Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Kiss Her

At this moment, An Ge had just finished giving Huo Chenghuan a bath and drying his hair.

Taking care of a child was physically demanding. After giving birth five years ago, her health had deteriorated significantly, making even minor tasks somewhat exhausting.

She leaned against the sofa behind her to catch her breath for a moment before she said, "Give me five minutes."

"Okay."

After ending the call with Huo Shaoyan, An Ge told Huo Chenghuan, "Read your picture book for a while by yourself, don’t run around, don’t bother Brother Qian, and you’re definitely not allowed to insist on sleeping in the same bed as him, got it?"

Huo Chenghuan blinked her big, bright eyes and agreed readily, "Okay, Mommy."

Though she said that, as soon as An Ge’s footsteps echoed down the stairs, Huo Chenghuan dashed into Huo Shiqian’s room, "Brother Qian, Brother Qian..."

Huh, why isn’t Brother Qian in the room?

Huo Chenghuan wondered, then heard the sound of splashing water from the bathroom.

Ah, so Brother Qian was taking a bath in the bathroom.

Huo Chenghuan turned on her heel and headed toward the bathroom.

"Brother Qian, you better come out, if you don’t, I’m coming in..."

Huo Shiqian: "..."

A minute later, Huo Shiqian emerged from the bathroom fully dressed.

He was actually five years older than Huo Chenghuan, but due to his congenital deficiencies and prolonged abuse, he was only a tiny bit taller than Huo Chenghuan.

However, the aura he exuded was extraordinarily composed.

He was very patient with Huo Chenghuan, "Huanhuan, what’s the matter?"

When he sat down on the sofa, Huo Chenghuan climbed up next to him, blinked her large grape-like eyes, and said, "Mommy just went downstairs to see Huo Dazha. I think she’s about to make a move against Huo Dazha. But, Brother Shang said if he leaves Huo Dazha, Huo Dazha would be sad, and he hasn’t decided yet to abandon Huo Dazha to be with us. Brother Qian, if Brother Shang chooses Huo Dazha and doesn’t come with us, what should we do? Mommy would be sad. Do you have any ideas?"

During the day, the two little ones had a frank talk with Huo Huaisang at kindergarten. Although Huo Huaisang was delighted to reunite with them, he was a particularly independent and filial child, so he had not yet figured out whether to choose to be with his mother or his father.

Huo Shiqian, being five years older than Huo Huaisang and Huo Chenghuan, was more mature in his thinking.

Therefore, he asked Huo Chenghuan, "What about you? Do you want your dad, your mom, or both?"

Huo Chenghuan wrinkled her brow, clearly struggling with the question. Her brows almost knitted into tiny caterpillars.

It took her quite a while before she pouted and said, "Honestly, I want both Mommy and that stinky Dad. Princess Xixi always laughs at me for not having a daddy. Sometimes she goes too far and even calls me a wild child. Huanhuan doesn’t want to be a child without a daddy."

Saying this, she sighed, "But Huo Dazha is too mean. He’s done so many things to hurt Mommy. Mommy will never forgive him in this lifetime, so... it’s really hard for me to choose."

Huo Shiqian thought for a moment after she finished speaking and said, "Everyone makes mistakes. If Uncle Huo sincerely repents and makes amends to earn Mommy’s forgiveness, I think having the family together would be the best outcome."

Hearing this, Huo Chenghuan’s eyes lit up.

She rested her little head on Huo Shiqian’s lap and spoke in a soft, gentle tone, "Brother Qian, do you really think so?"

Huo Shiqian hummed in response, then said with an unreadable expression, "You still have the chance to reunite, and you should try your best." Unlike him, he no longer had the chance to try.

Huo Chenghuan was somewhat happy, "So, what should we do?"

Huo Shiqian said, "Leave it to time, time is the best answer." Pausing for a moment, "If you want to do something about it, create more opportunities for Mommy and Uncle Huo to interact. Let time provide the answer to Mommy. I believe she will make the best decision for herself."

Huo Chenghuan responded with a slightly confused "Oh," then curiously asked, "Brother Qian, do you miss your mommy and daddy?"

Huo Shiqian fell silent.

He chose silence, but that did not mean he had no answer. He not only didn’t miss them, he also detested them immensely!

...

[As An Ge walked out the gate of Fusheng Residence,] Huo Shaoyan stubbed out his cigarette and approached her.

When An Ge saw him walking toward her, she stopped in her tracks.

The night wind was a bit strong, lifting the hem of her dress and her long, inky hair.

In the shifting shadows cast by the lights, she exuded a dark yet mesmerizing power.

As Huo Shaoyan came closer, she smiled and said, "President Huo, you seem to look at me with such deep affection nowadays, like the sea."

Today, Huo Shaoyan wore a formal outfit for a trip to the Imperial City to break off an engagement.

A classic black suit and trousers, a white shirt, and a matching dark striped tie with not a hint of wrinkle from the collar to the trouser crease; he looked much more reserved and dignified than he did five years ago, and even more breathtakingly handsome.

Such charisma radiated from his bones, something no young woman could resist, even for someone who had hurt her so profoundly.

Compared to his innate harshness towards her in the past, his current lowered demeanor stirred minor ripples in her heart.

Moreover, as he leaned in, grasping her chin with his fingers, his thin lips seemed so near as if he might kiss her the next moment.

Yet he just looked at her deeply with his Phoenix Eyes, saying, "Whatever you want, and whatever you want me to do for you, I can agree to it."

Then his lips moved to her ear, voice hoarse, "But I have only one condition, come back to my side?"

An Ge chuckled a little, then within seconds, the smile faded completely from her lips.

She took a step back, pointed a finger at Huo Shaoyan’s chest, and said casually, "But, President Huo, I only want to play with you."

Huo Shaoyan’s brows furrowed, and his face turned so dark it seemed like it could drip water.

An Ge laughed again, this time with an audible chuckle, "Just like when President Huo wanted to play with me back then. I’d like to try playing with President Huo myself."

With that, she stood on her tiptoes to lean close to his ear, deliberately blowing a soft, warm breath at the sensitive part of his ear, "President Huo, want to play? If not, I’ll be on my way."

As she finished speaking and attempted to leave, her wrist was seized firmly by Huo Shaoyan.

A hint of triumph flashed in An Ge’s eyes, and her smile deepened.

Pulled in front of him by the man, she raised her head to meet his gaze, asking, "So, play or not?"

Huo Shaoyan looked down at her rosy lips, her lips were small yet full, the type that men favored most—captivating.

Breathing heavily, he held her waist with both hands, gazing deeply at her for a long while before saying in a husky voice, "So, is this why you wanted to see me, just to tell me this?"

An Ge curled her lips, blew warm breath on his cheek, her tone as lazy as a cat’s, "Of course not. I asked you here to take the cord blood from my child from back then. Some things need to be resolved, or else they weigh on my heart and make me uneasy."

As she spoke, An Ge called for Nanny Lin.

Holding a small specially-made cooler, Nanny Lin approached.

An Ge took the cooler from Nanny Lin and handed it to Huo Shaoyan, saying, "I can’t deny that I really hate you all. Hence, it would be too kind if I alone bore the pain. It’s only fair if you suffer as I did, constantly tormented day and night."

Dark, intense emotions rolled in Huo Shaoyan’s eyes, his heart twisting violently.

He said nothing but took the small cooler.

Seeing his seemingly pained expression, An Ge suddenly burst into laughter, "President Huo, there’s a long road ahead, don’t look so down, we’re just getting started."

After saying that, An Ge left.

Watching her turn and walk away, leaving quite a distance between them, [Huo Shaoyan finally spoke up,] "I’ve said before, you can exact any revenge you want on me, but now that you’re back, I won’t let you escape my grasp."

His tone was assertive and domineering.

An Ge halted her steps for a moment, then turned around.

Separated by a distance, lit by layers of lights, also like the barriers of mountains and rivers, her voice was so cold, "President Huo, if you dare, make me fall in love with you and stay with you willingly. Otherwise, stop boasting, because if my heart is dead to you, nothing will keep me here."
