Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Bewitching Her~

Young Master Huo’s breath turned icy as his voice dropped like shards of ice on the ground, "Ungrateful!"

He threw down those words, cutting off the call and slamming Uncle Fu’s phone in anger. Uncle Fu’s heart was in turmoil, and he only dared to retrieve his old phone after Huo Shaoyan had walked far away.

Fortunately, the phone was sturdy, only the screen was cracked, but it wasn’t broken. After picking up his phone, Uncle Fu hesitated for a long time but still went ahead to give some food to An Ge.

For the next ten days or so, An Ge’s three meals a day were provided by Uncle Fu. During those days, aside from interacting with Uncle Fu, she had no further contact with Huo Shaoyan or anyone from his circle. Even the An Baoying family, who always caused her trouble, hadn’t come to find her.

An Ge speculated that An Baoying and her family must be busy with the engagement banquet on the fifteenth, so they simply didn’t have time for her. Of course, An Ge wasn’t idle during those ten days.

She already had Xiao Ye set up a task force to investigate An Baoying.

In addition, she not only managed to handle the case of Mrs. Wang with Xiao Ye but also took on two more cases afterward, and they were progressing quite smoothly. The contract for Mrs. Wang’s case was valued at five million. After accounting for the company’s regular expenses and taxes, An Ge could only receive two percent of the net profit according to her investment ratio with Xiao Ye.

In short, from Mrs. Wang’s business, An Ge only received 100,000. But for her, this was already a significant start. With that 100,000, she could rent the house across from Nan Xiao’s, becoming neighbors, and not just a tenant.

People always need their own home to truly settle down.

And so, the days quickly passed until the fourteenth of the month. That day, after visiting her mother, An Ge received a call from Mrs. Lu, "Hello, I’m Lu Huai’an’s mother."

An Ge had heard that Lu Huai’an’s surgery was very successful, and his post-op recovery was going well, having already moved to a regular ward. Quite frankly, An Ge always felt anxious and uneasy about injuring Lu Huai’an. Mrs. Lu’s call suddenly made her very tense.

She said, "Mrs. Lu, hello, is there something you need from me?"

Mrs. Lu detected the anxiety in An Ge’s tone and her voice softened a bit,

"Don’t be nervous, Huai’an wants to see you. He had a close brush with death and feels that his survival is thanks to you. He thinks of you as his lucky star and wants to thank you in person."

An Ge let out a long breath; as long as it wasn’t to give her trouble, it was fine. She said,

"I... in fact, I’ve always wanted to visit Chairman Lu, but I was afraid you wouldn’t welcome me, so I didn’t dare to come over..."

An Ge’s mother, Ms. Wen, was staying in a private hospital under the Huo Shaoyan Group, while Lu Huai’an was in the nearby Jingcheng Hospital.

After hanging up the call, An Ge first returned to Yu Garden to pick up the hat and scarf she had knitted herself. Then she bought a fruit basket from a fruit store downstairs, and only then headed to Jingcheng Hospital.

She ran into Huo Shaoyan, who was there accompanying An Baoying for a ’prenatal check-up,’ at the Jingcheng Hospital’s ground floor.

Not seeing each other for over ten days, their first encounter was filled with tension.

An Ge held her ground against Huo Shaoyan’s icy gaze, greeted him, and was about to leave when An Baoying, standing next to Huo Shaoyan, stopped her, "An Ge, are you here for a prenatal check-up too?"

An Ge halted for a moment, ignored her, and quickly turned away.

Five minutes later, she knocked on Lu Huai’an’s hospital room door.

When she entered, Lu Huai’an was angrily scolding a young nurse, "You can’t even insert a needle, did you buy your nursing license?"

Mrs. Lu scolded him,

"Lu Huai’an, can you have some restraint? You’ve just moved to a regular ward; do you want to have another craniotomy?"

Having just undergone brain surgery, emotional agitation was the most taboo.

Mrs. Lu couldn’t control Lu Huai’an, and he quickly retorted,

"At worst, I’ll just die, and next year you can burn more joss paper for me at this time."

Mrs. Lu was so furious her blood pressure soared.

Seeing this, An Ge put the things she brought on the coffee table in the room, then walked over to the young nurse who had been scolded to tears, "Let me do it."

The young nurse looked at her and wiped her red eyes, "You... are you a nurse too? Do you know how to insert a needle?"

In An Ge’s memory, she had never inserted a needle or given IV drips to anyone.

But subconsciously, she felt that inserting a needle and giving IVs was as easy as eating and drinking water.

In fact, her intuition was correct.

To everyone’s surprise, and even without causing any pain to Lu Huai’an, she successfully inserted the needle and administered the IV.

Because of that, Lu Huai’an was quite impressed with An Ge.

He said, "I thought you were just a pretty decoration, but it turns out you might be a national treasure."

An Ge smiled at him, saying,

"I’m really glad you can still joke with me like this. If something really happened to you, my life would be over."

With that, she took a step back and gave Lu Huai’an a deep bow, "I’m sorry, I was too heavy-handed."

An Ge’s sudden formal apology made Lu Huai’an feel somewhat ashamed.

He said, "Alright, you don’t need to bother me like this. I was the one at fault that day; I should be the one apologizing."

Hearing this from him, the weight on An Ge’s heart completely lifted.

She curled her lips, "So we... are reconciled then?"

As she spoke, she walked to the coffee table, picked up the scarf and hat she had knitted herself, and extended them to Lu Huai’an, saying,

"I heard you’re going back to the Imperial City for recovery soon, and it’s even colder than Jingcheng. I don’t have much to give; the hat and gloves are homemade, so consider them my apology gift. I hope you won’t mind."

Just as she was saying this, Huo Shaoyan walked in after knocking on the door.

In a thin black long trench coat, his features were handsome and his aura was cold and imposing.

His presence inexplicably seemed to lower the room temperature to freezing in an instant.

An Ge couldn’t help but shiver.

Mrs. Lu, hearing her sneeze, quickly showed concern, "Girl, are you catching a cold?"

An Ge: "No, just a tickle in my nose."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu then went to greet Huo Shaoyan, "What brings President Huo here?"

Huo Shaoyan glanced discreetly at Lu Huai’an in the hospital bed and the scarf and hat in his hand, saying calmly,

"I heard Chairman Lu’s recovery post-surgery is going well, so I came to take a look."

Lu Huai’an sneered, saying,

"I say, President Huo, are you really here to see me, or to see our lucky little star? See, our lucky little star adores me and personally knitted me a scarf and gloves. President Huo, you’re her brother; did she give you any?"

An Ge really wanted to stuff an orange into Lu Huai’an’s mouth.

Her intuition told her that if she stayed any longer, Huo Shaoyan wouldn’t let her off easily.

With that thought, as soon as Lu Huai’an finished speaking, An Ge said,

"Chairman Lu, my mother needs care, so I won’t disturb your rest."

As she spoke, Huo Shaoyan had already stopped beside her and, in the next moment, extended his arm to pull her against his chest, pressing her toward his heart.

He leaned down close, his lips nearly grazing her earlobe, and with each breath, his warm lips teased every nerve beneath her skin, making her scalp tingle.

His voice was seductive and dangerous, "You sure know how to win people over, don’t you?"
