Li Man stayed in the hospital for over a week, and Huo Jian Sheng took care of her every day.
Their feelings for each other quickly intensified.
Seeing that Huo Jian Sheng was there, Chen Shi was considerate and reduced his visits to the hospital.
It was not until the day Li Man was discharged that he went to pick her up.
After Li Man was discharged, Huo Jian Sheng had to go back. He anxiously reminded her, "Take good care of yourself."
Li Man replied, "Don't worry, I'm not a child."
"I'm leaving now. Will you miss me?"
Li Man remained silent, smiling with pursed lips.
Huo Jian Sheng anxiously said, "Tell me, will you miss me?"
Seeing Huo Jian Sheng getting anxious, Li Man finally said, "Yes!"
Huo Jian Sheng said, "Then why don't you come back with me?"
They were in the midst of a passionate love affair, and he couldn't bear to leave Li Man.
Li Man shook her head and said, "No!"
"Why not? Don't you want to be with me?"
Li Man pouted and said, "You have your career, and I have my life. Why do we have to be together? Distance creates beauty, you know."
Alright!
Huo Jian Sheng respected Li Man's decision and no longer insisted. He couldn't help but embrace Li Man in his arms.
Li Man nestled in his embrace, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling his warm body temperature, inexplicably feeling at ease.
But for now, they were at most hugging and cuddling. If Huo Jian Sheng wanted to go further, Li Man wouldn't agree.
Until she finalized her divorce with Huang De Han, she wouldn't have any intimate contact with Huo Jian Sheng.
It wasn't because she still loved Huang De Han, but because she couldn't pass the test in her own heart.
...
While Li Man and Huo Jian Sheng were immersed in their sweet romance, Huang De Han and Yi Bing were embroiled in a dispute over a house.
The reason was that Yi Bing was pregnant.
Upon learning of Yi Bing's pregnancy, Huang De Han was quite happy, but Yi Bing frowned and was unhappy.
Huang De Han pulled her into his arms and asked softly, "Baby, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy about the pregnancy?"
Yi Bing pouted and unhappily said, "What's there to be happy about being pregnant? We don't have a house, we don't have a wedding, and you haven't registered with me. What does my pregnancy mean now? Will our child be born illegitimate? Huang De Han, when are you going back to get a divorce?"
Huang De Han quickly coaxed, "Registering is just a piece of paper. What does it matter? I'm yours, and so is my money. What are you afraid of?"
"Even if we don't register, we still need a house, right? Now that we have a child, we can't live without a home, can we? Are we going to let the child live in an inn with us? Without a house, it will even be a problem for him to go to school in the future."
Huang De Han comforted her, "Don't worry, once the inn collects some money, we can buy a house."
Upon hearing that she had to make a profit before being able to buy a house, Yi Bing became unhappy. "How long do I have to wait to make a profit? It's too slow! By then, I would have already had children. Besides, didn't you promise me that you would buy a house for me after the Chinese New Year? Why are you now telling me that we have to make a profit first? Which one of your words is true and which one is false? Or were you just deceiving me all along?"
Huang De Han felt guilty and said, "Well, I failed in my business. Just wait a little longer. The inn is doing well now, right? We'll be able to make a down payment after the Chinese New Year."
Yi Bing shouted angrily, "Do we have to pay for the house in installments? It's so embarrassing to say it out loud!"
Hearing this, Huang De Han became even more irritated and said impatiently, "What's so embarrassing about buying a house in installments? How many people in the whole country can afford to pay in full?"
