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

Huo Xiuyuan carried Shen Tang into the room next door.

The room was very clean, and the bedding had been changed.

Huo Xiuyuan placed her on the bed, bent down to take off her shoes, pulled a thin blanket over her, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

Shen Tang turned over, reached out and hugged Huo Xiuyuan's waist, muttering something unintelligible.

Huo Xiuyuan pulled her hand down and helped her lie back down.

"Mmm~ Don't touch me—"

Shen Tang frowned and slapped Huo Xiuyuan's thigh while grumbling.

Huo Xiuyuan let out a muffled groan, his face flushed red. He raised his hands to protect himself and looked helplessly at Shen Tang.

Shen Tang leaned closer again, her hand slipping under her clothes and touching her hard, hot abs. A smile curved her lips.

Huo Xiuyuan sat there helplessly, letting her stroke him.

......

About an hour later, Shen Tang slowly woke up.

She blinked, saw the unfamiliar surroundings, looked down at the blanket covering her, and suddenly sat up.

Huo Xiuyuan sat at the table next to her, watching her lift the blanket to check her clothes, and said coldly:

"Now you know fear?"

Shen Tang turned her head sharply and saw Huo Xiuyuan, exclaiming in shock, "You, what are you doing here? Where is this?"

"It's time to go back." Huo Xiuyuan stood up, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang took it and drank it, still feeling a little dizzy.

"Where are Sister Manny and Zhiyi?" Shen Tang asked.

Huo Xiuyuan knelt down to put her shoes on, then looked up at her. "You brought her out, and you're asking me?"

Shen Tang pursed her lips, "Anyway, it's your mother and your fiancée."

Huo Xiuyuan stood up and took the water glass from her hand. "She's not my fiancée!"

Shen Tang stood up, still feeling a little dizzy. Huo Xiuyuan grabbed her arm.

"Can you walk?"

"Of course, no problem. This little bit of wine is nothing." As soon as Shen Tang finished speaking, she felt a cold arrow shot towards her.

Huo Xiuyuan said coldly, "You like drinking that much?"

"No, not at all," Shen Tang said guiltily.

"Next time we drink, I'll drink with you. No need to sneak around," Huo Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

Shen Tang's heart was like a leaf falling into a calm lake, creating ripples.

"Huo Xiuyuan, you're so kind." Shen Tang hooked her arm around his and nestled against his shoulder.

"Let's go, the military base is about to close," Huo Xiuyuan said.

The two had just stepped out of the room when they ran into Gu Siming.

Gu Siming glanced at Shen Tang's face a few times, then his gaze returned to Huo Xiuyuan.

"Not bad, you've got good stamina," Gu Siming said with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Xiuyuan interrupted in a deep voice.

Shen Tang raised her hand to look at her watch and said to Gu Siming, "You overestimate him."

How do you know it's an overestimation?

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her with deep eyes, then wrapped his arm around her lower back and lifted her up a little.

Shen Tang bit her lip and, emboldened by the alcohol, said, "Then let's wait until our wedding night to see."

Gu Siming frowned. "You two are even more of a hooligan than me. I admit defeat."

"How are the two of them?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

Gu Siming glanced at the next room. "They're all asleep. I brought them blankets. Don't worry, they're fine."

"I'm leaving the person to you. Let's go back first." Huo Xiuyuan put his arm around Shen Tang and started to walk out.

"You really trust me!" Gu Siming said from behind.

Huo Xiuyuan didn't turn around, but raised his hand and waved at him.

The two went out the back door, and it was already dark.

Shen Tang leaned unsteadily against Huo Xiuyuan's chest. Huo Xiuyuan was helping her get into the car when a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and grabbed Shen Tang's other arm.

"Let her go!" the man shouted coldly.

Huo Xiuyuan reacted quickly, pulling Shen Tang half a step behind him and coldly watching the newcomer.

"I told you to let her go!" The man took another step forward, trying to grab Shen Tang's arm, but Huo Xiuyuan blocked him.

"She's drunk, you can't take her away," the man said angrily.

"Who are you?" Huo Xiuyuan's voice turned cold. "Whether I take her or not is none of your business."

"How can it have nothing to do with me? I think you're just trying to be a pervert, trying to pull a young girl into your car because she's drunk. You're no good."

"Shen Tang, come here quickly!" the man shouted to Shen Tang.

As he spoke, he walked over and grabbed Shen Tang's arm.

The night breeze sobered Shen Tang up a bit, and she recognized the man in front of her as Chen Zhongyi.

"you......"

Before Shen Tang could finish speaking, Huo Xiuyuan's fist had already landed on Chen Zhongyi's face.

Chen Zhongyi was knocked off balance, turned around, clenched his fists, and charged forward.

The two quickly began to fight.

Chen Zhongyi was no match for Huo Xiuyuan. Putting aside the age difference, Huo Xiuyuan also had the advantage in height and physique.

Chen Zhongyi was punched several times by Huo Xiuyuan and pinned to the ground. Huo Xiuyuan raised his fist to smash it into Chen Zhongyi's face.

"Stop!" Shen Tang suddenly shouted.

Shen Tang walked over and pulled Huo Xiuyuan, "Let go of him."

Although Huo Xiuyuan was puzzled, he still let go of Chen Zhongyi and stood up. He blocked Shen Tang's side and looked at Chen Zhongyi warily.

Chen Zhongyi's gaze swept over Shen Tang and Huo Xiuyuan, and he could tell that Shen Tang and Huo Xiuyuan knew each other.

He got up from the ground and looked at Huo Xiuyuan, asking, "Just how much alcohol did you make her drink?"

"He didn't force me to drink it; I drank it myself," Shen Tang said calmly.

Chen Zhongyi frowned at Shen Tang and said, "A girl should be chaste and self-disciplined. How could you..."

"What's it to you?" Shen Tang replied after he finished speaking.

From the first moment she saw Chen Zhongyi, she felt that he was somewhat inexplicable and strange, and the way he looked at her was even stranger.

Chen Zhongyi paused for a moment, his lips moved, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

He swallowed hard. "I... I just wanted to show you some concern."

"By what right do you care about me? You're someone who received a favor from my father?" Shen Tang looked at him. "And have you been following me?"

"No," Chen Zhongyi lowered his eyes, then raised them again, "I'm leaving here, so I came to see you."

Shen Tang looked at him and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Her tone softened a bit, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, I'll just see where things take me." Chen Zhongyi forced a smile.

He looked at Huo Xiuyuan, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Shen Tang nodded. "Yes, we're getting married soon."

Chen Zhongyi looked at Huo Xiuyuan and nodded, "Good, not bad. He can fight and protect you. With him, you won't be bullied."

His eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he lowered his head to wipe his face.

"Take good care of her," he said, looking at Huo Xiuyuan.

Huo Xiuyuan looked into his eyes, his gaze darkening.

He felt like he'd seen this person somewhere before.

Chen Zhongyi looked deeply at Shen Tang, as if he wanted to remember her.

"I'm leaving." He turned and strode forward.

As Shen Tang watched his retreating figure, a sudden pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

Huo Xiuyuan took her arm and said, "Get in the car."

Shen Tang got into the car, rolled down the window, and took a deep breath, but her chest still felt tight.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

"I drank too much alcohol, and my chest feels tight."

Shen Tang turned her head and looked back, but the street corner was dark and there was nothing there.

Chen Zhongyi leaned against the wall at the corner, watching the car drive away, tears streaming down his face.

"Chen Zhongyi?" someone shouted.

Chen Zhongyi turned his head and saw three tall, strong men walking over.

The three men were clearly not respectable people; they had cigarettes dangling from their lips and their shirts half-open.
