been only two or three hours since lunch, so Wenman decided to measure the size of the living room floor-to-ceiling curtains and take some apartment photos. She planned to go...Wen Man finished asking.

Ho Shao-ting was clearly taken aback.

He slowly let go of Wen Man, stood there quietly smoking.

Wen Man knew this would happen, but she was still a little sad.

She got up gently.

After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Huo Shaoting, all you want is a physical relationship! But I want love, and even marriage. So you see, we're not compatible. The passion will burn out in the end, leaving only resentment. Why bother"

He gazed at her in the darkness.

Wen Man's little face was pale white, and her eyes were a little red, making her look like a cute little rabbit.

Ho Shaoting pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Wen Man, I admit that before you, I did equate feelings with work! Putting in a certain amount of money and effort and then getting a return... I didn't think there was anything wrong with that!"

"But I don't just want to sleep with you."

Otherwise, I wouldn't keep bothering you, would I

Wen Man looked at him, she knew he hadn't gotten to the point yet.

Indeed, Huo Shaoting's gaze was profound.

He spoke softly: “Wen Man, I don’t know where our path will lead. But my feelings for you are real, and I have never entangled with women before. You are the first.”

Wen Man lowered her eyes.

He Shao-ting did not deceive her, nor did he utter any sweet nothings.

He lightly tapped her chin: "Wen Man, I like you."

But, not to the extent of love.

His love, burning too intensely in his youth, hasn't been rekindled to the point where he feels that gut-wrenching feeling for a girl.

He likes Wen Man. He is indeed unhappy because they had an argument recently.

But it's far from keeping me up at night.

>More... is the discomfort caused by a disrupted pace of life.

He shouldn't have said those things to her. Any girl who heard them wouldn't want to reconcile with him, but Huo Shaoting felt a certain tenderness towards Wen Man.

He doesn't want to lie to her!

Ho Shaoting stepped back.

He looked composed, his features handsome: "Wen Man, I'm sorry! I can't give you what you want!"

Includes marriage, includes children!

A fierce night wind...

Wen Man felt cold, she gently pulled her coat closer.

She looked at Huo Shaoting under the moonlight.

Before all that embarrassment and anger, it seemed to have vanished from her instantly.

She likes Huo Shaoting, but she thinks they didn't meet at the right time. They both have emotional scars and don't trust each other.

Wen Man stepped back.

She smiled faintly: "Lawyer Huo, drive carefully on the way back."

Ho Shao-ting's gaze was somewhat profound.

He nodded curtly and got into the car.

But he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he lit another cigarette, took a puff, and looked up to see Wen Man was still there. He shifted his chin slightly: "Go upstairs! It's cold at night."

Wen Man looked at him deeply, with one last glance.

She suddenly turned and left.

Ho Shaoting slowly moved the cigarette away from his lips and stared blankly at her back...

Over the years, Wen Man has been the only woman who has captured his heart.

If there were no disagreements, he hoped they could live together for a long time. He also knew that the reason they had come to this point was because of him.

He knew of her affections at first glance.

But when she asked him, with tear-filled eyes, if he loved her...

He gave up on this relationship!

He didn't want to entrust his future to a woman again, nor did he want to taste the bitterness of betrayal once more, even though he knew that Wen Man wouldn't do that.

Ho Shaoting sat in the car for a long time.

He spent some time processing, digesting the aftereffects this relationship left him with...

*

Before long, two months passed...

A lot has happened these two months. Wen Man and Sister Li successfully took over the music center, becoming the largest music training center in the city. Their career is doing very well.

Wen Boyan's case also went to court last month.

Wen Man has met Huo Shaoting once.

They exchanged a few words, all about business. His attitude was cold and distant, as if they had never shared those passionate nights...

Wen Man was the same.

Later, the court ruled that Wen Bo-yan was not guilty.

Wen Man hesitated for a long time, but still sent a WeChat message.

Thank you, Mr. Huo.

……

On the third day, Ho Shaoting finally replied.

Wen Man, looking at the three words, thought of Huo Shaoting when she first met him.

He's skillful and has a hidden passion.

She smiled lightly, and then didn't think much of it...

At the beginning of December, Bai Wei invited her out for a meal.

Wen Man arrived at the place and looked around, "Now that you've returned to childhood, shouldn't someone your age be eating adult food"

Bai Wei let out a derisive laugh.

She whispered, “Wen Man, I’ve been really wanting a child lately.”

Wen Man knew Bai Wei's situation —

Yao Zian is still playing outside, he's just giving Bai Wei face by not bringing him home.

Wen Man gently stirred her milk tea.

After half a day, he finally asked, “Are you sure”

Bai Wei was dazed for a moment, then said, "Wen Man, you know I haven't worked much after marrying him. I can't live without him... As for the people around him, I don't care!"

She looked at her stomach: "Maybe if I had a child, he would settle down."

Wen Man gently clasped her hand.

"Bai Wei, would you like to work at my place"

Bai Wei shook her head and smiled: "I'll pass. I wouldn't want to mislead the young ones!"

Wen Man didn't insist.

Bai Wei suddenly coughed lightly: "Tomorrow night, my wedding anniversary with Yao Zi'an, why don't you go out and have fun, Wen Man!"

Wen Man hesitated a little.

After all, Yao Zian and Huo Shaoting are both in the same circle. Will they bump into each other then

Bai Wei confidently assured, "No way! Huo Shaoting hasn't attended a single social gathering in the past two months. He's been living like a monk, and besides, Yao Zian doesn't have that much influence to get him."

She said that, Wen Man readily agreed.

Bai Wei gossiped again.

"Wen Man, you know, Qiao An went back to England! Yao Zi'an once let it slip that Qiao An got into a fight with her fiancé's mistress. The mistress was quite good at fighting and beat Qiao An up and sent her to the hospital."

Wen Man was stunned.

Bai Wei's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.

"One thing beats another!"

"I heard that the mistress is still a maid from the Qiao family."

"I guess that side is pretty open, and men would probably like it."

……

Bai Wei was talking and talking, and it became midnight.

Wen Man dared not listen any further: "I have something to do later, I'll go first."

Bai Wei said unconvinced, "Don't forget tomorrow night, I'll send you the place via WeChat."

Wen Man waved her hand.

She took the matter to heart and the next evening, she returned to her apartment and deliberately changed into a different dress.

He wore a light overcoat.

Wen Man styled her brown hair into an updo, which looked ethereal and elegant.

But the moment she stepped into the private room, all eyes turned to her, silent and unmoving.

Wen Man felt quite strange.

When she recovered her sight, she saw a person sitting in the corner —

Ho Shao-ting!

He was wearing tailored tweed trousers, with a deep blue shirt.

It is obvious that he/she came from a formal occasion.

Wen Man's scalp felt tight, she looked at Bai Wei...

You, no, is, say, he, no, will, come, ofis small circle, his status was different. Although they were all rich second-generation who enjoyed eating, drinking, and playing, they were all very aware of their own standing.To speak of playing t...
