Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Itchy Heart

An Baoying’s words continued,

"An Ge, the Lu Family won’t let this go easily. You’ve caused such a huge mess for Young Master Huo, and you’re just going to sit back and relax? Young Master Huo doesn’t owe you anything, so why should he pay for your actions? If you had even a shred of shame, you wouldn’t be hiding like a coward right now."

An Ge coldly asked, "What exactly are you trying to tell me?"

An Baoying replied,

"I’m calling on behalf of Young Master Huo’s mother. You caused this trouble, and she hopes you can handle it. Lu Huai’an’s grandfather and mother have now arrived in Jingcheng. You’re so smart, you should be able to resolve this, right?"

An Ge said indifferently, "I can’t handle it."

An Baoying, frustrated, exclaimed, "You..."

An Ge cut off the call.

An Baoying called again immediately after.

An Ge turned off her phone directly.

She knew her limits all too well. If she had the ability to handle the Lu Family, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

But if she didn’t step forward and let this situation continue to ferment, it would be Young Master Huo’s hundreds of billions of assets at stake.

She was already entangled with him, and if she were to incur a debt of hundreds of billions because of this, as the man said, she’d never be able to recover in this lifetime.

She’d never be able to raise her head in front of him.

After much deliberation, An Ge decided that this was something she couldn’t avoid forever. She could avoid the Lu Family’s pressure but not Young Master Huo’s oppression.

Her life, wherever she went, was filled with thorns.

Running away from this wasn’t a solution.

After pondering for a while, An Ge decided to proactively seek a conversation with Huo Shaoyan.

At this time, Huo Shaoyan was already in his study.

An Ge used the kitchen downstairs to make two bowls of beef wontons. She ate one bowl first before cooking the second.

Half an hour later, she carried the cooked wontons and knocked on the door of the man’s study.

At this time, it was ten thirty in the evening.

"Young Master Huo, I made a late-night snack. Can I bring it in for you?"

She wasn’t comfortable knocking on the door, so she stood at the entrance of the study with the tray and spoke softly to the person inside.

There was no response from inside.

But after about seven or eight seconds, the door of the study was opened by the man from the inside.

Huo Shaoyan lowered his eyes, a cigarette in his mouth half burnt. Amidst the swirling smoke, his phoenix eyes looked at her deeply and inscrutably.

"I made beef wontons. They’re quite tasty. You must have been busy with my matters that you haven’t eaten anything yet."

An Ge looked at him with a warm and soft tone, particularly pleasing, "Would you like to eat in the study or on the living room coffee table?"

Huo Shaoyan extinguished his cigarette and stepped out of the study.

When he sat down on the living room sofa, An Ge placed the wontons on the coffee table in front of him.

Huo Shaoyan lifted his gaze to glance at her, "Go get me a glass of water."

An Ge agreed promptly and went downstairs to get water.

She made a cup of lemon-infused warm water. When she returned with the lemon water, the man had already finished the bowl of wontons, not even leaving a drop of soup.

An Ge sensed that he probably wasn’t full.

She placed the lemon water by the man’s hand, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at him, "I’ll go make you another bowl."

"With such flattery, it seems you’re truly afraid of being dealt with by the Lu Family."

Huo Shaoyan took a sip of the lemon water, his handsome and elegant face looking displeased,

"Sadly, I still intend to send you to the Lu Family for them to handle."

An Ge hadn’t anticipated that he’d say something like this.

Oh, to be precise, she thought he’d brought her back to stand up for her. It turns out she was being both self-sentimental and self-important.

She pressed her lips together, gathered her thoughts, and said,

"I actually wanted to talk to you about this. Although I can avoid the early threats, I can’t escape the later ones. Even if you don’t deliver me, I’ll approach the Lu Family elders to apologize myself."

Upon hearing this, the man sarcastically retorted, "Apologize? Your apology is worthless in the eyes of the Lu Family."

An Ge replied, "I know..."

"Then why act bravely when you know?"

An Ge was suddenly at a loss as to what he truly meant, and she looked at him steadily, "I... don’t quite understand what you mean?"

Since he’d already decided to turn her over to the Lu Family for handling, why did he belittle her for apologizing?

"Go get some sleep. Tomorrow you’ll go with me to meet the Lu Family elders."

An Ge’s fingers clenched slightly, unable to hold back as she asked,

"Have you forgiven me for abandoning a project worth billions in the Imperial City? Can I know the reason?"

As soon as she uttered these words, her wrist was gripped tightly, and she was forcefully pulled into the man’s lap.

He placed a firm grip on her soft waist, then moved his hand to her chin and held it, saying,

"Do you think I’d get angry over a woman? Do you think you’re worthy?"

An Ge’s gaze didn’t waver as she looked into his brooding eyes, saying,

"It’s because I’m not worthy that I’m curious to know the reason."

With these words, the man cruelly pinched her waist once more.

This time, he pinched so hard that she let out a cry of pain, "Ouch~"

Her voice was coy, almost eliciting a response from him.

His voice went hoarse instantly, "You understand men well enough to know how to act to get what you want from them."

With that, he reached out and gently patted her cheek,

"An Xiaoge, you really overestimate yourself. That billion-dollar project in the Imperial City, even if the Lu Family wants to block it, they wouldn’t dare offend me. Do you understand?"

An Ge understood.

Everything was under the man’s control, and the billion-dollar medical project was just temporarily on hold, but it wouldn’t fail.

An Ge wanted to get up from his lap, but in the next moment, she was pressed down into the sofa behind her.

Her pupils widened to the extreme, and her breathing grew erratic because of the man’s close proximity.

Her heart raced like a drum, and she looked at the man’s lips so close to hers, her throat tightened as she said,

"Young Master Huo, are you like the others, just wanting to toy with me?"

The man pressed close, his grip on her waist painfully firm,

She was backed into a corner by his pervasive aura, surrounded by his all-consuming scent.

His lips were so close that they could kiss hers at any second, yet he maintained that minuscule distance.

The heat of his breath on her lips made her blood boil, her chest rising and falling heavily with her strengthened breathing.

She heard the man say indifferently, "What do you think?"

What did she think?

She wasn’t foolish.

She’d caused the man so much trouble, and besides her blood being able to cure his illness, what could possibly interest a man like him except her body?

"Young Master Huo, you’re going to be engaged to An Baoying soon. I don’t want to be the third party."

Her voice trembled.

At that moment, the man grabbed her chin, forcing her to slightly part her lips.

He looked into her eyes and said, "You don’t want to be the third party; you want to be Mrs. Huo?"

An Ge’s throat rolled once, "Neither."

Once again, the man patted her face, his voice growing even huskier,

"Very good. Almost no other woman dares to provoke me like this. You’ve got spirit; you’ve piqued my interest in playing."
