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

Shao Yan sat quietly in the private room the whole time. During the meal, Qu You called to arrange a time to celebrate her birthday.

She refused, saying she had plans with Huo Xiao, which made Qu You very happy.

Shao Yan sat for over an hour until Huo Xiao called. Only then did she come to her senses, staring at her phone with icy eyes for a long time before finally answering.

"Where are you?"

Huo Xiao sounded very nervous.

When no one answered the phone, he almost went to the company to find the person.

"Restaurant, Huo Xiao, I can't stay with you today."

She had a lot to say to her mother.

When her mother was still alive, whenever she encountered something unpleasant, her mother would stay by her side to comfort her.

Today, she still only has her mother.

After today, she will send her mother to a safe place for burial, and she will never see her again.

Huo Xiao remained silent for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and did not insist.

"it is good."

He said that after hanging up the phone, Huo Xiao looked at Cheng Qian and said, "Go to Dayang Restaurant."

Shao Yan's phone has a GPS tracker, so he could easily find her location.

Today is her birthday. Who does she have plans with?

Is it Meng Yu or someone else?

Huo Xiao's face was tense. Cheng Qian could tell from the rearview mirror that his boss was in a bad mood, so he revved the engine without saying a word.

Shao Yan watched as time ticked by, and finally got up.

She went to pay the bill, but ran into Meng Yu and Zeng Qi'er.

The two seemed to have just arrived. Zeng Qier and Meng Yu were acting intimately, which made Shao Yan a little flustered when she caught them in the act.

Zeng Qi'er didn't expect to run into him here, but she wasn't as scared as Meng Yu.

He simply smiled and said, "Mr. Shao, what a coincidence. Who did you come with? Attorney Huo?"

Shao Yan curled her lips, ignoring Zeng Qier but looking at Meng Yu instead.

"Mr. Meng is quite charming; he can be someone's fiancé while also dating his ex-girlfriend."

Meng Yu's last wish was to be misunderstood by Shao Yan, so he blushed slightly and argued.

"Don't misunderstand, I was just discussing something with Secretary Zeng. President Song will be here soon."

Shao Yan's expression hardened. If Song Qingyan came, she would easily be exposed. She had no intention of staying here any longer and snorted coldly.

"Mr. Meng's affairs are none of my business. Whatever makes you happy."

Zeng Qi'er was also quite nervous, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shao Yan seemed to be leaving.

Meng Yu let Zeng Qier go to the private room first, but he followed Shao Yan.

Shao Yan noticed and turned around, amused.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Meng?"

Meng Yu hesitated for a moment before asking, "You and Attorney Huo are really married?"

Shao Yan raised the ring on her right ring finger: "Would President Meng like to see the marriage certificate?"

Meng Yu said awkwardly, "I just think a woman like President Shao deserves a better man."

Shao Yan's sarcasm grew stronger: "Oh, so President Meng means my husband isn't good enough? Then who's the better man, you?"

Meng Yu ignored her sarcasm: "I heard from Rongrong that Attorney Huo and Miss Lan have been in a relationship for a long time, and I also heard that Miss Lan is pregnant with his child, and is already two months along."

When Shao Yan heard this news, even though she had mentally prepared herself countless times, she could accept anything related to Huo Xiao calmly and without caring.

But when it actually happened, she realized she wasn't strong enough to truly be indifferent to everything.

Shao Yan forced herself to stay upright, trying her best not to let her emotions show.

"So, what is President Meng trying to say?"

Looking at Shao Yan's calm expression, Meng Yu was almost furious.

Even if Attorney Huo has children with other women, would you still be willing to continue being his wife?

Shao Yan found it absurd: "What does this have to do with President Meng? Every man has his share of scandals. Even if what you're saying is true, so what? I'm still Mrs. Huo."

Or did Miss Lan send you to tell me this? If so, she might be disappointed. Please tell her that no matter what happens, I will not divorce Huo Xiao.

If she wants to be Mrs. Huo, then please tell her to give up on that idea.

After speaking these words with difficulty, Shao Yan felt somewhat weak.

Meng Yu's face turned deathly pale, not only because of Shao Yan's words, but also because he saw Huo Xiao slowly walking towards them.

"Do you really think that way?"

Huo Xiao heard it all; he heard Shao Yan's words, but for some reason, he felt no joy whatsoever.

Shao Yan turned around and saw Huo Xiao.

She suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed.

Meng Yu tried to help her up, but missed.

Huo Xiao pulled Meng Yu into his arms, his gaze filled with extreme disrespect.

"Mr. Meng, do you really want to marry Rongrong or do you have other intentions? Please mind your own business. If I hear you gossiping about my wife again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Meng Yu's cooperation with the military is over, and he no longer needs to be subservient to Huo Xiao.

"Attorney Huo, Rongrong and I are in love, and I can't stop you if you want to break us up. But deceiving President Shao is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Huo Xiao held Shao Yan in his arms, a fierce look between his brows.

"Instead of wasting time judging my character, you should think about how to clean up your own mess. President Meng has a secret wife, so you'd better deal with this matter as soon as possible, or don't blame me, as your uncle, for ruining your good time."

He carried Shao Yan away without looking back, leaving Meng Yu standing there with his fists clenched, wishing he could rush up and fight Huo Xiao, then snatch the woman from his arms and take her for himself.

Compared to Huo Xiao, what exactly is Meng Yu lacking? Why does that stunning beauty not even glance at him?

Zeng Qi'er heard the commotion outside, but she didn't dare to come out.

Only when there was no sound did she peek out and find Meng Yu standing there, furious and enraged.

Huo Xiao took Shao Yan home, and only after she woke up slowly did the worry on his face gradually fade away.

"I called Qin Mu and asked him to come and check on you."

She was perfectly fine, how did she suddenly faint?

When Huo Xiao saw Shao Yan and Meng Yu chatting, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, thinking that Shao Yan had already revealed her identity to Meng Yu.

I thought they were getting back together.

Only when they got closer did they realize that Meng Yu, that jerk, had actually betrayed Shao Yan in front of her.

Oh--

If it weren't for Shao Yan being a scapegoat for the Meng family all these years, he would have cleaned up the Meng Group long ago.

"No need, I'm fine. It's just a little low blood sugar, no need to trouble Dr. Qin."

Shao Yan remained calm; if she appeared nervous, Huo Xiao would definitely notice something was wrong.

It turns out that Lan Yan is pregnant with his child, which explains his disappearance these past few days.

Shao Yan was relieved that she hadn't completely fallen for him yet. As long as she didn't let her heart sink any further, she could extricate herself unscathed.

Are you sure?

Huo Xiao held her hand, and even though he was lying in a warm bed, he found that her hand was as cold as ice.

Shao Yan nodded, and even lifted the covers to get out of bed.

"See, I'm alright now, aren't I?"

Huo Xiao picked her up and, as he put his arm around her waist, he suddenly realized that she seemed to have gained a lot of weight and was quite fleshy.

"I've prepared a little surprise for you, Mrs. Huo—"
