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

Shao Yan packed her things and went downstairs, but didn't see Huo Xiao.

"The son-in-law said he's waiting for you at the door."

After learning Huo Xiao's true identity, Aunt Wu kept smiling.

When Shao Yan came out, she saw Huo Xiao leaning against the car door smoking.

Upon seeing her, he threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out. He strode straight toward Shao Yan, helping her carry her suitcase.

"So little?"

Huo Xiao frowned slightly at the sight of a 20-inch carry-on suitcase.

This box was brought by Shao Yan when she moved out of the Meng family; she didn't have much stuff to begin with.

"What else do you need me to go shopping with you?"

Shao Yan wanted to say no, but Huo Xiao had already instructed his assistant to drive the car to the largest shopping mall in Beicheng.

After getting out of the car, Huo Xiao placed a black card in Shao Yan's hand.

"Living expenses, Mrs. Huo."

Shao Yan's face instantly turned red, and the card in her hand felt like it was burning hot.

"I have a job and I still have money in my account, so I don't need this."

Huo Xiao smiled faintly: "No need to be polite. You are my wife, and it's a man's duty to contribute to household expenses."

He leaned closer and whispered in her ear.

"Go buy two sets of sexy lingerie, hmm?"

Shao Yan felt her face was so hot it could boil water.

She forgot that Huo Xiao had gone to great lengths to trick her into his hands, but ultimately it was all for that one thing.

How could she have thought he genuinely wanted to help her, only to find out—

She still fell into the net he had woven with tenderness.

Shao Yan hesitated for a few seconds before taking it.

Huo Xiao appeared to respect her and was also considerate and gentle.

But in reality, he relentlessly pursued her, determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.

Actually, there's nothing she needs to buy. If she absolutely had to buy something, it would only be that thing Huo Xiao mentioned.

Shao Yan knew that something like that would happen between them sooner or later, and since it was still legal, why should she be coy and pretentious?

So, Shao Yan went straight to the lingerie section and picked out two pieces of sexy lingerie that made her blush just by looking at them.

After she finished shopping, she found Huo Xiao standing in front of a counter, having just scanned a QR code to pay.

Shao Yan didn't know what he had bought, so she walked towards the counter to take a look.

It wasn't until he handed her the small box that Shao Yan noticed it was marked with a size L.

Realizing what she was holding, she almost threw it away as if she had been burned.

Huo Xiao's large hand gently grasped her hand, just enough to envelop the square box.

His gaze toward Shao Yan deepened and took on a hint of mockery.

"Mrs. Huo, you don't have to use it if you feel uncomfortable."

Shao Yan pulled her hand away from his as if she were a thief, and then secretly put the things into the bag of the underwear she had bought.

Why was she curious about what he was buying, and why did she accept whatever he handed to her?

This man acts all proper in front of others, but in front of her he's not only secretly lewd but also a beast.

Shao Yan wondered if he hadn't been with a woman in a long time, which was why he was so thirsty.

Huo Xiao took her home, and Sister Wei was also very happy to see Shao Yan.

"Miss Shao—"

Huo Xiao took off Shao Yan's coat and handed it to Sister Wei: "From now on, call her Mrs. Wei."

Shao Yan lowered her eyelids, her face flushed.

After a moment of stunned silence, Sister Wei was overjoyed.

"Yes, madam."

Unlike Huo Xiao, Shao Yan didn't prepare a red envelope, but instead took off the bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Sister Wei.

"Sister Wei, this is my gift to you. Please accept it."

Sister Wei's eyes were red, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Madam, you're too kind. This is too expensive; I can't accept it."

Huo Xiao gently pulled Shao Yan into his arms and looked at Sister Wei.

"You should keep it since it's from your wife."

Sister Wei wiped away her tears and finally accepted it.

"Sister Wei, please add a couple more dishes. My wife and I are having dinner at home today to celebrate getting our marriage certificate."

Shao Yan went upstairs to take a shower, and Huo Xiao followed her into the room and took out the things she had bought.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Huo Xiao holding the black semi-transparent silk robe, his face flushed red.

Huo Xiao didn't notice that she had already come out. He turned around and met Shao Yan's awkward expression, and smiled meaningfully.

"Mrs. Huo has good taste."

He put the clothes back. Shao Yan had just come out of the shower, wrapped in a bathrobe, her shoulders half-exposed, and her long, slender legs exposed.

Huo Xiao's gaze involuntarily fell on her smooth, long legs, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

He made no attempt to conceal his admiration for her figure and her embarrassment, as if he were appreciating a work of art.

Shao Yan felt extremely uncomfortable: "I want to change my clothes, could you—go outside first?"

She was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist, but she wasn't ready yet.

Huo Xiao smiled faintly: "I'm here to tell you that Sister Wei has prepared the meal and asked me to call you downstairs."

Shao Yan clutched the bath towel tightly until Huo Xiao's figure disappeared, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Shao Yan was still alone in the master bedroom that night.

She thought Huo Xiao was a bit of a repressed flirt, but he never pressured her in that regard.

Thinking about the thing he bought today, Shao Yan couldn't help but feel her face flush.

It was quite late, and Huo Xiao still hadn't entered the room, so Shao Yan went to sleep without worry.

Huo Xiao finished the last document and went from the study to the master bedroom.

Bathed in the dim, yellowish light of the bedside lamp, Shao Yan slept peacefully, her body languid.

Her slightly exposed arms glowed with a pinkish light.

Huo Xiao's gaze seemed to be fixed on Shao Yan for a moment before rolling over her body.

In the middle of the night, Shao Yan vaguely felt her body being held tightly by a pair of strong arms, and she could smell the fragrance of cedar trees.

She gently turned over, half-asleep, as if someone was taking her air. She tried to open her mouth to breathe, but someone held her lips and kissed her passionately.

Shao Yan suddenly opened her eyes, thinking she was dreaming, when she was suddenly met with Huo Xiao's deep eyes in the darkness.

She was so startled that she almost rolled off the bed.

Fortunately, Huo Xiao was quick-witted and pulled her into his arms. In the hazy moonlight, Huo Xiao smiled slightly.

"Mrs. Huo, you seem quite excited to see me, huh?"

Shao Yan then realized that their relationship had changed.

Now Huo Xiao can do whatever he wants to her, because they are now legally married.

Under his intense gaze, Shao Yan couldn't help but lick her dry lips.

This action almost caused Huo Xiao to lose his strong sense of self-control. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her as politely and gently as possible.

Shao Yan stiffly hugged him, letting him kiss her.

Her response was too docile, like that of a little girl who had never experienced anything.

Huo Xiao gently cupped her face as if it were a porcelain doll; her long, black hair fell to either side, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Shao Yan's bright eyes revealed a hint of fear, yet also a touch of defiance.

"Mrs. Huo, you're so distant, are you still a virgin?"

Her reaction was nothing like that of a young married woman, and Huo Xiao felt a strange, indescribable feeling rising in his heart.

Shao Yan let him pinch her chin, her beautiful eyes filled with misty tears.

"It's funny that you know Meng Yu never touched me."
