Chapter 138: Huo Shaoting, do you have any shame?
he saw Huo Mingzhu.Lu Qian hadn't seen her in a long time. He wasn't usually bothered when he was busy, but seeing her now made him realize how much he missed her. He saw tears in her eyes and his vo...Wen Man's face was pale.
Ho Shaoting reached out to touch her face, Wen Man instinctively stepped back.
Finally, he let go of his hand.
"No matter what, it's a major blow!"
"Wen Man, I feel sorry for her."
"Let me take care of you..."
……
Wen Man listened quietly.
She looked at him impassively, "Mr. Huo, do I have to be blunt I know you do have some feelings for me, but this kind of liking is too superficial. Every time something happens to Qiao An...you'll rush to her side without hesitation, no matter if I'm heartbroken or in tears, lying on the operating table!"
Wen Man spoke, her heart aching.
But she drew a smile.
"Mr. Huo, I can't stand people like you!"
Ho Shao-ting walked in.
He gently took her head in his hands, wanting to kiss her, wanting to use it to make amends.
At least, let her remember their past love.
Wen Man was stunned.
She was rigid in his tender movements, her heart aching so badly it felt numb.
She didn't know where she got the strength, but she pushed him away.
"Huo Shaoting, do you have any shame"
"Me, Wen Man... are you just going to treat me like a dog, summon me when you need me and discard me when you're done If you want to sleep with a woman, given your looks and status, you could grab a handful with your eyes closed! You don't need to harass me like this."
Ho Shao-ting's eyes were dark and unreadable.
"Do you think I only want to sleep with you"
Wen Man trembled her lips and retorted, "Otherwise ... Marriage"
Huo Shaoting's breath quickened.
He clenched his palm, after a long silence he said in the standoff with a slight weariness: "Wen Man, I have no intention of getting married! It's not that I'm playing you, it's just that marriage isn't in my life plan."
Wen Man lowered her eyes.
She smiled softly. "Don't worry, I don't intend to interfere in your life."
She finished speaking and was about to close the door.
Ho Shao-ting stopped her.
He frowned slightly: "In my heart, you are more important than Joan!"
Wen Man raised her eyes and looked straight at him.
Her eyes held astonishment, and anger!
She repeated in a low voice, as if she'd heard the best joke of the century: “I'm more important than Joan”
Ho Shao-ting looked very serious.
Wen Man smiled faintly: "I remember Qiao An had a financial dispute that you handled. Huo Shaoting... you said I'm more important than her, so as someone even more important, I request you, give up cooperating with her."
She laughed mockingly, "Can you do it"
Ho Shaoting frowned.
He has always been clear about the separation between public and private life. If a woman dared to climb on top of him, interfering with his work, he would absolutely not allow it...
He looked at her: "Could you change the request"
Wen Man bent over, picked up the supplements he had brought, and threw them out the door.
"Get out!"
"Ho Shao-ting, never appear in front of me again, you disgust me."
……
Wen Man closed the door.
She pressed her forehead against the door, as if she could still smell the scent of tobacco on Huo Shaoting's clothes.
Once, she loved to snuggle in his arms.
She liked to press against his neck, feeling his breath through the layer of skin and muscle. The smell of tobacco mixed with aftershave intoxicated her deeply.
But now, all she wants is to get away.
In a short while, Bai Wei returned, her face grim. She must have had an argument with Huo Shaoting downstairs.
Wen Man regained her composure.
She said, "Don't offend him for me. Yao Zian and the Huo family always have business dealings."
Bai Wei put on a brave face.
In fact, she felt so much heartache.
Wen Man slowly opened the lunch box and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll get over it."
Although this process might be a bit painful.
But... it will always pass!
……
Wen Man stayed home for a few days and went back to work.
Because of Gu Changqing, Xu Zong's funding Wen Man can't have. She apologized to Li Jie.
Sister Li is very open-minded.
She patted Wen Man's shoulder: "The earth is round, right If this one doesn't work, there's always the next! I made dinner reservations with a few venture capitalists tonight, why don't you come along"
Wen Man is especially grateful to Li Jie for her generosity.
After a brief chat, she personally called Mrs. Xu.
"Mrs. Xu, I'm sorry, but I can't cooperate with Mr. Xu! But if Jiajia is willing to learn from me, I will definitely teach her well."
Mrs. Xu also learned the ins and outs of the matter from her husband.
Including Gu Changqing...
including Ho Chiu-ting...
She was deeply impressed by Teacher Wen's energy. She originally thought they wouldn't get along, but she was surprised to find him still so polite and respectful at this time, and he didn't rely on men.
Mrs. Xu suddenly developed a good impression of him.
She pondered: Teacher Wen seemed trustworthy, and while she relied on Old Xu, she still needed to have some of her own investment!
But Mrs. Xu was also a shrewd woman, she had to see how Huo Shaoting felt about it.
If Ms. Huo's lawyer wants to bid, she cannot steal it.
……
8 PM.
Wen Man went to the dinner with Sister Li, she was just recovering from an illness and wasn't really able to drink.
But she caused a lot of trouble for Sister Li. How could she let Sister Li drink two glasses alone at this time
Wen Man smiled softly and drained half a glass of red wine in one gulp.
The mellow red wine went into her stomach, causing a slight discomfort, but she still smiled faintly.
"Okay, Teacher Wen is a good drinker!"
"Teacher Wen is a very agreeable person!"
"Pour some more for Teacher Wen."
……
Inside the luxurious private room, bathed in the glow of crystal chandeliers, the atmosphere was excellent.
Wen Man had been drinking close to a whole bottle and a half of red wine.
Her face was unnaturally pale, even Li Jie noticed it and whispered, “Go to the restroom for a bit. I’ll find an excuse later and get you out of here first.”
Wen Man shook her head. "Let's go together."
Sister Li let out a soft sigh.
She knew about Wen Man and Huo Shaoting, and she also knew that as long as Wen Man was willing, she could have anything she wanted.
But Wen Man doesn't want to be a second lover!
Dawn felt not only pity but also admiration.
She's a pro at social gatherings, able to get the party started with just a few words. "Why don't you guys give our Teacher Wen a break I'll have this one with Mr. Lin."
That Mr. Lin is the general manager of a certain six-star hotel.
He has met Wen Man and knows she is Huo Shaoting's "girlfriend".
Just now, the people in that private room were drinking warm Manju wine. He couldn't openly stop them, so he secretly sent a message to Shao Ting, his younger brother, asking what was going on!
Wen Man ran to the restroom.
Her stomach felt very sick, but she couldn't vomit.
I turned on the cold water and splashed my face a few times, which made me feel much better.
But she got drunk in the end....
She saw the slender figure appearing in the washroom, unable to tell if it was real or a dream. She stared straight at it, her eyes subtly flushed.
Huo Shaoting walked to her side and calmly washed his hands.
Wen Man remained silent.
She leaned against the cold tiled wall, gazing at him vulnerably...
He Shaoting washed his hands very slowly.
They fell silent for a long time, and Wen Man finally confirmed that he was truly alive. They had actually met by chance...
She didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Ho Shao-ting softly said from behind her, "Wen Man, is this the life you want""I did want to marry you, but reality won't allow it! You forgot I have a wife, and my family is very strict. So we can only do this a few times, if we do it too many times, my wife will definitely fi...
