Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Kissing Her Lips~

An Ge said, "Then I want to try all the street foods of the Imperial City’s nooks and crannies. President Huo, you better not restrict me."

Huo Shaoyan replied, "Junk food is a no."

An Ge asked, "What’s junk food?"

"Street stalls."

An Ge made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "I want to try the signature dish of the Imperial Hotel, the Imperial roast duck, and I must have it later."

"Mmm, okay."

An Ge continued, "I also want to eat the candied haw from Xici Alley, Ai Wowo from the Forbidden City, and Douzhir from Xiao Nancheng..."

An Ge listed several snack locations in Imperial City in one breath, and Huo Shaoyan satisfied all her requests.

After completing the check-in formalities at the front desk, they took the room card.

Originally, An Ge had booked a standard room, but Huo Shaoyan upgraded her to the presidential suite on the top floor, elevating her stay to a whole new level.

An Ge only had essentials like a change of clothes in her backpack, lacking even basic skincare products apart from a charging bank and cable.

After glancing at the contents of her backpack, Huo Shaoyan said, "Since you’re here, why not stay in the Imperial City for a few more days?"

An Ge’s hand paused as she organized her backpack. She turned her head to look at him and asked, "Are you staying with me?"

"Do I look available?"

An Ge felt a pang in her heart and continued packing her things.

At that moment, Huo Shaoyan received a call from Fu Rou.

He quickly walked a few steps away with the phone and answered Fu Rou’s call.

Although An Ge couldn’t hear what they were discussing, observing Huo Shaoyan’s expression, she got a sense of what Fu Rou might have said.

Retracting her gaze, An Ge took out the clothes she needed to change into after bathing and put the backpack aside.

Huo Shaoyan finished the call in just half a minute before approaching her.

An Ge said to him, "Are they urging you to go back? You’re Mr. Fu’s only grandson. If you’re not at such an occasion, I can’t imagine what the Fu Family would say about you. Go ahead, and come back once you’re done. I won’t run away."

Her tone was considerate and pleasant, not argumentative at all.

Huo Shaoyan looked down at her for a moment, lifted her chin, and lightly brushed his lips against hers, whispering, "So obedient?"

An Ge dodged his intimacy.

Her keen sense of smell reminded her of the brand of perfume An Baoying usually wore, which she had ignored downstairs in her eagerness to please him.

But now, with them in close proximity, she couldn’t ignore it even if she tried.

Without drawing attention, she distanced herself a bit and tilted her head, commenting lightly, "Or are you feeling troubled to introduce me at Mr. Fu’s birthday banquet?"

As Huo Shaoyan’s expression shifted slightly, An Ge stepped forward, looked up at his deepening eyes, and pretended to be nonchalant, "Didn’t you say you’d spoil me? Or, you could take me along?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shaoyan’s face darkened even more.

After a moment, he finally said to An Ge, "Tonight’s occasion isn’t right."

An Ge smiled slightly, not saying anything more.

How laughable, she thought, that as Mrs. Huo, she wouldn’t be suitable for a man’s grandfather’s birthday banquet.

Huo Shaoyan soon left.

Shortly after he left, all sorts of Imperial City snacks that An Ge wanted arrived at her door.

Besides that, Huo Shaoyan also had several sets of warmer winter clothes and skincare products brought in for her.

The person responsible for the purchases was Huo Shaoyan’s female secretary, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and was addressed as Secretary Jin.

During the first time An Ge signed the blood transfusion agreement with Huo Shaoyan, it was this Secretary Jin who handled it.

An Ge remembered her because Secretary Jin had been quite unfriendly towards her.

Back then, after they signed that agreement, Secretary Jin had warned her, "Young Master Huo likes things to be low-key. If you stir trouble and displease him, not only will you not get a cent, but you might also get into serious trouble. Ms. An Ge, take care of yourself."

An Ge had disliked Secretary Jin’s condescending attitude and asked for her name, only to be told, "You’re not worthy to know," dismissing her outright.

The memory of this incident was vivid to An Ge, so recalling it now was like watching it happen all over again.

After arranging the purchased items, Secretary Jin coldly said to An Ge, "Ms. An Ge, if there’s anything else you need, let me know so I can get it for you in time."

The relationship between women could be quite subtle, sometimes not needing a word to discern friend from foe.

What’s more, Secretary Jin’s attitude was plainly distant.

An Ge circled her, then suddenly laughed and said, "You must really admire President Huo, right?"

Caught off guard, Secretary Jin’s expression quickly turned sour.

She retorted, "Mind your words."

An Ge chuckled and said, "We’re all enchantresses from the Silk Cave. Don’t pretend to be a pure fairy in front of me. You must hate that apart from being prettier, I have nothing over you. Yet, President Huo married a woman like me as Mrs. Huo. You tolerate An Baoying because she at least carries President Huo’s child, but I’m not. You despise me, yet have no choice but to serve me because of my status. You’re suffocating inside, aren’t you?"

An Ge’s words were blunt, so blunt that Secretary Jin didn’t bother to pretend anymore.

Crossing her arms, she assumed a superior posture and said, "That’s right. I do look down on you, Ms. An Ge..."

However, she couldn’t finish her words as An Ge interrupted, "Please call me Mrs. Huo."

Pausing with a note of significance, An Ge said, "Whether you like it or not, I am now the mistress you serve. You’re paid by my husband, so you should conduct his affairs well. If you can’t or don’t want to, there are plenty eager to take your place as President Huo’s secretary."

An Ge’s words immediately silenced Secretary Jin.

An Ge continued, veering into matters she was more concerned about, "How long have you been with President Huo?"

Their initial confrontation made Secretary Jin realize An Ge wasn’t easy to deal with, so she didn’t risk offending her outright.

Thus, Secretary Jin respectfully responded to An Ge’s inquiry, "Five years."

An Ge nodded and said, "You’ve been by President Huo’s side for five years, so you must be quite important to him. Let me inquire about something."

Secretary Jin asked, "What is it?"

An Ge pondered for a moment and then said, "You’ve been with President Huo for so long, I’m sure you know a lot about the person he cares for deeply. Tell me about her. What kind of person is she to haunt him so?"

Though Secretary Jin initially hesitated, she thought about how she could use this to stab An Ge softly, so she relented, saying, "She’s the daughter of Qin Huaisheng from the Qin family in Imperial City. In that generation, she was the only treasured daughter, seventh in line with six older brothers, truly the apple of everyone’s eye. I’m not sure of the exact connection between the President and this little princess. All I know is the President owes his life to Qin Huaisheng. Be it gratitude or otherwise, the President holds this little princess in exceptional regard."

An Ge asked, "How so?"

Secretary Jin continued, "Ten years ago, before the Qin family tragedy, the President donated a part of his liver to save Ms. Qiqi. Due to his body’s unique reaction to anesthesia, he had the surgery fully conscious. With that alone, no one could compare to Ms. Qiqi."

President Huo was truly devoted.

This thought turned An Ge’s heart slightly sour.
