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

Huo Xiao slowly pulled out a tissue and wiped away the water stains that she had sprayed on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Shao Yan frowned, almost laughing in anger.

"Attorney Huo, this joke isn't funny at all."

Is he a virgin?

That's a lie.

Even if Shao Yan had never had a relationship with a man, she had secretly watched those kinds of movies with a group of horny female classmates during her university years.

When Shao Yan first saw it, she was completely dumbfounded.

Huo Xiao didn't seem like a man who hadn't experienced sexual relations at all; she believed him if he had been celibate for a long time.

She would never believe him if he said he had never touched a woman.

Huo Xiao brought the teacup to his lips, raising an eyebrow: "Don't believe me?"

Shao Yan coughed lightly: "Attorney Huo's skills are quite good—"

You know everything.

Huo Xiao carefully put down the cup and stared at Shao Yan for a long time.

"I learned it from adult films, is that a fair explanation?"

Shao Yan's face was incredibly red, as if she had been dipped in a steam bath.

"Mrs. Huo, you haven't answered me yet."

"What?"

Shao Yan was getting incredibly agitated. He said it was his first time with her, which meant he had never touched his ex-girlfriend.

Can we trust him?

Shao Yan's heart was pounding for no reason, and she couldn't concentrate at all. Her mind was filled with Huo Xiao saying that he was still a virgin before he touched her.

"Take responsibility for me."

"..."

Shao Yan was somewhat unconvinced.

"This is my first time with you too, shouldn't you take responsibility for me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shao Yan almost wanted to bite her tongue off.

Huo Xiao sat down next to her without her noticing. He reached out and gently stroked her beautiful face, then smiled and kissed her.

"Marrying you is taking responsibility for you, you silly girl."

Shao Yan felt a tightness in her chest after finishing her meal, so they were on their way to buy a ring.

Huo Xiao held her hand tightly from the moment he got into the car.

Shao Yan glanced at him. His words were full of affection, and his eyes were so tender even when he looked at a dog. Shao Yan couldn't understand how his words had suddenly turned into a promise to take responsibility for the other person.

Are all lawyers as despicable as Huo Xiao?

Shao Yan was so caught up in his words that she didn't even realize it until it was too late.

He sat in the car, his phone constantly vibrating.

Shao Yan couldn't hold back any longer.

"Aren't you going to check the phone?"

Huo Xiao smiled faintly: "Buying a ring for my wife is the most important thing; everyone else has to step aside."

Shao Yan was touched by his words.

She couldn't help but think of Meng Yu. Ever since he woke up and learned that they were husband and wife, he hadn't given her a second glance.

It was as if she were something shameful, let alone her wedding ring.

Now that she knows she and Meng Yu were never married, Shao Yan has become more at ease.

In her mind, marriage is the most sacred thing, a vow between two people who love each other to protect each other for life.

It is sacred, and unique.

Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong being together really disgusted her.

She almost lost the happiness she could dream of for a lifetime because of them.

She was very fortunate to have met Huo Xiao during her most unfortunate time.

Even knowing they were fake, Shao Yan would rather be tricked by Huo Xiao than be Meng Yu's blood bag again.

He doesn't deserve it.

Huo Xiao spent the entire afternoon with Shao Yan browsing rings in the jewelry section.

Every time she takes a fancy to one, she finds another one who is even prettier.

Sometimes, having too many choices can be overwhelming.

In the end, Huo Xiao actually bought all the styles she liked.

"You can wear one on your wrist for seven days, or you can wear them all if you really like."

Shao Yan discovered that Huo Xiao also had a humorous side, which made her both laugh and cry.

With rings on all ten fingers, is she from a boutique?

Huo Xiao's phone rang again. Shao Yan said seriously, "Are you really not going to answer it? Is it something urgent from the law firm?"

In front of Shao Yan, Huo Xiao took out his phone, which had at least fifty missed calls.

Forty-two of them were from Pei Rongrong.

The other eight were unimportant phone calls.

Shao Yan accidentally saw Huo Xiao's phone screen, where Pei Rongrong's name was flashing incessantly.

Her face darkened slightly: "If it's because it's inconvenient for me, I can avoid it."

It was indeed inconvenient to answer Pei Rongrong's calls when I was with her.

Huo Xiao truly regarded Meng Yu as his nephew-in-law.

Shao Yan tried to leave, but Huo Xiao pulled her back.

"Who said you're not available?"

He even put it on speakerphone.

Pei Rongrong heard Huo Xiao's voice and grasped at it like a lifeline.

"Uncle, where are you right now? Please come to my house quickly. My mom has gone crazy. She's going to beat me to death."

The sound of Pei Rongrong crying came from inside. Shao Yan originally did not intend to listen, but the sound did not seem fake. Pei Rongrong was so favored, how could Huo Qingyue bear to hit her?

"Your aunt and I are out shopping and can't come over for now. I'll come over when I'm done with my work."

He hung up on Pei Rongrong before she could finish speaking.

Shao Yan was initially unhappy, but hearing Pei Rongrong cry so pitifully, her heart, which had been bullied by Pei Rongrong, felt a little better.

It's unclear what happened to Pei Rongrong that forced her to ask Huo Xiao for help.

As Huo Xiao's aunt, Shao Yan should have advised him to go and see what had happened.

However, at the company, Pei Rongrong smashed her mother's jade Buddha, and Shao Yan didn't want to talk to her.

"Is there anything else you want to buy, to go with you?"

Huo Xiao didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Shao Yan hadn't originally intended to go shopping, but out of a sense of revenge, she affectionately linked arms with Huo Xiao, saying, "Okay."

At the Pei family home, Pei Rongrong wailed and dodged Huo Qingyue's whip.

However, Huo Qingyue showed no mercy whatsoever. Every lash of her whip landed precisely on Pei Rongrong, making her cry out for mercy and beg for forgiveness.

"Tell me, are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Huo Qingyue had never before wanted to strangle Pei Rongrong with her own hands.

Pei Rongrong cried so much that her makeup was ruined.

"Mom, I'm your daughter, are you really going to kill me?"

Huo Qingyue was so angry that she burst into tears: "If I don't beat you to death, I'm afraid I'll get my hands dirty. I really wish I had never had a daughter like you."

Pei Rongrong covered the welts on her skin and cried out, "It was you and Daddy who insisted on sending me abroad. That's how things are there. Is it all my fault?"

Huo Qingyue was furious and pointed the whip at her.

"Still being stubborn? Did I send you abroad to study so you could mess around with other people? Three, three men, five women. You are—"

Huo Qingju looked at the offensive photos in the document and felt so angry that she felt dizzy.

"No wonder you agreed to Meng Yu finding a surrogate. When did you remove your uterus? Do you even know what kind of surgery that is? You'll never have the chance to be a mother again. Are you trying to make me angry, you unfilial daughter?"

Huo Qingyue was so heartbroken that she could barely stand.

Pei Rongrong, however, seemed unconcerned.

"If I don't want to be a mother, I don't want to be a mother. What's so great about having children? Anyway, Mengyu said he'll find someone to take care of it. Mom, can you just leave my affairs alone?"
