Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Deep Desire

An Ge took a deep breath as she spoke, her tone softening, and added, "I’ll wait for you downstairs."

An Ge waited for about five minutes downstairs before Huo Shaoyan appeared. The weather was lovely today, with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze giving a hint of spring’s warmth and blossoming flowers.

An Ge watched the man who quickly approached her and thought for a moment before roughly explaining what happened with Xiao Ye. She said, "I was just comforting him, just like when I’m hurt and hope someone would comfort me."

"You hurt? You say that as if I’ve done something to you."

An Ge looked into his eyes and said, "President Huo, some pains are invisible, like how many people with depression commit suicide every year, but before they do, most of them don’t show it."

She paused, then changed the subject, "I feel like I’ve been quite depressed lately."

Huo Shaoyan lit a cigarette, taking a drag and exhaling a cloud of smoke as he sarcastically remarked, "So, are you hinting that you’re going to kill yourself too?"

"No. President Huo, you know I cherish life more than anyone. I’ve lost my mom, lost the child in my womb, and lost my uncle... Even so, in such circumstances, I still want to live well. You should be able to see that."

Huo Shaoyan flicked off the ash and said, "Then what do you mean by saying all this?"

"President Huo, everyone experiences depression at times. I told you I’ve been feeling depressed because I hope you could give me some mental support. Even if you can’t, at least give me some respect and the freedom to make friends. Otherwise, if I’m driven mad and do something irrevocable, that would be your loss."

Huo Shaoyan’s purpose in coming was to placate her. Now that the misunderstanding with Xiao Ye was cleared up, he was not one to cling to the issue unreasonably. Besides, he felt guilty for forcing her to abort the baby.

Thinking of this, Huo Shaoyan’s expression softened a bit, and he asked, "I want to ask you, do you still want to live well with me?"

An Ge pondered his underlying intent in asking this. She deflected with ease, saying, "That depends on President Huo’s intentions. Whether I want to or not is not important."

Huo Shaoyan was frustrated, grinding his teeth, "Not important? Then why am I asking you?"

An Ge couldn’t quite read him, frowning slightly, "President Huo, if you cared about my feelings, you wouldn’t have spent daylight hours rolling with An Muxin..."

"I’m not what you think with her!"

Huo Shaoyan felt a bit irritable. He thought An Ge’s non-response showed she had guilty intentions.

"So, you don’t want to be with me; you want to divorce me, right?"

The words were at the tip of An Ge’s tongue, but she swallowed them back. Right now, the only advantageous move seemed to be placating Huo Shaoyan. So, she said, "No."

Huo Shaoyan clearly didn’t believe her, "No? You haven’t conspired against me with the old lady from the old house?"

An Ge declared with certainty, "No."

To make him believe her, she sincerely added, "Huo Shaoyan, whether you believe it or not, I need to tell you that I probably like you, maybe even love you. Otherwise, why would I sulk when you have ambiguous affairs with other women? I know you see me as a substitute; even my jealousy has to be swallowed down. I don’t dare show it in front of you. I’ve really had enough of living so cautiously. If you feel guilty towards me at all, just treat me a little better. If you treat me better, I wouldn’t feel so miserable inside."

By the end, her eyes were even wet, and she truly didn’t seem to be putting on an act.

Huo Shaoyan hadn’t expected her to open up to him like this. Considering how fragile their relationship had been, almost like it could shatter with a touch, it surprised him that she would say she liked him, possibly even loved him.

True or not, An Ge’s confession consoled Huo Shaoyan at that moment.

When An Ge saw him extinguish the glowing cigarette butt, his facial contours had softened. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping the charm of her confession would hold him for a while.

After an internal uproar calmed, Huo Shaoyan looked down at An Ge’s eyes, his voice gruff and asked, "You like me, or maybe even love me?"

An Ge raised her head, her eyes filled with genuine emotion, misty and deep. She looked at him and said, "Yes. So, could you treat me a bit better? After all, with us being a couple, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to ask you to be a little nicer to me, would it?"

Huo Shaoyan’s throat moved before he replied, "Not unreasonable."

With that, he opened the car door, placed his hands on her shoulders, and nudged her towards the passenger seat.

Before getting in, An Ge hesitated for a few seconds and turned to look at him. The motion was swift because he was so close to her, and unexpectedly, her lips brushed against his chin.

Huo Shaoyan was a bit taken aback, his Phoenix Eyes instantly darkening several shades.

In his eyes, An Ge saw a deep desire, causing her brows to imperceptibly furrow, then asked in a composed manner, "Where are you taking me?"

Before she could finish, the man cupped her face and kissed her lips.

Initially, An Ge turned her head away, and thus Huo Shaoyan’s kiss landed on her fair neck. He aimed to stir her, so the kiss wasn’t just a kiss anymore; it involved gentle bites and suckling.

Her ear was her sensitive spot, and when the man’s tongue drew her soft earlobe into his mouth, An Ge felt a shiver travel from her scalp down to her spine, even letting out a soft involuntary sound due to the intensity.

"Mm~"

She had always been shy about kissing or anything more intimate, rarely uttering any noises. Hence, that slight sound of hers caused Huo Shaoyan’s muscles to tense instantly.

He then gripped her chin, pulling away a little distance, his Phoenix Eyes with a dark fire were locked onto her captivating eyes, and in a low captivating voice, he said, "I was going to take you to try on your wedding dress, but... now there’s something more important to do."

An Ge instinctively asked, "More important?"

After she asked, she realized what the man meant by something more important. Without thought, she refused, "No, President Huo, considering the situation now is not right, not to mention my body isn’t fully recovered from the miscarriage..."

Huo Shaoyan’s Phoenix Eyes darkened with a deeper flame. His warm breath caressed her cheek as he kissed her face, then her neck, whispering, "I’ll be careful, I won’t hurt you. I have a private presidential suite at a nearby hotel. Let’s go there, okay?"

An Ge felt a headache growing, trying to push the man leaning on her away to divert his attention, "President Huo, if a woman isn’t willing, such things aren’t pleasurable."

Pausing, she hinted, "I’m still upset about your affair with An Muxin. I can’t convince myself to go along with you."

She traced circles on his abdomen, using a slightly jealous tone, "President Huo, is someone as gorgeous as An Muxin not enough for you, or do you just seek thrills with me?"

Her words, indeed, diverted Huo Shaoyan’s attention. His Phoenix Eyes narrowed, "Jealous?"
