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

Before Shao Yan could react, the man wrapped his arms around her waist. She was easily pulled into Huo Xiao's embrace, and the intimacy between the two was even more intense than that between Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong.

Shao Yan didn't know when Huo Xiao started calling her by such an intimate name; they weren't actually that close.

"Attorney Huo—"

With so many people around, Shao Yan felt very awkward.

"Are you afraid people will see you with me?"

Huo Xiao seemed displeased with her instinctive resistance, and Shao Yan blushed slightly, gently shaking her head.

Almost no one here knows her.

Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong might not even recognize her.

"Then why are you hiding? Or is it that you still have feelings for Meng Yu?"

Shao Yan didn't know if Huo Xiao's words meant he was jealous.

This man's mind is too hard to fathom. Shao Yan wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he's fallen deeply in love with her just because he's kissed Huo Xiao a few times.

He's not that kind of person.

"No, I just asked Mr. Cao, and he said that the data he provided for Meng Yu was better than our Fit. Attorney Huo, I would like to know your opinion."

Shao Yan didn't want to continue this pointless probing.

Huo Xiao was incredibly clever; even though he was still holding her, his expression became businesslike.

"I'm a lawyer, not a businessman. I don't understand the technical things you're talking about."

After a few modest words, he hit the nail on the head, making Shao Yan feel uneasy.

"Old Huo served in the military for decades, and he knew what was useful and needed. His vision was unparalleled."

Shao Yan blushed deeply; Huo Xiao didn't want to give her any face at all.

Embarrassed, Shao Yan turned her face away, feeling very uncomfortable.

Huo Xiao hooked her chin and gently traced her skin with his fingertips.

Are you angry?

The temperature of his fingertips was like fire, and Shao Yan felt a burning pain in her heart.

Everyone was amazed by today's exhibition, and no one noticed the two ambiguous figures in the corner.

Shao Yan wanted to say that she was very confident in her designs, but she couldn't prove herself in front of Huo Xiao.

Cao Lao's choice of Meng Yu was entirely her doing, and Shao Yan was dissatisfied and didn't want to argue with Huo Xiao.

"Attorney Huo, my team is here too. I need to go to work now."

Huo Xiao leaned back on the sofa, looking at her with deep eyes.

"Didn't you come here specifically to see the exhibition with me today?"

Shao Yan was still seething inside: "Attorney Huo, I'll say it again, I don't like being anyone's kept woman. You've got the wrong person."

If you look down on her so much, why bother with all this trouble?

Huo Xiao looked at her flushed face and suddenly felt much better.

His languid voice drifted over, making Shao Yan's blood boil.

"It looks soft, but it has a tough bone in it."

Huo Xiao's words were neither too harsh nor too mild, and Shao Yan quickened her pace and left.

Across the wine glass, Huo Xiao gazed at her graceful figure, took a sip of wine, and his eyes held undisguised desire.

She is indeed not suited to be a caged canary, but she is a wild horse that every man dreams of taming.

Shao Yan heard Huo Xiao's words clearly. Her face was burning hot, and she ran to find Han Yifei as if her life depended on it.

She came with Huo Xiao and spent so much time alone with him, so she thought Han Yifei was going to say something sarcastic, but he didn't say anything at all.

Without even asking any questions, they led her directly to the second-floor exhibition hall.

"Our Fit booth is over there too, let me show you."

Han Yifei and Shao Yan were followed by many industry bigwigs.

When Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong went up to the second floor, they saw Han Yifei and his group surrounded. In comparison, Meng Yu's group seemed much weaker.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and Meng Yu was filled with rage the moment he saw Han Yifei.

Pei Rongrong spotted Shao Yan immediately. With her beautiful, upturned eyebrows, she took out her phone and snapped a picture of Shao Yan and Han Yifei.

"Mr. Han from Fit really likes to steal women from others; he's even trying to steal my uncle's woman."

Meng Yu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Pei Rongrong knew something. After realizing what she was talking about, he understood that she was referring to the beautiful woman with a graceful figure next to Han Yifei.

Han Yifei introduced Shao Yan to those people without hesitation. When everyone learned that Shao Yan was the new vice president of Fit, they were surprised and a little incredulous.

Few women have emerged in this field; top designers are predominantly male.

Shao Yan is so young and so beautiful that it's hard to look away, so many people naturally thought of other things.

Meng Yu's gaze fell on Shao Yan's back, and he felt his heart skip a beat.

This kind of woman is so captivating from behind that it's impossible to resist her beauty; one can only imagine how breathtakingly beautiful her face must be.

Thinking of Han Yifei's past, and now that the Honda Fit is even better than the Meng Group, and even the women he finds seem to be better than him, Meng Yu's competitive spirit instantly flared up.

"You vixen, you're shameless, two-timing me."

Pei Rongrong muttered a curse under her breath, while Meng Yu pretended to be calm and put his arm around her, saying, "Let's go take a look."

Han Yifei also looked over at Meng Yu, and with a slight smile, turned his head to Shao Yan and said, "There are two more important exhibition areas that belong to us. President Shao, take some people over there to support us."

Meng Yu and Han Yifei faced each other, while Shao Yan was sent away.

"Mr. Meng, how have you been?"

Han Yifei called out to Meng Yu, who barely managed to pull his gaze back from where it was about to wander.

For reasons unknown, Meng Yu said sourly, "President Han is quite the ladies' man."

Han Yifei smiled and said, "Not at all. That's our company's Vice President Shao, a parachuted-in executive. I wouldn't dare lay a finger on him."

The implication is clear: if Meng Yu misunderstands, it's because he thinks Shao Yan is the boss's mistress.

Meng Yu took his deliberate attempt to distance himself from the situation as a boast.

"Mr. Han is being modest; this isn't like you at all."

Pei Rongrong was less reserved and got straight to the point.

"Hey Han, that woman is my uncle's girlfriend. If you two are having an affair, don't blame me for telling my uncle."

Han Yifei seemed to only then notice Pei Rongrong, his eyes filled with a rather sarcastic admiration.

"I don't have the ability to compete with others for women; I can't compare to President Meng's skill in playing the field."

Meng Yu's face slowly turned red, then turned black.

"Han Yifei, your Fit didn't get the military project this time, so you're here to get revenge, right?"

Huo Xiao helped bring in the project, and that was all Meng Yu could think of.

Han Yifei shook his head, a faint smile playing at the corners of his eyes.

"Don't label me and President Shao."

Meng Yu was slightly taken aback and asked subconsciously.

"President Shao? That President Shao."

Han Yifei's smile deepened.

"Shao Yan, Vice President Shao."

Pei Rongrong was furious after hearing this.

"I don't care who that woman is, but two-timing is unacceptable. Mr. Han probably doesn't know that your companion has a boyfriend. Or have you been deceived?"

Meng Yu was struck dumb. He had just heard Han Yifei say that the vice president of Fit was named Shao Yan.

"Excuse me, I have other things to attend to. Please make yourself at home, Mr. Meng."

Han Yifei ignored Pei Rongrong and was soon surrounded by a group of big shots as he left.

Meng Yu could only see Shao Yan's receding figure. He tried to put that beauty into his mind and compared her to the Shao Yan he knew, but they could not match.

Never mind, he's probably overthinking it.

Shao Yan, that cripple, is also plain-looking; she's a completely different person from the beauty Han Yifei described.

The other person has an incredibly long and alluring leg; how can a woman in a wheelchair compare?

Pei Rongrong said with a haughty expression, "Let's see what he's got to be so arrogant about once we officially cooperate with Grandpa Cao."
