heart aching, a piercing pain that felt like a thorn lodged there. He wanted to tear it out, but he was powerless to do so!He didn't barge into the ward.He just watched Wen Man through the crack in t...He Shao-ting went to the study.

He sat alone inside, quietly smoking.

He's been so busy these past three years that he barely has time to think about Wen Man, let alone anything else.

Now take a moment to be still...

Back then, forcing Wen Man and Jiang Rui to cut off contact was one of his biggest regrets. That incident made Jiang Rui hold a permanent place in Wen Man's heart.

Even if it wasn't love, it was enough to make him feel uncomfortable.

He Shao-ting felt a bit down. The door to his study was pushed open, and a small brown curly hair poked out from the crack, barefoot, wearing a cute floral pajamas.

"Dad!"

Little Huo Xi rushed into his arms, coquettishly hugging his neck.

Ho Shao-ting placed her tiny foot in his arms and kissed it gently, asking softly, "How did you wake up"

Little Huo Xi was half-asleep and half-awake.

She leaned against him, whispering that she wanted her mother.

Huo Shaoting thought of the woman in the master bedroom, his heart skipped a beat... How could Wen Man, who was like that, let Huo Xi see her

He gently soothed her: "Mommy is sleeping in Daddy's room!"

Xiao Xi whispered, "I want to sleep with Mom!"

Ho Shaoting hugged her with one hand, gently rocking her, and telling her a bedtime story again.

In the dead of night, a man's voice was slightly hoarse.

So comforting to the heart.

Xiao Huo Xi fell asleep slowly in his arms. Huo Shao Ting knew that if he put him down now, he would wake up, so he wrapped him in a small blanket and held him, comforting him for almost an hour.

Late at night, Little Huo Xi went to sleep.

This little guy, he is the flesh and blood of him and Wen Man, he loves him very much.

Xiao Huo xi flipped over and hugged the carrot pillow.

Ho Shaoting didn't want to leave immediately and stayed with them for a while longer!

When he got back to the bedroom, he was taken aback.

Wen Man's hair was soaked with sweat, her forehead slick. The faint blue mark at the corner of her eyebrow was especially noticeable... she looked completely disheveled.

Ho Shao-ting stepped forward, bending down to look at her, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

He unbuckled his tie and let her go.

Wen Man gasped softly, her voice as soft as steam: " Huo Shaoting... you bastard!"

Ho Shaoting understands women very well.

He knew what she wanted, so he whispered in her ear, "Shower first, or..."

Wen Man embraced him and kissed him...

The air is constantly warming up!

The atmosphere in the bedroom was sultry. The man kissed her while whispering sweet nothings, "Call me Shaoting! Wen Man, call me Shaoting!"

Wen Man abruptly stopped.

She leaned into his ear and whispered, "I'll sleep with Huo Xi! Good night, Mr. Huo!"

She stepped back and patted his handsome face: "Mr. Huo, you taste this flavor too!"

Ho Shao-ting didn't stop her.

He leaned against the headboard, his gaze deep as he watched her get out of bed and tidy her clothes. He smiled faintly: "I didn't realize you had so much patience!"

Wen Man scolded him a pretentious scoundrel!

He Shaoting chuckled lightly, he was handsome and particularly good at teasing her, Wen Man almost couldn't bear to look...

She took a bath in the guest room and went to sleep.

Wen Man looked at the three characters and smiled faintly.

She didn't reply, and he sent another message {Come over and sleep with me! I won't do anything... I just want to hold you as we sleep. In the morning, I'll go for a run and bring you back a rose to wake you up!}

Wen Man had been entangled with him for several years.

She actually knows what he's thinking. He hasn't pushed because he wants to start over with her, to date her again...

She closed her eyes gently.

These years, whether love or hate, it has all been Huo Shaoting.

All are Huo Shaoting.

She didn't respond to him, and she also knew he didn't mind her silence. He was enjoying the chase... Living together wasn't a solution just because of Ho Xi; it would be rather pathetic if they settled their lives so hastily.

In future relationships, Wen Man doesn't want to live as someone worthless anymore.

Ho Shaoting wants it, he must pursue it, claim it.

How much, whether to give or not, Wen Man wanted to have the final say.

……

Early morning, Wen Man woke up to find a fresh rose on her bedside table.

She leaned in, gently stroking the petals.

This reminded her of when they were together, he used to give her gifts too, but she wondered how different his heart was then compared to now.

Wen Man didn't want to appear to be lost in despair.

After she finished washing up, she went downstairs and saw that Xiao Huo'xi was already up, having breakfast with her father.

Half sky, half earth.

As a father, he leisurely sipped his coffee and read the morning paper.

Wen Man came over, and Xiao Hoxi immediately wiped his little mouth clean. When scooping rice, he was much more polite as well.

Wen Man kissed her.

Ho Shao-ting put down the morning paper and smiled: “She listens to you very well!”

This sounds nice.

But Ho Siu-ting continued, "I also listen to you. I do whatever you tell me to do. If you say don't...anything, I'll listen to you!"

Wen Man bit her lip and whispered, “Don’t spoil Huo Xi!”

Little Huo Xi continues digging for food...

Ho Shao-ting's expression became serious, his eyes burning slightly: "Did you sleep well last night"

Wen Man ignored him: He knows it.

Last night was too ambiguous, she had no face to go with him to see Huo Xi off, so she stayed at home to tidy up, sorting the rooms upstairs. Since she moved in, these things have all been done by her.

At ten o'clock, she called Huo Mingzhu and invited her to go shopping.

The West Asia Group's anniversary is approaching, Wen Man still hasn't chosen a dress, and she also wants to invite Mingzhu to attend, as a way to relax.

Mrs. Huo is the ultimate VIP here, so when Wen Man and Huo Mingzhu arrived, everyone naturally cleared out of the way.

Wen Man carefully selected (the items), chatting with Huo Mingzhu along the way.

They inevitably talked about Lu Qian.

Wen Man didn't act as a mediator. She discussed parenting experiences with Huo Mingzhu, saying that although she had only been a mother for two months, her insights were more than Mingzhu's. Probably... Little Huo Xi was raised too meticulously.

Huo Mingzhu slowly put her heart at ease.

Wen Man picked one out for her, and she took it into the changing room to try on.

Wen Man sat on the sofa, sipping tea and waiting.

The store manager came over, looking a bit embarrassed: "Mrs. Huo, there's also a Mr. Gu who is one of our... I'd like to discuss with you if it's possible to be more flexible!"

Wen Man is easy to talk to, so she agreed.

But when she let people in, she realized it was Gu Changqing, with a rather beautiful girlfriend by his side.

Gu Changqing was also surprised.

He looked at Wen Man, and after a long silence, finally uttered a single word: "Back"

Wen Man nodded, smiling at them: "You do as you please!"

Gu Changqing wanted to chat with her for a few moments, letting his female companion choose her own dress. The woman was a second-tier actress with good taste and tactfully avoided interfering.

Gu Changqing sat down opposite Wen Man.

"I wanted to have a cigarette, but I took out the lighter and the pack of cigarettes and put them back down. I gave him a faint smile: 'It's been a long time. I heard your child with Huo Shaoting is four years old now!'"

Wen Man flipped through the magazine, hmm-ed, and kept a rather indifferent attitude.

Gu Changqing looked at her serene face, a little lost.

For a long time, he was madly in love with her, wanting to possess her.

But years have passed, and it seems everyone has moved on, except for him. He's even lost track of whether he loves Wen Man or misses the innocence of Huo Mingzhu...

Just when he was at a loss, Huo Mingzhu came out.

She didn't see Gu Changqing, only lowered her head while clutching the bodice of her dress and complaining in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, isn't this too revealing Maybe we should change to another one"

Wen Man didn't speak.

Ho Mingzhu looked up and saw Gu Changqing, her expression startled.

Back then, when he cheated and kept a mistress, the Huo family forcefully canceled the engagement. Gu Changqing's business suffered greatly, but now, years later, he has long since stood back up and is once again the suave Mr. Gu.

Ho Mingzhu smiled faintly.

She nodded at him.

Compared to her composure, Gu Changqing was shocked much more….

He had vaguely heard rumors about her and Mr. Lu from City C, initially disbelieving, but seeing Huo Mingzhu's appearance he believed it.

This once radiant face has been worn down by love.

had faded.

But, it also adds some feminine charm.

He once thought that Huo Mingzhu would never grow up!

But she grew up to be, he imagined, in a way that was... for another man!so strong, leaving such a young girl at home would be easy to take advantage of!How interesting!Lu Shuo's cooking skills are as exquisite as his bullying techniques towards Lu Xun. The dishes are very...
