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

"I, I'm not scared at all," Shen Tang said stubbornly.

"What would you like to eat?" Huo Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Shen Tang opened her eyes wide in confusion.

But a bold idea popped into my head—

Can I eat you?

Huo Xiuyuan smiled slightly. "I asked what you wanted to eat, but the cafeteria lady is on break. I'll go buy groceries and cook. Fish, chicken, beef, or pork?"

Shen Tang let out a soft breath.

It turned out they were asking her what she wanted to eat.

"I want to eat it. Is your spicy stir-fried beef okay?" Shen Tang asked, turning around.

"it is good."

Huo Xiuyuan turned around, got into the jeep, and drove out the gate.

Shen Tang took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Let's hurry up and finish making the shirt!

With the design draft in hand, Shen Tang quickly cut out the pieces and then sewed them together.

In no time, a well-tailored and stylish shirt was finished.

Shen Tang rubbed her neck, her eyelids started to droop, and she fell asleep on the table.

She hasn't had much rest these past few days.

I don't know how long I slept, but then the aroma of food wafted over.

Shen Tang frowned, her mind heavy and unwilling to get up.

"Tangtang, get up and eat."

A large hand stroked the top of her head.

Upon hearing that familiar yet disgusting voice, Shen Tang suddenly jumped up and took a step back half a meter.

—It is Lu Jingshen.

Tangtang, is that what he calls her?

That's fucking disgusting and bad luck!

"Who let you in!" Shen Tang shouted.

"I'm your husband. Who would stop me from coming in to see you?" Lu Jingshen said with a smile.

Shen Tang glared at him angrily: "Get out of here right now!"

Lu Jingshen smiled and approached step by step, "Shen Tang, don't you miss me at all?"

"It was truly my fault for marrying you and then leaving you to live an empty house. Please give me a chance to make amends, okay?"

As Lu Jingshen spoke, he reached out to hug Shen Tang.

He wanted to win Shen Tang over first, and then cruelly abandon her.

Shen Tang could only be subordinate to him.

"Disgusting, get out!"

Shen Tang grabbed the pencil from the table and held it in her hand.

Lu Jingshen smiled gently as before, "Shen Tang, stop being hypocritical. I know you like me. I just saw Huo Xiuyuan leave, and now it's just the two of us in this courtyard. Don't worry, no one will see us."

Shen Tang's gaze fell on the hickeys under Lu Jingshen's collar, and a feeling of nausea welled up in her heart.

Has he just finished messing around with Yang Xinyue and now he's coming to find me again?

"Get lost! Go find your Yang Xinyue, and don't bother me."

Lu Jingshen laughed.

She knew Shen Tang liked him. Look, isn't she jealous?

"Shen Tang, in the end, you are my wife. As long as you behave, I won't divorce you."

Shen Tang was speechless and didn't want to say another word to him.

She grabbed a stool from the side and threw it at Lu Jingshen.

"I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?! You're like a disgusting bug, don't let me see you again! Just seeing you makes me sick."

"Shen Tang, you're insane!"

After being hit a few times, Lu Jingshen suddenly grabbed the chair leg.

Suddenly, a tall figure flashed in from behind.

Lu Jingshen was grabbed by the collar and thrown out.

"ah--"

Huo Xiuyuan punched Lu Jingshen in the stomach, then grabbed his wrist and twisted his fingers backward.

Lu Jingshen screamed in agony like a pig being slaughtered, his gentle and refined image completely gone.

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with killing intent, and a chilling aura surrounded him. He gripped the ground even tighter.

"Ah—have mercy, have mercy, I'll never dare to do it again—Shen Tang, Shen Tang is yours—"

Huo Xiuyuan punched him in the stomach again.

"Ah—" Lu Jingshen clutched his stomach and curled up on the ground, his face pale with pain.

Huo Xiuyuan stood up and said coldly, "Shen Tang is not an object. She doesn't need you to give her up."

"Get out of here right now! If you harass her again, I'll cripple your hands."

Lu Jingshen was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word and ran out as fast as he could.

Shen Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Xiuyuan asked gently, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Shen Tang shook her head: "Huo Xiuyuan, can you teach me kung fu?"

Shen Tang clenched her fist. "If he dares to come again, I'll knock his teeth out!"

Huo Xiuyuan was picking up the scattered vegetables on the ground when he heard Shen Tang say this, and his eyes lit up.

She is truly different.

Other girls would be scared and cry if they encountered something like this.

But instead of crying, she thought about fighting back on her own.

Huo Xiuyuan's gaze softened as he looked at her.

Indeed, she had no one to rely on.

Shen Tang met Huo Xiuyuan's gaze and was stunned for a moment.

She had never seen that look in her eyes before.

Shen Tang lowered her eyes and revealed a big, bright smile.

She leaned closer to Huo Xiuyuan and tilted her head, saying:

"Why are you staring at me like that? You don't happen to have a crush on me, do you?"

Huo Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze:

"I'll go cook." He turned and went out the door.

Shen Tang slumped back into her chair, closing her eyes slightly as bittersweet memories flooded her mind—

In her past life, she was born in a small village. Because she was a girl, she was considered a financial burden and was disliked from a young age.

Before she was eight years old, she didn't know what an egg tasted like.

Because all the eggs in the family were given to my younger brother.

She was forced to drop out of school before finishing junior high.

She went to Beijing with others.

She lived in a dark, damp basement, where cockroaches would crawl onto her face at night.

To earn more money, she worked as a waitress during the day and sang in the subway at night.

Later, a talent scout gave her a business card.

She clutched the business card, thinking for days before finally dialing the number.

From then on, she became a member of the girl group.

But life didn't get better; it actually got worse.

Unaware of her surroundings, she signed a "contract of servitude"—to obey the company's every arrangement for five years.

She was dressed to the nines and sat stiffly among the investors.

A greasy hand slid across her cheek and slipped inside her clothes...

She couldn't take it anymore and smashed a bottle open on the fat, bearded man's head.

She was taken to the police station.

Seven days later, her agent picked her up and gave her a severe "lecture".

From that day on, she vowed to become one of the best so that they would never be able to bully her again!

She practiced desperately, filmed countless short videos and posted them online, using every means to let everyone see her.

Finally, she was invited to participate in a very prestigious celebrity singing and dancing competition.

Her dance was so captivating—she became an overnight sensation!

Overnight, the winds completely changed.

The company leaders began to fawn over her because someone was willing to pay a hefty penalty to poach her.

Shen Tang did not leave. She knew that a celebrity's sudden fame was fleeting and that they had to become a real asset!

In the following years, she achieved success in film, television, and music.

Ultimately, she owned 70% of the company's shares and gained absolute control.

But along the way, no one has ever felt sorry for her.

After she became famous, her father appeared on a TV show and verbally abused her.

She said her family had done everything they could to help her become a star, but once she became famous, she became ungrateful and never gave her family a single penny.

God knows how much money her gambling-addicted father took from her!

Her new agent had someone break her father's leg, and she didn't stop him.

This was a good idea, and her father never bothered her again.

She also completely severed ties with that so-called home.

Shen Tang was lost in her memories, and waves of heartache washed over her.

Her hands trembled as she clenched them, but she didn't let the tears fall.

Huo Xiuyuan's tall figure walked up from behind and stopped in front of her.

He looked at her and placed one hand on the back of her neck.

Shen Tang looked up in shock.

What is he doing?
