He was so agitated that he gripped her shoulders with both hands, his voice hoarse to the extre,
"Please, clarify what you’ve just said, okay?"
An Ge’s shoulders ached from his grip. She raised her hand to push his away, then turned around.
She thought of the son who Sister Li had taken away first, only for him to die tragically in that fire. Her grief surged instantly from her heart.
It was rare for her emotions to be this intense in recent years.
With her back facing him, An Ge forcibly held back the tears welling up in her eyes, turned back, and looked at Huo Shaoyan with reddened eyes, coldly saying,
"They’re all dead, not one survived. Do you understand?"
Huo Shaoyan’s entire chest trembled fiercely.
His phoenix eyes stared unblinkingly at her. After a long while, he spoke in a cold and deep voice, "You’re lying to . You must be lying. I don’t believe it."
An Ge sneered, "The truth doesn’t care if you believe it or not. Huo Shaoyan, you have no idea how much I fucking hate you!"
Huo Shaoyan’s chest trembled again.
An Ge struggled to calm her sowhat collapsing emotions. After taking several deep breaths, she continued,
"Back then, I begged you so much, yet you never gave a way out. Throughout my mid and late pregnancy, you imprisoned in that 160-square-ter house in Yu Garden. During that ti, you had people co every month to draw my blood on ti, never once caring whether I lived or died. You allowed An Muxin to co to my face to insult and even beat . All of this, I hated deeply. It’s not like I couldn’t forgive you. After all, you had your reasons. You thought I was pregnant with the child of the drug lord, Scorpion. You wanted to force to abort, to get revenge for your white moonlight, Qin Xiaoqi. I understood... But, when my child died tragically, I realized I’d never forgive you in this lifeti..."
She paused for a mont, "Never!"
Huo Shaoyan’s phoenix eyes scrutinized every expression on her face, not missing any unusual emotion.
After An Ge’s words, he said,
"What I owe you, I will compensate. But An Xiaoge, whether what you said is truly the case, we will talk about it after the DNA paternity test is done."
An Ge had already anticipated Huo Shaoyan’s attitude. Therefore, feeling that the conversation had reached a point, she said,
"If you want a paternity test, fine. But the children are still sleeping. If you’re willing to wait, then wait until they wake up tomorrow morning."
With one hand in his trouser pocket, Huo Shaoyan gave An Ge a deep look with a pointed tone,
"You have an astute mind. To prevent any tricks, I want to get their hair samples now."
An Ge raised an eyebrow, "That’s not impossible." She paused, "But I have a request."
Huo Shaoyan: "Speak."
An Ge curved her lips, "You just said you would compensate for what you owe . Do you an it?"
Huo Shaoyan hesitated barely at all, "I always keep my word."
An Ge coldly and mockingly laughed,
"Really? Then why have you never fulfilled any promises to ? Do you rember the first blood supply agreent we signed back then? Not only did you promise to be a protector for and my mother, but you also promised to pay 50 million after the expiration and to take care of my children should anything happen to ...You ended up doing none of it."
Huo Shaoyan was at a loss for words.
An Ge continued speaking:
"But it’s all in the past. Living in the pain of the past is aningless for anyone, let alone I’m very happy now, and there’s no need to dig up old scores with you."
Huo Shaoyan’s face, which had never looked good, beca even grimr, and he said coldly,
"You don’t need to keep emphasizing how happy you are now with . I’ve already investigated and found that the man is just your fling at most, nothing more."
An Ge curved her lips and said,
"I was your fling before, wasn’t I? And in the end, I beca your Mrs. Huo, didn’t I? So it’s possible I’ll marry my dear sweetheart too. Besides, he’s not only handso and wealthy but also quite skilled at pleasing a woman in bed. I feel particularly satisfied every ti."
"Enough!"
Huo Shaoyan finally couldn’t suppress himself and roared.
The angrier he was, the more delightful An Ge felt inside.
She laughed, saying,
"Tsk, jealous?" She paused, "Alright, I won’t provoke you anymore. Let’s talk about serious matters. You said before you would compensate . Does that an you will et any of my requests?"
Huo Shaoyan pulled out a cigarette, intending to light it, but An Ge snatched the lighter from his hand.
She tossed his lighter into the trash can, "I hate n smoking the most. I’ve wanted to tell you about this a long ti ago."
Huo Shaoyan squinted his eyes, saying, "An Xiaoge, don’t rely on my guilt toward you to be fearless..."
An Ge stepped forward, looking up at him,
"What now? Want to threaten like before? President Huo, those tactics no longer work on now."
Huo Shaoyan threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can and then imdiately pulled her into his embrace, pressing her onto the sofa.
He only pinned her beneath him, letting her feel his intense longing and deep yearning, yet he didn’t attempt to kiss her.
He grinded close to her, his voice rough and dangerous,
"An Xiaoge, don’t say now, even five years ago, there weren’t many people in the entire Imperial Country who dared to defy . Are you sure you now have the capability to act against ? Outside the Fusheng Residence are all my people. As long as I give the command, I can co up with eight hundred reasons to throw your so-called boyfriend into prison for a few years. Do you believe it?"
An Ge laughed and said,
"Of course, I believe." She paused, "But my dear sweetheart is impressive too. You might not necessarily gain anything from him."
Huo Shaoyan pinched her soft cheek, mocking coldly,
"How useless must a man be to let his woman be oppressed by another man in his own territory and remain indifferent?"
An Ge: "..."
Huo Shaoyan continued,
"An Ge, frankly speaking, I do owe you, but not to the point of being servile for you. So don’t be too arrogant, or else no one will have a good ti."
There, the devil is always a devil. He’s never truly going to turn over a new leaf.
An Ge decided not to play with him anymore and got back to the main point:
"I want sothing from you." She paused, "Promise to give it to , and I’ll let you get the children’s samples now."
Huo Shaoyan looked into her dark eyes, the very eyes that frequently cried in his dreams, so close now.
Huo Shaoyan’s heart moved, and he bent down to kiss her eyes.
When An Ge realized he was about to kiss her, she blocked his lips with her hand, "President Huo, you haven’t answered my question."
The scent on the woman’s hand was delightful, an enchanting fragrance that seduced his senses.
Huo Shaoyan held her wrist and brought her hand to his lips, kissing it.
An Ge didn’t resist. She intended to use him, and without giving him a little taste to lead him on, it wouldn’t succeed.
She said, "It seems President Huo still misses my body to this day."
Huo Shaoyan utterly ignored her cold sarcasm. He slid his arm under her back, pulling her whole being into his embrace.
His chin rested in the crook of her neck, truly feeling that she was alive.
Five years, and she’s still alive.
That’s good!
Huo Shaoyan thought this as he embraced her even more tightly.
But An Ge’s next sentence cast him into the deepest hell.
She said, "President Huo, if you really want to compensate , just cut out a piece of your liver for ."
Huo Shaoyan released her, his phoenix eyes reddening as he looked at her, "For what?"
An Ge wanted to test his boundaries regarding her, so she said,
"To save my current fling. He has a serious liver condition and is at the point where a liver transplant is necessary."
Almost as soon as her words ended, the man pushed her away.
He stood up quickly, responding coldly, "So your fling is terminally ill, sparing the need to handle it myself."
An Ge noticed his aura had drastically changed and hurriedly laughed, "Just kidding, President Huo, don’t take it seriously."
After speaking, she walked upstairs first, "President Huo, aren’t you here for the samples? Please follow ."
They headed to the children’s room.
In the dim wall lights, the two little ones were sleeping on one bed. The sister had a poor sleeping posture, her little feet almost kicking her brother’s face, while the brother slept neatly.
Watching them, Huo Shaoyan felt the need to breathe more gently.
Oddly, though he thought both kids might be his, his eyes were uncontrollably fixed on the little sister.
He vividly rembered how adorable she looked when she called him uncle.
It seed she loved sweets. Her mischievously charming peach blossom eyes lingered on other desserts at the table when he fed her cake.
Huo Shaoyan silently watched Huo Chenghuan for a while, then lowered himself to carefully pluck strands of her hair.
The two children were deeply asleep, and with Huo Shaoyan’s gentle movents, the process of getting hair samples with follicles went relatively smoothly.
But just as he finished plucking Huo Chenghuan’s hair and was about to straighten up, the little one opened her eyes.
Her gaze, still foggy from sleep, widened instantly when she clearly saw Huo Shaoyan’s handso face so near.
Uncontrollably, she called out, "Slly Daddy, why are you here?"
Hearing this, An Ge almost died on the spot from fright.
She quickly wedged herself between Huo Shaoyan and Huo Chenghuan, looking at the little one who realized the mistake,
"Huanhuan, are you confused from sleep? He’s not Daddy, he’s Uncle."
After she spoke, Huo Shaoyan, more emotional than before, raspily asked, "Huanhuan, did you just call ?"
