Chapter 159 It turns out that marriage after love has fallen out is not that difficult

Mother Qin did not touch the gold pocket watch.

To her, the past was like a dream.

Both Huo Dongming, her son, and her unforgettable relationship with the rich young master of the Huo family have been immersed in the long river of time and will never come back.

Huo Dongming looked at the lonely pocket watch on the table. The woman in it had a sweet and brilliant smile. She looked so gentle and warm, exactly like the mother he imagined.

Today he saw it, and the knot in his heart that had been there for many years seemed to have been let go, but he also seemed to be feeling a little bit uneasy.

After Qin's mother left, Huo Dongming sat alone for a long time. The coffee in front of him had already gone cold. The waiter would look at him from time to time, but he still didn't move at all.

He was sitting by the window in all black, the midday sun shining through and falling on his face, which should have been filled with warmth, but instead made people feel a chill.

"Mr. Huo, your coffee is cold. Would you like me to change it for you?"

The waiter looked at him. For some reason, Huo Dongming's cold and handsome face made people feel that there was a hint of sadness.

He observed for a long time, thought about it and decided to go forward to see what he needed.

"No, just get me a bottle of red wine."

He responded without any expression on his face, and the burning cigarette butt at his fingertips had turned into ash.

The waiter brought the red wine, but Huo Dongming didn't even order any other food. He just raised his glass and drank by himself.

By the end, there were no fewer than five empty bottles on his desk.

The manager had been asking people to keep a close eye on Huo Dongming, and when he saw him stand up, he quickly asked someone to help him up.

"Go away—"

Huo Dongming frowned slightly and shook off those people's hands.

He took out his cell phone and naturally called his assistant to ask him to pick him up.

The manager and waiters were all stunned until Huo Dongming went downstairs alone.

Mr. Huo's alcohol tolerance is pretty good. He can still walk steadily after drinking so much.

It was almost dusk when the assistant arrived. When he approached Huo Dongming, he immediately smelled a strong smell of alcohol on him.

"Mr. Huo, have you been drinking?"

The assistant was surprised. Mr. Huo never drank alcohol during social events. Who was so honored that he could drink so much?

Huo Dongming ignored him and got into the car as quickly as possible.

He sat quietly in the back seat, his deep black eyes filled with an unremovable gloom.

Villa 2nd Floor

Shang Wanwan heard the sound of a car in the yard downstairs. She leaned her head out slightly and saw that it was Huo Dongming who had returned.

She didn't go downstairs to greet him. She didn't want to pay attention.

The assistant opened the car door, and Huo Dongming was still sitting in the back seat without moving.

"Mr. Huo?"

Whenever the assistant felt something was wrong, Huo Dongming would get out of the car immediately.

Realizing that it was probably the effect of alcohol, the assistant had no choice but to call the family's servant for help.

When they all stood next to the car, Huo Dongming suddenly opened his half-closed eyes.

"Get out of the way—"

As he spoke, he got out of the car.

The alcohol had been in his stomach for such a long time that Huo Dongming seemed to be a little drunk.

He walked a little unsteadily, and his assistant quickly supported him.

"I'll go make some sobering tea. You help the gentleman upstairs. The mistress is here too."

This was the first time that Zhang's mother saw Mr. Huo drink so much, so she hurried to the kitchen to get busy.

Shang Wanwan was reading in her room. When she heard footsteps at the door, she knew it was Huo Dongming. Without raising her head, she continued to savor the plot of the book word by word.

"Mrs. Huo——"

The assistant stood at the door and informed Shang Wanwan first to avoid offending her by coming in.

Shang Wanwan did not raise her eyelids but moved her lips slightly.

"Come in."

The assistant then helped Huo Dongming into the room.

Shang Wanwan raised her eyes and saw Huo Dongming lying on the bed. She looked at the assistant with a little surprise.

"He was drunk?"

As far as she could remember, Huo Dongming never drank much, except for that time three years ago. Shang Wanwan had never smelled alcohol on him during their marriage. Today he was just in a good mood.

"My husband had a date at the café and drank a little too much. Sorry to bother you, ma'am."

The assistant answered cautiously.

Shang Wanwan curled her lips, with a hint of indifference on her face, and responded in an almost businesslike tone.

"No trouble, I'm still his wife."

She closed the book in her hand, stood up and put it on the side table.

Huo Dongming lay motionless on the bed. Shang Wanwan looked at him and for some reason her heart suddenly tightened.

The pain on his face was the most she had ever seen, and that pain...

It's like losing the most precious thing.

So, is he heartbroken?

Shang Wanwan secretly mocked herself and asked casually, "Who did you meet to make you drink so much?"

The assistant didn't know whether to answer truthfully. He was in charge of Huo Dongming's schedule and knew that the person who had just made an appointment with him was Qin Meng.

As a newcomer in the company, Qin Meng was praised too quickly, and almost all good resources were biased towards her.

Because she and Huo Dongming had been on the hot search list before, many people speculated about the relationship between her and Huo Dongming.

Seeing that the assistant was hesitant to speak, Shang Wanwan guessed someone.

"Is it Miss Qin from the company?"

The assistant blurted out: "Mrs. Huo, do you know?"

Shang Wanwan blinked slightly and gave her assistant a smile that was decent and dignified.

"Sir, I'll take care of you. You can go back and rest."

As the assistant's hand touched the door, she added.

"Thank you for sending Mr. Huo back."

The assistant murmured, "This is my job, Mrs. Huo, you're welcome."

He always felt that it was strange to talk to Mrs. Huo. It was not until he went downstairs and thought about it carefully that he realized that Mrs. Huo was too calm because she heard that her husband was drinking with Qin Meng.

And her behavior towards her husband just now was surprisingly similar to what he himself said was "part of his job."

When did Mrs. Huo become like this?

There was plenty of sunlight in the room. Shang Wanwan glanced at Huo Dongming, who was drunk and asleep, walked silently to the window, closed the curtains, and then turned on a dim yellow lamp on the bedside table.

She gently removed his shoes and coat and tried to move him back to bed.

However, a man of Huo Dongming's physique could not allow her to torment him while he was unconscious.

Therefore, Shang Wanwan had to use all her strength to barely move him a little bit into the bed so that he wouldn't fall off the bed if he turned over.

Drinking with your new love should be a happy thing, why do you look so sad?

Shang Wanwan sat beside the bed and looked at his sleeping face carefully. Fortunately, her feelings for him had become increasingly weak after his series of extramarital affairs.

Huo Dongming, it turns out that after I stopped loving you, life after marriage isn't that hard to endure.

She gently wiped his face with a wet tissue to take away the heat from his drunken body, which would make him feel better.

Shang Wanwan took care of him half-heartedly, fulfilling her duties as a wife, but without much emotion.

Each of her movements was just a mechanical repetition.

Huo Dongming seemed to sense something and his brows furrowed slightly.

When she tried to touch his face again, his hand grasped her slender wrist tightly.

"No, don't abandon me... I'm so lonely, don't abandon me..."
