Chapter 441 As night fell, he longed for her!

ck of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and the crimson ember glowed brightly in the dark. He didn't say anything, so Si Anran naturally wouldn't bother him any further!Cooperation is like that!But...Lu Qian finished speaking.

The secretary wanted to offer some comforting words, but she felt it was inappropriate.

Lu Qian told her to go home.

The secretary, along with the second and third secretaries, had all left. The lights in the office of the building flickered and dimmed one by one...

All was silent.

Lu Qian walked slowly into the office with a delicate lunchbox. The door closed gently, and he leaned against the door panel for a long time without moving. It wasn't that he was physically uncomfortable, but rather mentally exhausted.

My mind is filled with images of Mingzhu and people together.

And there was ShuoShuo still sitting in the car, that expression of disappointment.

As a father, how could he fail to see Shuoshuo's little thoughts The silly boy blamed him, but also wanted him to accompany him. But his current situation made it impossible for him to bring the children from Mingzhu's side.

He wants the pearl, but he doesn't want to make the pearl uncomfortable.

Not even a bit.

The child is hers, he won't fight for it.

As for feelings, Lu Qian thought, he would always wait until that day.

But he couldn't say what day it was, he could only watch her from afar quietly, even watching her get a boyfriend, watching her interact with others.

He is not without fear either.

Those who have been screened by the Huo family are not to be underestimated.

A woman's feelings, sometimes in the heat of the moment, can be given away impulsively.

Pearls……

Lu Qian slowly walked over and sat down on the sofa.

On the sofa, there was a pair of floral shorts scattered around.

This belongs to Xiao Lu You.

Lu Qian picked it up, carefully folded it, and put it away.

He ate alone, slowly savoring each bite, as if the surrounding area were still filled with the lively energy of the children just moments ago.

At this moment, he had never longed for family more.

He longed for children around his knees, he yearned to hold chubby little Lulu, even if she spoke a few words unclearly, it would sound sweet.

As for Shuoshuo, she stayed close by, watching her younger sister.

Lu Qian closed his eyes slightly.

The door creaked open, and Liu the secretary came to greet them. Seeing the empty room, she eased the tension with a smile: "Have the two little ones been sent off already"

Lu Qian smiled faintly: "Well, I followed mommy."

Liu's secretary guessed that Young Master Si was also here, and this was not a pleasant occasion. She smiled again and said: "Next time, bring both little ones back to the villa, so Grandma can be happy."

Lu Qian looked up, "You're just good at making me happy."

Ms. Liu coaxed him into eating, and they drove back to the villa together.

Lu Qian took a shower, changed into a black bathrobe, and lay in bed.

The bed, it's where he and Mingzhu slept.

When night fell, he longed for her especially.

From feelings to the body, it's all.

He has been ill for almost two years. Not to mention two years, he hasn't even managed to solve things on his own once.

Never once.

Lu Qian gently sat up and leaned against the headboard. He opened the drawer and took out the picture frame inside.

This is her picture.

The photo was taken in Lu Garden. The weather was nice, and when the wisteria was in bloom, he sat under a stone table drinking tea while she hugged him from behind, her expression bright and cheerful.

They were so great back then!

Lu Qian thought of her especially, he really missed her!

He estimated that by now, she should also be lying in bed, so he dialed her number.

It rang a few times, and Mingzhu answered.

Her tone was somewhat cold, raspy in the night: "Is something the matter"

Lu Qian softly asked, "Has Xiao Lu You gone to sleep"

She glanced at her youngest daughter beside her, unable to help but pat her hand gently, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Usually, is she well-behaved"

"Pretty well-behaved."

The atmosphere was tense.

After a long silence, Lu Qian smiled gently: "What's wrong Are you unhappy that I'm asking about the children"

Breathing together, entwined across the distance of our phones.

Lu Qian's voice suddenly dropped to a husky murmur, with the kind of masculine tension that came from deep within: "How are you... getting along with him"

After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.

But when she lay in bed, she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

The memories with Lu Qian, like a fleeting slideshow, kept flashing in her mind. She tried to ignore them, but couldn't...

Over there, Lu Qian was also.

After this call, I miss you even more.

But what could she do Mingzhu held a grudge in her heart. If she didn't let it out, she would never forgive him, nor would she put aside her pride and start anew with him.

So, he will endure, and wait for her with the utmost patience.

Lu Qian gently closed his eyes.

For the next few days, he didn't show up around Mingzhu. He also stopped going to the Huo family every day. All he did was call Xiao Shuo every day and listen to Xiaoluyou's voice by the way.

He picked up Shuoshuo after school, brought him home for dinner, and then sent him back.

He has never met Mingzhu.

A week passed in a flash.

The Si family hosted a banquet, which was actually the premiere of an art film.

The movie was invested in by the Si family, and coincidentally, the lead actress is Ms. Hu.

Lu Qian's former confidante.

When Wen Man invited Ming Zhu, she added a sentence, fearing that Ming Zhu would mind. But Ming Zhu replied with a sigh, "With him the way he is now, how could I possibly mind Miss Hu Besides, she's a good person."

Wen Man told Huo Shaoting privately that Mingzhu had matured.

Ho Shao-ting let out a sneer.

If Miss Hu had not married and had no children, would you consider Mingzhu

Wen Man twisted her body and began to put on jewelry.

Ho Shaoting hugged her slender waist, his high nose pressed against her ear, and murmured in a low voice, "I really don't want to let you go!"

Wen Man's gaze met his in the mirror.

She whispered, "Could you pick me up on your way home if you have time You're too busy to join me for the dinner party"

Her tone was soft and feminine, with a hint of coquettishness.

Ho Shaoting was taken in by her.

His palm slid gently across her waist, and he couldn't resist nipping at the soft flesh behind her ear, his voice a low chuckle. "I wouldn't want to give anyone else the chance to be my protector! I'll pick you up after the banquet, okay"

Wen Man reached out and gently patted his handsome face.

“I wouldn't dare say no!”

"That's all you need to know!"

……

Huo Shaoting, full of youthful vigor, leaned in close to her ear and whispered warmly, "I'll reward you for your hard work tonight."

Wen Man was a bit overwhelmed.

They have known each other for almost a decade and have been married for quite some time, yet Huo Shaoting's interest in this area remains undiminished. It's truly puzzling where he gets his enthusiasm from.

All the way to the banquet hall, Wen Man's face was still flushed.

The car stopped.

Huo Shaoting opened the car door for her, a gentleman.

Wen Man reciprocated his kiss and whispered, "Keep your heart close to you, we're going to walk this life together!"

Ho Shao-ting's eyes were deep.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Wen Man!"

This voice sounds familiar.

Ho Shaoting and Wen Man both looked over, and then Wen Man's eyes became slightly moist, it was Gu Xigguang.

He was dressed in a black suit, standing tall and straight.

That face has been repaired very well.

It is a bit more mature than before.

Wen Man nodded softly.

Ho Shao-ting felt a mix of emotions, it wasn't pleasant. This kid, even in his dreams, was still his godson! But since he saved Wen Man, he had to be magnanimous on the surface.

Ho Shao-ting looked at his watch and smiled lightly: "I have to rush back to the company for a meeting, Xi Guang, take care of your sister."

Wen Man: ...

Gu Xiguang smiled faintly.

Ho Shaoting gave Wen Man another glance and walked gracefully to the car, opened the door and got in.

That bearing and grace are very attractive.

Wen Man stood there, watching silently.

Gu Xiguang also looked in the direction of the departing car, a faint smile on his lips: "You two are so sweet."

Wen Man gently tucked the Dior shawl around her shoulders and smiled: "Xigguang, you'll meet your destined person someday too."

Gu Xiguang nodded.

They went in side by side, and as soon as they were inside, Miss Hu came over.

First, she pinched Gu Xiguang's face, taking a little advantage. Then, she said to Wen Man, "I'm dying of laughter! You called Mingzhu over, but you didn't say that your uncle came too This young master of the Si family is still half the host! Today's scene is going to be amazing!"

Wen Man was slightly surprised: "Uncle also came"

Miss Hu wore a haute couture, high-slit tulle gown that swayed gracefully in the wind.

It was supposed to be a stunning sight.

But the pearl is even more beautiful tonight.

A black floor-length gown, with the luxurious lace covering a beautiful body.

Her hair was pulled up.

She was adorned with pearl earrings and a priceless diamond bracelet.

Ms. Hu couldn't help but say, "A true heiress."

Of course, she couldn't help but look at Wen Man again, thinking she was just as beautiful as Mingzhu.

Wen Man smiled faintly and was just about to say something when she saw Lu Qian from afar. He was in a corner, talking and socializing with someone, holding a glass of champagne in his hand.

Under the crystal chandelier, his refined face was fair.

A classic black and white suit, worn incredibly well.

Wen Man couldn't help but think: over the years of navigating the treacherous waters of the official and business spheres, to maintain such a figure and appearance was truly rare.

Over there, Lu Qian also saw Wen Man.

He held a glass of wine and walked toward us...

However, unexpectedly, a pair of figures from the other side came over as well. The three of them collided head-on like this.

"Lu Qian," Mingzhu murmured softly.

And Lu Qian, with his gentlemanly demeanor, steadied her body and smiled gently. Then, he said to the young master of the Si family: "It's still the old problem, clumsy as always, like a child!"

The young master of the Si family coughed lightly.

What can he say

The beautiful face, like a pearl, trembled slightly. She understood Lu Qian; he didn't say those words without meaning.

The more generous he acted,

The more she resented him, the less he seemed to care. How dare he How could he appear before her so nonchalantly...ll decide, you buy a car to commute."Anran put down the towel and began to fiddle with the money in her hands.With her 300,000 yuan, buying a car wouldn't be a problem, but she now had to tell Aunt Li...
