hings to her."Pearl has already attempted suicide, so breaking up with her is impossible! Since we can't break up, let her have her fun and play around. When she gets tired of it, she won't be so enth...The cigarette trembled lightly between his fingers.

He heard Hsi's footsteps. She had put her high heels back on since resuming work, for formal occasions.

A crisp sound echoed repeatedly down the hallway.

also lingered in Zhang Chongguang's heart.

The cigarette burned down to his finger, almost burning his hand before he came to his senses and reached out to extinguish it. He didn't leave immediately, but instead sat alone in his wheelchair, silently gazing out the window at the scenery.

But he sat, and could see how far.

At most, it's from the previous half.

Even so, he remained stubbornly seated, unsure of what he was waiting for, or even what he was thinking about... He wondered what Ho Xi was doing, if she was engaged in lively conversation with that respectable man.

It wasn't until a sharp pain hit his heart that he turned to Qin the secretary standing not too far away and murmured, "Let's go."

Qin the secretary walked behind him, wanting to help push his wheelchair.

Zhang Chongguang's fingers tightened around the handrail, his voice raspy: "I want to walk by myself."

Qin, the secretary, slightly bent her waist and spoke softly, "Mr. Zhang, you've forgotten Dr. Zheng's instructions. He said you shouldn't walk for the next half month."

Zhang Chongguang didn't speak, but his fingers gripping the armrest tightened.

Qin's secretary knew she couldn't stand against him, so she could only take a step forward and reach out her hand for Zhang Chongguang to support... He gripped her arm tightly, making it hurt, showing how much pain he was in the moment he got up from his wheelchair.

For a moment Zhang Chongguang steadied himself, and Qin's secretary lightly said, "Let me help you into the car!"

"No!"

Qin's secretary didn't dare to take it lightly. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The car is parked in the open parking lot, and it's raining outside now..."

Zhang Chongguang stood straight, but his body was abnormally stiff.

Qin the secretary knew he had spoken out of turn.

After a long silence, Zhang Chongguang suppressed his voice and said: “Are you afraid I’ll fall Do you think of me as a cripple in your heart”

Qin's secretary sighed inwardly.

She really tried her best to coax him: "How could that be! Doctor Zheng said as long as you stick to your rehabilitation, you can recover to how you were before..."

Zhang Chongguang interrupted her: "Can it recover to seven or eight out of ten"

His tone was a little bit sarcastic.

Qin's secretary was exasperated. Her boss had been strangely off lately, making snide remarks with increasing frequency. It all seemed to have started when Lawyer Huo returned to the country! She thought to herself, wondering if he had a medical condition in his leg or his mind.

She reluctantly let go, but she remained close behind to protect him.

"I don't need you watching me!" Zhang Chongguang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head as he said this.

Secretary Qin had no choice but to go back and push the wheelchair.

Zhang Chongguang had slowly walked to the entrance of the business club. Outside, it was raining as Qin's secretary had said, a continuous drizzle that fell like fine needles, and the ground was already wet and glistening.

His car was parked just a short distance away, only 10 meters.

But the ground was slippery.

Behind him, Qin's secretary's worried voice came: "Mr. Zhang, let me support you."

Zhang Chongguang said no, he just held himself up like that, putting almost all his strength on his right leg... But even though he tried to make himself look normal, how could it be the same

A very obvious difference.

The rain kept falling, Zhang Chongguang trudging on ahead with a stubborn determination. Qin the secretary followed behind him, unable to control the tears welling up in her eyes. Her eyelids were hot, as if all her emotions were about to spill over, but she had to hold back. Because she was just a secretary, she could only obey her superiors unconditionally.

Before him, Zhang Chongguang finally walked to the car.

He panted, leaning on the car door. In fact, his left leg was trembling incessantly, the pain excruciating.

The driver is taking a nap.

Qin, the secretary, hurried over, not minding that the rain soaked her skirt. She opened the car door for Zhang Chongguang... The driver jumped and quickly got out of the car to help him into the car, apologizing repeatedly: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I didn't see you for a moment."

Mr. Zhang has a bad temper, but the salary is high enough to support his family.

He doesn't want to lose his job.

Zhang Chongguang didn't blame anyone. He moved himself to the backseat with difficulty, his expression calm: "It's okay, drive!"

The driver greeted them again.

He helped Qin's secretary put the wheelchair in the car and then quietly asked Qin's secretary to say a few nice words for him. Qin's secretary whispered, "Just drive, don't waste time with this. Mr. Zhang is in a bad mood today."

The driver knew she was the most agile, so after saying "okay," she went around to the front and got in the car.

Qin the secretary also got into the car.

Just as the car was about to drive away, Ho Xi came out with the gentleman from before. Ho Xi's car broke down on the way, and the other party was an acquaintance in the legal world who wanted to talk about a collaboration. He wanted to invest in Yingjie Law Firm, of course, this was only one reason. The second reason was that he was single, and so was Ho Xi. He wanted to pursue her by getting close to her through work.

Seizing the opportunity, the man naturally suggested, "I'll give Ms. Huo a lift! It's raining now and it wouldn't be good to take a taxi."

Ho Xi didn't see Zhang Chongguang.

She looked at the rain, then thought of her little Huo Xing at home, and nodded with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Lawyer Shen."

When Shen saw that she agreed, he was delighted inside, but a man of his age still knew how to be reserved. He smiled subtly without making a fuss and gracefully helped Huo Xi open the passenger car door.

Ho Xi was just about to sit down when he caught sight of Zhang Chongguang on the other side.

The car window was half-lowered, and rainwater streamed down the glass, those droplets sliding like teardrops of lovers in the rainy season, also blurring Zhang Chongguang's face.

He was watching her silently.

He didn't dwell on whether he had misunderstood, after all, they were ex-husband and wife… But Mianmian had whispered to him that her father rarely came to see them, mostly video calls. She wanted to see her father, but he was always busy.

He thought, they might not become husband and wife, but he still needed to consider the child's feelings.

She hesitated and didn't get in the car right away. Instead, she walked towards Zhang Chongguang. Even though Lawyer Shen was pursuing her, and even though the man across from her was Zhang Chongguang, Huo Xi's ex-husband, he still politely offered her an umbrella: "The rain is getting pretty heavy. Here, take this."

The other party had business dealings with his law firm and was a close friend of many years. Huo Xi couldn't refuse the request, so he took the umbrella over.

Zhang Chongguang remained in the car, his face expressionless.

Seeing Huo Xi come over, still holding an umbrella belonging to another man, he turned his head and looked at her silently for a long time before speaking: "Did you find someone This one looks good!"

He spoke plainly, but only he knew how much self-disdain lay beneath those seemingly lighthearted words. That man might not be the same Zhang Chongguang from before, but he was the Zhang Chongguang today that couldn't compare to him. At least he had a career and healthy legs. He could drive for Huo Xi, fawn over him, hold an umbrella, and even press the elevator button first for Huo Xi when waiting.

He, Zhang Chongguang, couldn't even handle such a small matter.

His left leg was weak, perhaps even unable to support him in bed, let alone compare with others.

Ho Xi didn't know about the rich inner turmoil within him.

She whispered, "Just partners."

Zhang Chongguang's uncontrollable sarcasm: "Partners in what way"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere became very awkward. Qin, his secretary, almost wanted to disappear into thin air... Even if Lawyer Huo really had found a man, this wasn't something Zhang, the CEO, should have said!

That's really sarcastic and passive-aggressive.

Ho Xi was also angry.

They hadn't seen each other in half a year. The last time they met at the airport, he was also quite calm and composed. He didn't expect this meeting to be like this. She pressed down on her emotions and said in a low voice, "Zhang Chongguang, can you not be so childish"

He didn't speak, his black eyes gazing deeply into hers.

Huo Xi didn't want to talk about children with him for now. She held her umbrella and took a step back, just as Lawyer Shen took a step forward. The two of them had a sense of standing side by side.

Such a well-matched picture stimulated Zhang Chongguang again.

He stared at them, but his words were directed at the driver, his tone dropping to ice: "Drive!"

The driver, also frightened, didn't dare to move an inch. He quickly drove the car away.

The black RV drove by slowly, splashing water everywhere, even wetting Ho Xi's dress... She didn't care, she just stood there quietly.

After a long while, Lawyer Shen whispered to her, "Do you still love him"e was still determined to leave him!After only a few steps, I saw Cheng Lü standing across from me. He looked no better than Gu Yunfan. He was carrying a bag of soy milk and a pancake in his hand.He r...
