Chapter 116: Chapter 116 As Long as He Wants, He Will Pamper Her

An Ge was momentarily taken aback by the question. She remained silently contemplative.

Xiao Chaofeng didn’t seem to expect her to answer. He continued, "I’ll make reservations at Yipin Residence and wait for you there."

Only then did An Ge respond with an "Oh," and said, "You still haven’t answered my question. How is Chairman Lu doing now?"

Xiao Chaofeng candidly admitted, "Thankfully, you knocked some sense into him; otherwise, they wouldn’t have discovered the tumor on his brainstem. Jiang Fengmian brought in specialists to evaluate it. Had it been discovered just a month later, he would have been a goner. So, if I were him, I’d worship you like a deity. In a misfortune-turned-blessing kind of way, Lu Lao has decided not to hold you accountable after understanding the situation."

Hearing this, the weight on An Ge’s heart was completely lifted. She let out a long sigh and then asked, "That won’t affect Young Master Huo’s billion-dollar medical project, will it?"

Xiao Chaofeng replied, "Everything’s settled, what effect could it have? Even if the Lu Family elders were unreasonable, with Huo Shaoyan holding leverage over them, they wouldn’t dare to sabotage his project."

Having said this, Xiao Chaofeng paused for a moment, and then, in a cryptic tone, added, "Honestly, An Xiaoge, you must have amassed great virtue in a past life for him to protect you so. If it were me, I’d hold onto that golden opportunity at all costs. If you could win his heart, you wouldn’t even need to experience the hardships of this world. Whatever you desire, he’d provide. If he truly wants a woman, he will undoubtedly cherish her."

After finishing the call with Xiao Chaofeng, An Ge felt her emotions become unsettled. If she could win his heart, would he really give her whatever she wanted? But did she deserve it? Just like that man had ruthlessly declared more than once, she didn’t deserve it. Just the fact that she was pregnant before marriage, with two innocent lives inside her, made her realize how far apart she stood from him, how unattainable he was. With these thoughts, An Ge suppressed that greedy seed within her heart.

She called Nan Xiao, relayed Xiao Chaofeng’s words, and asked, "Are you...going?"

Nan Xiao looked out at the darkening sky and chuckled softly, "Why wouldn’t I go? Fifty million. If he wants to be the big spender, I have to oblige him."

An Ge: "..."

...

At 7 PM, An Ge and Nan Xiao met in the lobby of Yipin Residence.

Five minutes later, they appeared in the private room Xiao Chaofeng had reserved. When they knocked and entered, Xiao Chaofeng was in the middle of a phone call.

Upon seeing them, he hastily said to the person on the other end, "Let’s discuss this later."

On the other end was a woman, who hesitated, "But Ah Chen has a fever..."

Xiao Chaofeng impatiently interrupted her, "If he has a fever, take him to the hospital. What am I supposed to do?"

The woman, sounding aggrieved, said, "Of course, it matters. He needs your fatherly love, and more importantly, emotional support..."

Xiao Chaofeng ground his back teeth, "I’ll come find you in an hour," he said before hanging up.

After hanging up, he approached Nan Xiao and An Ge, though his words were directed at An Ge, "I’d like to talk with her alone. Do me a favor—all your expenses at Yipin Residence tonight are on me."

An Ge tilted her head toward Nan Xiao, "You good with that?"

Nan Xiao grinned, her smile as bright as wildflowers, "Why would it matter to me? He’s just an ex I don’t care about."

Xiao Chaofeng: "..."

An Ge nodded and closed the door of the private room before leaving alone.

Yipin Residence was a famous upscale restaurant in Jingcheng, where a bowl of plain rice cost more than the blood of a commoner—it was a typical place where capitalists bled their hosts dry.

With Xiao Chaofeng footing the bill, An Ge felt no need to be polite. She found a seat near a window in the lobby, from where she could look down upon the entire night view of the Jinghuai River. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

She ordered a few of Yipin’s signature dishes and some dim sum.

While waiting for the meal, she saw Bai Meilan and An Zhiguo walking in from outside.

The couple was dressed particularly formally. An Zhiguo was in a pristine suit, his hair perfectly styled, looking several years younger—enough to hide his real age if not viewed closely; Bai Meilan wore a modified ginger-yellow qipao, adorned with a Republican-style hair bun, draped in a white fur stole, exuding elegance and nobility.

At first, they didn’t notice her when they passed by. But after taking a couple more steps, Bai Meilan quickly doubled back, gazing at her with a fierce look and said, "Tonight’s a great night for Baoying and Young Master Huo, what are you doing here?"

A great night? Were they discussing marriage?

An Ge took a sip of coconut milk, propped her chin with a hand, and said, curling her lips, "With Big Sister nearing her joyous occasion, I naturally came to offer my blessings. What else could I be doing?"

Bai Meilan turned pale with anger, speaking coldly, "An Ge, spare me your nonsense. Look at who you are—can you even measure up to this place? Now leave before you cause trouble, or I’ll make you regret it."

An Zhiguo also chimed in, "You wretched girl, don’t embarrass us here! Leave immediately, do you hear?"

An Ge stood up, looking coldly at him, "An Zhiguo, be honest with me, did you and Bai Meilan collude to force my mom into a kidney donation?"

An Zhiguo, feeling guilty and angry, swung his arm to slap An Ge across the face, "You ungrateful girl, spewing nonsense, watch as I deal with your loose tongue..."

"Stop!"

An impossibly cool male voice rang out from nearby.

An Ge looked toward the sound and saw a man in black clothes and pants with an intimidating aura walking toward them.

He was casually holding An Baoying with one arm as they approached. Together, they seemed a perfect match visually.

Quickly, they arrived in front of her.

The man spoke first, "What are you doing here?"

An Ge pressed her lips together, fueled by a fire inside her, and retorted, "Why can’t I be here?"

Huo Shaoyan was immediately stump by her words, his face turned cold, "Is it because you think the Lu Huai’an case is settled, so you feel like you can create trouble for me again?"

An Ge curled her fingers and held her temper, "Master Xiao invited me. He’s currently talking with my friend in the private room, and I’m waiting for them outside."

However, her explanation did nothing to quell Huo Shaoyan’s anger.

His voice was cold, "Are you going back on your own, or should I have Qin Lang escort you back?"

Unaccountable rage suddenly surged through her, and An Ge couldn’t suppress it.

She said firmly, "I choose not to go back."

Huo Shaoyan clenched his jaw in anger, too furious to speak.

An Baoying stepped in to diffuse the tension, "An Ge, be sensible. If it weren’t for Young Master Huo’s intervention, do you think the affair with Chairman Lu would have settled so easily? Listen, this isn’t a place you belong. I’ll have Dad’s driver take you home, okay?"

An Ge snorted, "What, are you all superior to me, while I’m somehow inferior? Why should you all stay here while I can’t?"

An Baoying was momentarily stumped, "I didn’t mean it that way."

An Ge continued, "But that’s how it sounds to me. Why are you all here if you’re discussing wedding plans? Waiting for my good wishes?"

Huo Shaoyan’s voice turned utterly cold, "An Xiaoge, have I been too lenient with you, showing you too much kindness? Care to display your boldness to me, hmm?"

"I’m showing my boldness to you, so what? Are you going to hit me now?"
