My Mysterious Doctor and Blessed Little Wife Is Such a Tease Chapter 1041 Advise?

Chapter 1041 Advise?

Lone Wolf stepped out of the private room, finding solace in the smoking area. He lit a cigarette, lost in the dance of smoke. His relations.h.i.+p with Dong Xiaoxuan had progressed, yet he sensed her keeping a cautious distance. The question of 'why' lingered unanswered in his mind.

As he stood there, thoughts adrift, a cool voice interrupted his reverie, "Excuse me, sir, may I borrow a light?"

Turning, he saw a striking woman in her mid-20s. Clad in a wine-red gown, her long wavy hair flowed down her back, and her high heels accentuated her confident stance. She wore no jewelry, yet her presence exuded an air of sophistication and strength – the hallmark of a powerful businesswoman.

He gave her an appreciative glance and silently handed her a box of matches.

She accepted it with a hint of surprise, her skilled fingers bringing the cigarette to life. In the swirls of smoke, her features played a game of hide and seek, adding to her allure.

Returning the matchbox with a thanks, she casually asked, "Heartbroken, are you?"

Lone Wolf managed a wry smile, "Can't be heartbroken if there was no romance to begin with."

"The look in your eyes tells a different story," she observed.

'Story? Maybe,' he thought.

They smoked in silence for a while. Then, mimicking her earlier remark, he said, "The way you handle your cigarette tells me you've got your own tales to tell."

She laughed, a sound like lilies blooming, beautiful and captivating. "Didn't expect you to have a sense of humor," she said, extending her hand. "I'm w.a.n.g Huan."

"Lone Wolf," he replied, acknowledging her with a nod but not taking her hand – a sign of respect, not disdain.

w.a.n.g Huan didn't seem offended as she withdrew her hand. "Men like you are rare these days."

She took another drag and offered, "Since you were kind enough to give me a light, need any advice?"

'Advice?'

Lone Wolf indeed felt the need for guidance. His usual confidants weren't suited for this dilemma, and here was w.a.n.g Huan, perhaps the perfect stranger to confide in.

He carefully phrased his question, "I sense she cares, but why does she pull away every time I get close?"

"Hmm…"

w.a.n.g Huan pondered, "Your story isn't straightforward. Women crave love, but if she's hot and cold, it's either you're a backup plan, or she's out of your league. But from your eyes, I sense she's not like that. There's another possibility…"

"What is it?" Lone Wolf asked.

"She might have her reasons for not being with you," she speculated. "Because of this, she loves you but can't be with you. You need to communicate. Without it, your blind devotion won't win her heart. It might even become a burden."

Lone Wolf's brow furrowed, his mind caught in a tangle of pain and confusion.
