Huo Shaoyan grabbed her wrist and suddenly yanked backward, causing An Ge to fall onto his lap.
The woman felt cool, yet she was soft and fragrant, a scent different from Mo Yuan’s.
Involuntarily, Huo Shaoyan pulled her close and whispered near her earlobe, his breath mingling with her hair,
"Ms. An, do you really want to be forever under Jerry’s threat? Do you really not want my help? Although my brain was damaged from the accident,
I haven’t really beco stupid. Mo Yuan is Jerry’s person. Her approach towards isn’t rely for my protection; her goal could be to undermine the business empire I’ve built.
Honestly, based on Mo Yuan’s intentions for getting close to , I’m starting to dislike her a bit now. Instead, you’ve piqued my interest greatly."
The warmth of the man’s breath was scorching, making An Ge’s entire being tingle.
She wanted to retreat, but the man’s palm pressed against her back and quickly pulled her withdrawing body into his chest.
An Ge’s eyes reddened as she looked at him,
"So, what can you offer ? You know full well that Mo Yuan is Jerry’s person, and you also know that Mo Yuan’s son has nothing to do with you, yet you still keep her by your side?"
"Oh, so you’re jealous because of her?"
The man chuckled softly.
His lips hovered near her neck, teasingly, as he murmured:
"If I don’t keep her by my side, how can I know their true purpose? Bait the enemy into your trap, understand?"
An Ge was stunned by his words, "Bait the enemy?"
At this ti, the man lifted her chin with his hand, his lips incredibly close, so close that in the next mont, he could kiss her.
Yet, he maintained a certain distance.
He gazed into her eyes, a deep and tender smile erging, his voice hoarse as if laced with emotion,
"Mo Yuan is Jerry’s person. She tells that both her life and her son’s life are in Jerry’s hands. They’ve both been implanted with a special virus,
requiring regular dication every month to survive. Yet, she doesn’t ntion a word about Jerry using her to approach . I feel, although I have feelings for her,
it hasn’t reached the point of clouding my judgnt. Therefore, until I understand her and Jerry’s true intentions, I can only humor her and indulge her..."
An Ge: "What does that have to do with ?"
"It has everything to do with you. Our common enemy is Jerry, right?"
An Ge gazed deeply at him, "So, what can you offer , or do for ?"
Huo Shaoyan looked at her, planting a soft kiss on her cold lips’ corner, his voice like fire as he said:
"That depends on what you want."
The heat from him caused An Ge to shiver involuntarily. She attempted to back away and said:
"I want to rescue my mother from Jerry’s grasp; I want to reunite with her as mother and daughter. I want the Qin family’s massacre from years ago to co to light... If you can help achieve that, then tonight, I am yours."
"Ms. An, do you keep your word?"
An Ge retorted, "Do you keep your word?"
Huo Shaoyan slightly lifted his head, gazing at her watery eyes, and asked unresolvedly:
"Ms. An, why do you say that? Have I ever broken a promise to you?"
An Ge sneered coldly, "How can you say that with a straight face?"
"Oh? Then I apologize. A man who breaks promises to a woman is indeed without virtue and capability."
An Ge said, "From your tone, it seems like you’ve already figured out a way to deal with Jerry?"
At this mont, Huo Shaoyan reached over to her waist, originally intending to lift her dress, but upon sensing the strong movent from An Ge’s abdon, he changed his mind.
His hand caressed An Ge’s rounded belly, his voice husky as he said:
"The little one is quite lively, with a strong kick. Is it a boy or a girl?"
An Ge pushed his hand away.
Huo Shaoyan frowned.
The woman bowed her head. Forced to sit on his lap, she didn’t move, seemingly unwilling to make any effort.
So, from his angle, he couldn’t see her face at all.
For a mont, silence fell, with only their breathing audible.
Huo Shaoyan reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head to et his eyes,
"Ms. An, are you crying?"
An Ge felt a sourness in her eyes and an aching tightness in her chest.
Her eyes were red, with a thin layer of moisture in them, but no tears fell.
Yet such a not-quite-crying expression seed particularly aggrieved in the man’s eyes.
She once again waved her hand, pushing away the hand clamped on her chin, her voice cold: "No."
After speaking, she attempted to leave the man’s lap.
Seeing her intention, Huo Shaoyan tightened his grip on her waist, frowning as he said:
"Ms. An, you haven’t answered my question yet."
An Ge raised her eyes, filled with a piercing coldness, as she replied:
"Whether it’s a boy or a girl, doesn’t matter to you, does it? Didn’t you say that having this child is unfortunate for the child?
Didn’t you say I either choose to abort or raise it myself? So, what does it matter to you whether it’s a boy or a girl?"
The woman’s voice was cold and calm.
But the words she spoke carried imnse resentnt.
Huo Shaoyan looked silently into her red eyes.
After a long while, he finally spoke:
"Ms. An, tis change. Now I’m quite curious whether it’s a boy or a girl. Of course, if you don’t want to say, I won’t ask further."
An Ge’s emotions finally took a turn towards anger, "Can you let go of ?"
Huo Shaoyan looked into her eyes, which hinted at flas, and finally released her waist, allowing her to escape from his embrace.
After that, the woman turned her head to face the back of the car, towards the side of her car window.
The city night lights, with the rise and fall of car speed, cast shadows on her face, then faded from her eyes. She was so calm, and so silently quiet.
Huo Shaoyan stared at her profile for a long ti before saying:
"Ms. An, are you still considering cooperating with ? Spend a night with , and I’ll help you find your mother’s whereabouts?"
The night wind blew, making An Ge a bit more awake.
She leaned on the car window, looking out into the distant, unclear scenery.
After a long ti, she withdrew her gaze from outside and looked at the man in the car, whose features were noble yet handso.
He was suppressing so sort of unbearable feeling, with veins popping on his forehead, and his face was covered in sweat.
His eyes, when watching her, seed like a pool of intense magma, rolling with heatwaves that could lt her.
"Cooperate, sure."
That’s what she said.
The fire in the man’s eyes grew even more intense.
He looked at her and said: "Ms. An, spend a night with , and we’ll engage physically without emotional involvent?"
An Ge coldly sneered: "Aren’t you afraid I’ll extort you?"
The man smiled ambiguously, "That’s entirely possible."
An Ge said: "Don’t worry, I won’t."
Huo Shaoyan felt a complexity he couldn’t describe regarding An Ge’s straightforward answer.
He looked into her eyes: "Are you so sure? A woman, year after year, spending five or six years to have kids for the sa man,
I don’t believe this woman has no affection for this man. Ms. An, you say you have no feelings for , but I’m certain, you still love ..."
"I don’t!"
"Ms. An, there’s no need to deny it so hurriedly. Often, when you hastily deny sothing, it’s because you’re covering the truth."
An Ge took a deep breath and said: "Huo Shaoyan."
She called him by his full na.
Huo Shaoyan looked at her, "Ms. An, feel free to speak directly."
An Ge looked into his eyes and said:
"Do you think I agreed to cooperate with you just to sleep with you?"
Huo Shaoyan frowned: "Then what? I need a woman to relieve my fire, or why would I ask you to spend a night with ? To chat under a blanket?"
An Ge lowered her head, took out a silver needle from her bag, and said:
"President Huo, have you forgotten I’m a doctor? Though I specialize in surgery, I haven’t neglected studying traditional Chinese dicine. Give your hand, and I’ll give you a few acupuncture needles..."
Before she could finish, the man interrupted her: "Ms. An, compared to being poked by a needle, I prefer a more comfortable way of relief, like being with a woman."
In other words, he simply wanted to sleep with her.
An Ge thought he was being an unreasonable scoundrel,
"President Huo, there’s a better and faster way to solve your problem, why resort to such dishonorable ans?"
"Ms. An, this silver needle of yours is about ten centiters long, even just looking at it is extrely off-putting to . For , the best, safest, and most comfortable thod is a woman, not a needle pricking .
Besides, I don’t even know what drug I’ve been hit with. What if after you have needled , there’s no relief? Wouldn’t I have suffered in vain?"
As he spoke, the car stopped in front of a star-rated hotel.
When the car ca to a complete stop.
An Ge heard Huo Shaoyan say to her:
"Ms. An, we’ve arrived at the hotel, and my condition is, you stay with for the night, and we strike a deal."
After a pause,
"Of course, if you’re unwilling, I won’t insist; you’re not the only woman in the world."
After he finished speaking, Huo Shaoyan was the first to open the car door and get out.
Before he closed the car door, he glanced back at An Ge sitting inside and said:
"Ms. An, if we reach an agreent, perhaps in a good mood, I’ll be more accommodating. For instance, letting you see the children."
Huo Chenghuan and Huo Huaisang had been sent abroad by Huo Shaoyan. After his mind suffered a blow, the purpose of this decision was to cut off any contact between An Ge and the children.
Therefore, during this period, An Ge couldn’t even make phone calls to the kids.
Consequently, Huo Shaoyan’s last words instantly pierced the defense line An Ge had built in her heart.
Shortly after Huo Shaoyan got out of the car, she also opened the door and stepped out.
The outdoor wind was stronger, and it seed to be getting colder.
An Ge pulled her light cardigan tighter around her and faced Qin Lang standing beside the car: "Where is he?"
Qin Lang replied: "The president has already headed to the hotel."
An Ge glanced at the brightly lit hotel lobby not far away and stepped forward.
Qin Lang caught up and said, "Ms. An, the president’s room number is 1818."
An Ge coldly replied, "Got it."
Five minutes later, An Ge appeared at the door of Huo Shaoyan’s presidential suite.
At the sa ti, Mo Yuan’s call rang on her phone, and An Ge’s hand paused in the air as she was about to knock.
She looked at Mo Yuan’s caller ID displayed on her phone, hesitated for a few seconds, then walked to the end of the corridor and answered the call.
Mo Yuan’s voice was sowhat broken: "An Ge."
Her voice was hoarse and agitated, and thus sounded sowhat fragnted.
An Ge replied coldly, "What’s the matter?"
Mo Yuan emotionally lost control: "Are you with him?"
An Ge did not deny it; she said: "President Huo invited to a wild night, I’m considering whether to accept..."
