In an instant, An Ge’s pupils dilated to the extre. It was as if a shiver ran from her tailbone to her scalp, and it took her a mont to react. She raised her hand and pushed him hard, her expression displeased as she said, "President Huo, you’ve had too much to drink."
Huo Shaoyan was pushed away and did not continue to pester her. He walked over to the sofa; his head seed a bit dizzy, and once seated, he slouched back on it.
Then, he started ordering her around, "Get a glass of water."
An Ge complied. Not only did she pour a glass of warm water for him, but she also helped him drink it. Once he finished the water, he closed his eyes and rested, his chest rising and falling as if calming sothing.
An Ge stood by for a mont, watching him. Seeing he made no movents, she fetched a blanket and covered him with it. After adjusting the blanket, she planned to straighten up and return to her room, when her wrist was held by the man, and in the next second, she was pulled into his embrace.
He was beneath, and she was above. His palm held her waist, and his opened Phoenix Eyes held a deep, dark color, as if fire, or desire. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on her unblinkingly.
An Ge felt her scalp tingle at his brazen gaze and made to get up, "You’ve had too much to drink, I’ll go make so hangover soup..."
She was kissed. The man held the back of her head, prying open her lips and teeth, absorbing all her sweetness. Before, they had a few intimate encounters, and kissing was an essential part, but each ti he was fierce and urgent. It was the first ti he kissed her so patiently, with a low hum of coaxing, turning repeatedly, piercing her soul.
An Ge quickly surrendered. In the intensity of the mont, she ended up underneath, and her robe was nowhere to be found. Her eyes reddened as she looked at the unstoppable man, her voice trembling, "President Huo, I don’t want to..."
Huo Shaoyan was only tipsy, not drunk. His mind was clearer than ever, so he knew why she was upset. He lightly bit the soft flesh on her chest, his voice hoarse, "What did Xinxin say when she ca to see you?"
Xinxin? Such an intimate way of addressing her.
An Ge’s originally calm heart was still deeply stabbed by those two words. Stabbed, and hurt. It took a while before she pretended to be calm and replied,
"Nothing much, just staking her claim, saying that sooner or later you would be her man. The elders from both your families highly approve of your union and told to be ready to be dumped at any ti."
Huo Shaoyan, his nose sweating, looked at her still-calm eyebrows and eyes, and his initial action of advancing toward her halted. The darkness in his eyes seed to fade considerably.
He sat up, picked up her robe from the floor, and tossed it at her face, saying, "So, your rival in love ca to your doorstep to flaunt her power, and this is your calm response?"
An Ge put on her robe, her voice indifferent, "She’s not exactly a rival. Between President Huo and , it’s just a transaction. Where’s the love?"
Huo Shaoyan’s anger flared instantly, his voice chilling, "You are truly incapable of eliciting the slightest bit of sympathy. Your words alone can provoke extre disgust."
An Ge sat up after putting on her robe. She leaned against the sofa behind her, her peach blossom eyes slightly misty as she looked at the ceiling, but she forced back the mistiness within her eyes. She then turned her head to look at the man’s gloomy handso face, saying,
"So, since I’m so detestable to President Huo, why is President Huo still clinging to here? An Muxin is the Lady Fu handpicked as Mrs. Huo for you, and you can spend extravagantly on a longevity lock to make her happy. A woman like , who’s not even worth consideration, truly doesn’t deserve President Huo’s pity. So, President Huo, what are you still waiting for? You used as Qin Xiaoqi’s substitute before, now soone more suitable for her stand-in than has appeared, why are you still holding on to ? You..."
An Ge sighed lightly, her tone becoming even more steadfast, "You should sign the divorce agreent sooner rather than later."
Huo Shaoyan left, filled with rage. He had just gotten downstairs when Fu Rou called him. On the call, Fu Rou spoke earnestly,
"Ah Yan, I’ve had Xinxin accompany you these past few days because I want you to see for yourself that playthings and love are two different matters. To be frank, if it weren’t for An Baoying carrying your child, I truly wouldn’t regard her. Especially after watching that disgraceful video of her with another man, my disgust reached its peak. After pondering over it, soone like her could never beco the mistress of a wealthy household, so..."
Huo Shaoyan sneered coldly, interrupting her, "So, you plan to save the mother and keep the child, compensate her after she gives birth, then take the child to groom Xinxin to take her place, have Xinxin beco Mrs. Huo and raise her child, is that it?"
Fu Rou did not deny it and said, "That is indeed what I’ve been thinking. The Huo and An families have been allies for a century, and if you and Xinxin could co to fruition, it would undoubtedly add flowers to a brocade for our families. Moreover, since you’ve always had Qin Xiaoqi in your heart, wouldn’t finding a woman more like her suit your preference?"
But the only response from Huo Shaoyan was the beep of the phone line. When Fu Rou called again, it wouldn’t go through.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, An Baoying arrived at her door with a girl who bore so resemblance to her. Fu Rou did not wish to receive her, but An Baoying knelt at the doorstep, declaring she wouldn’t get up unless she saw her.
Worried about tiring the child in her womb, Fu Rou eventually let her in. Fu Rou glanced at the red-eyed An Baoying, speaking coldly, "Don’t be restrained, sit down and talk."
Only then did An Baoying sit.
After she sat, Fu Rou noticed the young woman who accompanied An Baoying, looking strikingly similar to her, almost like sisters. Fu Rou squinted her eyes deeply and asked, "And she is..."
An Baoying wiped her eyes, speaking with a crying tone, "She’s my cousin, nad Bai Yuanyuan."
Fu Rou raised an eyebrow, "Why did you bring her here?"
An Baoying replied, "To clear up the misunderstanding. Last ti, the woman you saw in that video with the n in the woods wasn’t , it was my... cousin."
Fu Rou squinted even further, "Is that so?"
At this mont, An Baoying gave Bai Yuanyuan a look, then Bai Yuanyuan, intimidated, stood forward, addressing Fu Rou, "My mother is a bunny girl in a nightclub, my father Bai Fuqiang’s paramour. Before I returned to my ancestors and ancestors, I was always hanging around nightclubs with my mom, influenced over ti to beco very open. The woman in the video you saw wasn’t my cousin, it was . An Ge is just a scheming woman, she loathes my cousin’s family of three, especially after her mother died, she dreams of revenge against them, so she reversed black and white, claiming the woman in the video was my cousin. I ca today to explain this to you."
Fu Rou was half-convinced, half-doubtful, "Is what you’re saying true?"
Bai Yuanyuan curled her lips slightly, a semblance of a smile crossing her face as she said, "Lady Fu, no woman’s going to jest with her chastity. I’m only twenty this year, spreading such a scandal does no good. My college tuition was sponsored by my cousin, no matter what, I know to repay kindness. Of course, if you don’t believe , feel free to investigate."
This explanation from Bai Yuanyuan made Fu Rou believe her. Indeed, she found An Baoying much more agreeable now. But with An Muxin as another option, she couldn’t quite see eye-to-eye with An Baoying. Naturally, she wouldn’t outright judge her to keep her at ease.
Contemplating this, Fu Rou then said to An Baoying, "Since the truth is now clear, I’ll explain this matter to Ah Yan. The DAN paternity test results will be out in two days. Go ho and take care of yourself, once the results co, we will discuss what cos next."
Hearing this, An Baoying felt a sense of relief. She quickly made her departure.
...
**
When An Ge and Huo Shaoyan t again, it was two days later, awaiting the DNA paternity test results. [Jingcheng Hospital, VIP reception room] When An Ge arrived, An Baoying’s family of three, Huo Shaoyan, Fu Rou, and Mrs. Huo had already been there for a while.
But An Ge was alone, even the maid who took care of her day-to-day life, Sister Li, was on sick leave. Alone, she stood in stark contrast to the throng supporting An Baoying.
She sat opposite Huo Shaoyan, her gaze eting his.
