Xia Chen never thought that one day she would be in such a state and looking at this man's photo in this way. She had always known that he was a good-looking man, but for the first time, she felt that the affectionate man in the photo
Huo Tianhan hugging that woman would be so charming that she would have the urge to cry.
Yes, she wanted to cry.
Because, even in the past three years, when he acted low-key, he occasionally appeared in a magazine. Although he was so high-spirited and attracted every nerve of her, it was the first time that she felt that at this time, only
The profile of him is the most fascinating. Is it because of that woman?
The woman who also hugged him affectionately was very beautiful. Just looking at her profile, I felt that she was a gentle and tender woman. She was not crazy and heartless like her. Therefore, what he liked was always like that.
Such a woman, Huo Tianhan
"Miss Xia? Miss Xia?"
Jason was mid-sentence when he saw the woman in front of him staring at the newspaper at hand, as if she wasn't listening at all. He couldn't help but follow her gaze curiously, and was a little shocked at the sight.
"Mr. Huo?"
After hearing the word "Mr. Huo", Xia Chen was shocked to realize that he was distracted. He hurriedly covered up the panic in his eyes and said casually, "Your boss is really photogenic, haha."
"
Jason didn't pay much attention to what Xia Chen said at first, he just said what was on his mind without warning, "It's strange, Mr. Huo has never liked this kind of scandal magazine, how could he do it?" [
But in the middle of the sentence, after seeing Xia Chen's face that was still smiling in embarrassment instantly darkened, he stopped abruptly, "No, that's not what I meant, I meant"
"Assistant Sente." Xia Chen stopped him before he could continue, and stood up suddenly, "You don't need to tell me about him, he is just my boss."
After saying that, he got up and walked past Jason towards the depths of the front garden.
Jason was left looking at the wrinkled newspaper on the table that she had "crusted" and sighed. The couple on the newspaper also became blurry in an instant. Looking at Xia Chen's obviously lonely back, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
My boss became worried, Mr. Huo, I'm afraid you will have to go a long way to make this report.
Xia Chen stood in front of the sea of roses, but her mind drifted to a place thousands of miles away. She didn't want to admit that she was thinking about him. Even though he had humiliated her in that way, she still couldn't deny that she was always ruthless.
She couldn't bear to forget him. Yes, who said that a three-year secret love could be let go as soon as it was let go? Perhaps she had never been so serious in her life. She aimed at him and continued to improve herself, thinking that only in this way could she be worthy of him.
In the end, he had had a sweet dream for three years.
Now, it’s time to wake up from the dream
But why, my heart is still so empty, almost suffocating
"Miss Xia."
After hearing the voice behind him, Xia Chen quickly came to his senses, wiped away the tears that fell from his eyes in a panic, and said in a choked voice, "Assistant Sente, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Let's go to the vicinity of the villa now.
Let’s take a look at the situation.”
Xia Chen was about to leave as he spoke, but was frozen in place by Jason's words.
"Ms. Xia, does she know who the woman in the newspaper is?"
Seeing that the woman in front of him paused and remained motionless, Jason slowly said again, "Her name is Memorial, and she is the woman Mr. Huo lived with in Hong Kong for five years."
She should have guessed that the person who could be hugged so lovingly by Huo Tianhan and treated with such a cherished expression, besides this one, who else could be called Memorial?
But why, when she heard someone confirm all this with her own ears, she still couldn't accept it.
commemorate[
Such a nice name, just like her person, is warm and genial, and easily drifts into your heart.
Holding back the bitterness that surged in her heart, Xia Chen said stubbornly, "Really? It turns out it's her, but does this have anything to do with me? I'm still more interested in Wu Tong's lawsuit."
"Miss Xia, I just want to tell you that although Mr. Huo once loved her very much, that is all in the past. The purpose of going there this time is not what you imagined. He -"
"Assistant Sente, please stop talking. I'm not very interested in your boss's affairs. I just wanted to listen to you just to relax my nervousness. Now let's go get down to business."
Xia Chen interrupted Jason's words and immediately stepped forward.
Jason was left speechless on the spot, silently chanting Huo Tianhan's name in his heart: Boss, I have tried my best for you, please forgive me.
Huo Xiansen, who was far away from Liang's house in City Y, suddenly sneezed loudly. Next to him, Liang Tangtang was playing enthusiastically. Seeing him like this, he put down the Transformers model in his hand and asked worriedly, "Uncle Huo."
, you have a cold~?"
Huo Tianhan looked at the innocent child in front of him, showed a fond smile, touched his hair and said, "No."
Liang Tangtang smiled widely, then lowered his head to study his new toy with the little girl Chen Weiduo [The author has something to say: Liang Tangtang inherited Mr. Liang's skills in picking up girls and learned to pick up girls since he was a child...]
In the kitchen downstairs, Jiu Jiu and Mr. Liang were studying the new recipe for the evening together. Since the couple remarried, Mr. Liang has been a good and competent husband, often skipping unnecessary social gatherings and getting home from get off work on time. Accompanying his wife and cooking by himself, the aunt in the villa felt that she had no use for her. Did her skills deteriorate? That's why Mr. Liang always asked her to work as a deputy on the side, but the salary was not enough. She still felt a little embarrassed because she still got such a generous amount.
Huo Tianhan stepped out of the children's room, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood casually in front of the stair railing on the second floor. He immediately saw the warm yellow light coming from the kitchen, and the occasional smiles from the couple inside.
Voice.
Once upon a time, he was so deeply in love with the woman, but now, seeing her smiling so happily, he was satisfied.
His deep eyes gradually moved towards the bright night outside, and his calm heart suddenly became a little impetuous, and the bright face that always smiled naturally appeared in his mind.
Have we met somewhere?
I also think that if Lawyer Huo has time in the evening, why don't I treat you to dinner, and I will explain to you in person the problems we have met.
This is the pen you gave me when you came to our Changfeng speech three years ago. At that time, you told me that as long as you work hard and persist and never give up, you will achieve what you dream of. Huo Tianhan, I like you.
My dream is you.
I don't know why, but at this moment, I suddenly thought of her, and the words she said to me that came from her mouth without any concealment and were not pretentious at all.
Her smile, her calmness, and her self-confidence that always makes people immersed in vitality and vitality, no matter where they go, they so easily affect the people around them, and it's hard not to be happy even if they don't want to.
Xia Chen
Since when, this name has begun to gradually occupy his heart, and the closed heart seems to have an inexplicable expectation. Since she saw the memory of marrying him three years ago, only the one who can bring her laughter
After meeting a happy man, he found that he would never be tempted by anyone again...
It seems that I am not as firm as before and can say to myself, Huo Tianhan, is your heart really dead? But why not, why do you always think of this girl named Xia Chen inadvertently?
He thought that that night, he hurt her so much, a girl who always smiled so openly, but he was so embarrassed that he forced her to cry. She liked him so much, so she was too disappointed in him.
That's why I cried...
Outside, the sky was full of stars, and in those black eyes that were as calm as ever, there was an extra layer of fluctuation at this moment. There were so many shining stars on them, but he didn't know which one belonged to him. Could it be hers?
However, she is so young and beautiful, and there is a ten-year gap between them. It is not about who else he has in his heart, but...
A woman like Xia Chen was too pure and beautiful, and he didn't have the courage to taint her. His emotional world was once too deep, and he felt that he couldn't give her the excitement she wanted. Yes...
It's just vigorous.
His enthusiasm has been honed over the past ten years. Now, even if he gives Xia Chen hope, he feels that it is unfair to her.
She deserves someone better, not him.
But why, when he thinks that she will belong to someone else in the future, and that her smile and her beauty are blooming for another man, does his heart feel so tortured?
Xia Chen, Xia Chen...
He kept chewing on this woman with a name like a sunflower, and a trace of reluctance gradually spread in his heart, getting stronger and stronger.
In the end, what should he do with her...
＊
Shanghai Hejia.
In the back garden of He's house, near the landing of the main house of the villa, two sneaky figures squatted, walking slowly along the wall with their bodies lowered.
"This place is so big, which one is their bedroom?"
Xia Chen looked at this huge mansion with a troubled face, and felt embarrassed for the first time. Ever since she was a child, this was the most outrageous thing she had ever done. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she had sacrificed her life for this great lawyer profession.
It’s a big deal!
The man following her was also a little embarrassed, "Miss Xia, to be honest, I really can't help with this."
Xia Chen glanced behind him, who was equally sneaky. She was used to seeing this man in suits and leather shoes, but now he was wearing an awkward gardener's suit, which was completely incompatible with his figure, appearance, and age. She suddenly
I think Special Assistant Mori is so cute at this time!
"Pfft~"
"Miss Xia, what are you laughing at?" Jason, who was immersed in thinking about how to find Wu Tong's bedroom in the shortest time, couldn't help but frown and look at her after hearing this laughter.
Xia Chen realized that she had lost her composure, and looked at Jason's serious expression with a frown. She felt guilty in her heart. Why was she still in the mood to be "promiscuous" at this time? She was so sinful, so sinful...
Waving his hands, Xia Chen finally suppressed his laughter and said, "Ah~~It's nothing, nothing, haha..."
After laughing twice, Xia Chen concentrated on looking for the room again.
Jason, who was following behind, scratched the back of his head inexplicably, wondering why the roots of his ears were so hot? Strange...
＊
"Jia Ming, please, let me see Mengmeng today. I really miss him."
In the bedroom on the second floor, Wu Tong clutched the sleeve of her husband He Jiaming with a painful expression on his face, his expression full of pleading.
And from the beginning to the end, when Wu Tong came into the He family and kept begging him to see her son, this extremely painful woman, she always maintained an expression, that is, expressionless.
He is very tall, with a tall and slender figure. His white tailor-made shirt is cleanly ironed on his strong body. Two buttons on his chest are unbuttoned, which adds to his gentle and handsome face.
With an unruly temperament, he has been silent since this woman came in.
"Jia Ming..."
Finally, the man slowly made some movement, but he pushed away the woman's entanglement affectionately. He used too much force, causing Wu Tong to fall embarrassingly on the thick dark gray Australian shag carpet.
It didn't hurt, but Wu Tong, who lowered his head, secretly clenched his teeth, and his originally soft and painful facial features became a bit ferocious...
The man finally looked squarely at the woman on the ground, but the corners of his thin lips were curved with contempt, and his rich voice revealed a non-negotiable tone, "Wu Tong, how many times do I have to say it before you understand what happened today?"
The result was your own fault. I gave you a chance. Originally, you didn't have to be as miserable as you are now. At least you could get a considerable amount of alimony. I, He Jiaming, would never treat women badly, but how did you do it? It's not like raising a pretty boy.
Forget it, but can't you be more restrained? Huh? I still say the same thing, you can never take Mengmeng away in this life. He is my son, He Jiaming, and his surname is not Wu. Do you understand me clearly? "
After the man finished speaking, he turned to leave. Suddenly something occurred to him and he turned around and looked coldly at the moved woman on the ground, "Also, don't let me see you coming in through this door again. This is the last time."
After hearing these words, Wu Tong, who was silent, suddenly raised his head and met the man's deep eyes, the eyes that he had been deeply fascinated by at first sight.
Yes, it was these eyes that were calm and unimpaired. It was these eyes that deceived her heart in the first place. Once upon a time, she also loved this man so deeply. It cannot be denied that He Jiaming is a very handsome man, with
Everything that ordinary men don’t have.
He is noble, elegant, and has an amazing family background. The huge family background behind him has already given him a layer of gold powder. Coupled with his own knowledge and talents, he has made the He family famous in just seven years.
It stood out from an ordinary family business and became one of the world's top 500 companies. Four years ago, it successfully entered the NASDAQ Securities Trading Center in the United States and became a leader among all the stock markets that were not optimistic about that year.
The three words He Jiaming, in that second, successfully captured the attention of all his colleagues.
Now, almost half of Shanghai belongs to him.
Six years ago, when she saw this man for the first time, she thought it was the luck sent to her by God. Such an excellent man who made all women crazy happened to fall on her Wu Tong. In that wedding of the century, she
She still remembers it deeply. Being able to be his woman, she felt that this life was enough. She had suffered too much, and she cherished and was careful about any happiness she got. But later she realized that her luck was actually a piece of cake.
Conspiracies abound...
The happiness she thought was soon torn to pieces by the hands of this man who was handsome on the outside but crueler than the devil on the inside.
Only then did she realize that the heart disguised under this man's mask was so deep that it could no longer be expressed in just a few words...
Thinking of all the things he had suppressed in the past six years, Wu Tong's heart that once loved him became distorted and even disgusted.
She stood up quickly, rushed to the man, grabbed him by the collar, and said in a trembling voice, "He Jiaming, don't 'force' me. I said I only want children and nothing else. If you continue to do this,
If you force me, I will——"
"What do you think?" The man looked at her coldly, smiled sarcastically, slowly pulled away Wu Tong's hand that was holding his collar with one hand, then covered her nose and whispered, "Wu Tong, you
You know that I have never been threatened by anyone. We have lived together for more than six years, good or bad. Don’t you know this? I say it for the last time, get out of here immediately. If you have any questions, we will see you in court in a week, but at that time
You can’t even think about getting a single benefit, and you can’t even think about Mengmeng’s custody rights. He’s legal team will make you lose this lawsuit miserably, miserably..."
Bang!
The man no longer had any patience, he opened the woman's body violently, turned around and walked out of the room.
"He Jiaming! Stop! Don't leave, I haven't finished speaking yet, I haven't finished speaking yet... You beast, how could you do this to me, how could you..."
Wu Tong lay on the ground, hanging hard to the ground, his eyes filled with tears of grievance. How could she fall in love with such a devil in the first place? Why, how could God treat her so cruelly...
It doesn't matter if she loses anything, but she can't live without Mengmeng. Her child is everything to her...
"Miss Wu! Why are you lying here? Are you okay?"
Just when Wu Tong was heartbroken, a clear female voice suddenly penetrated her eardrums. She looked in disbelief at the person who came in at some unknown time and helped her up... Xia Chen?
"Miss Wu, you and your husband had an argument just now? Why are you crying? What did he say?"
Xia Chen carefully helped Wu Tong up and looked worriedly at the tearful woman in front of her. She carefully closed the door, but her eyes began to search around the room. Jason who was following her looked at the door warily, on guard.
Someone comes in.
"Lawyer Xia?" Wu Tong paused, his tears gradually holding back, probably because he was a little confused when he saw her here, "You...how did you get in?"
Xia Chen smiled brilliantly, pointed out her appearance with her eyes, and then said, "Don't worry about it for now. I am here to collect clues about He Jiaming. Miss Wu, I know you really want to get back the custody of your child."
, but if you continue to be so uncooperative with me, you will definitely lose this lawsuit."
Wu Tong's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Tears were still hanging on her cheeks, and she couldn't digest Xia Chen's words. She understood Xia Chen's meaning very well. She had to decide on Meng Meng's custody, even if it cost her her destiny, but He Jiaming...
But she couldn't afford to offend either.
After thinking about it, Wu Tong said, "Lawyer Xia, I came to you because I believed in Lawyer Huo. I will pay you no matter how much money you ask, but there is only one condition, you can only win, not lose. I don't care what method you use."
, in the end, as long as the child is awarded to me, but I really don’t know what else I can do to cooperate with you, I have already said what needs to be said, and you can’t find any clues here. Lawyer Xia, take advantage of them.
If you find out, please leave here quickly——"
As Wu Tong was about to open an account, Xia Chen blocked her and said seriously, "Miss Wu, you said you believed in Lawyer Huo and ht, but Lawyer Huo and ht are not omnipotent. If you can't tell some of the facts
Tell us, we will be very passive, you don't care about money, and what we want is not purely your money. For ht, every client's expectation of us is the most important. Since we accept your money, we
As far as the lawsuit must be fought well, for me, Xia Chen, a lawyer's conscience is more important, and I don't want to see my client leave the court with a regretful heart. Mengmeng is very important to you, isn't it?"
Wu Tong's face was a little stiff, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Faced with Xia Chen's words, she actually felt aggrieved. Over the years, since she married He Jiaming, she has been surrounded by people
None of them were true friends, and her expression and those words made Wu Tong feel for the first time that she was still a dignified person, and that someone would care about her feelings...
Seeing that Wu Tong was a little shaken, Xia Chen put a hand on her shoulder and continued, "Miss Wu, I really want to help you. Mengmeng is still so young, and he needs you as his mother."
"Lawyer Xia, I..."
"Lawyer Xia, can you let me think about it?"
"Okay, I will wait for you, but you have to hurry up, time is running out."
Wu Tong nodded cautiously and agreed.
Xia Chen smiled lightly with satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes glanced at a photo frame on the desk over there. In the photo frame stood two equally tall and handsome men. One of them was unknown to her, and the other one was unknown to her.
It's He Jiaming.
Calmly, she walked over there and secretly put away the photo frame while Wu Tong wasn't paying attention.
"Assistant Sente, let's go."
Hearing Xia Chen's voice, Jason, who was guarding the door of the room, immediately turned back, and the two of them left the house together.
Just when they thought they had left He's house without anyone noticing, they were caught by a pair of deep eyes hidden in the dark...
＊
On the highway, Xia Chen took out the photo hidden in her bag and looked at it carefully. However, she felt something strange.
Jason, who was driving, saw her focused expression and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xia, why did you bring this photo back?"
Xia Chen said without raising his head, "I don't know why, I just feel like this photo hides some ulterior secret. Keep it and check it out."
Jason chuckled lightly, "You and Mr. Huo are really alike sometimes, and we pay close attention to every detail."
Xia Chen's heart was startled, and his fingertips trembled slightly. At this moment, a clear cell phone ringtone came from the carriage.
"Mr. Huo...yes, Miss Xia and I are together...just came out of He's house. Just as you thought, this Wu Tong is indeed a little suspicious, um...Okay, Miss Xia, Mr. Huo wants to talk to you."
"Ah——? I..."
When Xia Chen, who was in a state of nervousness, heard that Huo Tianhan wanted to talk to her, she turned around in surprise, pointed at her nose, and opened her mouth wide.
Jason smiled secretly in his heart, "Yeah, is there a problem? He's still your boss now, so it's okay to just answer the phone, right?"
Xia Chen felt that her reaction was indeed a bit too big. She didn't want Jason to see her emotions, so she answered the phone angrily. The excuse she gave herself was that it was normal for a subordinate to answer a call from his boss. That hateful and shameful man,
What did he say? She ignored the head office, right?
"Hello……"
"Xia Chen, it's me."
At that moment, the woman who told herself to stay calm finally felt her heart beat uncontrollably after hearing the man say, "Xia Chen, it's me."
It cannot be denied that she is still so immune to him. Although she has cursed him several times in her heart, she always makes excuses for him again and again, saying that he is not that kind of person.
Xia Chen, are you really hopeless?
All the men in the world are dead, but you only love him with all your heart.
"Xia Chen, I know you are listening, I'm sorry... I can't say it to you in person, I'm sorry."
Hearing the man's words, Xia Chen was stunned again. He just... actually said to himself, I'm sorry?
What did he mean? Is he apologizing to her? But what kind of modesty did he mean?
Glancing at Jason who was driving beside her, she turned sideways in embarrassment. She intuitively didn't want him to see her expression, so she turned her back to the man and looked at the scenery passing quickly outside the car, and asked the man on the other end of the phone, "Why?
"
Huo Tianhan stood in front of the landing on the top floor of the hotel, dressed casually and lazily, holding his mobile phone in one hand and supporting the railing in front of him with the other. In his deep eyes, there was a deep smile that could not be concealed, and a deep and intoxicating voice.
Gradually overflowing from his deep throat, he said, "That night, I went too far, but... I didn't really mean it. I just wasn't ready to accept your mood. Xia Chen, I'm sorry.
, I have wronged you, can you forgive me?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Chen was even more shocked and speechless. In other words, she could no longer speak. She had to cover her mouth tightly to prevent her gaffe from being too obvious.
, that would make her, who has always been confident in front of everyone, a little embarrassed.
Is this man conveying another meaning to her?
What does that mean...
She found that she didn't dare to think about it, and her whole heart was trembling.
"Xia Chen? Are you still listening?" Huo Tianhan frowned. He couldn't help but feel anxious because he couldn't hear her answer. For the first time in his life, he cared so much about a woman's feelings.
Xia Chen's eyes were a little moist, and he couldn't change the emotion that came too quickly. He could only nod his head. Facing the worried inquiry from the man on the other end of the phone, he couldn't say a word.
Finally, Jason kindly reminded her, "Miss Xia, are you okay?"
Xia Chen suddenly came back to his senses and slowly calmed down his emotions. He ignored the fact that Jason was next to him and said in a low voice, "Are you serious?"
Huo Tianhan was also stunned, but after he was stunned, a gentle smile slowly appeared on his handsome face, "It's always been the case, I'm past the age of joking, but Xia Chen, there are some words that I don't want to just talk on the phone.
Say, wait until I come back, okay? When I come back, I will tell you face to face, now, you can concentrate on the case at hand, and don’t be afraid if you encounter difficulties, Jason will always assist you, and...me."
And me...
Xia Chen found that after this man said so much, the sentence she liked to hear the most was the last sentence, 'and me'.
After all, I still couldn't control the tears, and slowly fell from my eyes and flowed into my mouth, feeling astringent.
Although he tried his best to hold back, he still found that his voice was a little trembling, "Huo Tianhan, if you bully me again this time..."
"It won't happen again, I promise."
The man's gentle words easily calmed Xia Chen's restless heart. No nice words in the world could compare to his assurance.
In the end, she didn't know how she hung up the phone. She just stared at the phone in silence, as if it contained everything she wanted and was so precious.
Jason, who has been with Huo Tianhan all year round and has become shrewd, even though he didn't understand anything, he also knew that the boss was serious this time. After more than three years of silence, he finally had a heart that he didn't open to anyone.
Woman, walked in.
This person is no one else, she is not the most special, but she is the woman who easily captures Huo Tianhan's heart. But just for this, she is already the most different, and the difference in Huo Tianhan's heart.
