Wen Man had never seen such a shameless person.
She stormed off.
He didn't follow up, but he seemed to have made arrangements in advance. When Wen Man went out, a shiny black RV was parked at the door, and the driver said respectfully, "Miss Wen, where are you going? Mr. Huo instructed me to take you there."
Wen Man refused to accept it.
She had a feeling that Huo Shaoting had set a trap, waiting for her to walk right into it.
She doesn't want to, she doesn't want to even more!
As night fell, she walked alone on the street. Though the neon lights were dazzling, she had no heart to admire them.
Walking all the way to the Ci Le Yuan amusement park, a Ferris wheel with colorful lights rotated in the air, accompanied by bursts of children's laughter, pure and endearing.
Wen Man stopped in her tracks.
She looked on quietly, thinking that in a few years, Jingchen and Baiwei's children might also come to play. Baiwei wouldn't dare to play, but Jingchen would accompany their child onto it...
A family of three should be very happy.
Wen Man wanted to go see Bai Wei.
She bought some nutritional supplements and went to Bai Wei's apartment, but Jingchen was out.
Wen Man entered the room and put down her things.
She saw Bai Wei's face pale, estimating that she hadn't been in a good mood lately and hadn't eaten well.
Wen Man sat down on the small sofa and picked up a book lying nearby. It was a parenting manual. Bai Wei came back just then and saw it, the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Bai Wei put down the coffee in her hand, her voice trembling: "Wen Man, will you look down on me!"
Wen Man patted her on the back, feigning ease: "What are you thinking about! Getting pregnant is a good thing. Many people are unable to conceive and want a child so badly that they have to go through so much trouble. You got pregnant just like that, so take good care of yourself and wait for the baby to be born. It will definitely be beautiful. Both you and Jingchen are good-looking."

She gently hugged Wen Man, her voice choked with tears: "Wen Man, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't give this child happiness! It came at the wrong time! Jingchen...Jingchen has had a terrible fight with his family over this. I...I'm very afraid he won't be able to hold on!"
Wen Man embraced her, holding her gently for a while.
She spoke, "Jingchen seems to love you quite a bit, and he'll love the child too in the future. Bai Wei, give birth to the child. No matter what happens to Yao Zian or Jingchen, this child being born is the best… at worst… I'll help raise him!"
Bai Wei leaned against her shoulder, tears streaming down her face.
She wasn't a weak person by nature, but after everything she went through this past year, she became sensitive and fragile.
Wen Man didn't say much, and she didn't mention going to ask Huo Shao Ting.
As she left, she left behind a check for 2 million dollars, saying it was a dividend from the music center. But Bai Wei knew that the amount of money she had invested wouldn't yield so much in a year, and she hesitated to accept it.
Wen Man shoved the money into her palm: "Money for raising a child!"
Bai Wei smiled: "Then let the baby call you Dad!"
Wen Man rarely swore, but this time she did: "F*** you!"
……
When Wen Man left, she ran into Yao Zian downstairs in her apartment building.
He had no intention of going up, so he just sat in the car smoking. When Wen Man came down, he quickly got out of the car.
"Wen Man!"
After going through so much, Wen Man really hated him, but she didn't want to say those hurtful words. She just whispered: "Let Bai Wei go, you know in your heart..."
Yao Zian's face fell. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, then flicked it to the ground and stomped it out.
He looked at Wen Man.
Their relationship hadn't been good for a long time, but right now he was unusually polite: "Wen Man, don't look at Bai Wei as she always seems to be putting on airs, but she doesn't have your decisiveness and listens to you very much... I know I offended you quite a bit in the past, but seeing my years of friendship with Bai Wei, say a few good words for me, as long as she is willing to come back, I will pretend nothing ever happened, not even mention a word!"
Wen Man, seeing his appearance, also felt downcast.
She said calmly, "Yao Zian, you never truly loved Bai Wei. When you pursued her, you were already involved with Ding Cheng. True love includes loyalty, and you've never had that!"
Yao Zian was stunned.
He blushed, "Wen Man, I was wrong! Please give her a message from me."
Wen Man shook her head gently, it was too late.
Even without that child, Bai Wei couldn't turn back...
*
Wen Man went back home.
Jingchen sent her a WeChat message, thanking her and not asking about the result.
But Wen Man knew, Jingchen was very eager to know.
Later, she found out through someone that Jingchen had a huge fight with his family. The Jing family's stance was that if they insisted on being together, Bai Wei had to have an abortion. She would only be allowed to marry into the Jing family after she was "pure" again.
Kid, there's more!
Wen Man leaned against the balcony, looking at the crescent moon hanging in the sky. Ah Jingchen and Bai Wei were both so young, they could still have children. But even if they had several more, none of them would be like this one in her belly!
Can they go on without their children?

Wen Man wasn't a saint, but whenever she thought of Bai Wei crying, her heart softened with pity.
It is very late at night...
She dialed Huo Shaoting's phone, but it went straight to voicemail. He didn't return her call until one in the morning, his voice hoarse: "What's wrong with Wen Man? I'm out of town on a business trip, I'll be back tomorrow morning!"
He reported meticulously, as if the argument from that day's meeting had never existed!
Wen Man was silent for a long time before she softly said, "About that day's events, I want to talk to you again."
Ho Shao-ting chuckled: "You agree?"
"No!" Wen Man tried to keep her voice calm: "But I think we have room for negotiation!"
Ho Shao-ting smiled like he was bathed in the spring breeze.
He had just finished a formal banquet and was standing in the hotel lobby enjoying the breeze. He was extremely happy.
Then how about we have dinner together tomorrow evening.
"Let's talk at your office!"
"Wuman, do you think it's appropriate to talk about our future in the office?"
……
Wen Man was a little annoyed.
She ground her teeth together, a row of tiny white ones: " Huo Shaoting, I want to talk about Bai Wei!"
He didn't speak, just sat there quietly holding his phone, waiting for her to concede.
When it comes to patience, Wen Man would be no match for him.
For a long time, she whispered, " Huo Shaoting, even if it involves... us, I want to talk to you at the firm. Otherwise, let's not talk."
Ho Shao-ting also conceded.
He said rather proudly, "Fine! I have a half-hour free tomorrow morning at ten o'clock." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Wen Man held her phone, lost in thought for a while.
……
The next day, Wen Man arrived at the firm on time.
Everyone here knows her, after all Wen Man almost became Mrs. Huo. Since Zhang the secretary wasn't around, Huo Shaoting's second secretary led her into the office.
"Miss Wen, please! Mr. Huo is already waiting for you."
The door opened, Huo Shaoting sat behind his desk, holding a phone and talking. He was still in a three-piece suit today, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and an air of nobility mixed with a hint of smoldering sensuality.
The second-in-command winked.
Recently, Lawyer Huo seems to have paid special attention to his appearance. While he was handsome in the past, he definitely doesn't shine as brightly and brilliantly as he does now.
She took a moment to appreciate the view before going for a coffee.
Huo Shaoting looked at Wen Man and said to the person on the phone, "You figure it out! That's it, I have a client coming over."
He hung up the phone and gestured for Wen Man to sit down.
Wen Man sat on the single leather sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. There was a small coffee table in front of her, with several photo frames on it, most of which were pictures of Huo Shaoting in court. They were probably cases he was very satisfied with.
Wen Man's gaze fixed.
In the middle is a photo frame, holding her picture. It's a shot of her playing the piano in his apartment.
She remembered that day was after their first time together, he gave her a piano worth millions. At that time, she accepted a man's affection with a shy heart!
To the end, this affection had never meant anything…
Wen Man turned away, unwilling to look again.
Ho Shao-ting walked out from behind his desk and sat down on the sofa opposite her. He followed her gaze and picked up the photo frame, saying softly, "You didn't leave many photos, but after looking for a long time, I still think this one is best! Let's take more pictures later, and when we have our wedding photos taken, we'll put our picture together."
He chuckled, "From now on, every female client will know I'm a married man and save us both some trouble!"
……
Wen Man softly spoke: "There won't be any wedding photos!"
Ho Shaoting smiled, not at all angry. At this moment, the second secretary happened to bring coffee over, which eased the tension.
Huo Shaoting instructed her a few words.
The second secretary smiled and left, closing the door for them.
Ho Shaoting raised his coffee cup, took a small sip, and put it down. He stared at Wen Man softly and said, "Wen Man, you know what I want! I have fame, fortune, and power. Why should I give in to others? Unless you come back to me!"
Having said that, he gazed at her intently.
He and she had done this many times before, just sitting in front of him made him feel something, let alone the fact that she was very likely going to become his again. This was a stimulus for Huo Shaoting.
Wen Man understood the look in his eyes.
He just wants her.
She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, but her voice trembled: " Huo Shaoting, don't you just want to sleep with me? I'll accompany you, how much do you want?"
Ho Shao-ting remained motionless, his gaze fixed on her.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and rough. "Wen Man, is this how you think of me? Do you think I only want to sleep with you?"
Wen Man's face had completely lost its color.
Huo Shaoting pulled a gentle smile, he said: "What I want is to spend my life with you!"
