Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Spoiling, Pampering~

That night, the man abandoned her while she was burning with a fever to meet with An Baoying. She tried to make him stay, but what happened? He merely warned her not to meddle too much. So her concern was absolutely meaningless.

An Ge continued speaking,

"To be honest, no matter whether it’s a family alliance, a match made in heaven, or simply a transaction, if it isn’t blessed by elders, the marriage is bound to be a chaotic mess. From the time we got our marriage certificate to now, it’s only been four or five days, and your mother has already attempted suicide once. If anything were to really happen to her, the one with deep regrets would be you, but I’d be the one bearing the consequences. Everyone would blame Lady Fu’s mishap on me, the so-called Demoness. So, the protection I want would ultimately become the knife stabbing me. In that case, I can’t have such protection. Unless..."

Huo Shaoyan looked at her. "Unless what?"

An Ge lifted her head, her gaze unwaveringly meeting his eyes, and said,

"Unless you swear to defend my identity as Mrs. Huo with your life, warning everyone, even your mother Lady Fu, that nothing can shake my place in your heart. Of course, this possibility is very slim..."

After all, she had been sick for so long, and he didn’t even send a single text message to check on her.

Huo Shaoyan looked at her deeply for a long moment, opened the car door, and said, "Get in."

An Ge asked, "Are we going for a divorce? If we are, I need to go upstairs and get the documents..."

Huo Shaoyan’s face was grim. "Do you really want to leave that much?"

An Ge questioned him bluntly, "Wasn’t it you who said your mother is forcing us to divorce by threatening suicide? If we don’t divorce, she’ll just keep causing trouble..."

"It’s already been resolved."

An Ge was astonished. "Huh? How did it get resolved..."

But the man ignored her and sat in the driver’s seat. He looked unhappy, clearly displeased. An Ge didn’t want to annoy him further, so she didn’t dare ask where they were going. She stayed silent.

After twenty minutes, the car stopped at the Huanqiu International Building.

Once he parked, the man was the first to open his door and get out. An Ge didn’t want to keep him waiting, so she hurried to unfasten her seatbelt. Yet for some reason, the latch stuck, and she fumbled for quite some time without success.

The impatient Huo Shaoyan came over with a gloomy face.

He opened the passenger side door, his brows deeply furrowed. "What are you stalling for?"

An Ge looked at him with a pitiful expression. "It’s stuck, I can’t unfasten it..."

"Idiot."

Though he said so, the man quickly leaned in to help her. He first extended his left hand, and when An Ge saw the Buddha Beads bracelet on his wrist, she was quite surprised. "I thought you would have thrown it away. I didn’t expect you still wore it."

Huo Shaoyan promptly undid the seatbelt for her, his Phoenix Eyes fixed steadily on her face as he said,

"I was going to, but I believe in Buddha. Getting rid of it after wearing it isn’t auspicious."

An Ge uttered an "Oh" in response, seeing that his expression didn’t seem so sour anymore, she asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

"An Xiaoge, what’s wrong with you? Did you not take to heart what your man said about getting you a wedding ring?"

An Ge thought he was just speaking casually. She was stunned for a moment before replying,

"These days of being so sick and weak, I’ve struggled even to get out of bed, and my mind just can’t remember anything."

Huo Shaoyan asked, "Are you blaming me for not coming to accompany you?"

An Ge got out of the car. "How would I dare? I know what role I play in this marriage."

Huo Shaoyan’s single hand slipped into his pants pocket, his expression sour again. "What role is that?"

"Just a legitimate and legal object for your desires."

Huo Shaoyan reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

"You dare speak. Buying an inflatable Barbie doll is better than having you, who is utterly ungrateful."

An Ge replied, "How am I ungrateful?"

"You are heartless in every way."

An Ge asked, "Why are you getting angry out of nowhere?"

Huo Shaoyan pinched her waist, causing An Ge to gasp in pain. "Ungrateful!"

Huo Shaoyan tossed out the words and released her, striding away. An Ge didn’t want to break completely with him—she was already isolated and helpless. She couldn’t afford to offend this master.

She hurried to catch up, "Hey, wait for me..."

But not only did the man not wait, he walked even faster.

The mall was enormous, and he deliberately avoided using the elevator. An Ge was out of breath from trying to keep up.

She could hardly run any longer, clutching her waist and gulping in air. Just as he was about to walk out of her line of sight, she had a sudden idea, and yelled at his retreating back,

"Husband, wait for me!"

She recalled seeing this tactic work well in dramas.

To her surprise, the fast-walking man actually paused his step because of her cry.

Seeing her plan work, An Ge’s eyes brightened.

She quickly jogged up to him and, taking the initiative, grabbed his hand, speaking in a coquettish tone,

"You’re walking too fast. Running is so tiring..."

She truly was exhausted from running. Her face was flushed, looking particularly innocent and sultry. Huo Shaoyan’s heart was moved, and he stretched out his arm, pulling her into his embrace.

He lifted her chin with a single hand, looking down at her slightly stunned face. "What did you just call me?"

An Ge blinked her large, clear eyes and said, "Do you like it when I call you ’husband’?"

Huo Shaoyan swallowed, leaning down to press a kiss on her crimson lips.

In the bustling crowd of the mall, An Ge’s face flushed a deep red instantly. She was utterly embarrassed.

Yet the man’s hands held her waist tightly, giving her nowhere to hide.

After an intense kiss, she wished she could bury her face completely in his chest, not wanting to lift her head.

Her cheek pressed to the beat of his heart, she said in a low, muffled voice, "So many people, don’t do that again next time..."

Though she expressed her discomfort, Huo Shaoyan found her shyness endearing, akin to a pure and clean young girl. Unfortunately...she was already irrevocably tainted.

The thought ignited a fierce dark fire in him, coupled with a surge of destructive desire.

He really had been enchanted by this Demoness, just as his mother claimed.

"Cousin?"

An incredulous female voice sounded from behind them.

An Ge recognized it immediately—it was Jiang Qingyi.

She had crossed paths with Jiang Qingyi twice, once being doused in the face with water, and once slapped in the parking lot of Huangchao Night Club.

Because of Tang Jiuze, she and this woman were destined to be enemies.

An Ge didn’t want to clash with her, so she buried her face deep in Huo Shaoyan’s chest, thinking that this way, Jiang Qingyi wouldn’t recognize her.

Her actions of tightening her grip around his waist and burying her face into his chest caused Huo Shaoyan’s entire body to tense.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice low and rich. "Why are you hiding?"

"I can’t afford to provoke her."

Huo Shaoyan chuckled lowly. "Mrs. Huo, is this all the courage you have?"
