Chapter 304: Wen Man, are you taking revenge on me?
tidied up a bit. When she was done, she saw Huo Shaoting leaning at the doorway of the study with a mug in his hand, looking at her thoughtfully.He said lazily, "Quite diligent. I thought I'd found a...In the bustling city, there stands a row of century-old buildings.
The styling is chic and the decoration is luxurious.
To own such a small mansion would definitely be a symbol of status, and it would also be a great place for B city's elite to host private parties.
This private dinner is not open to ordinary people.
The newly rich Shi family wanted to befriend the Huo family, but Mrs. Huo wasn't keen on social gatherings. Huo Zhendong was also focused on having grandchildren, so the Shi family turned their attention to Wen Man.
Although Wen Man divorced Huo Shaoting, everyone in City B knows that Huo Zhending favors her very much.
Wen Man went back to change into another set of clothes.
A black palace-style long dress, pure and sexy, with a waist as thin as that of South Korea's Seo Ye-ji.
The private dinner was attended by most people who knew Wen Man.
Unexpectedly, shadow queen Fang Yan is also here.
Wen Man nodded to her, then raised a cocktail glass and began socializing with the ladies.
She thought it was quite pleasant.
After her divorce, she had two children to care for, so it was rare to have such a relaxing time.
……
Outside the mansion, a black Cullinan was parked. Huo Shaoting leaned against the car smoking.
He was shrouded in darkness, his black attire blending seamlessly with the night.
Only grayish smoke, appearing and disappearing...
Midnight.
Ho Shao-ting stubbed out his cigarette and walked toward the manor. The gatekeeper recognized him and knew he was someone their master wanted to curry favor with, so he let him in without hesitation.
Inside, it was lavish and bustling.
Celebrity models, countless stars, and renowned violinists.
The atmosphere is especially good!
Huo Shaoting came from a wealthy family, he wasn't unfamiliar with such private gatherings, and he was already used to them, but that didn't mean he wasn't surprised when he saw Wen Man.
She leaned against the crimson sofa, playing poker with a few people.
By her side was the hottest new actor.
The star that an ordinary girl would look up to was now gazing softly at his wife, almost fawning!
Wen Man probably won.
She leaned back against the sofa, smiling mischievously.
The handsome boy handed her a glass of champagne, and Wen Man took it naturally.
He Shao-ting was dressed in black.
His face was darker than his clothes!
So, this is her private life! He always thought that in Wen Man's world, there was only marriage and extramarital affairs... all tied to him, Huo Shaoting!
After her divorce, she devoted herself to raising her children.
I can't believe she's so wild!
Obviously, her looks and figure are enough to make any 24-year-old man drool.
Mr. Huo, the most esteemed lawyer in the city, now resembled a cuckolded husband who had caught his wife cheating. He stood out awkwardly amidst the surroundings!
Someone has already greeted him.
"Is Lawyer Huo here to play too"
Wen Man looked up, her eyes met his.
She was a little surprised that he would come here...
Ho Shaoting took off his black trench coat and threw it casually onto the sofa, sitting opposite Wen Man.
He leaned down and lit a cigarette: “Mr. Wen’s private life is quite interesting!”
As soon as these words were spoken, those around them caught on.
Lawyer Huo was obviously jealous, but he couldn't stoop to arguing with an actress. All he could do was lash out at his wife.
Wen Man casually brushed her long hair, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Not bad!"
He wants to play here, and she doesn't stop him. Since they're divorced, they should just be straightforward with each other.
Then I played a few more rounds.
He Shao-ting's luck was average, Wen Man was doing alright. Occasionally that young heartthrob would come over to give her advice, it wasn't very intimate, but he didn't deliberately avoid He Shao-ting either.
Only now did he truly understand.
Wen Man really divorced him, cleanly.
The bit of longing and reluctance she showed was for "Shaoting".
Her interactions with him are for the sake of the child.
She actually didn't have any lingering feelings for Huo Shaoting.
Before this, he thought they could get back together. Now it seems... it was just wishful thinking on his part!
Ho Shao-ting could have pulled her away, but they were both people of status and couldn't afford to be seen making a spectacle.
Wen Man didn't want to leave until one o'clock in the morning.
Lao Zhao's car is not here.
Wen Man lightly pulled at her coat and watched as Huo Shaoting drove the car over. She didn't refuse and got into his car.
She thought he must have something to say tonight.
Definitely, I will also get angry!
Ho Shao-ting was angry again, but still leaned down to open the car door for her. He just said in a cold tone: "Get in!"
Wen Man sat in the co-pilot seat.
She slowly fastened her seatbelt and asked casually, "How did you get here"
Ho Shao-ting lightly pressed the accelerator.
He didn't drive the car back to her villa, but instead drove all the way to the riverbank. The windows were open, and slowly, a salty, damp smell filled the air.
The car came to a sudden stop.
Huo Shaoting gripped the steering wheel, looking at the darkness ahead. He restrained his emotions and asked, "Wen Man, are you seeking revenge on me"
Wen Man didn't speak.
He slowly turned, his eyes red: "I have never betrayed our marriage!"
Wen Man opened the car door and got out.
Outside, it was pitch black, except for the faint glimmer on the surface of the river.
It was very cold at night, but Wen Man wanted to take a walk, at least to clear her head.
Ho Shaoting remained seated, his gaze fixed on her retreating figure.
Suddenly, he got out of the car, grabbed her arm from behind, and gently pulled her into his embrace: "I've never seen you so infuriating!"
His lips pressed against her hair, his voice husky: "Wen Man, don't go there again! If you want to play, I'll go with you!"
He couldn't stand that she was admired by others and constantly longed to be intimate with her.
Wen Man gently pushed him away.
The night wind blew her hair a little messy, but she didn't care. She stood opposite him and said softly: "Huo Shaoting, it's not about whether I love you or not, it's... I really don't want to live a life of repeated torment! I'm serious, I'm actually quite happy tonight!"
His gaze toward her was a little strange.
Wen Man turned and looked at the river surface: "I understand what you mean! You're thinking of starting over with me, but Huo Shaoting, I'm not a little girl in my 20s anymore. We got divorced when we had two children... For the sake of the children, we definitely need to be in contact, but we shouldn't interfere in each other's private lives."
Ho Shao-ting had his hands in his pockets.
Inside, there was a diamond ring, which he had planned to give her.
He spoke softly, "What if I said you had a choice"
Wen Man did not answer.
Silence is the cruellest answer.
After a long silence, Huo Shaoting smiled faintly: "Wen Man, I've been overstepping the bounds these past few days! … It's getting late. I'll send you back!"
On the way back, he held the rear door open for her.
Polite and well-mannered.
On the way, they didn't speak a word to each other, only exchanging a few words about the children when they got off.
Wen Man knew: they were really over!
A strong night wind blows.
She stood in the night wind, watching him drive away...
After that, he stopped bothering her.
Even when they met outside, he would only nod. They were like other divorced couples, polite and respectful to each other, with nothing else besides the children..., when he had bullied her.Anran gently got up. "Why didn't you call me"Huò Yunsī put down his notebook and smoothed her slightly messy hair, chuckling softly: "You look tired, why don't you take a nap...
