Young Master Huo didn’t even think before giving a clear response, "Naturally, I choose her."
An Ge nodded and said, "Do you have a more precise answer? For example, how do you plan to deal with and the child in my womb?" She paused, "Will you keep the child and abandon the mother, or leave us both?"
Huo Shaoyan remained silent.
An Ge also stayed quiet.
She seed to have her answer.
Not wanting to make things awkward, she changed the subject, "I’m hungry."
The doorbell rang at that mont.
Hearing the doorbell, An Ge couldn’t help but think to herself how lively this place had beco, with new visitors arriving one after another.
Huo Shaoyan reached the door before she could.
Standing at the door was Fu Rou.
Upon seeing the apron tied around Huo Shaoyan’s waist, Fu Rou’s eyes widened in shock.
She couldn’t believe that her stubborn son would one day cook for a woman.
So astonished, she attempted to speak several tis but couldn’t make a sound.
Huo Shaoyan was visibly displeased with her uninvited visit.
He frowned, "Why are you here?"
Not wanting to escalate the recent tension in their mother-son relationship, Fu Rou suppressed her anger and tried to speak calmly, "Your little uncle is coming to Jingcheng for treatnt for his leg, and I ca with a realtor to look at nearby properties. I saw your car downstairs and asked Assistant Qin about it, which is how I found out you were here."
After explaining, her gaze fell on An Ge. "Ms. An, won’t you invite in to sit for a while?"
An Ge replied, "It’s not impossible."
Fu Rou: "..."
Fu Rou eventually entered.
Once inside, she took a few minutes to thoroughly inspect An Ge’s spacious flat, not even skipping the bathroom.
Despite the absence of Huo Shaoyan’s toiletries, Fu Rou noticed sothing wrapped in a crumpled tissue in the bathroom trash bin, instantly understanding what it was.
Her heart ached with anger.
That ’Demoness’ was ridiculous, seducing her son even while pregnant!
Maintaining her composure, she quietly took a seat at the dining table.
Huo Shaoyan raised an eyebrow at her, saying, "I didn’t make any food for you."
The implication was that she could leave.
However, Fu Rou didn’t intend to back down so quickly, smiling, "I’ve never tried your cooking. Can’t be so stingy, can you?"
Huo Shaoyan didn’t respond.
Fu Rou picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish. The flavors exceeded her expectations.
After putting down the chopsticks, she sincerely remarked, "I never thought your cooking would be this good."
Huo Shaoyan chuckled lightly, "When you’re neither favored by your father nor loved by your mother, you naturally master all sorts of skills to survive."
Fu Rou’s face turned sour, "Are you blaming ?"
With a smile, Huo Shaoyan replied, "If you’re here to drive a wedge between us, I certainly have reason to bla you."
Fu Rou stord off in anger.
Before leaving, she said aningfully to An Ge, "Do you really think he truly likes you? If a man genuinely likes a woman, the worst would be to sleep with another woman. He was with An Baoying before coming to you today."
That stung An Ge. Reflecting on Huo Shaoyan’s intimacy with An Baoying and how she humbly served him tonight made her feel instantly nauseated.
After Fu Rou left, An Ge rushed to the bathroom and threw up violently.
Naturally, she lost her appetite for dinner.
Huo Shaoyan also looked displeased.
He waited until An Ge finished throwing up, then leaned against the bathroom doorfra and, seeing her pale face, asked, "Does it upset you?"
An Ge retorted, "President Huo, wouldn’t it upset you if I had sothing with another man?"
Huo Shaoyan’s brows knit deeply, his voice dropping several degrees, "Of course. It’s said you got involved with Tang Jiuze at sixteen, even becoming secretly pregnant? Though you never admitted it, Tang Jiuze more or less accepted it. That bothers more than being set up to end up in bed with An Baoying. So, if it bothers you, you really have no choice but to handle this for ."
From sowhere, perhaps in a montary surge of emotion, An Ge mustered the courage and slapped him.
The slap caught Huo Shaoyan off guard, making solid contact.
Almost instinctively, he raised his arm, but he couldn’t bring himself to strike her back.
Instead, he clenched his fist and punched the bathroom’s glass door, leaving his hand bloodied.
Afterwards, he walked away without any hint of nostalgia.
The next day, Qin Lang ca to An Ge with divorce papers.
Presenting them to her, Qin Lang hesitated, "If you don’t object, you can sign."
An Ge skimd through the papers before signing her na.
After signing, she asked an important question, "When can the process be completed?"
Qin Lang replied, "Once the Young Master signs, the lawyer will handle the procedures." He paused, "However, the Young Master flew to the Imperial City for a business trip this morning and instructed to handle this matter. It will take at least two weeks for him to return."
An Ge simply responded, "Noted."
Before leaving, Qin Lang left two bodyguards behind.
An Ge frowned and asked, "I don’t quite understand what this ans?"
Qin Lang explained, "The Young Master still harbors so feelings for you. Until your child’s paternity is confird, these bodyguards will ensure your safety."
An Ge licked her lips, "You might as well say they’re here to supervise ."
Ti flew by; two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.
At sixteen weeks pregnant, Qin Lang ca to escort An Ge to the hospital for an amniocentesis DNA paternity test.
Joining her for the test was An Baoying.
Huo Shaoyan’s aunt, Huo Nuan, was in charge of the procedure, yet when samples were to be collected, she handed the task to her assistant due to an ergency surgery.
Amniocentesis, causing only minimal pain without anesthesia, mainly requires emotional reassurance.
An Ge was accompanied by Sister Li; An Baoying naturally had Bai ilan with her.
During the dual procedures, Bai ilan exchanged glances with Sister Li several tis.
Sister Li ignored her, prompting Bai ilan to sidle up and discreetly threaten, "Sister Li, I know you feel guilty towards An Ge and care for her, but don’t forget our deal. Think of your children."
...
Half an hour post-procedure, Huo Nuan questioned her assistant if the sampling went smoothly.
The assistant confird, "Very smoothly."
Huo Nuan nodded, "I’ll personally handle the sample analysis."
"Yes," the assistant replied.
The DNA test via amniocentesis typically took longer than regular paternity tests, a minimum of two weeks usually.
But with additional resources, it could be expedited to within a week.
After completing the sample analysis, Huo Nuan called Huo Shaoyan, "Samples have been collected and sent for testing. Results should be ready in a week."
On the other end, Huo Shaoyan had returned from his business trip.
At this mont, he stood downstairs at the hospital.
Early January in Jingcheng was the coldest ti of the year.
In the parking area below, breath turning to frost, he glanced up at the hospital building and solemnly asked, "Which one are you concerned about?"
