er.She leaned against his shoulder, her heart still pounding, and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.After a long embrace, Huo Shaoting let her stay with Huo Xi and he walked out for a cigarette...The next day, when he woke up, he saw Wen Man's face.

She squatted beside the sofa, tucking Huo Xi's little feet in.

I reckon I discovered his secret last night. Their eyes held a different kind of look, but Wen Man was still gentle and considerate: "Why are you sleeping in the study with Huo Xi"

He stared at her for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, "I was afraid I'd wake you."

Such excuses, they both know.

Wen Man didn't ask any further, she just patted Huo Xi's little head and said, "I'm going to make breakfast."

She stood up to leave, but her arm was caught. Huo Shaoting's voice was low, "Wen Man, I want to eat what you make too."

Wen Man was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said okay.

She left, her figure slender and graceful. She seemed to know what he was up to.

But he didn't say, and she refused to give.

But, he said, will she give it

When Wen Man was making breakfast, Huo Shaoting came in. He was dressed impeccably, smelling fresh and slightly of aftershave when he got closer.

He leaned close to Wen Man, demanding a good morning kiss.

He kissed lightly behind her tender ear, his voice a husky murmur, "Did you hear last night"

What...

Wen Man was momentarily confused.

She wanted to push him away, but Huo Shaoting grabbed her waist with one hand.

They were pressed together so closely, she could almost feel the heat of his desire. She couldn't help but think, wasn't last night enough for him Didn't he get himself satisfied already

"In a while, I'll have to send Huo Xi to school. You should also go to the company."

He still wouldn't let go of her, murmuring: "You're finding excuses again! Wen Man, are you just using these excuses to fob off your husband now Don't you care about any of this Not Chu Lian's letter, not my body, not even when I have social engagements and never call you..."

He finally spoke the words: "Wen Man, do you still love me"

Wen Man was momentarily stunned.

After they made up, he was very nice to her and never asked for anything from her.

Now, he is demanding love...

In this world, many things are achievable by human effort, but love at their age is a luxury. She still remembers how much she craved his love.

Now he is not satisfied.

Wen Man gently caressed his handsome face, which was so elegant and striking. It felt warm and real to the touch.

They are content with their life now.

She thought he was content too, but she didn't expect him to be so persistent.

Wen Man smiled faintly: “Love, of course.”

Ho Shao-ting stared at her for a long time, then whispered: "I asked Zhang's secretary to clear my schedule for a month. Let's travel as a family and visit all over China."

Wen Man frowned.

But Hsi had classes, and besides, her piano lessons couldn't be dropped, and there was also Yun-si who was too young, and…

She talked a lot, but she didn't give a definitive answer.

Huo Shaoting's eyes darkened slightly.

Actually, she didn't think about traveling with him. In fact, besides her normal life, she didn't have any expectations about being with him!

She...doesn't love him!

He watched her quietly.

After a long silence, he said, "Wen Man, let's go see a psychologist!"

He felt that either he was ill, or she had psychological problems.

Wen Man refused, turning back to continue making breakfast. Her voice was soft: "Shaoting, aren't we doing well now Many couples... go through this."

Ho Shao-ting did not hug her again.

He stood behind her, his voice a hoarse whisper: "Others are others, we are us."

He had seen Wen Man's passion for "Shao Ting," while she treated him like those couples who respected each other as equals, perfect and formulaic.

After half a year, Huo Shaoting finally admitted that he hadn't truly won her.

Because of his persistence,

In her subsequent life, Wen Man remained as gentle and considerate as ever, playing the roles of wife and mother well. Of course, she would also do her best to satisfy him in bed...

But Huo Shaoting found that Wen Man had no feeling.

He is often full of passion, but she remains unmoved. She simply goes along with him...

This is particularly disheartening for a man.

He can no longer bring her happiness.

He dared not coerce her, nor could he demand she fulfill her marital obligations any longer. What had once been a twice-a-week marital affair gradually dwindled to an occasional encounter once a month.

Days are bland and uneventful, but thankfully the children are healthy.

Huo Shaoting knew that Wen Man had psychological problems, but she was unwilling to seek treatment.

He treated her extra well.

He was afraid of her, that one day she would leave him because of this boredom.

As for the class reunion, it was postponed for a month due to special circumstances, and by the time it was held, it was nearing Golden October.

Wen Man accompanied Ming Zhu for a shopping trip.

Mingzhu is now a quite famous advertising model with a good income. She has slowly become independent, moving out of the Huo mansion with ShuoShuo. When this news came out, Wen Man was surprised for a long time, always feeling a little unbelievable.

But she didn't know about Mingzhu's obsession.

Because that person said he admired independent women, the little fool took it to heart.

After walking for a while, the two of them sat down and had coffee.

It just so happened that Bai Wei was also here, which was a pleasant surprise.

Bai Wei looked up and down at Wen Man, gently pinching her cheeks: "You said you eat something special, why don't you look older Your skin is getting better and better. Is it because Huo Shaoting takes extra good care of you"

Matters of marriage, Wen Man doesn't talk about much these days.

She just smiled.

Bai Wei sighed when she mentioned the reunion, "It feels like it's been several years since the last one. Wen Man, I wonder what everyone will be like when we see each other again!"

Bai Wei told some things she knew.

"Do you remember Ding Cheng He's been hanging around with a coal mine owner for years. He finally managed to get his wife killed off and has become the main wife now. He seems pretty pleased with himself these days."

"Gu Changqing is still alone!"

……

Wen Man listened quietly.

Even the pearl remained silent.

Gu Changqing seems to have become a stranger, as if he had never appeared.

After finishing their coffee, Mingzhu left first as she had something to do. Baiwei also needed to pick up her son.

Hoxie Kindergarten had an activity, Wen Man decided to wander around by herself. She felt deeply touched by this class reunion. It was on the night of the class reunion that she and Huo Shaoting had a relationship.

Women always remember their first time clearly.

Remembering the old events, she suddenly wanted to escape.

She called Huo Shaoting, asking him to pick up Huo Xi. She said she had something to attend to.

Over the phone, Huo Shaoting remained silent for a moment.

Finally, he said yes!

Wen Man didn't let the driver take her. She walked slowly along the street, remembering that in two blocks was their former shared apartment...

The sky was darkening.

Under the dazzling neon sky, she saw the Ferris wheel, still standing.

She stood quietly, her eyes glistening with tears.

At night, she opened the door to her apartment.

Everything remained the same, except for the gde being moved away. It still looked just as it did before. Wen Man sat quietly inside, and only when the night was deep and silent did she dare to ask herself —

Is it true Doesn't she love Ho Siu-ting

No matter how well he treated her, she stubbornly wore the old wedding ring and refused to take it off.

I don't want to, start over with him!

Her heart was filled with the past, rejecting the current Huo Shaoting. She didn't see him as her husband, only a tool to complete something… was she right

Is she really like that

Late at night, she remained motionless in her apartment.

Perhaps she was just too tired, and needed a rest. Here, she didn't need to play the role of a good wife anymore. She just needed to release her emotions freely, to cherish the past...

In the darkness, Wen Man wept silently.

The door creaked open, and a beam of light streamed in.

She softly lifted her eyes and saw her husband standing by the door, holding a plastic bag in his hand. She didn't know what was in it, but she smelled the aroma of food.

Ho Shao-ting's voice was warm and calm: "The children are all asleep, Huo Xi will be looking after Yunsi, and there are still servants at home, so we will stay here overnight tonight."

Wen Man looked at him quietly.

Ho Shaoting wanted to turn on the light, Wen Man whispered, "No, don't turn on the light!"

She didn't want to be too embarrassed in front of him.

Huo Shaoting closed the door and walked towards her in the dim light. He put down his things, then gently hugged her and whispered, "Wen Man... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

It was him ignoring her.

When she gave birth to Huo Xi, she suffered from postpartum depression.

Later, she gave birth to Yunsi, and he angered her again.

Everyone thought she was strong, and she believed she was too. After they reconciled, they seemed to be mending the cracks in their relationship. But no one knew that Wen Man was actually ill. The more they rushed to repair their feelings, the worse her condition became. Finally, one day, she herself realized...

Huo Shaoting held her as she cried, feeling sad but gentle: "Don't be afraid, I'm with you. Tomorrow, we'll go see a doctor, okay"e table reading the newspaper. Hearing her footsteps, he turned his head and smiled: "Awake""Huo Xi looked at him: "You... didn't sleep all night""No! I didn't wake you because I saw you were asleep....
