Chapter 126: Turns out, she was overreaching!
was deep as he looked at the woman in his arms, his voice raspy: “Let her wait a moment!”In past years, clients of the firm would visit around New Year's.In this direction, Huo Shaoting would never tu...Wen Man remained silent for a long time.
Ho Shao-ting still had some patience, and he said gently again: "I'll pick you up in the evening."
After a long time, Wen Man heard herself say good.
She knew that if Huo Shaoting wanted something, he would spare no effort.
He wanted to sleep with her, he was showering her with affection, she didn't understand why he acted this way; he seemed to know women so well. But when he finally made his move, she knew she couldn't resist.
This night was more romantic and crazy than all their previous nights.
Every corner of the apartment is filled with his love words!
He held her and they tumbled for half the night…
Wen Man had to admit that she got the best enjoyment and the most stimulating sensory experience from Huo Shaoting.
Early morning.
When Wen Man woke up, Huo Shaoting was tying his tie at the bedside.
Seeing that she had woken up, he bent down and kissed her.
"The opening banquet, are you really going" Wen Man asked softly, her eyes sparkling again after last night.
He Shao-Ting hummed in response, "There might be a court hearing that runs late, but it'll definitely be over by nine o'clock this evening. How will Teacher Wen introduce me when the time comes"
Wen Man hugged his neck and said something in English.
Huo Shaoting's eyes flickered, if it weren't for the time constraint, he would have dealt with her right there and then.
He had a court hearing this morning and left soon after.
Wen Man's body ached a little, but the music room was something she and Sister Li had set up together. She couldn't bear to let Sister Li do all the work by herself, so after resting for a while, she got up again.
She spent the whole day meeting with parents.
She didn't have time to get back to her apartment until six in the evening, when she changed into a dress suitable for the dinner party.
A pale pink long dress, with a fitted waist that accentuates the slim figure.
Wen Man again put up her brown hair, adorning it with a pair of pearl earrings.
Especially clear and elegant.
Wen Man's makeup looked good. Looking in the mirror, she couldn't help but blush.
She wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, but her current outfit seemed a bit too intentional in catering to Huo Shaoting's aesthetic preferences. She knew what he liked, and the way she dressed now would make him particularly want to hold her…
Wen Man dared not think any further.
She tidied up and went downstairs, ready to depart.
Today is a very important day for her, and both her dad and Aunt Ruan will be there. Huo Shaoting also said he wants to meet them. Although she tried hard to keep her feelings in check, she knew deep down that she was looking forward to it.
Perhaps Huo Shaoting treated her differently.
Perhaps this time he's serious...
Wen Man sat in the car and sent him a WeChat message.
I've gone to the hotel, please message me when you arrive.
After sending the WeChat message, Huo Shaoting replied with a single "Good" after about 10 minutes. Wen Man knew he was very busy today, so she didn't bother him again.
She drove to the banquet hotel alone.
Her parents and friends have arrived, Wen Man is socializing with everyone.
Aunt Ruan waited for a long time but didn't see Huo Shaoting. She pulled Warm Man aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is Lawyer Huo Wasn't he supposed to come"
Wen Man smiled faintly and said, “He has a court hearing that might be delayed.”
Aunt Ruan let out a sigh of relief.
"That's right, I thought you two were fighting again."
Wen Man didn't speak, but the flirtation in her eyes and eyebrows betrayed that she was being spoiled by a man. Aunt Ruan was a woman of experience, so she took one look and stopped asking.
At this time, Sister Li came over.
She held a list of gifts in her hand.
There are two sums of money, and I don't think it would be appropriate for me to tell you about them.
Wen Man didn't think too much, taking it and asking: "What's the problem"
But after seeing it, she fell silent.
One payment of 5 million yuan was made by Jiang Rui. He didn't give too much or too little, it was exactly 5 million.
Li Jie let out a light cough. "Were the two of them plotting this, or are they just being spiteful"
Wen Man thought for a moment: “This is really not suitable to accept, I’ll return it to them later.”
Lily gave her a thumbs up and then complimented her, "You really suit pastel dresses. You always look different from others every time you wear them. It must be because of your skin! Your skin is especially delicate, Wenman."
Wen Man smiled faintly.
She glanced at her watch. It was past eight-thirty.
... Huo Shaoting should be here in a moment...
She didn't want to disturb his work, so she didn't call.
9 o'clock……
Nine thirty ...
Huo Shaoting still hadn't come over, and Aunt Ruan was starting to get impatient. She pulled Warm Man aside and whispered, "Why hasn't he arrived yet Your father has asked about him."
Wen Man walked to the balcony and dialed Huo Shaoting's number.
His phone was switched off...
Wen Man's complexion slowly lost its redness.
She gave Aunt Ruan a strained smile. "Maybe he's already on his way."
Although Aunt Ruan held onto hope, she also saw that Wen Man was uncomfortable. She softly comforted her: "I'll find an excuse for your father, Wen Man... don't take it to heart."
Wen Man softly hummed in agreement.
Aunt Ru left.
Wen Man still stood on the balcony. She hesitated for a moment before dialing her secretary's number.
Ms. Zhang was quite surprised to receive her call.
"Lawyer Huo left at 8:30."
Wen Man thanked her.
She thought, Huo Shaoting must be stuck in traffic on the way...
She still held onto hope in her heart, hoping that at this important moment in her bustling life, he would appear and say to her: "Congratulations to my little gde."
but there wasn't...
The lively banquet lasted until 10:30 pm, and guests gradually left. Even Wen Boyer and Aunt Ruan were arranged to leave by car. Huo Shaoting still did not appear.
His phone was still off.
Wen Man knew about Huo Shaoting's work nature and his cautious personality, he usually didn't turn off his phone easily.
She had a vague feeling about something, but she didn't want to believe it.
These days they've been getting along so well, she didn't want to think about him because of that person and ruin the balance between them... She thought, when they meet, they should have a good talk.
Wen Man and Li Jie left last.
As I got into the car, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
The night sky suddenly flared, as if ripped open alive, a terrifying sight.
Rain, like it's pouring down...
Wen Man dialed Huo Shaoting's phone again.
She lowered her eyelashes and started the car...
The rain, it's getting heavier and heavier.
The windshield wiper kept swaying, and the road ahead was also misty. Wen Man felt that her heart was a bit unsettled, driving in such rainy weather was somewhat dangerous.
She pulled over and parked the car on the side of the road.
There was a hotel next door, and she hesitated whether to spend the night there, but then she thought of Huo Shaoting.
His phone is turned off.
Could he have gotten into trouble...
Wen Man took out her phone, wanting to call him again to see if he had turned it on.
But when she held the phone to her ear, her eyes fixed.
Across the street, a golden Continental was parked. Through a pane of glass, Wen Man saw Huo Shaoting.
He sat quietly, a look of confusion and pain on his face that she had never seen before.
At this moment, the car door opened……
A tall and slender figure dashed out from the passenger seat, Wen Man recognized it was Qiao An.
Joanne ran whimsically in the rain. After about ten seconds, Huo Shaoting got out of the car and quickly caught up to Joanne, reaching out a hand to pull her into his embrace.
Wen Man's hand, clutching the phone, was rigid.
The wipers, they're still going back and forth...
Everything before me is clear yet blurry.
She saw Joan hug Huo Shaoting's waist, she saw Huo Shaoting didn't push Joan away...
Joann seems to be crying.
Ho Shaoting's hand gently rested on top of her head, his expression hesitant and pained.
Looking at the couple who once loved so passionately, Wen Man suddenly let out a soft smile. She smiled at herself... for being over her head!long fingers, taking puffs now and then.Seeing her come out, he immediately put out his cigarette."So soon"He put a scarf around her, Wen Man held his palm and whispered, "After going in, there's noth...
