Nie Shao's runaway ex-wife

"cheers!"

The wine glasses collided lightly, and the bright red liquid swayed, exuding a lustrous and beautiful light under the warm candlelight.

Sheng Manru took a sip of the red wine, feeling the mellow and sweet taste of the cellar.

"Good wine." She was quite amazed, and asked, "It must have been cellared for at least ten years."

"In the last century, in the 70s, it was a special tribute aged wine in the royal wine cellar of country X." Huo Yan explained slowly. "Earl Arthur was once my patient, and this is one of the gifts he gave me."

Sheng Manru nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.

Huo Yan often attends international academic conferences. Every time he goes to a country, many dignitaries and nobles will seek medical advice.He has cured countless high-ranking officials and rich people, and the high-ranking official from Country Y is one of them.

At that time, when Nie Canghao was dealing with Edwin and Blake's two great teachers/fathers in Country Y, Huo Yan was one of his trump cards.

Huo Yan has already reached an agreement with a high-ranking official of country y, and when Black wins, he will appear in the official name to put pressure on Black.

Black and his son were busy dealing with the authorities, and they would not be able to spare their troops and energy to deal with Nie Canghao for a while.

Nie Canghao made that plan mainly to prevent the revenge of Black's son Miles, so as to help him escape smoothly.

However, the whole plan was shelved later because of Jerry's ascension.

But it also fully proved the strength of Huo Yan's network: at critical moments, even Nie Canghao had to use his international official network to push forward the action plan.

Sheng Manru clinked glasses with Huo Yan again, and she drank up the glass without knowing it.

Huo Yan picked up the decanter and poured red wine for Sheng Manru and his own cup again.

Sheng Manru's cheeks were dyed a rouge-like blush, and he said angrily, "This wine is delicious, but it has a lot of stamina."

"Drink slowly. Anyway, I'm at home, and I'll go to bed when I'm drunk." Huo Yan raised his glass again.

Sheng Manru waved his hands and said, "I have to take it easy."

She can't get drunk.

In the past, she could safely get drunk in front of Huo Yan, but now it's different.

Huo Yan would never force her, so he put down his wine glass upon hearing this. "Taste my cooking."

Sheng Manru cut a piece of foie gras, tasted it slowly, and couldn't help being amazed: "It tastes so beautiful, and it takes a lot of time and energy to buy high-quality raw materials. You must have put a lot of thought into it."

"After eating in the canteen at the hospital at noon, I went to the best fresh supermarket to buy fresh ingredients that were just airlifted in, and then came back to prepare dinner." Huo Yan told her: "I want to make a delicious meal by myself. You apologize."

Sheng Manru stopped chewing when he heard the words, and was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to express your apology to me?"

"I'm the one who got you into trouble." Huo Yan sincerely apologized to her: "It was originally my personal problem, but now it has become two people's troubles. If you didn't choose me at the beginning, you don't have to bear all this with me now."

Sheng Manru was silent, and after a long time he said reluctantly, "You don't have to think so much."

If she didn't find the recording of last night today, maybe she would believe that he sincerely apologized to herself.

But now she only felt that the man in front of her was unfathomable.

His appearance was always benign and harmless, but she knew it was just a disguise.

Beneath the gentle and elegant skin, there is a ferociousness that makes it impossible to look directly at.

"I don't want to make myself like Lin Daiyu, worrying about gains and losses all the time, but your behavior makes me feel insecure." Huo Yan finally confided his troubles.

Sheng Manru was startled, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at him.

Huo Yan's gentle and handsome eyes revealed a sad sadness, as if she had done something that hurt him extremely.

"Did I do anything to hurt you?" Sheng Manru could only ask.

Seeing that it was almost done, Huo Yan grabbed her slender hand across the dining table and expressed his grievance:

"Why didn't you tell me that you wanted your aunt to go abroad for treatment? Instead, you went far and wide to find An Ran. Actually, the hospital in country X that An Ran arranged for your aunt was not the best hospital there."

"If you tell me about this, I will immediately contact Earl Arthur. He can definitely arrange for my aunt to enter the best royal exclusive hospital in country X."

Sheng Manru was startled, and instinctively broke away from his big hand.

She stepped back subconsciously and looked at him in horror: "You, how do you know about this? You follow me!"

terrible!She had an ominous feeling—she couldn't hide anything from him!

"I didn't follow you." Huo Yan was stung by the fear in the woman's eyes, and his tone was a little bit aggrieved: "It's just that when I called you, I found out that An Ran didn't tell you that Xiaoyu's birthday is the day after tomorrow. I don't think it's right , I asked Young Master Nie to ask a few questions."

"Have An Ran told Young Master Nie?!" Sheng Manru felt a chill in his heart.

"How is it possible, you have no confidence in your girlfriend." Huo Yan shook his head lightly, and continued: "Young Master Nie just tested An Ran a few times, knowing that she was hiding something from him, he sent someone to investigate her whereabouts. I learned that she asked someone to help your mother arrange medical treatment abroad in the afternoon."

It turned out to be the case.

Sheng Manru breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt that it was very dangerous.

She was silent for a moment, and explained: "My mother has been worried about your physical condition, and I want to help her change the treatment environment. To distract her, maybe she won't care too much about whether you are fertile."

Huo Yan pursed his lips slightly, stared into her eyes, and said softly: "You can let me arrange which country or hospital you want my aunt to go to. I can say without exaggeration that Young Master Nie is in the international medical department. In fact, most of the contacts in the world rely on me. No matter which hospital my aunt goes to, I can find relevant and responsible acquaintances."

Sheng Manru's heart tightened.I don't know if she was oversensitive, but she could hear a faint threat from his words.

Is he threatening her?

"Why did you secretly transfer Auntie to another hospital without telling me?" Huo Yan's voice was still so gentle, but he pressed every word: "Manru, do you want to leave me secretly?"

Sheng Manru lowered his eyes, and exhausted all his self-control to not hold his hands.

Clenching a fist subconsciously is an instinctive action for self-defense. She couldn't let Huo Yan see that she was so wary of him.

Huo Yan didn't speak anymore, but his gentle and oppressive eyes kept locking her tightly, making it impossible for her to hide.

Sheng Manru thought for a long time, and finally slowly raised his head, his clear eyes looked at Huo Yan indifferently: "I haven't considered how we will go on in the future, but I don't want my mother to continue to get involved. After all, she is old. , and her health is not good. That's why I want her to go abroad to recuperate for a while."

"You're lying." Huo Yan looked at her deeply, accusing her gently but resolutely: "You want to break up with me, why don't you dare to say it? Manru, do I look so much like a rascal who makes it hard for you to get rid of?"

Under Huo Yan's sharp questioning, Sheng Manru was a little embarrassed.

She even doubted herself for a moment: Did she think too much?Or she imagined him too terrible!

yes!She couldn't accept his flaws, why didn't she just break up?

This is the normal reaction you should have.

But she could say that she was terrified by last night's recording, and terrified by Huo Yan's unknown side.Therefore, she dared not break up with him in person.

Sheng Manru bit her lip, and it took a long time to muster up her courage: "Huo Yan, I'm sorry! I..."

"You also asked Ji Qianxiang to help you hire Cheetah's top shadow fighter!" Huo Yan interrupted her, and then another thunder burst out: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Sheng Manru: "..."

Her pupils constricted slightly, and her fingertips trembled slightly, which showed that she was frightened.

Huo Yan stared at her tenderly and sadly, and asked, "Who do you hire bodyguards to deal with? What did I do wrong to make you guard me so much?"

Facing the man's aggrieved and sad question, Sheng Manru looked a little embarrassed and at the same time deeply afraid.

After a while, she could only choke out one sentence: "You... are following me!"

"I said I didn't follow you. Since I ate in the canteen at the hospital at noon, I was busy buying ingredients and preparing candlelight dinners until 10 minutes before you came back." Even if Huo Yan was wronged, he still patiently defended himself , and did not improve the voice cavity by half.

Sheng Manru didn't believe him, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles: "Then how do you know that I went to Cheetah to hire a shadower? You also know that Ji Qianxiang helped..."

"When Young Master Nie investigated An Ran, he also investigated you by the way." Huo Yan spread his hands innocently, and said, "Cheetah was originally his base camp, how could the things that happened there be hidden from his eyes and ears."

If there is no special matter, that's all. Nie Canghao won't bother with trivial matters.But if it made him suspicious, if he gave a casual order, everything would be clear.

Sheng Manru bit her lips lightly, it was a sign of her nervousness.

"What are you worried about?" Huo Yan continued to ask her, but his tone was not aggressive, on the contrary he looked helpless and confused. "Are you afraid I'll hurt you? Why would I give you such a bad feeling? What did I do wrong?"

Sheng Manru felt that she couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and put her mobile phone into her bag. "I'm sorry, I think we need to separate for a while, and I need to reconsider whether our relationship should continue..."

"Manru, don't go!" Huo Yan subconsciously got up and held her slender wrist, and said:

"Will you talk to me for a while? If you insist on breaking up, I won't pester you with shameless face, but please give me a chance to break up decently. I don't want to think back to the time when our relationship ended in such a hurry. I don't want a A sloppy ending full of regrets."

Sheng Manru didn't want to stay any longer, she felt that staying any longer would be a torment and torture for her.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a mess right now, I'll talk to you after I've adjusted." She struggled hard, trying to pull her wrist away from Huo Yan's big hand.

Huo Yan was even more sad. He continued to ask her unwillingly: "What did I do wrong? Your attitude towards me now is like you are eager to get rid of a scoundrel...Manru, your attitude hurt me..."

"Bah!" While tugging, Sheng Manru's satchel fell to the ground, and a knuckle rolled out of it.

"Ding" The steel knuckle rolled a few times on the floor, making a heavy sound, proving its genuine weight.

The air seemed to freeze.

Under Sheng Manru's horrified gaze, Huo Yan slowly bent down his slender body, and gently picked up the knuckle.

He looked at the knuckles repeatedly, handed it to the woman, and asked in a dark tone: "Are you going to use this to deal with me?"
