en Man leaned against the pavilion, a cocktail on the stone table.Western music played in the hall, beautiful and romantic.Wen Man thought the guests should be enjoying themselves dancing now. She did...It is late at night.

Lu Qian was in the city, only finished socializing and was slightly drunk leaning on the sofa.

The servant brought up some wine-warming tea.

He waved his hand, indicating he didn't need anything, and the servant, understanding, withdrew.

Lu Qian's voice was gentle: "What's wrong Did that scoundrel bully you"

Wen Man shook her head. "No! I have something to ask my uncle for help... Well, it's Mingzhu! I heard from Huo Shaoting that she ran out two years ago and hasn't gone home. I want to ask my uncle to keep an eye on her."

She had just finished speaking when Lu Qian gently sat up.

He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, his voice barely a whisper in the quiet night: "She... hasn't been home in two years"

Wen Man hummed in agreement.

Lu Qian was silent. There was a deep breathing sound from the other end of the phone. After a long time, Lu Qian whispered, "I happen to be going out of town tomorrow, I'll come and see Xiao Huo Xi!"

Wen Man: Such a coincidence

Lu Qian had already hung up the phone, otherwise... he would lose his composure!

Night was deep.

Some past events that he tried hard to forget surfaced in his mind. He closed his eyes, as if he could still hear the tender voice.

Uncle Lu, please don't be angry with my brother.

Uncle Lu... will Little Huo Xi be okay

Uncle Lu, you're drunk! Don't drink anymore... Mmm... Uncle Lu....

……

Lu Qian's face flushed red after drinking, just like his state that night.

That night, he pinned the sixteen-year-old girl beneath him, possessing her like a madman.

She cried in his arms, calling out to him, "Uncle Lu!"

but did not awaken the beast within him.

That night, he hurt her.

The night grew deeper and deeper.

Lu Qian lit a cigarette silently.

He knew that with his own status, it was best not to get involved with that person anymore. He couldn't give her a future, and besides, he was 16 years older than her!

But she had still shared a period with him, and was so heartbroken when she left.

He always needs to know she's okay.

Lu Qian felt that his heart was as hard as iron, but half a year of getting along with her, those "Uncle Lu"s softened his heart. ...

When she left, he knew he was reluctant to see her go!

But, what can be done

……

The next day, Lu Qian was coming.

Wen Man didn't go to Huo Shaoting's company. In the morning, she took Little Huo Xi to the hospital and returned to the villa in the afternoon.

Lu Qian arrived in the afternoon at two o'clock.

He didn't mention Huo Mingzhu, but Wen Man did talk about some details.

He played with Xiao Hoxi, as if listening nonchalantly... Around five o'clock, he said goodbye to Wen Man: "I have to rush back to the city, so I won't stay for dinner!"

Wen Man was taken aback: “Don’t you even have time for a meal”

Lu Qian hugged Xiao Hoxi and smiled faintly: "There are still official duties! Next time!"

Wen Man felt that he was in a bad mood.

But he didn't want to say, and she, as a junior, couldn't ask too much.

Lu Qian kissed Xiao Hoxi again and left in big strides.

He got into the car and sat quietly. The driver softly asked, "Mr. Lu, where to now"

Lu Qian gently spread out his palm.

There's a faint pink scar on it!

He whispered, "Go to number 19 on Tianguan Road!"

As the driver had spent many years with him, he naturally knew some things Mr. Lu had never said. However, there was a period of half a year a few years ago when Mr. Lu came to the city for one or two nights every week.

That apartment was Mr. Lu's golden house.

An hour later, the car stopped under the apartment building on Tianyuan Road. Lu Qian went up by himself.

The apartment is approximately 120 square meters and is very luxuriously decorated.

He hadn't been here for a long time, dust covering everything, showing that the mistress had also not been here for a while.

Lu Qian dusted a spot on the sofa.

He smoked silently.

Actually, he had thought about marrying her.

First, she was too young. Second, their relationship was more of a one-night stand! Besides, he was in a complicated situation, and her innocent personality wasn't suitable to be the mistress of the Lu family.

After a long while, Lu Qian dialed a phone call to his secretary, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Liu, please find out where Huo Mingzhu is!"

Then Liu, the secretary, was taken aback.

He never expected his boss to bring up that name.

Lu Qian said softly, "Go check it out!"

Liu's secretary came to her senses and immediately said, "Yes, I understand!"

Lu Qian hung up the phone and left through the door.

Downstairs, those feelings of melancholy seemed to have vanished. He was still the impeccable Mr. Lu...

***

Evening.

When Huo Shaoting returned home, he got out of the car and heard from the maid that Mr. Lu had been there.

He quietly stated that he knew.

After searching around, he found Wen Man in the kitchen.

Wen Man was cooking dinner, the ingredients clearly prepared for Lu Qian. Huo Shaoting couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Since their reunion, she rarely cooked, but today she had prepared so many dishes for Lu Qian.

She focuses on cooking, her profile is graceful.

Ho Shaoting never thought he'd be on a date with her in the kitchen.

He gave his coat to the maid and leaned close to Wen Man: "Uncle came by. What did he say"

Wen Man is making Guiyu hung noodles.

She glanced at him and said deliberately, "He's my uncle, not yours!"

Ho Shaoting looked at the smile in her eyes and couldn't help but be moved. He didn't bother with her anymore: "I'll help you out!"

Wen Man dared not command him: "Just keep him company!"

Ho Shaoting pressed his voice low. "I want to stay with you more."

The kitchen staff tactfully left.

He Shao-ting boldly embraced her slender waist, his lips brushing against the back of her neck as he murmured, "Mrs. Huo, the flesh here is so tender!"

"I am not!"

"How is that not the case We've slept together so many times, we're married and have a child!"

He's just being unreasonable!

Wen Man was harassed by him sexually several times. She sincerely suggested to him: "Go see a urologist! I'm really afraid you'll become mentally abnormal!"

Ho Shaoting knew when to stop.

He kissed her cheek: "I'm going to take a shower!"

But as soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, the maid whispered to him, “Mr. Joe is here! He wants to see Mrs.”

Ho Shao-ting frowned.

He gently rolled up his shirt sleeves and instructed the maid, "I'll go take a look! Don't tell your mistress."

The servant nodded eagerly.

Ho Shao-ting lit a cigarette and walked slowly towards the villa gate.bably sensed her discomfort, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "I won't touch you. We haven't had a meal together in ages. How about chicken noodle soup next time"Wen Man hummed in response...
