two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters, and the decoration is also shabby and outdated, nowhere near as luxurious as its former high-end residence.Aunt Ruan turned around and settled down.Wen Man f...At nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Hoxi finally agreed to come out.

She ate two bowls of rice.

Wen Man was especially willing to indulge her today, washing her hands and feet for her personally, blow-drying her hair and telling her bedtime stories before bed. Xiaohoxi knew she was staying overnight and fell asleep contentedly.

Wen Man dimmed the bedside lamp and went out quietly.

She wanted to talk to Huo Shaoting, and after walking around the study for a while, she found him. He was sitting in the dim space, not smoking, just sitting quietly.

"Ho Shaoting!" Wen Man called his name.

He seemed startled, then rose and walked toward her, closing the door behind him with one hand. "Is she asleep"

Wen Man nodded. She was about to speak to him when he embraced her.

Ho Shao-ting pressed her against the door.

He was a bit too strong, and Wen Man's back hurt from the impact, but she noticed something was wrong with his mood, so she endured it and said softly, "Let's talk about it!"

He absentmindedly hummed in response.

Then, he slowly lowered his head, burying his face in her neck... After a long while, Wen Man felt something wet, dampening her skin uncomfortably.

But she did not push him away!

At this moment, she realized that he wasn't invincible after all.

His trip to Britain that time cost him dearly, not just her but himself as well.

Perhaps it was empathy, perhaps it was the shared experience of raising a child together. At this moment, a touch of softness softened her heart. Her hand gently rested on his neck, accompanied by a caress tinged with tenderness.

Ho Shao-ting's body stiffened slightly.

He raised his eyes, looking at her in the darkness. His black eyes were thick and dark as ink.

In the dim light, no one could see who was who, but such an atmosphere was the best. He finally couldn't help himself and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

That tender touch, so naive.

Upon their touch, his breath quickened.

Wen Man pressed herself tightly against the door, her eyes wide with helplessness as she stared at him. She had actually come to talk about Xiao Hoxi...

Ho Shao-ting kissed her lips again.

Those lips, smelling of tobacco, held hers, deepening the kiss little by little...

He has always been ambitious!

But at this moment he couldn't bear to do so. He kissed her gently, carefully, testing the waters, making sure she was comfortable...

His heart was about to burst out of his chest.

That long-lost, innocent urge to kiss, without any sexual desire, came back upon him...

He kissed her for a long time.

Perhaps half an hour, or maybe 2 or 3 hours.

Just press her against the door, use every means to please her...

End time.

He spoke in a hushed voice: "It's getting late. Go take a shower and go to sleep. I'll get your clothes!"

Wen Man remained pressed against the door.

Such an unforced tenderness, she couldn't resist it after all. To this day her legs still feel a little weak. If he hadn't been supporting her with one hand on her waist, she would have fallen to the ground long ago...

Ho Shao-ting lightly caressed her slender waist and whispered, "If you want, go to the master bedroom!"

Wen Man naturally refused.

She whispered, "I'll sleep with Hosei. Get me my clothes!"

Ho Shaoting opened the study light with one hand and gently caressed her arm with the other: "Wash at mine! Your clothes are in your walk-in closet, I have some things to deal with in the study!"

In the end, Wen Man still took her clothes and showered in the guest room.

She slept with Huo Xi for a night.

……

The next day, the atmosphere between them was completely different.

Huo Shaoting treated her with a touch more tenderness, and also a hint of ambiguity.

Wen Man tried her best to ignore it.

She woke up early to make breakfast for Xiao Hoxi and helped her get out of bed. Xiao Hoxi was in a particularly good mood and snuggled up to her affectionately...

Ho Shao-ting spoke in a low voice, "Do your own things yourself!"

Wen Man was about to speak.

He gazed at her, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Many a mother spoils her child!"

At this moment, Wen Man saw the shadow of Huo Zhendong in him. She thought to herself, "Is it because I'm getting older that he's become so fatherly"

But she was not afraid of him, all her heart’s tenderness was for little Hawsey.

Little Huo Xi was a little afraid of her father, and had already started to dig into her food on her own. But this time, her mother suddenly cut an egg for her and even fed her mashed potatoes!

Xiao Huo immediately put down his small fork.

Not only that, but she also climbed onto Wen Man's legs and wanted to sit in her lap to eat!

Huo Shaoting glanced at her lightly.

He taught Huo Xi to have his own set of principles, where he should be tender, but also independent.

Xiao Huo's spirit tightened, she reluctantly climbed down slowly, sat herself down, and started digging her own meal. She ate half in the sky and half on earth, but Huo Shaoting didn't even frown.

Wen Man couldn't help but say, "She's still young!"

>

Wen Man remained silent.

Ho Shao-ting saw her expression and feared she was angry. After all, they had shared a very intimate kiss last night, taking their relationship to a new level. He didn't want to argue with her about the child's education at this time.

He said gently, “Children need companionship and shouldn't have everything done for them!”

He gave another example: "Look at what happened to the Pearl River Delta, you'll understand!"

Wen Man was taken aback.

She looked at Huo Shaoting, he probably also thought of that incompetent younger sister, his face was gloomy.

Seeing Wen Man's expression, he lowered his voice and said: "She's fine, she just hid!"

He once sought out Gu Changqing.

After a conversation, he confirmed that Mingzhu leaving home had nothing to do with Gu Changqing!

Wen Man really liked Huo Mingzhu. She whispered, "I'll ask someone to look into it later!"

Huo Shaoting smiled faintly.

……

Their relationship had improved significantly, so their communication with the therapist was much smoother.

The psychologist examined Xiao Hoxi.

Then, Little Hosi was taken to the next-door playroom with someone accompanying him.

After a long assessment, the doctor spoke in a low voice, "Her recent strange behavior is very likely related to Madam Huo's sudden return... Children are very sensitive, especially when their parents divorce. It can have a significant impact on their mental state!"

Wen Man's eyes were moist.

He held her shoulder, understanding that in such matters, no woman could truly be strong.

"The doctor looked at them and gave some sincere advice: 'If you two are both single, why not try getting back together Having your parents live together would be a big help to Hsi's mental health, it could even possibly lead to a complete recovery!'"

"We will consider it!"

The doctor said a few more things to Wen Man and finally handed her the medical records.

Wen Man sat there, flipping through the pages one by one until her emotions were almost on the verge of breaking down.

When he was two years old, he came almost every week.

Back then, she would even isolate herself the next day...

Wen Man closed the medical record."No!" Wen Man wrapped her arms around his neck.Ho Shao-ting stopped in his tracks and looked down at her, his voice husky: "What's wrong"Wen Man reached out a hand and gently stroked the collar of his...
