Young Master Huo: "..."
"President Huo, let’s not stand in the middle of the road, we’re obstructing traffic."
Young Master Huo: "......"
"President Huo, that truck just scared the daylights out of , my legs are weak, help ."
An Ge was genuinely so frightened that her legs turned to jelly, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
But Young Master Huo thought she was just finding an excuse to seduce him, looking for a chance to make physical contact with him.
He sarcastically replied, "Help you? Why don’t I just carry you, hmm?"
An Ge clutched his arm tightly with both hands, using his strength to steady her feeble body.
She looked at him with an incredibly innocent gaze and said, "If President Huo is willing, I would be more than happy."
Young Master Huo: "..."
Young Master Huo wanted to curse her for being shaless and brazen, just as the traffic that they were blocking started honking incessantly.
An irritable driver even stuck his head out to curse them, "Damn it, are you trying to get killed? If you want to die, do it sowhere else..."
Because of these words, the veins on Young Master Huo’s forehead bulged as he seed ready to drag the driver out of the car for a beating. An Ge hugged his waist, "President Huo... my stomach hurts..."
Her brows were furrowed, and she looked pitifully at him, not at all like she was faking it.
Young Master Huo felt as if an invisible hand lightly brushed his heart, causing it to tighten a bit.
Almost as soon as An Ge finished speaking, he leaned down and scooped her up in his arms.
An Ge, having achieved her goal, clung tightly to his neck.
After spending this ti with him, she realized that Young Master Huo responded better to softness rather than toughness.
Playing the victim was her basic survival skill under his intimidating presence.
She had sneaked out of Fengqiao Villa that afternoon, and playing the victim now would likely make the man less inclined to hold her accountable for that.
Young Master Huo wasn’t aware of An Ge’s thoughts; after carrying her back to the car, he asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
An Ge looked at his stormy, handso face, "No... no need, I think I’m just hungry."
Young Master Huo frowned, "You’re lying to ?"
As he spoke, Fu Rou’s call ca through.
Young Master Huo answered her call, "Mom, do you need sothing?"
At this mont, Fu Rou was being pushed out of the Shore Cafe by An Baoying, and An Baoying had just witnessed Young Master Huo carrying An Ge across the street.
An Baoying recounted the scene to Fu Rou.
After hearing this, how could Fu Rou remain calm?
She called Young Master Huo almost imdiately after An Baoying finished speaking.
Her voice was clearly agitated, "Ah Yan, are you trying to drive to death?"
Young Master Huo’s brows furrowed, and his voice beca hoarser, "Mom, what on earth are you babbling about?"
Fu Rou said, "Ah Yan, I’ve already warned you. If you keep this ambiguous entanglent with that An Ge, I will die right in front of you. This is not just a casual remark..."
She took a deep breath before continuing,
"Ah Yan, you’ve really lost your mind. If she were an innocent and decent girl, even if her status was low and she wasn’t a match for you, as long as she were clean, I wouldn’t interfere with you both.
But she is not. She’s been to prison, she even carried an illegitimate child, and frequently lands you in trouble; she’s nothing but trouble..."
Young Master Huo: "You’re overthinking it..."
Fu Rou interrupted him, furious,
"Young Master Huo, is it overthinking, or are you too blinded? You get her out of the car right now, or... I’ll run to the middle of the road and let the cars run over—better than being worried to death by you!"
Because of these words, Young Master Huo instinctively glanced across the street and indeed saw Fu Rou in a wheelchair, with An Baoying standing behind her.
Young Master Huo’s throat moved, his voice deep and rough, "Understood."
Hearing this, Fu Rou finally let out a sigh of relief.
She told Young Master Huo,
"Baoying risked her life to jump into the lake to save last ti, and I haven’t properly thanked her. Tonight, I’ve arranged a dinner at Yipin Residence and invited her parents. You should co, too. Our families should formally et and discuss the details of your engagent on the fifteenth of this month."
Young Master Huo gave a short hum, and Fu Rou then ended the call.
Young Master Huo opened the passenger side door at this point, looking at the woman who had fallen asleep just while he was on the phone.
She was sleeping deeply, lightly snoring.
Young Master Huo quietly watched her for nearly half a minute before shaking her awake, "Get out."
An Ge was jolted awake by him, looking at him confusedly with bleary eyes, "Uh, did we get here already?"
Before she could finish, Young Master Huo had already dragged her out of the car.
The endless flow of traffic and the early evening lights brought An Ge’s awareness back to reality.
She looked in shock at the man’s stormy handso face and was about to ask a question when the man already sped off in a cloud of dust?
She felt like an abandoned stray dog, so lonely and isolated at that mont.
She watched Young Master Huo’s car make a U-turn at the traffic lights and soon stop on the other side of the road.
Under her watchful gaze, he picked up Fu Rou and An Baoying.
So he suddenly left her behind because of them?
Oh, co to think of it, on the fifteenth of this month, the man was going to get engaged to An Baoying. Compared to his pregnant fiancée and his biological mother, she was nothing!
The emptiness in An Ge’s heart quickly dissipated.
She withdrew her gaze and, feeling lost about where to go, received a call from Xiao Chaofeng.
An Ge wanted to get so information about Lu Huai’an from Xiao Chaofeng, so she answered, "Hello?"
Xiao Chaofeng got straight to the point and said,
"Yesterday, I drank too much, and then with everything that happened, I didn’t have ti to ask you. I want to ask, how did you and Nan Xiao et in prison? Why are you so close?"
Thinking of Nan Xiao’s words, An Ge avoided the core issue and said,
"We were in the sa cell block. Once during outdoor activity, she suddenly had a massive hemorrhage, and I quickly inford the guards. That’s how she didn’t die from a miscarriage. Since then, we’ve been on good terms."
Hearing this, Xiao Chaofeng’s breathing on the other end grew rapid, his voice filled with urgency, "Miscarriage?"
An Ge confird with a hum, casually adding, "Nan Xiao ntioned that the child was yours."
Xiao Chaofeng remained silent for nearly half a minute.
An Ge pulled the phone away to check if he had hung up, confirming he was just silent due to the revelation.
An Ge then proceeded to ask about what concerned her,
"I want to know how Chairman Lu is doing. When Mrs. Lu ca to settle the score with , the hospital said he woke up. Is he getting better now?"
Xiao Chaofeng answered with sothing off-topic, "I want to see her, help set up a eting, and I’ll invest ten million in your and Xiao Ye’s dia company."
What a tempting offer!
An Ge was intrigued but couldn’t betray her friend for money.
She said, "Sorry, I won’t betray a friend for money."
"Twenty million..."
"Master Xiao, I already said I’m not that kind of person."
"Fifty million."
An Ge coughed lightly,
"Actually... you do owe Nan Xiao an apology. If you sincerely want to apologize, I can try to help. Wait for my news."
After saying this, Xiao Chaofeng asked a question that left An Ge quite shocked, "Do you like that rascal Huo Shaoyan?"
