responses were polite refusals.When taking a break in the middle, Wen Man received a business card.[Engie Law Firm, Howard Shaw Lawyer]Wen Man was taken aback. She turned her body and saw Huo Shaoting...Wen Man followed Huo Shaoting back to the apartment.
She thought for a moment and then asked him, "Did you... attack the Gu family"
Ho Shaoting paused for a moment, then casually countered, "Want to plead for Gu Changqing"
"No."
Wen Man fiddled with the two bottles of red wine awkwardly.
Ho Shaoting stared at her for a while, then sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch financial news. After a while, he saw Wen Man still standing there, and said in a light voice, "Not cooking"
Wen Man nodded.
As she changed into her home clothes, she couldn't help but think: Did Huo Shaoting even need her Her current role was to cook, clean, and run errands for him, just like the housemaid on a rotating schedule.
You wouldn't think so, Huo Shaoting is quite restrained.
Wen Man was cooking, and Huo Shaoting wasn't idle either. He took several calls. Just as he put down his phone and went to take a shower, the phone Wen Man had placed on the coffee table lit up.
He glanced towards the kitchen and casually picked up Wen Man's phone.
He knew Wen Man's phone password and unlocked it easily. He saw two WeChat messages sent by Gu Changqing.

After finishing, he directly deleted the message and blocked Gu Changqing.
Over there, Gu Changqing:…
Wen Man made four dishes and one soup, which both looked good and tasted great. Especially the spicy crab, which was her specialty dish, was highly praised by everyone who tried it.
After she had finished, she called Huo Shaoting for dinner. Huo Shaoting was still watching financial news. Wen Man called out to him twice before he lazily got up, but his face wasn't very pleasant.
Wen Man guessed he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to provoke him!
Ho Shao-ting ate a few mouthfuls, and suddenly said: "Four dishes, none of them are to my liking."
Wen Man was taken aback.
She blurted out, "Aunt Li told me about your general taste preferences. It shouldn't be a problem!"
Ho Shao-ting's eyes burned brightly: "Why don't you just ask me what I like to eat"
Wen Man was speechless.
She had previously thought that living together with him meant mostly lying down and letting him have his way, but she didn't realize he would be so picky about everything in life! She couldn't help but think back to several times when she was completely smitten, yet he managed to stop halfway… Was there something physically wrong with him that he was too embarrassed to say Could he only torment her in other ways
Wen Man felt a little sympathy.
The esteemed and dignified Mr. Huo, it turns out, is not without his imperfections!
Wen Man endured him, "Next time I'll be more careful."
Ho Shao-ting let out a light snort and continued to pick at his food, barely eating anything. "You've cooked for Gu Changqing before, haven't you Are these dishes his favorites"
Wen Man finally understood, he was having a fit because of Gu Changqing and her!
These dishes, he clearly loves them!
Wen Man's eyes were also a bit red.
But she knew her own position and didn't dare to offend him, so she could only soften her tone and say: "I can't change my past with him, but for me those things are long gone, I won't think about him anymore! We're going to be spending time together, if you keep bringing this up every day..."
She couldn't hold it in anymore and felt wronged.
Ho Shao-ting said nothing more, sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
Wen Man started clearing the table, packing up the remaining dishes in bags, and changed into slippers before heading downstairs.
"Where are you going" Huo Shaoting thought she was going to throw the food in the trash.
Wen Man's voice was a bit nasal: "Go downstairs to feed the dog! There are always stray dogs who like the food I make."
Ho Shao-ting was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly.
She dared to scold him indirectly!
But at this moment, Lawyer Huo wasn't angry at all. Instead, he found Wen Man in this state rather endearing.r a moment.He figured out who it was, and in a gentle tone asked: "Shuo Shuo, is that you"That's indeed Xiaoshuai over there.He was still angry, his face tightly set, before he finally spoke: "You cam...
