o Shaoting: "We can talk another day. I need to go to a meeting now!"Ho Shao-ting wiped the blood from his mouth and said with mockery: "Mr. Lu, in this state, how are you going to attend the meeting...Huo Shaoting cried out.

Lu Qian turned his head and pointed at the piano, smiling faintly: "It looks nice!"

Under the chandelier, Huo Shaoting had gentle eyes and a hint of nostalgia for the past: "My wife and I bought this when we first got together. It was in our apartment before, but now Huo Xi has moved it here!"

He made a gesture: "Sit!"

Lu Qian walked to the sofa and sat down, gently placing a file on it.

Ho Shao-ting picked it up and opened it.

That was an internal document, about seven or eight pages long. It listed xx's major offenses and ended with the prosecutor's sentencing recommendation.

Lu Qian's voice was low and heavy: "Death penalty! It will be carried out in two months, barring any unexpected circumstances!"

When he spoke, his eyes were deep and his mood was complex!

He learned some insider information, and he also found out why Huo Xi survived even after losing so much blood at the time!

He underestimated Ho Shao-ting!

When necessary, he can be truly ruthless!

After reading it, Huo Shaoting returned the file to Lu Qian.

He knew in his heart that the case had been solved so quickly because of Lu Qian's efforts! Although Lu Qian usually disagreed with him, at critical moments, behind closed doors they were like family.

Ho Shao-ting got up, walked to the bar, took out a bottle of red wine and two highball glasses, and smiled: "Have a drink"

He meant that they should drink and spend the night there.

Lu Qian waved his hand.

He looked up towards the top of the building and saw Wen Man standing there. He got up, patted the wrinkles on his pants legs, and smiled: "No, thank you! I have a meeting tomorrow morning!"

Ho Shaoting did not force him, but let him stay overnight.

Lu Qian patted his shoulder: "The driver is waiting for me! Shaoting, have a good time with Wen Man!"

As he spoke the last three words, he seemed to think of something, and his brow furrowed slightly.

In the end, it's hard to let go.

Ho Shaoting understood without needing to say anything. He didn't mention Huo Mingzhu, and he sent Lu Qian to his car.

A black Audi drove away slowly.

Huo Shaoting didn't immediately return to the villa. He stood alone in the parking lot, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it with his head...

Smoke filled the air, blurring his features.

He remembered a lot of past events.

Good...bad, but all of this will eventually become the past when Joan is brought to justice.

He smoked only one cigarette and then turned back.

Wen Man stood in the villa's foyer, the dim lights casting a soft glow on her face. Huo Shaoting hurried over and embraced her shoulder: "Why did you come out It's quite chilly outside!"

Wen Man grasped his hand.

She slowly intertwined her fingers with his, then leaned softly against his chest...

Ho Shaoting looked down at her, his voice incredibly gentle: "What's wrong You're even better at acting cute than Huo Xi! ... Want me to hug you"

Wen Man tightened her grip, murmuring, "Ho Shao-ting don't speak, I just want to hug you for a while!"

Just embrace each other quietly, doing nothing!

Ho Shaoting gently embraced her slender waist.

After a long while, he leaned down and kissed her: "From now on, call me Shaoting, okay"

She hummed in agreement, so well-behaved!

Huo Shaoting was a little bloodthirsty.

This is exactly how Wen Man is. When she's unhappy with him and has a temper, she won't let him do anything. But when she's willing to be submissive, she becomes incredibly soft and pliable... No matter how he handles her, she doesn't resist at all!

If this were a normal day, he might have acted like an animal.

But tonight, they need each other's warmth to soothe the wounds of the past!

……

On that side, Lu Qian sat in the car.

The driver asked softly, "Mr. Lu, where to now"

Lu Qian closed his eyes to meditate.

His mind flitted between important project secrets and... that person!

The next day after the meeting, he was supposed to head back to city C, as he was really busy.

He took on that task a few years ago.

Even with his busy schedule, Lu Qian always feels like he's walking on thin ice and every step is a struggle!

Outwardly, he was Mr. Lu, a man of great prestige whom everyone respected and addressed with honor. But behind closed doors, he yearned to meet the young girl he had a crush on. He even went so far as to rent an apartment for her, like a golden house to keep his beloved hidden away!

To this day, he still remembers the heartbreak of breaking up with her two years ago.

He, who has always been a moderate man in his lifestyle, smoked two packs of cigarettes in one night.

He restrained himself from seeing her!

If she is not around, he will not lose his sanity and will not fall into love like a naive young man again. For so long, he thought he had moved on, but... he hadn't!

Lu Qian still couldn't hold back; he drove to see her alone.

But when he saw her, she was not alone.

She was with a very young and polite man, walking out of the cinema, which had recently been showing a rather famous love movie, "Lost in Romance 3".

She's having dinner with a man, on a date!

It wasn't until nine o'clock at night that the man sent her home!

At the entrance of the Huo family villa, Lu Qian's car was parked a short distance away. He quietly watched the well-matched couple, his mood complicated. He thought to himself that he was jealous!

If he were younger, if he weren't weighed down by all this, he could get out of the car right now and grab that kid by the collar and roar: Stay away from my woman!

But now he can only stay in the dark, watching silently!

Hu Mingzhu got out of the car and watched as the man drove away.

This time, Qin Yi introduced me to a really good guy. He's also willing to get to know each other... She had dinner and watched movies with him, feeling it was neither bad nor good.

Perhaps everywhere else, marriage is possible.

In the darkness, she stood there, a sheen of tears glistening in her eyes for some unknown reason.

Lu Qian walked over and called her, "Mingzhu!"

Huo Mingzhu took a step back.

She had a dazed expression on her face, somewhat at a loss, but mostly guarded.

Lu Qian slightly raised his chin, gesturing to his car: "Get in the car and talk!"

Huo Mingzhu refused.

She took two steps and wanted to call the security guard to open the door, but Lu Qian was very fast. He grabbed her arm and forcefully dragged her into the car.

The car door slammed shut.

He soon followed her into the car, turning his head to ask: "Blind date"

Ho Mingzhu didn't deny it, her tone was very calm: "Yes! He's a good person! And he's met ShuoShuo too, he can accept ShuoShuo's existence!"

Lu Qian's Adam's apple bobbed.

Given his status, if someone had told him before that his son would call another man "father," it would have been a joke. But now, this situation is actually possible.

The little girl he had taken, was going to sleep with others.

His son, is going to call someone else "Dad"!

Lu Qian lit a cigarette, tilting his chin slightly and taking small puffs...

He is handsome.

Smoking is attractive, and he is much more pleasing to the eye than an ordinary man.

There were so many times he trapped her beneath his body, showering her with intense affection. Afterward, he would lean against the headboard and smoke, his mood a complex mix of emotions at that time, a tinge of guilt among them.r, but still retracted his hand and slowly went downstairs.He went downstairs and, for no reason at all, suddenly turned back to her and asked, "How's that man doing"Huo Mingzhu fell silent for a mome...
