Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 221: Pampering Her

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Pampering Her

An Muxin roared,

"I said no, I don’t agree. You haven’t publicly announced the news about your private agreement to annul the marriage. As long as I cry to my grandfather, he will definitely side with me."

She paused for a moment, then added,

"Moreover, do you still want me to save your son, Huo Huaisang? Your son has the same strange illness as you, and only my blood can extend his life. If you treat me heartlessly, don’t blame me for being ruthless towards your son."

Huo Shaoyan’s throat bobbed, "Are you threatening me?"

An Muxin’s voice turned sharp,

"Yes. I’m threatening you. You treat me heartlessly and unfairly, so how can you expect me to treat you with kindness and affection?"

After An Muxin finished speaking, she scolded her bodyguard, Gu Changfeng,

"Are you dead? My leg is injured, I can’t walk. Aren’t you going to come over and carry me?"

In the evening, An Muxin finally felt that there was no unpleasant odor on her body.

She appeared in a fresh white long dress in the living room of [Fengqiao Villa].

After sitting down, she turned on the phone she retrieved from the trash can and played a recorded conversation.

It was a recording she secretly made when she was kidnapped.

An Muxin: "Who are you? Why are you kidnapping me? Don’t hurt me. If you want money or women, I can give you that, but please don’t touch me..."

Kidnapper: "Little beauty, if you don’t want to be raped by me, then shut your mouth. Someone paid me to humiliate you; if you don’t cooperate, it won’t be just humiliation."

An Muxin: "Someone paid you? Who is she? Is her surname An?"

The kidnapper laughed wildly, "Oh, you do have brains. So who did you offend recently?"

An Muxin: "Is her name An Ge?"

Kidnapper: "You know quite a bit..."

The rest of the dialogue ended with An Muxin’s painful screams.

After calmly playing the recording, An Muxin lifted her gaze to Huo Shaoyan and said,

"Do you plan to settle this privately or publicly? If privately, then please bring that woman, An Ge, in front of me to apologize and pay her respects. If publicly, I’ll report to the police now."

She paused,

"You know, everyone respectfully calls my grandfather ’Commander An.’ If this blows up, you can’t protect An Ge."

...

An Ge received a call from Huo Shaoyan while she was having dinner with Huo Chenghuan and Huo Shiqian.

Huo Chenghuan was a picky eater, refusing to eat carrots and leafy greens, looking at An Ge with resistance.

An Ge frowned, patiently coaxing her, "Huanhuan, you can’t be picky."

Huo Chenghuan pouted,

"But, Mommy, Huanhuan doesn’t like carrots and leafy greens. Huanhuan likes braised pork."

As they spoke, Huo Shiqian placed a piece of braised pork on her plate and transferred the carrots and leafy greens from her bowl to his.

Before An Ge could scold Huo Chenghuan, Huo Shiqian said to An Ge,

"Huanhuan had a spinach juice made by Nanny Lin after her nap. Her vegetable intake is adequate today. Forcing her to eat disliked vegetables can lead to indigestion."

An Ge, always considerate towards the sensible Huo Shiqian, merely said earnestly,

"Ah Qian, you shouldn’t spoil her too much. Spoiling her too much will ruin her temper."

A slight smile appeared on Huo Shiqian’s handsome features, "Having a bad temper isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Being too nice often leads to being taken advantage of."

Huo Shaoyan called at this moment.

An Ge’s phone was on the dining table, and when it vibrated, Huo Chenghuan saw it.

She could read well enough to quickly recognize the caller ID and exclaimed excitedly,

"Mommy, it’s a call from stinky daddy."

An Ge hung up the call without hesitation and told Huo Chenghuan, "Eat your meal properly, don’t get distracted."

As she spoke, Huo Shaoyan called again.

Before An Ge could answer, Huo Chenghuan picked up the call, "Hello?"

On the other end, Huo Shaoyan felt a slight tremor at the voice, then said,

"I...I want to talk to your mom."

Huo Chenghuan pouted,

"But why are you still calling her? Daddy Lu told me that earlier you left Mommy because of a woman named An Muxin. You shouldn’t be so shameless."

The little girl’s voice was puffed with anger yet sounded very...adorable due to its innocence.

Huo Shaoyan couldn’t help but smile, teasing her intentionally,

"Because I want to be your daddy too. I remember you seemed to like me as your uncle, didn’t you? If you let me be your daddy, I can build you a rainbow-colored castle filled with all kinds of plush toys. How about that?"

Huo Chenghuan felt a little tempted but held her ground, "Will there also be ice cream of different colors and flavors?"

"Of course..."

Before Huo Shaoyan could finish, An Ge took the phone and interrupted, "Mr. Huo, is there something you wanted?"

Huo Shaoyan briefly explained the purpose of his call to An Ge, saying,

"So, I want to know if you had any involvement in An Muxin’s kidnapping?"

An Ge nearly laughed in anger.

She bit down on her back teeth, saying, "I could say that my car accident was orchestrated by An Muxin, but do I see you demanding justice for me?"

Huo Shaoyan pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Mrs. Huo, you need evidence to support any claim..."

An Ge sneered, "Huo Shaoyan, stop disgusting me. Who’s your Mrs. Huo? You want to talk evidence? Then where’s hers?"

Huo Shaoyan replied, "She has a recording. When she had a clash with the kidnapper, the kidnapper slipped up and said you ordered him."

An Ge mocked,

"Really? So did you catch the kidnapper? Or is it your incompetence that you can’t catch him, and you plan to charge me based on one lousy recording?"

Huo Shaoyan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm,

"That’s not what I meant. You know, An Muxin has quite a notable background; her grandfather is Commander An. If this gets blown up, it won’t be good for you..."

An Ge coldly interrupted him,

"I have nothing to hide. This has nothing to do with me. If she wants to accuse me, let her. I’m not afraid of any police investigation."

With that, An Ge hung up on Huo Shaoyan.

After hanging up, An Ge took her phone and went to the upstairs study.

She was irritated.

She felt she had been patient enough with An Muxin and didn’t want to tolerate her any longer.

An Ge lit a lady’s cigarette in the study.

After finishing the cigarette, she took out her phone and dialed Huo Qingzhou,

"Help me investigate An Muxin’s kidnapping. I want to meet the kidnapper."

Huo Qingzhou sensed something was off with her emotions, "Have you been smoking?"

An Ge absentmindedly replied, "Only one."

Huo Qingzhou frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it because you’re annoyed with Huo Shaoyan?"

An Ge replied, "Not really. But it’s partly related to him. An Muxin is convinced that I ordered her kidnapping. She won’t stop unless we clarify it. Just catch the kidnapper and bring him to me."

Huo Qingzhou acted efficiently, and his people captured the kidnapper before Huo Shaoyan’s.

The kidnapper was brought to [Fusheng Residence] where An Ge was staying around eight in the evening.

By then, Huo Shaoyan and An Muxin had also arrived.

Nanny Lin came upstairs to find her, saying, "Miss, President Huo and the others are here."

An Ge acknowledged, instructing Nanny Lin,

"Call the police for me. Tell them I’ve resolved Miss An Muxin’s kidnapping case and ask them to come to arrest the kidnapper."

Nanny Lin responded, "Alright."

After that, An Ge wasn’t in a hurry to go downstairs.

She continued reading a storybook to Huo Chenghuan. After finishing one, she told Huo Shiqian, who was quietly reading an English book at the desk,

"Ah Qian, help me keep an eye on Huanhuan. Don’t let her go downstairs."

Huo Shiqian replied, "Okay."

As An Ge left the children’s study, Huo Chenghuan ran to the window, standing on her tiptoes to look at the entrance of [Fusheng Residence],

"Brother Qian, didn’t Mommy’s demeanor seem like she’s about to cause a ruckus? I feel like stinky daddy and that An Muxin woman might have a rough night."

Concerned about her bare feet, Huo Shiqian fetched her slippers and helped her put them on, "Adults’ conflicts are none of our business."

To divert her attention from going downstairs, he suggested, "Do you want to video call Brother Shang?"

A little friend named Jiang Nianen was hosting a birthday party at school the following day. Considering Huo Huaisang’s influence, Jiang Nianen invited her and Brother Qian to the party, and Huo Chenghuan was eager to make new friends.

So, Huo Shiqian’s words quickly shifted her focus.

She nodded happily, "I need to ask Brother Shang what gift to bring for her cousin Jiang Nianen."

...

Meanwhile.

An Ge went downstairs and asked Nanny Lin to invite Huo Shaoyan and An Muxin into the living room.

As soon as An Muxin entered, she tried to rush forward, but Huo Shaoyan forcibly pulled her back and pressed her into a seat on the sofa,

"I brought you here to solve the problem, not to fan the flames."

An Muxin was convinced An Ge was behind all of it.

She had been humiliated, soaked with urine, drank dirty water, and lay half-clothed in a foul-smelling trash can. Such an immense shame couldn’t calm An Muxin down.

She exclaimed in agitation,

"Fine. Let’s see how you’ll defend her in the face of the facts."

Pausing, she shot a cold look at An Ge, who was elegantly making tea,

"An Ge, how can you still have the leisure to make tea? Aren’t you scared that if I escalate this, you might spend the rest of your days in jail?"

An Ge filled her own cup with the brewed tea, took a delicate sip, and then glanced at her,

"Big words for someone with no leverage."

An Muxin’s eyes almost bulged out in anger.

At this moment, An Ge stood up, walked over to her.

An Muxin was sitting while she stood.

Looking down at An Muxin, she directed her words to Huo Shaoyan,

"She’s just a pretty face with no brains. But how come President Huo’s intellect isn’t what it once was either? Is it because of the company you keep? You both accuse me of hiring thugs to kidnap her; well, I’ve caught the kidnapper for you. If there’s anything you want to ask, just ask him."

An Muxin couldn’t believe her ears, "What did you say? You caught the kidnapper?"
