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

Shen Tang gave him a push, "The rain has stopped outside, you should go!"

The kerosene lamp in the room flickered, and the dim light in the room swayed, making Huo Xiuyuan feel uneasy.

He stared at Shen Tang's profile. "You still don't believe me?"

"You don't believe I can solve the case from back then, you don't believe we can end up together, are you planning to give up on me?"

Huo Xiuyuan gripped her shoulders nervously.

Shen Tang lowered her eyes. She truly didn't believe it. Although Chen Zhongyi was wronged, too much time had passed.

She didn't want to give her hope and sincerity only to end up with nothing again.

Her attraction to Huo Xiuyuan was completely unexpected. She thought that after being hurt that time, she had closed her heart and locked away love, and would never trust anyone again or give her heart to anyone again.

But she lost her mind and decided to marry Huo Xiuyuan.

It's much better to know this now than after marriage; they can cut their losses and go their separate ways.

She looked up at him, her tone calm, "If we're destined not to be together, why give our all? You investigated me, but..."

She bit her lip. "What if they can't find out?"

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes trembled, and his jawline tightened.

"Forget it!" Shen Tang said helplessly, "We are destined to be apart."

"If they can't find out, I'll leave the army!"

Huo Xiuyuan looked up at her with unwavering determination.

Shen Tang looked at him in shock, then smiled.

"Don't joke around."

"I'm not kidding!"

Huo Xiuyuan held the back of her head with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her soft waist, then kissed her lips.

Shen Tang did not dodge. She longed for Huo Xiuyuan's embrace, for his closeness, and even for becoming his woman.

But she knew that none of that would be left.

Let this be our final indulgence!

Huo Xiuyuan kissed her deeply and fiercely, his hot palms grinding against the skin of her back. He kneaded her body as if he wanted to meld her into his own.

Shen Tang was breathless from his kiss, so she hugged his waist tightly and returned the kiss.

Huo Xiuyuan's breathing became rapid. He supported Shen Tang's waist and laid her down on the bed.

His body was hot, and his muscles were taut.

Huo Xiuyuan's kisses became burning hot. He kissed her earlobe, held it in his mouth, and kissed his way down her fair and delicate neck.

The rain poured in outside the window, and the rushing rainwater flowed down the eaves to the ground, gathering into streams that washed over the yard.

"Shen Tang, I want you... You can only be mine, don't even think about leaving me."

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes burned with a fierce possessiveness as he stared at her, his voice and body trembling.

Shen Tang hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Huo Xiuyuan stared at Shen Tang with his deep black eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

He took a few inches back. "Why? Why are you unwilling to work hard for our future when you clearly like me? No matter what problems we encounter, we can find a solution together."

Tears welled up in Huo Xiuyuan's eyes again.

Shen Tang looked at him and gave a light, feigned smile.

"I didn't expect Commander Huo to be such a crybaby."

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes were bloodshot, his long eyelashes were wet with tears, and even the tip of his nose was red.

"Huo Xiuyuan, why not enjoy life while you can?" Shen Tang said, looking at him.

A smile played on his lips, but his eyes were filled with bitterness.

Huo Xiuyuan shoved her back down, almost roaring:

"Shen Tang! What do you take me for? A toy for your amusement?"

Shen Tang raised her hand and ran it across his firm muscles, then smiled and said, "It is indeed a good toy."

Her fingers traced the lines of her muscles downwards and hooked onto Huo Xiuyuan's belt.

Huo Xiuyuan grabbed her hand and pressed it forcefully above his head.

"Okay, if you want it, I'll give it to you!"

He stared at her coldly and pulled out his belt.

"Sizzle—"

Shen Tang's heart suddenly raced, and she quickly turned her head to the side, but Huo Xiuyuan's large hand pinched her cheek.

"What's wrong? You're scared already?"

Shen Tang was slightly out of breath, still not daring to look at him. "I... I regret it. I don't want it anymore. You should leave!"

"You say you want it, and you say you don't, and you don't want it, Shen Tang, what am I to you?" Huo Xiuyuan asked coldly.

"It means nothing! I never loved you..."

"I don't believe you. I don't believe a single word you said." Before Shen Tang could finish speaking, Huo Xiuyuan interrupted her.

Shen Tang looked at him, her lips moved slightly, and then she lowered her eyes.

Huo Xiuyuan gripped her arm tightly. "Shen Tang, trust me, we'll face this together. I'll find out the truth; we're already making some progress. Even if you don't want to give me your full trust, can't you give me some time?"

"I don't want you to leave the army because of me. If that happens, I'd rather give up than live with guilt for the rest of my life," Shen Tang said, frowning.

"Don't worry, I will find out what happened back then, and I will marry you honorably."

Shen Tang looked at him seriously for a long time before saying, "Okay, I believe you, I won't give up."

Huo Xiuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I won't let you down."

"You, zip it up," Shen Tang whispered.

Huo Xiuyuan glanced down, his ears turning bright red. He quickly pulled on his belt and straightened his clothes.

Shen Tang glanced out the window. "The rain has stopped. You should go now."

Huo Xiuyuan looked out the window and saw that the rain had indeed stopped, with raindrops still dripping from the eaves.

"I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up tomorrow," Huo Xiuyuan said softly.

Shen Tang nodded gently. Huo Xiuyuan placed a light kiss on her forehead, got dressed, opened the door, and went out.

Shen Tang watched him leap over the wall and land steadily before closing the door again.

She stared at the lamp on the table, and hope ignited in her heart.

Yes, why be so pessimistic? She still wants to participate in the Spring Festival Gala!

The next morning, Shen Tang opened the door and a breath of fresh air rushed in. The courtyard was exceptionally clean after the rain.

The courtyard gate opened.

Officer Wang walked in with a document in his hand.

"Shen Tang, you can leave now. It has been verified that you did not conceal anything."

Shen Tang reached out and took the document, then thanked him.

Officer Wang looked at her and said, "Let's go quickly, Commander Huo came to urge me early this morning."

He nodded towards the courtyard gate. "Waiting here!"

Shen Tang followed his gaze and saw Huo Xiuyuan standing at the door waiting for her.

Shen Tang smiled, went back into her room to get her English materials, and quickly walked towards him.

Huo Xiuyuan grabbed her hand, raised his arm, straightened his chest, and strode forward.

People on the street were whispering among themselves—

"I heard Shen Tang's father is a murderer, how come Commander Huo is still dating her?"

"Really, don't let this implicate Commander Huo."

Huo Xiuyuan's cold gaze swept over them. "Are you all just killing time?"

The soldiers immediately fell silent and lowered their heads.

"I'll take you back to your dorm first," Huo Xiuyuan said gently. "After rehearsal, I'll take you to see Uncle Chen."

"it is good."

The moment Shen Tang stepped into the dormitory, Li Meihua's voice rang out:

"Hmph, the murderer's daughter is back?"
