n mountains, we don't fear a shortage of firewood." As long as his son is physically well, there's still room for recovery.He instructed his son again, "In the future, be more considerate of your wif...Ho Shao-ting finally showed some manners, reaching out to straighten her skirt and offering to button it up for her.

"I'll do it myself." Wen Man said, her voice trembling.

Her hand grasped the tiny button, but it was too slippery to fasten. Finally, Huo Shaoting fastened it for her.

He apologized again.

To compensate her, he personally called Lawyer Jiang Ming and explained the situation of Wen Man's father.

Jiang Ming admired this junior, Huo Shaoting. When Huo Shaoting spoke, he immediately agreed and made an appointment with Wen Man to meet.

Ho Shao-ting responded politely a few times before hanging up his phone.

He sat down behind his desk and lit a cigarette. He said to Wen Man, "Besides representing you in court, you can make any other request you want."

Wen Man knew this should be their last meeting.

If it were before, Huo Shaoting might still occasionally think about her body, but now it's different. He should have made up his mind to draw a line between himself and her.

Wen Man is a person of discernment.

She feigned nonchalance: “It’s just men and women falling in love, I haven't lost anything! I still have to thank Lawyer Huo for his help…”

By the end, Wen Man's nose felt a little sore, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. She wasn't even friends with Huo Shaoting, so acting pathetic in front of him wouldn't make any sense.

She bid him farewell, saying she would take a taxi back.

Ho Shao-ting said nothing, he remained seated there smoking, his eyes clouded and unreadable.

Wen Man left.

She didn't go home right away; she didn't want to face Aunt Ruan's disappointed eyes just yet.

As night fell, Wen Man walked alone on the street. The Ferris wheel in the 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 moistening.

A golden Continental drove past Wen Man, and Huo Shaoting saw her.

She stood under the Ferris wheel, looking up at those stars, with a lingering and tender look in her eyes... Huo Shaoting wouldn't be narcissistic enough to think she was thinking of him!

She knows who he's thinking of.

Ho Shaoting slammed on the accelerator, and the Bentley Continental sped away.

……

The next day, Wen Man went to work at the music room. This music room was the highest-end music training in the city. Her colleagues all knew about her family's affairs and couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort.

Wen Man didn't want to affect others and smiled faintly, saying it was fine.

At ten o'clock, a delivery arrived from all over the city. It was said to be sent by a lawyer named Huo.

Wen Man tore open the packaging.

A delicate velvet box lay a diamond necklace inside.

Dazzling and very valuable.

A colleague whispered to Wen Man: "This brand of necklace, with this carat weight, should be at least worth a million."

Wen Man doesn't want it.

But the express package didn't have Huo Shaoting's contact information. She understood that he didn't want to see her again.

After work, Wen Man went to "Yingjie" law firm. She put the velvet box on the counter and asked them to give it to Lawyer Huo.

The front desk attendant, though puzzled, agreed nonetheless.

Wen Man was just about to leave when Huo Shaoting walked out with the same young girl. Wen Man had seen her in a magazine.

Huo Mingzhu, the jewel in the palm of the Huo family, is also Huo Shaoting's only younger sister.

Half a year ago, Huo Mingzhu returned from her studies abroad and quickly fell in love with Gu Changqing.

At this moment, Huo Mingzhu was coquettishly clinging to her brother's arm and saying, "Brother, I've invited you several times, just meet Gu Changqing once!"

He Shao-Ting casually brushed off his sister.

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be angry and bickered with him, but anyone could see that the siblings had a very good relationship.

Wen Man watched quietly.

She didn't hate Huo Mingzhu, she was just a little self-deprecating—

With such a deep sibling bond, why did she previously think Huo Shaoting could defend her in court

Wen Man quietly left.

When Huo Shaoting saw her, he sent Huo Mingzhu away with a few words and walked to the front desk.

The front desk attendant immediately handed him the jewelry box: "Mr. Huo, this was left by the lady who was here just now."

Ho Shao-ting took it and nodded gracefully.

Back in the office, he tossed the box into a drawer and for a long time, he almost forgot about Wen Man. He only vaguely remembered her when his body needed some release.
