An Ge’s spine tingled, and all the blood in her body boiled, making her tremble violently. Her voice carried a heavy sense of grievance as she said quietly, "I haven’t. Aside from the man who got pregnant, I’ve only been this intimately involved with you."
The temperature inside the elevator steadily rose, and the man’s breath on her neck was scorching and blistering, extrely suggestive and ambiguous.
He kissed her.
Fierce and intense, intense and desirous!
Just when An Ge thought she would drown in this deep kiss to which she couldn’t resist, the elevator doors chid open. She let out a breath of relief, feeling as if a burden had been lifted from her heart. Just as she expected, the man let her go.
She felt weak from the kiss, and when Huo Shaoyan pulled away, she hurriedly grabbed his arm. Her eyes held a misty allure, and her voice was soft and charming, "President Huo, my legs feel a bit weak."
Because of the kiss and her answer, the gloom hanging over Huo Shaoyan’s heart dissipated sowhat. He happily pulled her into his embrace, supporting her weight with his arm, and led her out of the elevator under the curious eyes of those waiting.
Young girls passing by whispered excitedly. "Wow, that man is so handso."
"That girl must be so lucky, look, her legs are weak."
"Getting frisky in the elevator, now that’s wild. Even adult film stars wouldn’t dare..."
The whispers quickly faded away.
An Ge was so embarrassed she could die, burying her entire face in Huo Shaoyan’s chest, unwilling to show herself.
Her voice was muffled and a bit displeased, "President Huo, can we, next ti... do this at ho? I don’t like this..."
Huo Shaoyan countered, "Don’t like it, but you’re still so weak?"
An Ge argued, "Only because you were too intense, I was suffocating..."
She didn’t even finish her words before the man pinched her waist hard. He laughed lowly, "Was it just suffocation? Want to check if you got wet?"
An Ge: "..."
What kind of dog was Huo Shaoyan?
In the jewelry store, Huo Shaoyan had given notice in advance. As he entered with An Ge, the owner imdiately ca out to greet them warmly.
The owner was very enthusiastic, saying, "President Huo, the wedding rings you ordered are ready. Would you like to take them straight away, or would you like Mrs. Huo to try them on first? If she doesn’t like them, we can always make adjustnts later..."
Huo Shaoyan replied, "Try them on."
...
[In the VIP reception room.]
An Ge looked at the pink diamond ring on her ring finger, which emitted a cool glow. The pink diamond’s carat weight wasn’t exaggerated, probably not even a carat, but the craftsmanship was exceptionally exquisite. Coupled with the high quality of the pink diamond, she found herself liking it overall.
"Do you like it?" Huo Shaoyan asked her.
An Ge nodded, "It’s nice."
Huo Shaoyan frowned, "I asked if you like it. You need to answer with ’I like it’ or ’I don’t like it.’"
Before he could get angry, An Ge kissed his stiff cheek with her red lips, "I like it, thank you President Huo for giving dignity."
Her words delighted Huo Shaoyan, making his face display a rare expression of pleasure.
His voice was mild, "Reciprocity."
He referred to the Buddha Beads that An Ge had given him.
After coming out of the jewelry store, An Ge received a call from Fu Rou. It didn’t take much thought to know that Fu Rou wouldn’t have a pleasant deanor toward her. But if she didn’t answer, Fu Rou certainly wouldn’t let it go.
Thinking of this, An Ge held her phone up to Huo Shaoyan, looking up at him, "President Huo, should I answer?"
Looking at her pale but significantly thinner face, Huo Shaoyan took the phone from her hand. Fu Rou had been staging a drama recently, threatening to commit suicide to force him to divorce An Ge.
He had allowed An Baoying to stay at his Fengqiao Villa and had Uncle Fu personally take care of her, which appeased Fu Rou, stopping her from pushing him to divorce An Ge any further. Fu Rou, thinking her approach with him wasn’t working, redirected her focus to An Ge.
Regardless of whether An Ge was currently Mrs. Huo in na, Fu Rou’s constant interference in his private life greatly displeased Huo Shaoyan. He answered the call and preempted her, "If you have any dissatisfaction with my marriage, you can take it out on , don’t go to her."
His words stirred an indescribable... sweetness in An Ge’s heart.
So this is what it feels like to be protected.
She obediently nestled her head against his chest, nuzzling him slightly.
Her sudden movent made all the muscles in Huo Shaoyan’s body tense. His Phoenix Eyes instantly darkened, concealing a fire within.
He instinctively reached out and rubbed her soft hair as he listened to Fu Rou’s words on the other end of the phone. Rarely, Fu Rou did not lose her temper over this matter; instead, she seed to accept the fact of his marriage to An Ge.
She told him, "Since she’s the one you insist on marrying, if I continue to oppose, it will only hurt our mother-son relationship. How about this, bring her over for a al at my place."
Huo Shaoyan toyed with An Ge’s long hair that cascaded over his chest, speaking with a half-smile, "A Hongn Banquet?"
"You protect her so well, do you think I’d tear her apart?"
Huo Shaoyan laughed softly, "The ugly daughter-in-law must et her in-laws eventually. Since you’re willing to accept her, we’ll co over for dinner tonight."
After ending the call with Fu Rou, Huo Shaoyan returned the phone to An Ge. He said, "Mom invited us over for dinner. At the family banquet, behave, okay?"
An Ge raised her head. Her charming peach blossom eyes gazed at him, "And if she throws cold water on or slaps ?"
"Not with there, she won’t."
An Ge murmured, insistent, "I said if, if sothing like that really happens, what would you do?"
Huo Shaoyan pinched her cheek, "There won’t be any if."
An Ge understood that she couldn’t avoid this family banquet. Her heart was heavy.
How could a man possibly understand the battlefield between won? This family banquet was destined to be a battleground without gunfire, and she was destined to be riddled with wounds.
"Not happy?"
Her sulky appearance made Huo Shaoyan frown.
Even if she wasn’t happy, An Ge couldn’t say it. She managed a smile at him, "I’m just worried about what gift to bring so your mother wouldn’t disdain it."
"Aren’t you skilled at embroidery? The white magnolia handkerchief you embroidered last ti, she really liked it."
An Ge said, "There’s not enough ti to embroider. Besides, tis have changed. Now she extrely dislikes my status. Even if I bring her a mountain of gold, she’d find faults."
Huo Shaoyan frowned, "So what you’re saying is you just don’t want to go?"
An Ge felt wronged, "I didn’t. I just fear that because of , you’ll fall out with your mother. I don’t want to make your position as a son difficult."
Huo Shaoyan scoffed coldly, "You really seem to care for ." After a pause, "I’ll handle the gift."
An Ge’s eyes curved into a smile, "That’s what I was waiting to hear. If you give it, even if she doesn’t like it, she wouldn’t find fault with her son."
She rarely smiled like this in front of him, and it made Huo Shaoyan’s heart stir slightly. His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and he leaned down to plant a kiss on her eyelid, "Mrs. Huo, if you always stay this obedient and sensible, I’d really spoil you."
An Ge looked up at his handso face so close, asking, "What does it an to be obedient and sensible?"
