Chapter 16: Ask her for a drink tonight

Ho Shao-ting declined several invitations and drove to the restaurant.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, when the restaurant was at its busiest, Wen Man sat by the piano and played.

Tonight she wore a charcoal-colored long dress, with a hint of her fragrant shoulders showing. Her tea-colored hair was long and silky, falling smoothly along her waist.

Very beautiful and romantic.

He Shao-ting looked through the glass for about ten minutes before getting out of the car and pushing the door to go inside.

He ordered some food without being particular about what it was, and simply leaned back, content to listen to Wen Man play the piano.

Huo Shaoting noticed that from time to time, respectable men would come up to chat her up, they must have been attracted to Wen Man too.

All of Wen Man's responses were polite refusals.

When taking a break in the middle, Wen Man received a business card.

Wen Man was taken aback. She turned her body and saw Huo Shaoting.

He sat in the corner, holding a glass of pre-dinner wine. Even his handsome looks and simple actions were full of grace.

Wen Man didn't want to deal with him, but she dared not offend him.

She still walked over.

"Mr. Huo."

Ho Shaoting lightly nodded, gesturing for her to sit down.

Wen Man had just sat down when Huo Shaoting noticed the new needle marks on her back. He guessed they were from last night's rain.

"Teacher Wen, have you eaten yet Let's eat together."

Ho Shaoting was earnest and serious, completely different from his previous boisterousness when he handed out the business cards.

Wen Man placed her business card on the table and said with a slight hesitation, "The restaurant has a rule that employees can't eat with guests during work hours."

Ho Shao-ting was too lazy to look at the business card.

He bluntly asked her, "What about after work Does Teacher Wen have time to come over for a drink"

He made his meaning quite clear.

Dating him will quickly get you out of your current predicament and you won't have to worry about money anymore.

It's just a game between men and women. Huo Shaoting thinks Wen Man followed Gu Changqing, so she shouldn't mind playing with others.

Even before the two previous embraces, Wen Man had felt something.

Wen Man didn't consider it at all.

She didn't know why Huo Shaoting suddenly came up with the idea and kept pestering her.

She was aware of her situation and chose her words carefully to avoid offending him: "Mr. Huo, thank you very much for helping with my father's affairs. I will find a way to repay your kindness in the future."

Ho Shao-ting was surprised.

He thought he understood what she meant: she wasn't willing to be with him.

Money can't buy Wen Man's affection!

Ho Shao-ting wasn't necessarily infatuated with Wen Man, but he found himself drawn to her when she played the piano. Plus, there was the typical male instinct – if you haven't truly possessed something, you tend to think about it occasionally.

Wen Man lightly said her thanks, her posture sinking as low as the dust.

Just as the atmosphere was getting awkward, Jiang Rui arrived with a teenage girl.

"Shaoting Ge!"

Jiang Rui called in a loving and affectionate manner, showing absolutely no signs of the rivalry and tension that typically exist between competing animals.

Huo Shaoting made a gesture, and Jiang Rui then sat down with his dog's courage. As soon as he sat down, he started to promote his younger sister to Wen Man: "My younger sister, Jiang Sheng, is a heavenly literary star, she just needs a reliable piano teacher! Wen Man, take her on!"

These words made Wen Man very embarrassed!

Jiang Rui's little thoughts didn't register with Huo Shaoting. He took out his wallet and pulled out around 2,000 yuan, pressing it on the table: "Teacher Wen has something to do, so I won't disturb you."

Wen Man politely escorted him to the restaurant entrance.

Huo Shaoting did not linger. He sat in the car, nodded at her, and left.
