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

Seeing that their conversation had become somewhat tense, Pei Rongrong quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle, about you and Sister Lanyan—"

Huo Xiao cut Pei Rongrong off abruptly.

"There's nothing between me and Lan Yan. As for the child, I'll handle that; it's my business and has nothing to do with you or anyone else."

Pei Rongrong was met with a stubborn refusal, but she still wouldn't give up.

"I'm just worried that Miss Shao might mind."

Just then, Shao Yan brought out a plate of sliced ​​fruit. She had already heard it, but she still placed the fruit plate on the coffee table without making a sound.

"I don't mind."

Pei Rongrong opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"I'll go help you."

Huo Xiao put his arm around Shao Yan and they went into the kitchen.

Pei Rongrong gave Meng Yu a look that said, "I told you so."

Meng Yu gripped his hands tightly at his sides.

Before the kitchen door could be closed, he saw Huo Xiao eagerly embracing and kissing Shao Yan.

Pei Rongrong tugged at Meng Yu's sleeve, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"I told you Shao Yan was a tough character. Even Sister Lan Yan couldn't handle my uncle. Look at her."

The two of them looked inside at the same time.

The kitchen door was semi-transparent, and the outlines of the people inside were clearly visible.

Huo Xiao embraced Shao Yan from behind, gently resting his head on her shoulder, his lips teasing the back of her neck, his breath tickling her skin.

"Don't--"

Before Shao Yan could speak, Huo Xiao's voice suddenly turned deep, carrying a hint of hostility she had never sensed before.

"What, still have feelings for your ex-boyfriend?"

Shao Yan sensed the jealousy in his tone and felt both amused and exasperated.

"Huo—"

Before she could even utter the word "Xiao," her lips were captured in his.

Huo Xiao pinned her against the refrigerator and leaned down to kiss her passionately.

Their shadows pierced through the shadows, leaving Pei Rongrong speechless.

She tugged at Meng Yu's sleeve with all her might.

"My uncle and that woman—"

Her speech became somewhat incoherent.

Meng Yu glanced at it once, and his blood rushed to his brain instantly.

With two other people outside, Huo Xiao couldn't wait any longer and made his move on Shao Yan right there in the kitchen.

Next, are they going to perform R-rated acts inside?

Meng Yu suddenly stood up.

"Let's go."

Pei Rongrong stared blankly at the shadow cast on the frosted kitchen door.

"Aren't you going to finish your meal before you leave?"

Meng Yu scoffed, "Your uncle is doing this on purpose. He's trying to get rid of us. After what happened, how could he possibly cook for us?"

Huo Xiao was so impatient, as if he hadn't touched a woman in ages.

If they stayed any longer, they might end up in the kitchen— Pei Rongrong lowered her head and gently tugged at Meng Yu's sleeve.

They've been talking for so long, but Meng Yu hasn't touched her yet.

Pei Rongrong was actually getting a little anxious.

But considering her health, she had no choice but to put those thoughts aside.

"Let's go then."

Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong opened the door and left.

Huo Xiao kissed her in the kitchen until he could barely control himself before he let her go.

When the door was opened, there was no one in the living room.

Shao Yan exclaimed, "Huh? Where are your niece and—your niece's husband?"

Huo Xiao gently pinched Shao Yan's chin.

"Of course we're leaving. Otherwise, why would we stay and watch our performance?"

Shao Yan then realized that Huo Xiao had done it on purpose.

He deliberately flirted with her in the kitchen, even making noise so that people outside could hear.

Huo Xiao's hand gently caressed her slender, jade-like fingers, a gesture that seemed to caress her body, making anyone who saw it feel lustful and agitated.

"What else did you do besides cutting fruit?"

He pulled her into his arms and stopped teasing her.

"no."

They really want her to cook for them? No way!

She swore that she would never cook for Meng Yu again in her life.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Shao Yan's face flushed slightly: "Hungry—"

"Alright, go sit down, I'll do it."

Huo Xiao gently rolled up his sleeves, and the watch on his wrist gleamed with a cool light.

Shao Yan saw this and went over to help him take it off.

Huo Xiao suddenly kissed her lips, and Shao Yan blushed deeply.

"He's never serious," Huo Xiao joked.

"She is a perceptive and virtuous wife."

Shao Yan felt embarrassed by his praise: "I'll put the watch on your bedside table."

She quickly left the kitchen, afraid that Huo Xiao would start hitting her again, so she simply put down her watch and stayed in the living room.

The violin was still in its original place. Shao Yan couldn't help but glance at it a few times, and a warm feeling swirled in her heart.

When Huo Xiao came out, he had prepared a whole table of dishes.

It was also served with desserts and fruit.

Shao Yan glanced at the time; it had only been a little over forty minutes.

"Is this... pre-made food?"

Huo Xiao reached out and pushed up his glasses, a captivating smile curving his slightly upturned lips.

"Mrs. Huo, what do you mean?"

Shao Yan looked at him in disbelief.

"How could you possibly prepare such a large meal in forty minutes?"

Huo Xiao moved the chair out for her and served her a bowl of soup.

"There are two stoves in the kitchen. I prepared the soup two hours in advance. The dishes had already been processed when they arrived. It was five dishes and one soup, not much."

"If you manage your time well, you can even make ten dishes in forty minutes."

He spoke with a hint of nonchalance, as if it were a very simple matter.

It's simpler than dealing with the case files he has on hand.

Shao Yan sat down, and the delicious-looking dishes whetted her appetite.

As she ate, she thought to herself that if Huo Xiao lost his job, he could always become a chef. It seemed like nothing could stump him.

After dinner, Huo Xiao held her tenderly for a long time. Because she was pregnant, he didn't go too far. He did all the hard work, and Shao Yan only needed to enjoy herself.

Shao Yan was still a little tired afterward. She nestled in his arms and thought drowsily that the owner of the Fit was really good-natured. If an employee like her went to another place, she would probably have been fired long ago.

When I woke up the next day, the house had been cleaned up and was spotless.

With Sister Wei doing chores at the villa, Huo Xiao would sleep with her until it was almost time for work before getting up.

After the two moved out to live separately, he became very diligent and took on almost all the housework.

The house was also cleaned and tidy, and it didn't look like a place for a man to live at all.

Looking at the breakfast she had prepared, Shao Yan couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps no one would have thought that the lawyer Huo, who was rumored to be terrifying, would be such a good family man after marriage.

She stared at him for a while, and Huo Xiao gently lifted her chin.

"Does this mean you've fallen in love with me?"

Shao Yan turned her face away shyly; he was getting better and better at flirting.

"I'll be going to the Song Group this afternoon during their shareholders' meeting. Do you have time?"

Today she's going to find Song Qingyan. With Huo Xiao around, she's not afraid of anything.

Huo Xiao thoughtfully served her a bowl of porridge, along with a lovingly fried egg that he had prepared himself.

"Mrs. Huo's matter is of course the most important."
