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

The door opened, and Han Yifei walked in, holding an urgent document.

Only Huo Xiao and Shao Yan were in the office.

There's also a hint of ambiguity that's hard to define.

Both of them were neatly dressed and maintained a proper distance.

Han Yifei glanced sideways at the camera above Shao Yan's head. Shao Yan gently smoothed her hair behind her ear, pretending to look at a document.

Huo Xiao did not leave, but instead focused his attention on the documents in Shao Yan's hands.

Han Yifei didn't treat Huo Xiao as an outsider and spoke directly.

"This time it's a collaboration with the Meng Group. As per President Shao's request, we've officially entered the signing stage. President Meng has already signed, and we're the only ones left."

Shao Yan glanced at it and signed her name without hesitation.

Huo Xiao stood to the side, his eyes instantly turning cold.

Shao Yan felt Huo Xiao staring at her intently from the side, but she ignored him.

"You two talk things over, I'm leaving now."

Huo Xiao strode out.

His back view was filled with ferocity and murderous intent, which even Han Yifei noticed.

"Mr. Shao, are you sure you want to cooperate with the Meng Group?"

Shao Yan handed him the documents: "Why not make money if you can?"

There are still many areas for future cooperation. If she doesn't do this, how can she gradually incorporate her past achievements into the Fit and completely devour the Meng family?

Han Yifei chuckled a few times and glanced at the camera in the upper right corner.

Shao Yan could no longer pretend she hadn't seen it; her face flushed slightly.

"This is broken, I'll take responsibility for fixing it."

"The cost of the camera will be sent to Attorney Huo via invoice; Mr. Shao doesn't need to worry about it."

Han Yifei took the contract and left.

Shao Yan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

After Han Yifei left, Shao Yan sat quietly in her chair. Meng Yu had lost the military's cooperation project, and now everyone in Beicheng was insecure, and no one dared to cooperate with him.

She was thinking about the project she had just worked on, where she partnered with Meng Yu on a Fit at a price 20% lower than the original price, and sure enough, he eventually gave in.

She thought that Meng Yu's days were about to become much harder.

Shao Yan was right. At that moment, Meng Yu was at the Meng family's old house, and the old man had a huge tantrum at him.

"Where is Shao Yan? I heard from Wang Shuo that she's been missing for over half a month. Does she want to quit?"

Meng Yu lowered his head, not daring to say that he had fired her.

"She wanted a vacation, and I granted it."

"Just because she's pregnant doesn't mean she doesn't have to work. She holds 10% of the company's shares and thinks she can just lie around doing nothing. What are you, the company president, good for?"

Meng Yu's pupils contracted sharply. Pregnant?

"Whose child is she carrying?"

Even if he's already crippled, how can you still cut off his green hat?

The old man was stunned at first, then he got angry.

"Didn't you ask her to be a surrogate for you and that woman from the Pei family? Last time she got the pregnancy test results, I already transferred 10% of my shares to her."

Meng Yu was also stunned.

"Impossible, she promised me we'd talk about this again in three months."

The old man reacted immediately and grabbed anything he could find, throwing it at Meng Yu.

Meng Yu was unable to dodge in time and was hit on the head, bleeding profusely.

"Find her, dig three feet into the ground, find Shao Yan for me. She holds the company's shares, which means she holds our lives in her hands. If you can't find her, you're fired and get out of here."

The old man was so angry he almost couldn't breathe. Meng Yu pressed his forehead with a gloomy face, his hands clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands snaking like snakes.

Shao Yan actually managed to trick the old man; she's really got some nerve.

Meng Yu called Shao Yan, only to find that she had blocked him.

At this point, Meng Yu became even angrier, and he drove directly to the Shao family's old residence.

Aunt Wu stood guard at the door, preventing him from coming in.

"Mr. Meng, Miss Meng instructed that you can just tell me if you need anything, and I will pass it on to her."

A faint blue tinge appeared under Meng Yu's eyelids.

He's now so angry he could kill someone.

"Where is she now? I need to see her."

Aunt Wu shook her head: "I'm the young lady's maid, how would I know where she is? You should make a call."

Wu Ma ignored him and turned to leave.

Meng Yu stood in the cold wind. He rarely smoked, but he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few deep drags.

He knew he couldn't wait for her any longer, so he stepped on the gas and drove away.

When Shao Yan finished get off work, Huo Xiao didn't come to pick her up, but she didn't think much of it.

When she got home, she was surprised to find Huo Xiao standing in front of the French windows, holding a glass of red wine, with his back to her, standing motionless.

He gave her the same feeling as when she got drunk because of Lan Yan.

Shao Yan glanced at him briefly, not intending to disturb him, and went straight upstairs.

"He came back and didn't even say hello."

It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head; he instantly caught sight of Shao Yan.

She gave him a gentle smile.

"I'm going upstairs to change my clothes."

Shao Yan walked upstairs with elegant steps. Huo Xiao stared at her back and crushed the wine glass in his hand, blood gushing out.

Huo Xiao went upstairs again, and Shao Yan was lying on the bed with her back to him.

He knew she wasn't asleep, and he had no intention of bothering her.

Two hours ago, Lan Yan sent another threatening message, saying that if he didn't divorce Shao Yan, they would all die together.

He knew that with Lan Yan's crazy personality, she was capable of doing what she said.

Qu Ao is about to enter the cabinet to participate in the election, and his influence abroad has grown even stronger.

Huo Xiao can protect himself, but he can't protect Shao Yan 24 hours a day.

Shao Yan kept her eyes closed until Huo Xiao got into bed and pulled her into his arms, and she remained motionless.

Huo Xiao quietly held her all night without doing anything else.

Shao Yan felt uneasy and a little strange, but she quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Huo Xiao got up first. He personally picked out a long blue dress for Shao Yan and gave her a blue diamond necklace.

"I'll take you to the auction later."

Shao Yan did not accept his gift and spoke calmly.

"We just signed a contract, and today is the celebration banquet."

She seemed to be deliberately provoking Huo Xiao, knowing that he had seen the contract between the Fit and the Meng Group yesterday.

Huo Xiao took out his phone, which showed a picture of a coral carved from jade.

"Where did you get it?"

Just as she was about to take his phone to take a closer look, Huo Xiao took the opportunity to pull her into his arms.

"So, is the contract more important, or are you coming to the auction with me?"

After thinking for a moment, Shao Yan said, "Let's go to the auction."

Those were her mother's old collection, and she wanted them.

Huo Xiao released her, his eyes cold: "Change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Shao Yan obediently put on the clothes he gave her, and after changing, she called Han Yifei to tell him that she couldn't attend the celebration banquet today and that he should deal with Meng Yu and the executives of the two companies on his own.

Han Yifei, holding his phone, habitually tapped his back teeth: "What a coincidence, the Meng Group also canceled. Secretary Meng Yu said he's not free today."
