Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Coax Her, Please Her

An Ge’s voice choked with emotion, "If you have any grievances, come at me. Let him go, and let’s calm down and have a good talk, okay?"

She took a deep breath, smiled through her tears, then replaced it with a cold expression, her gaze icy as she looked at Huo Shaoyan, "Why do you have to treat us like this? What did I do wrong? What crime did Xiao Ye commit? When you were cold and sarcastic to me, it was Xiao Ye who extended a helping hand. He was the first person to show me kindness after I got out of prison. Why do you have to treat him like this? Huo Shaoyan, haven’t I done nothing to wrong you? Haven’t I been good to you? Ever since we signed the agreement, you haven’t fulfilled a single promise you made to me."

Once a woman’s emotions spiraled out of control, they became a torrent of grievances that couldn’t be contained. The more An Ge spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more aggrieved she felt, the angrier she became. Her words continued:

"From the very beginning, you said you would provide a protective shield for me and my mother, but the result? When my mom was critically ill, I begged you on my knees, and you still treated me with cruelty. You said you’d shield me personally? And what was the outcome? Not only did you encourage your mother and your women to disgust me, but you also personally forced me to have an abortion. Why are you so vicious to the woman who saved your life at the risk of her own? Huo Shaoyan, is your heart made of stone? The first time, a hundred milliliters of blood, the second time, two hundred, the third time, three hundred... Can’t all this blood, which is making me thinner every day, earn even a shred of your pity? Huo Shaoyan, can you not see that I’m so skinny now that I’m almost just bones? Even if your conscience doesn’t hurt, is there a hint of guilt? If there is, please don’t hurt my friend, okay?"

Her last sentence was almost carried away by the northwest wind and then melted into the deep night, a sorrow so profound it moved the heart.

Huo Shaoyan’s entire chest resonated with her words and the grievances she emitted. For a long while, he said nothing.

Of course, his foot remained firmly planted on Xiao Ye’s back without moving an inch.

An Ge was in agony, wiping away tears while using the tissue in her hand to tend to the blood on Xiao Ye’s face. Xiao Ye felt as if his bones were about to fall apart, the pain spreading through every part of him he moved. But he smiled at An Ge, revealing his tiger teeth weakly, "Damn it, stop crying, it’s breaking my heart!"

Oppression, anger, grievance, sorrow, pain... all entangled An Ge’s senses. The mist in her eyes gradually retreated, replaced by a sharpness and fierceness that Xiao Ye had never seen before. In a matter of seconds, her eyes were bloodshot, and even her irises turned red!

Xiao Ye thought he was seeing things. Rubbing his eyes quickly for a clearer view, he heard the sound of a man’s muffled groan, tinged with pain, by his ear.

Then, Huo Shaoyan was sent stumbling backward by a kick from the extremely petite woman, and almost at the same moment, she fainted the next second.

An Ge woke up on the way to the hospital with Huo Shaoyan. It was as if she had awakened suddenly from a nightmare, struggling to sit up the moment she opened her eyes.

Upon seeing her surroundings clearly, she pushed away Huo Shaoyan, who was holding her, her voice cold, "I’m fine. Please take me back to Yu Garden."

Huo Shaoyan’s throat felt as though it were being choked, his breathing rapid and heavy. His brows furrowed tightly, his voice cold and domineering, "You fainted. You need to go to the hospital."

An Ge turned her head to look at him, the red veins in her eyes were particularly dense, "I already said, I’m fine. Please take me back to Yu Garden."

Huo Shaoyan: "An Ge, there’s no good outcome from making trouble with me..."

An Ge interrupted him coldly, "Even when I was obedient to you, it was the same outcome. Huo Shaoyan, you’ve already forced my ’child’ to death. I’m not even afraid of dying now, so I’m not afraid of you!"

Cold and sharp, this was An Ge’s most genuine self. Huo Shaoyan thought to himself as he looked at her, deeply troubled, "Grow your abilities with me, then? Fine, I’ll let you have your way."

After he spoke, he instructed Qin Lang, who was driving, "Take her back to Yu Garden."

An Ge was confined within Yu Garden, unable to even step outside the door. For the next half a month, all she could do was stand by the glass window of the bedroom and look down upon the bustling Jingcheng.

In addition to being confined, all her social communication devices were confiscated by Huo Shaoyan. Even before Sister Li, who came to cook for her, entered each time, her mobile phone was confiscated by the bodyguard.

Until the arrival of the New Year’s Eve in the new year, only then did Huo Shaoyan mercifully take her out. She knew this short outing was temporary. She felt unprecedented confusion about the future. During this half a month, she had another 100 milliliters of blood drawn. As the fetus grew, her body became even weaker.

She wasn’t happy about being taken out to see the dazzling fireworks. Her whole demeanor remained cold, indifferent, with an aura that seemed icy, yet carried with it an indescribable sorrow. She didn’t argue or fight with Huo Shaoyan either. Whether he wanted to hold her or kiss her, she didn’t resist, though she also wouldn’t cooperate.

After watching a grand firework display by the river, Huo Shaoyan gave her a New Year’s gift—a longevity lock necklace that An Ge had been longing for.

An entire night of impassive coldness on her face became significantly more lively because of the longevity lock pendant. Light appeared in her eyes, and although it was fleeting, Huo Shaoyan was certain that when she put on the longevity lock pendant, she was happy.

He tried to break the stalemate between them, leaning down to kiss her forehead and said, "As long as you say you were wrong, I’ll restore your freedom."

An Ge pulled the red scarf around her neck up to cover her nose, looking deeply at the vast river, and after a long while, she murmured, "It doesn’t matter. Do whatever you want. I did nothing wrong, so I won’t apologize."

After she spoke, she rubbed her frozen hands, her voice still cold, "It’s quite cold. Can we go back now?"

Her body was too weak then, afraid that too much exposure to the cold wind would make her sick with a fever. Once she got sick, the men would call a doctor, and the doctors were sharp, easily uncovering the secret that her child was still alive.

Huo Shaoyan didn’t know her thoughts. Although her unwillingness to admit her mistake annoyed him, he still mercifully took her back to the car.

The car had ample heating, and An Ge’s frozen body quickly warmed up. She took off the scarf around her neck, revealing her emaciated face, her chin so sharp.

During this episode of sulking with her, Huo Shaoyan hadn’t visited her, so it struck him how drastically her appearance had altered, almost unrecognizable.

Swallowing continued before he spoke, "How did you get so skinny?"

An Ge withdrew her gaze from outside the car window, turning her head to look steadily into Huo Shaoyan’s eyes before suddenly laughing, "What do you think, President Huo?" She paused, her voice low and calm, "Being confined, treated as a living blood bank. How strong would I have to be to not lose weight?"

She was now weary of clashing with Huo Shaoyan; she only wanted to watch quietly, then seize the right moment to escape successfully with her pregnant belly.
