Chapter 3

The pain came quickly, and left just as fast.

Three minutes later.

The tear stains on my face hadn’t even dried before it was over.

This…

It looked good, sure.

But it was really useless.

After resting for a while, a sudden fear crept over me.

When he wakes up and finds out that I forced myself on him in his sleep,

Will he be furious?

A thought flashed through my mind: I can’t let him find out.

Since the experience wasn’t good anyway, I’ll just pretend nothing ever happened.

I helped him put his clothes and pants back on, and slipped out of his room.

The next day, Huo Yanchuan’s fever was gone.

I went downstairs for breakfast, feeling guilty the whole time, not daring to look up at him.

Fortunately, he seemed unaware of the beastly things I did to him last night.

He was as indifferent to me as always, as if I were just another ornament in this house.

I was equally indifferent to him.

Because I was born mute, I am quiet and self-conscious in front of others, used to keeping my presence to a minimum.

We finished breakfast in silence.

He got up and went to work at Huo Corporation.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened last night became a secret buried deep in my heart.

I thought it would never be mentioned again.

But unexpectedly, three months later, I found out I was pregnant.

He was supposed to be heirless-how did I get pregnant after just one time?

It seems my family’s traditional medicinal cuisine really is effective.
