Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Mad Love

An Mu took a deep breath and said, "I heard you were abducted when you were sixteen or seventeen, found barely dressed inside a transparent glass vessel. They took quite a few scandalous photos of you back then. Do you think I might have photos of you like that?"

An Ge said nothing.

An Mu’s arrogance only grew. She continued, "An Ge, I didn’t originally want to target you, but as soon as you returned to the country, you started stealing my man. Do you really think I would just sit back and do nothing? Let me tell you, the man I, An Mu, want, even Qin Xiaoqi couldn’t take from me when she was alive, let alone you, her mere stand-in."

An Ge squinted, seemingly smirking, and remarked, "From the way you talk, you seem to really hate Qin Xiaoqi. Isn’t she your cousin?"

This sentence seemed to hit a sore spot with An Mu.

She suddenly lost control, her voice sharp, "Don’t mention her to me. She’s been missing for many years, probably dead by now. Don’t compare me to a dead person."

Pausing for a moment, her tone shifted as she said, "I’m calling to tell you that you won’t take my man away. Because he’s in my bed right now. We just had a very passionate night. He’s crazy about me, and whatever old feelings he has for you won’t last."

With that, An Mu cut off the call with An Ge.

Not long after, a photo arrived on An Ge’s phone—An Mu barely dressed, lying on top of Huo Shaoyan.

An Ge seemed unfazed by this.

Because a thought swirled in her mind: was the Qin family massacre from years ago connected to the Imperial Capital An Family? After all, she could always hear An Mu’s disdain for the Qin family in her tone.

But wasn’t An Mu’s biological mother the twin sister of her mentor, Qin Huaisheng?

Logically speaking, the An family shouldn’t be against the Qin family.

An Ge was now wide awake. She got out of bed.

The moment her feet touched the ground, there was a sharp pain between her legs, making her teeth chatter.

Huo Shaoyan had indeed hurt her. It was as if he hadn’t seen a woman in hundreds of years, tormenting her on the washbasin in the same position for a long time...

After washing up, An Ge went to a nearby convenience store to buy emergency contraception.

After taking the pills, she noticed explosive news on the trending topics.

A passionate photo of a famous dance artist and financial magnate Huo caught the headlines on all major news apps.

However, the comments section was full of well-wishes.

"Wow, it looks like the Huo Family from Jingcheng and the Imperial City An Family’s princess are about to have happy news."

"Indeed, they got engaged two years ago. They should be getting married by now."

"Exactly. Young Master Huo has always pampered Princess An especially. I heard that Young Master Huo attends every single dance performance by Princess An."

"Not just that, every year on Princess An’s birthday, Young Master Huo personally makes her birthday gifts."

"The couple flaunting their love late at night is just too much, ugh..."

"But their love is really sweet. Princess An must be insanely happy right now."

"Reliable sources say President Huo is wealthy and skilled, so of course, our Princess An will be blissfully satisfied."

"..."

"But, how come I heard that President Huo still can’t forget his ex-wife?"

"Pure rumors from the person above. That’s completely false."

"I agree. I know President Huo’s ex-wife. She was an unmarried pregnant woman with many affairs—such a demoness. How could President Huo not forget that kind of woman?"

"Really? Was President Huo’s ex-wife really as terrible as you all say?"

"Of course. President Huo’s ex-wife also had the surname An. She was a disgrace who went to prison and had numerous affairs with men. They say it was because of her promiscuity that President Huo kicked her out."

"But, as they say, evil begets evil. I heard she perished in a fire five years ago. Her ending was quite tragic."

"..."

An Ge scrolled through the comments briefly and wanted to look up the IP address of the post, but in an instant, all the online posts about this news were taken down. Even using a search engine, she couldn’t type in the keywords.

Clearly, this news was forcibly suppressed by some capital entity.

As for who this entity might be, it wasn’t hard to guess.

Huo Shaoyan called An Ge after she finished breakfast.

Last night, An Ge and his negotiation didn’t go well.

Precisely because it didn’t go well, it angered him, so he probably sought out An Baoying afterwards to vent.

Thinking of this, An Ge looked at the frequently vibrating phone and eventually went over to set it to silent.

She didn’t answer Huo Shaoyan’s calls. After he called three times, he stopped trying.

Because he was well aware that even if he called, An Ge wouldn’t pick up.

His face was grim.

So grim that a few minutes earlier, even An Mu, whom he had tossed out of bed, didn’t dare breathe.

Despite it being early summer, An Mu felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over her, chilling her to the bone.

Her eyes covertly observed the enraged man. Seeing that, despite his anger, he did not truly intend to blame her, An Mu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when, with a bang, a phone lay broken before her.

It was Huo Shaoyan’s phone.

Startled, An Mu’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively stepping back. But she knew there was no retreat now.

Of course, she wouldn’t allow herself to retreat.

So, before Huo Shaoyan could settle accounts with her, she struck first, saying, "You were drunk last night. When I returned to the hotel, I happened to see Master Xiao hurriedly leaving your presidential suite. I noticed he left in a rush, and your door wasn’t properly closed, so I intended to close it for you."

As she said this, An Mu was on the verge of tears, "But, I had just entered your room and was dragged onto the bed."

Huo Shaoyan really had too much to drink and didn’t remember anything from the night before.

But he was sure he wouldn’t ever touch An Mu.

Therefore, after An Mu finished speaking, he coldly declared, "I could never touch a woman other than An Ge, so it’s impossible for me to have touched you."

An Mu laughed as she shed tears, "Why do you think it’s impossible for you to have touched me? I bear some resemblance to An Ge. When you’re drunk, you mistake me for her and recklessly assault me. Don’t you remember? Even if you don’t remember, the bloodstain on the bed should prove what happened last night, right?"

Taking a deep breath, pushing her tears back, An Mu added pointedly, "Huo Shaoyan, whether you acknowledge it or not, you’re my first man in this life. Now that you’ve taken my purity, you have to take responsibility. Although the online news has been forcibly taken down by you, the entire upper society already knows about this. Even if you don’t want to marry, you’ll have to marry me."

Pausing, she implied, "My grandfather holds a high position, placing a lot of importance on face. With things turning out this way, he would never allow his granddaughter to suffer in silence. So, you have no choice."

Huo Shaoyan didn’t speak.

He focused his Phoenix Eyes on the splash of red blooming on the white sheets and after a long while, said coldly to An Mu, "Whether I touched you or not, is not for you to say."

An Mu’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Huo Shaoyan, don’t go too far!"

She usually called him Brother or Brother Yan, rarely ever addressing him by his full name.

In the face of her anger, Huo Shaoyan mercilessly declared, "Whether I touched you or not, I will have an appropriate doctor extract your fluids to prove it."

At his words, An Mu was so flabbergasted, due to her guilty conscience, she froze where she stood.

But she quickly composed her emotions, and with remarkable composure, told Huo Shaoyan, "Huo Shaoyan, I won’t let you humiliate me like this. There’s no way I will submit to lying on cold medical equipment for a doctor to touch my body..."

"Then you’re hiding something!"
