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

Shao Yan, arm in arm with Huo Xiao, forced herself to go inside.

All eyes were on the two of them, and the men who had been surrounding Pei Rongrong also began to turn their attention to Shao Yan.

"It's Vice President Shao."

"Vice President Shao is so beautiful, and she's also very capable."

"To be able to win over Huo Xiao, the notorious lawyer in our northern city, Mr. Shao's charm is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

I heard that Attorney Huo had a white moonlight, the kind of love that made her madly in love, but I never expected she'd still fall for our CEO Shao.

The teasing was unabashed; they all treated Huo Xiao and Shao Yan's affair as an endless romantic escapade.

"Do you think Attorney Huo and President Shao will get married?"

"Of course not. I'm Attorney Huo's niece. My uncle is just playing around with her. Who would want such a fickle woman?"

Feeling jealous at having her attention taken away, Pei Rongrong looked at Shao Yan. She returned to Meng Yu's side, and Meng Yu's gaze also tightened when he saw Huo Xiao standing next to Shao Yan.

He didn't expect Huo Xiao to shamelessly follow him to the company's formal banquet.

Isn't he afraid of being criticized?

Huo Xiao, however, took Shao Yan's arm and walked directly toward Meng Yu, because Han Yifei was also coming this way.

"Attorney Huo, you've come to the wrong place. This is a celebration banquet for Honda Fit and the Meng Group. What is your capacity here, Attorney Huo?"

Meng Yu spoke first, instantly shattering his dream of having a private chat with Shao Yan.

In this situation, Huo Xiao had the nerve to join in the fun.

Huo Xiao glanced coldly at Meng Yu.

Pei Rongrong walked over and greeted him warmly, "Uncle."

"Rongrong is my niece. She's the president's assistant at your Meng Corporation and also your girlfriend. By seniority, shouldn't you call me 'uncle' too?"

After saying that, Huo Xiao hugged Shao Yan tighter in his arms: "Call her 'Auntie', after all, Mr. Shao and I are a legally married couple."

Meng Yu's face turned pale instantly.

Everyone around stared wide-eyed with curiosity, but Shao Yan was the most embarrassed.

Huo Xiao announced their marriage to the public without any warning, and she didn't even have time to prepare herself.

Pei Rongrong was somewhat afraid of Huo Xiao, and despite her dissatisfaction with Shao Yan, she could only suppress her displeasure and awkwardly call her "Aunt."

Huo Xiao nodded, his gaze returning to Meng Yu.

"President Meng? Don't you know how to greet people?"

Meng Yu felt a lump in his throat; he would never utter the word "aunt" from his mouth.

"Lawyer Huo, would you mind if I borrow President Shao for a moment?"

Han Yifei appeared just in time to help Meng Yu out of the predicament, and Huo Xiao took him directly to the podium and stood guard by his side.

Meng Yu had absolutely no chance of getting close to Shao Yan; his handsome face was as cold as the glacier of Mohe.

Shao Yan delivered her speech, which she had prepared for several days. Her slender white fingers gripped the microphone, and her voice was melodious and pleasant. Everyone watched with bated breath.

The stage lights dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on Shao Yan. She stood there, radiant and dazzling, so much so that everyone was unable to look away.

After giving a brief speech, Shao Yan returned to Huo Xiao's side.

"Mrs. Huo, you did a good job."

In public, Huo Xiao openly put his arm around her waist and spoke to her with a submissive and intimate manner.

The rest of the process was much simpler. Han Yifei and Meng Yu both delivered speeches about the cooperation between the two companies.

The ball that followed was the highlight, and everyone stared intently at Shao Yan the entire time.

Although she was a high-ranking company vice president, her beauty was enough to embolden anyone to ask her to dance.

Unfortunately, no one dared to lay a finger on the beauty beside Huo Xiao in front of him.

Therefore, the opening dance was handed over to Shao Yan and Huo Xiao.

The two glided onto the central dance floor together. Shao Yan was a little reserved at first. She had been in a wheelchair for three years, and dancing had become a luxury for her.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Huo Xiao pressed his face against hers and danced a waltz with her to the melodious music.

Shao Yan was surprised to find that Huo Xiao was also a skilled dancer despite his serious and meticulous appearance.

The two looked like a perfect match, causing everyone to stop talking and focus on admiring their dance.

Meng Yu stood to the side, his wine glass almost crushed in his hand.

Shao Yan —

She was originally his wife.

Her legs, once so ordinary, now shone brightly as she danced with Huo Xiao, captivating everyone's hearts.

Meng Yu seemed to hear something inside his heart shatter, along with his thoughts, being smashed into pieces.

He had no idea when Shao Yan regained feeling in her legs; she had kept it from him for a long time.

If she hadn't been in that state in front of him, how could he have chosen Pei Rongrong without even glancing at her when he woke up after Zeng Qier left?

It's all Shao Yan's fault.

She deliberately hid it from him.

Meng Yu gulped down the cocktail in his hand, but a glass of fruit wine could not quell the turmoil and restlessness in his heart.

"Ayu, let's dance a song together later."

Pei Rongrong was itching to watch; she couldn't let Shao Yan steal all the limelight, after all, she was the future Mrs. Meng.

While her uncle's reputation might be feared in the legal world, Pei Rongrong is poised to become a rising star in both the business and political spheres.

Shao Yan can never compare to her.

"it is good."

Meng Yu slammed the wine glass onto the tray, then pulled Pei Rongrong up and slid onto the dance floor.

With President Meng leading the way, many people were itching to dance and dragged their partners onto the field.

When the song ended, Huo Xiao led Shao Yan away, taking her to the rest area and considerately getting her a non-alcoholic beverage.

"Mrs. Huo, you danced very well."

He stared intently at her, at her long, partially exposed legs.

Shao Yan's cheeks were flushed. Having been away from the stage for so long, she had almost forgotten that her teacher had once described her as a once-in-a-century talent in the dance world.

She sacrificed far more than a little when she saved Meng Yu.

If her mother hadn't died and she hadn't become disabled, she might have been able to realize her own dream on stage.

However, times have changed, and she can never return to that dream place.

"fine."

She answered modestly.

Huo Xiao took off his coat and covered her legs.

"Let's rest a bit longer and then leave through the back door, okay?"

Huo Xiao's eyes were filled with lust when he looked at Shao Yan; even in this setting, he made no attempt to hide his desire for her.

Shao Yan understood what he meant and blushed in a place where she thought no one was watching.

However, her shy appearance not only made Huo Xiao's heart itch, but Meng Yu, who was searching for Shao Yan's figure at all times, also took in Shao Yan's expression.

Frustrated, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. The wisps of smoke carried his thoughts back to the three months after he woke up.

Shao Yan seemed to be the same way, appearing incredibly shy in front of him, bustling around for him, and even calling him "Yu" in a very gentle voice.

However, at this very moment, the woman is lying seductively in someone else's arms.

The cigarette ash in Meng Yu's hand had accumulated to a long length, and the embers had burned off, but he didn't feel any pain even when it burned his fingertips...
