An Muxin noticed An Ge’s gaze lingering on Huo Shaoyan, so she turned to Huo Shaoyan and said,
"My leg is definitely injured. Before my leg fully recovers, you’re not allowed to remarry her. Otherwise, I will blow this matter out of proportion and do everything I can to send her to jail."
She paused for a mont,
"You can see if I have the ability to actually send her to jail. Even if I don’t have that ability, my dad and my brother certainly won’t let her off."
An Muxin’s leg was indeed injured, and she was sweating profusely from the pain, her face utterly pale.
After calling a family doctor for a preliminary examination, the family doctor said to Huo Shaoyan,
"It’s best to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. If treatnt is delayed, it will be difficult for her to return to the stage for performances in the future."
An Muxin didn’t see Huo Shaoyan’s explicit stance on the matter. Therefore, she refused to go to the hospital for treatnt.
She called in the bodyguard Gu Changfeng and spoke to Huo Shaoyan,
"I just want to know, do you agree to the conditions I ntioned earlier or not? If you don’t agree, I’ll have Gu Changfeng call the police for right now. You should know, the head of the Jingcheng Police Station is my uncle. Do you want to see if I can get her into the police station tonight?"
Huo Shaoyan stuck a hand into his pants pocket and looked at An Muxin with cold eyes, saying,
"You should know my character. I hate being threatened the most."
An Muxin laughed as tears fell, saying,
"You forced to this point. Clearly, I’m the one who got hurt, and it’s you who wronged from the beginning..."
An Ge, who hadn’t said much all along, finally spoke up. She said to An Muxin, "Go ahead and call the police."
With that, An Muxin let out a cold laugh.
She mocked,
"An Ge, do you even know what you’re saying? Deliberately causing bodily harm and leaving soone disabled is a criminal offense. You’re already in enough trouble, and if you get involved in a criminal case, you’ll face serious consequences, not to ntion the public sha your children would endure..."
An Ge impatiently interrupted her,
"I have nothing to hide. If you want to call the police, then do it. What nonsense is this?"
An Muxin: "..."
After saying this, An Ge turned and walked toward the door.
As she was about to leave the entrance, she glanced back at An Muxin, who was sitting on the sofa, fuming, and said with a faint smile,
"I’ll be waiting for your uncle at the police station to lead the team and co arrest ."
With that, she walked out without looking back.
Outside, waiting for her on a bench, was Huo Shiqian. When he saw her co out, he quickly stood up and walked toward her.
Seeing her face not looking well, Huo Shiqian frowned slightly and said,
"I’m sorry for putting you in this difficult position because of my situation."
An Ge crouched down slightly, looking at Huo Shiqian, and said,
"Ah Qian, don’t overthink. The problem between and Huo Shaoyan and the others has never been because of you..."
Huo Shiqian gazed steadily at An Ge with his deep blue eyes, pursing his lips before confidently saying,
"But the fact is, because of , you compromised with Uncle Huo; he forced you to remarry and you agreed, didn’t you?"
An Ge felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart.
She raised her hand and gently patted Huo Shiqian’s thick black hair, speaking earnestly,
"Ah Qian, this matter really has nothing to do with you. Please don’t overthink it or bla yourself, okay?"
Huo Shiqian looked at her and said,
"I just want you to have a better life, not to live like this in misery."
He hesitated and then said, "I... I want to return to the Gu Family and acknowledge my roots."
Without thinking, An Ge responded, "I don’t agree."
Huo Shiqian, in an unusually firm tone, said,
"This is my truest feeling. Although my biological father wants dead, I can’t hide here with you forever. Only by becoming truly strong can I protect myself and those I want to protect. I want to be a man who stands tall, not soone who sacrifices your happiness for my temporary comfort."
He paused for a few seconds,
"Calling you ’mom’ is from the heart, hoping that you can live well. I also hope one day I can protect you and Huanhuan like a man. So please, let go back to the Gu Family. Trust , I will be able to handle everything on my own. I’m not the timid child from five years ago anymore; I’m ten years old now..."
Considering Huo Shiqian’s life-threatening situation, An Ge couldn’t imdiately agree.
She looked deeply into Huo Shiqian’s eyes, and after a long while, she said,
"I need to discuss this with your two godfathers before I can give you a reply."
After thinking for a bit, Huo Shiqian nodded and said, "Okay."
Back at Fusheng Residence, after Huo Shiqian fell asleep, An Ge called Lu Huai’an.
After explaining Huo Shiqian’s thoughts, she asked, "What’s your stance on this matter?"
Lu Huai’an replied,
"Ah Qian is a wolf with ambition. Sooner or later, he will leave you. The fact that he is now proactively wanting to face that beastly father ans he’s already strong enough inside, which is a good thing."
An Ge, worried, said,
"But his biological father sees him as a disgrace. With the presidential election coming up, there’s no way his father will let him appear in the public eye. He will definitely find a way to eliminate this threat..."
Lu Huai’an interrupted her,
"That may be so, but you’re underestimating Ah Qian too much. If Gu Yuandong wants to get rid of Ah Qian, don’t you think Ah Qian has sothing to counteract? Ah Qian has evidence of Gu Yuandong bullying Gu Liangchen, and if this evidence becos public, Gu Yuandong’s political career will be over. Gu Yuandong values his career more than life itself; he won’t want to fail at the last minute with the election."
Pausing aningfully, he added,
"Besides, there’s , and Huo Qingzhou is also backing up Ah Qian. What are you afraid of? Worst case, do you think we won’t even be able to keep him safe?"
An Ge pursed her lips, "Regarding this, I’ll... I’ll think about it."
After ending the call with Lu Huai’an, Huo Qingzhou ca to see her.
Huo Qingzhou looked troubled. After entering, he sat down on the sofa like a boss, eyeing An Ge, and said coldly,
"I’m just here to ask you one thing, will you leave with ?"
An Ge poured him a glass of water and answered indirectly,
"How’s Huo Qing doing? She must be pretty shaken by Huo Shaoyan’s people. You should take care of her first; as for my matters... I know what I’m doing."
Huo Qingzhou took a sip of water, angrily cursing,
"Do you have any idea? Reflect on it yourself. How long have you been back in the country, and already you’re so passive?"
An Ge was montarily at a loss for words from Huo Qingzhou’s argunt.
His words continued, getting nastier,
"He forces you to remarry, and you’ll just bow to his will and remarry? If he wants you to have another child, will you do it too? Have you forgotten how you barely clung to life in the hospital back then? If not for and Lu Huai’an, I tell you, you’d be dead by now..."
An Ge’s temper flared at his words, and she said with a frown,
"You think I want this? Even if I took Huanhuan and Ah Qian with you back to M Continent now, what about Huanhuan’s illness? Should she just wait to die? And what about my son Huo Huaisang? Are you saying I should just completely give up on him?"
Huo Qingzhou lit a cigarette, smoking heavily.
The dense smoke blurred his handso face entirely.
Finishing a cigarette, he looked through the smoke at An Ge and coldly said,
"From what you’re saying, are you planning to stay here and live with him?"
An Ge denied it, "No."
Huo Qingzhou sneered and said,
"Really? Are you sure you can withstand his strong advances without faltering?"
An Ge replied without hesitation,
"Yes." It was like she was talking both to Huo Qingzhou and to herself, emphasizing, "I’m sure."
Huo Qingzhou’s tone grew increasingly mocking.
He stood up, looking down at An Ge, and said,
"I’m just reminding you, don’t be a fool again. Otherwise, you’ll suffer without even knowing how you died."
After saying this, Huo Qingzhou turned to leave.
An Ge watched his tall figure and called out, "Wait."
Huo Qingzhou slightly turned his head, casting a cold glimpse from his Phoenix Eyes, "Hmm?"
An Ge walked up to him, looking at him and said,
"Then in your opinion, do you have a better solution?"
Huo Qingzhou inserted a hand into his suit pants pocket, lowered his eyes, and quietly looked into An Ge’s slightly red eyes, then, like he was half-joking, said,
"If you’re purely thinking of getting back at him, I indeed have a particularly good thod. It can infuriate him and at the sa ti make him willingly give part of his liver to save Huanhuan. Besides, he might even co crawling to you like a lapdog."
An Ge raised her eyebrow, intrigued, and asked, "What’s the thod?"
After she finished speaking, Huo Qingzhou smiled like a rogue.
He gave her a nod and with a mischievous grin, said,
"You can marry , then toss our marriage certificate to him as you reveal the truth, telling him Huanhuan is his daughter and Huo Huaisang is his son. I’d bet he’ll go nuts."
An Ge frowned, sowhat annoyed:
"Marry you? If we marry, will it be a form of a fake marriage?"
Huo Qingzhou gave An Ge a once-over playfully, assessing and said,
"Though your face and your figure are the ultimate among ultimates, truth be told, I don’t like won who look too seductive. Besides, your temper’s too bad; you’re hardly appealing to n."
Comparatively, he preferred the softer type like Huo Qing.
Though not as stunning as An Ge, she was mild-tempered and gentle, mostly not daring to confront him, and most importantly, the softness of her voice in bed could lt him completely.
Of course, these were not things Huo Qingzhou would share with An Ge.
He rely offered a pragmatic suggestion and, returning to the topic, said,
"My point is, you co with to M Continent, we marry by agreent, for a year at least. During this year, you’ll help relieve the pressure from my parents about marriage, and I’ll help you deal with Huo Shaoyan. Imagine this, you marry , and then expose the truth about the past five years to Huo Shaoyan. Do you think he could stay calm? Based on my understanding, he’ll undoubtedly be desperate to et you, perhaps even bring Huo Huaisang to M Continent begging for reconciliation..."
Just then, a call from Huo Shaoyan ca in.
