Chapter 209 One Wants to Be Together, the Other Just Wants to Escape

Huo Dongming was not at all unhappy because of her insults. On the contrary, he took her hand and rubbed it gently on his face.

"Wanwan, you know I care about you very much."

These words coming out of Huo Dongming's mouth made Shang Wanwan laugh out of anger.

After loving Huo Dongming for so many years, this was the first time she heard him say that he cared about her. Ironically, the news reported that he had just given all the resources of his old love Yi Xiaxue, who had been with him for many years, to his new love.

Outside, Huo Shao's new favorite relied on his love to thrive in the entertainment industry. He imprisoned his wife, who had no ability to resist, at home to bear children for him, in order to deceive the old man's eyes and ears.

In this way, Master Huo can have a successful career outside while protecting his own future and family.

It really kills two birds with one stone. I guess all men would like to live this kind of life.

"Thank you. Thank you for your concern."

She curled the corners of her lips slightly, and the sneer on her face was already overflowing.

Huo Dongming grabbed her thin wrist and pulled her under his nose. Because she was thin and pregnant, Huo Dongming did not dare to use too much force, but he could not hide the anger in his eyes.

"Shang Wanwan, I have tried my best to please you and care about you. I was afraid that you would be lonely and even invited your friends to my house to accompany you for such a long time. What do you want me to do?"

Shang Wanwan looked at him with sparkling eyes. Over the years, she had never been as clear-headed as she was now.

Her big, watery eyes reflected his handsome face in her pupils, but it did not stir up the slightest ripple in her heart.

"You don't have to do anything, really..."

She no longer called him Mr. Huo, fearing that the consequences of angering him would be unbearable for her.

She is not afraid of death and has died before, but failed.

The shadow of her last miscarriage has followed her for half her life, and she is determined to keep the baby in her belly no matter what.

Shang Wanwan tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart and calm down.

They were an old married couple and she had known him for a long time.

No matter what means he used, she knew that in the end Huo Dongming just wanted to leave a way for his woman outside to survive in front of her husband.

As long as Shang Wanwan stayed with him for one more day, or even gave birth to a child for him, the old man would turn a blind eye to the woman he had outside.

In a family business, the wife is the guarantee of the career and the face of the family. She is very clear about her current position.

If her family had the power and influence to rival the Huo family, this would actually be beneficial to her, as Mr. and Mrs. Chen were as powerful as the Huo family.

Ultimately, the reason lies with Shang Wanwan and Huo Dongming.

Shang Wanwan thinks that she is not capable enough to deal with Huo Dongming at home. Mr. and Mrs. Chen are wary of her and cannot support her. Huo Dongming is a ruthless person who will do anything to achieve his goals.

There is no emotion in his eyes.

Shang Wanwan thought so, a useless person could never achieve anything great, the only thing she could do was to obey, and finally tried to escape.

She didn't have the ability to fight Huo Dongming. Once she started to resist, the Chen family would be the ones to suffer.

Huo Dongming was not an emperor, but he had the ruthlessness and ability to exterminate nine generations of a clan. Her adoptive father was the best example.

Shang Wanwan thought for a moment, then gently placed her head in his arms. The warmth of his chest used to make her heart palpitate, but now it felt like leaning on an iron plate, and her heartbeat did not move at all.

"I just want to give birth to the baby safely. Huo Dongming, isn't everything you have mine? It doesn't really matter whether I give you these things or not."

She said unkind words to please him, and the anger in Huo Dongming's chest gradually dissipated in her soft voice.

"This is a token of my love. Be good and wear it."

He insisted on wearing it, so she had to lift up her clothes to reveal her slender and fair neck. Huo Dongming touched her skin, her fair and smooth neck was so delicate that it dazzled his eyes. His heart sank slightly, and his eyes became deep and difficult to discern.

Shang Wanwan lowered her head and felt that he had not moved for a long time. She raised her eyes in surprise but accidentally bumped into the deep pool. Her heart trembled, and Huo Dongming had already gently buckled the diamond-studded necklace around her neck.

"Very beautiful, Mrs. Huo."

The necklace fell on her collarbone, very chic.

Huo Dongming always held Shang Wanwan's hand in his palm, with his head against hers and his face against hers.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would think that the couple was very loving.

Shang Wanwan let him carefully caress her hand and said softly.

"How about we go upstairs?"

She knew very well why he gave her such an expensive necklace. Shang Wanwan's words were like adding fuel to an already raging fire, hitting the mark.

"Is it okay?"

Huo Dongming opened his mouth with a rustling voice.

Shang Wanwan used to look forward to every night with him, and always tried her best to please and cater to him.

but……

The important thing is that she has to give birth to the baby safely before finding a way to move on.

Dislike for Huo Dongming, complaints about life, and life and death cannot solve the current predicament.

She was only temporarily resigned.

"As long as you don't hurt the baby."

Shang Wanwan softly and deliberately put her head close to his arms. The hormones surging in Huo Dongming were extremely wild and heart-stirring.

How many nights had Shang Wanwan leaned on his broad shoulders, fascinated by him. How much she loved him at the beginning, how much grievance was contained in the tears she shed later.

It turns out that every tear a woman sheds for a man she deeply loves is the water that entered her brain at the time.

Now, she wanted to pour it out.

"will not……"

Huo Dongming put his hands around her waist and carried her directly to the bedroom on the second floor in broad daylight.

The servants were not surprised by any actions of the master and mistress of the house.

Huo Dongming carried her into the room. The small thing in her belly made her obviously much heavier than before.

But it was a piece of cake for Huo Dongming.

Even if Shang Wanwan grew another twenty pounds, he would still be able to carry her.

But she was still thin and no matter how much she ate, she didn't gain weight. This made Huo Dongming very anxious.

She lay flat on the bed, her dark hair spread out on the clean white sheets, and her whole body presented a morbid beauty.

If Huo Dongming had paid a little more attention, he would have easily seen that his wife was gradually losing her life under his willful confinement.

But he just thought it was still a mood problem, and she would be fine once she felt better.

"I'll go home more often to accompany you and the baby in the future, okay?"

Huo Dongming's hand reached the slightly bulging belly. He lowered his head and kissed it attentively. A little life was growing there.

In a few months, they will welcome their first child, and Huo Dongming is trembling both physically and mentally.

He longed for the birth of this child because it would be an opportunity to reconcile the relationship between him and his wife.

Shang Wanwan was trembling all over. Child, her child.

She wanted to do everything she could to escape from him.

Huo Dongming tried his best to be gentle, but Shang Wanwan's thoughts were the opposite.

One to be together, and the other.

I just want to escape...
