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

Shao Yan stopped bothering Song Qingyan, and Song Qingyan, seeing that there were outsiders present, naturally dared not act recklessly again, lest the media discover and write something that would negatively affect his image.

"it is good."

Shao Yan left with Qin Mu.

Qin Mu closed the office door as soon as he arrived.

"Ms. Shao, aren't you at work?"

Qin Mu asked his assistant to pour Shao Yan a glass of water.

"Um, something came up."

Qin Mu glanced at her: "Youyou has been gone from me for several days now. I was just about to ask you if she's with you."

Shao Yan looked at him in surprise.

"Isn't Qu You with you?"

Qin Mu was also having a headache.

Remembering the last time she said she went out to eat with Shao Yan, and then came back and took a nap, the two of them ate, went to work, and did what they wanted to do as usual, without anything unusual.

However, Qu You was nowhere to be found when she returned that night.

Qin Mu thought it best not to provoke her and wondered where she had gone.

He only vaguely heard her say that Huo Xiao wasn't in Beicheng, and he assumed he had gone with Shao Yan.

The hospital has been quite busy lately, and Qin Mu has been calling Qu You occasionally, but she hasn't answered.

But Qin Mu didn't doubt it, nor did he think the worst.

"No, I thought Ah Xiao wasn't here; she went with you."

Shao Yan hadn't realized anything yet. She warmed her hands with the hot tea and said calmly.

"All I know is that Huo Xiao went to LA for Lan Yan, you should know that, right?"

Qin Mu's pupils constricted upon hearing this, and he felt completely disoriented.

"You mean Ah Xiao went to LA?"

That was Qu'ao's lair.

What was he doing there? And it was for Lan Yan, no less.

Why did he go?

Shao Yan assumed they were brothers, so naturally they knew more than she did. Qin Mu's reaction was probably meant to be a warning to her.

But Shao Yan was really tired.

She's not an actress, and she doesn't have that kind of acting skill.

"Lan Yan is pregnant with Huo Xiao's child. If I'm not mistaken, her godfather probably found out, or maybe it's for some other reason."

"You can help me with my prenatal checkup today. Huo Xiao has his own choices, and I don't blame him."

All she wanted was to protect her only child. It was Huo Xiao's freedom to be with whomever he wanted; she couldn't and didn't want to interfere.

Qin Mu's expression changed.

"You mean Youyou knows Huo Xiao went to LA? Are you sure?"

Shao Yan gave a bitter smile.

"I'm not sure, that's what Youyou told me. She said Huo Xiao went there, but I'm not entirely sure. But what she said is definitely true."

Shao Yan didn't know, but Qin Mo knew it must be true. Overcome with excitement, she stood up from her seat, her usual calm expression vanishing as she looked at Shao Yan, her words filled with urgency.

"Did she really tell you that?"

After receiving Shao Yan's confirmation, Qin Mu immediately called Qu You. This time the call was answered, and Qu You's voice came through quickly.

"Haven't seen me for a few days, and you're already missing me?"

Qu You's lighthearted teasing did not ease Qin Mu's mind; on the contrary, it made him even more nervous.

Because Qu You would never speak to him so politely if she were still in China. She would definitely yell at him and ask why he hadn't shown her any concern these past few days.

"You went to see your dad, didn't you?"

Qin Mu's words left Qu You speechless. Seeing that she could no longer deceive him, she had no choice but to admit it.

"Don't tell Yan Yan, she doesn't know yet. My brother has been locked up by my dad. He's covered in blood. If I hadn't come, he would have died."

Qin Mu gritted his teeth after hearing this, but because Shao Yan was in front of him, he couldn't show it too obviously.

He could only use an indifferent tone to try to make himself appear calm.

"Why didn't you consult me ​​about such a big decision and instead made it all on your own? Don't you know what he might do?"

The "he" Qin Mu was referring to was Qu Ao.

Qu You knew exactly what Qu Ao was going to do, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Where are you? If you haven't seen him yet, try not to take any further action. I will contact Qi Yanli and Si Zhao to go there together. You'd better remain still until we arrive."

Shao Yan listened quietly to him talking, her hands clasped together, seemingly nonchalant, but her ears were constantly listening to Qin Mu's phone call with Qu You.

What she feared most was not the above, but that Huo Xiao's journey would likely end in grave danger, and that was indeed the case.

After Qin Mu put down the phone, he looked at Shao Yan.

"You're pregnant, so stay home and rest. I'll book an afternoon flight to go there and see what's going on."

However, Shao Yan couldn't wait any longer; Huo Xiao's life or death was at stake, and she couldn't just sit idly by.

"I'll go with you."

Shao Yan's tone was resolute. Although she didn't ask Qin Mu what had happened, she knew it must be something bad.

Qin Mu was also looking at her at this moment, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, and nodded.

"Alright, but you'd better not do anything without our orders."

Shao Yan's heart tightened even more at his words. She nodded hastily, trying to calm herself down before calling Han Yifei to tell him that she might be out of Beicheng for a while and that he could contact her by phone if anything came up.

Han Yifei thought about it briefly and guessed that it must be related to Huo Xiao, so he agreed immediately.

At 1 p.m., Shao Yan picked up her passport and boarded the plane to go abroad with Qin Mu. When they arrived at the airport, they found that in addition to Qin Mu, Qi Yanli, Si Zhao, and Jiang Huai'en were also there; they were all present.

Although Shao Yan was somewhat surprised, judging from their solemn expressions, he could roughly guess that Huo Xiao was in a very dangerous situation over there.

Qi Yanli glanced at Shao Yan, then glared at Qin Mu.

"Why did you bring him along?"

Shao Yan volunteered to answer first.

"I asked Qin Mu to bring me here."

Jiang Huai'en, carrying a suitcase in one hand and with the other hand in his coat pocket, said calmly.

"Since you're here, let's all go together. Don't be so fierce towards her; she's pregnant and has a baby in her belly. If you scare her, Ah Xiao won't let you off the hook."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yanli shrank back and remained silent.

The group of five went through the green channel and boarded the plane directly.

More than ten hours later, they met up with Qu You at the airport.

When Qu You saw Shao Yan, an incredulous glint flashed in her eyes.

Her reaction was the same as Qi Yanli's when she saw Shao Yan. She also knew that Qin Mu was involved in these matters, so she glared at Qin Mu fiercely.

"Why did you bring Yan Yan here?"

Shao Yan gently hugged Qu You, her eyes filled with determination and courage.

"Don't blame Qin Mu. I asked to come myself. Xiao is my husband. No matter what happens to him, I have to come."

She knew that Huo Xiao had come to Qu Ao because of Lan Yan, and she could also be stubborn and ignore Huo Xiao's life or death. Although she knew that she probably couldn't help much, Huo Xiao was the father of the child in her womb. Even if the two of them were to break up, they couldn't do it in an unclear way.

Qu You had no choice but to hold her hand.

"Okay, let's set off together."
