Chapter 213: Engagement: Ruthlessly Bullying Qiao Jingnian
Man had no reaction, and the other person left.When Huo Shaoting opened the door, Wen Man could hear it was raining outside.The rainfall is heavy, which is quite unusual for this season!……At night, sh...Wen Man's face was pale.
She recalled that it might have been one late night when he suddenly felt like it.
She was half asleep and unguarded then.
He seems to have forgotten the precautions as well!
……
Bai Wei came over supporting her stomach and saw Wen Man's stunned expression. She immediately guessed what was going on and asked in a hushed voice, "What are you going to do"
Wen Man fiercely washed her face.
She said, "My stomach isn't feeling well, I'm going to the hospital."
Wen Man went to the hospital this afternoon to register and have a blood test.
Half an hour later, the results were in, as she had hoped. She was six weeks pregnant.
Wen Man sat in the long corridor of the hospital, reaching out to gently caress her abdomen. There was truly a little crystallization of her and Huo Shaoting inside.
Despite being an accident, Wen Man wanted it.
And she would tell Huo Shaoting: the child is both of theirs, no matter how their relationship stands, she had no reason to let the child be without a father or a mother.
Wen Man dialed Huo Shaoting's phone.
The phone rang a few times before he picked up, his voice was gentle: "What's up"
Wen Man's throat tightened.
She whispered, "Ho Shaoting, I'm pregnant!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, probably because he was also surprised, but Huo Shaoting quickly regained his composure: "Wait for me there, I'll be right over."
Wen Man hummed in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the bill for a long time.
……
Ho Shao-ting came over in less than half an hour.
As he neared her, he slowed his pace, his gaze fixed on her with a depth that was new. His eyes held a tenderness unlike anything she'd seen before...
Wen Man also quietly watched him.
For a long time, he squatted before her and gently held her hand.
In winter, Wen Man's hands were a little cold. He warmed his hands before speaking, his voice hoarse when he spoke: "Wen Man, let's get married!"
He didn't wait for Wenman's answer, and carried her out of the hospital.
Ho Shao-ting nodded and lightly pressed the accelerator pedal.
Before and after Christmas, the city often gets a light snowfall, adding a touch of romance to the sky.
He drove very slowly, and a half-hour drive took him 50 minutes.
Wen Man wasn't feeling well, she went home and went to sleep.
Huo Shaoting didn't leave.
He had Zhang the secretary bring him the files, and he remained at his desk working, also having Huo's family estate send over some light meals... He patiently and gently waited for her to wake up.
Wen Man slept for a long time and didn't wake up until nine o'clock in the evening.
Ho Shao-ting heard the noise and came in from outside. In the small, warm apartment, he took off his coat, leaving only his shirt and trousers. He looked indescribably handsome.
Let's have dinner together quietly.
When she was almost done eating, she whispered, "Call him or her Hoxi. It works for both boys and girls."
Huo Xi...
Huo Shaoting reached out and touched her face: "It sounds good! Let's call her Huo Xi!"
Wen Man continued to eat.
After finishing their meal, she finally revealed her decision: "Let's get the marriage certificate first, and hold the wedding after the baby is born. That way, it will be autumn, Huo Shaoting, I love autumn."
Whatever she said, he agreed to it.
Perhaps it was the snowfall, or perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but this night was soft and gentle.
Wen Man held a cup of hot milk, watching the fine snow outside.
Huo Shaoting was lounging on the small sofa, handling official business. He was thinking that there were many things to be busy with later, and after finishing the case in his hands, he would take a break to accompany Wen Man in childbirth.
A woman's first pregnancy should always be taken with care.
At this moment, his phone rang. He saw that it was Qiao Jingnian calling.
At night, the sound of a phone ringing is especially jarring.
Ho Shaoting didn't dodge Wen Man and answered, "Uncle Qiao, what is it"
Because of what happened before, the relations between the Huo and Qiao families have become somewhat delicate. They are no longer as close as they used to be, but thanks to Qiao Jingnian's great kindness, Huo Shaoting still treats him with warmth and closeness.
Joe Jingnian found it a bit hard to bring up: "Shaoting, the second trial is in half a month. Uncle hopes you can go three days early to communicate with the lawyers there."
Ho Shao-ting smiled, "Phone calls are just as good, and we can even do video calls!"
Joe Jingnian was a little unhappy: "Shaoting, I'm only taking up three days of your time!"
Ho Shao-ting confided in him: "Wen Man is pregnant! Besides taking care of her, I also have to go to the Lu family in the city. Uncle Qiao, can you understand"
Joe Jingnian was taken aback. ...
Is Wen Man pregnant
He always thought that Wen Man and Shao Ting wouldn't end up together, but now they are married.
Joe Jingnian trembled as he said, "She admitted to the Lu family"
Ho Shao-ting hummed softly.
Joe Jingnian felt a coppery taste in his throat. He couldn't accept that he and Xiaoman's child belonged to the Lu family. After all... after all, he was Wenman's biological father, but she insisted on not acknowledging him.
Joe Jingnian hung up the phone in despair. ...
……
The next day, Huo Shaoting went back to the Huo family residence.
Ho Zhen Dong happened to be drinking tea in the hall. Seeing his son return, he sneered: "I wondered who it was, so it's Master Ho back! How... are you busy I haven't seen you for half a month!"
Huo Shaoting sat down, and Lao Tzu tossed him a cigarette.
"Sorry, I quit smoking!"
"You quit smoking The sun rises in the west!"
……
Ho Zhen Dong did not believe it.
Ho Shaoting slowly looked upstairs, "Where's Mom and Mingzhu I have something important to announce!"
At this time, Mrs. Huo and Huo Mingzhu went downstairs.
Mrs. Huo looked sad: she cared for nothing but holding her grandchild.
Ho Shaoting calmly spoke: "Wen Man is pregnant!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Zhendong blurted out, throwing the cigarette box in his hand over. Unfortunately, the impact was too weak. Meanwhile, Madam Huo, overjoyed, bowed to all the gods and goddesses!
Ho Chin-tung feigned displeasure.
He chuckled softly: "Look at you! You can't possibly resist the urge to propose"
Ho Shao-ting carefully recited the list of etiquette.
Ho Zhen Dong immediately flared up: "You have the nerve to bring this up You're talking about cooperation, aren't you This is like getting married! Make your mother handle this! You're only marrying once in your life, you can't possibly get married without showing sincerity by emptying your entire fortune!"
Ho Chin-tien is farsighted.
Besides admiring and liking Wen Man, there's also the fact that she is now a child of the Lu family. After marrying into the Lu family, it's like transforming from two legs to four legs. This opens up many more potential collaborations between the two sides.
This marriage, besides the feelings of the younger generation, involves the interests of both sides.
He spoke, and Mrs. Huo was delighted to prepare.
Ho Shaoting didn't mind either, since he married Wen Man, all his assets belonged to her.
He sat there drinking tea, and after a while couldn't help but bargain with his own mother. Huo Zhending watched this, sighing softly: "At last, it looks like a real family."
As for the wedding, Huo Zhendong also agrees to have it after the birth of the child.
Having a baby and getting married at the same time is too rushed and tiring. How much hardship will his precious grandson have to endure for a while and then rushed back!"After hearing these words, no woman remained untouched.What's more, this man is someone he has loved for many years, and the man has even prepared a home here.Mingzh...
