A black RV slowly drove into the underground parking lot. As soon as it stopped, the driver immediately jumped out of the car and ran away.The dimly lit interior of the car,The man kissed the woman, W...The lights were dim.

They beat each other, drawing long shadows.

Their gazes locked, but neither spoke.

For a long time, Huo Shaoting's mind was filled with Wen Man's words——

He is still the father of two children.

He actually always knew that Wen Man was willing to reconcile with him for Huo Xi and Yun Si to have a complete family. Otherwise, given what he had done, she wouldn't be able to forgive him.

But when he heard her say things like she didn't love him,

He still minded.

Finally, Huo Shaoting spoke in a hoarse voice: "It's quite cold outside. Why don't you put on a coat"

He walked up to her slowly, gently helping her put on her coat and then buttoning it one by one.

Wen Man gazed at him.

She wanted to say something, but it didn't seem necessary.

Ding Cheng just watched them, at this moment her jealousy reached its peak. Why... why did Huo Shaoting, knowing Wen Man didn't love him, still love her so deeply

When Huo Shaoting left with Wen Man, she couldn't help but speak up from behind him.

"Mr. Huo, she doesn't deserve this from you!"

Ho Shaoting slowly turned his head back.

That face, under the light, seemed even more cold and aloof. His voice was cold and indifferent: "Miss Ding, you should be grateful that Wen Man has a kind personality, otherwise, do you think you could still attend such a gathering"

As long as Wen Man wants to, not to mention 500 million, Ding Cheng wouldn't even be able to get a single penny.

Dingcheng didn't believe it.

She lost to Wen Man in one round, but that was also when Mr. Lu stepped up his game. Now that she's filming a movie with Wen Man at the same time, she is confident she can defeat her entirely.

She watched the couple leave, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Just then, Bai Wei walked over, leaning against the wall with a sneer: "What, thinking of some more wicked schemes again"

She and Bai Wei were sworn enemies. Back then, she hooked up with Yao Zian, but Yao Zian cared more about Bai Wei's refusal to divorce. So she came up with the idea of using someone else as a pawn, only to end up losing both her money and reputation in the end.

That child was also sent away by her.

Bai Wei didn't care about her.

She knew that, with Wen Man's years of experience in the business world, Ding Cheng was no match for her!

It all depends on whether Wen Man has the heart for it.

……

downstairs, Huo Shaoting opened the car door for Wen Man.

She got in, but he didn't close the car door, just stared at her intently.

Wen Man fastened her seat belt and said slowly, " Huo Shaoting, if you want to argue, let's do it at home!"

Ho Shaoting's eyes were deep.

A moment later, the car door slammed shut.

After getting in the car, he drove a bit fast. Wen Man was actually feeling a little uncomfortable.

But she endured it.

Half an hour later, he drove the car to the apartment.

Since they were going to argue, neither of them wanted to disturb the children, especially Ho-xi, who was very sensitive.

The night air was cool.

They entered the apartment one after another, still remembering their passionate moments there last time. However, his heart was filled with anger now.

Wen Man was pinned against the door by him.

His voice was laced with suppressed emotion: "Wen Man, do I not deserve your love Am I not worthy of one more try"

Wen Man was a bit tired.

She whispered, "Change your shoes, and let's go inside and talk."

He won't let.

He still held her, his dark eyes fixed on hers.

Wen Man slowly sat up straight.

She looked at him and smiled faintly: "Ho Shaoting, you're really not like this! Do you know this for the first time Or do you think I haven't tried Yes, I am bound by this marriage for the child. What else can I do Looking at Yunsi being so young without a father and mother, or let Hsi be unhappy"

"Ho Shaoting, I tried my best to give you what you want!"

"You made me see a psychologist, and I went!"

"Even if you want another child, I'll cooperate!"

……

"Isn't this enough"

"Ho Shao-ting, is it your greed or mine"

"Ho Shaoting, is it you who isn't satisfied, or me"

……

Wen Man vented all the words she had been suppressing for so long.

"After all I've been through, my psychological expectations have dropped tremendously! But you're different. You still crave a complete love. However, Huo Shaoting, after so many years, I'm already riddled with holes. You can't let me go through so much and then be as innocent as a young girl!"

He Shao Ting's black eyes darkened even further.

He slowly let go of Wen Man, his voice hoarse: "Wen Man, is this what you truly feel You can never love me the way you used to, can you"

Wen Man forced a smile, which was even more unsettling than crying.

She doesn't want to argue with him.

Obviously, it was him who said he was willing to accompany her and stay with her for life.

But, how long did his promise last

Wen Man was very calm, and she spoke in a very calm tone: " Huo Shaoting, if you really want to find love, go find a younger girl. Find someone who is willing to love you!"

She figured it out.

Originally, only she was satisfied with such a plain marriage.

So, she was willing to let go.

Huo Shaoting's eyes became stern. He rarely got angry, rarely lost his composure.

A vase shattered on the ground, shards flying everywhere.

Wen Man blinked softly.

That lake-blue one was chosen by her own hand, the very day after they became intimate. She still remembers vividly the joy she felt while selecting these items to decorate their home.

He shattered it easily.

Wen Man pushed him away and left without looking back.

But Ho Shaoting pulled her from behind, dragging her into the living room with one hand before carrying her into the bedroom. He took off their jackets and leaned down to kiss her neck.

Wen Man thought he was about to lose control...

But after a long while, he just kept his head on her warm neck, murmuring, "Wen Man, you're never to say such things again!"

He will not go looking for the little girl.

He only wants her.

Wen Man turned away, her face pressed against the white pillow, her eyes red-rimmed.

He began to kiss her.

Kiss her eyelids, kiss the faint blue veins at the corners of her brows, kiss her body.

In the heat of passion, she bore him.

Ho Shaoting leaned into her ear, whispering softly, "Wen Man, shall we have another child"

She was pregnant, and they didn't have time to think about all that anymore; perhaps everything could get back on track!

Wen Man was not as optimistic as him.

Once she also thought about having another child, maybe they would be alright.

But now, a child can't solve their problems.

Wen Man began to take medicine regularly.

She said it's the kind you take before moving in together, less harmful to your body, and you can always have children whenever you want. She didn’t tell Huo Shaoting, afraid he’d overthink it.

She sometimes also thinks that, actually, the one who is sick between them is Huo Shaoting.

Days pass quietly.

That day's argument, they both tacitly avoided mentioning it again. They were still the envy of everyone as a loving couple, both at home and outside. Huo Shaoting was considerate in every way.

He had sexual intercourse with her.

At least five days a week, her body was possessed by him.

He wanted her to become pregnant. He became even more attentive to her menstrual cycle than she was, marking the days when it would be possible for her to conceive. On those days, he would hold her close, making sure they spent every moment together until he felt certain that it would happen.

Two months later, Wen Man's belly was still flat.

……

November.

Wen Man's birthday was a whole day of celebration.

At night, she took a shower and walked back to the bedroom.

At the foot of the bed, the sofa was piled high with gifts from friends and family.

Wen Man picked up a pink envelope. It was a letter written to her by Huo Xi and Yun Si, along with a very childlike painting. Wen Man looked at it quietly, thinking that the children's hearts were full of tenderness.

The bedroom door opened, and Huo Shaoting walked in slowly.

At this time, Wen Man opened a box, and the gift inside was very precious.

A green Imperial Longevity Lock.

Wen Man was discerning and estimated that this gift must be worth at least 50 million, and it was very rare.

The sender is...

She was lost in thought.

By the door, Huo Shaoting leaned there, watching her quietly as well.

The isothermal found him, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette, asking very faintly, "Such an expensive thing, who gave it to you"

Wen Man heard that there was more to his words.

She closed the box and smiled faintly: "No name!"

Ho Shao-ting's eyes were deep and penetrating.

He walked over and fiddled with the delicate box, his voice nonchalant: "Wen Man, I don't believe you don't know who sent it!"

Besides Gu Changqing, who else could have such skill

Wen Man's excitement about opening the gift had vanished.

She got up and walked to the vanity, slowly combing her brown hair. After a moment's pause, she spoke: "Shaoting, today is my birthday. Can we not fight I don't want any presents!"

Ho Shao-ting came up behind her.

He encircled her from behind, teasing her with his touch now and then.

Wen Man's breath was slightly disordered.

He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "It's your birthday, can you skip the medicine and do this with me"

Wen Man gently closed her eyes.

He got it!

Ho Shaoting's hand went around her body and took a small vial from the drawer.

It contains birth control pills.

He gently nibbled on Wen Man's ear, his voice incredibly soft: "Wen Man, I want a child! With this child, no matter what happens, we will get through it, okay"

Wen Man could no longer bear it, and she slapped the little bottle open.

The bottle cap popped open, and the pills scattered across the floor.

Ho Shaoting looked at her quietly...

After a long silence, he gave a bitter smile. "Wen Man, you always wanted my love in the past! But now I love you, but I don't know how to treat you, how to please you. You can't let me fall in love with you, and you don't want me either!"

"The one you love is always Huo Shaoting, who has walked with you for five years."

But, not me!

……

He said this, and then walked out quietly.

As she reached the door, Wen Man suddenly spoke, "Huo Shaoting! I don't know how much I feel for you anymore, but right now, what I'm willing to give and put into you, I won't give to anyone else!"

He was blind to her indulgence toward him from beginning to end.

Loyalty, exclusivity.

Could it not be her love for him

Wen Man felt very tired, very tired...things clear."After she finished speaking, she went outside and called for Song Yun.For a moment, Song Yun pushed the door open. She saw Zhang Chongguang looking rather excited, but his tone was still...
