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

The Hundred Flowers Design Competition is held abroad.

During this period, Qiao Qin completely handed little Huo Siqian over to Aunt Song. Although she was married and had children, she could not give up her career, which was also her dream.

Huo Yan expressed his strong support for this.

then.

Qiao Qin began her devilish training. Except for eating and sleeping, she basically spent all her time on drawing.

As time passed quietly, the day of the competition arrived as scheduled.

Qiao Qin dragged the suitcase she had prepared long ago and walked down the stairs gracefully, but unexpectedly found Huo Yan at the stairs. He was sitting on the sofa, looking leisurely, as if he had been quietly waiting for her arrival.

"You... haven't been to the company yet?" Qiao Qin was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her clear eyes.

Huo Yan stood up upon hearing the voice, his movements were graceful and calm, and he gently took the suitcase from her hand, as if it was his most precious treasure. He smiled faintly, and his voice was low and magnetic: "The Baihua Design Competition is held in Country A. I heard that there is a quiet island nearby. It is said to be picturesque and very suitable for newlyweds to spend their honeymoon."

There was an unquestionable confidence in his words, and every word was like a carefully carved gem, shining with charming light. Qiao Qin's heartbeat slightly accelerated, and she felt an inexplicable emotion quietly growing in her chest.

Suddenly she realized that Huo Yan wanted to go to the competition with her and have a honeymoon at the same time.

The words that were once deeply engraved in Qiao Qin's heart echoed in her mind again like a melodious melody.

"You should also have what others have. I will use all my tenderness and patience to make up for the wonderful experiences that we have missed."

A moving gleam flashed in Qiao Qin's eyes. She knew that this was not an empty oath, but a promise that Huo Yan interpreted with his actions.

The two walked out of their home side by side, boarded the private plane, and headed straight for the embrace of Country A. As the plane landed steadily on the unfamiliar land, their heartbeats seemed to speed up.

Standing in front of the artistic building, Qiao Qin could feel the tension and anticipation all around her. Huo Yan gently reached out and tucked the hair behind Qiao Qin's ears. The gentle gesture seemed to tell her, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Qiao Qin nodded slightly, responded with a low "hmm", and then followed the crowd into the competition venue.

......

In this design palace full of traces of time, the older generation of designers are like bright stars, their eyes sparkling with the light of perseverance and wisdom in art. However, among these stars, a young and unfamiliar figure quietly appeared, like a new star breaking through the night sky, she is Qiao Qin.

Her appearance, like a gust of fresh wind, quickly caused a stir among the crowd. People cast curious glances at her and whispered about this sudden newcomer.

"Who is this? Why haven't I seen her in the preliminary round before?" a middle-aged designer asked puzzledly.

"I heard that she was recommended by Young Master Wei himself." The person next to him responded in a low voice, "After all, the prize money for the Hundred Flowers Design Competition is provided by the Wei family, so he naturally has the right to add an extra contestant."

"Oh, so he got in through the back door." Someone sighed with a hint of disdain in his tone, "It really disappoints us designers who really participated in the competition based on our real strength. When it comes to design genius, who can compare to Ou Liangyan from our country? She is a true art star."

These words resonated with the crowd, and many people nodded in agreement. Qiao Qin's figure seemed more and more lonely in this undercurrent, but she did not seem to be affected by these discussions. She still stood quietly in the crowd, waiting for her opportunity.

Ou Liangyan, only 25 years old, was the undisputed youngest contestant in this competition. She has been immersed in the ocean of design since she was young. She is talented and not only enjoys a high reputation in China, but also has won numerous honors and awards during her years of studying abroad. Her name is like a bright star in the design world, shining brightly and known to everyone. In this competition, she is the most popular candidate and is regarded as the most likely candidate to win the championship.

However, after Qiao Qin's sudden appearance, the situation seemed to have changed subtly. Ou Liangyan's gaze stayed on Qiao Qin for a moment, and a hint of imperceptible disdain flashed in her bright eyes. But even so, she chose to walk forward and asked the new contestant with her usual arrogance and straightforwardness.

"Miss," Ou Liangyan crossed her arms, her tone provocative and scrutinizing, "I heard that you were able to enter the finals through Wei Qifeng's relationship?"

Her voice was clear and firm, without a trace of hesitation; her attitude was clear and direct, without any concealment.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar all around. No one expected her to stand up directly. At the same time, they stared at the young figure at the door, waiting for her answer.

next second.

Qiao Qin nodded gently.

The surrounding noise surged like a tide, one wave higher than the other, like a turbulent undercurrent quietly surging beneath the quiet water surface.

"I'm so lucky. What's the point of working hard in this world? My junior sister worked so hard but couldn't even make it to the finals, but someone like her got the advantage." The voice of a contestant was filled with strong jealousy, like sour fruit juice, filling the air.

"What's there to talk about fairness or unfairness? Maybe she has some shady deals behind her back." Another person echoed, his eyes full of disdain and suspicion.

"I heard that Young Master Wei has a girlfriend. She wouldn't want to interfere, would she? Looking at her face, she's quite good at seducing people." Someone else interrupted, with a bit of sarcasm in his voice, as if he wanted to trample on Qiao Qin's dignity and self-esteem.

Gossips stabbed like sharp swords, and every word was like a cold arrow, piercing Qiao Qin's heart, but she chose to remain silent. Because she knew that in this world, some things need to be proved by actions, not by words.

Ou Liangyan's brows were tightly entangled like chains, and her hands were folded in front of her chest. She quietly leaned close to Qiao Qin's ear and lowered her voice very low, but with unquestionable determination: "No matter what kind of relationship you have behind you, I will definitely win the championship of this competition."

Her eyes sparkled with cunning and confidence, like stars shining in the night sky. Qiao Qin's heart shuddered when she caught a glimpse of those eyes.

This competition brings together many talented designers, who may have their own backgrounds and connections. However, Qiao Qin knows that this is not the only factor that determines the outcome. But at this moment, facing Ou Liangyan's confidence and arrogance, she can't help but start thinking about the true meaning of this competition.

Ou Liangyan, a rising star in the design world, does have a secret behind her. Her boyfriend, a very important figure in the design world, is sitting on the judges' bench, silently watching everything on the field. His presence adds some mystery and uncertainty to Ou Liangyan's road to the competition.

Ou Liangyan was not worried about the other contestants at all. The only thing she was concerned about was Qiao Qin and what her relationship was with the young master of the Wei family.

next second.

Qiao Qin's face was as calm as water. She nodded slightly, and her tone was full of calm confidence: "In this competition, I firmly believe that the work has its own weight."

Ou Liangyan was startled at first, then she looked at her sharply, trying to find a flaw in Qiao Qin's calm face. However, she found that Qiao Qin's eyes were clear and firm, and she didn't seem to be lying at all. So, her doubts gradually dissipated. She thought she was another newcomer who relied on relationships to get to the top, but she didn't expect that she was a true person who was not afraid of power.

"You're so silly and cute. You actually dare to only talk about your strength in such an occasion." Ou Liangyan sneered in her heart. She knew that in this circle, strength was important, but background and connections were the key to determining victory or defeat.

As the bell rang, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense. The theme of this Baihua Design Competition is "Cherish", two simple words, but they contain endless possibilities, waiting for the contestants to interpret with their creativity and talent.

Ou Liangyan already knew the topic of today's competition. She was calm and confident. She lowered her head and the brush in her hand danced on the paper like a dragon. The brushing sound gradually outlined the picture in her mind as time passed.

As time went by, Ou Liangyan couldn't help but glance at Qiao Qin across from her subconsciously. Qiao Qin was still sitting still, her brows furrowed, her eyes seemed to penetrate the paper and go deep into the unknown realm.

Ou Liangyan retracted her gaze and refocused on her painting. A smug smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and that smile was full of confidence and determination.

She knew that the championship throne still belonged to her.

Night falls quietly, turning the sky into a deep blue-black.

The competition has come to an end, and the design drafts, like carefully crafted treasures, have been handed over to the judges one by one, waiting for their fate to be revealed.

The contestants remained at the site, chatting in groups or sitting alone, enjoying the simple meals thoughtfully prepared by the organizers. The air was filled with the aroma of food and the atmosphere of people's expectations and anxiety.

"The topic this time is really unexpected. These two short words are as confusing as a maze." A young contestant sighed, with a hint of regret between his brows.

"Yeah, I was also caught off guard." The person next to him echoed, playing with chopsticks in his hand, and was obviously nervous.

"Perhaps this is the charm of the competition. It always brings us unexpected challenges." Another person smiled, trying to ease the tense atmosphere around them.

"By the way, who do you think will stand out and win the crown this time?" A curious voice broke the silence, and everyone's eyes turned to the questioner.

For a while, there were discussions one after another, and everyone had their own answer in their hearts, but in this long wait, no one could give a definite answer.

The contestants gathered in groups of three or five, talking quietly about the exam that had just ended. In this tense and expectant atmosphere, a sudden remark broke the silence.

"Sister Ou, how do you think you did in the exam? Are you confident that you can win the championship?"

Ou Liangyan raised her head slightly, her deep eyes flashing with determination. She raised her chin slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if everything was under control.

"I have tried my best. As for the result of the game, let it take its course."

Although her voice was soft, it revealed unquestionable confidence. However, the pride that was inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows made people understand that her expectations for this game were far more than this.
