Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Overbearing Protection~

An Ge closed her eyes, forcing back the tears that surged beneath them.

Yes, indeed.

The man didn’t even talk about liking her, so what leverage did she have to threaten him with?

If there’s no love, or not enough liking, what do the lives of others have to do with oneself anyway?

This is human nature. Huo Shaoyan simply stated the essence of it bluntly; she had no reason to feel aggrieved.

Thinking this way, the intense ache in An Ge’s heart seemed to disperse a lot.

She reopened her eyes, looked at the man still standing by her hospital bed, and said,

"Then let’s put it another way, I swear to protect the lives of my two children to the death."

Huo Shaoyan stared at her silently and deeply for nearly half a minute before saying,

"The woman who broke into the cellar that night, besides you, was An Baoying..."

An Ge looked up at him and said, "So what?"

"Whether it’s you or An Baoying, as long as your DNA amniotic fluid test results show you’re not carrying my child, the outcome will be the same; the pregnancy shall be terminated."

An Ge licked her lips and chuckled lightly,

"Do you think that by saying this, I’ll accept the possibility of being forced to terminate my pregnancy? Huo Shaoyan, I refuse to accept it."

Huo Shaoyan clearly lost his last ounce of patience with her stubbornness.

He raised his hand to pinch his aching brows and coldly declared to her, "What makes you think you have the leverage to say no to me?"

An Ge’s emotions finally erupted; she yanked out the IV needle from her hand and got out of bed barefoot.

Her feet landed on the cold marble floor, chilling her to the bone.

She lifted her head, looked at him, and said with unwavering determination,

"I am the mother of the children. I will protect them with my life. That is my biggest leverage. Did you understand clearly?"

Huo Shaoyan was taken aback by the resolve in her eyes and the fierce aura emanating from her entire being.

Inside her soft and delicate body lay such a strong-willed soul.

His thin lips pressed together as he remained silent.

An Ge continued speaking,

"I don’t care how your first love’s family met their tragic end at the hands of their enemies. I did nothing wrong, nor did the children deserve any blame. It’s the truly villainous who should be punished, not us, the women and children."

She paused,

"Of course, the incompetent always place their grievances on the innocent. If you’re that type of person, I’ve already prepared to fight to the death."

Leaving those words behind, An Ge bent down to find her shoes, put them on, and immediately turned to leave the hospital room.

She moved quickly, filled with a hasty panic to escape, and by the time Huo Shaoyan reacted to pursue her, she was already in the elevator.

He caught up with her just before she could get into a taxi and leave.

A taxi stopped next to An Ge and asked if she was leaving. Huo Shaoyan gave a cold glance, making the driver slam on the gas and speed away.

An Ge looked at the man blocking her way,

"Young Master Huo, I don’t want to have a confrontation with you at all, nor do I want to argue. Can you give me a bit of private space?"

Her expression was particularly cold, her gaze lacking any warmth, which made Huo Shaoyan especially irritable.

Still, he suppressed everything.

He restrained his anger and, with dominance and authority, said,

"Do you want to lie back on the bed by yourself, or should I tie you up and then chain you to it?"

An Ge said, "I choose not to go back. If you try to stop me..." She paused, "I will not be polite to you."

Huo Shaoyan was angered to laughter by her words, "How do you plan to be impolite..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain as she kneed him hard in the groin, sweating in intense pain.

Taking advantage of the moment, An Ge dashed across traffic and flagged down a car to leave.

She didn’t return to her apartment but sought out Nan Xiao instead.

Xiao Chaofeng had been spoiling Nan Xiao recently. As long as she nodded, Xiao Chaofeng would offer her the position of Mrs. Xiao.

An Ge knew Huo Shaoyan’s power was overwhelming. She wouldn’t be able to hide for long before he found her.

But she still wanted to hide, for as long as she could, just to avoid being caught right away.

Seeing Nan Xiao at that moment, she spoke to her with an exhausted and helpless look,

"Help me, please, I’m really running out of options..."

After listening to the backstory, Nan Xiao poured her a cup of warm water, thought for a moment, and analyzed objectively,

"An Ge, I can only help you for a while but can’t solve the root problem. If you just need some time to buffer, I can call Xiao Chaofeng to arrange it, and with his interference, Huo Shaoyan won’t be able to catch you immediately."

An Ge clasped her pale face with both hands, "Even a one or two-day buffer would be good."

Nan Xiao nodded, "Alright. I’ll arrange it."

...

As night fell, while driving Nan Xiao back to the Xiao Family’s old residence to meet the elders, their car was suddenly crashed at the gates of the Xiao Mansion by Huo Shaoyan.

Due to inertia, Nan Xiao was thrown against the windshield of the car, and her nose started bleeding at once.

Seeing his woman injured, Xiao Chaofeng was beyond furious.

After ensuring that Nan Xiao was alright, he got out of the car swearing and swung his fist at Huo Shaoyan, who had also just exited his car.

Xiao Chaofeng, with his military background, could have been a veteran with countless achievements if not for a severe internal injury during a campaign.

Therefore, enraged, Xiao Chaofeng’s moves were deadly.

Huo Shaoyan wasn’t a pushover either, and soon both men were fighting fiercely.

Nan Xiao, stepping out of the car, watched the fight without interfering, coldly observing like a bystander.

Huo Shaoyan intended to bring An Ge back; fighting wasn’t his goal, nor was defeating Xiao Chaofeng. He needed quick action.

So, a few minutes later, Huo Shaoyan targeted Nan Xiao, quickly grasping her throat within seconds.

His grip was strong, and Nan Xiao instantly lost all her air, her face full of pain.

Xiao Chaofeng clenched his jaw, nodded toward him, "Let her go."

Huo Shaoyan’s voice was icy, "Where did you hide her?"

Xiao Chaofeng lit a cigarette. As he exhaled the smoke, he laughed, "She’s dying."

Huo Shaoyan’s chest shivered, "What did you say?"

Seizing Huo Shaoyan’s momentary lapse, Xiao Chaofeng pulled Nan Xiao back, protectively placing her behind him.

At this moment, the Xiao family’s bodyguards appeared.

Xiao Chaofeng instructed them, "Take her inside."

After being escorted away by a bodyguard, Huo Shaoyan yanked Xiao Chaofeng’s collar, "Explain yourself clearly to me!"

Xiao Chaofeng bent a knee, kicking toward Huo Shaoyan’s stomach, saying,

"It’s literal. She’s barely holding on, refusing to eat or drink, saying she just wants a moment’s peace alone."

Huo Shaoyan swallowed his anger, asking again, "Where is she?"

Xiao Chaofeng replied, "She went back to her old home in Lin’an City. A few minutes ago, Xiao Ye, who’s looking after her, called and said she was refusing to leave her mother’s grave."

Only Xiao Chaofeng could so discreetly send An Ge back to her old home in Lin’an City under his nose.

Getting the answer he wanted, Huo Shaoyan quickly withdrew.

He drove toward the private airport on the outskirts of the city, calling Qin Lang, "Prepare the plane; we’re heading to Wen’s Mansion in Lin’an City immediately."

After instructing Qin Lang, he dialed An Ge’s phone number.
