r hand.Ho Xi whispered, "I haven't changed my clothes yet!"Zhang Chongguang didn't look back, but his tone was quite pleasant: "Then go change your clothes quickly! I'll be waiting for you in the car....Wen Man's lips curved slightly: "How do you want me to ask"

She said this with a hint of teasing.

Heo Shaoting stared at the faint smile playing on her lips, captivated by it. It was rare for her to smile in front of him.

Here we go again, so relaxed!

He didn't ask any further, leaning lightly against the back of the chair and tilting his head to look at her, his voice husky. "This was a job from before, I didn't see her!"

Wen Man softly hummed in agreement.

Ho Shao-ting still watched her, seeming to wait for something, but in the end, he didn't get what he was waiting for.

He couldn't say what kind of reaction he wanted from her.

Jealousy, or a fight!

But that's better than this lukewarm approach!

Ho Shao-ting's mood sank again. On the one hand, his grandmother had passed away at home, and on the other hand, Wen Man's attitude made him feel restless for the first time in a long while. But he told himself——

A man should keep his cool!

He wanted to start over with her, naturally putting more effort into it than before.

The master bedroom in the villa has a walk-in closet. Huo Shaoting prepared some new clothes for Wen Man, all of which were from niche brands she usually loved to wear, and some were even duplicates of what she already had in her wardrobe!

She always brought work with her, so he gave her a study.

Ho Shaoting's considerate thoughts, Wen Man could always feel them.

Although she didn't respond, she was willing to coexist peacefully with him, so she would tolerate some of his moods. For example, after dinner, he insisted on going to the audiovisual room to watch a movie.

Wen Man closed the file.

When she stood up, Huo Shaoting naturally took her fingertip. That light touch seemed more moving than all the lingering memories of the past!

In Wen Man's memory, Huo Shao Ting rarely had such tenderness.

He prefers to climax in bed.

Wen Man was clearly startled.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him. Huo Shaoting gently pulled her over, lightly taking her shoulder: "I put on a horror movie and turned off the lights. You'll definitely be scared in a while!"

Wen Man smiled faintly: "Is that so Really that scary"

Ho Shao-ting liked to see her smile.

He stopped, gently stroking her delicate cheek with his hand, and said in a low voice, “You look so beautiful when you smile!”

Wen Man felt a little awkward: "Aren't we going to watch a movie"

Ho Shaoting smiled, took her hand and led her downstairs.

Although it's just a home theater, it's pretty big, about one hundred square meters. In front of the curved giant screen is a set of reclining sofas.

In the dim light, he led her over.

He was playing a classic old film from the past, claiming it was a horror film, but it was more like a love story disguised as a horror film.

Ho Shao-ting was engrossed in his reading.

Wen Man turned her head to look at him.

In the pitch blackness, no one could see who was who, but Wen Man as soon as she turned her head, he caught sight of her.

"What's wrong"

He took her shoulders in his arms, and gently stroked her ring finger with one hand.

This action made Wen Man's whole body stiffen.

In the darkness, he chuckled softly: "Are you afraid"

Wen Man quickly denied, "No!"

Ho Shao-ting smiled again, gently lifting her into his arms and caressing her cheek: "Was the movie good"

"Not bad!"

Ho Shaoting didn't ask any further, he lowered his head and kissed her...

Wen Man was startled, clenching her fingers around his arm, but she ultimately didn't push him away.

The movie perfectly timed its climax to the point where the main characters' feelings were blossoming. The sound and atmosphere were both excellent. Ho Shaoting was deeply moved, whispering into her ear: "Can we"

Wen Man leaned against his shoulder.

Under the dim light, her expression was overly calm, but she didn't want Huo Shaoting to see it.

She whispered, "Don't be here!"

Ho Shao-ting inserted his finger into her hair and gently stroked her long hair.

He knew better than anyone else whether or not she was moved.

So the words tumbled out: “Don’t you like it here It’s so dark, I thought you’d enjoy it, after all, no one can see anyone!”

The air hung heavy with a palpable stillness.

Huo Shaoting thought to himself, actually, he should give them some more time. After all, what he wanted was her for life.

But she was always cold to him, which made him restless.

Everything that happens is natural.

Wen Man didn't refuse again, but she didn't respond much either. Occasionally when he did well, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh...

That subtle sound was like a shot of adrenaline to Huo Shaoting's heart.

He overstepped the mark.

He had taken her to the soundproof room once, and now he brought her back to the master bedroom, wanting to look at her in the light.

Wen Man embraced his neck: "Huo Shaoting, turn off the lights!"

But he was gazing at her intently in the lamplight.

Her skin was as white as porcelain, every inch of it perfect. The fine blue veins at the corner of her brow tempted him to kiss them endlessly. As he kissed that spot, his emotions surged: "Call me Shao Ting!"

Wen Man looked at him.

She couldn't help but remember that before their falling out, there was once when she called out "Shaoting" in a moment of passion. After being together for so long, it was the only time she had ever called him that name!

But she doesn't want to now.

Shaoting.... How intimate does it have to be to call you that

Wen Man remained silent for a long time.

If you don't hold out hope for him, they won't argue.

Just like this time when he went to England, she knew about it but didn't feel anything! She didn't care if he saw Joan or if they had a conversation.

After going through all of that, for the rest of her life, Wen Man just wants to love herself well.

In the end, things didn't work out...

Ho Shaoting wasn't satisfied with this kind of relationship. He desperately wanted Wen Man to respond to him, at least to let him know that she still cared about him, that there was some sort of presence of her in his heart.

Wen Man offered him kindness, but she didn't give him a chance.

He climbed down from her, flopped over to the side, and breathed softly.

Wen Man knew he wasn't feeling well, but to let her gently soothe him, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Halfway through her wash, Huo Shaoting walked in. Through the mist of water, his eyes were intense.

Wen Man was very willing to talk to him.

She wrapped a towel around her body and spoke softly, " Huo Shaoting, you're a successful lawyer and even more so a shrewd businessman. You should know the principle of cutting your losses! Look, you've always wanted me, and now I'm right in front of you, but you don't seem happy...Huo Shaoting, if this relationship makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy, why not just end it!"

She doesn't want to lie to him.

So far, she hasn't made any plans to spend her life with him.

She had never even considered revenge.

Their parting was amicable and graceful, leaving no ill will between them.

Wen Man smiled faintly at him, and said softly, "Huo Shaoting, what you want... I can't give it!"

He once said this to her.

Now it was her turn to speak.

The voice was light, yet it struck his chest like a thousand-pound hammer, hurting him terribly.

Huo Shaoting gently closed his eyes.

His voice was low and hoarse: "Wen Man, the fact that you're willing to tell me these things means you still care about me..."

Wen Man said nothing. In fact, they were all doing badly!ck, he gave her a cold look: "Get in the car! I don't want you to be implicated because of my illness, otherwise I will be punished even more severely."This time he didn't give her another chance, stu...
