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

After Li Meihua finished speaking, she walked past Shen Tang without stopping.

Shen Tang met her expectant gaze and a sense of unease flashed through her mind.

What kind of trouble is Li Meihua up to now?

Shen Tang originally thought that after returning from the disaster area, she had figured things out and would no longer bother Huo Xiuyuan. Could it be that she still couldn't let go of Huo Xiuyuan?

I'm about to get my marriage certificate with Huo Xiuyuan. At this crucial moment, who knows what kind of trouble Li Meihua might cause?

Zhao Wenjing frowned and said, "What exactly is she trying to do? She's always acting so strangely. I saw her rushing out early this morning, I don't know what she was doing."

Shen Tang became more cautious and decided to keep a closer eye on Li Meihua recently.

"Shen Tang—" Huo Xiuyuan walked over with a smile on his lips.

Zhao Wenjing glanced at Huo Xiuyuan, smiled at Shen Tang, and said, "I'm leaving now."

Shen Tang walked over to Huo Xiuyuan. "What's wrong? You seem to be in a good mood?"

Huo Xiuyuan took his right hand out of his pocket, and a bunch of keys dangled in front of Shen Tang.

"What is this? Where is the key from?" Shen Tang asked, looking at the brand-new key.

Huo Xiuyuan placed the key in her hand. "This is our house key."

Shen Tang was taken aback for a moment, then blankly took the key. "Our house key?"

Her eyes sparkled. She had never had a "home". When she was little, she lived with her grandmother in a side room. She didn't have her own room or her own bed.

Her family all said that she would marry into another family and become someone else's person.

Those old houses in the village were not her home; she had never felt warmth there.

Later, she moved into the girl group's dormitory and didn't have her own room.

After that, she continued to live in hotels, which were just places to stay and rest, not "home" at all.

But now, Huo Xiuyuan says they have their own home.

Shen Tang clutched the keys, her eyes red-rimmed, but there was a smile in them. "Take me to see."

"Let's go." Huo Xiuyuan grabbed his hand and strode towards the back courtyard.

Along the way, soldiers greeted Huo Xiuyuan, and Huo Xiuyuan nodded to each one. The soldiers looked at the two holding hands and excitedly pushed and laughed.

Huo Xiuyuan stood tall with his back straight and his head held high, like a proud white goose.

Shen Tang felt a little shy and tried to pull her hand back, but Huo Xiuyuan grabbed it again.

"Where do you think you're going?" He looked down at her and whispered, "You're not going anywhere."

Shen Tang's lips unconsciously curled up as she followed him through the road lined with sycamore trees in the camp area, turning into a quiet corner at the end of the third row of family quarters.

The courtyard wasn't large, but it was very clean. There was a main house, two side rooms, and an open space in front of the door, surrounded by a low brick wall.

"You can grow vegetables here," Huo Xiuyuan said, pointing to the open space. "You can also grow flowers if you want."

Shen Tang stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around.

She really liked this courtyard.

"Shall we go inside and take a look?" Huo Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Shen Tang took the key, inserted it into the lock, and turned the lock.

The wooden door was pushed open, and inside the main room there was only a small dining table and two stools.

There were two rooms next to her. Shen Tang peeked in and saw a kang (a heated brick bed) on one side and a wooden bed on the other.

"Do you prefer sleeping on a kang (heated brick bed) or a regular bed?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

What should have been a perfectly normal question turned into a nightmare when Shen Tang stepped back and bumped into Huo Xiuyuan's arms, causing both of their hearts to race.

Shen Tang was nestled in Huo Xiuyuan's arms, his voice pressing down from above her head.

"In the summer we can sleep on the bed, and in the winter we can sleep on the kang (heated brick bed). We'll heat the kang up nice and warm, and I'll hold you close; you won't be cold at all."

Shen Tang's heart was pounding faster and faster, and her face was burning hot.

Huo Xiuyuan lifted her chin, gently kissed her forehead, then slowly moved down to kiss her cheek, and finally to her lips.

Shen Tang, unusually, did not take the initiative. She tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and tears slid down her cheeks.

"What's wrong?" Huo Xiuyuan asked softly, "Don't you like it here?"

Shen Tang shook her head, hooked her arms around Huo Xiuyuan's neck, buried her face in his chest, and said, "I'm happy, I finally have a home."

Huo Xiuyuan picked her up and sat her on the bed next to him.

There were no bedding on the bed yet, and Shen Tang sat on his lap.

"I've submitted the marriage application, and the commander said it will be approved in three days." Huo Xiuyuan stared at Shen Tang, his eyes filled with happiness.

Shen Tang, however, saw pity in his eyes.

Shen Tang cupped his face in her hands, "I'm going to have a husband soon too."

"Husband?" Huo Xiuyuan looked at her in confusion.

Shen Tang was so happy that she blurted out the modern term, and quickly said, "I heard it in a movie, it means husband."

Huo Xiuyuan stared at her for two seconds, then smiled and said, "A husband is called 'husband,' so what's a wife called?"

"Call me 'wife'," Shen Tang said, swinging her leg gently. "Say 'wife' and let me hear it."

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her earnestly, "Shen Tang, our marriage is settled, there's no going back. From now on, you'll follow me wherever I go. No divorces, no running away from home, unless I die..."

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying!" Shen Tang quickly interrupted him.

Huo Xiuyuan straightened her body, his face serious. "Promise me."

Shen Tang pinched his cheek and laughed, "Why are you so serious? I promise you."

"No matter what happens, we'll face it together, okay?" Huo Xiuyuan's voice was deep, his eyes fixed on Shen Tang.

"Okay. I promise you. No matter what happens, whether we're born, grow old, get sick, or die, we'll never leave each other."

Huo Xiuyuan pulled Shen Tang into his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his own body.

"I can't breathe!" Shen Tang said, holding her breath.

Huo Xiuyuan quickly released her and looked at her with deep eyes.

"Tangtang, I love you."

He spoke with great seriousness.

Shen Tang looked up at him, tilted her head and kissed his lips.

She still can't say that word, and getting married to him in such a short time feels like a dream to her.

Sometimes Shen Tang wondered if this was a dream she had after she drowned and lost consciousness.

When she wakes up in real life, she will also wake up from the dream, and everything she has experienced will disappear.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Kiss me, hard...

She hugged Huo Xiuyuan and asked him to kiss her hard; she wanted to truly feel his presence.

Huo Xiuyuan's kiss was deep and lingering, their lips and tongues intertwined, their breaths mingling...

Shen Tang's hand slid down his abs and touched his belt.

Huo Xiuyuan lay on his back on the wooden bed, his eyes like a deep pool of water. He looked at Shen Tang, his jawline taut.

"What do you want to do?"

Huo Xiuyuan's voice was incredibly sexy with its husky quality.

Shen Tang bit her lip and looked at him, mouthing the words:

"Fuck you!"
