Chapter 201: After the Breakup, Lawyer Huo Had a Hard Time!

tly, the more he looked, the more he felt that this child was born well.Heels clicking echoed from downstairs.He shouldn't have gone out, because the only person who could possibly be in this house at...It was already afternoon when I woke up.

The air conditioner in the apartment wasn't on very high, the temperature was just right.

Footsteps came from the living room outside, light and faint, barely audible unless you listened closely.

Wen Man quickly sat up.

To her surprise, appearing in her house was Zhang the secretary from Huo Shaoting's side, followed by a doctor.

"I heard you were sick, Mr. Wen," Zhang's secretary said cheerfully. "Mr. Huo asked me to bring a doctor over to check on you! He has an important meeting today, otherwise he would come himself."

Wen Man's head was still dizzy, but she felt even more embarrassed at this moment.

She and Huo Shaoting's relationship, no one would know better than Zhang's secretary. Even on New Year's Eve at Huo Shaoting's apartment, Zhang's secretary probably heard quite a bit!

Wen Man ignored those.

She whispered, “It’s probably just a cold, nothing serious!”

Ms. Zhang smiled, "But Lawyer Huo is very concerned!"

Wen Man felt even more embarrassed.

The doctor spoke very little. After the examination, he gave Wen Man an injection and left.

Only loved ones remain in the apartment!

Ms. Zhang, a seasoned veteran of the workplace, could ignore even the most awkward atmosphere. Not only was she not uncomfortable, but she also donned an apron and said with a smile, "Don't eat greasy food when you're sick. I'll make some porridge for you! I see there are lilies in the refrigerator."

Wen Man thought she was too much trouble.

Ms. Zhang gently pressed her, "Mr. Huo doesn't trust outsiders to come over. I happen to have half a day off today, and I can pick up my son earlier later."

Wen Man smiled.

She knew Zhang's secretary was Huo Shaoting's confidante and always spoke cautiously.

Zhang the secretary was cooking porridge and chatting with her, talking about some things that happened after Wen Man and Huo Shaoting broke up. At the end, she sighed softly: "Wen Man, Huo Lawyer hasn't had a good time these past six months!"

She knew about the conflict between Wen Man and Huo Shao Ting, and she felt a bit guilty about it.

If she hadn't asked Wen Man to help her deliver the files that night, perhaps they wouldn't have broken up. But as a woman, she was also quite grateful that Wen Man went that day. Otherwise, they really would have ended up like many couples, not making it to the end...

Zhang's secretary spoke at length.

Wen Man sipped her porridge slowly and said, "You don't need to blame yourself! I and him were never because of others, not even entirely because of Qiao An. Even when Qiao An cut her wrists time and time again, we didn't break up! It was... our own problems."

He Shao-ting is willing to get married, just like everyone else in high society.

He has a suitable wife and has given birth to an heir!

He likes her body, he can be faithful within a certain period of time, but after that expiration date, no one can tell for sure.

She can't, he can't...

But Wen Man wants a lifetime with only one person!

She had never loved someone so boldly and fearlessly, so desperately wanting to be with him. But she thought, she would never feel this way again!

He scared the daylights out of her with that punch!

Wen Man didn't say these things.

Between her and him, there wasn't really a matter of right or wrong, nor was forgiveness necessary. It was just that she had become indifferent.

Now a year has passed.

Whatever he does to her, she will continue, but she will keep her heart safe.

……

Zhang's secretary left at 4:30.

At eight o'clock that evening, Huo Shaoting called her. Wen Man didn't play coy and answered directly.

Over the phone, Huo Shaoting's voice was light: "Are you feeling better"

Wen Man hummed in acknowledgement. "Thank you for having Zhang's secretary look after me!"

There was a brief silence on the phone.

Ho Shao-ting smiled. "Do you want me to come over I just got off work and can buy you some of your favorites... There's a concert tonight, but it's a shame you can't see it because you're sick. How about we watch the live stream at home instead"

Wen Man knew what he meant.

He was closing the distance between them, imagining a normal, loving relationship.

She doesn't have that kind of mindset.

But she couldn't easily offend him, so she vaguely said: "I don't feel well and want to sleep. How about the weekend I'll accompany you on the weekend."

He Shao-ting didn't speak.

Wen Man didn't speak either.

An eerie silence hung between them, until finally Huo Shaoting spoke, "If you're feeling unwell, get some rest."

Wen Man nodded and hung up the phone.

Over there, Huo Shaoting held his phone, sitting in a black Maybach. The streetlights cast a shadow on his profile... He was just downstairs from Wen Man's apartment building.

She didn't want him to go up.

He Shao-ting opened the car door and got out, carrying a bag full of things girls love to eat.

Of course, there's also a set of toiletries.

For men.

He had planned to stay here overnight and take care of her, but unfortunately, she refused.

Ho Shaoting was never a man who would swallow his losses silently. Since he had come, there was no reason for him not to let her know, but he always maintained his dignity. He hung the bag on her doorknob...

……

In the early morning, Wen Man opened the door to take Xiaobai for a walk.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the two bags. She guessed they were left by Huo Shaoting, so she took them back and examined them one by one.

,

Razors, bathrobes, men's underwear...

Wen Man was speechless.

She put the things down, feigning ignorance as if nothing had happened.

She did set a one-year deadline with him, but she wasn't about to let him invade her private life. She wasn't going to let him have that!

When Zhou Muyan went to work downstairs, he didn't come to pick her up.

Wen Man couldn't drive herself, so she had to take a taxi to the music center. Luckily, her friend was there at the music center.

From that day on, Zhou Muyan gave her the cold shoulder.

He refused to drive her anywhere and hardly ever came to see her!

Wen Man didn't pressure him, and he even hired a driver. However, she kept an eye on his whereabouts. Knowing that he wasn't indulging in anything reckless and was diligently working, Aunt Ruan also told her that he went to bed early every night. She felt reassured.

This day Zhou Muyu finally agreed to see her.

but his attitude was cold.

Wen Man flipped through the report, asking in a soft voice, "Are you going to keep working with your emotions"

Zhou Muyan's eyes were sharp and fierce.

He glared at her so fiercely, he almost wanted to burn a hole into her with his eyes. This woman... this woman was simply too ungrateful!

Wen Man finished reading and then let him leave!

Zhou Muyan turned and left, but once outside he couldn't hold it in anymore. He pounded the wall with his fists...and threw a small pill from his hand to the ground, crushing it underfoot!

Wen Man walked out and silently watched him.

Zhou Muyan stiffened and turned away, still glaring at her, his eyes filled with hurt.

Wen Man said calmly, "Zhou Muyan, there are many things in this world that you can't get just because you want them...Besides, have you thought about what to do after you get it"

Zhou Muyan was drenched in cold sweat.

She knew…

Wen Man looked down at the small red pill and said softly, "Clean it up, don't let anyone see it! If you feel unhappy staying here, go back to the market!"

Zhou Muyan stiffened.

He knew he should leave, but he felt like if he did, he'd be a coward. Just a complete failure. That Huo guy would probably laugh for three days!

The husky dog crossed his arms and said, "I'm not leaving! I'm gonna make something of myself and show you, woman, that you regret not choosing me!"

Wen Man knew that his anger had passed.

She smiled slightly: "Considering your recent performance, your bonus this month will be deducted by 12,000!"

The little wolfdog exclaimed in surprise!

He knew this woman was tough-mouthed and tough-hearted, just like that Huo family. A standard capitalist!

He snorted and walked away!

This afternoon, Wen Man received a phone call from Zhou Chuanren who said his son was very sensible: "Mu Yan said he will return to Zhou's company in a year. Wen Man... Uncle is grateful to you!"

Wen Man politely made some small talk.

She didn't refuse the benefits Zhou Chuanren had promised... Joking aside, his precious son was almost driven crazy and had to resort to pills! She definitely had to accept this little something.

After getting rid of the "little wolf dog," Wen Man's mood improved considerably.

But this good mood didn't last long, because Huo Shaoting's call came. He chuckled on the phone and said, "I'll pick you up in a bit! Come to my villa I'm living there now!"ou couldn't say he was innocent and fastidious, but he was definitely picky.No one had ever caught his eye, except for Anran.But now this woman is before him, unbuttoning her clothes, crying.She would...
