Unexpectedly, Huo Shaoyan was not angered by Huo Qingzhou’s words. He rely retorted coldly, "If you caught your true love flirting with another man, could you remain this calm?"
The implication was clear; he would have thrown a punch at this adulterer long ago.
Huo Qingzhou chuckled, half-seriously saying, "Alright, don’t be jealous. We, the two brothers, barely get to et once a year. Since we’ve bumped into each other, shall we have a chat?"
He paused, "Father’s health is getting worse. He... hopes you could visit him."
Huo Shaoyan scoffed, "He’s your father, not mine."
Huo Qingzhou raised an eyebrow and continued, "Fine, even if you don’t acknowledge him as your father, can you at least do us brothers a favor and have a talk?"
"We indeed need to talk, but I don’t have ti tonight."
With that, Huo Shaoyan strode away. An Ge, eager to appease him, hastily gave Huo Qingzhou a license plate number, saying, "Go find Anna, let her pick you up." After that, she hurried off to find Huo Shaoyan. [Imperial City]
But Huo Shaoyan was walking fast, and with just a turn, An Ge couldn’t spot him anymore.
Huo Qingzhou was busy dealing with Huo Qing’s matter and had no leisure to care about An Ge, so he quickly left too.
An Ge searched the airport extensively but couldn’t find Huo Shaoyan. Thus, she had no choice but to take out her phone and call his number.
She called several tis, but he didn’t answer. It was only on the fifth call that the phone was picked up.
However, the voice on the other end wasn’t Huo Shaoyan’s, but An Muxin’s, who should have been in Imperial City.
An Muxin now viewed her as a nesis and greeted her with a sharp and an tone, "An Ge, I’ve never seen a woman as shaless as you. Let tell you, Brother Yan is now mine. We’ve already behaved as husband and wife, and after our last session, I didn’t take any birth control pills. If luck favors, I might soon be pregnant with his child. So, please stay away from him..."
An Ge interrupted her, "Why is his phone in your hands?"
An Muxin said arrogantly, "What do you think? He personally ca to the airport to pick up and gave his phone to keep. Where do you think you rank in his heart?"
With that, An Muxin hung up on An Ge.
After ending the call, she walked out from the bathroom stall.
She went to the sink, washed her hands, and reapplied her lipstick in front of the mirror.
After finishing, she called An Baoying.
An Baoying had recently been feigning madness and was quite successful at it. Everyone believed she had truly lost her mind.
Furthermore, she was indeed pregnant with Huo Zhendong’s child, so Mrs. Huo consented to her living in the Huo Mansion.
Not only that, but Mrs. Huo also arranged for servants to specifically care for her.
Huo Zhendong was even more attentive towards An Baoying, afraid of failing to protect the child she carried, despite her erratic behavior. [Huo Mansion]
At this mont, An Baoying was alone in her room, so she didn’t need to keep up the act.
She answered An Muxin’s call, "Princess An, I have followed your plan. Huo Huaisang ate the blueberry-stuffed sauce and is now hospitalized for treatnt."
An Muxin praised, "You’ve done well." She paused, "I’m currently at the airport. When things settle down, let’s find a ti to et."
An Baoying replied, "Sure, I’ll do as you say."
After ending the call with An Baoying, An Muxin walked out of the won’s restroom.
Huo Shaoyan was waiting outside by a stone pillar.
He stood with his back to her, one hand in his suit pants pocket—a re silhouette of strength and handsoness that stirred her heart.
Huo Huaisang was allergic to blueberries, and the allergy could trigger his hematological disorder.
Every episode required a blood transfusion to alleviate the symptoms.
Huo Huaisang had a rare blood type that only hers could alleviate.
So, when Huo Shaoyan called to request her assistance, she ca.
An Muxin believed she could seize this opportunity to reconcile with Huo Shaoyan and ruin that bitch An Ge’s reputation.
The re thought of soon crushing An Ge underfoot and humiliating her made An Muxin feel instantly invigorated.
In a few quick steps, she reached Huo Shaoyan and said, "Brother Yan, I’ve already reported my safety to the family. Here’s your phone."
An Muxin claid her phone was dead, so she borrowed Huo Shaoyan’s phone.
Since Huo Shaoyan needed her help now, lending his phone wasn’t an issue.
After taking the phone from An Muxin, he calmly said, "Let’s go, the car’s outside. We’ll go straight to the hospital."
An Muxin made a move to link arms with him, "Sure. As you say."
Huo Shaoyan didn’t want her touching him, but An Muxin insisted.
She forcibly held his arm, saying, "I agreed to donate blood to your son because I like and admire you. If you were a nobody, why would I sacrifice my health to save him?"
She added, feeling wronged, "We’ve even done that kind of thing. What’s wrong with holding your arm? You wouldn’t stop pinning down that night."
Huo Shaoyan frowned, his gaze sharp as he looked at her, "That night, I don’t think I touched you..."
"What do you an by ’think’? If you didn’t touch , how do you explain the bloodstain on the bed? Did I break my hyn myself?"
Huo Shaoyan frowned even more, "We have no engagent now—if anything happened that night, it was your choice."
With that, Huo Shaoyan pulled his arm free from An Muxin’s grasp and walked ahead.
An Muxin wasn’t angry, she quickly caught up.
An Ge caught sight of them at this mont, across the ebb and flow of the crowd.
The man strode briskly in the lead, the woman trailing behind like a little wife.
Several tis, the woman tried to reach out to hold his arm, only to be rejected coldly by him.
But on the last try, she grabbed his sleeve, and he didn’t push her away, and then she smiled.
An Ge stood there, watching their retreating figures.
Finally, she ran in the direction they left.
She managed to catch up to them before they got into the car.
An Muxin hadn’t expected An Ge to also be at the airport, and upon appearing, she astonishingly said to the man beside her,
"So, you’re not willing to talk to now? Just over an hour ago, you seed like you couldn’t live without , and now, you’re treating like this. I’m a bit confused about what you an, President Huo."
These words made An Muxin’s jealousy almost boil over.
She fiercely eyed the deep hickeys on An Ge’s neck and her lips, slightly swollen from the kisses.
An Muxin bit her lip, holding back her anger.
She heard Huo Shaoyan speak to An Ge with an indifference that cut deep,
"I’m too busy to deal with you now. Go back by yourself, wait till I’m done, then I’ll settle the score with you."
With that, Huo Shaoyan shoved An Muxin into the car. He was about to follow her in when An Ge stopped him.
"My... my car was taken by Huo Qingzhou..."
Huo Shaoyan glared at her, "Get a cab yourself."
With those words, he slamd the car door and instructed the driver to speed off.
Soon, their car disappeared into the bustling traffic.
An Ge stood dazed for quite a while before she finally hailed a cab.
She returned to the apartnt near the hospital where Huo Shaoyan stayed.
Perhaps she was too exhausted, for she slipped on the stairs, scraping her entire knee.
Back in the apartnt, she was too tired to tend to her knee and fell asleep on the couch.
The next day, she was shaken awake.
But it wasn’t Huo Shaoyan who woke her, it was Secretary Jin.
Secretary Jin, with a worried expression, looked at her and said, "Did you have a fight with President Huo?"
Lying on the couch the whole night had left An Ge’s muscles aching badly.
She massaged her stiff muscles and did a few stretching exercises at the spot, exposing a pale supple waist, tantalizing enough to make Secretary Jin gulp.
Secretary Jin looked at her, "You can’t rely on n. People like President Huo—cold and callous—are even more unreliable. If you need warmth, I can definitely..."
An Ge was instantly more awake from her words.
She hurriedly pushed Secretary Jin farther away, saying seriously, "I don’t have a problem with my sexuality. Don’t get so close to . Now, what did he send you here for?"
Secretary Jin straightened her face, saying, "He asked to take you to Fengqiao Villa. From his tone, it sounded like he was in a bad mood."
An Ge went to the bathroom, rinsed and brushed, then said to Secretary Jin, "What exactly did he say?"
Secretary Jin mimicked Huo Shaoyan’s tone, "Go grab that damn woman An Ge for ."
An Ge nodded, "He’s indeed in a bad mood."
Secretary Jin curiously asked, "What happened? When I left last night, President Huo seed quite unsatisfied with his needs from you. Is it because you didn’t et them and now he’s upset?"
An Ge, with a complex expression, looked at Secretary Jin, "Do you always talk this freely in private?"
Secretary Jin’s eyes drifted to An Ge’s well-defined chest, speaking earnestly, "That depends on the person. I’ve realized you’re more interesting than President Huo, so I’m curious about your needs and wish to win your favor..."
An Ge, with a headache, said, "Stop, stop... I’m really not interested in won, please don’t gross out."
Secretary Jin regarded her, genuine sincerity in her voice, "But I truly an it with you..."
An Ge cut her off, "If you keep this up, I’ll ask President Huo to fire you."
Secretary Jin said, "Fine, I won’t push you. Tell , how did you provoke President Huo? You seem quite troubled by it. Talk to , I might have so advice for you."
An Ge was indeed troubled by this.
Her current principle was not to offend Huo Shaoyan under any circumstance.
As a result, after detailing the scenario to Secretary Jin, she remarked, "That’s about it."
Secretary Jin nodded, offering an objective analysis, "If I were a man, I’d be angry too. n are inherently possessive, and to President Huo, you’re now his woman. Being caught cuddling with another man is like painting a green hue over his head, so, yes, this is quite a tricky situation."
An Ge looked at her, "You also find it tricky? Aren’t you his secretary? Haven’t you been with him for years and still have no solution?"
