Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 155 His Kiss

Chapter 155: Chapter 155 His Kiss

The phone was still off.

Young Master Huo decided to try the next best thing and called Xiao Ye, who was with her. Xiao Ye deliberately let the phone ring without answering it. By the third call, Xiao Ye decisively blocked him.

After blocking Young Master Huo, Xiao Ye looked at An Ge, who was still kneeling in front of Ms. Wen Ning’s tombstone, and said, "Ancestor, you’ve been kneeling for over two hours. Even if you don’t care for yourself, shouldn’t you think about the child in your belly? The whole point of standing up to Young Master Huo is for your unborn child, right? Stop this self-harm; no one else cares or feels sorry for you. As Buddha said, ’All suffering, only self-salvation.’ If you don’t cherish yourself, no one can save you."

For someone as carefree and indifferent as Xiao Ye to say such words was no small feat. An Ge realized he considered her a friend; otherwise, he wouldn’t reveal his heart like this. It wasn’t self-mutilation for her; kneeling here at her mother’s grave brought a deep sense of peace, allowing her to think calmly.

Her legs had gone numb, and she tried to stand but failed. Xiao Ye supported her, helping her stand with his strength, and then she said, "I’m... not An Zhiguo’s biological daughter."

Xiao Ye was too shocked to speak.

An Ge continued, "And maybe not my mother’s biological daughter, either."

Xiao Ye asked, "What do you mean?"

An Ge summed it up succinctly, "I secretly did a paternity test with An Zhiguo, and it turned out I’m not his daughter. Whether I’m my mother’s biological daughter still needs further confirmation."

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, then said, "How can you confirm it? Your mom’s been cremated; there’s nothing left but a handful of ashes. It’s impossible to do a paternity test with ashes."

An Ge replied, "If my guess is correct, the one in the small coffin next to my mom is her biological daughter. I..."

She paused, "I want to open the coffin and take a sample to do a paternity test with An Zhiguo."

Xiao Ye was once again shocked.

An Ge continued, "This matter pertains to the mystery of my origins. I’ve only told you and hope you’ll help me and keep it a secret. An Zhiguo’s family must have done many outrageous things, and before the truth comes to light, I don’t want to alert them."

Xiao Ye thought about the current favor An Baoying had with the Huo family. Alone, An Ge indeed couldn’t stand against their entire family. If it came out now that she wasn’t An Zhiguo’s biological daughter, it could indeed alert the snake.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye said, "Fine. As it turns out, we’re in the same boat. Your mom’s gone; so is mine. You’re not welcome at home, and I’m not either. Misery loves company, I guess. I’ll help with this."

An hour later, An Ge and Xiao Ye successfully opened the coffin and collected a sample. After obtaining the sample, An Ge knelt down and paid respects to the small coffin’s occupant.

After saying a prayer, the two of them headed back to Lin’an City’s district overnight.

No sooner had they settled into their accommodation than Young Master Huo appeared before An Ge with four bodyguards in tow.

When their eyes met, An Ge’s gaze remained calm.

Before Young Master Huo could take out his anger on Xiao Ye, she said, "Please, let me handle this."

An Ge had asked Xiao Ye to carry out the paternity test with An Zhiguo, which was why she made this request. Xiao Ye knew his limits; he didn’t even dare offend his uncle Xiao Chaofeng, let alone go head-to-head with Young Master Huo.

So, with a nod to An Ge, he picked up the room key and turned to leave.

After Xiao Ye departed, An Ge walked up to Young Master Huo, her voice devoid of emotion, "President Huo, chasing your wife in the middle of the night—someone who didn’t know better might think you’re madly in love with me."

Her clothes were covered in dirt, on her shoes, her collar, her knees, and even her face bore smudges. She looked somewhat disheveled yet strangely defiant and rebellious.

Young Master Huo’s patience with her had worn thin, his compassion exhausted. He didn’t like disobedient women, nor those he couldn’t control. Unfortunately for him, An Ge embodied both.

Young Master Huo declared, "Before I lose my temper, come back with me..."

"Let’s wait until morning."

An Ge’s tone was calm, her gaze distant, eyes unfocused yet seemingly intent on something specific.

"I’m tired; my body can’t take it."

Having said that, she turned and walked in the direction of the elevator, completely disregarding Young Master Huo’s consent. Stubborn to a fault and utterly reckless.

This wasn’t the An Ge that Young Master Huo used to know. The woman before him now had shed her gentle, obedient exterior, revealing sharp barbs—anyone who tried to touch her would end up hurt.

Young Master Huo took a deep breath and quickly followed. Qin Lang, with four bodyguards in tow, kept pace behind them.

Before stepping into the elevator, Young Master Huo told Qin Lang, "Find a place to stay; we’ll leave in the morning."

Qin Lang agreed and left with the bodyguards.

Inside the elevator, after pressing the floor button, An Ge turned to him before he could start trouble, "President Huo, whatever it is, let’s discuss it tomorrow morning. Right now, neither my mood nor my state of mind is suitable for a conversation—whatever you say, I won’t listen. And if you just came all the way here to settle accounts with me, then go ahead. I won’t retaliate or argue back."

Young Master Huo was so infuriated by her words that he laughed, "You’ve said it all. What else is there for me to say?"

Turning, An Ge faced away from him, "Then there’s nothing more to say."

Young Master Huo: "..."

When the elevator doors opened, An Ge was the first to step out, followed closely by Young Master Huo, grinding his molars in silence.

Before swiping the keycard to enter, An Ge turned her head to say, "President Huo, I think we’re in a cold war now. During a cold war, I won’t let you into my bed."

She paused, "Especially when you have marks on you from An Baoying’s kisses. I have a psychological aversion to it—until those marks disappear, I won’t let you touch me... mm..."

Her further words were swallowed by a kiss, as Young Master Huo, unable to endure her defiance any longer, seized her chin and claimed her mouth deeply. He kissed her fiercely while freeing one hand to take her keycard and open the room.

As soon as the door swung open, he took her inside and shut the door with a forceful slam. Throughout the entire process, his lips never left her skin.

He kissed her with such ferocity that An Ge had no strength to fight back, only managing a bite in self-defense to force him away. But Young Master Huo was unwavering in his determination to teach her a lesson; soon he had stripped her bare, pressing her against the frosty glass wall of the bathroom.

The icy glass against her back and the scalding heat of the man were stark contrasts that overwhelmed all her senses.

Furious, she managed to gasp out, "Huo Shaoyan... mm—"

Her attempt to speak was silenced again, her lips captured by his.
