His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

The stitches on Qiao Mian's forehead have been removed.

A faint scar can still be seen.

The doctor said it would take at least one or two months to completely remove the scars.

But she didn't care much.

The foundation provides slight coverage, making it almost invisible.

Beijing welcomed its first snowfall on Monday.

It was her first day officially starting work at the Huo family.

The Huo family lived far away, so she got up at six in the morning to make breakfast.

After dropping the children off at kindergarten around 7 a.m., I rushed to the subway station without stopping.

We arrived at the Huo family's residence at 8:40.

Looking up at the towering Huo Group building, Qiao Mian felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her heart, and she was depressed.

This wasn't her first time visiting the Huo family.

Previously, Huo Yanbei would often call her to deliver meals to the company.

He has a bad stomach and is picky about food; he only likes the food she cooks.

The two are siblings.

She frequently entered and exited the company, and no one questioned her actions.

Sometimes, Huo Yanbei would call her to the company simply to satisfy his physical needs.

Her phone was on call for him 24/7.

Whether it's day or night, she would rush to him whenever he called.

Looking back on these things now, I only feel that I lived a humble and ridiculous life.

She was merely his captive, a plaything he manipulated at will.

Yet she foolishly hoped to win his love...

Qiao Mian patted her cheeks vigorously, clearing her mind of distractions, and walked into the spacious and bright lobby to the front desk.

They explained that they were from Ronghua Law Firm.

The receptionist made an internal call to verify her identity before swiping her card and allowing her to pass through the gate.

"Attorney Qiao, please take the staff elevator to the 31st floor and report to Assistant Chen."

The receptionist pointed to the row of elevators on the left in front of them as a reminder.

"OK, thanks."

There are eight elevators on the first floor.

This is right in the middle of the morning rush hour.

There were many employees standing at each elevator door.

Just then, someone called out softly, "It's President Huo!"

Instantly, these people, like bees swarming in a hive, rushed towards the president's private elevator.

Qiao Mian was originally standing in the last row.

Suddenly, all of them turned around.

One by one, they crowded around like they were at a market, and Qiao Mian was jostled so badly that she stumbled back a few steps.

She was only able to stand steadily when a large hand gripped her waist and helped her regain her balance.

"Thanks."

She thanked him quietly.

Be more careful next time.

A clear, cold male voice came from above.

Immediately afterwards, I smelled a familiar, faint scent of herbs and trees.

Qiao Mian's back stiffened slightly.

She reacted quickly, pushing away the hand on her waist and turning around. What came into view was a cold and aloof face.

Huo Yanbei was wearing an expensive blue-black cashmere coat.

Inside was a well-tailored black three-piece suit.

His face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Aloof and elegant, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns.

At this moment, however, he was standing right next to her.

Their eyes met.

The man's eyes were dark and deep, like an ancient abyss.

His palms were slightly curled.

It was as if I could still feel the woman's body temperature.

Her waist was so slender it seemed as if it could be easily crushed.

She had a faint, sweet scent that reminded him of the feeling of holding Ah Wu in his arms before.

Qiao Mian's eyes revealed only unconcealed panic and tension.

Good morning, Mr. Huo!

I heard my colleagues greeting me respectfully from behind.

Qiao Mian snapped out of her daze, hurriedly took two steps back, bowed in a mock-obsessed manner, and whispered, "Good morning, President Huo..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a light, melodious female voice rang out from not far away, "Yan Bei!"

Qiao Mian looked in the direction of the sound.

But when he saw who it was, his blood froze.

It's Song Man.

She wore a light camel-colored top-quality mink coat, the belt accentuating her tall, slender figure, making her appear delicate and graceful.

Her large, slightly wavy hair flowed freely, her makeup was exquisite, and her dignified and elegant appearance made her exceptionally radiant with every glance and expression.

He was pulling a suitcase, so he must have just come back from the airport.

She walked up to Huo Yanbei and naturally and affectionately took his arm: "I came to the company to see you as soon as I got off the plane, aren't you surprised?"

Huo Yanbei reached out and took the suitcase from her hand, his tone gentle: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have picked you up at the airport."

Song Man smiled shyly and said, "You're so busy with work, I don't want you to be distracted by me."

"It's alright."

The two chatted as they entered the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Song Manbing's icy gaze fell upon Qiao Mian.

Just now, she saw Huo Yanbei help that woman up.

Although I couldn't see her face clearly, the woman had a slender and shapely figure.

It's particularly eye-catching.

She really disliked it.

……

"Wow! Mr. Huo's appearance is absolutely stunning! I'd die happy if he just smiled at me!"

"Stop dreaming, didn't you see Mr. Huo's wife is here?"

"Wife? When did Mr. Huo get married?"

"Don't you surf the internet? Not only is President Huo secretly married, but his child is already old enough to run errands. The woman who was just walking into the elevator with President Huo was his wife, Song Man."

"OMG! The famous pianist Song Man? My goddess from my school days!!"

"Childhood sweethearts have finally tied the knot! They're such a perfect match!"

Inside the elevator, the cramped space was filled with the chatter of colleagues.

Qiao Mian stood in the corner with minimal presence, and amidst all the gossip, she only heard one key point.

Huo Yanbei has a child...

Her fair fingers gripped the bag tightly, tightening their grip little by little.

Suddenly it loosened up again.

It's normal for him to be married and have children.

He seems to really like children.

Six years ago, he suggested that she have a child for him...

She was only twenty years old at the time.

I feel confused and fearful about becoming a mother.

But she agreed.

Simply because he wanted it.

During that period, he no longer used protection when he had sex with her.

They even accurately calculated her ovulation period and had the doctor prescribe ovulation-inducing drugs for her.

Looking back now, she must have gotten pregnant around that time.

However, she was too young to notice at the time.

Perhaps the reason she gave birth to triplets was because she took ovulation-inducing drugs...

For the past six years, she often fantasized about how Huo Yanbei would react if he knew that she had given birth to triplets for him.

But at this moment, she felt that the fantasy was foolish.

He got married and had children.

And her child was an illegitimate child...

Therefore, she would never let him know that her three children were his biological offspring!

Thinking of all this, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and stepped out of the elevator.

They arrived at the secretariat with practiced ease.

The door was open, and she knocked.

Chen Ke was on the phone and gestured for her to wait a moment.

Qiao Mian nodded.

After waiting for two or three minutes, Chen Ke came out and led her through the office area to the legal department.

Before going in, Qiao Mian suddenly turned around and looked at the half-open office opposite.

I was taken aback when I saw the words "President's Office" in gold lettering on the door.

That office was the one Huo Yanbei used when he first joined the Huo family six years ago.

But now it's been converted into the CEO's office...

From her vantage point, she had a clear view of the entire office.

Song Man stood with her back to the door, leaning against the desk, bending over, and placing her hands on Huo Yanbei's shoulders.

The two are kissing...
