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

Aside from Huo Qingyue and her husband, Pei Rongrong almost screamed.

"Impossible, Uncle. You clearly love Sister Lan Yan the most. You can't marry another woman."

Pei Hong spoke up.

"Rongrong, stop fooling around."

Huo Qingyue also looked at Pei Rongrong and scolded, "Last time your uncle came to the house, he told me that he and Miss Shao had registered their marriage. The reason I invited you two to dinner today is to discuss the wedding with Miss Shao."

Huo Qingyue was speaking to Shao Yan this time.

"We are, after all, A-Xiao's family. We can't treat you badly after you marry A-Xiao. We'd like to hear your thoughts."

Lan Yan, who was listening nearby, turned deathly pale in an instant.

Meng Yu also glanced at Shao Yan suddenly, somewhat dazed.

This Miss Shao actually married Huo Xiao? It must be a lie.

Last night at the bar, Huo Xiao was clearly still hugging his ex-girlfriend. Did Shao Yan not know that he was still entangled with his ex-girlfriend and was deceived?

But now that this woman has come to the Huo family's banquet, why hasn't Shao Yan woken up yet?

Meng Yu was in a hurry, but he couldn't just bring it up directly.

He's Pei Rongrong's boyfriend. What kind of talk is this, saying things like that to Shao Yan? If things go wrong, Huo Xiao will definitely have a problem with him.

Shao Yan thought they were just there for dinner. Huo Xiao hadn't told her about the wedding. Given her situation, she couldn't have a big wedding anyway, and besides, her marriage to Huo Xiao was a sham.

Did Huo Xiao not tell Huo Qingyue?

She thought Huo Xiao would say that he married her for Pei Rongrong's sake.

Although she wasn't actually married to Meng Yu, her existence was a threat to Pei Rongrong. Now that she was Huo Xiao's wife, Pei Rongrong could smoothly marry Meng Yu.

Perhaps Huo Qingyue was worried and wanted to force her to finalize the marriage with Huo Xiao.

No matter what, Shao Yan was unwilling.

"No rush. Yan Yan is now the vice president of Fit, and her career is on the rise. We'll arrange the wedding later."

Huo Xiao sensed Shao Yan's unease. Regardless of what she was thinking, since she was unwilling now, he wouldn't force her.

Everything is based on her wishes.

Huo Qingyue was extremely surprised: "You're married but still working outside? Ah Xiao, what's wrong with you? With your current abilities, can't you even support a wife? Do you really need her to work so hard and show her face in public?"

Shao Yan understood that a wealthy woman like Huo Qingyue would never understand her thoughts.

She didn't want to rely on a man to live; those three years with Meng Yu were her best lesson.

A woman must have her own social value; otherwise, when a man abandons her, she will no longer even have herself.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yan's face suddenly turned sarcastic. She glanced at Huo Xiao, the vice president of Honda Fit, which meant that Shao Yan had no ability at all and only got into the company because of Huo Xiao's connections.

Instead, she went to Huo Xiao's sister to establish some kind of strong female lead persona.

Lan Yan hadn't spoken until now, but she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ms. Shao is truly capable. However, Ah Xiao used to be Fit's legal counsel. With that connection, it's no surprise that Ms. Shao is a vice president. Ah Xiao, don't you agree?"

Back then, Lan Yan also desperately wanted to prove herself. It was still a man's world, and women could only live a better life under a man's thumb.

Huo Xiao ignored Lan Yan and took Shao Yan's hand, portraying deep affection to the fullest.

"I also advised her not to go, but she wanted to have her own space."

Lan Yan wanted to continue smearing Shao Yan and elevating herself, but Shao Yan suddenly felt nauseous, covered her mouth, and left her seat.

"I'll go take a look."

Pei Rongrong immediately volunteered to stand up. Huo Qingyue asked with a mixture of doubt and delight, "You're not pregnant, are you? That's perfect, you don't have to go to work anymore, you can stay home and raise the baby. You're not getting any younger, you'll be thirty in a few years, you can't waste your whole life on someone who isn't worth it."

The implication of these words, referring to Lan Yan, is quite clear.

Lan Yan had no time to pay attention to Huo Qingyue; she was thinking about Shao Yan. Could she really be pregnant with Huo Xiao's child?

Pei Rongrong followed closely behind Shao Yan and blocked her at the door when she came out of the restroom.

"You're such an inconsiderate woman! Didn't you see my uncle's ex-girlfriend is back? Why aren't you giving up your seat? Do you even know that my uncle was with Sister Lan Yan last night? Don't you feel embarrassed about being so offensive?"

Shao Yan looked at Pei Rongrong. Before, she thought that Pei Rongrong was Huo Xiao's niece and had wanted to get along with her. But since Pei Rongrong was so aggressive, she shouldn't blame her for being impolite.

Shao Yan looked at her, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Did President Meng tell you that his ex-girlfriend is back and has become the first secretary in the Song Group's secretariat? That woman is capable and beautiful, far superior to a rich girl like you. She's back now. We even had dinner together at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission yesterday. Shouldn't Miss Pei be sensible and step aside?"

Pei Rongrong immediately exploded upon hearing this: "What nonsense are you spouting? Since she's my ex-girlfriend, of course A-Yu doesn't love her anymore. Now she's my boyfriend, why should I give in?"

Shao Yan looked coldly at Pei Rongrong: "So Miss Pei knows that A Xiao is still my husband, so I have even less reason to give in."

She deliberately touched her stomach: "I'm already pregnant with your uncle's child. What does that Lan Yan have to compare with me?"

After saying that, Shao Yan pushed Pei Rongrong aside and walked towards the restaurant.

Pei Rongrong was furious, but she had no time to care about Shao Yan. She was wondering if what Shao Yan said was true. Meng Yu's ex-girlfriend was back, and they even ate together. Why didn't he tell her?

Shao Yan returned to her seat, and Huo Xiao held her hand tightly: "Are you alright?"

Shao Yan shook her head, about to answer that she was fine, when Huo Xiao suddenly announced.

"Ayan is pregnant, she's been pregnant for over two months."

All the words Lan Yan wanted to say to put Shao Yan down got stuck in her throat.

She waited until Pei Rongrong returned to her seat, hoping she could ask her for help, but Pei Rongrong called out to Meng Yu with a dark face.

"Come with me for a moment."

Meng Yu was munching on some melon seeds when Pei Rongrong called on him. He reluctantly got up and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Rongrong and Meng Yu went to the side hall.

Pei Hong and Huo Qingyue were overjoyed when Huo Xiao told them that Shao Yan was pregnant.

Only Lan Yan felt extremely bitter at this moment.

She picked up her wine glass and stood up: "Ah Xiao, I wish you and Miss Shao a long and happy marriage."

After finishing his drink, he slammed the glass down on the table and said, "Excuse me, I've disturbed you today. I'm leaving."

Lan Yan rushed out in a daze, and Shao Yan glanced at Huo Xiao.

He didn't even glance at Lan Yan, but simply helped Shao Yan pick out the dishes she liked to eat.

Huo Qingyue didn't want to pay any attention to Lan Yan. She hadn't invited her in the first place, and Lan Yan had just come here to humiliate herself.

Meanwhile, Pei Rongrong and Meng Yu started arguing, with Pei Rongrong saying that he was seeing his ex-girlfriend without telling her, which meant something was definitely up.

Meng Yu could only desperately try to explain.

Huo Qingyue, Pei Hong, Huo Xiao, and the young couple Shao Yan chatted and laughed, seemingly unaffected by Lan Yan's presence.

They were eating when the Pei family's butler suddenly rushed over in a panic.

"It's terrible, sir and madam! Miss Lan was hit by a car on her way out and is bleeding a lot. You should go and see her right away!"
