Thank me for what? Thank me for kissing you?

Huoshao Ting bends down.

He didn't kiss her directly, instead, he cradles Wen Man's cheek with one hand, lightly brushing her delicate cheek with slightly rough fingertips, then he grabs her hair, gently stroking and kneading it.

Such a blunt knife is the most torturous.

Wen Man has never experienced anything like this, unable to resist a soft groan: "Huoshao Ting!"

…

"Don't call me Lawyer Huo anymore?"

His straight nose touches hers, they are extremely close, their breaths mingling. Huoshao Ting could kiss her anytime.

Wen Man clenches his shirt, her heartbeat racing… She wants to close her eyes.

But Huoshao Ting doesn't allow it, he lightly tugs her long hair, his voice husky: "Wen Man, open your eyes and watch us kiss."

Calling her name for the first time, for some reason, Wen Man feels a sense of urgency. She opens her eyes, her red lips trembling, slowly pressing against his. Huoshao Ting hugs her tightly.

In a hospital room, they both feel something special… What started as a light kiss gradually ignites!

Huoshao Ting struggles to control himself, he asks softly, "Wen Man, are you sure?" Wen Man briefly regains her senses.

She instinctively wants to push Huoshao Ting away, but then she thinks of the emotional investment she has made over the years, realizing it's all been a joke. Her chastity has been meaningless, so she willingly offers her lips.

In a daze… she strangely feels a sense of retaliation! Huoshao Ting ends the kiss.

His pride as a man doesn't allow him to continue, he releases Wen Man and adjusts his disheveled shirt. Looking at her confused expression, he says lightly, "Teacher Wen, you are already so injured, calm down please!"

Wen Man is completely awake, feeling embarrassed and ashamed!

Huoshao Ting doesn't let her feel more embarrassed, he takes out a cigarette and plays with it between his fingers.

After a while, he suddenly speaks, "You must be curious, given Gu Changqing's character, why didn't I stop Mingzhu from getting engaged to him!"

Wen Man waits for Huoshao Ting to continue.

Huoshao Ting breaks the cigarette, slightly annoyed, "Half a year ago, Mingzhu attempted suicide by cutting her wrists to be with Gu Changqing."

Wen Man is stunned, she never knew.

Meeting Huoshao Ting's eyes again, her voice trembling: "Lawyer Huo, now I understand! I promise not to provoke Miss Huo… consider it my gratitude to you."

Huoshao Ting: … he's quite speechless!

It was clearly an explanation, but Wen Man could misinterpret it like that, but knowing Huoshao Ting's temperament, he probably won't say more. He just looks at her deeply, "How did someone so foolish become a teacher? No wonder she was deceived by men!"

After saying that, he leaves on his own. Wen Man is left in a daze.

She takes out her phone intending to transfer a few thousand from her bank card to her Wechat, but when she looks at her phone, she's stunned. Not only did Huoshao Ting not take her 18,000 yuan, he also transferred another 100,000 yuan to her.

Looking at the three words "Huoshao Ting" in the chat history, Wen Man feels an indescribable feeling. Apart from Mingzhu who caught in the middle, Huoshao Ting hasn't treated her badly, although he was sometimes sharp-tongued.

After considering for a moment, she sends a WeChat message.

[Huo Lawyer, thank you.]

Huoshao Ting had just sat in the car when he received Wen Man's WeChat, seeing that she hadn't accepted the transfer. He thinks for a moment and sends her several WeChat messages in a row.

[Thank me for what? Thank me for kissing you?]

[If it's because of the 100,000 yuan, Teacher Wen, if you feel bad, you can accompany me for ten rounds of golf.]

[If not, come to my place and stay up all night studying cases with me?]

Wen Man receives the WeChat messages.

Her face feels hot, she wouldn't be naive enough to take it literally. She can't believe Huoshao Ting can be so indirect!

Wen Man decides to transfer all 22,600 yuan to him, but then she receives another WeChat message from him.

[Keep it! Consider it my apology to Mingzhu through you.]

Wen Man silently looks at this WeChat message for a long time… Suddenly, she feels a bit envious of Mingzhu.
