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

Shao Yan hugged him, not wanting him to continue.

That must have been a sad story, and only then did she realize that Huo Xiao's personality wasn't inherently cold; it was because he had experienced too much and had long since lost the ability to warm others.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Shall we go back? Ah Xiao, I'm a little cold."

Huo Xiao held her tightly in his arms, while Cheng Qian waited for them at the hotel entrance.

Shao Yan and Huo Xiao returned to their villa.

It was already late at night when she suddenly received a call from Meng Yu.

"Where are you?"

Meng Yu sounded like he was drunk.

Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Shao Yan brought the phone close to her lips and lowered her voice.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Meng Yu's eyes turned utterly cold.

"Shao Yan, I'm giving you three minutes to get to the company right now."

You need to decide on my relationship with Rongrong quickly. My patience is running out. Or have you actually been seeing another man behind my back and are you just playing me for a fool?

When Meng Yu went to the banquet, he looked at Shao Yan next to Huo Xiao and felt that something was wrong.

Because every move Shao Yan makes is so similar to that cripple.

Aside from appearance, no, to be precise, Meng Yu couldn't remember what the cripple looked like either.

All he knew was that the woman was always in a wheelchair, her thick bangs covering most of her face, and she seemed to wear glasses.

No, it seems like she's not wearing her glasses.

Meng Yu really couldn't remember.

He only wanted to confirm one thing: whether there was any connection between the cripple and Huo Xiao's wife, Shao Yan.

Or perhaps, he had a bold idea: they were the same person.

Is she Meng Yu's secret wife of many years?

Meng Yu was drunk and made a whole bunch of threatening remarks on the phone.

"Meng Yu, if you really get drunk, I'll call Pei Rongrong right away and tell her you're harassing me. Do you think she'll suspect our relationship and go looking into it?"

After Shao Yan finished her threats, Meng Yu sobered up considerably.

He didn't know why he changed after meeting Shao Yan today.

He feels he's becoming increasingly abnormal.

"Mrs. Huo, would you like to shower together?"

Shao Yan was startled when Huo Xiao suddenly opened the bathroom door and made a sound, so she immediately hung up the phone.

But it was too late; Meng Yu heard it.

The phone went dead. Meng Yu was certain he wasn't hallucinating from being drunk.

That was Huo Xiao's voice he just heard, wasn't it?

Was the cripple addressed as "Madam" by Huo Xiao, or was that cripple actually Shao Yan?

Exhausted, Meng Yu returned to the Meng family home.

Zhou Fang felt heartbroken seeing Meng Yu so drunk.

"What's wrong with you? Where's Rongrong? She's the future Mrs. Meng, doesn't she know how to keep an eye on you? Letting you drink like this?"

Reminded by his mother, Meng Yu suddenly grabbed Zhou Fang's hand.

"Where's Shao Yan? Ask her to come out and make me some hangover soup. She always makes me hangover soup when I get drunk."

Zhou Fang looked at Meng Yu as if he were a monster.

"I think you've really drunk yourself into oblivion. That woman moved out of the house a long time ago."

Meng Yu was completely sober this time.

He looked at Zhou Fang: "She moved out? Who gave her permission to move out? She's my wife. She left the Meng family without even saying goodbye?"

Meng Yu went berserk and threw a huge tantrum, even Meng Guo'er looked at him in shock.

"Brother, are you crazy? He was a cripple, so what if he's gone? What's the big deal?"

Meng Yu felt a lump in his throat.

He wasn't sad that the cripple was gone; he was just afraid that the cripple was Shao Yan. Today, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission sent a notice that both the Meng Group and the Song Group had failed to be selected.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) project ended up in Fit's hands. The reason is that Shao Yan helped resolve the previous hacking incident, upgraded and strengthened the security system, and guaranteed that Fit would provide the SASAC with lifetime free after-sales service.

Meng Yu connected this series of events to the fact that the system program he sold to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was designed by Shao Yan and her team. What a coincidence!

Women with the same name as the cripple Shao Yan can also skillfully work with the programs Shao Yan wrote, and they are remarkably similar.

These days, whenever Meng Yu closes his eyes, all he can see in his mind is Shao Yan's face.

He felt they were the same person, a thought that was driving him almost insane.

"When did she leave? Why didn't you stop her?"

Every time Meng Yu saw Shao Yan, he felt she became more and more familiar.

So, he deliberately went home today to see if she was really her.

He wanted to uncover her face, which had been hidden by her bangs for years, and see if she was indeed the woman he had been dreaming of.

If that's the case, then Shao Yan could never belong to Huo Xiao.

She is his woman.

Meng Yu became more and more excited as he thought about it.

Meng Guo'er pouted: "The day after you brought Rongrong home, she wisely moved out. Knowing that you were about to divorce her and marry Pei Rongrong, anyone with a shred of decency would know to leave."

Meng Yu was startled; he remembered.

I'm currently negotiating my engagement with Pei Rongrong with the Meng family. So what if that cripple really is Shao Yan?

Should he try to catch her and reunite with her?

Meng Guo'er looked at Meng Yu with great confusion and some oddity.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You've suddenly become interested in that cripple. Are you thinking of backing out?"

Zhou Fang became anxious upon hearing this.

"What are you going to back out of? How can that cripple compare to the young lady of the Pei family? Let me tell you, you'd better find a way to get the old man to agree to your divorce quickly."

Zhou Fang was extremely anxious when she heard that Meng Yu and Shao Yan were still married.

What if the two families sit down to discuss the engagement?

Meng Yu sat on the sofa. He looked dejected and showed no joy at the prospect of marrying Pei Rongrong.

"Shao Yan and I never registered our marriage. My grandfather mentioned it to me after I woke up, but I didn't go."

Zhou Fang was overjoyed when she heard this.

"What did you say? You two haven't registered your marriage? That's fantastic news!"

Meng Guo'er also plopped down next to Meng Yu.

"Brother, that's great! Does that mean Pei Rongrong is going to be my sister-in-law soon?"

At that moment, Shao Yan was holding her phone, her mind blank as she stared at Huo Xiao walking out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her standing there blankly, Huo Xiao asked, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Shao Yan didn't dare say it was Meng Yu; she lied.

"It was Han Yifei calling, telling me to go to the company early tomorrow."

Huo Xiao didn't suspect anything. Instead, he snatched the phone from her hand and carried her into the bathroom.

"We can talk about work tomorrow, Mrs. Huo. Shouldn't you be focusing on feeding me right now?"

Shao Yan patiently let him torment her for half the night.

The next day, Shao Yan didn't go to the company, but rushed to the hospital to get her pregnancy report.

Meng Yu must have some suspicions about her; this child seems to have arrived at a very opportune time.

The old man said that if she agreed to help Meng Yu with surrogacy, he would transfer 10% of the shares of the Meng Group to her.

She has no choice but to take the risk and go to the old man's place with the pregnancy test report.
