Chapter 19: Chapter 19 I need prenatal check-up~

The man’s words were sharp and harsh, extremely unpleasant.

But An Ge was never one to turn down money.

Being verbally attacked by the man did not bother her at all.

She nodded gently and obediently, saying, "Well... I have a small request."

The man’s attitude was dreadful, "Speak!"

"Could you pay an advance?"

Huo Shaoyan refused without a second thought, "In your dreams."

An Ge pursed her lips, unwilling to give up, and said,

"I... I’m pregnant, and I need prenatal check-ups. How can I do that without money?"

Upon hearing this, the man sneered coldly and said,

"You’re just pregnant, not a cripple. Can’t you make money with your own hands and feet?"

An Ge puffed up her pink cheeks and muttered softly,

"But it’s really hard for a pregnant woman to find a job..." Not to mention, she had spent time in prison.

As she spoke, she even dared to tug at his sleeve, looking utterly ingratiating.

Huo Shaoyan was extremely disgusted as he pried her hand off, but the words of refusal stuck in his throat when those watery peach blossom eyes met his.

His Adam’s apple moved unconsciously, and he said irritably,

"I’ll give you five thousand yuan a month as pocket money. But it’s not for free. Throughout the duration of the agreement, not only must you be at my beck and call like a maid, but you also need to convincingly play the role of my adopted granddaughter in front of Madam. Otherwise, I’ll skin you alive!"

Huo Shaoyan was about to turn and leave after saying these words when An Ge hurriedly called him back, "Young Master Huo, there’s one more thing..."

"An Xiaoge—"

It was the first time Huo Shaoyan called An Ge by her name, gritting his teeth in frustration, wishing he could strangle her,

"Don’t push your luck, hmm?"

An Ge was so frightened by his fierce demeanor that she shrank back and bowed her head, speaking softly,

"I... I just noticed your cufflink is about to fall off, and I wanted to remind you. If you don’t mind, I could fix it for you?"

"As if you could?"

The man spat out these words and stormed out.

An Ge pouted. Why couldn’t she?

Her skills in needlework were excellent; even double-sided embroidery was no challenge. Simple sewing was something she could do with her eyes closed.

The next day, in the morning.

She had just finished freshening up when Housekeeper Su, who worked for Mrs. Huo, asked her to come over.

After accompanying Mrs. Huo for breakfast, Mrs. Huo asked someone to bring Huo Shaoyan over.

[Huo Shaoyan entered the room with a lawyer following behind him.]

The lawyer greeted Mrs. Huo, handed over the hastily prepared ’adopted granddaughter’ agreement to her, and said,

"Madam, this agreement was drafted in full accordance with your and Ms. An Ge’s wishes. Please review it."

Mrs. Huo skimmed through the content quickly.

She was pleased and told Huo Shaoyan,

"It’s rare for you to show such filial piety. You’ve done well in this matter. From today on, An Ge is your sister, and you are not allowed to bully her behind my back. Do you hear me?"

After speaking, she forcibly placed an all-green jade bracelet on An Ge’s wrist and said,

"Girl, this is a gift from Grandma. When I have time to go to Huangjue Temple for incense and prayers, I’ll have the abbot choose an auspicious day and then host a ceremony to formally recognize you."

As she said this, she glanced at Huo Shaoyan,

"Didn’t I tell you to prepare a present too? Where is it? What are those eyes, what attitude is that? An Ge risked her life to save yours; you must treat her well, do you understand?"

Huo Shaoyan restrained his anger and pulled a bank card from his pocket, shoving it into An Ge’s hand,

"Take it or leave it!"

An Ge didn’t dare to accept it. She was about to refuse when Mrs. Huo pushed the card back into her pocket and said,

"Girl, he’s just got that temper. Don’t be afraid of him. Now that he has given you a gift, you should call him brother as a return courtesy."

Upon hearing this, An Ge received a cold stare from Huo Shaoyan.

She bowed her head and stammered,

"...Bro... Brother."

Huo Shaoyan was so irritated by her calling him brother that he almost suffered a heart attack.

For some reason, he felt extremely nauseated.

He grabbed An Ge by the wrist, pulling her in front of him, and his Phoenix Eyes looked down at her coldly,

"Listen clearly, I’m not like the old lady who mistakes strangers for family. If you dare call me brother again, I’ll cut out your tongue!"
