hey were like strangers living in the same house. The sweetness of the past was gone, Wen Man sometimes even doubted if they had ever had such a sweet time!She did not interfere with his private life....In the hospital ward, people came and went at any time. Mingzhu didn't want to argue with him.

She knew it in her heart.

She wants out of this marriage, it's not going to be easy.

Mingzhu gently brushed her hair, her expression calm: "Alright, let's not blame each other! I have something to do this afternoon, let's get discharged first!"

After she finished speaking, she walked out first.

Lu Qian grasped her hand, his eyes deep and intense.

"At least let me treat you."

Mingzhu looked back at him quietly.

Lu Qian's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said in a low and gentle voice: "I didn't do well, you don't want to talk to me, but I'm still Shuo Shuo's father after all. It's impossible that we won't see each other forever, right"

Mingzhu knew his thoughts.

He wanted to nibble at her, bit by bit, softening her heart.

But if the heart is dead, how can one live

She wrenched her hand free: "Do as you please!"

……

The procedure was finished by Ms. Liu's office, and after it was done, she said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate that the company still has some matters to attend to, so I'll have Mr. Lu send you back."

The car is downstairs, Shuoshuo has already gotten in.

Lu Qian drove his own car.

Mingzhu sat silently in the back seat and gave the address.

Lu Qian tilted his head slightly: "Aren't you fond of sitting in the front"

She spoke in double entendre.

Lu Qian heard it, his face wasn't looking good but he didn't say much.

Thirty minutes later, the car stopped at a high-end apartment building.

A two-story building of 260 square meters.

The decoration is very meticulous and the view is expansive.

Lu Qian held Shuoshuo and went upstairs. Looking around, he couldn't help but think of that old apartment... His heart ached, and he couldn't help but kiss his son.

The little one is still weak after recovering from a serious illness.

Lu Qian held him to the children's room and placed the little guy in the bed. Even though it was late April, the child's feet were icy cold.

Lu Qian leaned against the bed.

He took off his jacket and put the little feet, shimmering like stars, on his own abdomen.

It's warm and comfortable there.

Xiao Shuo was selfish and wanted to be comfortable, but he was also angry with his father, so he sulked under the pillow without saying a word.

Lu Qian's heart softened.

He patted the little one's feet.

The child is asleep, their body temperature rises, and their little feet are warm.

Lu Qian gently put down his foot.

He sat beside his son, looking carefully at his eyebrows and eyes, stroking him with reluctance.

Lu Qian sensed her presence there, and knew she wanted him to leave. He spoke softly and gently, "Let me stay with him for a while, okay"

Words were uttered with utmost humility.

Lu Qian almost suffocated.

She didn't utter a single word of blame, yet every word was a condemnation.

After a long silence, he finally spoke. "I know!"

Mingzhu had already changed her clothes and was putting on her shoes in the hallway. Hearing this, she said nonchalantly: “I can drive myself! If I don't want to drive, I'll call a driver.”

Lu Qian watched her quietly.

Mingzhu put on her shoes and stood up straight. After a moment's thought, she said to Lu Qian, "Lu Qian, I let you come over because of Shuoshuo. I don't want him to live his whole life filled with hatred. I want him to feel... feel that his father still loves him! But between us, this is all we can have. Don't ask for anything else."

Lu Qian's face was pale.

He still refuses to divorce.

Lu Qian wanted to see the child, but she insisted on having a nanny present.

Their relationship had reached rock bottom.

Usually, Lu Qian would send her WeChat messages and talk to her about their child.

Mingzhu replies rarely.

He called her every night, until she got so annoyed that she had to answer. They barely said anything, but he insisted on calling each time. Mingzhu would hang up the phone, feeling heartbroken.

He acted like he was very in love with her!

At crucial moments, she's always the one left behind.

On a cool evening, she suddenly felt like having a drink.

The nanny was off work, Shuoshuo had already fallen asleep. Mingzhu took out a bottle of good vintage red wine, poured herself a glass, and stood silently by the floor-to-ceiling window sipping it.

She came from a wealthy family and had no bad hobbies in her daily life.

The most out-of-the-ordinary thing in my life was falling in love with Lu Qian.

Thinking of Lu Qian, even the fragrant red wine tasted bitter, rolling down her throat with a heart-wrenching feeling.

She couldn't count how much she had drunk, but the feeling of slight intoxication was pleasant.

My phone rang many times.

It was Lu Qian who called.

He always found opportunities and reasons to talk to her, but tonight Mingzhu didn't want to talk to him at all. After about two minutes, she could bear it no longer.

It must have been the alcohol, and it was nighttime.

Her voice was laced with seductive charm: "Lu Qian, can you just let me have a quiet day"

Lu Qian paused for a moment: "You've been drinking!"

"Yes, I had some drinks! Why…can't I drink Lu Qian, do you still think I'm the Huo Mingzhu who looked up to you and couldn't live without you No! Not anymore!"

Lu Qian was silent.

"You've had too much to drink! I'm coming over to take care of Shuoshuo."

He fell asleep!

……

There came a series of beeps from over there.

Lu Qian hung up the phone.

Míngzhū threw away her phone, her body softly leaning against the sofa, quietly lost in thought.

In the darkness, a small body crept closer.

soft and cuddly.

"Shuo shuo" Mingzhu was startled.

She put down her glass, not wanting him to see her drinking.

Shuo Shuo knelt beside her, patted her head, and whispered, "Mommy, does your head hurt"

Míngzhū's heart felt a pang of sadness.

Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of crying: "Mommy doesn't love me."

It's just that she went through a failed marriage, it's just that man didn't value them much. So what Compared to many years ago, things are so much better now.

At least she can give Shuoshuo the best life and the best education.

They live in a 260-square-meter house.

Other, unimportant.

Suo Suo felt she was lying. She had been drinking, so her head must have hurt.

The little one kicked off her slippers and ran to the bathroom, wringing out a hot towel. Then she came back carefully and placed the towel on her forehead.

The Mingzhu feels much better.

Xiaoshuoshui leaned against her in a dependent way.

He accompanied his mother in conversation, subtly asking, "Are you really getting a divorce from Dad"

Mingzhu had been drinking and was a little tipsy.

But she didn't want to speak ill of Lu Qian in front of Shuo Shuo.

She tilted her head slightly and mumbled, "Dad and I just aren't suited to be together, but he does like ShuoShuo."nying him.After a long assessment, the doctor spoke in a low voice, "Her recent strange behavior is very likely related to Madam Huo's sudden return... Children are very sensitive, especially when the...
