Chapter 117 He Knows! He Just Doesn't Want To Give!
Gu Changqing" Back when they first entered university, she and Ding Cheng were actually pretty good friends, but because of Gu Changqing, they slowly drifted apart to where they are today.Dingcheng s...Wen Man was completely shocked by Jiang Rui!
She dislikes playing games in love, she just wants to be with someone she loves. Even if it's not Huo Shaoting, she believes that one day she will meet that person.
Wen Man ran.
She was scared off by Jiang Rui.
Inside the gazebo, Jiang Rui put away his levity and watched Wen Man's retreating figure with a stoic expression.
She had drunk half of the cocktail, leaving it there. The light pink color looked quite sweet. Ginger gently picked it up, his fingers lightly tracing over Wen Man's lip print left behind, then slowly drank it down with that very same piece.
There are quite a few girls like Joan in their circle.
It's just beautiful in a different way!
Wen Man is different. She has many advantages that other girls in this circle lack. Moreover, her background is good so she's not narrow-minded... She's simply the most perfect wife candidate in their circle!
Gu Changqing did not cherish it.
Ho Shaoting was busy picking up his self-esteem from his youth, perhaps he couldn't afford to take care of Wen Man!
A spark ignited in Jiang Rui's eyes.
< Shao Ting Ge… If you don’t know how to cherish women, I'll cherish them for you! >
……
When Wen Man entered the banquet hall, she was prepared.
Jiang Rui said that Huo Shaoting was dancing with Qiao An, she thought the picture must be very beautiful, but thinking about it, the reality she saw was another matter.
A perfect match! And they work so well together.
He Shao-ting held Qiao An's slender waist, and Qiao An rotated in his arms...
The gazes of the elders around held a touch of regret, each recalling how well-suited the two had been back then. It was a pity they hadn't ended up together.
Wen Man watched silently.
She thought, luckily she wasn't too deep in.
Fortunately, they weren't truly engaged. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face this situation.
One song ends.
Both Huo Shaoting and Qiao An were slightly out of breath, and applause rang out all around them.
Joan, who grew up abroad, has a fiery personality and is outgoing. She kissed Huo Shaoting on the face in public: "Shaoting, we still work so well together!"
Ho Shaoting didn't expect her to kiss him, and was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly felt a different kind of gaze, so he slowly turned his body.
It's Wen Man...
She stood in the crowd, watching them, and didn't know how long she had been there.
As a couple living together, he should comfort her and soothe her emotions at this time... or explain something! But Huo Shaoting pondered for a moment, he had to consider Qiao Jingnian's face, and comforting Wen Man in front of so many elders was equivalent to announcing their engagement.
Ho Shao-ting doesn't want to be restricted!
He just stared at her, his eyes holding a meaning they both understood.
How could she not understand
He knew she liked him, and he knew even more what she wanted, all she desired was a committed, long-term, one-on-one relationship.
But he just wouldn't give it up!
At that moment, the music started again. The elders started cheering, urging Huo Shaoting and Qiao An to dance another one. Huo Shaoting wanted to refuse, but Qiao An smiled softly, “Are you afraid your girlfriend will be jealous Or have you forgotten me so much that you wouldn't even dare to dance with me”
He grasped Joan's waist again.
Joanne's dancing was graceful, and as she looked at Howard Shaoting, her eyes held ambition and possessiveness. It was actually quite attractive; for a man, it was a big turn-on.
But in Huo Shaoting's mind, he was thinking——
Wen Man's waist felt even finer in his hand, especially when he held it from behind. Every time, it drove him wild.
Thinking of those things, Huo Shaoting lost some interest in dancing. As soon as a song ended, he wanted to take Wen Man home and... do whatever they pleased with each other.
But Wen Man left early!
She politely bid farewell to Mrs. Huo, saying that she was not feeling well and asked her to arrange a car to take her home.
Mrs. Huo was on the verge of tears!
She is a woman too, and she knows her son's actions are terrible. They broke up years ago, why is he still acting like this! He ignores his serious girlfriend and chats with some foreigner's wife What's the point of that
Mrs. Huo couldn't leave, and she couldn't let others see her predicament.
She secretly asked Huo Mingzhu to see Wen Man off.
Huomingzhu was also angry.
It was supposed to be her birthday, but Joan came back and stole all the attention. It's so infuriating!
Along the way, she kept chattering about Qiao An, and in a slip of her tongue, revealed that Qiao An had slept with her own brother. Her tender face was indignant: "With this happening, there's no way she can enter our Huo family! Don't worry, Wen Man... My mom dislikes her the most!"
Wen Man looked at Huo Mingzhu.
She is such an innocent girl, that's why Huo Shaoting dotes on her so much and is unwilling to tell her about Gu Changqing's darkness...Even I can't dislike her, and I even have a bit of fondness for her.
Wen Man let out a soft sigh.
In fact, she can't even get into the Huo family's gate!
She didn't say any of that. Instead, she took a small, elegant box out of her bag and placed it in Huo Mingzhu's hand.
Wen Man said sincerely, "Mingzhu, happy birthday."
Huo Mingzhu was usually carefree, but at this moment she felt a pang of sadness. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "You're not going to break up with my brother, are you"
Break up
Wen Man smiled, she softly said no.
Because there was no breaking up between her and Huo Shaoting, only ending the relationship.
Huo Mingzhu didn't understand any of this. She watched Wen Man get into the car herself and happily went back to the main house with her gifts. As soon as she entered, she ran into Huo Shaoting.
"Where is Wenman"
Ho Mingzhu curled her lips: "You scared him away!"
She held up the box in her hand: "A gift from Wen Man!"
She couldn't wait to see what it was, so she sat down on the sofa and started unwrapping the box. Huo Shaoting had originally wanted to leave, but for some reason he also wanted to see what Wen Man had given Mingzhu.
She didn't say that she sent it alone……
The box opened to reveal not precious jewels and trinkets.
A yellow amulet for peace.
Beneath the weight lay a handwritten copy of Buddhist scriptures. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be personally copied by the head master of Lin Yin Temple. Such a precious gift must have taken Wen Man countless efforts and heart to acquire.
Huomingzhu's lips trembled slightly.
She said softly, "This is the best gift I've ever received!"
Huo Shaoting reached out and patted his sister's head, letting out a soft "hmm": "Mingzhu will surely be safe and sound every year." After that, he took the car keys and walked towards the parking lot.
……
Wen Man returned to her apartment at around 10 o'clock.
She took off her makeup and had a bath, wrapped in a black silk robe standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. She rarely took the initiative to drink, but tonight she wanted to have just a little bit.
When she was slightly tipsy, Wen Man wanted to call it a night.
It's over with Huo Shao Ting!
It's just a matter of whether this relationship ends or not, it's best to listen to him after all. Since her father's case hasn't officially gone to court yet, she can't afford to offend him too much.
Wen Man thought a lot and planned a lot.
Later, a heavy feeling settled in her heart. She opened the piano and played a piece titled "Clair de Lune".
Ho Shaoting opened the door and saw Wen Man sitting there playing the piano.
There were no tears, no hysterics, only a touch of sadness in the music, but even that sadness was extremely restrained.
This is Wen Man, and she and Qiao An have completely opposite personalities...
The piano music stopped abruptly.
Wen Man turned her head to look at Huo Shao Ting, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Welcome back"t the domestic staff to hear.She proactively made coffee.The coffee was brewed and placed down. The two of them sat close together. Mrs. Huo took out a photo and gave it to Wen Man: "This is someone...
