f the car.Wen Man refused.He just picked her up, carrying her horizontally, ignoring her flailing limbs.He turned on all the lights as he went, and soon the villa was brightly lit.Wen Man was thrown o...Wen Man was very cold: "It's not necessary!"

She wanted to get out of the car, but Huo Shaoting was faster than her, blocking her inside.

He gazed at her with intensity, "I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have treated you that way, but Wen Man... please don't ignore me, and don't say those things to hurt me, okay"

Wen Man smiled faintly.

She looked at him outside the car and whispered, "Today Chu Lian found me. She said she wants to stay by your side. She said she doesn't want a title! Huo Shaoting, do you know how disgusting I am If you hadn't insisted on going to save her yourself and stayed in the hospital for those two or three days, where would she have the guts to confront me"

This is all his doing!

Huo Shaoting was clearly taken aback.

He never expected Chu Lian to be so clueless. After paying her medical bills and confirming she was out of danger, he cut off all contact with her and blocked her number.

He lowered his voice. "I'll take care of it, huh"

Wen Man lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "No need! I'll handle it!"

He Shao Ting thought it was just a squabble between women, and then Chu Lian would be driven away... He didn't bother to ask.

He was touched tonight and wanted to be with Wen Man.

He whispered, "Come to my room for the night. I won't do anything, nothing that would make you uncomfortable!"

Wen Man had no interest.

Even though she had the needs of a woman, she truly couldn't get past that mental barrier.

She directly rejected him.

Under the soft moonlight, Huo Shaoting leaned in, wanting to kiss her.

Wen Man moved towards the car.

She got out of the car from the other side, but Huo Shaoting quickly followed her and got in the car. He grabbed her arm and pressed her onto the back seat, wanting to kiss her…

Outside, a light cough sounded.

Then, came Ho Zhendong's voice: "What are you doing, Shaoting"

Ho Shaoting's body stiffened.

He looked down at the woman in his arms, his handsome face etched with a hint of impatience. …

Wen Man's slender throat tightened, her voice a little hoarse: "Dad, I'll walk with you."

Ho Zhen Dong was waiting for her outside the car.

He Shaoting loosened his grip and let Wen Man arrange him, getting out of the car.

Ho Zhen-dong, at one glance, knew that the young couple was not on good terms. He smiled and said, “Màn Màn, take a walk with Dad!”

Wen Man put on her coat and followed Huo Zhendong.

They have a great relationship, close like father and daughter.

After walking for a while, Huo Zhendong's voice softened with tenderness and affection: "We know you've been wronged, Shaoting...Ah, his past temperament is something we parents find difficult to control!"

Wen Man's voice was slightly nasal: "Well, it's a bit hard!"

Ho Zhen Dong patted her shoulder and accompanied her for a walk.

He actually knew that Wen Man wasn't happy. If not for the past marital bond, with children and a family now, why would she endure such grievances

……

Life is going smoothly.

A week later, in the evening, Wen Man was playing the piano in the living room.

The housemaid whispered, "That little Ai has come again and wants to see her."

Wen Man said softly, "Please let her in!"

Chu Lian, that student, was coming to the Huo Residence for the second time. She didn't dare sit down, standing beside Wen Man and cautiously saying: "Madam Huo, please spare Chu Lian's life!"

Wen Man continued to play the piano.

Xiao Ai sobbed, "Chu Lian was expelled from school. Your two bodyguards are always with her, she's suffocating and going crazy! Madam Huo, she has a pitiful background, I beg you to let her go!"

Wen Man stopped.

She looked at Xiao Ai and smiled faintly: "Tell her, as long as she goes back to her hometown, I won't pursue this matter any further!"

Xiaoi's face was pale.

She whispered, "Chu Lian finally got into B City. She can't go back; if she does, she's finished for life! Please spare her!"

Wen Man sneered: “It’s her own fault for being so unreasonable. Can you blame others”

still wanted to plead, but footsteps sounded at the entrance.

It's Huo Shaoting!

He looked grim and had no idea how much he had heard.

Xiao Ai begged him again, but Huo Shaoting didn't agree and let Xiao Ai leave first.

After everyone left, he leaned against the piano, a smirk playing on his lips: "Mrs. Huo, this is a society governed by law now!"

Wen Man knew he was pleading with her.

She lowered her eyes gently, her heart aching with a sharp pang.

"Feeling sorry for them"

"Mr. Huo, can you think of a way to keep her away from me Can you make sure she stops trying to call my husband"

……

Ho Shaoting stared at her.

After a long silence, he whispered, "You know I don't have feelings for her. Why do you do this"

He still felt she lacked some humanity!

He knew about Chu Lian's past.

The environment was terrible, and his upbringing was difficult to describe. Therefore, even if that girl had feelings for him, he thought as long as he didn't have any feelings himself, Chu Lian would never become a source of conflict between them.

Wen Man is being too concerned!

Wen Man continued to play the piano. After a piece, she whispered, " Huo Shaoting, I just want to protect the people I need to protect..."

Huo Shaoting gazed at her with deep eyes, staring for a long time.

He slowly loosened his tie and walked upstairs...

Dinner, I put Horsey and Unis to bed. They didn't speak the whole time, not even a word. Though they live under the same roof, they are more like strangers.

Wen Man no longer cared.

It is late at night.

They each returned to their rooms.

The corridor was dim and shadowy. Huo Shaoting grabbed Wen Man's hand. "Let's talk!"

Just as she was finishing her sentence, Wen Man's phone rang. She picked it up.

The bodyguard who was sent over called, his voice stammering: "Mr. Wen, that woman jumped out of the window on the third floor and broke her leg!"

Pop-up window...

Wen Man said calmly, “Take her to the hospital! Keep watching her!”

Ho Shao-ting snatched the phone from her hand, his voice heavy with urgency...

She has already been expelled from school. What else do you want

"Wen Man... Are you so cold-blooded Is this because you don't trust me, or do you not believe in your own charm"

"Or, was that how our marriage started in the first place"

……

He questioned relentlessly.

Wen Man was a little dazed, then she smiled faintly.

"Yes! I am cold-blooded!"

"I can't stand to have someone like this in B city!"

"Her life or death, I don't care at all!"

……

Ho Shaoting glared at her, his eyes filled with fury!

He walked to the end of the hallway, dialed a number on his phone, and briefed his assistant on a list of tasks.

The assistant was a little surprised, but went and did it anyway!

Wen Man stood under the hallway lights. She heard what he said, that he would restore Chu Lian's student status and take care of her medical expenses...

He left Chu Lian in City B.

At this moment, Wen Man was utterly exhausted.

She felt that she and Huo Shaoting were simply not on the same wavelength. The pain she had experienced, the fears she carried within her, were things Huo Shaoting could never truly understand.

The hallway chandelier, sparkling and brilliant.

Wen Man's face turned pale. She sent out a WeChat message: {“Retract, don’t watch her anymore!”}

After finishing the phone call, Huo Shaoting turned around.

Wen Man was gone. The long, luxurious corridor was left only with the chill of spring...

Ho Shaoting recalled his own words, realizing he had been a bit too forceful in his tone.

He didn't want to have a falling out with her, and he was willing to coax her softly, each taking a step back, so that Chu Lian's matter would just pass.

He knocked on her bedroom door: "Wen Man, open the door!"

After a long silence, there was still no movement inside...

She clearly didn't want to communicate with him.

Ho Shao-ting patiently waited for a moment before suppressing his voice and saying, "Open the door, let's talk this over properly. It's so late; you don't want to wake up your elders, do you Wen Man, come on, reason with me, okay"

……

She never came out!

Ho Shaoting stood there for a long time before returning to the bedroom...

Their marriage has hit rock bottom!

Their opportunities to meet were few and far between, Wen Man hardly gave him a chance, and he couldn't bring himself to ask.

When the night is deep and everyone is asleep,

Only his body and mind's desires told him he was deeply attracted to her, he still wanted her...g towards her.The bustling street, where people came and went, we met again, but everything had changed.He spoke, his voice raspy: "Do you remember when we used to come here for ice cream back in scho...
