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

Huo Xiao gently put his arm around her: "Qu You? Your best friend?"

Shao Yan felt he was faking it, so she pressed him further.

"You know them, right?"

He downplayed the issue, reaching out to pinch her pert nose: "This is between you two. She'll tell you when she wants to. I won't gossip."

Shao Yan was extremely dissatisfied because she did not get the answer she wanted.

But Huo Xiao was determined not to tell her, so she had no choice but to give up.

"It's late at night, and if we don't go to sleep soon it will be dawn."

Huo Xiao picked her up and carried her to the bed.

The next day, Sister Wei prepared breakfast.

After the young couple finished eating together, Huo Xiao drove Shao Yan to her Honda Fit.

She felt nauseous as soon as she arrived at the company, rushed to the bathroom and vomited violently, throwing up everything she had eaten that morning.

This was the third time she had vomited.

After thinking about it, Shao Yan decided to send the errand boy to the pharmacy to buy a test strip to see if there was anything wrong.

She calculated that these few days were a safe period and wanted Huo Xiao to take precautions, but he said it wasn't necessary.

Shao Yan believed him, as she knew she wouldn't get pregnant during her safe period.

However, Shao Yan felt something was wrong with her frequent vomiting over the past few days.

When she came out of the bathroom after using the test strip, she felt like the sky had fallen.

Two bars.

She really got infected.

Completely unexpected, she was not prepared at all.

Shao Yan was completely stunned when she saw the result. She thought Huo Xiao definitely wouldn't want the child.

She didn't want him to know either. She would go to the hospital for a check-up in a couple of days and find a suitable opportunity to abort the child.

In the afternoon, Shao Yan's assistant, Feng Ying, brought in a long box.

"What is it?"

She didn't remember buying something this big.

"It was sent by Attorney Huo."

It looks like it's a formal dress or something similar.

Feng Ying put down the things and left. Shao Yan opened the box, and sure enough, there was a dark gray starry evening dress inside.

The dress was covered with tiny diamonds, which were dazzling to Shao Yanguang when she held it in her hand.

Besides the dress, there was also a set of jewelry, which was an extremely rare South African purple diamond necklace with a large central gemstone surrounded by a circle of smaller star-shaped gemstones.

This necklace alone must cost tens of millions.

She was shocked. Why would Huo Xiao suddenly give her this?

Shao Yan was still thinking when Huo Xiao's call came.

"Do you like the clothes and jewelry? Try them on to see if they fit. If they do, we can have them altered."

Shao Yan couldn't say whether she liked it or not.

Why did you give me this?

Surely Huo Xiao didn't just suddenly decide to be romantic on a whim.

"Do I need a reason to give my wife a gift?"

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Shao Yan was puzzled and left the clothes and jewelry untouched in the box.

She thought about it and decided to take them home first.

All day long, the gifts Huo Xiao gave Shao Yan made her lose her appetite.

She had been thinking about how to abort her child with him, and she wondered how Huo Xiao would react when he found out.

Perhaps they disagree, perhaps—

Shao Yan didn't want to think about it any further, and consequently, the gift felt a bit too hot to handle.

Fortunately, she didn't need to worry too much. When she got home, Huo Xiao explained the reason directly.

"My godfather is treating everyone to dinner in a couple of days. The clothes are for that dinner."

Shao Yan then realized that he wanted her to wear the expensive battle robe he had given her to save face for him.

Shao Yan knew he had ulterior motives. The clothes were beautiful, but she felt uneasy.

"it is good."

She complied, which only strengthened her resolve to abort the child.

Huo Xiao definitely won't like this child; she will only be a burden to him if she is born.

Huo Xiao went downstairs, leaving Shao Yan alone looking at the dress, her mind in turmoil.

Huo Xiao's godfather hosted a banquet at the top floor of the most luxurious five-star hotel in Beicheng.

Shao Yan thought there wouldn't be many people, but unexpectedly, Huo Xiao's godfather invited Huo Xiao's sister, brother-in-law, Pei Rongrong, and Meng Yu.

Besides Qin Mu, whom she knew, there were three other men she didn't know.

However, they were all imposing and dignified, clearly not ordinary people.

Lan Yan sat next to Huo Xiao's godfather.

She is completely different today from the half-dead state she was in the hospital that day.

She wore a dark green velvet evening gown, a vintage-patterned gold necklace around her neck, her long hair styled in a bun, and teardrop-shaped emerald pendants dangling from her ears.

She looked elegant and sophisticated; compared to her previous outfits, she appeared much more mature today.

Shao Yan wore a smoky gray dress that Huo Xiao had chosen for her, and her long, black hair was styled in soft waves and casually draped over her back.

She didn't wear the necklace he gave her, thinking it was too extravagant.

She wore light makeup, and every smile, gesture, and movement exuded endless charm.

Lan Yan is undoubtedly beautiful.

However, Shao Yan is even more beautiful and charming.

The moment she appeared, everyone's eyes were on her.

Even Huo Xiao's godfather, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was taken aback, especially since Shao Yan hadn't dressed up in any special way.

She attracted everyone's attention from the moment she arrived, relying solely on her natural good looks.

In comparison, Lan Yan's face looks much more vulgar.

"Ah Xiao, you have good taste."

These words were spoken by Huo Xiao's godfather.

Huo Xiao had been holding Shao Yan's hand the whole time since they came in, and he hadn't let go.

"This is...my sister-in-law?"

Si Zhao could hardly believe that Huo Xiao had such a beautiful wife by his side.

"Ahhhhh—"

When Qi Yanli saw Shao Yan's face clearly, he instantly let out a mesmerizing screech, like that of a groundhog.

"You're not the one from the bar that night? You two are really together?"

Qi Yanli recognized Shao Yan.

Because she left such a deep impression on Qi Yanli.

That night, Huo Xiao and Shao Yan disappeared together. Later, Qi Yanli secretly looked for Shao Yan, but unfortunately, nothing came of it.

He was very upset about this for a long time.

Qin Mu was the least surprised, but he was surprised that he wasn't the first to know.

"You already knew?"

Qin Mu looked at Qi Yanli, his voice somewhat cold.

"They did a good job keeping it a secret; they didn't even let me know."

The prayer ceremony was still infuriating.

"How was I supposed to know they were together? We've only known each other for less than a month."

Lan Yan, who had been sitting calmly, completely changed her expression upon hearing these words.

She didn't get a good look at Shao Yan at the hospital that day. She had heard rumors before that Huo Xiao had a woman by his side, but she didn't take them seriously.

I didn't expect it to be true, and she's the kind of beautiful woman that even women can't help but take a second look at.

Lan Yan couldn't hold back any longer, and they got together and married in less than a month.

Thinking of this, the look in her eyes as she looked at Shao Yan could chop her into pieces.

Lan Yan and Huo Xiao met in college and became boyfriend and girlfriend. They even lived together for at least five years.

Everyone knows she's his girlfriend, but he never touches her, let alone promises to marry her.

Why should I get married to this woman after knowing her for less than a month?

Lan Yan looked at Huo Xiao: "Xiao, aren't you going to introduce your wife to us?"

Huo Xiao held Shao Yan's hand for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Shao Yan".

Lan Yan's pupils suddenly contracted as she remembered Jiang Huai'en's words.

Huo Xiao's beloved woman's name contains a character that sounds the same as her "Yan".

No, it couldn't be the woman in front of me.

She doesn't believe it.

Lan Yan's eyes were almost filled with anger.

"Oh, what a coincidence! My name is Lan Yan. Is the 'Yan' in Shao Yan's name the same as the 'Yan' in mine?"
