he city center square lit up with colorful lights, twinkling and flashing, with young couples embracing and kissing under it.Wen Man paused.She watched quietly, the night wind blowing, her eyes moiste...Wen Man didn't want to go there.

But she didn't want to go on candlelit dinners or play romantic games with him, that wasn't their style.

She held her phone, staring at the desk.

"Okay, I'll be off work in half an hour!"

Wen Man hung up the phone.

She pulled out several thick folders, stuffed them all into her briefcase, and still felt it wasn't enough, so she added some more...

When Ho Shao-ting stepped out of the office building, his car had already arrived.

He's always driving a black Maybach recently!

When Wen Man came over, he got out of the car and walked around to the passenger seat to open the door for her. His eyes swept across her hand, a smirk playing on his lips: "So dedicated even on weekends You don't have any private life at all"

His tone always had a hint of mockery.

Wen Man pretended not to hear, fastened her seatbelt, then turned to him and said, “Things have been pretty hectic lately! By the way, Bai Wei and Yao Zian got divorced. Thank you.”

Huo Shaoting clearly didn't want to talk about the washed-up couple. He looked ahead and said, "Go to your apartment and pick up Xiaobai! That little dog must be bored!"

Wen Man didn't object.

He drove to the apartment building where she lived, and Wen Man went upstairs to bring Xiaobai down.

After getting in the car, Xiaobai barked twice at Huo Shaoting.

Ho Shao-ting didn't stoop to the dog's level, only saying: "Why is it always so resistant to me I'm the one who brought it back."

Wen Man petted the dog's head: "It might be because of their same attributes and gender."

She smiled faintly after she finished speaking.

Ho Shao-ting's eyes were profound.

Since their breakup, Wen Man hadn't smiled at him like this for a long time. Such a gentle smile was like the melting of the first snow to him!

He couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Wen Man probably noticed, she restrained her smile and gazed quietly ahead.

Huo Shaoting smiled faintly, gently pressed the accelerator, and drove towards the villa.

……

He now resides in a detached villa spanning over 2,000 square meters. Located in the prime area of the city, it is considered a top-tier mansion.

He stopped the car, Huo Shaoting unbuckled his seatbelt and said casually, "There's no fixed staff here, dinner is made by people from the main house, it will probably be another hour before it's ready!"

Wen Man nodded.

He Shao-ting got out of the car, leading Xiaobai: "I'll take this dog for a walk to build up some feelings. You sit in the living room for a bit!"

Wen Man looked at the entire lawn.

The little one should be happy.

She walked into the living room and took advantage of the lull to handle some files. A maid brought her coffee. Wen Man recognized that it was from the Huo family's main residence, so she politely thanked them without being overly enthusiastic.

Early summer in July, the weather is hot and sunny.

Ho Shao-ting took his dog for a walk and broke into a sweat, but he still decided to give Xiaobai a bath first.

The dog stood on the grassy lawn, grinning and baring its teeth.

A look of pure enjoyment!

He patted his dog's head, letting it run and play on its own. He then walked into the main hall himself.

The living room was quiet, Wen Man sat quietly working.

Ho Shaoting felt a burning resentment. He walked over with damp clothes and leaned down, gently biting at the skin on her neck. His teeth grazed that bit of flesh, “Ms. Wen is really busy!”

Wen Man looked up and saw his handsome features.

Huo Shaoting closed the file for her: "Take a break!"

Wen Man hadn't even had time to speak when he got up and walked towards the second floor. He was unbuttoning his shirt as he went, shaking water droplets from his hair. That casual, at-home look was actually very sexy!

Wen Man was clearly taken aback.

A yard with grass, a little dog, and a handsome male owner... Scenes she had once dreamed of countless times were right before her eyes, yet she wasn't as moved by them!

Ho Shao-ting finished showering and went downstairs to see Wen Man sipping coffee gently.

Her appearance is like she changed her office!

He didn't correct her, after all, they hadn't been together for a long time, and she was resistant to him deep down. It was just that in ordinary times he would be aloof, but at night she always had to sleep on the same bed, which Huo Shaoting insisted on.

Weekends nights are perfect for cuddling.

But they were all working overtime, even Xiaobai's excitement had worn off, and both the male and female owners were still in their offices.

One in the study, one in the living room.

It wasn't until late at night that Huo Shaoting came out of his study.

Wen Man happened to be preparing for a bath and sleep. As she pushed open the living room door, their eyes met in a meaningful glance.

They did, after all, live together...

Such scenes, without fail, remind them of the tender memories they once shared, especially Huo Shaoting, who desperately wanted to hold her...

As Wen Man turned, he gently caught her slender wrist.

Her body stiffened slightly.

Ho Shao-ting hugged her from behind, leaning down to nibble on her delicate neck. He hadn't done this in a long time, even his breathing was suppressed and controlled.

After a long embrace, he scooped her up and placed her gently on the black sheets.

He went to great lengths to please her……

But just as they were about to get married, Huo Shaoting saw a tear in Wen Man's eye.

She doesn't want to!

Ho Shaoting supported himself with one hand, he lowered his head to look at her, and asked very gently, "Why are you crying"

Wen Man felt embarrassed.

She turned her face away, her eyes glistening.

Huo Shaoting gently wiped away her tears, wanting to let go of her but couldn't bear it. He leaned in and kissed her deeply for a long time…

He didn't get up until he reached his limit, then he went into the bathroom!

When he came back, he hugged her from behind: "If you don't want to, we won't, hmm"

Wen Man remained silent, as if asleep.

But he knew she wasn't asleep, she just didn't want to talk to him... She was different from before, not angry but very cold towards him, in a way that deliberately avoided interacting with him.

He didn't force her, and held her as they slept for the night.

Early in the morning, Wen Man's phone rang.

She just woke up, a little dazed. She fumbled around with her hands for what felt like forever before finally realizing Huo Shaoting had handed her her phone.

Wen Man was lying in bed.

Ho Shao-ting had already gotten up and was putting on his clothes at the bedside.

Seeing her lost in thought, he gave a faint smile: "Bai Wei's call Why didn't you answer it"

Wen Man hurriedly picked it up.

Bai Wei made this call to invite Wen Man to her wedding. Since it was her second marriage and she was pregnant, she wanted to keep things low-key. The Jing family held a simple ceremony, inviting only close relatives and a few close friends.

Wen Man sat up and congratulated Bai Wei.

Bai Wei didn't know what to say to Huo Shao Ting about those matters, so she told him the truth: "It's just a meal and a way to pass time!"

Wen Man could understand Bai Wei's feelings.

After Yao Zian's fuss, even the most anticipated relationship will lose some of its luster.

These things, both Jingchen and Bai Wei need to digest slowly.

Wen Man didn't say much, only saying she would definitely come.

She hung up the phone and saw Huo Shaoting staring at her. He was holding his tie in his hand, seemingly waiting for something...

Wen Man whispered, "I want to attend Bai Wei and Jing Chen's wedding!"

He Shaoting tightened his tie, remaining silent for a long time before continuing to adjust it as if nothing had happened: "Jingchen also invited me! So, you mean only one of us can go Are you afraid others will know about our relationship now"

Wen Man did not deny it.

Ho Shaoting suddenly pulled off his tie. He looked at her, his voice much softer: "If I don't say anything, no one will know about our relationship!"

He finished speaking and then turned to go downstairs.peaking.Large teardrops, rolling down...“I'm in so much pain. For those thirty minutes, I counted every second, wishing the pain would end... But it never did, it just kept going and going… Huo Shaoti...
