Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Wanting Children, Wanting Her to Give Birth

Before Huo Chenghuan successfully underwent liver surgery, An Ge had no intention of escalating conflicts with Huo Shaoyan. She took a deep breath, looked at him, and said, "I tried talking with you properly last night, but it was you, President Huo, who refused to acknowledge it after you were satisfied."

She paused for a moment and added, "President Huo, actually, you and I are the same kind of people; we are both selfish. If I put in effort last night, it means that if I don’t receive a corresponding reward, I will keep my distance from you. So, if President Huo wants to talk to me, then show some sincerity, and I will naturally welcome you with a smile."

Huo Shaoyan was in an utterly foul mood. He raised his hand to pinch the throbbing center of his brow, and after a long pause, he said, "Sincerity? Do you expect me to willingly cut open my body and donate my liver to save your daughter just because you spent a night with me? Ms. An, do you realize how seductive you were last night, with that puddle flowing down the sink?"

Before he could even finish the word "water," An Ge raised her hand and slapped him. She struck with such force that the sound echoed in the air. Huo Shaoyan felt as if the entire side of his face had gone numb from the hit. He bit the back of his teeth and pushed the sore spot on his cheek with his tongue to form a bump. He looked at An Ge, whose eyes were turning red with anger, and spoke in a more malicious tone, "What, not allowed to say it? Deep down, you’re just a wild one, aren’t you? Last night, before things even got real, you’d already melted like water. And now you act like you’re aggrieved and taken advantage of, pretending what?"

An Ge was so furious that her entire body trembled. She shoved him away sharply, turned around, and tried to open the car door again, but Huo Shaoyan grabbed her wrist to stop her. He was more aware than anyone that once An Ge was truly angered, the chances of coaxing her back were almost zero. Thus, he chose to strategically withdraw for the moment, compromising a step: "Fine, you don’t want to remarry me; that’s okay. But both of us must compromise a little. I can donate my liver to save your daughter, but you must move in and live with me."

An Ge, now calm, was quite rational. She said, "Move in and live with you? For how long? Under what identity?" She continued, hinting at something, "The scandalous photos of you and An Muxin made it to the trending list. Although you used capital to suppress them and the related news, everyone in the elite circles knows you have an affair with her. If you don’t marry her now, you have no choice but to do so..."

Huo Shaoyan’s expression turned so dark it seemed like water could be wrung from it, and he interrupted her in a deep voice, "You don’t want to remarry me, and you feel cohabitation lacks legitimacy. What exactly do you want from me?"

An Ge’s hand was starting to ache under his grip. She shook off his hand holding her wrist and said, "I can move in and live with you, but only if you temporarily break ties with An Muxin and publicly call off the engagement. Then I’ll agree."

Huo Shaoyan looked at her silently for a long time and said, "Regarding my disengagement with An Muxin, I had already discussed it with Commander An, but..."

An Ge laughed coldly, cutting him off, "But you slept with her last night, and now you can’t shirk the responsibility? So the best way is for me to live with you as your mistress?"

Huo Shaoyan gulped and said, "I’ve never intended for you to live with me as a mistress. Currently, the pressure from public opinion in the circles is great. The best solution is for you to remarry me, cutting off the Imperial Capital An Family’s intention of forming an alliance."

He paused and continued, "The most important thing is that I don’t believe I was even with An Muxin last night..."

An Ge laughed out loud coldly and said, "An Muxin sent me your compromising photos, with positions already set in a way that even if there was no real action, being seen with a proper young lady like that also ruined her reputation. So, President Huo, you’re not in a great position right now."

Huo Shaoyan took a deep breath, quieting down. Then he said, "Alright, I’ll agree to your terms." He paused again, "So, when do you plan to move in with me?"

An Ge said, "Whenever you publicly announce the cancellation of your engagement with An Muxin, I’ll move in then." An Ge’s attitude improved greatly, which satisfied Huo Shaoyan. He said, "Okay, I’ll handle it as soon as possible."

An Ge glanced at him and said, "However, there must be a time limit on the cohabitation thing. I can’t spend my whole life tied to you."

Huo Shaoyan had a plan to get An Ge pregnant with his child. If he could achieve this during their cohabitation, then there would be an unbreakable bond between them, a connection for a lifetime. So it’s something he was thinking about very strategically and said, "Alright, a year."

An Ge refused without hesitation and said, "No, three months at most." She paused, hinting at something more, adding, "To be honest, my daughter’s illness doesn’t necessarily require your liver for a full recovery. Recently, there’s an on-going KS project in development; if it’s successful, the treatment developed could cure my daughter’s illness. So you’re not my only option at present. You are the best and safest one, however."

The implication was that if he could accept this timeframe, they would cooperate; if not, they would part ways from here on. Huo Shaoyan was particularly confident about getting An Ge pregnant within three months, feeling the time was sufficient, so he readily agreed. He said, "Fine. Three months it is."

An Ge felt a little relieved and said, "I have one more demand. During these three months, you need to complete the liver surgery for my daughter." Huo Shaoyan replied, "Alright."

With the surgery issue for her daughter resolved, the weight pressing on An Ge’s heart was lifted. Consequently, her attitude towards Huo Shaoyan became noticeably calmer. She said, "Can I go now?"

Huo Shaoyan asked, "Where are you going? I can go with you." An Ge was initially planning to visit Jingcheng Hospital, where her medical assistant, Anna, had successfully joined and became Xiao Ye’s attending physician. An Ge planned to meet Anna at Jingcheng Hospital to discuss treatment plans for Xiao Ye. However, upon hearing that Huo Huaisang might be ill, she decided to visit the Huo Mansion first and then meet Anna at Jingcheng Hospital. Naturally, she couldn’t admit to Huo Shaoyan she was going to the Huo Mansion to see her son, Huo Huaisang.

Considering this, An Ge said, "Back then, Mrs. Huo was the only one who treated me kindly. Now that I’m back, as a junior, I should visit her."

Huo Shaoyan now wanted to stick to An Ge for twenty-four hours a day if possible. Almost as soon as An Ge finished speaking, he shamelessly said, "That’s just perfect. I also need to go to the Huo Mansion. Let’s go together."

An Ge opened the car door at that moment, "Up to you." As she was about to get into the car, Huo Shaoyan pulled her out. An Ge frowned, a bit annoyed, "What are you doing?"

Huo Shaoyan pushed her into the passenger seat, saying, "My car is broken. I’ll drive yours, and we’ll go to the Huo Mansion together."

An Ge was speechless, but she didn’t expose his lie.

On the way to the Huo Mansion, Huo Shaoyan received a call from Huo Nuan. Over the phone, Huo Nuan said, "Ah Yan, I didn’t find An Muxin in the presidential suite you mentioned. Considering your age, when such a thing happens, as a man, you should take responsibility for the young girl. You asking me to bring a medical team to extract her bodily fluids is nothing short of humiliating for her. She might not be able to cope with the humiliation."

Huo Shaoyan hadn’t expected An Muxin to sneak out of the Huangchao Hotel. His expression turned somber, but he said nothing. Huo Nuan continued speaking, "Ah Yan, An Muxin is a high-spirited young lady; her temperament doesn’t tolerate being humiliated. Even though you ended up together due to an accident, if you don’t intend to marry her, don’t provoke her. I think the most pressing matter is to find her first, and once she calms down, you can have a proper talk with her."

She paused, adding earnestly, "Moreover, she once attempted suicide over marrying you; she has an inherently extreme personality. I think you..."

Before Huo Nuan could finish, Huo Shaoyan interrupted, "Understood. I’ll send someone to find her shortly."

Huo Nuan sighed, "I think this incident is ultimately because of you. You’d better look for her yourself. If anything were to happen, we wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Imperial Capital An Family."

After finishing the call with Huo Nuan, Huo Shaoyan dialed Qin Lang’s number. He instructed Qin Lang, "Take people immediately and find An Muxin, and I’ll meet up with you later."

Concluding the call with Qin Lang, Huo Shaoyan glanced at An Ge sitting in the passenger seat and said, "No matter what, we can’t let An Muxin run into trouble on my turf, or I won’t have an explanation for the An Family."

An Ge turned her gaze away from the scenery outside the window and looked at him, "You’re worried she might commit suicide?"

An Ge doubted An Muxin would go as far as to take her own life. Deep down, An Muxin was a selfish woman who loved herself too much to end her life.

Huo Shaoyan replied, "She did attempt suicide before."

His answer made An Ge laugh. With a mild tone, she said, "Women sometimes try to commit suicide not because they actually want to die, but to force the other party to compromise." She paused, "So, I don’t think she would really consider it."

Huo Shaoyan asked, "You don’t want me to search for her?"

An Ge almost immediately said, "That’s not what I meant at all. I was just expressing my opinion, thinking that she’s not the kind of woman who would actually go through with suicide. She provoked me early this morning, sending those scandalous photos of you two, proving she despises me. I’m like a thorn in her side, a nail in her flesh, and I’m living perfectly well. So how could she possibly end her life?"

Huo Shaoyan’s expression darkened as he asked, "She provoked you, but you don’t care at all?"
