Chapter 146: Chapter 146 The Twins Are Boys~

Fu Rou had previously made a suicide attempt, so Huo Shaoyan dared not provoke her. Thus, his steps originally intended for An Ge paused for a moment, and he changed direction, sitting down beside Fu Rou. Once he was seated, Fu Rou shifted over a spot and pulled An Baoying to sit down. In this manner, An Baoying and Huo Shaoyan sat side by side.

Before Huo Shaoyan could express his displeasure, Fu Rou took An Baoying’s ultrasound scan and placed it in front of him, smiling as she said, "Ah Yan, even if you don’t recognize Baoying, you can’t deny your children. Look, these twins are developing so well. The doctor says they might both be boys; see how well their hearts are beating..."

With this, she steered the conversation towards the children in An Ge’s womb.

However, her words were directed at Huo Shaoyan. "I’ve heard that An Ge is also expecting twins. Have you found out who the father of her children is? What are your plans for her two children?"

This question immediately left Huo Shaoyan at a loss. He had never thought about this issue, or rather, he subjectively did not want to think about it. He remained silent, then took a cigarette from the pack and held it without lighting it.

Having observed his reaction closely, Fu Rou continued to twist the knife, saying, "Logically, since you are already married to her, the two of you will want children of your own in the future. But I’ve heard that she has a unique constitution, and these twins are her only chance to become a mother in her lifetime. So, if you insist on being with her, you are destined never to have a child that is biologically yours. Of course, it seems you are infatuated with her, and likely you will treat her children as your own. But, Ah Yan, if you can regard her children as your own, why can’t you be a little kinder to Baoying? After all, the child in Baoying’s belly is your own flesh and blood..."

As she spoke, the cigarette Huo Shaoyan held snapped into two pieces. His face showed no sign of shock, but his voice was chillingly clear. "No." After a few seconds, "I won’t neglect my own child for her illegitimate ones."

These words pierced An Ge’s heart like a sharp dagger. She finally raised her head, her beautiful peach blossom eyes calmly looking in his direction. But Huo Shaoyan did not look at her; he was looking at An Baoying beside him.

He said to An Baoying, "If it’s confirmed that the child is mine, then I can overlook all the despicable things you did in the past. I won’t neglect you and the child."

These words nearly moved An Baoying to tears of joy. She smiled as tears fell, choking with emotion, "I know I’m not worthy of you, and I have no desire to expect too much. Actually, as long as you acknowledge our child, I don’t care about having a status or dignity. As long as our child is okay, I’m happy."

She cried with restraint and grievance, looking extremely pitiable. Huo Shaoyan, moved to a rare state of compassion, handed her a tissue and said, "Why cry? It’s not like I’m truly being irresponsible to you and the child. Pregnant women should avoid emotional distress."

Huo Shaoyan’s rare kindness deeply touched An Baoying. She hurriedly took the tissue from Huo Shaoyan, wiped her eyes, then looked provocatively at An Ge and casually said, "But... won’t An Ge have concerns? After all, she is the true Mrs. Huo, and I..."

When An Baoying said this, Huo Shaoyan finally looked at An Ge. There was not only a bruise on her forehead but also a scrape, and the blood that had run down her face had coagulated. Although the wound no longer bled, it looked startling.

Huo Shaoyan’s adam’s apple bobbed violently, and his voice suddenly rose in volume, "How did it happen?"

An Ge took out a disinfectant wipe and slowly dabbed at the injured spot on her forehead, her tone indifferent, "I accidentally fell when I was in the bathroom just now and bumped into it."

Huo Shaoyan clearly didn’t believe it. His gaze fell on Fu Rou. "Was it your doing?"

Fu Rou didn’t deny it, taking a sip of tea. "She talked back to me. In a fit of anger, I hit her too hard."

Huo Shaoyan pressed his thin lips together, stood up, and walked to An Ge, stretching out his hand to her. "Let’s go."

An Ge stood from the sofa, but she didn’t take his hand. She didn’t look at him either. "Then I’ll wait for you at the parking lot outside."

Huo Shaoyan’s thin lips pursed coldly again, and his entire demeanor was extremely displeased.

At this moment, Mrs. Huo came downstairs from her study, accompanied by Housekeeper Su. She hadn’t seen An Ge for some days, and at first glance, it appeared as if An Ge had become so thin as to be hardly recognizable.

Despite her dissatisfaction with the marriage certificate An Ge and Huo Shaoyan had obtained, seeing An Ge in such a state, she couldn’t bear it. She originally intended to speak privately with An Ge, but at this point, the words stuck in her throat.

An Ge was the first to greet her, "Granny Huo."

Mrs. Huo took her hand, soothingly patting the back of it, her tone earnest and sincere, "Good child, it seems you were forced to this point against your will. I see you’re not in a good state today. I’ll find another time to chat with you alone. You and Ah Yan should go back first."

Fu Rou disapproved of Mrs. Huo’s arrangement. Furrowing her brows, she said, "Mrs. Huo, I invited you here to help me, not to undermine me. I’ve already prepared dinner, so why are you asking them to leave now? Don’t misunderstand the situation. The child Baoying carries is your own great-grandchild, and she has been eagerly waiting for Ah Yan to join her for dinner. Wouldn’t your arrangement be improper?"

An Ge had no intention of attending this dinner party. Humiliated and suppressed by Fu Rou, she was even more desperate to leave.

She didn’t want to stay a second longer.

Hence, after Fu Rou’s words fell, she almost immediately said to Huo Shaoyan, "Just as well, Nan Xiao texted me about something. I’ll head back first. You can stay with them."

With that, she turned to go, but Huo Shaoyan grabbed her wrist. He pulled her to him, "Mother wants us to stay for dinner. Don’t be unreasonable."

An Ge’s throat felt raw, as if she had swallowed blades. She swallowed hard, and after a moment, she said, "Alright."

At dinner, under Fu Rou’s arrangement, An Baoying sat next to Huo Shaoyan. An Ge sat between Fu Rou and Mrs. Huo. Apart from An Ge who felt intensely uncomfortable, the rest experienced an unexpectedly harmonious dining atmosphere.

Fu Rou focused her conversations on An Baoying’s prenatal checkups and future childbirth. Although Mrs. Huo outwardly disapproved of An Baoying, she was, in fact, gradually accepting both An Baoying and her child.

As for Huo Shaoyan, while his interactions with An Baoying weren’t intimate, compared to his usual cold and unfeeling demeanor, he was already being considerate. When An Baoying said the water was hot, he asked the maid to bring her a warm glass instead. When An Baoying complained of poor appetite and wanted something sour, he arranged for the maid to prepare a special dish for her.

In short, they truly seemed like a family.

And as for her, the legitimate wife, she felt like an outsider.

During the meal, An Ge ate without tasting the food, losing interest after only a few bites.

An hour later, when she sat in Huo Shaoyan’s car, she couldn’t hold back any longer and broached the subject with him, "President Huo, maybe we should just end this..."

Huo Shaoyan started the engine, his voice betraying no emotion, "Reasons?"
