Chapter 185: Have I ever asked you for anything besides love?
Huo Dongming carried Shang Wanwan upstairs. Shang Wanwan cooperated very obediently, and Huo Dongming took good care of her.
From her body to her soul, he no longer took pleasure in torturing her as he did before, he would take her feelings into consideration.
He carefully placed her delicate hand on the pillowcase.
It was a real pleasure for both body and mind, without any restraints, and she was not tense both physically and mentally at the same time.
They only turned on the bedside lamp, and the dim yellow light made their relationship even more ambiguous.
"Wanwan, give me a baby."
He moved his lips to her ear, and this was the second time he mentioned having a child.
Shang Wanwan was still dazed and hadn't come to her senses yet.
Her brain uncontrollably replied: "Okay"
Huo Dongming held her quietly, and Shang Wanwan lay motionless in his arms until Huo Dongming thought she had fallen asleep. Then he got up and went to the bathroom to rinse his body again, changed into a cool pair of pajamas and came out.
It was late at night, and the moonlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He went to the balcony and lit a cigarette.
Shang Wanwan was awakened from her sleep by intermittent noises. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and went to the balcony.
Huo Dongming was on the phone, his voice was especially clear in the dark.
"I have sent Yi Xiaxue away, Grandpa, don't worry, her existence will not affect my marriage with Wanwan."
The old man was coughing heavily on the phone.
"Just be sensible. I heard that the Chen couple think highly of Wanwan. The only field that our Huo family has not entered over the years is technology, which is a rare piece of cake.
You have stabilized the Chen couple, and our Huo Group can get a share of any project they develop in the future. As for Yi Xiaxue, don't let her return to China unless she has something else to do."
Shang Wanwan originally wanted to walk towards Huo Dongming and hug him from behind, but when she heard what he was talking about with his grandfather on the phone, she stopped in her tracks.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what's going on. Yi Xiaxue saved my life, and I have to be responsible for her. I will not give up on Wanwan, and we have already planned to have a baby."
Shang Wanwan felt like she was pinned to the ground. Every word Huo Dongming said was like a nail that penetrated deeply into her heart.
He told himself that it was his grandfather who was bothered by sending Yi Xiaxue away, and that the three percentage points of shares he gave her were related to Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen's love for her.
Huo Dongming also said that Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen signed the order with the Huo Group without hesitation because of her.
He probably treated me like this because of the Chen couple.
Shang Wanwan's heart ached in her chest. The tenderness and care she had shown him during this period had a price, and he had not really cherished her heart.
It is because of needs, physical needs and interests.
Shang Wanwan felt that she was really too stupid and naive. How could she have thought that he would really fall in love with her?
Huo Dongming put out the cigarette in his hand, turned around and met Shang Wanwan's eyes.
In the dark night, her bright eyes were like the stars in the sky, shining brightly, but the stars seemed to be covered with mist from a distance.
"Wanwan, why are you awake?"
Huo Dongming frowned, having just finished a conversation with his grandfather.
There wasn't a trace of guilt or uneasiness in his eyes as Shang Wanwan could see, and every move he made was so natural.
"Well, I'm a little thirsty, so I thought of getting some water to drink."
Huo Dongming put away his phone, walked in and squeezed her hand. Finding that her palms were cold, he quickly pulled her to the bed and made her sit on it.
"If you want to drink water, tell me and I'll pour it for you. You don't even know to put on shoes when you get up. It's still cold in early spring.
Women should pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise they will get cold legs easily. You sit down, I'll go downstairs to get some water."
If Huo Dongming had done this a few months earlier, Shang Wanwan might have been moved to tears and would have felt that she had finally gotten the same return for her true love.
But now, hearing these caring words from Huo Dongming, she felt no emotion at all, but instead felt a little disgusted.
Huo Dongming is this considerate and caring towards Yi Xiaxue and even Secretary An.
A woman doesn't fall in love with a man for no reason.
Either this man is handsome, or this man is rich, or this man is sweet-talking and has high emotional value.
Shang Wanwan thought that what attracted her to Huo Dongming in the first place was his looks.
Huo Dongming never took her to heart. It was normal for him to ignore her, not care about her, and not love her.
Perhaps this time Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen gave her a good opportunity. She began to have value. She was no longer a burden who only asked for money from her husband, but a useful person who could bring commercial value to the Huo family.
Thus, she finally got the treatment she wanted.
Oh--
How ironic.
Shang Wanwan sat on the bed. The dim yellow light made her rosy face appear, but there was no light in her beautiful eyes.
Huo Dongming brought some water to her and said, "Come, drink some water. Be careful not to get burned."
He wanted to feed her, but Shang Wanwan insisted on taking the cup over.
"I drink it myself."
She took a small sip, but half of the water got stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it.
Finally, Shang Wanwan mustered up her courage and said, "Huo Dongming, we don't have to be like this."
she said.
He raised her and helped the business.
He wanted to cooperate with the Chen family, and she would not stand idly by. She would repay his kindness to her over the years. Before she left the Huo family and him, she would do something for him.
Huo Dongming looked at her, a hint of displeasure appearing between his brows.
"How are things going between us? Mrs. Huo, you were fine before, why are you so upset now?"
He would never understand women. He gave her everything she wanted. Not only that, he also obeyed her in every way.
What else is she dissatisfied with?
Huo Dongming pinched her chin with increasing force, but Shang Wanwan didn't even frown.
"Shang Wanwan, people should not be greedy. Greed turns into poverty. If you want more and more, don't say I can't give it to you. No man can give it to you either."
Shang Wanwan's heart sank to the bottom.
There was a hint of moisture in her beautiful eyes: "What have I ever asked you for? Have I ever asked you for anything other than love? You say I'm greedy, Huo Dongming, tell me honestly, am I really greedy?"
The good mood that Huo Dongming felt during his romantic relationship with her disappeared completely in an instant.
His eyes dimmed slightly: "I have to go to the company tomorrow, you should also go to bed early."
