Chapter 125: Chapter 125: President Huo Is Heartbroken~

His words carried a deeper meaning to the onlookers.

Someone in the crowd began to stir things up.

"Ms. An Ge, it’s Young Master Huo’s birthday today, and he’s already spoken harshly. Why not perform a stunt to entertain him?"

"Yeah, since you’re from a humble background and can’t give a proper gift, just walk barefoot on glass fragments. That sounds exciting."

"Exactly, look, even Young Master Huo himself has tacitly agreed."

Amidst the chatter, An Ge felt her blood growing colder and colder, and her heart turning numb.

Her eyes stayed fixed on the man sitting on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed, completely ignoring her presence.

Her fingers, hanging by her sides, clenched and unclenched until her nails dug into her palms, leaving a sticky, wet sensation. Only then did she release her grip.

A drop of blood fell from her palm onto the gray-white carpet.

She lowered her gaze, watching the drop quickly absorbed by the carpet, and took off her soft-soled cloth shoes.

She was pregnant, and even though her shoes were just ten-dollar market goods, they were soft-soled and comfortable to walk in.

After taking off her shoes, her gaze fell on the shimmering glass bottle fragments, her voice faint in the air.

She said, "If I walk over there barefoot, will you help me contact Young Master Jiang?"

But the only response she got was the man’s indifference.

The crowd, however, grew increasingly excited, egging her on with their comments.

"Go barefoot."

"Yeah, wearing socks doesn’t count; you have to take those off too."

"Hey, you’re going too far. Don’t you have any pity for such a beautiful lady?"

"Psh, she’s just a withered flower, a soiled plaything. Would you want her?"

The comments grew more vulgar as the alcohol took effect.

An Baoying was secretly delighted, though her face remained expressionless.

She scolded the crowd, "Don’t overdo it."

People quieted down, knowing the place of respect to give to An Baoying, whom everyone assumed would become Mrs. Huo due to her child.

An Baoying reveled in the respect and fear from those around her. Her eyes fell on the unusually pale An Ge, making a show of chastising, she spoke to Huo Shaoyan, who still had his eyes closed.

"Young Master Huo, though my sister doesn’t know the rules and has angered you, it’s a matter of life and death for her. Could you please help her? She has been with her mother since childhood, and their bond is deep. At this time..."

She hadn’t even finished speaking when Huo Shaoyan’s eyes snapped open, bloodshot beneath the chandelier lights. His gaze was cold and terrifying.

He let out a thick sarcastic laugh, saying, "A deep bond between mother and daughter? I haven’t seen that."

An Ge caught the implication behind his words.

He meant that if there was such a deep bond, she wouldn’t have dawdled and not walked barefoot over the glass shards.

An Ge bent down and removed her socks.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman’s feet could even captivate with just her toes.

Her feet were exceptionally fair and tender, even her toenails were translucent and lustrous.

Those feet compelled every man present to swallow hard and stare, except for Huo Shaoyan and the onlooker Xiao Chaofeng.

Xiao Chaofeng watched as An Ge stepped slowly toward the pile of shattered glass, then looked over at Huo Shaoyan.

He squinted slightly, curling his lips in a mocking smile as he said, "Tsk, I used to think you treated her differently, but now I see it’s just you being fickle after the novelty wore off."

The sharp pain shooting from her soles made An Ge let out a faint, muffled groan.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain.

But the shards pierced her so sharply, it reminded her of being held down and having her nails pulled out in prison by Lee Dahai’s orders.

Back then, it hurt so much she passed out.

Although the pain didn’t match that of having her nails pulled out, her heart ached even more.

Her lashes trembled from the pain, cool sweat dripping down her face.

Finally, Huo Shaoyan deigned to look at her, eyes fixed on her face.

It felt as if his heart was pierced by a sharp object, causing a sudden, intense pain.

At last, in a fit of impatience, he spoke, "Enough!"

An Ge said, "It’s not enough. I haven’t finished."

Huo Shaoyan’s throat bobbed violently as he nearly roared, "I said enough."

A glistening layer of tears filled An Ge’s eyes. She looked up at his dark and brooding face, biting her lip as she asked, "Then can you call Young Master Jiang now?"

Just as Huo Shaoyan was about to agree, An Baoying let out a painful scream, "Ah, it hurts, Young Master Huo, my lower abdomen suddenly hurts..."

She was an excellent actress, able to play any role convincingly.

Clinging to Huo Shaoyan’s arm, she babbled incoherently, "Young Master Huo... save our child. I... I actually noticed some bleeding this morning, but I didn’t care at the time. Now... could it be that the baby is in danger? Young Master Huo, save me..."

As she spoke, she ’fainted.’

Huo Shaoyan was preparing to have someone take An Baoying to the hospital when Fu Rou appeared, accompanied by Shen Hongxiu.

Fu Rou’s appearance disrupted Huo Shaoyan’s plans.

His expression turned grim. "Second Aunt, why did you bring mother here?"

Shen Hongxiu had already informed Fu Rou about An Baoying fainting.

Thus, the moment he finished speaking, Fu Rou urgently said, "It’s a good thing I came. Who knows what chaos might have ensued otherwise? Why are you still standing there? Hurry and take Baoying to the hospital."

Huo Shaoyan called Qin Lang, "Take her to the hospital..."

Fu Rou was furious, "Huo Shaoyan, are you trying to infuriate me? Your woman and child could be at risk at any moment. As a man, isn’t it your duty to go with them?"

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Xiao Chaofeng finally stepped in with some level-headed words.

He said to Huo Shaoyan, "You take An Baoying to the hospital, I’ll handle An Ge here."

Not wanting to upset his mother, and remembering when Fu Rou had been hospitalized due to anger last time, Huo Shaoyan quickly left with An Baoying in his arms.

Before leaving, he glanced at An Ge, "This is all your choice!"

After Huo Shaoyan left, An Ge felt numb from the pain all over.

She felt only cold, nothing else.

Xiao Chaofeng immediately called for help, extracting her from the glass shards and fetching a resident private physician.

As the female doctor used tweezers to remove the first piece of glass from her sole, An Ge’s consciousness seemed to awaken.

Her dark eyes shifted, landing on Xiao Chaofeng’s face, her voice urgent as she asked, "Can you contact Young Master Jiang Fengmian?"

Xiao Chaofeng said, "Don’t worry, we’re already calling him."

An Ge nodded, expressing her thanks.

"Ms. An, I beg you, can you please stop entangling with my son?"

These words were spoken by Fu Rou.

Fu Rou hadn’t left, remaining behind to warn An Ge.

An Ge’s gaze fell on her face, her voice calm, "I won’t. Not anymore."

Huo Shaoyan’s coldness made her see reality clearly.

She should never have harbored illusions about him.
