Chapter 18: Chapter 18 What I Want, You Can’t Refuse to Give

He closed his eyes tightly, trying to suppress the raging fire within, but the woman’s enchanting, fair form seemed to linger right in front of him.

[Young Master Huo] felt he must have gone mad.

In his fury, he punched the glass door of the bathroom behind him, startling An Ge inside, who let out a sharp scream.

When she emerged from the bathroom fully dressed, her wet hair hanging down, she appeared nervous and on edge.

[The man stood before the floor-to-ceiling window,] his back completely turned to her.

His gaze was fixed on some indistinct point in the distance, so still he seemed to merge with the night outside, profoundly silent.

Perhaps hearing her footsteps, the man quickly turned around.

His Phoenix Eyes were fiercely red, his gaze sharp and thin as it fell on her face. His voice was harsh,

"It seems you’re ready to become the Huo Family’s goddaughter. You’ve never lived in such a nice house, have you? Smart move, holding them in your debt, huh?"

An Ge was so taken aback that she couldn’t utter a single word, feeling even embarrassed.

Young Master Huo continued,

"A shameless woman pregnant before marriage, a convict leveraging Madam Huo’s grace to suddenly become the Huo Family’s goddaughter—it’s a deal where you’ve certainly profited."

An Ge took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Huo, if you have something to say, just say it. Why be so sarcastic?"

The thought of An Baoying telling him that An Ge was nothing but a woman of loose morals disgusted Huo Shaoyan.

Hence, he quickly got to the point and told her,

"Tomorrow, I’ll have the lawyer prepare two agreements for you to sign. One is the agreement for how Madam wants to recognize you as a goddaughter, which will be openly signed. The second one is to override the first agreement.

That is, no matter what form of gifts Madam promises you, whether material or otherwise, you won’t get a single word of it. Anything you get from Madam, even a piece of string, must be handed over to me. The second agreement is private and must not be disclosed to Madam."

An Ge was not surprised by Huo Shaoyan’s arrangement.

This man loathed her from the beginning, so how could he let her gain even the smallest advantage from the Huo Family?

It was already lenient that he wasn’t skinning her alive.

"Young Master Huo, I can comply with these conditions. But, what I want, you cannot refuse."

Huo Shaoyan’s Phoenix Eyes gave her a cold glance, "You think you have leverage to negotiate with me?"

An Ge curved her lips into a mocking smile and said,

"I certainly do. In Young Master Huo’s eyes, I’m a nefarious and conniving woman. You impose so many constraints on me. If you don’t satisfy my demand, do you think I will submit to you without a fight? If you don’t agree to my terms, I can turn around and complain to Madam."

Huo Shaoyan: "..."

An Ge continued,

"What I want is simple. First, help me reunite with my mother. Second, after the agreement ends, you need to pay me a one-time compensation. Third, there should be no grounds to force me to terminate the pregnancy.

Fourth, if any accident happens during my blood donation to you, please care for my mother for life, and if my child survives, help me raise them. If Young Master Huo can agree to these four points, from the effective date of the agreement, I will follow your every command!"

An Ge’s conditions were not excessive.

Thus, Huo Shaoyan could not help but give her a long look before, after a few seconds, he said in a cold voice, "How much compensation do you want?"

An Ge lifted her face, still flushed from the steam in the bathroom, thought for a moment, and said,

"Young Master Huo, what do you think your life is worth? I’m risking my life to save yours, this amount... is not unreasonable, is it?"

An Ge held up her hand to show him five fingers.

She meant five hundred thousand.

She calculated that five hundred thousand would be enough to live with her mother and child in a small city.

"Five million?"

An Ge visibly shook; she looked at him in surprise, "Uh...?"

"Fifty million?"

An Ge was shocked beyond words!

"You indeed are a shameless creature. No more than ten million."

Huo Shaoyan’s expression was grim; he no longer cared to exchange another unnecessary word with An Ge,

"If during the entire term of the agreement you violate the rules or break the agreement early, you’ll get nothing!"
