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

Huo Xiao didn't go up to the rooftop again, but the servants dutifully rearranged it.

All those high-end ingredients that had been wasted were reused.

Shao Yan sat there alone and ate all the expensive, melt-in-your-mouth delicacies.

Without Huo Xiao around, her appetite improved.

She heard the sound of cars in the courtyard downstairs. Shao Yan finished the last bite of her meal, elegantly put down her fork, and sneered.

He probably got upset here and went to find Lan Yan.

I was so aroused by her that I couldn't sleep well tonight if I didn't contact Lan Yan.

Shao Yan lightly wiped her lips and stood up.

When she went downstairs, she saw Huo Xiao sitting on the sofa in the lobby, playing with a lighter in his hand and looking at her with a gloomy expression.

Shao Yan ate the large piece with a satisfied expression.

She was startled when she was met with the man's sour face.

Didn't he just leave?

Did you enjoy your meal while I was away?

Shao Yan quickly composed herself and said seriously.

"That's too expensive. You must have spent a lot of money and don't want to waste it."

Huo Xiao snorted softly, his hands not stopping.

He played with the lighter so skillfully that he finally threw it onto the coffee table with a thud.

"Mrs. Huo, you've really grown up."

The words contained too much meaning, and Shao Yan lowered her eyes slightly, pretending not to understand.

"I'll go run you a bath."

She turned and went upstairs, her movements clearly indicating that she was trying to escape.

Huo Xiao stared intently as her figure disappeared down the winding staircase, a surge of frustration welling up in his throat.

Wow, that's impressive, they dared to mess with him.

Huo Xiao took out his phone and made a call to Han Yifei.

"What has Shao Yan been busy with these past few days?"

Han Yi was drinking with someone at a bar when he saw Huo Xiao's call and found a quiet place to answer it.

"There are company matters to attend to, and also someone to deal with."

Huo Xiao frowned: "Meng Yu?"

Han Yifei gently pinched the tender buttocks of the girl who passed by him: "No, it's Song Qingyan."

After going upstairs, Shao Yan quickly snuggled into the blankets.

Fortunately, Huo Xiao did not follow.

Her heart was pounding, afraid of being discovered.

She thought she had angered Huo Xiao today, and he would definitely not come into the room again.

That's good; at least she achieved her goal.

However, Huo Xiao returned to his room in the middle of the night.

Shao Yan was already fast asleep.

She was breathing evenly and sleeping very soundly.

Huo Xiao slowly walked to the bedside and looked at her. Under the moonlight, Shao Yan's skin was so white that it almost blended into the moonlight.

Against the backdrop of dark gold sheets, the exposed skin shimmered with a jade-like luster.

Huo Xiao stared intently at her sleeping face, teasing him to the point of near loss of control, only to be kicked to the bottom at the crucial moment.

This woman has gotten so bold as to play him, and she even sleeps soundly afterward. He's been too lenient with her.

He stared at her for a while, then went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he immediately lifted the covers and crawled into bed.

Shao Yan was having a dream. In her dream, a child hugged her neck tightly and called her "Mommy." She laughed happily, but when she opened her eyes, she met eagle-like eyes in the darkness.

"Which random man did you dream about? You were laughing so happily."

Huo Xiao almost jealously suppressed the smile on her face.

He didn't believe that Shao Yan could still have feelings for him after knowing so much.

With all those actions on the rooftop, he once thought she had also fallen for him, but it turned out that she mentioned Lan Yan when he was most moved.

She was truly something else; she made him feel so guilty that he felt like he was less than an animal if he touched her.

pity--

Shao Yan miscalculated; when it comes to understanding and manipulating people's hearts, she is still far from capable.

Don't you work?

Shao Yan was startled, but Huo Xiao wouldn't let her dodge. He reached out and grabbed her waist, making her press close to his body, which was as hot as a furnace.

Feeling his body temperature coming from her, Shao Yan's face also became hot.

"Work is nothing compared to spending time with my wife. Yan Yan, you just seduced me, don't you want to get away with it?"

Shao Yan couldn't help but blush when she thought about her bold actions on the rooftop earlier. She had done so much to annoy him and make him feel disgusted, but she didn't expect him to realize it so quickly.

When Shao Yan thought of Meng Yu's words, that he and Lan Yan already had a child, a wave of nausea almost surged up. She forcibly suppressed her morning sickness and made herself appear perfectly normal.

"How could that be?"

Shao Yan reached out and hooked her arm around his neck. Huo Xiao gazed at her face, which was so beautiful that it seemed to change the very heavens and earth, in the darkness, as if trying to see every inch of her skin clearly.

"That's good, Mrs. Huo. Let's not waste any more time on this romantic night."

He no longer hesitated to pull her out of her thin nightgown.

Now Shao Yan couldn't hide even if she wanted to. Fortunately, Huo Xiao didn't punish or torment her as she had imagined. He treated her very gently and tenderly, as if she were some rare treasure.

The gentler he was, the more hatred Shao Yan felt.

If it weren't for Lan Yan, and if Meng Yu hadn't told her those things, she might still be sinking into the love trap he set for her.

She is no longer the Shao Yan he knew. He killed that woman who valued love above all else and was driven by love.

Huo Xiao and Shao Yan made love all night. In the morning, when Shao Yan woke up from her dream, she still wanted to prepare breakfast for him.

She had barely moved when Huo Xiao reached out and pulled her back into his arms.

He rubbed his slightly stubble-covered chin on top of her head.

"The housework is done by Sister Wei and the other servants, Mrs. Huo only needs to keep me company."

Shao Yan lay in his arms, looking at his slightly open dark eyes, and smiled gently.

"Then I have to get up and go to the company too."

She no longer craved his tenderness; it was poison, and she would not be doomed to eternal damnation again.

Huo Xiao had no choice but to let her go, and Shao Yan put on her clothes one by one in front of him.

Huo Xiao noticed that she was wearing a hazy blue cashmere suit and looked shrewd and capable.

It has to be said that Shao Yan looks like a strong career woman, which Huo Xiao finds quite charming.

He lay reclining on the bed, glancing at her with a hint of mockery in his words.

"Is Mrs. Huo trying to pull off a uniform fetish by wearing this outfit?"

"..."

Shao Yan tidied her hair, looked back at him gently, and didn't say anything.

Is there anything else in this man's head besides that?

Huo Xiao felt a little bored when she ignored him, but the more indifferent she was, the more alluring she became to him.

He changed the subject.

"What did the boss say after the meeting?"

Shao Yan tied her long, wavy hair into a high ponytail, instantly making her look more refreshed.

He said he hoped I would spend more time at work in the future, take fewer days off, and slack off less, otherwise he would let me resign on my own.

Shao Yan smiled gracefully at Huo Xiao.

"Will Attorney Huo drive me to work later?"

Huo Xiaozheng paused for half a second before answering.

"it is good."

Thinking of her nonsense just now, his expression turned cold, a mocking smile curving his lips as he scoffed.
