She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Lan Yan was somewhat afraid of Qu You and left resentfully.

Shao Yan nestled in Huo Xiao's arms, still holding the violin in her hands.

Qu You wanted to go forward to check, but Cheng Qian grabbed her arm.

"Ms. Qu, I think we shouldn't disturb Attorney Huo and Mrs. Huo."

Qu You stared at the couple, just as Qin Mu arrived.

He knew it wouldn't be good the moment he saw Lan Yan.

Lan Yan wanted to talk to him, but he turned his back and ignored her.

He only came in after he saw Lan Yan get into the car and leave.

"let's go."

Qin Mu put his arm around Qu You's waist and advised her not to meddle in other people's business.

Qin Mu had known about the relationship between Huo Xiao and Shao Yan for a long time.

Perhaps he was the only one among the brothers who knew that Huo Xiao's love was not for Lan Yan at all.

Qu You nodded and left with Qin Mu.

Shao Yan was held in Huo Xiao's arms the whole time, like a lifeless doll.

Stubborn as she was, she was almost immune to tears, but this time, tears fell one by one, dripping onto Huo Xiao's hand and the broken violin.

The scalding tears stung Huo Xiao's heart. He picked her up and placed her on the sofa, then knelt on one knee in front of Shao Yan.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of fixing this instrument."

He assured her.

Huo Xiao knows some very capable people from all walks of life.

Lan Yan's fall wasn't too bad; the zither only cracked.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

Shao Yan turned to look at him blankly, and her previously dead heart slowly began to revive.

"real?"

Huo Xiao nodded and made his assurances repeatedly.

Shao Yan stared at him for a long time, her eyes reddening.

"The zither can be repaired, but feelings can't. Huo Xiao, you can only choose one between me and Lan Yan."

She said this to pressure Huo Xiao into making a decision.

However, Huo Xiao did not hesitate for even a moment.

"Of course I choose you. Yan Yan, we are husband and wife."

Shao Yan seemed to have just snapped out of her daze after he said the word "husband and wife".

Husband and wife, such a sacred word, yet now so ironic.

Shao Yan watched as Huo Xiao slowly moved the zither away from her hands.

"I'll have someone take the instrument to be repaired, and it will definitely be back in perfect condition within three days, okay?"

He said that gently touching his nose to hers was both a comfort and a vow.

Shao Yan thought of her mother's jade, which Huo Xiao had also had repaired.

At the time, the jade was shattered into pieces, some even reduced to fragments, but when he returned it to her, it was as clean and new as ever, with no trace of damage.

She could only trust him.

"it is good."

She said that, and then rested her head against his chest like a block of wood, her mind blank.

Shao Yan returned to the company in the afternoon.

She tried her best to control her emotions and make sure she wasn't affected by Lan Yan.

However, when she finished her work and opened Weibo on her phone to read the news, a trending topic instantly topped the list.

[Xu Xiao Law Firm Attorney Huo Xiao's alleged affair with his godmother has sparked rumors of pregnancy]

When Shao Yan saw it, her blood almost froze.

Even though she already knew about it, and even though Huo Xiao had explained it to her many times.

Lan Yan conceived her child using sperm he had stored in a sperm bank, but she still couldn't handle the shock brought by the news.

My heart was throbbing with pain in my chest.

At that moment, Meng Yu called again.

Shao Yan was in a daze and tried to hang up but accidentally answered the call.

"Shao Yan, did you see the news? This is Huo Xiao, the good man you abandoned me for. He did such a shameless thing with his godmother. Do you still think your choice was right?"

Meng Yu sent the message to Shao Yan the day before, thinking that she would call to question him, and he could take the opportunity to expose Huo Xiao's true colors. But Shao Yan didn't react at all.

He had no choice but to wait until the trending topic he bought completely overshadowed all the news and dominated all the media headlines before calling Shao Yan at the opportune moment.

This time, Shao Yan should finally believe it.

Shao Yan's voice was very calm.

"Is President Meng very free?"

"What?"

Meng Yu was stunned. In his mind, Shao Yan must have cried her heart out after seeing the news.

I remember back then, whenever there was the slightest thing between him and Pei Rongrong, she would question him.

And he would then ridicule them with great impatience.

He had considered all sorts of reactions Shao Yan might have, but this was the only one he hadn't anticipated.

"If Mr. Meng is really bored, he can have his subordinates develop new technological products, or he can personally go to the front line and discuss the next project plan with the employees."

We now have three projects underway simultaneously for the Fit, and Mr. Han is extremely busy every day. I also have to deal with project details reported by various departments.

Everyone at Fit, from the president to the employees, was so busy that they even had to squeeze in time to drink water. President Meng remarked that he had time to concern himself with other people's affairs.

Shao Yan's sharp retort left Meng Yu speechless.

"Does Attorney Huo have any connection with the Meng Group? Oh, I remember Attorney Huo is your girlfriend's uncle, Mr. Meng. Shouldn't you be calling your girlfriend right now? You must have the wrong number to call me."

Meng Yu held his phone, momentarily forgetting to reply.

"Mr. Meng, the products your company sent have not yet passed our technical department's testing. Whether they will pass is another matter. Please spend your time on the products and pay less attention to useless gossip."

Meng Yu held back for a long time before finally managing to utter a curse.

"Shao Yan, don't be ungrateful. I'm just reminding you of the kind of person you've chosen."

Looking at the past of Pei Rongrong that she had recently investigated on her desk, Shao Yan's lips curled up even more.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Meng. But I know my own husband. If something like this really happened, it's because my husband is so charming. It's Lan Yan's business if she wants to have his child."

No one can change the fact that I am Mrs. Huo, Mr. Meng, so please stop trying to be a petty person. I will not divorce my husband, so forget about it.

Shao Yan hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking.

Although she felt a tightness in her chest, she also vented her anger.

Meng Yu's actions were all meant to show Shao Yan that he regretted his actions and wanted to make amends. However, the wounds he had suffered, his contempt for her, and his disdain were things that could not be undoed by mere regret.

She no longer felt any romantic feelings for Meng Yu, and now she would feel inexplicably irritated whenever she saw his call.

Meng Yu stared at his phone, which had gone black, and in a fit of rage, smashed everything he could in the office.

This is the scene that Pei Rongrong saw when she came in carrying a stack of documents.

"Ayu, what's wrong?"

Meng Yu dared not tell the truth. He slumped into his seat and loosened his bow tie.

"It's nothing. The project team got a number wrong. If I hadn't discovered it in time, the loss could have exceeded 100 million."

Pei Rongrong said "Oh," put down her things, and then sat on his lap.

"Oh, I see. You've already discovered and resolved it, so what's there to be angry about?"

Looking at the messy office, Pei Rongrong felt that Meng Yu wasn't referring to this matter.

Meng Yu gently put his arm around her and asked a question as if it were casual.

"I saw that your uncle's story is trending on social media today."

Pei Rongrong pouted: "What's there to talk about? It's perfectly normal for Lan Yan to be pregnant with my uncle's child. I also wish my aunt was her and not that Shao Yan."
