loungewear.Wen Man was quite surprised. She had always thought he was living in an apartment or villa these days, but she didn't expect him to still live here...Ho Shaoting followed her gaze and look...Huo Shaoting's eyes were deep-set.

He spoke in a hushed voice: "Wen Man, let's talk about this at home."

She was stubborn and asked again, “Do you love me”

He frowned and didn't answer her.

Wen Man knew this would happen. Because she didn't love him and wouldn't lie, she couldn't answer.

The diamond ring in her hand slipped softly to the floor, making a faint sound.

Just like their fragile and vulnerable feelings, they shattered without a bang like Joan's. It was a silent and subtle pain, one that only Wen Man felt forever.

Wen Man looked into Huo Shaoting's eyes and spoke softly.

" Huo Shaoting... I don't want it anymore!"

"Not all of it! I don't want it! Huo Shaoting, rest assured, I won't bind you anymore! And you don't need to use marriage to bind me! As I said before, you are free!"

"Now, you are free!"

……

Wen Man finished speaking and turned away. She straightened her back as she walked out, maintaining the last vestiges of her pride.

Leave with grace. ...

Who hasn't loved a few scumbags, who hasn't been deceived in love It's just a gamble and she lost.

It's okay, she can get up again if she falls!

But on her marriage certificate, the other half's name would forever be someone other than Huo Shaoting!

……

"Wen Man!"

Ho Shao-ting chased after her and caught her hand.

Wen Man forcefully shook it off.

He clung to her desperately. "Listen to me, I'm not playing with you! I..."

Wen Man couldn't let go.

She spoke calmly: "You're not playing around! You're just settling, you can't resist the white moonlight in your heart, you can't stand her being hurt even a little, while my feelings, my pain, you've never seen them!"

"Ho Shao-ting, it's over between us!"

Ho Shao-ting gritted his teeth and dragged her into his arms. "Let's go home and talk!"

Just then, a nurse in the ward screamed.

"Miss Qiao... Miss Qiao!"

Wen Man turned around, her eyes red.

Joanne's face was pale, her wounded wrists bleeding continuously, but she was smiling: "Shaoting, you can't let go of me! If you go back with her, I'll die!"

Huo Shaoting hurried over and pressed on her wound.

His voice was low and restrained: "JoAnne, how long are you going to keep this up"

Joan trembled her lips: "You know it!"

……

Wen Man just stood there, watching. She was very tired!

Their breakup meant she didn't have to go against her heart and move to France.

Now that they've broken up, she doesn't have to wait for him in the long night anymore.

Breaking up, actually, is pretty good!

Wen Man turned and left. She didn't want to watch that drama of lovesick men and heartbroken women anymore.

……

Wen Man left, but she still went back to Huo Shao Ting's apartment.

She meticulously dismantled the Valentine's Day party she had so carefully planned. The $50,000 decorations, Michelin-starred dining table, and pure silver candle holders... all gone.

That invitation from the French Conservatory of Music went straight into the trash.

After finishing all that, Wen Man tidied up her things and prepared to leave.

Just then her phone rang.

Aunt Ruan called, her voice choked with sobs. "Wen Man, come to the hospital quickly. Your father had an accident and fell... he might not make it… Your father wants to see you one last time! Come quickly, Wen Man!"

Aunt Ruan burst into tears, almost breaking down!

Her husband was left with only a faint flicker of consciousness, but he still clung to her hand, calling out Wen Man's name repeatedly, longing... to see her.

At the brink of death, Wen Ber-yan's greatest concern was his beloved daughter.

……

The world, before Wen Man, crumbled!

She dropped everything she was holding and practically ran downstairs.

It's still raining...

Wen Man slammed on the gas pedal.

When she was driving, her vision blurred, she couldn't tell if it was the rain or tears in front of her eyes...

She wants to drive faster!

She had to see her father one last time. She wanted to tell him she loved him, and she wanted to reassure him that she would take good care of Aunt Ruan... She also wanted to tell him he was the best father!

Wen Man's tears flowed freely!

The car roared suddenly...

Wen Man stayed for two seconds.

She ran out of the car in the heavy rain, opened the hood, and a cloud of black smoke billowed out.

My car broke down...

She didn't have time to think, she started hailing a taxi. But tonight was Valentine's Day, and everywhere were young couples returning home from dates, she couldn't get a cab at all.

Wen Man ran in the rain. There was a shopping mall ahead, and it would be easier to get a taxi there.

The rain soaked her clothes...

Mud splashed onto her shoes and pants...

Rainwater had pooled, and Wen Man stepped into a small pothole, tumbling onto the road.

When he stood up again, his heels throbbed with pain, so intense that he couldn't walk...

She frantically waved down the cars, but no one was willing to take her... One car after another passed her by, the floodwater gushing toward her crazily.

Wen Man forgot her pride, she took out her phone and dialed Huo Shaoting's number——

Joan's hospital is nearby, maybe he could give her a ride.

She only wanted to see her father one last time.

I'm sorry! The user you have called has switched off. Please try again later.

……

In the rainy night, Wen Man gently closed her eyes.

This is a night of utter darkness!

A black sports car suddenly stopped beside her, and a tall figure leaped out of it.

It's Jiang Rui!

Jiang Rui ran over in the rain and scooped up Wen Man: "How are you here"

Under the cover of night, Wen Man's face and lips were pale.

She trembled, "Jiang Rui, take me to Ren Ai Hospital!"

Jiang Rui didn't ask any more questions, placed Wen Man on the passenger seat, and soon started the car.

A high-performance sports car, streaking across the rainy night like a shooting star!

Ultimately, ultimately...

Wen Man still didn't arrive in time, Wen Beryan passed away with regret...

Wen Man, supported by Jiang Rui, walked step by step toward the bed. The snow-white sheets had covered Wen Beryan's face; he had left this world forever.

……

"Wen Man, say goodbye to your father properly! He can hear you, he hasn't gone far!" Aunt Ruan said with tears streaming down her face.

……

"Dad!"

Wen Man trembled, her voice quivering as she knelt before Wen Beryan.

How could this be… How could she just leave like that There were so many things she still wanted to say, so many places she hadn't taken her elders to, so much she hadn't accomplished yet, so much filial piety she hadn't shown him.

Wen Man gently lifted the white cloth.

She saw him for the last time.

This man, who is not related to her by blood, has given her so much.

To give her all of his love, he chose not to have children of his own.

He gave her his all....

Wen Man gently hugged him, closing her eyes and softly calling out, "Dad..."

Dad... I will live well.

I will take good care of Auntie Ruan.

I will often take her to see you and Mom. When I have time, I'll take Aunt Ruan out for a walk...

Dad… walk on, and don't look back…

……

Wen Man twisted her ankle.

In the morning, Jiang Rui took her to see an orthopedist.

After a thorough examination, the doctor's expression shifted slightly.

He knew Wen Man because a colleague's child was learning piano from her, and he also knew she was a very talented girl.

After some deliberation, the doctor spoke slowly: "Ms. Wen's foot injury is not serious. With a period of recovery, she should be able to walk normally and it will have almost no impact on her daily life, but because of nerve damage in her foot…"

The doctor paused for a moment before continuing.

Miss Wen may no longer be able to be a top pianist.

Furthermore, Miss Wen is best advised not to drive again.

"It's forever... um... I can't drive anymore!"

……

Wen Man listened quietly.

Perhaps on this night, she had lost too much. At this moment... she felt strangely numb!urant, when I transfer it to your name another day, it'll be a gift for Mianmian."Huo Xi flipped through the magazine and looked up, "Mom, how old is Mianmian Besides, children won't like the same thi...
