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

When Qiao Mian heard Song Man knocking on the door, her face turned pale with fright.

She was terrified, like a mistress about to be caught in the act of adultery.

"What...what should we do?"

She mumbled incoherently to herself.

My legs felt incredibly weak.

She stumbled back several steps until she bumped into Huo Yanbei's thick, solid chest. She quickly turned around, grabbed his arm in a panic, her voice trembling slightly, "Your wife is here. If...if she finds out about us...she'll misunderstand..."

She was so terrified that she started to stutter.

Six years ago, the scenes of how Song Man humiliated and beat her behind her back kept flashing through her mind.

At that time, after Song Man learned about her relationship with Huo Yanbei, she did not go to Huo Yanbei to cry and make a scene.

But he vented all his anger on her alone.

In private, he would often beat and verbally abuse her.

Say whatever hurtful things to her, beat her however you can to make her hurt.

The most serious incident occurred one night when Song Man hired three men to ambush her on her way home and attempted to rape her.

Fortunately, she escaped.

Finally, they called the police.

After the three men were arrested, they were bribed.

He insisted that he was drunk and couldn't remember anything.

He vehemently denied harassing or molesting her.

Given her one-sided account and lack of any evidence, the three people were detained for a few days before being released by the police.

At the time, she dealt with this matter alone.

Huo Yanbei was unaware of this, as he was away on a business trip at the time.

However, she knew that Song Man was the mastermind behind this.

However, she had no evidence, and even if she told Huo Yanbei, he wouldn't believe her.

Just when she thought the matter was over, she saw a news report.

The three men were arrested for theft, gambling, and human trafficking, and were sentenced to six years in prison.

It was only after this incident that Song Man began to restrain herself from her misdeeds...

In high school, she was still Qin Wu, and Song Man instigated her classmates to bully her.

During her university years, as Huo Wu, Song Man regarded her as a thorn in her side because of her relationship with Huo Yanbei.

I wish I could kill her!

And now, six years later—

The psychological shadow that Qiao Mian had accumulated for many years was magnified infinitely in an instant.

She was shaking all over.

I'm afraid of falling into a situation where I'm humiliated and insulted without being able to defend myself, just like before.

In contrast, Huo Yanbei showed no sign of panic, remaining calm as if the person knocking on the door wasn't his wife.

"What's the panic?"

When the man saw that she was so frightened that all the color had drained from her face and that a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her forehead, he gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

As he walked towards the door, Qiao Mian grabbed his arm. "What are you doing?"

The man raised his sharply defined jawline slightly towards the door, his voice so calm it betrayed no emotion, "Open the door."

"you……"

Qiao Mian glanced at the bathrobe he was wearing, then looked down at her own disheveled appearance, and panicked, unable to utter a word.

Anyone who came in and saw the two of them like this would misunderstand that there was something going on between them.

"Mr. Huo, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood? I'm scared..."

She opened her arms and stopped him from speaking.

The man glanced at the bag of clothes lying on the ground: "Change into these."

"..."

Qiao Mian was stunned.

At this critical juncture, he actually had the mind to let her change her clothes?

However, she didn't have time to think about it, grabbed the bag on the ground, and ran into the bathroom.

At the same time, Huo Yanbei opened the door.

Song Man walked in with a bright smile.

He was carrying a lunchbox.

After entering, he quickly scanned the room and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that there were no women in the room.

"Yanbei, Achen said he ran into you here last night and that you drank too much, so I made some hangover soup this morning and also brought some breakfast."

As he spoke, he placed the hangover soup and breakfast on the table one by one.

She exudes the air of a gentle and virtuous wife.

Huo Yanbei's face remained expressionless as he walked over, sat down, picked up his bowl, and took a sip of soup. "Next time, you don't need to make such a long trip."

Song Man's sharp gaze lingered on the man's neck and collarbone.

Seeing that there were no signs of intimacy on him, the anxiety that had been building up finally subsided.

Last night, Song Chen first called her, implying that Huo Yanbei had a woman outside.

Then, another location was sent.

She didn't sleep all night, waiting until dawn before finally arriving under the pretense of delivering a lovingly prepared breakfast...

However, ever since she entered the room, Huo Yanbei had remained calm and indifferent, making it difficult for her to understand his emotions.

"You drank so much, did you sleep well last night?"

As Song Man asked the question, she glanced into the bedroom inside.

I took a closer look at the bed.

The bed was slightly messy, but there were no other ambiguous traces.

There were no women's underwear or anything like that either.

After looking away, she placed a bag of clothes on the table. "I brought you a change of clothes."

"Um."

Huo Yanbei ate only a few bites before getting up, picking up the bag, and heading to the bathroom.

When the bathroom door opened, Qiao Mian was startled.

They thought it was Song Man rushing in to "catch them in the act".

However, she was stunned when she saw Huo Yanbei come in.

Because she was changing clothes, and the zipper was on her back, she couldn't reach it.

At that moment, Huo Yanbei suddenly entered, and she was so startled that she forgot to zip up her zipper.

Unbeknownst to her, with her back to the mirror, Huo Yanbei had already seen her entire bare back.

She is very thin.

She has a slender back and delicate skin that is fair and radiant.

The dress is fitted at the waist, which accentuates a woman's most graceful curves.

Her thin, beautiful back, like a butterfly about to take flight, meanders down to her waist.

Because of her excessively slender waist, her hips appeared even more perky and full.

Huo Yanbei's dark eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

His entire body was burning hot.

In Qiao Mian's panicked gaze, he took off his bathrobe.

She revealed a stunningly beautiful figure with sharp lines and well-defined muscles.

Because of his regular workouts, his eight-pack abs are particularly prominent.

Unlike six years ago, his skin was clean and slender.

Now, every muscle on his body exudes the masculine energy of a mature man, radiating a strong aura of sensuality.

Although she was wearing pants and only her upper body was exposed, Qiao Mian was still so frightened that she almost screamed.

"What are you doing...?"

She glanced nervously towards the door and asked in a low voice.

The man took a shirt out of the bag and threw it into her arms, speaking in a commanding tone as if ordering a servant, "Help me get dressed."

"..."

Qiao Mian was stunned.

He thought he'd misheard. His wife was right outside, and he actually asked her to help him get dressed?

Qiao Mian shook her head violently.

His face was etched with rejection.

At this moment, he is exactly the same person he was six years ago.

After a night of passion in her room, he would ask her to help him get dressed the next morning after showering.
