My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

The grand outline of the Huo's Building looked particularly solemn in the afternoon sun. Qiao Qin gently pushed open the heavy door, and a familiar and complex atmosphere rushed towards her. She felt that the eyes around her were like invisible arrows, quietly shooting at her, with a sense of inquiry and gossip.

Qiao Qin's face remained calm, but her deep eyes could not hide a hint of sadness. She knew that as Huo Yan's wife, this sudden "fiancée" was like a bombshell, blowing her peaceful life to pieces.

Her heart was like a lake wet by the drizzle, with ripples all over it.

How would those employees who were just acquaintances with her on weekdays view her now?

Would they gossip about her in private, saying that she was pitiful, helpless, and betrayed by her husband?

Qiao Qin took a deep breath of the cool air, trying to calm her inner turmoil and let the anxiety and tension settle in her chest. Just as she was trying to maintain her superficial calm, a crisp "ding" suddenly rang in her ears, and then the elevator door slowly slid open.

She walked out of the elevator with firm steps and came to the familiar office door.

Behind the door was everything she was about to face. She stood quietly for a moment, but the door with excellent soundproofing was like an invisible barrier, isolating her from the outside world. She could not hear any sound and could only feel the rhythm of her own heartbeat.

Qiao Qin slowly raised her hand and hovered it in the air. Her fingers trembled slightly, as if she was hesitating whether to push open the door.

"Knock knock knock," the knocking sounds echoed in the empty corridor, breaking the original silence.

The next moment, the deep and magnetic male voice came through the door, simple and powerful, as if pointing her in a direction.

"Enter."

Qiao Qin took a deep breath and pushed open the door. However, when she saw the scene in the office, she was stunned and just stayed where she was.

As far as the eye can see, Huo Yan is sitting in front of the large and quiet desk, with a restrained and majestic temperament. Beside him stands a youthful young man, wearing a floral shirt and shorts, which makes him look fashionable and casual, like a bright spot in summer.

There was no one else in the entire office except the two of them, not to mention the legendary fiancée.

Qiao Qin's appearance was like a breeze, gently breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

Huo Yan looked up and saw her, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He stood up, strode towards Qiao Qin, naturally took her hand, and led her inside.

"Why did you come here suddenly? I remember you should be at home with the baby today." Huo Yan's voice was low and gentle, like the warm sunshine of spring, gently brushing Qiao Qin's heart.

Qiao Qin lowered her head slightly, with a barely perceptible embarrassment flashing across her eyes. She seemed to have not yet fully recovered from the sudden situation, feeling somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

She had already prepared herself mentally, but she found that things were not quite what she had imagined.

Qiao Qin looked at another figure in the office and hesitated: "Who is this?"

Huo Yan glanced at her and said calmly but firmly: "Just a business partner."

Before he finished speaking, the young man walked over with light steps, his face filled with a sunny smile, like the warm sun in spring: "Hello, Miss Qiao. I am Wei Fengqi, from Hong Kong City. Mr. Huo often mentions you. After seeing you today, it is true that you are as beautiful as the saying goes."

His accent has a unique Hong Kong flavor.

When Qiao Qin heard the name "Wei Fengqi", she suddenly understood.

Wei Fengqi = fiancée.

It turns out that the assistant heard it wrong!

At this moment, Huo Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he opened his lips again, his voice low and firm: "Feng Qi, I remember that there will be a world-renowned Global Hundred Flowers Design Competition next month, and you seem to have a recommendation quota in your hand."

Wei Fengqi was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded slightly to confirm.

Huo Yan's eyes flashed with unquestionable determination. He said slowly: "My wife is extremely talented in this area. No one can match her. After careful consideration, I decided to agree to the cooperation project you mentioned just now. But in exchange, I hope you can recommend her to participate in that competition."

Wei Fengqi's heart moved. This request was undoubtedly a good deal for him.

A recommendation can be exchanged for a cooperation project worth tens of millions, which is simply a great thing.

He agreed without hesitation: "Of course, Mr. Huo. I am willing to reserve this position for your wife."

However, this scene made Wei Fengqi look at Qiao Qin again, his eyes full of astonishment that could not be concealed. His heart was already filled with an indescribable shock, like a turbulent sea, surging endlessly.

Huo Yan, the business tycoon who always put profit as the highest criterion, has now abandoned the principles he has adhered to for many years for the sake of a woman.

I would spend a fortune just to get that sweet smile.

Wei Fengqi sighed softly, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Huo Yan, you have also fallen!

He shook his head, as if trying to get rid of these complicated emotions. Seeing that the time was almost up, he decided not to continue being a light bulb, turned around and left the office, leaving the space to the young couple.

An indescribable confusion flashed across Qiao Qin's eyes, and her heart was as complicated as fallen leaves blown by the wind.

The Baihua Design Competition, a grand event held every five years, is a sacred place in the hearts of every jewelry designer, and Qiao Qin is no exception. She has fantasized countless nights about being able to stand on that dazzling stage and showcase her design talent.

However, fate seemed to play a joke on her.

Just when she was about to sign up for the competition, she unexpectedly welcomed a new life. Pregnancy, childbirth, confinement, and the subsequent busyness of taking care of little Siqian left her no time to take care of other things, and she missed the best time to sign up. She originally planned to wait five years to fight again, when little Siqian would have grown up and she would have more energy to pursue her dream.

At this moment, Huo Yan, as if by magic, secured a place for her in the competition.

"How did you know I wanted to participate in the Hundred Flowers Competition?" Qiao Qin asked with a hint of surprise. She seemed to have never mentioned this dream of hers to Huo Yan, so how did he know about it? This question quietly took root in her heart, like a mist at night, making her feel surprised and happy.

Huo Yan hesitated for a moment, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

He had heard Qiao Qin mention this matter under another identity, in the name of Huo Shiyan, but at this moment he naturally could not reveal this secret. So, he smiled lightly and made up a random excuse.

"It's just my random guess. If you like it, that's the best." His words were gentle and sincere, like a spring breeze.

Qiao Qin bit her lips slightly when she heard this, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She naturally liked it, but the conversation between Huo Yan and Wei Qifeng that she had just overheard made her worried. Those words about business cooperation seemed to imply some deep meaning, which made her feel worried.

"Just... will it cause you trouble?" She asked softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She was afraid that her hobbies would become a burden to Huo Yan, and even more afraid that they would affect his work.

Then, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Ah--"

A low and magnetic chuckle filled the air, carrying a hint of indescribable tenderness.

Huo Yan's movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he naturally embraced the woman in his arms. His broad and strong chest gave her an unprecedented sense of security. His big hands tightly clasped her waist, holding her closer to him. His chin rested lightly on her soft hair, and his voice was low and magnetic, slowly ringing in her ears.

"If a collaboration can bring a smile to your face, then I think it's all worth it."

His thoughts changed drastically. Once upon a time, he was keen on weighing the pros and cons, putting everything on both ends of the scale, and seeking the most perfect balance. But now, he felt that there were some things that could not be measured by interests, that is, the smile on her face. In front of her smile, any interests became insignificant.

Qiao Qin's eyes were slightly gentle, like the warm sunshine of early spring shining on the lake. A warm current involuntarily surged in her heart, warm and deep.

She lowered her head slightly, her thoughts tangled like threads, and finally she whispered the deep doubts in her heart: "Why are you so good to me? And it seems that you don't ask for anything in return."

An imperceptible deepness flashed across Huo Yan's eyes, like a meteor in the night sky, brief but dazzling. He was silent for a moment, as if recalling something, and finally his voice rang out slowly and firmly.

"Just think of it as... I owed you in my previous life." His voice was low and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Huo Shiyan had done many wrong things in the past and had hurt the woman he loved most, but fortunately, it was not too late to make amends now.

Qiao Qin could tell that his words were filled with deep helplessness and emotion, but also with firm determination. She seemed to be able to feel an indescribable emotion from them, which was regret for the past and commitment to the future.

She gently raised her head and put her cheek against the man's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat and feeling his rock-hard emotions. She seemed to be able to see a glimpse of Huo Yan's inner struggle and persistence, which was his redemption of the past and his commitment to the future.
