re equal. Besides... Teacher Wen looks so gentle, but her strength just now was truly remarkable!"He offered her a glass of red wine."Teacher Wen, after you have this cup, I will carefully consider th...Under such teasing, Huo Mingzhu fled in embarrassment.

Lu Qian didn't leave immediately.

He sat inside the car, slowly taking drags from his cigarette, watching that slender figure disappear behind the black carved door, lost in the night.

He couldn't help but think of one person.

His younger sister, Lu Xiaoman.

Xiao Man died young and was unable to see her family before she passed away, which became a thorn in Lu Qian's heart.

He has seen Wen Man's photos.

Wen Mansheng looked just like a member of the Lu family, with fair skin and long, brown hair.

But in terms of personality, Lu Qian found a shadow of Xiaoman in Huo Mingzhu.

No, she seems a bit clumsier than Xiaoman.

Lu Qian's long fingers held a cigarette, but he forgot to smoke it. He only smiled faintly when the long ash fell onto his trousers.

What's wrong with him today He's just met a brat.

Why, so sad...

He sat there for a long time before finally starting the car and driving back to the hotel. Back in his suite, Liu, his secretary, was pacing around like an ant on a hot pan. When she saw him return, she hurried over and feigned reproach: "Why did you go out alone What if something happened..."

Lu Qian sat down on the sofa.

Even when exhausted, he maintains a noble bearing, showing no sign of slacking.

He casually grabbed a pillow and was about to put it back, but then he suddenly took it and sniffed it.

On top of that, there was a faint, subtle fragrance.

It's not perfume, it's just the natural scent of a girl.

Sweet, like orange...

Lu Qian raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly, "Something happened Isn't it good to just leave all this mess behind! You don't know how tired I am, seeing so many people every day, dealing with all these things!"

Liu's secretary poured him a cup of tea and patiently listened to his complaints.

He knew that Mr. Lu would only speak in this way when he was alone with him.

In front of outsiders, Mr. Lu is always impeccable.

Lu Qian said a few words, and then got ready to take a bath.

Ms. Hu, Zhiyin Hu.

A renowned female lead actress in Peking Opera, she is known for her stunning looks and graceful movements. She also gets along well with Mr. Lu. When Mr. Lu traveled to City B, he sometimes asked her to accompany him.

Lu Qian was heading towards the bathroom. Upon hearing this, he pondered for a few seconds: "Forget it! I have no interest!"

That's what he said.

Lu Qian turned around, his tone laced with a hint of teasing: "Did she ask you to be her spokesperson She's great in many ways, but she can be a bit scheming! She's beautiful, but being with her feels like doing diplomacy—exhausting!"

Liu's secretary remained silent.

Indeed, the beautiful actress had pleaded softly for quite some time. Although he thought she was very good, he also knew that it wasn't up to him. Mr. Lu clearly didn't seem too interested in her right now.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom...

Ms. Liu tactfully retreated, ah, a man in his forties always has some private matters to settle on his own.

Lu Qian is indeed right.

After the tide of emotion receded, he braced himself with one hand against the bathroom tiles and lowered his head to rinse himself clean.

He truly needed comfort, and there were beautiful women eager to care for him. Yet, he simply wasn't in the mood...Earlier, when he was impulsive, all he could think about was Huo Mingzhu kneeling on the sofa.

She's so innocent, she doesn't understand men at all!

……

The Huo residence.

Ho Mingzhu slept in.

When he woke up, his older brother, Huo Shaoting, was sitting beside the bed.

She moved closer, resting her head on her brother's leg and meowing softly, "Brother, how are you and your sister-in-law"

Huo Shaoting pinched her face: "Aren't you still calling me brother-in-law"

In fact, when Wen Man and Huo Changqing's relationship was exposed, his father was not very supportive at first. After all, their relationship was too complicated. As a father, it was difficult for him to favor one child over the other.

But Wen Man's uncle, Lu Qian, came to the house and stirred things up, which really riled up Huo Zhen Dong's hot temper. Hehe, you Lu family are so full of yourselves, aren't you

Our Huo family has betrothed to Wen Man!

Ho Shaoting was worried about Wen Man and didn't want her to be with Zhou Muyan. Also, Jiang Rui was in City H.

But Mingzhu is also very important to him.

He traced the length of her hair, asking softly, "Are you sure"

Ho Mingzhu obediently snuggled against him, softly humming in agreement...

Ho Shaoting still wanted to ask, but swallowed his words. Lin Ling had called him yesterday, and he already knew what happened. He thought, with Lu Qian's status, he probably treated Mingzhu like a pet.

That one, quite elegant!

Besides, having more things to do keeps Mingzhu busy and helps her recover faster.

The siblings have a very good relationship. Huo Shaoting had lunch with her before going to the office.

Hu Mingzhu lived to the age of 27 and had never worked.

In the afternoon, she wandered around her house until she got bored. Then she drove out, and after a while of aimless driving, she ended up at the hotel where Lu Qian lived...

How did you get here

Huo Mingzhu was a little dumbfounded, and her face flushed slightly.

The other day, people were saying that a little girl wouldn't be suitable for him! Psh, who suits him She's only with him because he's Wen Man's uncle...

He's just good-looking.

Just then, a black Audi drove out slowly, its license plate xx8888.

This is Lu Qian's car.

Huo Mingzhu blinked gently, then she just followed him...

Inside an Audi car.

Lu Qian was closing his eyes to rest.

Upon hearing this, she gently opened one eye and said, "Don't worry about her!"

After about an hour, the car arrived at a cemetery.

The day before yesterday, he had already come once. But today is Wen Boyan's death anniversary, so he came to pay his respects. Lu Qian felt deeply grateful to Wen Boyan. He not only took in Xiao Man and cared for her meticulously, but also treated Wen Man as his own daughter.

Lu Qian brought wine for Wen Ber-yan and a bouquet of lilies for Lu Xiao-man.

The weather is hot.

He stood there silently, not moving even though his white shirt was soaked through.

Liu, the secretary, held an umbrella for him and silently accompanied him.

Huo Mingzhu came along just to join in the fun. She first watched secretly, but later on, her high heels became quite uncomfortable. So she simply squatted down, like a little puppy.

She had never seen a man so heartbroken.

He didn't cry, but the atmosphere of sadness was heartbreaking.

After a long silence, Lu Qian suddenly spoke: "Why are you hiding Come here!"

Is this her name

Huo Mingzhu was quite confused. She got up and slowly walked over, calling out in a low voice, "Uncle Lu." Her arm was then grabbed by a strong arm and gently pulled to his side.

Only then, standing like that, did she realize how tall Lu Qian was.

She's 168cm tall even without heels, but standing beside him she only reaches his ear. He must be over 185cm tall.

Lu Qian gently stroked the photograph on the tombstone.

In the photo, Lu Xiaoman is still young and innocent, smiling carefree.

Lu Qian smiled gently: "Ber Yan, Xiaoman, this is the brat of the Huo family, Huo Shaoting's sister. If you were still here, you should be able to see Wen Man get married! Rest assured, I will take good care of Wen Man for you!"

After he finished speaking, he got up and lightly patted Huo Mingzhu's head: "Call someone!"

Huo Mingzhu was a little dumbfounded. After a long silence, she stammered, "Uncle and aunt, I didn't mean to disturb you...that is, my brother will be good to his sister-in-law, don't worry. My father would beat him if he wasn't."

Lu Qian smiled lightly.

Originally, he had a slightly gloomy mood, but it brightened up a bit.

Huo Mingzhu turned her head to look at him and whispered, "Uncle Lu, do you agree with my brother being with Wen Man"

Lu Qian walked outside and said, "Did I say that"

You said so! There's no backing out now!

She followed behind him, unconsciously clutching his arm and swaying gently against him.ite.He didn't say it, but Wen Man had already guessed it.She didn't get angry, instead she gently stroked her belly like him, and whispered softly: "Shaoting, you're good at teaching children. When th...
