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

Song Cheng'an wasn't driving his motorcycle fast. He was in a good mood, and the wind was blowing his slightly curly hair, patting against his ears.

"Shen Tang, shall we find a place to sit?" Song Cheng'an said.

"Okay," Shen Tang readily agreed.

She also happened to have something to say to him.

Song Cheng'an drove the motorcycle to the moat embankment next to the city, his long legs bracing the vehicle, and Shen Tang got off.

"Shall we sit over there?" Song Cheng'an pointed to the steps in front of him.

Shen Tang sat down on the steps, and Song Cheng'an sat next to her, with a distance between them.

It didn't make Shen Tang feel uncomfortable.

"Shen Tang, I quite like you," Song Cheng'an said directly.

"When Song Zhiyi first mentioned you, I was quite dismissive. After all, you already had a boyfriend. But after meeting you, I changed my mind. I was instantly smitten the first time I saw you, a feeling I'd never experienced before. I also really like your personality—straightforward and generous."

Shen Tang listened quietly as he finished speaking, "First of all, thank you for your kind words."

Song Cheng'an looked at her, a smile playing on his lips. "And then?"

"Then," Shen Tang looked at him seriously and said, "I have a boyfriend. My boyfriend's name is Huo Xiuyuan. I believe you will like him very much when you meet him. He is the commander of a special forces regiment. He is tall and imposing, very smart, and very good to me. We are compatible, so I cannot accept your pursuit."

Song Cheng'an took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Alright then! We can still be friends, right?"

"Of course," Shen Tang stood up, "Let's go back and have a drink."

Song Cheng'an raised an eyebrow. "Okay."

The two entered the Paramount through the back door.

Lin Manni observed the expressions on their faces as the two entered.

She walked up to Shen Tang and lowered her voice, "How is it?"

"What? How did it go? I'm going to call Huo Xiuyuan." Shen Tang laughed and ran off.

Lin Manni smiled as she watched her retreating figure, "I knew it."

Shen Tang dialed the number Huo Xiuyuan had left behind, but no one answered after the phone rang for a long time.

Shen Tang bit her lip, put down the phone, and dialed again.

An elderly man answered the phone, "Feed."

"Sir, I'm looking for Huo Xiuyuan," Shen Tang said.

"Oh, wait a minute."

The phone went silent as Shen Tang listened intently to the sounds on the other end. After a while, someone rushed over.

"Feed?"

Huo Xiuyuan answered the phone, his voice slightly breathless.

Shen Tang held the microphone without saying a word.

"Shen Tang, is that you?" Huo Xiuyuan asked softly.

"Mmm." Shen Tang's heart softened.

"Finished the exam?"

"Um."

A soft laugh came from the other end of the line from Huo Xiuyuan, "Can't you say one more word? You just keep saying 'uh-huh'."

"Huo Xiuyuan..." Shen Tang's nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face. "I miss you..."

After so many days of longing, I don't know why, it all burst forth in this instant.

Overwhelmed by a surge of longing.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the microphone, followed by Huo Xiuyuan's deep breathing.

"I miss you as well."

Neither of them spoke, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

half an hour.

Huo Xiuyuan then said, "We've encountered some obstacles here, and we might not have enough time. But don't worry, Uncle Chen and I will definitely find evidence to overturn the case."

He paused for a moment and then said, "If you leave the cultural troupe temporarily, that's okay. Once I get the overturned verdict and go back, you can still return to the troupe."

"Okay. Be careful," Shen Tang said softly.

"Okay. Shen Tang..." Huo Xiuyuan called her softly.

"Um."

"young married woman......"

Shen Tang blushed slightly and softly replied, "Mmm."

"Wife..."

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat, and after a moment she replied, "Mm."

"Call me." Huo Xiuyuan's voice was low and trembling slightly.

Shen Tang looked up behind her, leaned closer to the microphone, and lowered her voice:

"husband......"

Huo Xiuyuan's breathing quickened on the other end of the line. "I really miss you..."

"Me too."

The microphone was burning hot against Shen Tang's ear, making her face feel hot.

Suddenly, the sound of a guitar being strummed rang out on the stage.

Shen Tang glanced over there and saw Song Cheng'an sitting on the stage, plucking the strings a few times and beginning to sing.

A deep, resonant voice rang out.

Who's singing?

Huo Xiuyuan's voice came through the microphone, but it had lost some of its warmth.

Shen Tang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Gu Siming's newly recruited singer."

"Really?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

"Yeah, I heard he's from Xinjiang. He looks like a big bear, and his voice is rough and unpleasant," Shen Tang said.

Huo Xiuyuan across from him chuckled softly, "You're Song Zhiyi's brother, right?"

"Huh?" Shen Tang was speechless.

How did Huo Xiuyuan know?

"Lin Manni told me everything," Huo Xiuyuan said. "She also said that Song Cheng'an really likes you, and you're practically staring at him."

"No, I didn't!" Shen Tang quickly denied. "I don't look at anyone but you."

"Okay," Huo Xiuyuan lowered his voice again, "when we get back you can see it properly, and touch it properly."

"Oh my~" Shen Tang squirmed slightly, aroused by his teasing. "When are you coming back?"

"It's hard to say yet. Uncle Chen and I might have to go to Diancheng."

"Diancheng? That's so far?" Shen Tang asked worriedly.

"Yes, the police officer in charge of this case went to Diancheng. He should have some evidence."

Shen Tang frowned. "How about I ask for leave from the military and go with you?"

"No need. Your situation is special right now, and the army won't give you leave. Besides, the road there is long and difficult, and you'll only suffer if you go. Don't worry, I will definitely return safely and overturn Uncle Chen's case."

Shen Tang nodded vigorously. "Yes, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Shen Tang—" Song Cheng'an walked over and called out loudly, "Shen Tang, come and have a drink."

Shen Tang quickly covered the microphone. Huo Xiuyuan on the other end did not speak, but Shen Tang felt a chill coming from the microphone.

Shen Tang quickly replied, "No need. I don't drink."

"Hurry up, we're waiting for you!" Seeing that she was still holding the microphone, Song Cheng'an turned around and walked back.

"Husband?" Shen Tang asked cautiously.

The phone rang with Huo Xiuyuan's breathing sounds, "Still drinking?"

"I won't drink anymore, absolutely not," Shen Tang said earnestly.

"You're not allowed to drink. What if you hug and touch other people while I'm not around?"

Huo Xiuyuan on the other end wished he could crawl through the telephone line.

"I won't drink, I won't drink, absolutely not! Anyone who drinks is a dog!" Shen Tang swore.

Huo Xiuyuan was still worried. "Call Lin Manni over."

"No, thank you. I promise I won't drink it. Don't you even trust me that much?"

Huo Xiuyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Then go have fun. No drinking!"

"Okay, okay."

Shen Tang hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and turned to walk towards the dinner table.
