him to remain completely indifferent. His gaze on Wen Man held an undisguised liking.Even the blind could feel it!It just so happens that the next round, Jiang Rui won.The private room was eerily sil...Good morning.

Huo Xi woke up, Zhang Chongguang had already gotten up, and there was a delicate box on the pillow.

She sat up and took it, opening it.

It was a delicate chain with diamonds, simple in style. It was the kind of thing Hsi often wore. She knew it was from Chang Chong-guang, a gift intended to win her favor because... he had finally finished that special project

Ho-chi looked at it silently for a while, then closed the box and put it on the bedside table.

She quickly washed her face, changed into a new outfit and put on light makeup, then went downstairs.

All the staff at home were back, each busy with their own tasks. Breakfast was also ready and laid out on the table in a grand manner. In the center of the table, a vase held blue roses, a very rare variety that had been flown in from abroad just because Huo Xi liked them.

Zhang Chongguang was dressed impeccably, sitting at the head of the dining table, his eyes downcast as he read the newspaper.

Hearing the maid call "Madam," he looked up and said softly, "Come over and have breakfast. We'll have to pick up Mianmian and Ruirui for school soon."

Huo Xi walked over and sat down.

A cup of hot milk was brought to her, and she looked up and said, "I like to drink cold milk!"

Zhang Chongguang dissents: "Drinking cold things makes your menstrual cramps worse."

Such private matters, Hoxi disliked speaking in front of the servants, so she lowered her head and drank half a cup of milk, no longer continuing the conversation.

Zhang Chongguang looked at her for a while, pursed his lips slightly, Huo Xi wasn't like this before.

Once, she enjoyed talking to him about cases at the law firm and would even spend intimate evenings with him. Nowhere near as cold as now!

After breakfast, Huo Xi got into Zhang Chongguang's car.

On the way, her phone rang incessantly. It was her clients, all discussing cases.

Therefore, the two had no chance to chat.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Huo family's parking lot. Huo Mianmian and Xiao Zhang Rui were already carrying their schoolbags, stretching their necks to wait, standing next to Huo Shaoting.

The car stopped, and the two children got into the vehicle.

Chang Chongguang got out of the car and greeted Huo Shaoting: "Dad! Thanks for taking care of Mom these past few days."

He Shaoting stood in the morning light, still as handsome and dashing as he was when he was young.

He brushed the dew off the black RV roof and smiled, "I told you to let Mianmian and Ruirui stay with us. Your mother and I are still young and can help you take care of the kids, giving you two some alone time. You refused... Now that you're looking after them for just two days, you're being polite again"

"Not at all, Dad! … I'll bring them back for a meal in a couple of days."

Ho Shao-ting patted his shoulder: "Okay! By the way, Chongguang, keep a close eye on that Guangdian project. With such a huge profit margin, everyone will be envious. Keep a close watch."

Zhang Chongguang nodded: "Yes! Dad, don't worry, I will be careful."

He glanced at his watch. "Time to go, or Mianmian will give me a hard time for weeks if I'm late. That little girl is getting bigger and her temper is harder to deal with."

Huo Shaoting took a step back and let her pass.

Ho Xi rolled down the car window and waved to his father: "Let's go!"

Huo Shaoting laughed and scolded, “You little brat, you don't even come down from the car to say a few words, your wings are getting hard, huh!”

At this time, Zhang Chongguang got into the car.

Huo Xi leaned against his shoulder and winked playfully at her father: "Dad, you're absolutely right!"

Ho Shao-ting impatiently shooed them away.

The car window went up...

Before starting the car, Zhang Chongguang glanced down at the hand on his shoulder. Huo Xi slowly retracted her hand. Zhang Chongguang's gaze fell on her face, and he spoke in a low voice: "Used up and then discarded Wasn't she just showing affection in front of my father"

Hosey smiled, but his eyes didn't. "Didn't you cooperate too"

Zhang Chongguang didn't say anything more, after all, there were two children in the car, and almost none of their conflicts were shown in front of the children...

He sent the two children to school and then took Ho Xi to his law firm.

The car stopped, and Zhang Chongguang held her hand and said: “I have a social engagement with the Land Bureau tonight and can’t pick up the children. You pick them up and take them out for something to eat. I'll come get you when I finish my engagement.”

Huo Xi nodded. "Alright! If you're out too late, don't pick us up. I'll drive over."

Zhang Chongguang's eyes dimmed slightly.

He thought about it for a moment, then explained to her, "Nothing happened last night, believe me!"

Ho Xi just smiled faintly.

How could a man, even if he had done something with another woman, have no feeling at all If there was nothing, Zhang Chongguang wouldn't keep emphasizing that there wasn't. Based on his personality, he would just impatiently say, "Are you bothering me How am I supposed to admit to something that didn't happen"

She got out of the car and left, her assistant quickly came up to meet her, and they discussed the case together.

Zhang Chongguang sat in the car, quietly watching her back, watching her profile radiate with vigor.

Perhaps this is the life Hsi wishes for.

Mianmian was an accident, Ruirui was born because of Mianmian... She had long since lost her feelings for him, being with him was nothing more than duty and compromise.

She may be enduring, but she cannot see his pain.

Zhang Chongguang had a pile of work waiting to be dealt with, but he was still sitting in the car, quietly smoking two cigarettes... reviewing his marriage with Huo Xi.

At half past nine, his secretary called to remind him to go to the company.

Zhang Chongguang had a busy day.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he met with his female secretary at the Land Bureau to discuss the land allocation for the Optoelectronics project... Zhang Chongguang had discussed it several times, and tonight was just a final confirmation.

The most luxurious hotel in the city, with a private room that can accommodate 40 people.

When Zhang Chongguang arrived, most people were already there. He pushed the door open and with a smile, he said to someone in a certain department: “Mr. Zhang is late! You have to drink three cups as a penalty!”

He poured three cups for the person while talking.

Zhang Chongguang was very generous, he drank three small cups of baijiu in a row, without his face turning red at all: "Sorry sorry! I'm late and should be punished. Is Bureau Liang still angry now"

He patted him on the shoulder and let it go.

Although Zhang Chongguang was the one directing things, with the Huo and Lu families plus Zhang Chongguang himself, how many people in City B wouldn't give them face Smart people all know to cut their losses when they see a good opportunity.

Mr. Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang has a good drinking capacity! Please sit down quickly!"

He warmly introduced: “Besides our colleagues, Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang, we also have several popular female anchors from the city television station. They are all very charming young ladies… Mr. Zhang, you should get acquainted with them.”

He had seen this kind of deception many times before.

Anyone surnamed Liang would want to prop up someone, and since it was inconvenient for them to do so themselves, they used the hands of merchants.

Indeed, a woman named Lanlan was his beloved.

The little girl was very pretty, with a pure and sweet look. She held up her cup shyly and called to Zhang Chongguang, "Zhang Zong," wanting to toast him. Zhang Chongguang, seeing that she was surnamed Liang, didn't want to embarrass her, so he accepted the toast. He knew in his heart what he would do later on.

Lan Lan finished her cup and looked with a gleam in her eyes, even giving Mr. Liang a lingering glance.

"Liang Ju is in a good mood and says again, 'We can't neglect another beautiful woman, Song Yun, the host of the television station!'"

He stopped short, and Zhang Chongguang immediately knew that he wasn't someone under his protection.nly hardship is that our dear old grandma has to come up with all sorts of ways to cook for us every day."During the feast, Mingzhu whispered to her, "Grandma is so old, you shouldn't make her work."L...
