still marry into the Jing family, but now it's impossible between us! The Jing family is a prominent and wealthy clan; how could they allow Jing Chen to marry someone like me"Wen Man stroked her face....After Qiao Jingnian left, Wen Man was alone for a long time.

By the time she attended the banquet, she had gotten herself ready.

Zhou Muyan brushed up against her: "That old man came to you again I wouldn't be surprised if someone had sucked dry his coffin money, making him need you to take care of him until he dies."

Wen Man passed over a glass of champagne: "At formal occasions, don't talk gossip!"

Wen Man knew his intentions. He simply wanted to stir up trouble with Huo Shaoting. She wasn't narcissistic enough to believe that a playboy like him was truly infatuated with her.

But since she took 20 million from Zhou Chuanren, she has to take good care of him.

Wen Man brought Zhou Muyan to a social gathering. She was graceful and composed, and the young man behaved himself perfectly.

In the distance, two wealthy tycoons were chatting.

Chow Chun-yan smiled and said, "Zhen Dong, brother, I spent these 20 million well. In just over a month, Mu Yan has completely transformed!"

Ho Zhen-dong echoed: "I think our Wen Man has matured a lot. When a girl encounters someone younger than herself, her maternal instincts are aroused, aren't they"

He also chuckled after that.

Zhou Chuanren's face stiffened: "Your family Wen Man"

Ho Zhen Dong looked surprised: "Old Zhou, you don't know Wen Man and Shao Ting almost got married, but now they have some minor disagreements and are still working things out!"

Chou Chuan-Ren's heart pounded!

Wen Man is really good, but can her child compare to Huo Shao Ting He's the recognized ruthless character in the legal world, wanting something and getting it is never a problem!

But he was also a proud man, so he gave a hearty laugh: "Chasing a girlfriend is all about skill!"

Ho Zhen Dong raised his glass.

As soon as they mentioned the leading actor, he appeared.

Ho Shao-ting's unannounced visit tonight, coupled with his special and sensitive identity, drew many curious glances.

As Wen Man turned around, she saw him.

She wore a pure white dress.

He wore a classic black and white suit.

At their best age, at their most beautiful faces, they looked across the crowd... For that moment it seemed as if everyone else had vanished, and all sounds were stilled.

Ho Shaoting slowly stepped forward and stood before her: "Congratulations!"

Wen Man was stunned...

Her little wolfdog beside her wasn't happy, oh, he looked like he was pining for his old flame.

He nudged her, and Wen Man only then came back to herself.

Ho Shaoting suddenly smiled softly.

He knew deep down, no matter how much she went through, no matter how much she hated him, Wen Man always liked his looks. The meaning in her eyes couldn't be faked!

Ho Shao-ting presented the gift.

He said gently, "Wen Man, I won't miss any important days from now on."

In public, Wen Man didn't want to lose face.

Many people have already come to see it.

She handed the gift to Zhou Muyan and said in a soft voice, "Lawyer Huo, you're being too serious. Our friendship isn't something that should be spoken of like this! ... You came as a guest, Lawyer Huo, have fun!"

After saying that, she gave him a slight nod and went to socialize.

He just watched her, watching her chat and socialize with others, even dancing... Occasionally, her eyes would meet his unintentionally, but she'd quickly look away, choosing not to look at him!

At a dinner party, Wen Man performed perfectly!

But only she knew how vulnerable she truly was, how full of flaws.

She was slightly tipsy...

At the end, she was in the restroom, and splashed cold water on her face forcefully.

Zhou Muyan leaned against the doorway, playing with her phone while waiting for her. She couldn't help but tease her: "Ever since Huo arrived, your eyes have changed. How come you think he's so good He's so good, why did you break up with him"

Wen Man came out.

Her voice was cold: "My private affairs are none of your concern!"

The little wolfdog let out a cold snort and followed behind her: "You think I want to take care of you I just find it pathetic how you act... How, have you been hurt so badly that you don't even dare to like someone anymore You're 25 years old and live like a nun every day. Don't tell me you plan on living your whole life alone!"

Wen Man's footsteps came to a halt.

She stiffened all over...

Zhou Muyan!

Only Zhou Muyan saw through her heart. Yes, Wen Man had gone through Huo Shaoting's ordeal and dared not love anymore... At first, everyone thought she would fall for Jiang Rui, but actually, she didn't dare to love anymore!

She was not as carefree as she thought.

Wen Man didn't let Zhou Muyan send her off. She took a taxi and left. When she was downstairs, she saw Huo Shaoting.

He was leaning against the car, smoking.

Under a sky of dazzling neon, he was still radiant, but Wen Man could no longer bear it.

She hailed a cab.

When waiting for the car, Huo Shaoting extinguished his cigarette and walked over, frowning: "Where is Zhou Muyan Why didn't he send you off"

……

Wen Man put down her phone.

She stared at the musical fountain ahead and said softly, " Huo Shaoting, can you let me go For someone like you, heartbreak is just like taking a tumble, it doesn't hurt your bones or muscles. But I, Wen Man, am just an ordinary person, I can't afford to go through it again! So no matter if you are serious now, how serious you are... I can't handle it, understand I can't handle someone as big as you!"

Ho Shaoting's outstretched hand froze.

Wen Man's nose was slightly red: "Someone like you treats marriage as a joke, proposes with a ring on your middle finger, pretends to love me even though you don't. If I really married you, maybe after three or five years, I would find out that my husband doesn't love me... at most, he likes me! You like my body, my company, but how many more years can I stay young"

"Now that you say you love me, why should I believe you"

"So, that's it then!"

……

Just then, a taxi arrived. Wen Man opened the car door and got in.

Ho Shaoting stood alone in the darkness for a long time...

His heart gradually sank.

He realized that chasing after Wen Man was even harder than reaching the heavens, and he started to feel anxious.

……

Wen Man returned to her small apartment.

She didn't want to think about Huo Shaoting anymore. She decided to push this person out of her life and learn to ignore him.

Over the next week, Ho Shaoting didn't bother her. He didn't call and he certainly didn't drive to her apartment building to harass her.

Wen Man thought they had moved on!

She got home Saturday night and the doorbell rang right away.

Wen Man went to open the door.

Outside stood Jingchen, he looked unwell, clearly exhausted.

Wen Man closed the door and made him a cup of tea, softly asking: "What's wrong Did Bai Wei have an accident"

Jingchen sat on the small sofa.

He and Wen Man weren't really close. They weren't familiar with each other in the past, but they became closer because of Bai Wei. They had eaten together a few times.

Jingshen held the cup and spoke softly: "Bai Wei is pregnant!"

Jingchen gazed at her, knowing that Wen Man had only enjoyed a few good days after all the hardship. But he was helpless; he could only plead with her: "Yao Zian is refusing to divorce! And Ding Cheng's child isn't his. In some aspects, he has the upper hand. Right now, there's a cooling-off period for divorce, and he won't let go of this marriage anytime soon!"

Wen Man was stunned.

Jingchen took out a cigarette, asked Wen Man if he could light it, and then lit it with a flick of his lighter. He took a long, deep drag.

"Bai Wei's belly can't wait! The child is over three months old!"

He didn't say much, but Man was able to understand.

If things went badly with Bai Wei, Jing Chen's reputation would be ruined. He wouldn't be able to explain himself to his family either. This relationship was already difficult for him in the Jing family to begin with.

Wen Man entered the kitchen and refilled Jing Chen's tea.

She knew Jingchen's intentions. Huo Shaoting is the top lawyer in China, he has both resources and connections, he could get this marriage annulled with ease.

Wen Man spoke softly, "You and him, aren't you somewhat acquainted"

Jingchen smiled wryly.

He has some acquaintance with Huo Shaoting, but recently he finds it difficult to see him. His secretary always says that Lawyer Huo is on business trips or in meetings...

Jingchen is a smart person.

After several closed-door meals, he guessed Huo Shaoting's intention: to let Wen Man beg him.

Jingshen spoke in a hoarse voice: "Bai Wei doesn't know I came. With her temper, she would rather beat the child than trouble you! This time, it's selfish of me, Wen Man...I beg you once!"

Wen Man returned to the living room.

Jingchen's eyes were slightly red, and he looked completely exhausted, as if barely holding on.

Wen Man had seen Jing Chen be spirited and confident, she had seen him flirtatious and surrounded by women. This was the first time Wen Man saw this side of Jing Chen.

She vaguely thought: Bai Wei had met a good man.

She remained silent, while Jingchen rose and knelt before her.

"Jǐngchēn!…… You get up!"

Wen Man supported him, Jing Chen knelt down and couldn't get up. He choked back his voice: "Wen Man, as long as the child is born safely, you can ask me to do anything, even if you want all my property, I won't frown. From now on, I'll work hard to support my wife and children..."

Wen Man pulled him up.

She whispered, "What do I want with your property Don't you support the children anymore"

Jingchen looked at her, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Wen Man forced a smile: "I promise you, I'll go ask that person!"

Jingchen wanted to say something more…

Wen Man let him leave: "Take good care of Bai Wei, and don't say you've been here!"

Jingchen left.

Wen Man took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, opened it and drank it slowly.

The night breeze is cool, the wine is icy.

When I woke up in the night, my face was covered in tears.

Later, she sat listlessly on the terrace all night. When she finally came to her senses, golden sunlight rose, illuminating the whole world.

Wen Man lowered her head and gently took down Huo Shaoting's phone.

"Haw Shaoting, I want to see you!"sn't want to go out with him.Ho Shaoting knew best how to deal with her. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then lightly blew the smoke towards her: "If you don't want to go on a date, then let...
