Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Deep Affection

He began, "Why did you come to see the old lady?"

An Ge replied nonchalantly, "It’s almost New Year, and the old lady wants me to make a qipao for her."

Young Master Huo squinted his eyes, "Is that all?"

An Ge turned her head to look at him, "What else?"

Huo Shaoyan instinctively felt it couldn’t be that simple. He always thought An Ge wasn’t a woman who would be content with the status quo. The DNA paternity test results would come out soon, meaning he could take the life of the child in her womb at any moment.

Huo Shaoyan didn’t believe that in the face of such a crisis, An Ge could remain so calm.

So, he took a few steps to stand in front of her, looking down at her with a dangerous tone in his voice as he said, "You wouldn’t be plotting some conspiracy with the old lady behind my back, would you?"

An Ge followed his words with a smile and said, "Do you think I have the ability to plot any kind of conspiracy? You hold life and death in your hands; I only wish to live quietly and safely. That’s all. What waves could I possibly stir up?"

With that, she leaned closer to his chest.

She reached out her finger, sliding it from his cheek down to his seductive Adam’s apple, further down to his heart, which was beating strong.

Finally, her finger rested on his lower abdomen, giving a playful poke, as she laughed like a seductive nine-tailed fox, "Before, you craved my body. Now that you have a new love, I no longer even have the ability to fulfill your desires. What waves could I possibly stir up?"

Her last words were deliberately drawn out.

Huo Shaoyan felt a fire ignite in his heart from her teasing.

His throat grew raspy as he pressed her against the door, his thin lips falling on her neck, resembling a bite more than a kiss, both fierce and harsh as he said, "Don’t change the subject with me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he let out a low, nearly passionate groan.

This audacious woman, she dared to...

Huo Shaoyan’s throat bobbed again, with veins at his temple taut.

He felt the fire stoked inside him, ready to burst forth, and if he didn’t release this storm onto An Ge, his fury would remain unsated.

However, An Ge released him at that moment and pushed him away.

At the same time, she opened the door.

And outside the door, there was An Muxin, her face still wearing a smile.

Of course, upon seeing Huo Shaoyan’s reaction, her smile faltered.

Yet, she wasn’t upset at all.

Her cheeks flushed as she quickly withdrew her gaze from where it shouldn’t linger and said to An Ge, "I... I didn’t interrupt anything between you and my brother, did I? I came to get the nightgown I left in his room last night. I think I left it on his bed. Sister, did you see it?"

It was at this moment An Ge realized that the thoughts of this eighteen-year-old young girl weren’t simple.

But she didn’t mind.

Magnanimously she said, "Oh, it’s on the bed." Pausing, she sincerely praised, "The style is quite trendy and sexy, isn’t it? Young Master Huo indeed has no lack of good fortune."

An Muxin’s cheeks reddened up to her ears and, looking shy, she stomped her foot, "Sister, stop saying that, it’s so embarrassing~"

An Ge coldly laughed in her heart and walked away.

As soon as An Ge disappeared from sight, Huo Shaoyan said to An Muxin, "Talking all that nonsense in front of her, it’s meaningless."

An Muxin affectionately linked her arm with his, acting coy as she said, "I know Brother thinks I’m too young to touch, but I’ll be yours eventually. I’m willing to wait until the day Brother is ready to take me."

Huo Shaoyan did indeed have a soft spot for An Muxin, probably because her face bore such a striking resemblance to Qin Xiaoqi’s youthful face.

But he knew where to draw the line.

He removed An Muxin’s arm from his elbow, his attitude much more solemn than before.

"I already have a Mrs. Huo. I’m not going to touch another woman, whether you look like Qiqi or because you’re her cousin, I won’t touch you."

Huo Shaoyan paused, then added with a hint of meaning, "I’ve already booked you a ticket back to [Imperial City]. Prepare yourself; I’ll have Qin Lang escort you to the airport."

Regarding Huo Shaoyan’s arrangement, An Muxin wasn’t angry at all.

She wasn’t angry; instead, she obediently and cheerfully replied, "Since you want me to leave, Xinxin will not stay, but I think it’s because of my resemblance that you’re afraid of being too close to me, and can’t do without me, that’s why you’re in such a hurry to send me away from [Jingcheng]. Brother, am I right?"

Huo Shaoyan didn’t respond to her question directly.

Women tend to assume, often taking a man’s silence as agreement.

Inexperienced in matters of the heart, An Muxin presumptuously thought Huo Shaoyan held some deeper feelings for her. Why else would a man spend such a fortune to buy and gift her a "longevity lock"?

Moreover, last night, when she dressed so seductively and ventured onto his bed to tease him, though scolded, he certainly hadn’t been entirely indifferent.

An Muxin was convinced that no man was beyond her allure, including Huo Shaoyan.

However, she knew haste makes waste; for Huo Shaoyan, she was willing to wait.

...

Around 8 p.m., while An Ge was on her way back upstairs after taking out the trash, someone blocked her path.

"Ms. An, I’d like to have a private conversation with you."

An Ge looked at the young girl wearing designer clothes standing in front of her, whose face bore a bold and ostentatious smile, now devoid of the naivety from the daytime, replaced with sheer disdain.

Meeting her clear and clean peach blossom eyes, An Ge said with a half-smile, "What’s this, no more pretense?"

The smile on An Muxin’s lips widened as she candidly said, "Brother’s not here, who should I pretend for?"

An Ge nodded, guessing her purpose, and openly stated, "Rest assured, I’m not interested in your brother Huo and won’t compete with you for him."

An Muxin raised her eyebrow, "A woman’s lips, deceitful lies. I don’t believe you." Then paused, "Unless..."

An Ge asked, "Unless what?"

A cold flash appeared in An Muxin’s eyes as she smiled, "Unless you swear on the child in your womb, that if you ever compete with me for a man, your children will never find peace!"

Upon hearing this, An Ge’s expression turned cold, "You’ve gone too far!"

An Muxin sneered, "Did I go too far, or is it you who can’t bury the hatchet? A man like Brother, a dragon among men, how could a disreputable woman like you be willing to let go once you’re attached to him like some shameless clinging plaster?"

An Ge laughed in anger, saying, "If you put it that way, just because of your current fierce and provocative attitude, I’m actually tempted to compete with you and see how you end up utterly defeated at my hands."

An Muxin finally got angry, her volume rising, "You, An, are simply not my match. I’m telling you, I’ve never failed to get what I want from childhood to now. Even my cousin, Qin Xiaoqi, who was once adored by thousands, had to yield to me. And you, not even worth her finger, yet dare to dream of competing with me for a man, what a joke..."

After An Muxin finished her tirade, An Ge simply said, "If you’re so confident, what brings you here to block my way on such a late night?"

An Muxin was momentarily choked silent.

But soon, she haughtily told An Ge, "I came specifically to inform you, I’m already my brother’s woman."

She paused, speaking with an insinuating tone, "I managed to enchant him successfully with the black, silky nightgown you saw earlier."

At this, she leaned closer, blatantly whispering in An Ge’s ear, "You probably can never imagine how wild he was with me, scolding me as seductive, yet never getting enough, haha..."

In truth, there was no such thing.

An Muxin meant to disgust An Ge purposefully.

After leaving An Ge feeling sick, An Muxin turned and got into the car sent by the bodyguard to pick her up.

"Miss, President Huo already knows you changed the flight. If he finds out you harassed his wife, won’t it cause trouble?"

An Muxin, full of confidence, replied, "It won’t. He wouldn’t dare lose his temper over this face of mine that so resembles Qin Xiaoqi."

...

In fact, An Muxin’s provocation didn’t impact An Ge much.

Once An Muxin’s car departed, An Ge turned to go upstairs.

Upon returning home, she didn’t overthink it, planning to go to bed after taking a bath.

However, unexpectedly, Huo Shaoyan came knocking.

Seemingly having been drinking somewhere, his whole body reeked of alcohol. As soon as he entered, he pressed An Ge against the door and kissed her fiercely.

At the same time, his hands moved restlessly, boldly and defiantly stirring her fragile and sensitive nerves.
