The two chatted for a while longer, and Li Shaosi ca back.
As Li Shaosi entered, Gu Ru Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, got up to leave, "I have sothing to do..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Shaosi ca over and interrupted her, "Second Miss Gu, long ti no see."
This was the first ti Gu Ru Yi had been so close to Li Shaosi.
Gu Ru Yi looked at his enchanting, charming eyes and thought he was exceptionally handso.
Gu Ru Yi said, "Mr. Li... have we t before?"
Gu Ru Yi only rembered seeing Li Shaosi from afar at important business banquets in the past, but never had such close interaction or exchanged greetings.
So, Gu Ru Yi was very confused.
Li Shaosi gave her a slight smile, speaking enigmatically:
"The year you started nstruating and stained your pants, the first sanitary pad of your life was bought by Qin Jingzhi for you."
He paused deliberately, with a hinting tone,
"But you didn’t know that the money for the pad was borrowed from by Qin Jingzhi."
Not only was Gu Ru Yi shocked, but An Ge was as well.
Gu Ru Yi: "You... who exactly are you?"
Li Shaosi didn’t say another word on this topic, instead told Gu Ru Yi:
"Stay for dinner, I’m cooking tonight."
Because of what Li Shaosi said, Gu Ru Yi stayed.
When Li Shaosi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, An Ge whispered to Gu Ru Yi:
"He once confessed to personally that it wasn’t Qin Jingzhi who was crushed into two by a burning beam back then, but his twin brother..."
An Ge shared with Gu Ru Yi all the clues she currently had.
After carefully sorting through everything, they both ca to the conclusion that Gu Changfeng was Qin Jingzhi, and Li Shaosi was the child adopted by the Qin family housekeeper back then.
As for An Ge’s identity, they were utterly perplexed.
During dinner.
An Ge, while eating, began to probe Li Shaosi: "I recalled so things from my youth..."
She had just started to speak when Li Shaosi interrupted her:
"Sweetheart, stop ssing around! If you want to get sothing out of , you’d need to practice for another 800 years."
An Ge: "..."
Gu Ru Yi chid in:
"Mr. Li, you remind of soone, Qin Fen, the adopted son of the Qin housekeeper back then."
Li Shaosi’s response was calm, "Hmm. Why?"
Gu Ru Yi said, "Are you... him?"
Li Shaosi looked up at her and remarked,
"Second Miss Gu, even if you’re crazy in love, you shouldn’t be an idiot, right? My surna is Li."
Gu Ru Yi: "..."
Li Shaosi used a public chopstick to pick a shrimp for An Ge, "Pregnant won should eat more shrimp. It’s good for calcium."
As he spoke, he served a bowl of chicken soup for An Ge,
"Drink more soup too, it’s good for the baby."
Watching Li Shaosi ticulously take care of An Ge, Gu Ru Yi felt sothing was not quite right.
Of course, she didn’t express it openly.
Realizing they couldn’t get anything from Li Shaosi, An Ge and Gu Ru Yi exchanged glances, then An Ge spoke to Li Shaosi straightforwardly:
"Even though you stubbornly deny it, we are convinced that you are Qin Fen, the adopted son of the Qin housekeeper, and Gu Changfeng is the Sixth Son of the Qin Family, Qin Jingzhi."
Li Shaosi’s voice was indifferent, "So what if I am?"
An Ge paused in surprise.
Li Shaosi continued, "What if I’m not?"
After saying this, he looked deeply at An Ge and said:
"Stop inquiring about the Qin family’s affairs; it’s of no benefit to you."
He paused, adding with a playful tone,
"Unless you marry , then I’ll tell you everything."
The conversation reached a stalemate.
After dinner, Gu Ru Yi left quickly.
However, downstairs in her apartnt, Huo Shaoyan stopped her by getting out of his car.
Gu Ru Yi frowned, her voice cold:
"President Huo, what’s the aning of this?"
Under the layers of streetlamp shadows, Huo Shaoyan’s face was dark and cold.
He spoke coldly, "Can we talk for a mont?"
Thinking of what An Ge had gone through because of Huo Shaoyan, Gu Ru Yi couldn’t help but mock him:
"President Huo, what do you want to discuss with ?"
"I want to know how she’s doing now..."
Gu Ru Yi interrupted him before he could finish, her voice icy:
"If you stop bothering her, she’ll be just fine."
Huo Shaoyan said nothing, just stared at Gu Ru Yi coldly with his phoenix eyes.
Feeling a little frightened by his sinister gaze, Gu Ru Yi composed herself and said:
"She... is generally doing well, not seeking death out of your heartlessness or despairing over your impending marriage.
She can eat and sleep; the baby in her womb is developing well. So, President Huo, can you move aside now?"
Huo Shaoyan shifted slightly, allowing Gu Ru Yi a passage to leave.
Gu Ru Yi quickly brushed past him.
After she had walked about five or six steps away, Huo Shaoyan called out to her, "Wait."
Gu Ru Yi briefly paused and turned around, "What else, President Huo?"
Huo Shaoyan walked up to her and said, "Help deliver a ssage to her."
Gu Ru Yi raised an eyebrow, "What did he say?"
"He asked you to dissuade her from having a flash marriage with Li Shaosi or any other man as soon as possible..."
Gu Ru Yi thought Young Master Huo was simply unreasonable.
She sarcastically said to Huo Shaoyan,
"President Huo, aren’t you being a bit too overbearing? You’re about to marry and have a child with soone like An Muxin, a manipulative bitch, so where do you get off interfering with An Ge..."
"Gu Ru Yi."
The man interrupted her coldly, speaking in a grave tone,
"Deliver my ssage, or I’ll ruin you or your good-for-nothing brother."
Gu Ru Yi: "..."
After dropping this line, the man turned and left without looking back.
When Gu Ru Yi returned ho, she only grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling increasingly frustrated.
After taking a shower, she decided to tell An Ge what Huo Shaoyan had said to her.
An Ge listened, showing no apparent emotion.
She thought for a mont, then said to Gu Ru Yi, "I don’t care, and you shouldn’t get upset over this either."
Gu Ru Yi was truly in awe of An Ge, "An Ge, if you keep this up, you’ll be bullied to death by him."
An Ge pursed her lips, "I won’t."
After ending the call with Gu Ru Yi, An Ge picked up her car keys and went downstairs.
Li Shaosi wasn’t ho, but when the maid saw her about to leave, she almost panicked.
She hurriedly caught up with An Ge, who was about to walk out the door,
"Ms. An, are you going out? Mr. Li instructed that you need to inform him in advance if you plan to leave; otherwise, we can’t bear the responsibility of letting you go out alone."
An Ge noticed the maid’s difficulty and said to her, "Don’t worry, I’ll call him to let him know."
The maid relaxed a bit upon hearing this.
However, she quickly added,
"But tonight is the anniversary of Mr. Li’s biological mother’s death, and he went to Southern City Songhe Cetery to visit her grave, so you probably won’t be able to reach him by phone."
An Ge considered for a mont, then said, "Then call two bodyguards to accompany ."
Though An Ge insisted on leaving, the maid didn’t dare to stop her forcibly and compromised by letting two very skilled bodyguards follow An Ge.
After getting in the car, the driving bodyguard asked An Ge, "Ms. An, where... are you going?"
An Ge replied, "Just start driving."
The bodyguard obeyed and started the car.
After that, An Ge removed Huo Shaoyan’s number from the blacklist and called him.
At this ti, Huo Shaoyan had already returned to the Fu Mansion.
He parked the car and got out, just in ti to encounter Fu Huaijin, who hadn’t stayed at the Fu Mansion for a long ti, returning from the suburban villa.
Fu Huaijin’s health was deteriorating; he had to breathe heavily after three steps and cough after five.
He was determined to die and recently couldn’t even be bothered to take his dicine.
He had specifically returned from the suburban villa after hearing about Huo Shaoyan and An Ge.
He sat in a wheelchair, turning his head to look at Huo Shaoyan getting out of the car.
In the moonlight, his white face was paler than the moon, wearing a white front-button long robe.
Even so, he remained unspeakably elegant and handso.
He spoke first, "What’s going on between you and that girl?"
Fu Huaijin was famously unfeeling and indifferent. He was extrely detached toward Mr. Fu and Madam Fu, yet he frequently showed concern for An Ge’s matters, which greatly annoyed Huo Shaoyan.
Huo Shaoyan responded coldly, "What does that have to do with you?"
Fu Huaijin’s eyes showed almost no change, except his voice was icy,
"She was the student Aunt Sheeng took in before she passed away; I won’t allow you to harm her."
Huo Shaoyan said, "I haven’t hard her..."
"You haven’t hard her? You left a pregnant girl in a deserted area of Jiangbei, and she almost ended up dead; do you even count as human?"
Faced with this, Huo Shaoyan was at a loss, montarily speechless.
Fu Huaijin continued, his voice growing even colder,
"I’ll say it one last ti; she’s soone important to Aunt Sheeng, and I forbid you from harming her."
After speaking, Fu Huaijin had the bodyguard push him away.
At this mont, An Ge’s call reached Huo Shaoyan’s phone.
Huo Shaoyan was very surprised by this.
After all, in his view, his relationship with An Ge had reached the point of being as incompatible as fire and water.
For so reason, Huo Shaoyan found himself afraid to answer An Ge’s call.
Perhaps it was due to the guilt in his heart, or maybe sothing else...
At this mont, he wasn’t willing to take her call.
But An Ge’s calls ca one after another.
He forcibly suppressed the torrent of panic and the complex emotions he couldn’t quite identify, ultimately answering her call.
He spoke in a voice feigning calm, "Hello, are you looking for ?"
His voice sounded so calm and indifferent to An Ge.
Regarding this, An Ge simply replied concisely, "Where are you?"
Huo Shaoyan asked, "Do you want to see ?"
An Ge: "Yes, I do."
An Ge’s initiative to request a eting brought no joy to Huo Shaoyan.
Instead, he felt even more troubled and restless.
Because, at this mont, on this day, he didn’t know how to face her.
He was the one who left her in Jiangbei, almost getting her killed by criminals.
He was the one who put her in danger and didn’t visit her during her hospital stay.
More excessively, he announced his engagent to An Muxin when she was at her most vulnerable.
How could he face her?
Huo Shaoyan thought this way, and quickly a refusal ca to his lips, "It’s not a good idea."
