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

Huo Xiao seemed to be a man of his word; from that day on, he indeed never went to the hospital to see Lan Yan again.

Shao Yan could sense it.

Because he started harassing her with text messages and phone calls during the day, and if she didn't answer the phone, Han Yifei would come knocking on the door like a sycophant, implying that she shouldn't neglect taking care of "Lawyer Huo" because of work.

Sometimes Shao Yan was very curious about the relationship between Han Yifei and Huo Xiao, feeling that he seemed to listen to Huo Xiao quite a bit.

He resembled the second-in-command of a mountain stronghold, while Huo Xiao was the bandit leader.

That evening, Huo Xiao continued to make insatiable demands on her.

On Friday night, they were asleep when Huo Xiao's phone suddenly rang late at night.

It was a call from the hospital. Shao Yan was still dreaming when she sensed Huo Xiao getting up and changing his clothes.

He left without saying goodbye or even leaving a word.

The sound of Huo Xiao riding away came from the courtyard downstairs. Shao Yan got up, put on her clothes, but Huo Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

She had a feeling it must be Lan Yan.

Having been with Huo Xiao for so long, he doesn't show much emotion towards anyone or anything, and he can handle all unexpected events around him very well.

He only panics when Lan Yan is in trouble.

They would lose their composure like headless flies.

Shao Yan wrapped her coat tighter in the darkness, the cold wind blowing on her face, making her feel cold both physically and mentally.

He said that day was the last day, so what does it mean that he went there immediately when Lan Yan called so late?

Shao Yan was lost in thought at home when Huo Xiao called half an hour later.

She looked at the caller ID on the screen, hesitating whether or not to answer.

Finally, I swiped the screen open.

"Yan Yan—"

It was Huo Xiao's voice, hoarse from just waking up in the middle of the night.

"Um."

Shao Yan bit her lip, quietly waiting for his explanation.

"Lan Yan committed suicide. I'm sorry, things were too urgent just now, and I didn't tell you."

Shao Yan took a breath; sure enough, it was Lan Yan again.

She had already guessed it, and it wasn't surprising.

"It's alright, saving lives is the priority."

Huo Xiao held his phone, and the two fell silent simultaneously.

Just as Shao Yan was about to hang up, Huo Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Could you come to the hospital and stay with me?"

"???"

Shao Yan didn't understand what he meant. His beloved had committed suicide, and he still wanted her to go and accompany him?

Huo Xiao didn't give her time to consider.

"I'll have Cheng Qian pick you up. Don't go to work tomorrow."

"..."

Shao Yan changed into her outdoor clothes and waited quietly in the living room.

She didn't know why she agreed to go to the hospital with Huo Xiao.

Do you think they're being affectionate and need an audience, so you want her to watch the live broadcast?

Cheng Qian arrived quickly. He didn't say anything, and Shao Yan stepped into the dark night and went to the hospital.

When Shao Yan saw Huo Xiao, he was sitting in the corridor of the emergency room, still looking sleepy.

Looking at his almost asleep appearance, Shao Yan didn't see any worry in him.

"Serves you right."

Shao Yan cursed inwardly. He had been tormenting her from nine o'clock last night until three in the morning. It was four in the morning now, and it was already a miracle that Huo Xiao could still open his eyes.

He saw Shao Yan arrive and waved to her.

Shao Yan sighed and let it pass. He rested his head on her shoulder, his voice hoarse.

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

"..."

Shao Yan was speechless, and Cheng Qian looked at her.

"Madam, please stay with Lawyer Huo. I will handle Miss Lan's affairs."

Shao Yan looked at the sleeping man beside her, her feelings incredibly complicated.

She could have taken the opportunity to kick him away, but Shao Yan thought she was too soft-hearted.

Seeing that Huo Xiao seemed to be sleeping soundly, she also felt a little sleepy.

After Lan Yan's surgery was completed, the doctor wheeled her out.

She thought that the first person she would see when she opened her eyes would be Huo Xiao, but instead, she only saw Huo Xiao's assistant, Cheng Qian.

"Where is Ah Xiao? Where is he?"

She remembered giving the doctor Huo Xiao's phone number; there was no way he wouldn't have come.

Cheng Qian looked at Lan Yan apologetically.

"Attorney Huo and his wife are resting in another room. Miss Lan, you can tell me if there's anything you need."

Lan Yan lost her temper: "Call Huo Xiao here, I only want Huo Xiao."

She yelled at Cheng Qian like a madwoman, and Cheng Qian had no choice but to go find Huo Xiao.

Someone blocked Cheng Qian's way at the ward entrance.

"Go tell Attorney Huo to go back; there are people here to take care of this woman."

Qu You stood coldly at the door, while Cheng Qian nodded and left.

Lan Yan looked at Qu You as if she had seen a ghost.

"How...how did you know I was here?"

Qu You closed the door and locked it.

She walked up to Lan Yan and slapped her twice across the face.

"You little devil, not only did I know you were here, I also had someone notify that person. He's on a plane right now, landing in Beicheng in two hours, and he'll be able to meet you right away."

Lan Yan shook her head in horror: "You can't do that."

Qu Youhe chuckled: "If I don't do this, will you harm Brother Xiao? If you have any humanity left, you should be a proper dead ex, instead of constantly coming back to life."

Lan Yan looked at Qu You with great anger.

"I love him. What's wrong with coming to see him?"

Qu You laughed angrily: "You love Brother Xiao? You're married, but you lied to him and said you were divorced. But he still doesn't want you, does he?"

Lan Yan, stop dreaming. Brother Xiao has already found his sweetheart, and he will never want you in this lifetime.

"If you hadn't done that, there might still be a chance, but now you have absolutely no hope. I'm warning you, if you dare to even think about Xiao-gege again, I'll tell that person and make sure you lose everything."

Lan Yan completely disregarded Qu You's threats.

"Do you think he'll believe you? Don't forget, you two have broken off all ties."

Qu You looked at Lan Yan as if she were a fool.

"He won't believe me, but do you think he believes Jiang Huai'en or Brother Xiao? You're disgusting. If you don't stop, don't blame me."

After making her threats, Qu You slammed the door and left, leaving Lan Yan crying uncontrollably in the hospital room.

Shao Yan stayed with Huo Xiao until late morning. When he woke up after a good night's sleep, he found Shao Yan beside him with a charming smile on her lips.

"Good morning, Mrs. Huo."

Shao Yan pushed away his lips, which were about to kiss her, with a hint of annoyance.

"What do you mean, 'early'? Does the hospital smell better than home?"

Huo Xiao then realized that he and Shao Yan were at the hospital.

"Let's go, we should head back too."

Shao Yan looked at him: "Aren't you going to see Miss Lan?"

Huo Xiao gently stroked Shao Yan's head: "What's so interesting about her? Is she prettier than my wife?"

Shao Yan blushed as he teased her.

I've decided I'll never fall for his tricks again.

She's probably the first person to accompany her husband to find his ex-girlfriend.

"Let's go, it's getting light, it's time to go home."

Huo Xiao pulled Shao Yan's hand and walked out. As they passed through the hospital corridor, a group of people walked towards them from the opposite direction.

The man in the lead was around fifty years old, very energetic, and dressed in an old-money style.

Walking beside him were several bodyguards in black, each of them looking quite smug.

Huo Xiao's expression suddenly turned cold when he saw the man, and he slowed his pace.

Shao Yan also noticed that something was wrong with Huo Xiao, until the man walked up to Huo Xiao and the two stood facing each other.

The man kept staring at Huo Xiao, and finally put his hand on Huo Xiao's shoulder.

"What's wrong? You can't even greet your godfather?"
