fice, whispering sweet nothings to each other.He had been apart from her for too long, even the time in the car he wanted to talk to her.Little Huo Xi sat obediently in his child seat.I was too tired,...Wen Man trembled slightly under his gaze.

Huo Shaoting handed her his phone. "Call your aunt, so she won't worry! ...You've had your phone off all day!"

Wen Man took the phone and softly thanked him, then walked to the window and called Aunt Ruan.

Aunt Ruan was still worried that she would compromise with Gu Changqing, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions!

Wen Man bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

The phone was taken by a slender hand. Huo Shaoting said in a gentle tone, "Aunt Ruan, Wen Man is with me! My surname is Huo, Huo Shaoting, lawyer."

Wen Man was both surprised and shocked.

She didn't expect Huo Shaoting to be willing to expose this relationship... He, does he know what he's doing

Not only was she stunned, but so was Aunt Ruan on the other end of the phone.

She pinched herself hard: she was awake, this wasn't a dream!

Isn't that Huo Shaoting

Gu Changqing's rascal of a brother-in-law

Aunt Ruan's tongue seemed to have been snatched away by a cat, unable to utter a word. Huo Shaoting, on the other hand, eloquently explained Wen Man's presence in his care with just a few sentences.

The phone call ended, Huo Shaoting looked at Wen Man: "Go to the kitchen and cook some ginger tea for yourself. Drink it and go to sleep first... I have some things to deal with."

He finished speaking and walked into the study.

Wen Man gently tugged on his sleeve: " Huo Shaoting."

Ho Shao-ting turned around.

Wen Man struggled to speak: "I... I made a promise with... with Gu Changqing..." She was referring to the agreement she had made with Gu Changqing.

Ho Shao-ting's eyes darkened, and he said slowly, "I thought that when you came back with me, you had already made your choice."

He extended his palm and placed it lightly over her heart, gently massaging it.

Between you and Gu Changqing, there will be nothing.

Having said that, Huo Shaoting entered the study. Wen Man pondered over his words repeatedly…Later she thought, he was willing to make an exception mainly for Huo Mingzhu! Only if he had her, Gu Changqing would be willing to give up.

Wen Man felt a little relieved.

She walked to the kitchen to prepare ginger tea. Huo Shaoting's kitchen was like a showroom, she suspected he hadn't even used it, but when she opened the refrigerator, she found that it was well-stocked with various types of food, including meat, eggs, and dairy products.

Wen Man took out a piece of ginger and boiled two bowls of ginger tea.

She gave a present to Huo Shaoting.

In the study, Huo Shaoting was on the phone. When Wen Man arrived at the doorway, he didn't avoid her. He made a gesture for Wen Man to come in.

Wen Man placed the ginger tea on his desk and was about to leave.

Her wrist was seized, and with a gentle tug he seated her on his lap.

Ho Shao-ting continued talking with Lawyer Jiang Ming, but his other hand wasn't idle either. Wen Man was teased by him and couldn't stand it, so she leaned on his shoulder and gently bit his shoulder.

Ho Shaoting's black eyes stared at her, with a flicker of fire in them.

Over there, Jiang Ming suddenly brought up Wen Man.

Ho Shao-ting gave a faint smile: "She's here with me. Do you want to speak to her"

He wasn't that fragile! Huo Shaoting brushed it off in a few words.

He quickly finished his talking, then picked up several files, all about Wen Beryan's case.

When he had a moment to spare, he drank the ginger tea in one gulp and told Wen Man to go to sleep first, saying that he still had things to do.

Wen Man didn't make a fuss about sleeping in the guest room, she knew exactly what he wanted!

Entering the master bedroom, Wen Man carefully pulled back the thin quilt and lay down. In the dim light, her skin against the black sheets looked translucent and dazzling...

She was so nervous, she didn't know when Huo Shaoting would come back to sleep.Lu Qian still walked over.The city's neon lights cast a shimmering, multi-colored glaze over them, making everything seem unreal.Like a dream, ephemeral.
