Chapter 168. By nightfall, Huo Shaoting had not returned hom

id softly, "But Daddy is sick. Can we give him some time"Xiao Hoxi actually understands some things.Although Mom doesn't say it, she knows that after Dad moved into the hospital, they rarely got to se...Stepping out of the study, Huo Shaoting pulled Wen Man.

He held her in his arms, saying nothing... Wen Man felt a little wronged.

But now that it's the New Year, and she's at home, she can't afford to be petty.

She leaned against his shoulder, inhaling the pleasant scent of his aftershave, and whispered, "How late are you coming back"

Ho Shao-ting will be going to the law firm later.

Joan's husband's lawyer was waiting to negotiate.

Huo Shaoting thought for a moment and said, "Come back before dinner! I'll come back to have dinner with you, and then we'll go back to the apartment together... Wen Man, this won't affect our lives."

Wen Man gave a wry smile.

In the afternoon, Huo Shaoting left with Huo Zhendong.

Mrs. Huo had originally planned to take both children out, but now she was in no mood...

The atmosphere in the Huo residence was somewhat oppressive.

Wen Man waited from day until night, but Huo Shaoting didn't come back.

He did call her to let her eat first and have the driver take her back to her apartment. He said he would be back later.

Wen Man didn't ask what time it was.

When it comes to Qiao An, she always has a hint of pride and self-respect.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Wen Man was leaving with Xiaobai, Mrs. Huo felt particularly sorry.

Wen Man smiled gently: "It's okay!"

But deep down, she knew all day long was filled with nothing but bitterness...

got on the bus.

The driver did not start the car immediately, instead the rear door was opened.

Gu Changqing appeared in the night.

The driver was shrewd. He could tell that the groom and Miss Wen had something going on, and he wisely kept his mouth shut, which was always a good thing.

Gu Changqing leaned against the car top, looking at Wen Man: "I have something to tell you."

Wen Man was already in a bad mood and didn't want to pay him any attention at all.

Gu Changqing grabbed her arm and forcefully dragged her out of the car...

The night wind howled fiercely.

Wen Man stared at him, her gaze unwavering. Gu Changqing lowered his head and lit a cigarette. As the smoke rose, he looked at her: "With things like this, you still want to be with him This international divorce lawsuit will drag on for years. Do you want to watch Huo Shaoting constantly associate with his former lover If Qiao An were to slit her wrists, Huo Shaoting would rush to the hospital as a dutiful son... Wen Man, is this kind of relationship what you want Is this kind of humiliation something you're willing to endure"

These words were unpleasant, and she also despised Gu Changqing for them.

But what he said was exactly right!

Wen Man's voice was calm: "Gu Changqing... whether I'm doing well or not, it has nothing to do with you!"

Gu Changqing slammed his fist on the roof of the car!

The driver was startled.

Under the cover of night, Gu Changqing's face was frightening. He questioned her, "Wen Man, in your heart, am I a heartless person I just don't want you to be happy! But have you ever thought about it, I damn well want you to be happy too!"

Gu Changqing was probably too excited.

He was trembling with his fingers clutching a cigarette: "You goddamn idiot! Flush your brain out, you're a hundred times better off following Jiang Rui than being with him!"

Wen Man's face was pale.

Gu Changqing looked at her quietly, he suddenly spoke very softly and gently: "Wen Man, or could you give me another chance! I won't disappoint you again."

Wen Man got into the car.

She sat in the back seat and said softly, "Gu Changqing, it's too late!"

After that, she told the driver to drive.

The driver sighed and gently pressed the accelerator.

On the road, Wen Man remained silent. Instead, the young driver couldn't help but say; "Don't worry, Miss Wen, I won't spread rumors about what happened tonight!"

Wen Man didn't speak.

She doesn't seem to care anymore!

She went back to Huo Shaoting's apartment, made a nest for Xiaobai, and then waited...

Wait for Ho Shao-ting to come back!

Wen Man waited until midnight, but he still hadn't come back.

It's pretty quiet at night...

Only a small white dog circled around her feet, back and forth.

Wen Man sat in front of the piano, playing over and over again. She played every piece she remembered, but Huo Shaoting still hadn't returned.

The little white dog was so tired that it lay curled up at her feet.

Wen Man sat in front of the piano, with the city's unparalleled night view before her.

But she felt extremely oppressed.

She scrutinized this relationship, realizing she had long since run out of options...

……

Ho Shao-ting didn't return home all night.

Early in the morning, Wen Man took Xiaobai away from the apartment and returned to her own nest.

Huo Shaoting probably went back, call her and ask.

Wen Man clutched her phone, at a loss for words.

Ho Shao-ting was probably very busy. He only said a few words when his phone rang, and he had to hang up.

That's how it was for days, they didn't see each other.

At this time, there was a problem with the music room again.

After the opening of the eighth day, Sister Li invited Wen Man to her office for coffee alone. Wen Man felt that Sister Li's complexion was not good and couldn't help but ask a few concerned questions.

"Wen Man, I have stomach cancer!" Auntie Li told her softly.

……

Wen Man was holding a coffee cup and gently blinked her eyes upon hearing this.

Then, tears started to fall.

She didn't reach to wipe it away, instead asking softly, "Have you had a follow-up"

……

"After checking, I've been to the best hospitals both domestically and internationally! Wen Man, I want to recuperate in Switzerland. I don't want to give my shares to others. If possible, I want you to take over. I have no other requirements, as long as I can break even!"eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "This is the company's key project. Next month, you go with me to inspect it!"He Ruolin's heart skipped a beat.He gazed at Wen Man's composed and collecte...
