Chapter 105 She is not a tool
Mrs. Chen's heartache is also Mr. Chen's pain.
Shang Wanwan watched him talk about the past calmly, but she could empathize with his sadness.
"I think your daughter must be alive and well, maybe she is married and has a family."
It was the only comforting thing she could think of.
Twenty years have passed and the child is now in his twenties.
Since he was adopted, he has already grown up.
"I hope so. It's all in the past now. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Mrs. Huo."
Mr. Chen looked at her with a somewhat passionate gaze, which Shang Wanwan noticed and felt resistance in her heart.
But Mr. Chen didn't move, as if he could see her discomfort, and stood up.
"I have a meeting later and can't chat with you anymore. Mrs. Huo, my wife and son like you very much. If possible, I hope you can help me spend more time with them."
Shang Wanwan saw that there was sincerity in Mr. Chen's words, which was not something that could be faked.
Her face felt a little hot. How could she have thought that Mr. Chen had any improper thoughts about her?
She just judged others by her own mean character.
"I'll try my best."
It is just a temporary measure for her to teach Xinxin here.
Huo Dongming was able to follow her to the Qing Palace, but who knows what else he will do.
The recognition shown to her by Mr. and Mrs. Chen at the banquet gave her a second high exposure, and people who knew her no longer had the courage to hire her as a part-time worker.
"Thank you."
Xinxin still had half an hour of class to go, and when he returned to the classroom, Mr. Chen had already left.
Shang Wanwan still had Mr. Chen's words in her mind, and for a moment she had no intention of continuing to teach Xinxin new things, so she let him practice on his own.
Chen Rongsheng’s villa is very big, and the early spring breeze feels very comfortable.
Shang Wanwan wanted to walk around, and at the turning of the second staircase, she heard someone talking.
It is impolite to eavesdrop on others. I wanted to leave and go somewhere else, but the words she heard were about me.
"Mr. Huo, do you really love your wife?"
Shang Wanwan leaned her head out slightly and saw Huo Dongming talking to another man.
She had never seen the man, but the topic was related to her.
When she heard the man ask the same question that she had also asked Huo Dongming many times, she couldn't help but hold her breath and her heart beat faster.
"Doctor Shang, our affairs as husband and wife have nothing to do with you."
Huo Dongming looked at Shang Xuanyi coldly. It turned out that he was Chen Rongsheng's cousin.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Huo, I think you need a psychiatrist, not your wife.
You are the only person in my case who hypnotizes his wife."
Shang Wanwan felt like she was hit by a club. Hypnosis? Huo Dongming.
Why did he hypnotize himself?
Huo Dongming curled his lips: "You are too nosy. The interest between us as husband and wife has nothing to do with outsiders."
Huo Dongming didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. Shang Wanwan covered her lips and leaned her back against the wall in disbelief, almost unable to stand.
"Mr. Huo, it is wrong to use hypnosis on anyone. If you use my medical skills to do anything illegal, I can call the police.
Chen Rongsheng is my cousin, and I don’t want his partner to be someone with a mental illness or even someone involved in a crime.”
Shang Xuanyi really risked his life for his cousin.
Huo Dongming snorted coldly: "Crime? You think too much. If it is a crime, you are an accomplice because you accepted the money I paid. If you want to report it, arrest yourself first."
He walked away from the scene in a big step. When Shang Wanwan saw him walking towards her, she turned around and ran towards the direction where Chen Xin had her class.
Her heart broke into pieces.
He actually used hypnosis on her? Huo Dongming used every possible means on her, but was there ever a time when he was sincere to her?
After Chen Xin's class ended, Shang Wanwan returned to the courtyard, where Huo Dongming and Mrs. Chen were sitting on the sofa chatting.
Seeing Shang Wanwan come out, Huo Dongming stood up and Mrs. Chen also stood up.
"Is class over?"
There was even tenderness in his eyes when he looked at her. Shang Wanwan looked at him calmly, and his voice was gentle, completely different from the coldness in which he had spoken just now.
"Um."
Shang Wanwan nodded lightly and looked at Mrs. Chen.
"Mrs. Chen, I'm going home. Xinxin has been doing well these past two days. I have corrected some of the mistakes he made in the past. He is very smart and can understand things quickly. He is a rare talent."
Mrs. Chen smiled and stared at Shang Wanwan's face frequently while speaking.
"Really? That's great. It's all thanks to you, Wanwan."
Mrs. Chen's voice was full of maternal radiance and her smile was bright and beautiful. She didn't look like a lady suffering from severe depression at all.
Mrs. Chen saw the couple out the door, and Mr. Huo Dongming took Shang Wanwan into the car.
The assistant sat in the driver's seat, and everything around him fell into darkness after the car started.
Huo Dongming put his hand on Shang Wanwan's waist. She stiffened for a moment, and then became motionless.
"Shang Wanwan——"
He was somewhat surprised that she did not resist.
These days Shang Wanwan was like a stressed rabbit and refused to be touched.
Even though he succeeded time and time again, Huo Dongming was still unhappy in his heart.
She is his wife, why can't he even touch her?
"What's wrong?"
She replied gently and obediently. Huo Dongming couldn't see Shang Wanwan's face in the darkness, but he could feel her attitude.
Huo Dongming's eyes darkened slightly. "Don't be awkward for more than two months. How come you suddenly changed?"
"Nothing, come over here—"
He stretched out his hand, and Shang Wanwan hesitated for a moment before obediently going over.
When I closed my eyes, the conversation between Huo Dongming and that man still echoed in my mind.
Hypnosis?
He didn't love her, never had.
In this case, why should she waste time with herself every day? How can a man who doesn't love her and has no sincerity towards her be worthy of her trust, care and sadness with all her efforts?
She is Mrs. Huo, and this identity is recognized by the Huo family and the outside world.
She needs this identity to find out her own life experience, how Shang Yecheng died, and who is the mastermind behind the Shang family.
If the business had not fallen into crisis that year, she and Huo Dongming would not have had this ill-fated relationship.
Also, Huo Dongming was drugged. Who was the person who drugged him and what was his purpose? Why did she bump into him by chance?
All the truth is hidden behind the fog. Without Huo Dongming, she will be impoverished and her life will become a problem.
Huo Dongming felt something was wrong. Shang Wanwan was too quiet, which was unlike her.
"No feeling?"
He frowned and exerted force with his hands. Shang Wanwan cried out in pain and glared at him.
Only then did Huo Dongming feel relieved.
She didn't want to love him anymore. This thought became stronger and stronger.
Apart from treating her as a bed partner, when did he ever really care about her feelings?
Even after receiving a call from Yi Xiaxue, he could leave without looking back. His child was gone, and he didn't even say an apology or show any concern.
A heartless person will not be hurt in love.
Shang Wanwan's heart had long been shattered into pieces on the road of loving him.
