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

In the end, Shao Yan compromised.

Huo Xiao took care of Shao Yan the whole time, his hands were constantly busy, and he also had to deal with other people.

Huo Xiao would nod and answer when asked questions.

But to outsiders, Attorney Huo's mind was entirely on this stunningly beautiful female CEO.

"Mr. Han, this is the person our Attorney Huo cherishes most. You'll have to take good care of her from now on."

Across from him, Song Huaicheng, who had drunk a little, made a teasing remark, slightly tipsy.

His gaze lingered on Shao Yan's face.

Han Yifei took a sip of wine and said, "President Shao came to the company not through any connections, but because she was handpicked by the president of Fit. She is an invaluable talent and is currently the second-in-command at Fit."

Speaking of support, it is I who need more guidance from our General Manager Shao in the future. Just two days ago, General Manager Shao led our colleagues in the technical engineering department to overcome a problem that had plagued us for many years. Her abilities are evident to all, and I trust our boss's judgment.

Han Yifei quickly cleared up the misunderstanding and embarrassed those who questioned Shao Yan.

Having met with a lukewarm response, Song Huaicheng wisely stopped pursuing Han Yifei and instead turned his attention to Huo Xiao.

"Attorney Huo, Ms. Shao is so beautiful, aren't you worried about her being alone outside?"

Song Huaicheng smiled maliciously: "If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I wouldn't want her to show her face in public. I would definitely build her a golden house and keep her there so she could go shopping and buy whatever she wanted. Why would she have to come out and compete with men for food?"

Many people's expressions changed upon hearing Song Huaicheng's words; this man had drunk too much and was starting to speak recklessly.

His blatant advances toward Shao Yan were quite obvious.

He just wanted to show off his superiority, as if to say that if Shao Yan were to be with him, he would make sure she lived a life of luxury and never let her work.

Many people were worried for Song Huaicheng, because few people in Beicheng dared to mess with Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao took a small sip of wine, his expression indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Shao Yan lowered her head and focused on eating the shrimp that Huo Xiao had just peeled for her, completely ignoring Song Huaicheng.

Han Yifei spoke up for Huo Xiao.

"I appreciate Mr. Song's kindness on behalf of our Ms. Shao, but the reason Ms. Shao was able to take the second position at Fit is because the project plan she brought to us is worth one billion. As far as I know, Mr. Song, even with your real estate holdings, you haven't reached that level of wealth yet. Our Ms. Shao probably can't afford it."

Song Huai originally wanted to show off, but he didn't expect to end up in such an embarrassing situation.

Huo Xiao took out a wet wipe and slowly wiped his fingertips, then turned to the side and whispered in Shao Yan's ear.

"Go back, huh?"

Shao Yan disliked these kinds of dinner parties and couldn't wait to leave.

"Excuse me, everyone, please enjoy your meal. Councilor Gao, I must take my leave now."

Huo Xiao pulled Shao Yan away from her seat, but when they reached the door, Shao Yan shook off Huo Xiao's hand.

"Attorney Huo, can you be serious for once?"

Shao Yan had just been in a very awkward situation. Huo Xiao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and looked at her indifferently.

Do you think it's improper for me to pursue you?

Shao Yan instantly lost her temper after hearing those words, but this didn't seem like he was pursuing her at all; it was clearly an official announcement.

"You know Meng Yu was there."

Huo Xiao lit his cigarette with a "pop," took a deep drag, and scoffed coldly.

"So that's why. I thought Miss Shao was just pretending to be serious."

He threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and stomped it out, then grabbed the back of her head with one hand, forcibly pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.

Shao Yan couldn't dodge in time and fell into his arms.

Today, Shao Yan was dressed very formally, exuding a powerful aura, but she couldn't hide her unique feminine charm.

She was completely covered up, which Huo Xiao found rather amusing.

Huo Xiao held her and kissed her for a full five minutes before letting go. Shao Yan's face was flushed, and her already bright red lips became swollen, making her look even sexier.

"You don't seem like a chaste and virtuous woman to me. You love Meng Yu, yet you also want to sleep with me. Miss Shao, were you faking your passion in my bed last night?"

"Snap—"

A resounding slap landed directly on Huo Xiao's face; this was the first time Shao Yan had hit someone with such force.

And the other party was none other than Lawyer Huo, who was feared throughout Beicheng.

Shao Yan's eyes were slightly red.

"Huo Xiao, don't think I won't sue you just because you're a lawyer. You've challenged my bottom line time and time again, and I'm not afraid of you."

Huo Xiao wore a cold smile, his words carrying a hint of mockery.

"Sue me? Didn't you beg me to help you with your divorce? Why are you suddenly reluctant to let go of that man?"

Huo Xiao suddenly pressed her against the wall, looking down at Shao Yan and encircling her in his arms, freeing one hand to pinch her delicate chin hard.

"You care about Meng Yu that much?"

Shao Yan was wronged by him, and she was both aggrieved and stubborn, refusing to let her tears fall.

"It's not that I care about Meng Yu, it's that you care about your niece, right? Because you know, once Meng Yu really recognizes me, he'll think I've cheated on him with someone else, and then he'll have even more suitable reasons to divorce me. And as the person involved, you can testify on his behalf, ensuring I don't get a single penny from the Meng Group, right?"

Huo Xiao looked down at the helpless yet feigning strength woman in front of him and smiled.

His voice was deep and magnetic, and Shao Yan felt his entire chest tremble. She felt even more embarrassed and wanted to push him away, but Huo Xiao remained as still as a statue.

"I'm not that despicable."

Shao Yan looked up in surprise and realized that Huo Xiao was serious.

She didn't actually need to prove her feelings for Meng Yu to anyone.

From the moment she discovered Meng Yu's affair with Pei Rongrong, her heart was completely chilled.

"Aren't you very resentful? You're clearly Meng Yu's wife, yet another woman is sitting next to him. He betrayed you by going to Rongrong, and now being with me is seen as having an affair. Aren't you feeling wronged?"

Shao Yan looked at Huo Xiao stubbornly.

"I didn't think that way."

"Then you still love Meng Yu?"

"I haven't loved him for a long time. He's already your niece's man, don't worry, I won't fight her for him."

Huo Xiao gave a soft "heh," reached out and hooked her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"That's good. I don't like it when my woman is with me and she's thinking about someone else."

Shao Yan was stunned. When did she agree to be his woman?

"Attorney Huo, do you love me?"

Shao Yan felt she must have lost her mind to ask that question.

Huo Xiao stared at her intently for a long time, so long that Shao Yan wondered if she was being a little silly.

"I don't love it."

He said.

Upon receiving this answer, Shao Yan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Xiao spoke very softly: "People like us don't know how to love."

Shao Yan paused for a moment, carefully considering his words.

But undeniably, she felt that Huo Xiao made a lot of sense.

Indeed, by now, Shao Yan also feels that she can never fall in love with any man again.

Huo Xiao abandoned her and walked straight ahead, his back view conveying a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Therefore, Attorney Huo has also loved others.

right?
