He got involved with other won indiscriminately, and she never once uttered a word of disapproval. She casually went out with friends, and in his eyes, that was shaless.
Even the most mild-tempered person would be annoyed.
Of course, An Ge knew her own limits and quickly realized she shouldn’t provoke Huo Shaoyan like this.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I overreacted." After a pause, "I already texted you in advance about going out with Xiao Ye, it’s not what you think."
Once An Ge finished speaking, she hung up on Huo Shaoyan.
After that, she acted as if the call hadn’t affected her at all and continued discussing the previous topic with Xiao Ye.
An Ge grew more and more curious about Qin Huaisheng, so she asked Xiao Ye, "What kind of woman is she really?"
Xiao Ye candidly replied,
"How would I know? Anyway, she’s undoubtedly a first-class beauty. However, I’ve heard that the person Qin Huaisheng loves isn’t Fu Huaijin but soone else. But Fu Huaijin’s feelings for Qin Huaisheng are so obsessive that I’ve heard he visits the Qin Family’s Ancestral Tomb every year on Qin Family’s morial day and stays there for three days."
An Ge instinctively asked, "When is Qin Family’s morial day?"
Xiao Ye said, "It seems to be tomorrow, December 17th every year."
For no apparent reason, An Ge felt a bit agitated and said, "I... I want to go see the Qin Family’s Ancestral Tomb, do you know a way?"
Xiao Ye was montarily astonished and then said,
"After the Qin Family massacre, the Qin Family’s Ancestral Tomb was completely dug up. The current one was rebuilt by the governnt in collaboration with the Fu Family and the An Family. To prevent such incidents from happening again, the Qin Family’s Ancestral Tomb has been guarded for the past decade. Outsiders can’t get in."
An Ge thought for a mont and asked, "Can Huo Shaoyan get in?"
"Of course he can. Qin Huaisheng saved his life, and he was the only disciple Qin Huaisheng ever took, so he absolutely can."
Hearing this, An Ge ca up with a plan.
Since tomorrow marked the Qin Family’s morial day, given Huo Shaoyan’s character, he would definitely go pay his respects. Perhaps if she offered herself to him and softened him up a bit, he might agree to her request.
The two of them strolled around Xiao Nancheng until evening before returning to the hotel.
After Xiao Ye dropped An Ge off at the hotel, he was called away by his father.
Following this, An Ge watched the lights of [Imperial City] as night fell, then took out her phone to call the Huo Shaoyan who vanished after walking away for a day.
The call went through, but it wasn’t Huo Shaoyan who answered. It was Fu Rou.
Fu Rou’s attitude towards An Ge was uncharacteristically gentle, not as aggressively confrontational as before, yet the soft knives she used hurt more than hard ones.
She said to An Ge,
"To be frank, if it weren’t for your entanglent with Ah Yan, I personally would quite like you. But, Ms. An, you’re about to be a mother. You should understand a mother’s heart, shouldn’t you? Would you want your future son to marry a disgraceful woman like yourself?
You’ve co to this point with Ah Yan, and you know better than anyone that it’s not honorable. Marriages that are dishonorable and not blessed by elders are bound to fall apart sooner or later. You should know that your relationship with Ah Yan won’t last, right?"
An Ge agreed with Fu Rou’s words and nodded slightly, "Yes, it’s true that it won’t last with him. So, what are you worrying about?"
Fu Rou was montarily at a loss for words.
An Ge continued,
"Lady Fu, it’s only a matter of ti before I break it off with him. So, there’s no need for you to target in every way. But I need to talk to him now; please call him over for ..."
Fu Rou refused her, "He’s busy and can’t take your call right now."
An Ge furrowed her brows and asked, "What’s he busy with?"
Not wanting An Ge to cling to Huo Shaoyan, Fu Rou lied,
"He drank too much at noon with the elders of the Fu Family, and Baoying has been with him in the room resting. Both of them haven’t gotten up yet."
An Ge tightened her grip on the phone and hung up on Fu Rou.
After that, Fu Rou looked up and saw Huo Shaoyan coming out of the guest room.
His expression was somber, even frighteningly gloomy. He stepped toward her in just a few strides and said coldly,
"Do you really wish to disrupt the balance in our mother-son relationship?"
Fu Rou’s heart twisted in pain, and with her eyes reddened, she said, "I only want what’s best for you..."
Huo Shaoyan rubbed his aching temple and interrupted her in a low voice,
"For my good? If you wanted the best for , you wouldn’t have lost back then because of a piece of scum, leaving to wander without clothes on my back, living in constant insecurity, and even licking blood from the blade."
Fu Rou’s heart felt like it was being torn to shreds as tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably.
She uttered in a sorrowful apology, "I’m sorry..."
Huo Shaoyan realized he had spoken too harshly.
After taking a deep breath, his voice softened slightly,
"We can discuss other things, but do not ddle with my personal affairs with her." After a pause, "Don’t repeat the old tricks, putting An Baoying in my bed again."
While speaking, An Baoying stepped out of the guest room behind him, wearing a nightgown.
Her eyes were a bit red, and she seed quite aggrieved.
In truth, she understood better than anyone of Huo Shaoyan’s utter disgust toward her.
Up until now, she had plenty of chances to have sothing happen with Huo Shaoyan.
But in reality, Huo Shaoyan hadn’t touched even a strand of her hair.
Thinking about it, she beca angry.
Her grievances were completely ignored by Huo Shaoyan.
He quickly grabbed his cell phone and went downstairs.
In the parking lot of the [Fu Mansion], he made a call to An Ge, but she didn’t answer.
At that ti, she was hailing a taxi.
Once she got into the cab, she received Huo Shaoyan’s second call and picked up.
She seed entirely unaffected by Fu Rou’s words and said, "I have sothing to discuss with you."
While smoking, Huo Shaoyan made a sound of acknowledgnt and asked, "What is it?"
An Ge replied, "Are you... busy?"
Huo Shaoyan felt a bit irritated. He wasn’t actually busy, but he didn’t want to see An Ge at that mont.
Ever since An Baoying shared a bed with him, every ti he faced An Ge, he felt so pressure.
So, he said, "Yes, a bit."
An Ge pressed her lips together and still decided to confront him, asking,
"Busy sleeping with An Baoying? Have I caused you such significant inconvenience or pressure? Why is it so hard for to see my own husband?"
Huo Shaoyan swallowed audibly, and after quite a while, he said, "Where are you? I’ll co find you..."
"No need. Since you’re so busy, I’ll just co to find you."
Huo Shaoyan’s voice raised a bit, "You’re coming to the Fu Mansion?"
Soon, her voice ca through the phone, sounding as if she were amused yet still gentle.
"You don’t need to be so nervous. I won’t go in. I just want to see you, and once I see you at the gate, I’ll say what I have to say and leave."
Huo Shaoyan’s lips thinned, "What on earth is so significant that you have to co here in person to explain?"
