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

Shao Yan felt that his words were more of a joke.

"Attorney Huo, even if I go bankrupt, you won't lose your job."

With his cooking skills alone, he wouldn't go hungry to the point where she would have to support him.

Huo Xiao was about to take Shao Yan out to eat when he heard her stomach growl.

Pregnant women are always prone to hunger, so Huo Xiao has filled the refrigerator at home to the brim. In the small apartment of more than 100 square meters, there are mostly snacks.

He also installed several snack cabinets so that Shao Yan could easily reach out and grab something whenever she wanted to eat.

While eating what he had prepared for her, Shao Yan asked casually.

"Did Lan Yan live here before?"

She was still resentful about Lan Yan's intrusion into the small apartment last time.

If Huo Xiao hadn't helped her repair her violin and accompanied her to the Song Group to bolster her courage, she probably wouldn't have stayed here with him any longer.

"Hmm? No."

Huo Xiao frowned, his rolled-up lip revealing a small section of his fair arm, his wristwatch gleaming with a cool and sophisticated luster.

"I bought this place with my own money after I graduated from university, and I've never brought her here to live. But she knows."

Lan Yan had always wanted a private space for the two of them, so after Huo Xiao moved in with her, they rented a place together.

She knew he still had a small apartment of 100 square meters, so she wanted to move in, but Huo Xiao refused.

Why?

Shao Yan blurted it out, then realized she had asked too deliberately, like a jealous wife.

Huo Xiao gave her a deep look, then presented the cut fruit to Shao Yan.

"Because this is the house I bought for my future wife. I hope we can have a home that truly belongs to us."

The apartment building wasn't large, and he named it Yanran Apartment.

It was to commemorate their unexpected encounter in their youth.

Huo Xiao never imagined that one day he and Shao Yan would actually move in and live a life as a couple.

Moreover, they now have children of their own.

Shao Yan lowered her head slightly: "Then, who is this mistress of the house?"

Huo Xiao was stunned by her question for a long time before finally chuckling.

Do you remember when you asked if we knew each other?

Shao Yan was still staring at him blankly, her expression rather cute.

Huo Xiao gently pinched her face; her skin was as soft and tender as a baby's, and it felt wonderful to touch.

"Let me tell you, we've known each other for a long time. You just didn't know me."

Shao Yan adorably wrinkled her small nose: "When, on what day, how did we meet?"

She had absolutely no recollection of it.

Huo Xiao kept her in suspense, tracing her lips back and forth with his fingertips for a while before finally letting go of his desire.

She's pregnant, so he'd better restrain himself from having too many thoughts, lest he harm her and the baby in her womb.

But under his teasing, the color in Shao Yan's eyes deepened.

After she got together with Huo Xiao, she found herself somewhat greedy for such things and found it hard to resist him.

Just then, the phone rang, temporarily separating the couple.

It's Shao Yan's phone.

She and Huo Xiao both glanced at the screen quickly at the same time. Shao Yan picked up her phone and unconsciously told Huo Xiao.

"It was lawyer Feng from the company who called."

Huo Xiao didn't say anything and left her side.

"The soup in the kitchen is ready, I'll go get it."

Shao Yan watched his retreating figure and then answered Feng Ying's call.

"Feed—"

"Mr. Shao, we haven't found the whereabouts of Song Qingyan and Cheng Yuxin's other child yet, but there's something you'll definitely be interested in."

Shao Yan, puzzled, asked casually.

"What is it?"

"Zeng Qier has a five-year-old son. If there are no surprises, the father of the child is Meng Yu."

Shao Yan's pupils contracted sharply, her expression showing disbelief.

Are you sure?

Abundance is very likely to be blocked.

"My friend works at a hospital, so the information he provided is pretty much accurate."

Shao Yan was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, I understand."

Meng Yu and Zeng Qier have a five-year-old son, which means they had a child three years before he fell into a coma.

She remembered that Zeng Qier had already gone abroad at that time. She heard that the two had a conflict, and later Meng Yu was in a car accident and was in a coma for three years.

It was during these three years that she married Meng Yu in a daze and devoted herself to building the Meng Group to where it is today.

Oh--

Shao Yan felt a chill run through her entire body.

Huo Xiao noticed the change in her expression, walked behind her and hugged her, and found that she was trembling all over.

"What's wrong? I just got a call. What did your lawyer say?"

Shao Yan originally wanted to tell Huo Xiao about Meng Yu, but when she thought of Pei Rongrong, she paused and tentatively approached him.

"Is your family really going to let Pei Rongrong marry Meng Yu?"

Huo Xiao's body stiffened noticeably when she mentioned Meng Yu.

"Why are you bringing him up again? What are you thinking, Mrs. Huo? We already have a child. It's impossible for you to get back together with Meng Yu."

He will kill them.

Shao Yan was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Huo Xiao's jealous words.

"There's something I want to tell you, but I'm not trying to sow discord. Besides, I just learned about it, and its veracity needs to be verified."

Seeing how serious she was, Huo Xiao's interest was piqued, and he showed obvious interest in her eyes.

"Oh, what's so serious? Tell me about it."

Looking into Huo Xiao's eyes, Shao Yan said very seriously, "Meng Yu has a five-year-old son with his ex-girlfriend."

Huo Xiao remained calm, with little emotion on his face.

"Hmm, and then?"

It was Shao Yan who was surprised.

"Aren't you going to stand up for Pei Rongrong?"

Huo Xiao chuckled softly; his voice was so beautiful it could make your ears pregnant.

"Why? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Don't interfere in other people's fates, otherwise you'll have to bear their consequences'?"

Huo Xiao reached out and gently brushed Shao Yan's nose: "I already knew about this. But don't you think it's inappropriate for me to say it?"

Shao Yan thought about it and realized it was true.

If Huo Xiao were to reveal this matter, Pei Rongrong would blame him, as it's already obvious that she dislikes Shao Yan.

She might even think that Huo Xiao was deliberately retaliating against her niece.

"Let other people's relationships develop freely on their own. What choices they make or what happens is their own fate, and it has nothing to do with us."

Huo Xiao's words deeply moved Shao Yan.

Without making a sound, he wrapped his arms around Shao Yan's body and began to kiss her neck restlessly.

"Or is it that Mrs. Huo knew her ex-boyfriend had a child, and she felt unbalanced and jealous?"

Shao Yan looked at him with some annoyance: "Yes, I am jealous. If I'm going to be jealous, shouldn't I be jealous of you and Lan Yan? She's carrying my husband's child."

Huo Xiao's gaze lingered on Shao Yan's face, and Shao Yan was also slightly taken aback.

She could see that his gaze was gradually deepening, and it seemed to carry an anger that she couldn't understand.

"Shao Yan, you finally said it. You've been pretending not to care all this time. What, are you willing to settle accounts with me now?"
