Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 219: Deep Affection,

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Deep Affection,

Lu Huai’an curled his lips, speaking with a distinct air of hostility, "I don’t quite understand what President Huo means."

Huo Shaoyan was about to light a cigarette when his peripheral vision caught sight of Huo Chenghuan sleeping on the couch, and he held back.

He put down the cigarette box and lifted his gaze to look at Lu Huai’an, delivering a cold verdict, "She is the woman I want, and she can only be my woman. Most of the Lu Family, except for you, hold important positions in the political scene. It’s not hard to bring down your Lu Family. So, Lu Huai’an, prepare well for your wedding with the Gu family’s daughter and don’t bring disaster upon yourself by implicating the innocent."

As Huo Shaoyan spoke, his hand landed on An Ge’s leg, and he audaciously attempted to edge it inside her skirt.

An Ge’s face immediately flushed red up to her ears, her eyes glaring at him in warning.

Huo Shaoyan turned back, meeting her gaze, and his fingers provocatively advanced an inch further, shamelessly saying,

"Mrs. Huo, it was you who made a high-profile return to the country and actively pursued me. Whether you’re juggling two or three relationships, it really infuriates me. You should see the extent of my sincerity in trying to please you. Don’t be so devoid of a bottom line. Because when it comes to crossing that line, I, Huo Shaoyan, have never lost. Try it, see how ruthless I can be if you’re ambiguous with another man while playing with me."

An Ge forcibly blocked his hand beneath the table, which was causing havoc, took a deep breath, and calmed her somewhat disturbed breathing, saying,

"I am friends with Chairman Lu, it’s not what you think."

Upon hearing her say this, Huo Shaoyan’s strained expression finally eased a bit.

He then took a wet wipe from the dining table, meticulously wiping his long, elegant fingers.

He wiped them very slowly, as if deliberately showing someone, and then shamelessly said,

"Mrs. Huo, you’ve gotten even more alluring than before, I like it very much. No wonder you attract so many men’s attention."

Huo Shaoyan said these brazenly ambiguous words in front of Lu Huai’an, with Huo Chenghuan still asleep on the couch, making An Ge angry and annoyed yet unable to confront him.

She took another deep breath, trying to maintain her composure, turned her head toward Huo Shaoyan, and said,

"Weren’t you going to show us some hospitality? Then demonstrate your skills in hosting us properly, don’t provoke me into turning against you."

Seeing her anger, Huo Shaoyan relented and said, "Alright."

After that, Huo Shaoyan called the manager of the restaurant over, gave some instructions, and gradually added numerous local specialty dishes.

As the meal was nearing its end, Lu Huai’an casually asked, "President Huo, how’s your investigation on the car accident going?"

Huo Shaoyan lifted his eyes to glance at him, responded without answering, "I also wanted to ask you, how come you were there as well?"

Lu Huai’an chuckled softly, saying,

"Of course, I specifically went to the hospital to pick up An An and her mother. I just happened to run into them having a car accident."

He paused, pointedly adding,

"Among the crowd at the accident scene, I saw An Muxin’s personal bodyguard, Gu Changfeng. President Huo, don’t you think it’s worth investigating further?"

On the way here, Huo Shaoyan had already received the police’s conclusion regarding the car accident.

The driver was drunk driving, and the van’s brakes failed.

The driver’s background was also clear—a regular freight driver with a large family to support, six or seven mouths to feed depending on him, and significant financial pressure on the family.

After relating the findings from the traffic police, Huo Shaoyan said to Lu Huai’an,

"If you suspect that An Muxin instructed her bodyguard to do it, then produce solid evidence instead of indulging in baseless speculation—it serves no purpose."

Lu Huai’an curled his lips with a mocking smile and said,

"President Huo, I’m merely suspicious. Are you really defending An Muxin that strongly? If it turns out she did indeed orchestrate it, would you turn against me right now and flip my dining table?"

This statement was particularly provocative, driving Huo Shaoyan to a state of intolerance towards him.

Huo Shaoyan almost stood up right after Lu Huai’an finished speaking, his presence fierce, "Lu Huai’an, stop trying to sow discord..."

Lu Huai’an also stood up, interrupting him,

"Huo Shaoyan, does your relationship with An Ge still need me to create discord? How ugly was your fallout five years ago? There’s no mending it. I merely can’t bear to see you allowing others to bully her, which is why I’m saying more."

"An Muxin, whom you’re so earnestly protecting, isn’t as pure as you think. She’s just a she-devil with a face strikingly similar to Qin Xiaoqi, vile to the core."

At this point, Lu Huai’an’s words became increasingly harsh, as he continued speaking,

"If it weren’t for your indulgence back then, An Muxin wouldn’t have arrogantly gone to provoke her. Your An Muxin’s insults and beatings—do you think they only resulted in premature birth so simply?"

"Not only was it a premature birth, not only was it a separation of mother and child, but after barely escaping a fire alive, she laid paralyzed in a hospital bed for two full years."

"How dare you now speak of wanting her? If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to face her, much less meet her eyes. I’d rather detour away or swallow two bullets myself, or I couldn’t bear facing her."

Lu Huai’an left this cutting remark and turned his eyes to An Ge, who was still eating with relish, saying,

"How can you eat with such relish alongside this piece of trash? Aren’t you afraid of feeling sick to your stomach?"

An Ge took a napkin and wiped her mouth, nodding her chin at him with a nod, saying,

"Aren’t you afraid of not leaving Jingcheng alive? The crap you’re spouting, irrelevant as it may be, is ostensibly on my behalf. But my dear Chairman Lu, I have no need for you to stand up for me in the slightest."

She paused,

"Because I simply don’t care. If I ever felt wronged or wanted to seek revenge on anyone, I could do it myself; I don’t need to use President Huo’s hands."

Having said this, she headed toward the couch.

Just as she leaned over to pick up the sleeping Huo Chenghuan, a pair of arms scooped her up with ease before she could.

An Ge squinted and said, "Huo Shaoyan, put my daughter down."

This was the first time since An Ge’s return to the country that she showed her sharpness toward Huo Shaoyan without restraint.

Even though it was just a few simple words spoken in a calm tone, Huo Shaoyan still strongly felt the deep resentment she harbored toward him.

The resentment was so intense that she couldn’t tolerate him touching the people and things she cared about.

Huo Shaoyan’s face turned dark, his brows furrowed deeply, and after a while, he said,

"You have an injured arm, you can’t carry her..."

An Ge realized the visible loss of control in her emotions earlier. She restrained herself somewhat, saying,

"Lu Huai’an is her godfather, so it’s not up to you to hug her."

Huo Shaoyan’s throat bobbed up and down, as he wanted to say something, but seemingly lacked any standing to do so.

At this time, Lu Huai’an had already managed to take Huo Chenghuan out of Huo Shaoyan’s arms.

Afterward, An Ge softly spoke to Lu Huai’an,

"Take Huanhuan back to Fusheng Residence first. Ah Qian was quite looking forward to seeing you when he heard you came to Jingcheng."

Lu Huai’an acknowledged with a hum, then cast an inscrutable glance at Huo Shaoyan, saying,

"President Huo, aren’t you at all curious why the children she adopted don’t carry her surname or mine, their godfather’s, but inexplicably have the surname Huo?"

Lu Huai’an left after saying this, carrying Huo Chenghuan with him.

Subsequently, Huo Shaoyan lowered his gaze to look at An Ge’s face, so close to him, and lifted her chin, seemingly asking with bitterness,

"Why?"

An Ge replied with utmost calmness,

"Haven’t I explained this to you long ago? My boyfriend’s surname is Huo, and my future plan is to spend the rest of my life with him. Naturally, the children will carry his surname."

At last, Huo Shaoyan could no longer hold back. He gripped her waist tightly and pressed her into the nearby sofa.

He hovered above, while An Ge was below.

His rigid body pressed tightly against hers, and at the same time, his strong thighs parted hers.

Their posture became ambiguous yet perilous.

However, An Ge’s emotions remained undisturbed.

"Who is he? That man with the surname Huo, who exactly is he?"

Huo Shaoyan’s emotions erupted instantly.

Accompanied by his overwhelming anger, there was also an intense desire for An Ge emanating from his body.

An Ge felt his clear contours against her, as well as the rise and fall of his chest due to some emotion.

She raised her hand to caress his face, smiled, and slowly spoke,

"President Huo, the night is short, do you really have to hold on to this question? As a man, you really should keep an open mind. Being too narrow will only suffocate you."

She paused, adding,

"If you really want to know who he is, with your skills, you’ll eventually be able to find out—it’s just a matter of time."

Huo Shaoyan: "You did it on purpose?"

She deliberately irked him, deliberately found a man with the surname Huo to disgust him, maybe even provoke him.

She deliberately presented the truth before him, making him suffer from pain and regret, then used another man with the surname Huo to provoke him.

Her soft blade was truly honed.

An Ge looked at the redness in his eyes and spoke with a gentle chill,

"Yes, I did it on purpose. After enduring so much humiliation and hardship, a comeback naturally requires making some people pay. I know President Huo has lived on the edge since childhood, you’re not afraid of death or pain, and using real violence would mean legal consequences for me. So, it’s best to use a soft blade—enough to cause pain yet letting me walk away unscathed. Why wouldn’t I be glad?"

Huo Shaoyan no longer wished to hear any words from her that he was unwilling to hear.

He nearly captured her lips right after she spoke.

As he kissed her, he threatened, "An Ge, you’ve thoroughly provoked me tonight. You can forget about leaving here unscathed."

Facing his passionate kiss, An Ge not only didn’t avoid it but actively responded.

Her breath quickly became uneven. As the man’s breath trailed down her neck, she finally got a chance to speak.

Her voice was somewhat unstable, almost brokenly panting,

"President Huo, fishing requires bait. By using myself, it’s inevitable we’d end up in bed. But I wonder, at Huo’s current age, is your back still up to the task?"
