Chapter 25 Valentine's Day

He really wanted to have a chance to start over with her.

"No, I can take a taxi myself."

Shang Wanwan didn't want to cause any trouble.

"The snow is too heavy. It's safer for me to take you there."

Liu Yanshu was willing to do anything for her.

It would be great if these few simple words came out of Huo Dongming's mouth.

It’s a pity that she may not be able to wait for it in this lifetime.

"Senior, you should go back. I'm married, and it's not good for others to see me."

Lu Zhe's life or death is uncertain, so why bother involving Liu Yanshu?

There was nothing between the two of them.

Liu Yanshu no longer insisted.

"Call me if you need anything."

Shang Wanwan walked into the snow alone.

Liu Yanshu parked the car where she couldn't see him and watched her get into the taxi until she left.

It was already dawn when she returned to the Huo family.

I rushed back in the wind and snow, and received a call from my mother saying that Shang Xingyuan was out of danger, but he had not woken up yet because the anesthetic effect had not worn off.

Shang Wanwan's anxious heart finally settled down.

Mother Zhang told her that Huo Dongming came back and asked where she was going, and left shortly after dawn.

"Did you tell me anything, sir?"

She didn't believe that he would come back and find her not at home without asking for anything or saying anything.

Mother Zhang glanced at her and whispered, "The master said that after the wife comes back, don't go out at night, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

You will have to bear the consequences yourself.

What else can he do except using Lu Zhe to threaten her?

Shang Wanwan went upstairs by herself and found that the study where she had slept was locked. Mother Zhang followed closely behind her.

"My husband said that my wife can only sleep in the master bedroom from now on."

Shang Wanwan gritted her teeth after hearing this, and Zhang's mother lowered her head and dared not look at her.

An Lan, the family's maid, Shang Wanwan is someone that anyone can control as long as she's in the Huo family.

Mrs. Huo, huh——

It’s just three words.

Shang Wanwan nodded lightly.

"knew."

Without resistance, he obediently returned to the master bedroom as usual.

The big bed was cold and lifeless.

Huo Dongming had never lain down.

He had been with Yi Xiaxue the whole night, and he came back to this house just to show off to his father.

A hint of cold mockery appeared at the corner of Shang Wanwan's lips.

Aren't you tired from acting so hard?

After being in the room for a while, she sent a message to Lu Zhe.

"Lawyer Lu, are you okay?"

She was worried that Huo Dongming might do something bad to others.

After a long time, there was finally a response.

"I have to go on a business trip during this period. We may not see each other for a long time."

There was no further news after this sentence.

Shang Wanwan edited many messages and then withdrew them one by one. There was no need to ask anymore.

She suspected that Lu Zhe's words about not seeing each other for a long time had something to do with Huo Dongming.

Not contacting Lu Zhe is the best protection for him.

It's still snowing outside.

The branches of the trees in the yard were all dressed in silver.

Shang Wanwan's phone vibrated a few times on the table.

"Ms. Shang, today is Valentine's Day. Are you free to come to our hotel and play for two hours?"

It was a star-rated hotel where she and Lu Zhe had dinner, and the price offered by the other party was very good.

She is now penniless and owes Liu Yanshu more than one million.

"have."

Valentine's Day?

Of course she is free, what does Valentine's Day have to do with her?

Huo Dongming left for one day and never came back.

Her cell phone didn't ring either.

In the afternoon, she dressed up carefully and went to the hotel early because the performance was about to start at six o'clock.

The manager handed her the program list. Apparently today was a good day, as many people had booked tables for candlelight dinners.

All the songs she got were the ones she could play.

In the soft lighting of the hotel lobby, each table was lit with candles.

A melodious and gentle tune flowed out from Shang Wanwan's fingertips, and the entire hall was immediately immersed in a romantic and warm atmosphere.

This is my third Valentine's Day since I married Huo Dongming.

She was still alone.

The difference is that this year is more lively than previous years, and she is celebrating Valentine's Day for others.

Perhaps it was because the weather was too good that the originally two-hour performance was extended to almost dawn.

She chose to be paid on a daily basis and received a generous appearance fee when she left.

After coming out of the hotel, the cold air penetrated everywhere and she shivered with cold.

It was too late and the weather was bad so it was difficult to get a car.

She had no choice but to walk out of the hotel and try her luck at the platform opposite.

When I reached the crosswalk, a red light blocked my way.

Dongshi is known as the city that never sleeps.

Late at night, the city lights are still bright.

Not far away, fireworks were blooming, rushing into the sky, and soon dispersing in the sky, falling down like a star rain and disappearing.

"Propose, propose, propose..."

A group of people were cheering, like a group of friends gathering to watch the dog food show.

She looked at the group of people with envy, as she had once fantasized about having a romantic proposal ceremony with someone.

Instead of a cold red seal that forced her to stay in a loveless marriage for three whole years.

"Today is Miss Xia Xue's birthday. Mr. Huo has carefully prepared a gift for you. Open it quickly."

Snowflakes are falling outdoors.

Yi Xiaxue looked at the gift box in the assistant's hand, she covered her lips with her hands in surprise, tears almost welling up.

She had been waiting for this day for many years, and it was finally here.

Huo Dongming faced more than a dozen media outlets with a cold expression.

Yi Xiaxue really takes advantage of every opportunity he has to build momentum for herself.

The two of them knew each other since childhood. Yi Xiaxue's father used to be a driver for the old man.

When he quit his job, his father gave him a generous pension and ensured that his family would never have to worry about food and clothing.

Yi Xiaxue took advantage of this relationship and successfully became a popular star with her good looks.

Huo Dongming was disgusted by Yi Xiaxue's behavior, but he endured it because she saved his life.

"Ring, ring, ring—"

The people around him joined in the commotion without even thinking it was a big deal.

Yi Xiaxue looked at the box in the assistant's hand with shyness and anticipation, and said softly.

"Dong Ming, isn't this too fast? I haven't even prepared myself mentally and you gave me such a big surprise. I'm shy."

She pretended to be coquettish and hit his chest lightly. Huo Dongming held her wrist, and managed to prevent her hand from getting stuck to his clothes.

"It's just a necklace. What are you preparing for?"

He snatched the box from his assistant and opened it.

"Necklace?"

Isn't it an engagement ring?

The blush on Yi Xiaxue's face gradually faded, and she glared at her assistant as she took it.

The assistant was frightened by her ferocious expression and took a few steps back, stepping directly on the photographer's foot.

"Put it on her."

Huo Dongming threw it into his assistant's arms.

Yi Xiaxue is not a pushover, and the assistant around her is certainly not a freeloader.

The assistant deliberately leaked the news of Yi Xiaxue's birthday to Huo Dongming, and took the initiative to team up with Yi Xiaxue to do this.

The problem is that neither of them guessed correctly that what Huo Dongming gave was a necklace, not a ring.

The original intention was to advance the relationship and break through this layer of window paper, but the result was a slap in Yi Xiaxue's face.

"It's getting late. I'll take you home."

Huo Dongming's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. The assistant quickly put clothes on Yi Xiaxue and dispersed the people who were making a fuss.

Shang Wanwan went to the other side to take a taxi. When passing by this group of people, she inadvertently glanced at Huo Dongming who was standing side by side with Yi Xiaxue.

Fireworks are blooming above the sky.
