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

A mist rose in Lan Yan's eyes, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Um, I need to use the restroom."

Si Zhao was about to slip away when Qi Yanli immediately stood up, saying, "I'm going too, wait for me."

He followed closely behind the eunuch, as if being chased by a ghost, and immediately disappeared.

Qin Mu remained seated, showing no intention of leaving.

Lan Yan tried to place her hand on Huo Xiao's chest, looking at him with a soft voice and eyes as pure as lake water.

She wore the clothes Huo Xiao gave her today, and only wore light makeup.

They look no different from college students who have just graduated; these were Huo Xiao's favorites back then.

"Xiao, don't blame Yanli and the others. They also hope that we can be together again."

Huo Xiao flicked his cigarette ash and tightly gripped the restless hand on his chest. Lan Yan was overjoyed, thinking there was hope.

Qin Mu scoffed and stood up, unable to bear it any longer.

"Don't make me go see patients in the middle of the night after you eat shit."

Lan Yan didn't understand what Qin Mu meant.

Of Huo Xiao's friends, Qin Mu disliked Lan Yan the most.

There were five brothers back then, all of whom grew up together, but Lan Yan slept with the one who was closest to Huo Xiao.

As a result, the five-player game became a four-player game.

Over the years, Lan Yan apologized to them many times, and eventually won the forgiveness of Si Zhao and Qi Yanli.

Only Qin Mu refused to listen.

Qin Mu also left, and Huo Xiao shook off Lan Yan's hand.

"Why would you come back if you weren't abroad?"

Lan Yan's eyes welled up with tears.

"I divorced him last week—"

Huo Xiao didn't even glance at Lan Yan.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Huo Xiao got up to leave, but Lan Yan rushed over and grabbed him from behind, hugging his waist.

"Xiao, I know you love me. I actually love you too, please forgive me."

He sneered, "How do you know I love you?"

Lan Yan didn't care at all; she just kept talking to herself.

"Yanli and the others told me that you haven't had a woman by your side all these years. Even when women threw themselves at you, you didn't even glance at them. Xiao, I know I was wrong back then, but I'm divorced and have decided to come back to you. Why can't you just openly admit that you still have feelings for me?"

She pressed her face against Huo Xiao's back, and hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

She wanted Huo Xiao to hear her sobs and her sadness.

"These past few years haven't been easy for me either. Let's stop torturing each other, okay?"

Just as Huo Xiao was about to pry her hands off, Pei Rongrong and Meng Yu walked in through the door.

Pei Rongrong had just seen Qin Mu and the others come out of this private room and guessed that Huo Xiao was also there, so she insisted on dragging Meng Yu over to greet Huo Xiao.

Pei Rongrong had already forgotten that Huo Xiao hadn't helped her when she was beaten last time.

Meng Yu is about to take on another big order, and only his uncle can handle it.

Seeing someone coming, Lan Yan quickly let go of Huo Xiao, but she still stood tightly by his side, unwilling to leave for even a moment.

Pei Rongrong saw Lan Yan's face clearly, and her expression showed slight surprise, her words also carrying a hint of impoliteness.

"Why is it you?"

When Lan Yan saw Pei Rongrong, she immediately wiped away her tears and put on a smile.

"Rongrong, it's been so long! You've become even more beautiful."

She returned to her seat, opened her bag, took out an expensive bottle of perfume, and presented it to Pei Rongrong.

"This is for you. I was in a bit of a rush to come back, so please don't mind."

Pei Rongrong glanced at it but didn't take it: "Who wants your stuff?"

Lan Yan wasn't embarrassed at all and simply shoved the perfume into Pei Rongrong's hand.

Pei Rongrong initially intended to throw away the perfume, but when her gaze fell upon this woman, she hesitated.

Compared to that vixen Shao Yan, this woman who once abandoned her uncle is now more to her liking.

Because her uncle would never want this piece of junk, it would be perfect to use this woman to strike at Shao Yandao.

Pei Rongrong thought for a moment and accepted it discreetly.

Lan Yan was secretly pleased, thinking that the Huo family's little princess had accepted her.

Pei Rongrong looked at Huo Xiao: "Uncle, I came here with Ayu and saw you, so I brought Ayu to say hello."

Huo Xiao said coldly, "I'm leaving. You guys have fun."

Pei Rongrong stopped Huo Xiao: "Uncle, is Sister Lan Yan here to see you? It's not easy for her to come all this way, so don't be so cold. Ayu and I won't bother you two any longer."

After saying that, Pei Rongrong pulled Meng Yu, who was still in a daze, and left.

Meng Yu was unwilling to meet Huo Xiao in the first place. He couldn't stand the look of disdain he received, especially from Huo Xiao.

That's his future great-uncle, and he's with that Shao Yan.

Meng Yu felt inexplicably uncomfortable thinking about this.

But seeing the woman beside Huo Xiao today, he seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness.

"Does your uncle have a girlfriend?"

Pei Rongrong sneered: "Ex-girlfriend, but at least she's much better than his current girlfriend. My uncle's ex-girlfriend did a lot for him. Later, they had a small misunderstanding and broke up, but I believe they will get back together soon."

Because she would definitely help Lan Yan and make that vixen get out of her uncle's house.

Meng Yu seemed somewhat distracted after listening.

"Let's go for a drink."

Pei Rongrong pulled Meng Yu away, and Meng Yu gave a faint "hmm".

He had just deliberately taken a photo of himself in the same private room as Huo Xiao, and made sure Lan Yan's face was clearly visible. He then posted the photo to the temporary group chat that Han Yifei had created for him, Director Liang, and Shao Yan.

The accompanying text reads: "Attorney Huo and I are at a bar. Mr. Han, would you like to come join us?"

He deliberately didn't tag Han Yifei alone, wanting Shao Yan to see that her sweetheart was being affectionate with another woman.

Especially the picture of Lan Yan holding Huo Xiao, which he took immediately after entering the room.

Meng Yu himself was unsure of his motivations.

Han Yifei, who had just left the dinner table, was sitting in his car preparing to go home after receiving the group message.

Upon seeing the photo, he frowned slightly.

Then, before Meng Yu could send any more photos, he kicked the person out of the group.

Meng Yu was getting into it when a dialog box popped up: "You have been removed from the group chat by the administrator."

"..."

Pei Rongrong noticed that he seemed to be sending messages, but when she leaned closer, she only saw a group chat window and didn't look at it anymore.

Shao Yan had just woken up and saw that it was only a little past 11 p.m., and Huo Xiao had not yet returned.

She went upstairs to get a glass of water, and as soon as she returned to her room, she heard her phone vibrate.

Upon clicking, two photos of bars immediately came into view.

One photo showed Huo Xiao being hugged from behind by a woman, another showed Pei Rongrong, Huo Xiao and a pure and beautiful woman standing next to him, along with a text message sent by Meng Yu.

Shao Yan brought the water to her lips, and after seeing the photo of Huo Xiao being embraced, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

No wonder he hasn't come home so late tonight; it turns out he has a woman with him.
