On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

"Impossible..." Chu Xixi's voice trembled. She couldn't accept this fact. The trust and feelings she had built up over the years collapsed in an instant, turning into fragments all over the ground, piercing her all over.

"I don't have to lie to you." Song Yian's tone was serious. He walked to Chu Xixi and handed her a photo. "Look for yourself."

Chu Xixi took the photo with shaking hands. The photo showed a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a vague resemblance to Huo Hangfan. Next to the man stood a graceful and elegant woman with a decent smile on her face.

"This... this is..." Chu Xixi's voice choked. She had already guessed who the person in the photo was, but she couldn't believe it.

"These are Huo Hangfan's parents, the famous real estate tycoon A in the city." Song Yian's voice was cold and emotionless. "He is not an orphan at all. He approached you just to use your talent, help you build a studio, and then use your works to gain a foothold in the design circle step by step."

Chu Xixi felt a black screen in front of her eyes and she staggered back a few steps. If Xu Yuanmo hadn't supported her in time, she would have collapsed to the ground.

"Why did he do this?" Chu Xixi's voice was full of pain and confusion. She didn't understand why Huo Hangfan would make up such a lie to deceive her. Could it be that he really had no sincerity towards her?

"Because he is greedy, because he is selfish, and because he doesn't love you at all!" Xu Yuanmo's voice was icy cold, like an icicle in the cold winter, piercing Chu Xixi's heart fiercely.

Chu Xixi's body trembled violently, she raised her head and looked at Xu Yuanmo in disbelief. She had never seen him so cold and ruthless, as if he had become a different person.

"You...how do you know?" Chu Xixi's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She didn't understand why Xu Yuanmo knew so much about Huo Hangfan's affairs. Has he been secretly investigating Huo Hangfan?

"Chu Xixi, don't you understand yet?" Song Yian looked at Chu Xixi with a trace of pity in his eyes, "The reason why he investigated Huo Hangfan is because he knew long ago that you were being used, and he has been protecting you in secret!"

Chu Xixi's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling came over her. She looked up at Xu Yuanmo, only to see him looking at her deeply, with a complex expression that made it difficult for her to see his true thoughts.

"I..." Chu Xixi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She had always thought that Xu Yuanmo's marriage to her was just a deal where both parties got what they wanted, but now it seemed that things were not that simple.

"Chu Xixi, do you really think that I would marry a woman whose past I know nothing about?" Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and magnetic. He slowly approached Chu Xixi, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears, making her blush and her heart beat fast.

"You...what do you mean?" Chu Xixi's voice trembled even more. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. An inexplicable throbbing spread in her heart.

"What I mean is," Xu Yuanmo reached out and gently stroked Chu Xixi's cheek. His movements were gentle and affectionate, as if he was treating a rare treasure. "From the beginning, I knew everything about you, and I also knew that you deserve to be loved and cherished."

Chu Xixi's heart was beating violently. She raised her head and looked directly into Xu Yuanmo's deep eyes, trying to find a trace of falsehood in his eyes. However, all she saw was sincerity and love.

"You...why are you..." Chu Xixi's voice choked. She didn't understand why Xu Yuanmo was so nice to her. Was he really in love with her?

"Because..." Xu Yuanmo's lips curled up into a gentle smile. He slowly lowered his head and whispered in Chu Xixi's ear, "You are the most special girl I have ever met. Your strength, your kindness, and your talent all deeply attracted me and made me unable to extricate myself."

Chu Xixi's heart seemed to explode. She felt like she was in the clouds, floating lightly, yet extremely real.

"I..." Chu Xixi wanted to say something, but was gently interrupted by Xu Yuanmo.

"Don't say anything," Xu Yuanmo's lips curled up into an evil smile. He held Chu Xixi tightly in his arms and said domineeringly, "From today on, you are my woman. I will spend my whole life loving you, pampering you, protecting you, and making you the happiest woman in the world."

Chu Xixi closed her eyes and snuggled in Xu Yuanmo's warm embrace, feeling his heartbeat and breathing. An unprecedented sense of security and happiness surrounded her.

"Dong dong dong——"

Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

"Who is it?" Song Yian asked impatiently.

"It's me, Qin Shiyu." Qin Shiyu's anxious voice came from outside the door, "Xixi, are you in there? I have something urgent to talk to you about!"

Chu Xixi suddenly opened her eyes, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

"What happened?" Chu Xixi quickly pushed Xu Yuanmo away, walked to the door and asked.

"Xixi, it's bad!" Qin Shiyu's voice was filled with tears, "The dean... the dean..."

After a moment, she looked up at the man in front of her, her heart skipped a beat. Xu Yuanmo was wearing a black suit today, which made him look taller. His handsome face looked even more angular under the streetlight, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to draw people in.

"Why are you here?" Chu Xixi asked unkindly, with a hint of vigilance. Since the last time they met at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they had not contacted each other, let alone talked.

Xu Yuanmo did not answer her question, but just repeated: "Get in the car." His tone was unquestionable and carried the power of a superior.

Chu Xixi felt even more upset. What was wrong with this guy? If it weren't for the fact that he helped her that day, she would have turned around and left. Who would want to talk to him?

Qin Shiyu gently pulled the corner of Chu Xixi's clothes and whispered, "Xixi, how about we listen to what he says first?"

Chu Xixi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Qin Shiyu was right. Huo Hangfan's matter had not been dealt with yet, and Xu Yuanmo might know something.

When Xu Yuanmo saw her get into the car, his thin lips curled up slightly in an imperceptible arc, then he walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, and the car quickly merged into the traffic flow.

"Go ahead, what's the matter?" Chu Xixi said straight to the point, with a hint of impatience in her tone. She was in a very messy mood and didn't want to beat around the bush with him.

"About Huo Hangfan." Xu Yuanmo looked straight ahead, his tone calm and no emotion could be heard.

Chu Xixi's heart was shocked. As expected, he really knew something!

"What do you know?" Chu Xixi asked in a hurried tone.

Xu Yuanmo turned his head and looked at her. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"I know more than you think." Xu Yuanmo withdrew his gaze, his tone meaningful.

Chu Xixi's heart beat faster, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Chu Xixi felt annoyed. Why did this man always like to say half of what he said and leave the other half in suspense?

Xu Yuanmo did not answer her question directly, but asked in return: "Do you really understand Huo Hangfan?"

Chu Xixi was stunned. She had never seriously thought about this question. Yes, she had been with Huo Hangfan for three years. Did she really understand him?

"He...he is an orphan, without a father or a mother. I have always sympathized with him..." Chu Xixi's voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

Xu Yuanmo sneered and ruthlessly exposed her fantasy: "Orphan? Chu Xixi, you were deceived by him! He is not an orphan at all, he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Chu Xixi's heart beat into her throat, eager to know the answer.

Xu Yuanmo suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Say something!" Chu Xixi was extremely anxious. Why did this man let her down at the critical moment?

Xu Yuanmo looked at her anxious expression, a smile flashed across his deep eyes, and his tone was a little teasing: "What? Are you anxious now? Beg me, beg me and I will tell you."

"You..." Chu Xixi was furious. Why is this person like this? !

Seeing Chu Xixi's angry look, Xu Yuanmo felt better for some reason. He found that he quite liked seeing her angry look, which was very vivid and real, unlike other women who were hypocritical and artificial.

"You can ask me to tell you if you want me to." Xu Yuanmo deliberately lengthened his tone, looked into Chu Xixi's eyes, and said word by word, "Be my woman."

Chu Xixi looked at the tall man in front of her, and the scene at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau that day flashed through her mind like a movie.

It was him, the man who suddenly appeared and married her.

Chu Xixi never thought that she would meet him again under such circumstances.

"What? You don't even say hello to your husband when you see him?" Xu Yuanmo looked at the complicated expression of the woman in front of him, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Husband?

Chu Xixi got goosebumps at these two words and took a step back unnaturally, putting some distance between them.

"Who is your husband? We just agreed to get married, don't yell!"

When saying this, Chu Xixi felt inexplicably guilty, and her voice unconsciously became a little weaker.

After all, this man did help me a lot on the night of getting the marriage certificate...

Xu Yuanmo looked at her pretending to be calm and found it funny. This woman was clearly a paper tiger, but she had to pretend to be fierce.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home." Xu Yuanmo stopped teasing her and turned to walk towards the driver's seat.

Chu Xixi looked at his back, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally got into the car.

Qin Shiyu looked at the Maybach driving away and always felt that something was strange.

When did Xixi get to know such a rich friend?

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’d better go and see if that scumbag Huo Hangfan is dead!

……

The atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet.

Chu Xixi secretly looked at the man next to her. She had to say that Xu Yuanmo's profile was impeccable, especially his deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything and made people dare not look directly at him.

"Have you seen enough?" Xu Yuanmo suddenly asked, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Chu Xixi was caught, and her face was embarrassed. She said stubbornly, "Who is looking at you, narcissist!"

After saying that, she turned her head to the window and stopped looking at him.

Xu Yuanmo looked at her arrogant look and the smile on his face deepened.

This woman is becoming more and more interesting.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Xixi couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere and broke the silence first.

"I heard that you've been in some trouble recently." Xu Yuanmo did not answer her question directly, but led the topic in another direction.

Chu Xixi was shocked. Could it be that he knew about Huo Hangfan?

Impossible, she didn't tell anyone about this, how did he know?

"What do you mean?" Chu Xixi looked at him warily, with a hint of defensiveness in her tone.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to help you." Xu Yuanmo looked at her with sincere eyes, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

"Help me? How can you help me?" Chu Xixi didn't believe that he would be so kind. If he was being so kind to me for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief!
