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

"Sit still."

Huo Xiuyuan's large hand lightly cupped Shen Tang's face, pressing her back down.

He started the car and drove towards the compound.

Shen Tang leaned back in her chair and glared resentfully at Huo Xiuyuan.

That scoundrel! He backed down at the last minute.

Let's see how long you can keep up this act.

Upon arriving at the training compound, Ge Aihua took a nap in her room.

Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at Shen Tang and said:

"You should go back to the room next to Commander Ge's. There's no one to look after you over there."

Shen Tang readily agreed.

Huo Xiuyuan moved all of Shen Tang's belongings into the new room and neatly made up the bedding.

Shen Tang sat beside him, watching him.

Huo Xiuyuan has such a great physique!

This bend made his long legs appear even straighter and stronger.

Even her buttocks are so perky.

The back muscles were taut yet relaxed beneath the thin shirt.

Shen Tang held her water glass, her gaze roaming freely over Huo Xiuyuan.

"Is it pretty?"

Huo Xiuyuan suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Shen Tang quickly looked away, feigning ignorance, and said:

"What?"

Huo Xiuyuan remained bent over, his gaze fixed on the mirror on the table.

Shen Tang was then shocked to realize that Huo Xiuyuan had seen her entire appearance through the mirror.

Shen Tang decided not to hide anymore and looked at Huo Xiuyuan, saying:

"nice."

Huo Xiuyuan frowned: "Don't you know what shame is?"

"You don't have to know about me." Shen Tang smiled.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her, his jawline tightening.

"I'll go cook." Huo Xiuyuan strode out.

Shen Tang chuckled softly, walked over, and lay down on the bed.

She recalled the strange feeling she had in the hospital.

Could it be that I haven't fully integrated with this body?

So, the soul of "Shen Tang" is still there?

Or was she saying her final goodbye to Lu Jingshen?

Shen Tang closed her eyes, attempting to communicate with her mind.

"Shen Tang, Shen Tang? Are you there?"

No one responded to her.

Shen Tang frowned, perhaps it was because her body was too weak.

Looks like I need to take some time to recover.

She sat up, walked out of the yard, and wanted to help Huo Xiuyuan cook.

The courtyard was filled with a delicious aroma—the aroma of chicken soup.

Huo Xiuyuan was bending over, using a small spoon to skim off the oil floating on the chicken soup.

Shen Tang's mouth was practically watering; she leaned closer to peek into the pot.

"It smells so good!"

Huo Xiuyuan opened his arms and turned around abruptly.

Shen Tang lost her balance and leaned forward, her soft lips brushing against his chest.

Shen Tang's nose stung from the impact, and she frowned and pouted.

"It hurts so much..."

Huo Xiuyuan's body stiffened instantly, and his face turned bright red.

Huo Xiuyuan was extremely embarrassed and shrank back:

"You, you stand up straight."

Huo Xiuyuan was forced to the edge of the stove, with nowhere to retreat. He stood there, frozen, holding a large ladle.

Shen Tang frowned, her face instantly turning bright red, and she bounced backward.

She spun around in circles a few times, like a headless fly, before finally running back to her room.

Huo Xiuyuan stood there, stunned, for a long time before he came to his senses.

Shen Tang entered the room and immediately buried herself in the blankets.

What the hell? Huo Xiuyuan, that big jerk!

Unbelievable, unbelievable...

Shen Tang's body became hot, and even her breath felt warm.

Didn't they say Huo Xiuyuan wasn't good enough?

Something's not right here.

Is the rumor false?

Shen Tang's thoughts became chaotic.

She originally thought that since neither she nor Huo Xiuyuan could have children, the two of them were "suitable" for each other.

But now it seems that Huo Xiuyuan is clearly fine.

She crawled out from under the covers and peeked into the yard.

Huo Xiuyuan had already put down the large ladle and buried his head in the bucket of water.

Huo Xiuyuan's mind was also in a mess.

Why do I completely lose my composure when I'm around Shen Tang?

He recalled the soft, tender lips she had pressed against his chest.

I don't know if I'll kiss him—

Huo Xiuyuan quickly interrupted his thoughts.

He recited Chairman Mao's quotations several times in his mind before he could suppress the restlessness in his heart.

Shen Tang lay in bed, her thoughts in disarray.

It seems she needs to re-evaluate her relationship with Huo Xiuyuan.

In the courtyard, Huo Xiuyuan had already prepared the soup.

He dried his hair, walked over, and knocked on the door.

"The soup is ready."

"Mm," Shen Tang replied, but did not leave immediately.

She really didn't know how to face him.

Ge Aihua had already woken up. She stretched and went out the door.

"Oh, this soup smells so good. Commander Huo really knows how to take care of people."

She looked at Shen Tang as he walked out of the house with his head down and smiled.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at Shen Tang and handed her a small spoon:

"Be careful, it's hot."

Shen Tang reached out and took it, her fingertips touching Huo Xiuyuan's fingers. She bit her lip and lowered her head to drink the soup.

"Hot—" Huo Xiuyuan hurriedly reminded him.

"Oh dear—" Shen Tang exclaimed.

Lost in thought, Shen Tang forgot Huo Xiuyuan's warning and burned her tongue.

She stuck out her little tongue in pain.

Huo Xiuyuan quickly turned around, squatted down, and gently breathed on her tongue.

He frowned and said, "I told you it was hot."

After Huo Xiuyuan finished speaking, both of them paused.

This action is far too intimate.

Ge Aihua looked at the two of them with a smile on her lips.

Shen Tang quickly pulled her tongue back into her mouth, "I'm fine."

Huo Xiuyuan stood up awkwardly and poured Shen Tang a glass of cold water.

Shen Tang took it and put a mouthful in her mouth.

None of the three spoke, but the atmosphere changed.

"Are you feeling better?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

"Mm." Shen Tang nodded gently.

Huo Xiuyuan took the chicken soup from her and scooped it up with a large spoon, shaking it to cool it down.

"Give it a try," Huo Xiuyuan said.

Shen Tang felt a little embarrassed, took the drink and slowly drank it.

"Perfect."

Ge Aihua ate a few bites quickly, then stood up and said:

"I just remembered I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll head out now. You guys enjoy your meal."

Ge Aihua smiled at Shen Tang, then turned and left.

Only two people remained at the dinner table.

Huo Xiuyuan stared intently at Shen Tang, but Shen Tang kept avoiding his gaze.

"What are you hiding from?" Huo Xiu said in a deep voice.

Shen Tang blushed and looked up, "No."

Her gaze fell on Huo Xiuyuan's white shirt, where there was a faint lip print on the chest.

Huo Xiuyuan followed her gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You took advantage of me, aren't you going to take responsibility?"

"How...how did I take advantage of you?" Shen Tang asked anxiously. "It was clearly you..."

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her and said earnestly, "I will take responsibility for you."

Shen Tang looked at him in shock and quickly lowered her head.

Huo Xiuyuan noticed Shen Tang's avoidance.

Is she rejecting herself?

She used to flirt with me all the time, but now that I've made my feelings clear, why is she starting to avoid me?

Is it just for fun?

A feeling of shame and anger welled up in Huo Xiuyuan's heart, as if he had been toyed with.

"Shen Tang, what exactly do you mean? Do you think it's funny?"

Shen Tang looked down at the table, her mind in turmoil.

Is Huo Xiuyuan serious?
