She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Shen Tang hooked her arms around his neck and obediently let him carry her to the bed.

Huo Xiuyuan's warm, large hand slid down to her lower abdomen and gently massaged it.

"The clothes are hung out to dry, remember to collect them tomorrow," Huo Xiuyuan said.

"Mmm." Shen Tang closed her eyes slightly.

"Bring over any dirty clothes you have these next few days, and I'll wash them for you. The disaster relief efforts are nearing their end, and we should be moving back soon," Huo Xiuyuan said in a low voice.

"Mm," Shen Tang replied.

Huo Xiuyuan lowered his head and kissed her lips. "You're being good now."

Shen Tang didn't say anything more and drifted off to sleep.

Shen Tang opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the grassland, surrounded by darkness and without a single person in sight.

"Huo Xiuyuan—" she called out, but no one answered.

"Am I dreaming?" Shen Tang wondered to herself.

Suddenly, a pair of bright green eyes popped out from the bushes ahead—it was a wolf.

Even though it was a dream, Shen Tang still felt her hair stand on end, and she slowly backed away.

The wolf stood there motionless, just staring at her.

Hearing a noise behind her, Shen Tang turned around abruptly, only to see several wolves rushing towards her.

"Ah—" Shen Tang woke up with a start.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Xiuyuan came in from outside the tent carrying a bowl of noodles, and quickly put down the bowl and went over to hug her.

Shen Tang hugged Huo Xiuyuan tightly around the waist, "I had a nightmare, several wolves were trying to eat me..."

Huo Xiuyuan gently patted her back and softly comforted her, "It's alright, don't be afraid, dreams are just dreams."

Shen Tang nestled in his arms, her emotions gradually calming down.

She rarely dreamed before, so why are her dreams so vivid now?

She recalled a dream she had of soaking in a hot spring with Huo Xiuyuan, and felt a tingling sensation in her heart.

"Huo Xiuyuan..."

Shen Tang slipped her hand inside his clothes, and Huo Xiuyuan's abdomen involuntarily tightened.

"Stop fooling around..." Huo Xiuyuan tilted his head slightly and exhaled.

Shen Tang looked up at him. "I once had a dream in which you were."

Huo Xiuyuan looked down at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "What did you dream about me about?"

"I dreamt that..." Shen Tang's hand wandered over his chest, "that we were soaking in a hot spring together, and then..."

Her hand slid down along the lines of the leather and fastened the belt.

Huo Xiuyuan braced himself on the bed, looking at her with deep eyes. He did not stop her movements, but his eyes were so dark they could swallow a person whole.

"And then what?" Huo Xiuyuan's voice was hoarse.

Shen Tang bit her lip. "And then, I did it."

Huo Xiuyuan grasped her hand tightly, gazing intently at her. "Are you satisfied?"

Shen Tang's lips moved closer, lightly pecking his Adam's apple. "I just don't know, in reality..."

"Shen Tang, you are simply—" Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and bit her.

"ah......"

Shen Tang took a deep breath. "Huo Xiuyuan, you bastard, you bit me hard."

Huo Xiuyuan suddenly stood up. "Eat noodles."

He served the noodles on the table to Shen Tang.

"You're going to give me the bottom?" Shen Tang looked at him and smiled.

Huo Xiuyuan frowned, his ears practically bleeding, "Shen—Tang—"

Shen Tang laughed and said, "Let's eat noodles, let's eat noodles."

"Hurry back after you finish eating." Huo Xiuyuan turned his back and stood there, letting out a few heavy breaths.

While eating her noodles, Shen Tang asked, "Commander Huo, why aren't you sitting down? Is there no room?"

Huo Xiuyuan rubbed his temples, turned around, and walked towards Shen Tang step by step.

"Are you really not afraid of... going too far?"

Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan's waist, pursed her lips, and quickly turned her face away.

"I...I'll eat noodles."

Huo Xiuyuan let out a breath and slowly sat down beside him.

"Is it good?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

"Mmm, delicious," Shen Tang said, taking a sip of the soup. "Did you put mushrooms in it?"

Huo Xiuyuan nodded, "It was given to me by the villagers when I went down to help with disaster relief."

"So fresh, so delicious. Huo Xiuyuan, you're too outstanding! Not only are you handsome, but you also have such a great physique. And to make matters worse, you cook so well."

Huo Xiuyuan's lips curled up in a wide smile from the praise, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did.

"Not only is the food delicious, but even..." Shen Tang's gaze shifted downwards, "...that thing is just as good."

Huo Xiuyuan's face turned cold, and he pinched Shen Tang's cheek. "Can't you eat in peace?"

Shen Tang pouted, "Yes."

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her rosy lips and couldn't resist giving her a kiss.

"I'll submit my marriage application as soon as I get back," Huo Xiuyuan said, staring at Shen Tang. "The military will allocate me a family compound, and you can move in then. We can be together every day, so don't beg for mercy then."

"Then—the bed has to be sturdy. Otherwise, it won't be able to withstand your roughhousing."

"How would you know if you haven't even tried?"

"I tried it in my dream."

"How about we try it now?"

Huo Xiuyuan said, and then fastened his hand to her belt.

"No, I... I want to go back to sleep." Shen Tang pushed him away and ran out of the tent.

She had only run a few steps when she remembered something and turned back.

Huo Xiuyuan sat upright, with a towel covering his legs.

"By the way, Lang Kabasan is coming to deliver beef jerky tomorrow. Are you there?" Shen Tang asked.

"Yes, I'm here," Huo Xiuyuan replied.

Shen Tang smiled. "Continue."

"Shen Tang!" Huo Xiuyuan shouted angrily.

Shen Tang ran off in a flash, leaving Huo Xiuyuan staring at the door, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Early the next morning, Huo Xiuyuan led his soldiers to help the disaster victims repair their houses.

Huo Xiuyuan was only wearing a military green vest, and the eyes of young women and wives kept glancing at him.

Several older women had come over to propose marriage by morning, and Huo Xiuyuan had no choice but to call Shen Tang over.

"Why did you call me here?" Shen Tang asked.

Huo Xiuyuan pulled Shen Tang into his arms and said loudly:

"This is my boyfriend, Shen Tang. She's an excellent member of the performing arts troupe. We're getting married when we get back."

"What are you doing?" Shen Tang asked in a low voice.

"Oh my, no wonder she looks down on others, this girl is really pretty," an older woman said with a smile.

"Exactly! Look how well these two match! They're... what's it called again? A perfect couple!" someone chimed in.

Langkabasan's grandmother walked over, frowned at Shen Tang, and asked, "What's going on? You have a boyfriend?"

Shen Tang nodded and said, "Yes, I have a boyfriend. Yesterday I..."

"You have a boyfriend now, and you even came home with my grandson Langkabasan yesterday? You're such a shameless woman!" Langkabasan's grandmother frowned and shouted loudly.

The smiles on the faces of those around them also disappeared, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"What on earth is going on? Langkabasang is a fine young man around here. He has pastures and yak herds, and he's strong, but he's too picky and doesn't like anyone. This girl went home with someone... this..."

Just then, Langkabasan arrived driving an oxcart.

"I'm here!" Langkabasan shouted.
