After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Tan Man nodded, suddenly remembered Xiaoqing's case, and said: "By the way, I heard from Xiaoqing's father that the case has started to go through normal procedures, and you have always cared about it. Thank you so much."

"Don't say that, this is my job, besides, Gu Mochen chased me every day, how dare I slack off in the slightest."

Tan Man froze for a moment. She heard from Li Zhu last week that the legal aid had been accepted, and she was still glad that things went so smoothly. She didn't expect that Gu Mochen had put a lot of effort behind it.

"Hehe, no matter what, I have to thank you." Tan Man chuckled, watching the wife behind him glance at him from time to time, and immediately said, "Lawyer Chen, hurry back, don't keep your friend waiting for a long time." See you later."

The other party nodded goodbye.

Qiao Sen had seen her greet her friends a long time ago, and when she came back, he handed her a piece of chocolate: "Do you want to eat?!"

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and took it.

"Friend?" he asked.

Tan Man glanced at Chen Rui's group in the distance, and explained: "Well, a girl was molested at school, and her parents hired a lawyer."

Qiao Sen nodded: "Recently, you know a lot of lawyers!"

She glanced at him, and while unpacking the chocolate, she admitted with a sigh: "Well, he is indeed Lawyer Gu's friend."

Qiao Sen saw that she had torn it several times, but couldn't tear open the package, so he took it casually, and with a light tug, he tore a hole and returned it to her, looking at her with a doting smile, "I have nothing else to do." mean."

"Did you drink the soy milk your mother cooked?"

Qiao Sen didn't quite understand her words: "Drink it, how do you know that my mother made soy milk?"

Manman pursed her lips and smiled: "Why didn't you get tricked!"

Qiao Sen suddenly realized, no wonder Qiao Ning hadn't come back for a long time.

……

Gu Mochen came back from his morning run, had just taken a shower, and before he had time to get dressed, he heard a series of wechat message alerts on the bedside table. He wrapped a towel around his lower body and walked out of the bathroom.

He wiped his wet hair with a towel in one hand, and bent over to pick up his phone with the other. He just swiped open the screen to see the content, and the hand that was wiping his hair stopped in the air.

On the screen, Tan Man was chatting with a man with a smile on his face. Even though the shooting distance was a bit far, and the person was zoomed in and blurred, he recognized at a glance that the man was the doctor who had dinner with her in Four Seasons that day. Call, Johnson.

A few pages later, there was a man unpacking food for her graciously, two people sat on the stone bench intimately and smiled at each other, and the man next to her lowered her head and looked at her intently...

Gu Mochen stood there for a few seconds, then subconsciously pressed Chen Rui's phone and dialed it.

"Where are you?"

As soon as Chen Rui heard Gu Mochen's abnormally calm tone, he successfully gestured to the people around him: "I'm in Shanghai."

"Why send me those photos."

"No, I just want to ask you, did I admit the wrong person, it should be the Miss Tan you know?!" Chen Rui suppressed a smile.

"It seems that Lawyer Chen has enough energy, why don't I take more cases for you?!"

"Hey, I'm not talking about you. You are also a man in your thirties. Don't only know about work all day long. A man who understands fun is more attractive than a man who only knows how to make money. Learn from others and peel off from time to time. Chocolate, some water, some flowers.”

When Gu Mochen heard his words, the picture in the photo just now came to mind. It was the first time he saw Tan Man with her hair tied on top of her head. It was refreshing and beautiful, like a budding flower. exposed to the eyes of others.

"Nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Hey, we're in Sheshan. Do you want to have lunch together? You know my wife and some of my colleagues."

Gu Mochen chuckled, and refused: "Forget it, I'm boring, I only know how to work, so don't spoil your interest."

"You really don't listen to the old man's words!"

"Have fun, hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Mochen threw the phone on the bed, continued to wipe his hair as if nothing had happened, wiped it a few times, then threw the towel aside irritably, and walked out.

……

After going down the mountain, the car actually drove towards a community, and Tan Man immediately became suspicious.

"Didn't you say to eat hot pot?"

"Yeah, go to our house to eat hot pot. When my mother heard that a friend was coming, she went to buy hot pot ingredients early in the morning." Qiao Ning's eyebrows were bent into a moon, and she looked at Tan Man who was tricked and said with a smile, "It's all here Now, don't hold back."

"Tell me anyway, I'm not prepared for anything, it's not good to be empty-handed."

"I don't need anything, as long as someone comes, it's better than any gift. My mother has been looking forward to her daughter-in-law for a long time." Qiao Ning winked at Qiao Sen who was driving the car, "Right, brother!"

"What are you talking about?" Tan Man patted Qiao Ning's thigh, turned her head in embarrassment, and ignored Qiao Sen's gaze from the rearview mirror, "How about next time, I am treating you for lunch today, what do you want to eat? Your choice."

"Why are you running away? A guilty conscience means there is a ghost. If there is nothing, just come to our house as a friend."

After the car stabilized in the underground parking lot, Qiao Ning pulled Man Man and was about to go to the elevator room when Qiao Sen stopped him.

"Qiao Ning, you go to the supermarket to buy a fruit basket." Qiao Ning was stunned for a moment, then she understood that her brother was afraid that Tan Man would feel rude, even if they insisted that they didn't need anything, Tan Man still didn't seem to care. too natural.

"That Manman will go with me."

"You go by yourself, I have something to say to Manman, we will wait for you in the hall later." Qiao Sen said firmly, Qiao Ning could only leave resentfully.

Tan Man was a little taken aback, she didn't know what Qiao Sen was going to tell her.

Seeing Qiao Ning walking away, Qiao Sen turned his head, remained silent for a few seconds, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Sorry, I brought you here without your prior consent."

She heard the helplessness in his tone, there must be a reason, otherwise, Qiao Sen, who has always been sensible, would not be so hasty.

Tan Man twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, I'm just visiting a friend's house, besides, you asked Qiao Ning to buy me a fruit basket."

Qiao Sen didn't change his face, he stared straight at her. This look made her have nowhere to escape. What Qiao Sen was going to say next probably made her rack her brains and didn't know how to respond.

"I like you, Qiao Ning told my mother a long time ago." Qiao Sen said calmly, but the slight nerves on his face still revealed his nervousness, "After a while, my mother may not just tell you You treat me as our friend, and she yelled at me many times, asking me to take you home for dinner. Before, I kept finding reasons to perfuse her, but recently, I couldn’t convince myself anymore, and I couldn’t stand still anymore, because , I am afraid that if you continue to indulge you to escape, you will really escape."

I don't know why, since I got to know Gu Mochen, when I face Qiao Sen alone, Gu Mochen's sharp face will appear in my mind inexplicably, as if I was watching him, maybe, this is actually not at all It is her own heart, sent to supervise her.

"Qiao Sen, when it comes to feelings, I can't lie to myself. I didn't escape. I just think that I can't give you what you want. You should like someone better than me, but you are stubborn and refuse to leave. Then I'm the only one who stays away from you."

"A while ago, didn't you almost fall in love? Didn't you say to consider it? You should at least give each other a chance to try to associate with me. It's not too late to make a judgment."

She is very clear that the feelings that come from begging will always make the one who gives tremble. Love is a game of mutual consent. Without the strength of any one of them, it will be a table without a foot, which will be crumbling until it collapses. .

"Oh, mom, come on, let me help you!" At this moment, Qiao Ning's voice came from outside the hall, and the next second, a middle-aged woman pushed the door in, and Qiao Ning, who was following her, twisted her face and looked at The two of them winked, and the sound just now was to prepare them in advance.

"Mom?!" Johnson frowned.

Tan Man froze in place, not knowing what to do for a while, so she could only say hello: "Hello, Auntie!"

Qiao's mother looked happy, looked her up and down for a few seconds, and then enthusiastically greeted her: "You are Manman, right?! You are even more beautiful than what Qiao Ning said, and you can see that she is a sensible girl. Why don't you go up there? Ah, what are you doing standing here?!"

Tan Man was a little embarrassed, Qiao Ning came out from behind and took her hand: "Let's go!"

The conversation with Qiao Sen ended without a problem. During the meal, both of them were absent-minded, but they still had to pretend to be peaceful.

"Manman, I heard from Qiao Ning that you are from Suzhou."

It was Joe's father who was talking, the parents of the Qiao family. They were much more amiable than expected, and they didn't put on airs at all.

Tan Man once heard from Qiao Ning that their family is from a medical family. Qiao's father is a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular expert, but he has been retired for several years. Her mother is a midwife in obstetrics and gynecology, and her father also retired at about the same time.

"Yes!"

"Since ancient times, there have been beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. They are really beautiful."

Tan Man smiled shyly.

"Suzhou is good. It's not far from Shanghai. You can go home often." Qiao's mother said.

"Yes, my father is the only one at home, and I do go back often."

The two sitting on top looked at each other, and Mother Qiao said, "In the future, you will often come to our place for dinner. You are a girl whose family is in Shanghai. It is rare to have a home-cooked meal on weekdays."

She responded generously, "Thank you, Auntie."

Qiao Sen looked at Tan Man who was sitting across from her. She was generous, well-behaved and charming. The desire to own her became stronger and stronger, but now she deliberately avoided even looking at her.

After dinner, when no one was paying attention, Tan Man secretly gave Qiao Ning a wink. Qiao Ning was naturally enlightened, and said to everyone: "You guys drink tea first, and I will show Man Man a tour of my room."
