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

Meng Yu was surprised to see Huo Xiao, and said awkwardly, "No, I just saw President Shao out and saw her off."

With Huo Xiao around, he wouldn't dare.

Shao Yan, however, had no intention of letting Meng Yu off the hook.

"President Meng just asked me if I had seen the photos."

Huo Xiao narrowed his dark eyes slightly, looked at Meng Yu intently, and raised an eyebrow.

"Photos? What photos?"

Meng Yu's heart sank. He didn't believe Shao Yan would say such a private thing directly in front of Huo Xiao.

Isn't she afraid of losing face?

Despite her husband having another woman, Shao Yan was still able to discuss this matter with Huo Xiao as if nothing had happened.

Judging from Huo Xiao's expression, it was clear that Shao Yan hadn't made a fuss with him at all last night.

This realization made Meng Yu very uncomfortable; he felt he had underestimated Shao Yan.

What kind of woman is she exactly?

"That picture of you hugging and cuddling with another woman, you should thank President Meng. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that our Attorney Huo was so popular, with women throwing themselves at him."

Huo Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim. Yesterday, the woman?

That leaves only Lan Yan.

Huo Xiao stared at Meng Yu, who felt very awkward.

Instead of worrying about me, you should spend more time on Rongrong.

After saying that, Huo Xiao brought his lips close to Shao Yan's ear.

"Did it hurt this morning? I'll take a look when we get back. It wouldn't be good if it tore."

His words were extremely ambiguous, and anyone who wasn't stupid could understand what Huo Xiao was saying.

Shao Yan deliberately lowered her eyes, her charming demeanor making one's bones melt.

The color drained from Meng Yu's face.

Shao Yan knew that Huo Xiao had been with another woman last night, but was still able to have sex with Huo Xiao this morning.

He looked like a clown in front of her, a pathetic little man.

"Sorry to bother you."

Meng Yu turned and left with a cold face, while Huo Xiao took Shao Yan into the car.

The two got into the back seat, and Shao Yan pushed Huo Xiao away, keeping her distance from him.

Huo Xiao chuckled to himself when he saw Shao Yan's sullen expression.

"Mrs. Huo is so patient. If Meng Yu hadn't told you, would you have never let me know?"

He absolutely loved the way his beloved woman got jealous.

Shao Yan slapped away his outstretched hand that was trying to flirt with her, her face cold.

"Attorney Huo is in high spirits. He partied all night and still managed to keep me entertained when he got home."

Huo Xiao knew she was really angry this time, so he pulled her into his arms and raised the partition inside the car.

He hooked her chin: "Mrs. Huo can ask whatever she wants to know now."

Shao Yan didn't want to be pretentious at all.

She's just angry and bothered by it.

"Was that woman last night your ex-girlfriend?"

Huo Xiao paused for a moment: "Yes."

Seeing his decisive answer, Shao Yan's eyes instantly reddened.

"Did you do it?"

This time, Huo Xiao answered without hesitation, without even a second of thought.

"No, you're the only woman I have. And there's also my fifth sister."

Shao Yan was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that he was referring to "Fifth Sister".

She was stunned, still feeling uneasy.

"I asked you yesterday why you lied."

She wasn't angry that he was with his ex-girlfriend, but that he hadn't told her.

Huo Xiao hugged her tightly, smiling happily.

"I just feel there's no need to explain someone so insignificant. Shao Yan, that's my past, someone who's forever dead in the past and can never be brought back to life."

Shao Yan had to admit that although Huo Xiao's explanation was completely insincere, she still believed it.

"So, Mrs. Huo, are you done asking? I'm so hungry—"

He took her hand, placed it on his lower abdomen, and then slowly moved it down.

Shao Yan quickly pulled her hand back as if she had been burned, and spat out, "Shameless."

This man turns into a beast when he's carrying someone on his back.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything outrageous afterward.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Huo Xiao, as always, ordered many of her favorite dishes and served her throughout the meal.

"I'm free this Saturday, and my sister asked me to take you home for dinner."

Huo Xiao gave her a notification, and Shao Yan wanted to refuse, but she couldn't.

Because he wasn't asking for her opinion.

Shao Yan was just very curious.

"You know perfectly well that Meng Yu and I—we had a past—yet you still allow me to meet your family?"

Moreover, Meng Yu was practically deceiving both sides, so why didn't Huo Xiao mind at all?

He didn't answer her immediately, but instead put a piece of meat on her plate, then put down his chopsticks and stared at her with his deep, dark eyes.

Shao Yan saw a slight curve at the corner of his handsome lips.

"You mean you and Meng Yu have been a fake couple all these years? You gave yourself to me, so there's no need for him to bring it up anymore."

Shao Yan was speechless.

Men sometimes care about things that are really different from women.

Women just love to nitpick.

After that, Shao Yan stopped asking questions and focused on her meal.

Saturday arrived quickly.

Shao Yan chose a plain-colored base dress, put on a simple cashmere coat, and tied up her long, black curly hair. She wore no makeup, and her skin was fair and gentle.

Huo Xiao looked at her, pulled her close, and kissed her.

"She seems like the ideal wife and loving mother."

Shao Yan becomes incredibly charming with just a little makeup, but her natural beauty is so delicate it's heartbreaking.

Huo Xiao felt different every time he looked at her. If he had time, he would have loved to take her into the room and make love to her passionately.

"Meng Yu will go too, right?"

She really didn't want to see him.

Meng Yu called her again yesterday. She answered and was scolded by him. He called her an ingrate and told her to go back and help him and Pei Rongrong with surrogacy as soon as possible. She just took it as a joke.

"Of course, future aunt, have you prepared a red envelope for your nephew-in-law?"

His half-joking tone made Shao Yan laugh, and she felt relieved and stopped worrying about Meng Yu's attendance.

Huo Qingyue knew that the young couple was coming, so she had the servants prepare the meals early in the morning.

Shao Yan was still a little nervous, after all, she was meeting her sister as Huo Xiao's wife.

Half an hour later, Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong arrived, but they brought an uninvited guest with them.

Huo Qingyue was surprised that Lan Yue dared to come to her door, especially on such a day, and her face immediately turned cold.

"Miss Lan, you are not welcome in our home."

Pei Rongrong, however, coquettishly pulled Huo Qingyue's hand.

"Mommy, Sister Lanyan has finally come back, why are you treating her like this? She just wants to see Uncle. If it weren't for Sister Lanyan back then, Uncle wouldn't be where he is today."

Huo Qingyue couldn't help but shout, "Shut up—"

Pei Hong, standing to the side, pulled Huo Qingyue aside and said, "Never mind, we're guests, Miss Lan, let's have a meal together."

Huo Qingyue and her family entered the restaurant. When Shao Yan saw Lan Yan's face clearly, her body froze instantly.

This is Huo Xiao's ex-girlfriend.

While she was sizing up Lan Yan, Lan Yan was also sizing her up.

After a long while, Lan Yan looked at Huo Xiao with a charming smile.

"Ah Xiao, is this your girlfriend?"

Huo Xiao held Shao Yan's hand tightly under the table, afraid that she would get angry and run away.

"No, Yan Yan is Mrs. Huo, we're already married."
