Wen Man trembled slightly under his gaze.
Huo Shaoting gave her his cell phone: "Call your aunt so she won't worry!... Turn off your phone for a day!"
Wen Man took the phone and thanked her softly, then walked to the window and called Aunt Ruan.
Aunt Ruan was still worried that she would compromise with Gu Changqing, so she couldn't help asking a few more questions!
Wen Man bit her lip and didn't know what to say.
The phone was taken by a slender hand, and Huo Shaoting said in a very gentle tone: "Aunt Ruan, Wen Man is with me! My last name is Huo, and I'm lawyer Huo Shaoting."
Wen Man was surprised and shocked.
She didn't expect Huo Shaoting to be willing to expose this relationship... Does he know what he is doing?
Not only her, but Aunt Ruan on the other end of the phone was also stunned.
She pinched herself hard: I'm awake, not dreaming! Is the person
on the other side really Huo Shaoting?
Gu Changqing's bastard brother-in-law?
Aunt Ruan's tongue seemed to be taken away by a cat, and she couldn't say a word. Huo Shaoting was free and easy, and explained the reason why Wen Man was there with him in a few words.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Shaoting looked at Wen Man: "Go to the kitchen and make some ginger tea, drink it and go to bed first... I have some things to deal with."
He walked into the study.
Wen Man gently pulled his sleeve: "Huo Shaoting."
Huo Shaoting turned around.
Wen Man spoke with difficulty: "Me and... Me and Gu Changqing..." She was referring to the agreement between her and Gu Changqing.
Huo Shaoting's eyes darkened and he said slowly: "I thought you had made a choice by coming back with me."
He stretched out his palm and placed it on her heart, rubbing it gently.
"There will be nothing between you and Gu Changqing."
Huo Shaoting said and went into the study. Wen Man pondered over the meaning of his words... She later thought that he was willing to make an exception mainly for Huo Mingzhu! Only if he wanted her, Gu Changqing would be willing to give up.
Wen Man felt a little relieved.
She went to the kitchen to prepare to make ginger tea. Huo Shaoting's kitchen was like a model room. She doubted whether he had used it, but when she opened the refrigerator, she found that it was full of categories, including meat, eggs and milk.
Wen Man took out a piece of ginger and boiled two bowls of ginger tea.
She gave one to Huo Shaoting.
In the study, Huo Shaoting was on the phone. When Wen Man came to the door, he did not avoid her and gestured for Wen Man to come in.
Wen Man put the ginger tea on his desk and was about to leave.
But her wrist was caught, and he gently pulled her to sit on his lap.
Huo Shaoting continued to talk to lawyer Jiang Ming, and his other hand was not idle either. Wen Man was overwhelmed by his teasing and lay on his shoulder and gently bit his shoulder.
Huo Shaoting looked at her with his dark eyes, and there was a faint flame in his eyes.
Jiang Ming over there suddenly mentioned Wen Man.
Huo Shaoting smiled lightly: "She is here with me, do you want to talk to her?"
Lawyer Jiang was stunned, and then joked: "Shaoting, you are so quick, Jiang Rui knows that he will cry at home."
"He is not so fragile!" Huo Shaoting said in a few words.
He quickly finished the discussion and took a few more documents, all about Wen Boyan's case.
When he was a little free, he drank the ginger tea in one gulp and asked Wen Man to go to bed first, saying that he had something else to do.
Wen Man did not ask to sleep in the guest room in a pretentious way. She knew what he wanted!
Entering the master bedroom, Wen Man lifted the thin quilt and lay down carefully. In the darkness, her skin looked crystal clear against the black sheets...
She was somewhat nervous. She didn't know when Huo Shaoting would come back to sleep.
Would he...
