Chapter 407: I use myself to repay Mr. Wen's kindness a

the restaurant, Huo Shaoting was sitting and reading a newspaper.A black shirt, dark gray trousers, and a neatly trimmed short haircut.The whole person was strong and vigorous.He was sitting beside C...Mingzhu rushed over and hugged his arm.

When the woman's relatives saw her own brother, they naturally felt close to him.

Huo Shaoting gently embraced her and sneered at Gu Yunfan: "Who are you trying to be the male third"

Gu Yunfan gazed at Huo Shaoting.

Though he acted recklessly, in the ordinary sense of things, he had to admit that Huo Shaoting was dazzling.

That man was born with advantages beyond compare.

He tasted bitterness as he retorted, "Why... are you afraid"

Ho Shao-ting single-handedly pulled out a cigarette case, lit one, and took a long drag.

Those beautiful, slender eyes narrowed as they gazed at Gu Yunfan, a light smile playing on her lips. "How could I be afraid of you! I'm afraid Wen Man would be unhappy if she heard this. She's great in every other way, just a little bit too obsessed with cleanliness."

Gu Yunfan wouldn't let him either.

"I heard Mr. Huo was a lawyer in the past. Isn't his tongue even tougher than yours at your age"

"It's alright!"

"Wen Man appreciates mature men. You're just a young kid, you need more practice!"

……

Two men were verbally sparring, neither giving an inch.

Mingzhu was dumbfounded.

Just so happened Lu Qian came back earlier, accompanied by Wen Man and a few children. He was holding Huo Xi in his arms.

Xiao Huo Xi is especially beloved.

The white and tender little face was pressed against Lu Qian, affectionately calling him "uncle-grandfather."

Lu Qian pulled her little hand, giving her a warm one.

He looked at the scene and smiled: "What a lively day!"

Gu Yunfan saw him and did not dare to be presumptuous. He respectfully called out, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Qian glanced at Mingzhu, and Mingzhu immediately moved over and stood beside him.

The old woman and Mr. Gu also came back after shopping.

Lu Qian, acting with the air of a master of the house, asked Mr. Gu and Huo Shao-ting to go to the tea room for a chat. As for Gu Yunfan, he wasn't even qualified to sit; he had to stand aside and listen.

Mingzhu looked in the direction they left.

She whispered to Wen Man, "Your uncle, looking at him with your brother, doesn't seem like he's from the same generation."

Wen Man is pregnant.

She stood in the quaint courtyard of Lu Yuan, gently stroking her belly and smiling: "What Do you think your uncle is too old I see that you've been quite fond of him these years!"

Mingzhu couldn't argue with her, and wouldn't dare to.

Aunt Ruan also came over, taking a woolen shawl to drape it on Wen Man's shoulders: "You two chat, I'll accompany Old Mrs. "

Wen Man hummed in agreement.

Her eyes and eyebrows were full of gentleness, especially beautiful.

Mingzhu felt a twinge of envy and reached out to touch her stomach. She thought, "I wonder if all pregnant women have this kind of charm" Sadly, when she was pregnant with Shuoshuo, she had been too miserable. Let alone charm, she was just glad there wasn't anything worse!

Wen Man let the children go play.

She was her little helper, playing with her younger siblings.

Wen Man and Mingzhu entered the small courtyard.

Wen Man's bedroom faces south and is well-designed, making it very warm in the winter.

Mingzhu helped her sit down and took off her coat.

"Sister-in-law, slow down"

Wen Man glanced at her with a smile, "No red envelope for me, little aunt"

Mingzhu poured her a glass of plain water.

She snuggled up to Wenman, acting coquettishly: "Wenman, you're not allowed to talk about this anymore! My brother will kill me!"

Wen Man forbade her from talking nonsense.

"During the Chinese New Year, and in a month or so you'll be getting married, so speak auspicious words."

Wen Man took out a red envelope: "Lucky money!"

Upon opening it, I saw a pair of very beautiful pearl earrings. At first glance, they looked like top-grade South Sea pearls.

She put it on, and it went perfectly with the wool skirt she was wearing.

Dazzling.

She really liked it, stroking its ears: "Wen Man, you have good taste."

Wen Man repeated what Huo Zhendong and his wife had said, her tone and manner radiating the authority of a big sister-in-law. Mingzhu was completely cowed by this display of power and dared not act like a mother-in-law again.

Wen Man achieved her goals and knew when to stop.

She whispered, "Are you getting used to it"

Mingzhu knew that the old woman was truly kind to her, and she couldn't help but feel moved. She softly said, "The old woman has been very good to me, and Lu Qian is also very good."

Then Wen Man felt relieved.

Mingzhu thought of Gu Yunfan and worriedly asked, "Will him staying here affect your relationship with your older brother"

Wen Man poked her head without answering.

She only wasn't at the dinner, she said she wasn't feeling well.

In the Lu family hall, a table was set with a lavish feast. Upon hearing that Wen Man would not come home to visit her family, the father and son felt a great deal of disappointment.

The old woman smiled.

She said, “It’s common for women to lose their appetite when they’re pregnant. Shao Ting, you should go check on her.”

Huo Shaoting nodded.

He put out his cigarette and brought her some good food.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Wen Man was sitting on a soft couch by the window, holding a book in her hand.

Tranquil and serene.

Ho Shao-ting had always found her attractive, and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times before walking over. He placed his things down, sat behind her, and supported her thin shoulder. He asked softly, "Where does it hurt"

Wen Man looked at the tray.

A family portrait of meatballs, two stir-fries, and a bowl of soft bone soup.

Just looking at it makes me hungry.

She put down her book and smiled faintly, “I don't want to reveal my cards so early.”

Ho Shao-ting immediately knew it was for Mr. Gu.

He smiled and helped her to a small table.

Wen Man picked up a small meatball and held it to Huo Shao Ting's mouth: "It looks like your grandma made it. Try it."

Ho Shao-ting finished eating and also thought it was good.

He was curious again: "You haven't lived in the Lu family for long, how did you figure that out"

Wen Man silently ate a meat bun.

She looked up at him and said softly, "After giving birth to Hoxi, I stayed here for two months."

Ho Shao-ting was slightly taken aback.

He placed his palm over Wen Man's hand, his voice husky: "Wen Man, back then, I'm sorry!"

This is a pretty heavy topic, not something I bring up easily.

Wen Man smiled at him softly, "Shaoting, I don't blame you! What matters is that we are very happy now. I feel so happy being by your side."

Ho Shaoting gently stroked her long hair and said a playful remark to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Then, I have to thank Mr. Wen for not holding grudges."

"You know!"

"When she was getting tired, she urged him: “You go and accompany the guests! I'm fine!”

Ho Shaoting touched her cheek and walked out.

The hall was bustling with activity.

Mr. Gu was eager to make friends, and Lu Qian was good at socializing. They quickly became acquainted with each other.

Hu Shaoting knew that Mr. Gu was doing well in business.

He has a new energy project in his hands, which is very suitable for Lu Qian.

So he joined the party.

After the old lady and Aunt Ruan finished eating, she took the children to another place. Several men remained to drink and casually discuss business matters.ttle girl's eyes slowly filled with tears... In fact, living together, where could they not feel it……A week later, Zhang Chongguang returned to the city. He did not go home but went straight to the co...
