Chapter 130: Huo Shaoting: I'll Make Way for You

…Ho Shao-ting came back at seven in the evening.He planned to change into a new suit and attend the banquet with Wen Man, but when he saw Wen Man, his eyes couldn't help but linger..."The dress looks...Wen Man kicked him lightly.

Huo Shaoting winced in pain. Wen Man seized the opportunity to pull her suitcase out of the bedroom.

But Ho Shaoting was tall, and as Wen Man was about to open the door, he caught her hand.

Huo Shaoting's eyes were deep: "Are you really leaving"

Wen Man lowered her eyes.

She whispered, "Let go!"

Ho Shao-ting lowered his head slightly, leaning closer to her, his tone softened: "The main house sent over some food. Let's eat together!"

Wen Man knew this was his tactic.

But whenever he wants to coax a woman, Huo Shaoting puts on some tenderness and succeeds every time.

Wasn't she, Wen Man, repeatedly indulging in his so-called tenderness and pampering, unable to extricate herself Only at the end did she realize that it was just a trick he played, and only she took it seriously.

Wen Man gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Don't want to eat! It's unnecessary!"

Ho Shao-ting frowned slightly, but his hand did not loosen.

At a stalemate.

The doorbell rang...

Wen Man guessed that it must be Qiao An outside the door, who else could it be

She gave him a cold smile. “ Huo Shaoting, there are people from the east to the west of the city who want to have dinner with you. There's no need to hold onto me so tightly!”

Ho Shao-ting's face grew even darker.

He let go of her hand.

Wen Man took a deep breath and opened the door.

As expected, Joan stood at the door, still holding a present in her hand.

She saw the suitcase in Wen Man's hand, and her fox-like beautiful eyes curved innocently... as if very surprised.

"Miss Wen, I'm here to apologize."

"Because I fought with Shao Ting because of you, I'm sorry!"

"I... I didn't mean to affect your feelings, did I"

……

That tea talk was making Wen Man feel disgusted.

She skillfully dragged her suitcase towards the elevator, and behind her came Huo Shaoting's displeased voice: "Wen Man!"

Last night they did have a disagreement.

But he didn't go to the office today, he waited for her on purpose.

He's already explained himself, even apologized, but she's so stubborn!

Wen Man's body froze, her eyes reddening.

Lately, she had truly fallen for Huo Shaoting, but he only saw her as a pastime. If she stayed with him, cooked for him, and waited for him to come home with the mindset of a dutiful wife…

Then she's just too cheap!

Wen Man turned around.

She didn't look at Huo Shaoting, but spoke to Qiao An instead: "Ms. Qiao, congratulations. Now, whether it's the gde or the white dress, or even Mr. Huo Shaoting... they all belong to you. Be happy"

The elevator doors opened.

Wen Man walked in and threw out another sentence.

"I've moved everything out of the way for you!"

……

Ho Shaoting watched the elevator doors close, his face darkening.

Joan stepped forward.

She purred, "You had an argument"

Ho Shaoting's attitude was bad, and he retorted, "What are you here for again"

Joan held up the gift box in her hand: "I'm here to apologize to Miss Wen!"

"It's unnecessary!"

Ho Shaoting lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He took a slow drag and told Qiao An, "I said last night, don't come looking for me again. If you feel down, call a hotline or something like that, or go see a psychologist."

Joan's face was pale.

That look, quite pitiful and deserving of a man's sympathy.

"Shaoting, are you really going to let an unrelated woman affect our relationship that has been built since we were young"

"I don't believe you care about her."

……

Huo Shaoting's expression turned even colder.

He said, "Joan, women sometimes put on an act for flirtation, but too much acting can seem insincere!"

He remembered Wen Man.

Both Wen Man and he came from humble beginnings.

When she liked him, her eyes could well up with tears. When she didn't, she made no effort to hide it.

She cut things off immediately, without any hesitation!

Huo Shaoting had been surrounded by women who admired and pursued him since he was a child. No one ever dared to act capriciously or give him an attitude, not even Qiao An when she was angry.

Wen Man is fine, he's invited back a young lady!

Ho Shao-ting was so angry that his heart ached.

He was about to close the apartment door when Joan blocked it.

He wouldn't let her in: "Joan, we're over!"

……

Joanna wouldn't let go.

After a long while, she spoke softly.

"If I break off my engagement with him, Shaoting, do we still have a chance"

Huo Shaoting stared at her intently.

After a long moment, a smirk played on his lips: "What do you think"

After that, he pulled his hand away from hers and slammed the apartment door shut.

The apartment was quiet.

She worried: "Could there be something else going on"

But no matter what, Wen Man had to meet the other party. To everyone's surprise, Mr. Xu was particularly polite and gentle, and even invited them to a meal.

Mr. Xu, please be at ease.

"I heard that Teacher Wen is particularly good at teaching piano. My wife and I have a daughter, so we brought her over to Teacher Wen's place that day to get her eyes on, to see if she has the talent! If Teacher Wen doesn't mind, she can learn piano from Teacher Wen in the future."

Once he said that, everything was settled.

Li Jie winked at Wen Man.

Wen Man smiled and shook hands with Xu: "Mr. Xu, you are too kind! I should treat you to a meal with Ms. Li."

Mr. Xu is very generous and signed a letter of intent on the spot.

Wen Man saw the payment account, which came from a newly registered company.

Mr. Xu noticed her expression and smiled meaningfully.

He shook hands again. "On Saturday, my wife and I would like to invite General Manager Li and Teacher Wen for a meal. Please don't miss it."

Mr. Xu left.

He sat in the car and sent a WeChat message.

Gu Changqing immediately replied a message.

Thank you, Xu Zong. I'll treat you to dinner tonight.

……

Bidding farewell to Mr. Xu.

Li Jie held the letter of intent and kissed it again and again.

She said, "Mr. Xu is probably here because of his daughter. Wen Man, you're the hero of our music room this time."

Wen Man ground the coffee beans and brewed two cups of coffee.

When she received it from Ms. Li, she frowned slightly.

She always felt that something was off about how smoothly things were going.

Just as I was deep in thought, Jiang Rui's phone call came through.

"Wen Man, would you like to have dinner with me"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!er, or maybe test her!Now that we've opened up the conversation and removed that barrier,I should have killed her, but with a sick child, where could parents possibly find the time to think about that...
