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

Shen Tang bumped his arm hard and walked past him.

"you......"

Huo Xiuyuan clenched his fists as he watched Shen Tang's retreating figure.

She's right, I really have no right to interfere with her.

A bitter feeling welled up in Huo Xiuyuan's heart.

He wanted to chase after him to apologize, but—

However, Shen Tang wasn't entirely right either; she sometimes spoke without thinking.

She knew perfectly well that Yang Chaoyang liked her.

He had seen Yang Chaoyang confess his feelings to her in front of everyone at the clothing factory canteen last time.

If she doesn't have feelings for him, she should keep her distance.

Besides, she's not divorced yet!

Huo Xiuyuan grew angrier the more he thought about it.

Why should he apologize?

After seeing the police officers off, Ge Aihua caught up from behind and looked at Huo Xiuyuan, whose face was dark.

She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Huo Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, and then strode forward.

Ge Aihua frowned. Had these two had a fight?

Yang Xinyue ran up from behind and said, "Commander Ge, let's go to a restaurant for dinner together?"

"No need, you guys eat. We'll eat at the back."

As she spoke, Ge Aihua walked toward the training compound.

Yang Xinyue watched Shen Tang walk away and bit her lip.

Shen Tang, that vixen.

Not only did it change Lu Jingshen's attitude towards her, but it also made Chaoyang harbor feelings for her.

She turned and walked back.

Chaoyang needs a good talking-to. How could he like a woman like that?

Shen Tang stomped into the training compound in a huff, and instead of going to eat, went straight back to her dormitory.

Huo Xiuyuan followed behind her, watching her walk towards the dormitory.

"Eat." he said in a deep voice.

Shen Tang ignored him and went straight back to her dormitory.

Huo Xiuyuan's jawline was taut as he strode into the courtyard and sat down at the dining table.

If you don't want to eat, fine, go hungry!

She has quite a temper. I've already given in, what more does she want?

Ge Aihua walked into the courtyard and saw Huo Xiuyuan's face, which was as cold as an ice sculpture.

Without asking any questions, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Huo Xiuyuan glanced at her and frowned, saying, "She hasn't eaten."

"Maybe I'm not hungry." Ge Aihua raised an eyebrow and continued eating.

"I said a few words, but she didn't like them and got angry," Huo Xiuyuan said, frowning.

"Oh." Ge Aihua ate her food in big mouthfuls, acting as if it were none of her business.

Huo Xiuyuan cleared his throat: "Aren't you going to call her for dinner?"

Ge Aihua glanced at him and said, "Whoever provoked them should appease them. What does it have to do with me?"

Huo Xiuyuan clenched his fist but didn't move.

Ge Aihua looked at Huo Xiuyuan's black shirt:

"Wow, this dress—it's really beautiful. I wonder who had such skillful hands."

Huo Xiuyuan's fingers traced the heart shape, then he stood up and walked out.

"Aren't you going to eat either?" Ge Aihua called out from behind.

"Okay." Huo Xiuyuan got into the car and drove off.

Ge Aihua smiled slightly.

She was actually looking forward to seeing how the cold and aloof leader would coax someone.

Huo Xiuyuan returned shortly after he left.

He handed a brown paper bag to Ge Aihua:

"I bought a few roasted sweet potatoes."

Ge Aihua looked at him. "For me?"

Huo Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Ah, let's all eat together."

Ge Aihua smiled and turned to walk towards the dormitory of the group members.

Shen Tang lay in bed trying to read, but couldn't concentrate at all.

She simply lay down, but as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see was Huo Xiuyuan lecturing her.

She rolled over and sat up.

No, what gives him the right?

All I did was exchange a couple of words with Yang Chaoyang.

How can you just say it casually?

Oh, is it because you said everyone is "worried" about Yang Chaoyang?

Shen Tang rolled her eyes.

How petty!

Shen Tang rubbed her stomach, which made an inopportune "gurgle" sound.

I was being foolish. Eating is the most important thing in the world, why make things difficult for myself?

"Shen Tang—" Ge Aihua knocked on the door and came in.

"Commander Ge."

Ge Aihua smiled and said, "Are you angry?"

"No," Shen Tang denied.

"I have some roasted sweet potatoes, would you like some?" Ge Aihua asked with a smile.

Shen Tang's eyes lit up; roasted sweet potatoes were her favorite food.

In my past life, I dared not eat much because I had to control my weight.

Fortunately, in this era, the ideal of beauty is no longer pale, young, and thin; instead, the pursuit is for healthy beauty, which gives us much more freedom when it comes to food.

"Let's go." Ge Aihua pulled her along.

Shen Tang didn't stand on ceremony anymore and got out of bed to follow Ge Aihua to her courtyard.

Huo Xiuyuan wasn't there, so Shen Tang glanced at Huo Xiuyuan's courtyard.

Thinking about what just happened, I'm still angry.

"Here, try it and see if it's sweet." Ge Aihua pushed the sweet potato towards her.

Shen Tang picked up a sweet potato, peeled it, and started eating it in big bites.

"Is it sweet?" Ge Aihua asked.

"Sweet." Shen Tang squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Huo Xiuyuan bought it."

"Cough cough cough..." Shen Tang coughed a few times.

She put the sweet potato on the table, pouted, and said, "Then I won't eat it."

"What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?" Ge Aihua asked.

"He's acting like he's sick..."

Shen Tang rattled off the story to Ge Aihua.

"Tell me, isn't he in the wrong?"

Ge Aihua laughed when she heard this.

"What are you laughing at? I'm furious! And you say I'm promiscuous? Is this the old society? Can't I even talk to a man?"

Shen Tang glared and frowned angrily, "Besides, who is he to me? What right does he have to tell me what to do?"

Ge Aihua pushed the sweet potato towards Shen Tang.

"Didn't I apologize to you?"

Shen Tang glanced at the sweet potatoes. "You think you can make me forgive him with just a few lousy sweet potatoes? No way!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the unfinished sweet potato and began to eat it in large bites.

She glanced into the brown bag containing the sweet potatoes and saw a small note underneath them.

Shen Tang frowned, picked up the note, and opened it—"I'm sorry."

There are only three words on it.

Shen Tang hurriedly clutched the note in her hand, glanced quickly at Ge Aihua, and her face flushed red.

Shen Tang felt her face was blushing for no reason; this wasn't a love letter.

Ge Aihua leaned down to look at her: "Why are you blushing so much? What does it say on it?"

"N-nothing, just scrap paper." Shen Tang said, munching on a sweet potato with her eyes downcast.

"Oh, right,"

Shen Tang looked at Ge Aihua, "The suit is finished. I ironed it and it's hanging in the sewing machine room."

"Really? I'll give it a try."

Ge Aihua went to her room happily.

Shen Tang exhaled and turned to look at Huo Xiuyuan's courtyard.

Huo Xiuyuan opened the door and came out. He gave Shen Tang a deep look, then turned around and went back into the house.

Shen Tang opened her hand, looked at the note, and a smile appeared on her lips.

I'll forgive you this time since you apologized so promptly.

Shen Tang thought the roasted sweet potato was really sweet.

She was enjoying her roasted sweet potato when Sun Qian and Yang Xinyue returned after finishing their meal.

Sun Qian looked at Shen Tang with a malicious glint in her eyes.

She strode over:

"Shen Tang, come out here for a moment, I have something to ask you."
