Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Bewitchment

Unfortunately, when she came out of the fitting room in her wedding dress, Huo Shaoyan, who was supposed to be waiting for her on the sofa, was nowhere to be found.

An Ge didn’t seem to be bothered by it.

She looked at herself in the wide floor-length mirror, rarely taking such a serious look at herself. Previously, she thought An Muxin was very beautiful. However, when she saw herself in the mirror, she felt that An Muxin’s beauty paled in comparison.

An Muxin’s beauty was only skin deep, merely superficial. As for her, every inch of skin and bone exuded an alluring beauty, and even her aura was unparalleled.

An Ge suddenly understood why Huo Shaoyan didn’t love her but was unwilling to let her go. He probably couldn’t find anyone as uniquely stunning as a substitute for his Moon of White Snow.

Thinking about how she had always just been a substitute for the white moonlight in a man’s heart, An Ge’s eyes darkened.

She withdrew her gaze from the mirror and said to the shop owner and staff attending to her, "Let’s take it off."

The shop owner, noticing her lack of enthusiasm, quickly asked, "Mrs. Huo, if you’re not satisfied with the wedding dress, we can always make modifications according to your requests..."

An Ge said flatly, "No. The wedding dress is fine. No need for adjustments."

The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, "President Huo seemed to have stepped out to answer a call. Would you like to wait until he returns to take it off?"

Just as An Ge was about to decline, a familiar voice came from not far away, "I’ve taken a liking to that wedding dress."

At that moment, An Ge had her back to the person speaking. She turned around as soon as the words landed.

When her eyes met An Muxin’s, a frown creased her brows.

An Muxin hadn’t expected that it would be An Ge trying on the wedding dress, and seeing how beautifully she wore it, made An Muxin uneasy.

Her frown deepened beyond An Ge’s, and with a few steps, she was before An Ge, saying arrogantly, "A woman like you deserves to try on such a beautiful wedding dress?"

An Ge raised an eyebrow and retorted, "If someone like me doesn’t deserve it, then does a mistress like you trying to interfere in a marriage deserve it?"

These words made An Muxin’s eyes flash with anger. But restrained by the setting, she dared not be too brazen.

However, Fu Rou, who arrived upon hearing the commotion, gave her the confidence to act up.

Fu Rou asked, "What’s going on?"

An Muxin, playing the victim, said, "Aunt Fu, An Ge is stealing my wedding dress."

Upon hearing this, Fu Rou turned her gaze to An Ge, who was dressed in the wedding gown. Catching the clear and flickering peach-blossom eyes of An Ge, her expression turned icy and she harshly questioned An Ge, "I thought you were arrogant before, but now you’re so insolent. Are you even snatching from others?"

An Ge glanced at her and said, "Snatching? President Huo spent a fortune to have this custom-made million-dollar wedding dress tailored for me. Why would I need to snatch it?"

These words left both Fu Rou and An Muxin shocked.

An Muxin found it even more unbelievable, "What did you say? You said this is the wedding dress your brother gave you?"

An Ge’s lips curved slightly, with a hint of a smile but with an edge, "He even married me. What is giving me a wedding dress compared to that?"

An Muxin cut in, "You—"

Fu Rou, having calmed down, coldly mocked An Ge at this moment, "An Ge, what are you so proud of? A wedding dress you can buy with money is nothing but a word to Ah Yan. A trivial expense can’t equate to sincere feelings, can it?

If he truly cherished you, he would have made you an outfit himself every year like he did for Qin Xiaoqi. Even when she was missing for years, he’d still make them. Two years ago, on her eighteenth birthday, he even personally designed a wedding dress for her. That dress is hidden in the attic of Fengqiao Villa, and you probably haven’t had a chance to see it, have you?"

An Ge listened calmly to Fu Rou’s words and then said lightly, "So what?"

Fu Rou didn’t expect An Ge to be so calm. Her own emotions got a bit worked up, and she cried out, "An Ge, a person should have self-awareness. With your current frail body, you won’t last long with Ah Yan. His interest in you is merely temporary. When he tires of you, he will surely cast you aside. No men would keep a woman who can no longer bear children around..."

An Ge coldly cut her off, "Lady Fu, there’s no need for you to tell me these things. Whether he’s tired of me or not isn’t for you to meddle in. I’ve never seen a mother-in-law like you constantly trying to fit a woman into your son’s bed. Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock for that?"

Fu Rou protested, "You—"

Ignoring them further, An Ge told the shop owner, who wore a complex expression, "I want to change."

With that, she turned to head toward the changing room.

But An Muxin maliciously stepped on the train of An Ge’s wedding dress at this moment.

An Ge’s steps were large. Because of this action, had it not been for the shop owner’s quick reaction to support her, she would have undoubtedly fallen backward.

An Ge, in shock, instinctively placed a hand on her pregnant belly. Her heart was pounding fiercely, and after a few seconds of calming down on the spot, she turned around.

An Muxin lifted her chin provocatively at her and said, "What are you glaring at? It was unintentional, just an accident!"

In no time, An Ge stepped forward to her, and as soon as An Muxin’s words fell, she raised a hand and slapped her without hesitation.

The slap was merciless, leaving everyone stunned.

An Muxin was slapped so hard her face turned sideways in an instant, and she exploded, "You dare hit me, you slut who sleeps around with numerous men? You’re insane!"

An Ge slapped her again, "Slut this, slut that. Did your parents not teach you how to be a decent person? Or is that the kind of family tradition in the Imperial Capital An Family?"

An Muxin, her eyes reddened from the slap, turned to Fu Rou for help, "Aunt Fu, will you keep letting her treat me this way?"

Of course, Fu Rou wouldn’t just stand by, it was just that she was too shocked to react initially. She almost instinctively turned to strike An Ge soon after An Muxin’s words fell.

But An Ge seized her wrist. Though she was thin, she had considerable strength when furious.

Fu Rou’s wrist throbbed in pain from her grip, and she furiously shouted, "You’ve reached your end! Let go of me!"

It was at this moment that An Muxin took the chance to attack An Ge.

She aimed a vicious slap at An Ge’s face.

Right at the critical second, Huo Shaoyan strode over after finishing his call.

His face was grim, "What’s all this commotion?"

Seeing him, An Muxin cried and threw herself into his arms, sobbing pitifully, "Brother, sister has gone mad! She even laid hands on Auntie Fu. Look at my face, she hit me, sobbing~"

An Muxin cried like a weeping beauty, with crystal clear tears streaming down her face, adding to the clear slap marks on her cheeks. She looked extremely pitiful.

Huo Shaoyan gazed at her, and his Phoenix Eyes darkened intensely. He raised his eyes and looked over at An Ge, his gaze sharp.

An Ge felt a rusty knife slide painfully over her heart. She pulled her gaze away from his face and said in a cold voice, "Yes, I did slap her."

Huo Shaoyan’s adam’s apple moved visibly, and his voice was low as he asked, "Why?"

An Ge’s eyes fell on his face again, and she approached him a few steps. Her gaze locked onto his cold, dark eyes, her voice equally cold, "Because if I didn’t slap her, she would slap me."
