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

Watching Meng Yu's departing figure, Shao Yan realized how foolish she had been to do something out of anger.

When this matter reached the old man's ears, what would he think?

An email popped up on my phone screen.

When Shao Yan opened the email, there was only a simple sentence inside.

"Ms. Shao, welcome to Fit. We have received your email. Please wait patiently for the interview."

Shao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The Honda Fit was the Meng family's arch-rival. If she hadn't poured all of her mother's money into it back then, the Meng Group would have been acquired by the Honda Fit long ago.

Unexpectedly, the company she had painstakingly suppressed and seized ended up becoming her last shield.

After get off work, Shao Yan was in a good mood and made plans with Qu You.

The two went to a very romantic French restaurant. Qu You ate heartily while complaining about how expensive the food was.

A black lacquered piano was placed in the center of the restaurant, and Shao Yan went up and played a piece.

She wore a white dress, her shoulders slightly exposed, and her black wavy hair swayed gently behind her with her movements, creating a beautiful and romantic scene.

As the music ended, a round of applause came from the side and behind.

Shao Yan turned her head slightly, and her gaze met that of the man in the corner.

Huo Xiao raised his glass of red wine to Shao Yan in a toast, his elegant and refined posture making him stand out even more.

Just as Shao Yan was wondering how to react, Huo Xiao took the initiative to come over to her and Qu You.

"Miss Shao, you don't mind having another person, do you?"

Before Shao Yan could speak, Qu You immediately answered for her.

"Attorney Huo, you're too kind. We haven't even started yet. Please, have a seat."

She lied through her teeth, quickly finished off the dishes in front of her, and raised her hand to let the waiter clear the table.

"I have something to attend to. I'll trouble Attorney Huo to take my friend home later."

Qu You ran faster than a rabbit, and whispered something to Shao Yan before leaving.

"Remember the 20 million order I told you about last time? One of them was introduced by Attorney Huo. Do your best, my future depends on you."

Shao Yan blushed slightly, unsure if Huo Xiao had heard her.

Huo Xiao sat down calmly opposite Shao Yan. Perhaps it was because he was so tall and had such long legs, but under the table, Shao Yan felt as if his knees were touching hers again.

Shao Yan tried to move her body to the side, but she still couldn't escape and had to give up.

"Attorney Huo, what a coincidence."

Huo Xiao glanced at the thin snowflakes fluttering outside the window and gave a faint smile.

"What a coincidence! Perhaps we are destined to meet."

Shao Yan remembered that the gift Qu You gave her last time was from Huo Xiao.

Could that scoundrel Qu You have told Huo Xiao whereabouts?

If she asked Huo Xiao, he definitely wouldn't admit it.

However, this way of pursuing women is too old-fashioned.

"Attorney Huo, about what I told you last time..."

Shao Yan was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.

Huo Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Let's talk about romance, not work."

Undeterred, Shao Yan tried to sway Huo Xiao's conscience: "I can pay double the lawyer's fees."

Huo Xiao raised an eyebrow, then suddenly lost interest.

The way Shao Yan played the piano just now was indeed very attractive to men.

But she refused again and again, and Huo Xiao's patience was almost exhausted.

After all, he wanted more than he needed women.

Her originally sexy and alluring voice had become somewhat cold.

Huo Xiao's gaze was indifferent: "Is Miss Shao very wealthy?"

Shao Yan took out a card, which actually had no money in it, but she couldn't lose face.

Once we win the lawsuit, we'll naturally have the money.

"The lawsuit is worth three million. After obtaining my husband's assets, I will receive a percentage as a separate commission."

Huo Xiao remained silent, and the atmosphere between the two instantly became somewhat awkward.

"Hey, Uncle, you're eating here too. Is this your girlfriend? She's so pretty."

If it weren't for always running into Pei Rongrong, Shao Yan wouldn't know what it means to have enemies on a narrow road.

Afraid of being recognized, she instinctively turned her face to the side, only to bump into Huo Xiao's broad chest.

He was sitting right across from her, but when did this man move to her side?

Huo Xiao gently pulled Shao Yan into his arms.

"Your aunt is a little drunk. I'll take her home first."

Pei Rongrong and Meng Yu were having dinner on the second floor when she was drawn in by the sound of the piano.

Curious to see who was playing, I ended up running into Huo Xiao.

Meng Yu followed, and Huo Xiao had already taken Shao Yan into his arms.

Her long hair covered her face, and half of her face was pressed tightly against Huo Xiao's.

Shao Yan could clearly feel his heart beating strongly beneath his chest.

"How long do you plan to stay nestled in my arms?"

Shao Yan realized that Huo Xiao had already taken her into the car and immediately tried to push him away.

However, the arm around her waist seemed to tighten its grip even more.

"Miss Shao, it's not very ethical to use someone and then throw them away."

Even in the dimly lit car, Huo Xiao's handsome facial features were still faintly discernible.

His deep eyes looked at the dog with such affection that Shao Yan's heart fluttered slightly, and the unique emotions unique to women within her quietly awakened.

"Thank you, thank you—"

Shao Yan pulled away from his embrace, but he grabbed her chin with one hand, his free fingertips gently stroking her soft, fair face, the gesture ambiguous and full of allure.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Huo Xiao's warm breath brushed against Shao Yan's face, and the temperature inside the car instantly soared. Shao Yan felt a surge of heat within her, and her face also became hot.

He seemed unwilling to miss the delicate touch of her skin, stroking it as he moved closer to her.

Shao Yan thought he wanted to kiss her, but to her surprise, he only touched her nose to hers, his voice ambiguous and extremely seductive.

"Attorney Huo, Attorney Huo—"

Shao Yan swallowed, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I like hearing you call me Huo Xiao, or—Xiao!"

Shao Yan tried for a long time but couldn't open her mouth. Finally, under the gentle massage and pressure of his fingertips, her red lips actually let out a soft moan that even she herself found embarrassing.

Huo Xiao's movements stopped abruptly, and the sudden distance he created made Shao Yan feel uncomfortable.

Thinking he would make another move, Shao Yan resigned herself to her fate.

She has no leverage to stand up to Old Master Meng right now, and Huo Xiao is her lifeline.

"They're gone. You can go down now."

The cold voice was completely different from the man who had just been so affectionate.

Shao Yan was still a little dazed when the electric scooter door slowly opened.

"Ms. Shao, I don't like to force people to do things they don't want to do."

He made it very clear: what he wanted was for Shao Yan to willingly climb into his bed.

In the midst of a snowy, cold winter, Shao Yan thought that Huo Xiao would at least take her back like last time.

However, this ruthless and repressed man was so realistic that he wouldn't even look at her again because she didn't want to have a relationship with him.

Huo Xiao's car had driven quite a distance when even his assistant couldn't stand it anymore.

"Attorney Huo, are you really not going to see Miss Shao off?"

"You want to give it to her?"

The assistant dared not speak.

Huo Xiao took out a cigarette case from his pocket, lit one, and put it in his mouth.

The firelight illuminated his sharply defined face.

Shao Yan is the most stubborn and principled woman he has ever met.

Huo Xiao eagerly awaited the day she would submit to him.

After all, things that are too easy to use are rarely able to arouse people's desires.

Huo Xiao was also calculating how long it would take before Shao Yan would willingly be with him.
