Because of this, Huo Shaoyan’s expression improved sowhat.
Since there were no financial disputes, the divorce procedures went extrely smoothly.
Five minutes later, the two of them had their divorce certificates.
Huo Shaoyan said to Qin Ming, who was following not far behind An Ge:
"You don’t need to follow us." He paused, speaking with a aningful tone, "After dinner, I’ll take her back to Castle Manor."
Qin Ming’s gaze landed on An Ge at this mont, seeking her opinion, "What do you think?"
An Ge felt that at this point, Huo Shaoyan wouldn’t make things difficult for her or do anything outrageous.
Therefore, she said to Qin Ming, "You can go back."
Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "Alright then."
After Qin Ming left, An Ge gazed at Huo Shaoyan.
She looked at his soaked outfit and said, "Are you planning to dress like this for our breakup dinner?"
At this, Huo Shaoyan made a call to Qin Lang, "Bring my spare clothes from the car."
Five minutes later, Huo Shaoyan ca out from the bathroom direction in a well-pressed suit and trousers.
At that ti, An Ge was on the phone with Gu Ru Yi.
Her gaze inadvertently flicked to Huo Shaoyan.
There was a mont of slight daze.
The now slender Huo Shaoyan could actually wear a suit so charmingly.
Forcing her gaze away from Huo Shaoyan, An Ge said to Gu Ru Yi on the other end of the phone:
"Did you see the text ssage I sent you?"
The photo An Ge previously sent to Gu Ru Yi, where she was pictured with Gu Changfeng, along with the texts, were all deleted by An Muxin.
So, Gu Ru Yi didn’t see them.
Therefore, Gu Ru Yi was very surprised, "Did you send a text?"
An Ge frowned. After explaining the situation to Gu Ru Yi, she said:
"Was your phone tampered with?"
Gu Ru Yi thought for a mont and said:
"I... I attended a party today and left my phone in the private room at so point. Maybe it was tampered with then."
An Ge asked, "Who do you think it could be?"
Gu Ru Yi thought of soone, "An Muxin was also in that private room."
An Ge squinted her eyes deeply, after a while, she said, "I have sothing to do now, can I contact you later?"
Gu Ru Yi said, "Okay."
After ending the call with Gu Ru Yi, An Ge asked Huo Shaoyan, who was now standing in front of her: "President Huo, what do you want to treat to for dinner?"
Huo Shaoyan looked deeply at her, but his tone was restrainedly cold, "You decide."
An Ge raised an eyebrow, "You’re treating to a breakup al, and you want to decide?"
Huo Shaoyan’s Phoenix Eyes narrowed slightly, after thinking for a while, he said:
"Let’s go back to the Huo Mansion." He paused, "Huai Shang is over there. Tonight, I’ll cook for you both."
An Ge felt that Huo Shaoyan always managed to hit her with precision.
He knew exactly where her weakness lay and pinpointed it.
Last ti, because of Lee Dahai’s kidnapping incident, Huo Huaisang’s arm needed several stitches.
Although Huo Huaisang, like her, was now discharged from the hospital, An Ge was still worried about him.
Therefore, An Ge hardly hesitated at Huo Shaoyan’s proposal and said, "Okay."
Huo Shaoyan was very pleased that she agreed so quickly.
Huo Shaoyan cherished this rare opportunity to be alone.
So, he planned to drive himself and let Qin Lang take a taxi back to the Huo Mansion.
He opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, and said to An Ge, "Get in."
An Ge approached the back row, planning to open the door, but Huo Shaoyan interrupted her,
"Ms. An, I’m not your driver, please sit in the front seat."
An Ge raised an eyebrow but ignored him.
She quickly opened the car door, got in, and took the initiative:
"President Huo, you don’t think that if I sit in your front seat and then have a al with you, we’d just get back together, do you?"
The air fell into a long silence.
Afterward, An Ge closed her eyes to rest.
Huo Shaoyan glanced back at her, seeing her distant deanor, he simply darkened his handso face and said nothing more.
The car arrived at the Huo Mansion half an hour later.
In the early evening when the lights were just coming on, the entire Huo Mansion was shrouded in a deep and tranquil atmosphere.
Huo Shaoyan parked the car in the East Garden.
When he opened the door and ca to An Ge’s side to open her door, he found she had fallen asleep deeply on the seat.
The deep and somber orange light bathed her sleeping face with a layer of soft glow, making her whole being appear gentle.
Huo Shaoyan watched her silently for a while, finally choosing not to wake her.
He bent down, gently lifting her horizontally out of the car.
Even the gentlest movents of this action were still sowhat large in magnitude.
But throughout the whole process, An Ge showed no signs of waking up.
Huo Shaoyan initially thought she might be ill, so after carrying her back to the master bedroom’s big bed, he called the Huo Mansion’s family doctor, Dr. Wu, over.
Dr. Wu, an old traditional Chinese doctor, beca noticeably complex and aningful after checking An Ge’s pulse.
Huo Shaoyan initially thought An Ge had so terminal illness, and his emotions got a bit excited, "What’s wrong with her?"
Dr. Wu gestured for him to talk downstairs.
Two minutes later, the two of them were downstairs.
Dr. Wu asked Huo Shaoyan, "Young Master, I heard before that the Young Madam had a miscarriage, is this true?"
Huo Shaoyan frowned, his voice turning a few notches darker, "Yes, it’s true. Why, is there a problem?"
Dr. Wu sighed sowhat, looking rather perplexed as he said, "Well... could there have been a misdiagnosis?"
At these words, Huo Shaoyan’s emotions heightened sharply, "Exactly what are you trying to say?"
Dr. Wu, intimidated by his fierce deanor, could only brace himself and speak to Huo Shaoyan:
"I’m not sure if it’s my failing eyes, but when I was checking the Young Madam’s pulse just now, I detected a slippery pulse, which is clearly a pulse trait of a pregnant woman..."
Huo Shaoyan couldn’t articulate his emotions.
His eyes reddened and moistened, then as he smiled, his expression darkened.
He sank into the sofa, lowering his head, playing with a tal lighter.
In that mont, his whole being seed exceptionally desolate within the brightly lit hall.
Dr. Wu, at that point, found himself in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave.
He attempted to break the impasse but, wary of the man’s unpredictable temper, cautiously proposed,
"Young Master, perhaps, you should take the Young Madam to the hospital for another checkup when you have the chance..."
After he spoke, the man looked up.
Despite the redness of his eyes, his voice was exceptionally calm: "For now, let this matter remain just between us."
Dr. Wu, surprised, couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master, I don’t quite understand what you an..."
Huo Shaoyan’s voice was hoarse,
"She’d rather fabricate a miscarriage to deceive than honestly admit she’s pregnant. If I expose her, she might truly abort the child behind my back."
Dr. Wu sighed deeply, "Young Master, rest assured, without your instructions, I won’t tell anyone about this."
After Dr. Wu left, Huo Shaoyan got up and went to the kitchen.
Though he was a decent cook, he rarely cooked.
Those limited occasions were all because of An Ge.
Considering An Ge’s intense morning sickness during early pregnancy, he prepared a very light dinner.
Five dishes and a soup, not exceedingly lavish, but nutritionally balanced.
After preparing dinner, he had soone bring Huo Huaisang over from Mrs. Huo’s place.
As Huo Huaisang entered, he walked up to Huo Shaoyan and asked, "I heard from the servants that you and mom got divorced, is it true?"
Huo Shaoyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don’t you want to divorce her?"
Huo Huaisang was montarily stunned.
Eventually, Huo Huaisang answered Huo Shaoyan’s question,
"Not exactly. If divorce is a relief for mom, then your divorce isn’t a bad thing."
The words were quite piercing.
Huo Shaoyan’s brow furrowed.
He lowered his eyes silently, watched Huo Huaisang for a while, and said, "She’s upstairs. Go and call her down for dinner."
With those words, Huo Huaisang’s eyes brightened suddenly, "Mom’s upstairs? Did my sister co?"
"No."
Huo Huaisang seed a bit disappointed and asked Huo Shaoyan, "Does that an, in the future, I won’t see my sister anymore?"
Huo Shaoyan said, "No. Nobody has the right to stop you two from eting." After a pause, "Your dad promises you."
Because of Huo Shaoyan’s words, Huo Huaisang looked much more relieved.
As Huo Huaisang went upstairs to find An Ge, Lin Keke called Huo Shaoyan.
Huo Shaoyan hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.
His voice was detached, "What’s wrong?"
Lin Keke said, "President Huo, sothing happened, Ms. Huo seems to have a fever and keeps mumbling incoherently for her brother, I... I wanted to ask if I should take her directly to the hospital or wait for you to co over?"
Huo Shaoyan’s expression darkened, "Why would she suddenly have a fever out of nowhere?"
Lin Keke, very innocently, replied,
"I’m not quite sure either. In the evening, after the servants prepared dinner, I went upstairs to invite Ms. Huo down and found she had a fever..."
Huo Shaoyan said in a deep voice, "Let the family doctor check her first, I’ll go over a bit later."
Lin Keke pursed her lips, hesitatingly asked,
"About what ti might you arrive? I’m worried Ms. Huo might lose her temper, it’d be helpful to have an approximate ti to calm her..."
"In about an hour."
Lin Keke responded, "Okay."
When An Ge and Huo Huaisang ca downstairs, they saw Huo Shaoyan standing with his back to them in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
His posture was upright, yet he was shrouded in a dim halo, extrely dispirited.
An Ge sensed he was in a bad mood, thinking sothing must have happened, she walked up behind him and proactively asked:
"Did sothing happen?"
Huo Shaoyan turned to face her because of her words.
An Ge felt that the first thing he looked at upon turning was not her face, but her lower abdon.
Of course, the man’s gaze rely swept over her abdon before he diverted his eyes.
He gestured towards the dining area and said, "Dinner is ready, co on."
Since Huo Shaoyan was unwilling to speak to her, An Ge didn’t bother to ask further.
She held Huo Huaisang’s hand and headed to the dining room.
Huo Shaoyan served each of them a bowl of rice.
An Ge took the bowl from his hand, thanked him, and said:
"If you have sothing to attend to, you can go ahead." After a pause, "I’m not leaving tonight, I’ll stay with Huaisang."
Huo Shaoyan was taken aback for a mont, unsure, "You’ll stay tonight, not leave?"
