ld, but she just didn't give him the opportunity!He often gives her small gifts.either a business trip or by chance encountering something suitable for her...Warm Man locks everything into the drawer!...It was quiet all around.

Wen Man watched the reunited old lovers.

Ho Shao-ting's eyes were complex, a mixture of pain, shock, and surprise...

Wen Man didn't know if he still loved Qiao An, or how much, but she could see that Huo Shao Ting definitely hated her.

Hate is the opposite of love!

He never forgot Joan...

Gu Changqing sarcastically said from the side, "Wen Man, are you feeling uncomfortable all over now"

Wen Man smiled faintly.

"Gu Changqing sneered, "What kind of pleasure can I give you Shouldn't you be happy now You should be radiating the glory of a saint!"

Gu Changqing slowly clenched his fingers—>

What did he get

What is he happy about

He lost the woman he loved for four years, watching her live with another man!

It's all his own doing! Huo Shaoting was right, it was Gu Changqing himself who personally sent Wen Man to Huo Shaoting.

It was him... he lost her!

Gu Changqing's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He blurted out, unable to contain himself: "Wen Man, maybe I can give up everything! Let's start over"

Wen Man suddenly raised her eyes!

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Gu Changqing... how could he think they could start over He trampled her mercilessly, then lightly uttered an apology, and then picked up where they left off

That's too funny!

Wen Man's eyes were slightly red, and her lips trembled slightly.

She glared at Gu Changqing, hating him more than ever!

Just then, a soft and sweet voice called out from beside them, "Gu Changqing, Wen Man, I see you two are here..."

The sound also startled the former lovers.

Ho Shao-ting slowly turned his head.

He saw Gu Changqing and Wen Man standing very close to each other, staring intently at each other.

Wen Man's eyes were red-rimmed, as if she was about to cry, while Gu Changqing's eyes held a lingering and heartbreaking look that he couldn't quite hide.

Huo Shaoting's narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

He felt a pang of displeasure!

Joanne playfully tousled her seaweed-like black hair and asked with a slightly teasing tone, "Girlfriend"

Ho Shao-ting did not deny it.

Joanne stepped forward, leaned into Huo Shaoting's ear and smiled softly: "Shaoting, long time no see! These years I've been worried that because of my hurt, you would keep your distance from women. Seeing you like this makes me very happy."

"It's been a while!" Huo Shaoting chuckled, his composure intact. "And... you've overthought things!"

Joanne tilted her pretty little head.

In the sunlight, those delicate features and fiery red lips were flaunting everywhere. Huo Shaoting was dazed, feeling that these years Qiao An hadn't changed at all...

Wen Man is completely different in personality from Qiao An.

Wen Man is very homey and enjoys cooking. She has a stable personality and is easy to get along with. Of course, Wen Man also likes to dress herself up beautifully.

Wendy...

Ho Shao-ting turned around, but found that there was no one in the original place.

Wen Man is gone!

He thought she must have seen him, and Joan too...

He was stunned for a moment.

Joan narrowed her eyes slightly.

She knew there was someone around Ho Shao Ting in England, that's why she came back. She wanted to see what kind of person could be around Ho Shao Ting! Just now she took a look, it wasn't anything special, but now Shao Ting's reaction...

"Shaoting, won't you give me a tour of the house"

Joan spoke with a playful air, as if they were old friends.

Ho Shao-ting quietly watched where Wen Man had stood for a while before retracting his gaze, and said in a soft voice: “There are a few elders who would very much like to meet you!”

Joan wanted to take his arm.

Joanne's face stiffened slightly.

She whispered, "Shaoting, you've never refused me before."

Ho Shao-ting strode toward the large house, a voice calling from ahead: "qiao an, you said that was in the past."

They left.

On the second floor of a small western-style building in a corner, Gu Changqing watched coldly.

He saw Huo Shaoting was lost in thought, the man had been staring at where Wen Man had stood!

When had Huo Shaoting cared so much about Wen Man He should have noticed earlier that when Huo Shaoting looked at Wen Man, his eyes were full of pure male desire. Men understand men best, and Huo Shaoting constantly getting aroused by a woman wasn't just liking her, was it Wasn't it possessiveness

Gu Changqing gently closed his eyes——

Ho Shao-ting's feelings for Wen Man have surpassed those for Qiao An.

He loves without realizing it.

Gu Changqing didn't want to tell him at all! Not even a bit!

……

A birthday party, which took on a different flavor with Joan's arrival.

Everyone present knew about Huo Shaoting and her past. Now that the person in question was back, their glances towards Wen Man were inevitably meaningful.

Even Mrs. Huo was worried.

She whispered to Wen Man, "Manman, don't overthink it. Shaoting and she were just childhood playmates. Besides, Qiao An is already engaged to a foreigner. She came back to deal with some minor contract issues, and it won't affect your relationship with Shaoting."

Wen Man smiled faintly.

She didn't know how to explain to Mrs. Huo, she and Huo Shaoting were only "friends" physically!

But she liked him after all, so she deliberately avoided him!

For the entire afternoon and evening, Huo Shaoting hardly saw Wen Man! It was to be expected, after all, the Huo residence was quite large, and if one were determined, it would be easy enough to avoid each other!

The night is cool as water.

Wen Man leaned against the pavilion, a cocktail on the stone table.

Western music played in the hall, beautiful and romantic.

Wen Man thought the guests should be enjoying themselves dancing now. She didn't feel resentful; this place never really belonged to her anyway. She wouldn't even try to fight for anything, because Huo Shaoting's attitude had already made it clear that whatever she liked didn't matter at all!

Let's find a reason to leave later!

Ho Shao-ting should be too busy tonight to send her back home...

"Wen Man!"

A soft voice called my name.

Wen Man looked up and saw Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui usually dresses casually, the standard attire of a second-generation rich kid. Tonight, he's dressed more formally and looks even more handsome than usual.

He walked to Wen Man's side.

He was very tall, and Wen Man was sitting down again, so she had to look up to see him.

Jiang Rui's voice was lower than usual: "Don't you want to dance It would be a shame not to dance in such a beautiful outfit!"

Wen Man smiled faintly: "That's over! It's good to blow the wind here!"

"Because Huo Shaoting is with Qiao An, right" Jiang Rui asked bluntly.

He was rarely so sharp, Wen Man felt a little embarrassed!

Jiang Rui leaned down.

His nose almost touched hers, and he whispered, "Wen Man, do you like him Do you like him so much that you're afraid to appear in front of him, afraid that seeing your old lover dancing will hurt you"

"Coward!"

Wen Man's slender neck trembled slightly.

She looked at Jiang Rui before her, as if she were meeting him for the first time.

Jiang Rui gently stroked her face, his voice seductive and almost unreal: "Aren't you curious why I did this Because I want to see you happy. Isn't that what life is all about"

"As long as you have plenty of romantic opportunities, Huo Shaoting can't possibly mess with you!"

"Wen Man, try it with me! I guarantee, you'll see a brand new Huo Shao Ting!" pain washed over her, and in the end, she was so dazed that she couldn't even think about missing him or hating him. All she could feel was the baby, pressing against her, eager to be born amidst the...
