In the early morning, Wen Man woke up.
Beside her pillow was a delicate square velvet box. Wen Man was stunned and opened it to see a dazzling diamond ring, a classic Tiffany style, with a carat count that seemed substantial.
Wen Man guessed who sent it. She found it ironic.
Gu Changqing had forced her into a corner, nearly causing her to be assaulted, and yet he still had the nerve to send her a diamond ring!
She was about to ask the nurse to return it to him when the door opened.
Gu Changqing came in and saw Wen Man looking at the diamond ring. His voice softened, "Awake? Do you like it?"
Wen Man closed the box, smiling faintly. "I like it."
"Which woman doesn't like diamonds?"
"But Gu Changqing, I don't want anything from you."
...
Wen Man thought she would feel disgusted and angry when she saw him again, but her unexpected calmness was as if she were dealing with a stranger.
Maybe, after despair, love no longer existed!
Gu Changqing lowered his gaze and said softly, "Wen Man, this is my compensation for you, with no other intentions."
Wen Man looked up and suppressed the tears, "Compensation? Gu Changqing, what compensation do you owe me? If you truly feel sorry for me, let go of my dad! ... I'll take my parents and leave B City immediately, never to appear in front of you again, let alone block your path! Gu Changqing, I beg you, can you do that?"
Gu Changqing couldn't do it!
He clasped his hands in his pockets, standing upright. "Let's talk when you've figured things out."
Wen Man couldn't bear it anymore. She threw the diamond ring in her hand at him with force. "Gu Changqing, get out!"
The hard little box brushed Gu Changqing's forehead, leaving a thin bloodstain...
Gu Changqing didn't care.
He bent down to pick up the small box and put it in his pocket. One day, he would personally put this diamond ring on Wen Man's finger and make her willingly be his woman.
He said, "Wen Man, this was an accident!" Wen Man closed her eyes and told him to leave!
Before Gu Changqing could say anything else, the door to the ward opened again. Huo Shaoting came in.
He was dressed quite elegantly today, in a classic black and white suit, with a crisp white shirt, accentuating his handsome and charming face even more!
The atmosphere in the ward was subtle, but Huo Shaoting seemed not to notice.
He nodded slightly at Gu Changqing, walked to Wen Man's bedside, and took out a payment slip from his pocket.
"Ms. Wen, your medical bill amounts to 22,600 yuan... Can you transfer it to me via WeChat?" Wen Man hadn't recovered emotionally yet, and Huo Shaoting took her phone from her. He leaned on her bed and scanned the QR code to add WeChat.
"Ms. Wen, you're really short on money. You only have 18,000 yuan?" Wen Man's face was burning!
Huo Shaoting said seriously, "You still owe 4,600 yuan. How about we play golf another day, and I'll forget about this 4,600 yuan?"
Wen Man looked up at him.
With her chestnut waist-length curls, soft and silky, she looked gentle and tender.
She placed her hand on Huo Shaoting's arm and said softly, "I can accompany you now."
Huo Shaoting glanced at her, then at Gu Changqing, and smiled ambiguously, "Changqing, step aside! Ms. Wen won't be able to relax with you around!
Gu Changqing clenched the velvet box tightly, his knuckles turning white before he forced a smile. "I won't disturb you!"
He left without looking back!
As the door closed, Wen Man felt all her strength drain away. She leaned against the head of the bed and whispered, "Thank you, Lawyer Huo!"
Huo Shaoting put down her phone.
He playfully asked, "Aren't you going to accompany me?"
Wen Man looked up, surprised, "No... Lawyer Huo, I was just cooperating with you earlier."
Huo Shaoting continued to gaze at her, his black eyes deep and inscrutable.
With such a handsome face staring at her like that, any woman would feel something... Wen Man felt a flutter in her body, a feminine awareness awakening quietly.
