Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Degradation

An Ge was totally indifferent as she said, "This kind of thing isn’t happening for the first time. Five years ago, An Baoying did the same thing after a passionate affair with you, so I’ve already gotten used to it." She paused, her tone suggestive, "Besides, at most, we’re just in it for the physical connection, not emotionally involved. I honestly don’t care how you are with other women."

An Ge’s voice was calm and detached, as if she were talking about someone else’s affairs. She truly didn’t care. This realization made Young Master Huo particularly uncomfortable.

After dropping An Ge off at the Huo Mansion, Young Master Huo received a call from Qin Lang.

Qin Lang said, "Master, it seems Miss An Muxin has gone to the neighboring Lin’an City with her bodyguard, but her exact whereabouts have been obscured by her bodyguard, Gu Changfeng. It might take some time to figure out exactly where she is. What do you think?"

Huo Shaoyan pushed open the car door while holding the phone, "Take some people to Lin’an City first. I’ll head over shortly."

After he finished the call with Qin Lang, An Ge also pushed her car door open and got out.

It was nearing noon, and the sun was quite fierce. There was no shade in the parking lot. As An Ge got out of the car and was about to leave the parking lot, Young Master Huo stopped her, "If you don’t want me to find her, I can stay here with you."

An Ge paused, turned her head to look at him, and said, "President Huo, really, there’s no need. I don’t mind at all."

Huo Shaoyan’s thin lips tightened as he lit a cigarette. Through the swirling smoke, his handsome face became increasingly somber.

An Ge looked at him through the thickening smoke, thoughtfully, and said, "Since you chose me, you should indeed go find her and set things straight in front of her, so she gives up on you temporarily and doesn’t cause trouble for me later on."

After saying this, An Ge went to find Mrs. Huo.

Once she had walked away, Young Master Huo made a call to An Muxin. Unexpectedly, the call not only went through but was also answered.

At this moment, An Muxin was wholly unclothed. She looked like a fallen angel in the sparkling pool, pure yet alluring. Behind her was a tall man closely pressed against her.

The water level of the pool wasn’t high. Standing with her legs in the water and leaning against the pool edge, the water only reached her chest. Because of the strong impacts from behind, she almost couldn’t hold onto her phone.

A bit annoyed, she glared back at the man behind her, signaling him to pause. The man obediently halted all movements, like a well-trained dog, under her warning gaze.

Seizing the opportunity, An Muxin answered Huo Shaoyan’s call. Her voice seemed calm but carried an indistinct allure. Her attitude, however, was rather assertive, "Huo Shaoyan, I’m sticking to my word; you will marry me whether you like it or not. My grandfather and the elders will find time to fly to Jingcheng to see you in a couple of days. Until they arrive, you won’t find me... ah—"

Just as she finished the last word, the man behind her forcefully thrust, causing her to let out an unrestrained sound.

The sound was quite abnormal. On the other end of the phone, Huo Shaoyan frowned and asked coldly, "What’s wrong with you?"

An Muxin turned around and shot the man an angry glare before responding to Huo Shaoyan, "I accidentally slipped. We’ll talk again once my grandfather arrives in Jingcheng."

She then hung up on Huo Shaoyan. After doing so, she turned and slapped the man behind her. In the sunlight, the man’s face was forced to the side.

He was actually quite handsome, with a great physique, but the left side of his face had an egg-sized bruise. If not for this blemish, An Muxin figured he could rival those top male idols in the entertainment industry.

After slapping him, she warned, "Gu Changfeng, don’t be a toad trying to eat swan meat. I’m just using you to get pregnant, not looking for anything else. You’d better behave, or I’ll throw you into the African wilderness and let you fend for yourself."

Faced with her harsh demeanor, Gu Changfeng’s emotions showed no fluctuation. Yet his body disregarded her wishes entirely, ruthlessly teaching her a lesson. It was unclear where he hit, but she seemed unusually enthralled, her voice resounding in the air.

Afterward, utterly exhausted, An Muxin was carried back to the large bed in her private villa by Gu Changfeng. Before falling into a deep slumber, she fished out her phone and called An Baoying.

At that moment, An Baoying was in the hospital changing her bandages. She had one of her pinky fingers severed by An Muxin last night, and with An Muxin flushing it down the toilet, she couldn’t even have surgery to reattach it.

Having witnessed An Muxin’s cruelty and aware of her powerful background, An Baoying now harbored an instinctive fear of An Muxin. When she answered the call, her hands trembled, and she stammered, "Princess An, do you have any instructions?"

An Muxin, quite satisfied with her submissive attitude, curled her lips and said, "Relax. We’re on the same boat now. As long as you behave, I’ll protect you."

An Baoying asked, "So, what are your instructions?"

"You know, An Baoying, you’re pretty lucky. Although Huo Shaoyan doesn’t really care about you, you still gave him a son. No matter what mistakes you’ve made, at least you’re the biological mother of the Young Master Huo. Because of this alone, you can accomplish many things that others can’t."

An Baoying was now genuinely too scared to take any reckless actions. She realized she was no match for either An Muxin or An Ge. All she wanted was to heal and bide her time.

So, she said, "Princess An, I’m not quite sure what you mean."

An Muxin sneered coldly, "Don’t understand? Huo Huaisang is such a valuable card, yet you’ve played it so poorly. Can’t you use your brain and consider how to leverage him? An Ge is about to trample over us. Can’t you play your role as a mother?"

An Baoying, distressed, replied, "Princess An, frankly speaking, I haven’t even seen Huai Shang lately. I haven’t had the chance to use him at all..."

An Muxin chastised, "Can’t find an opportunity? Then make one. Doesn’t he go to kindergarten? Can’t you pick him up before school ends and use him to teach An Ge a lesson?"

An Baoying asked, "Do you have a specific plan?"

An Muxin smirked and replied, "Huo Huaisang is the only great-grandson of the Huo Family. If anything happens to him because of An Ge, like getting hurt or drowning, do you think Huo Shaoyan would ever forgive An Ge, that bitch? Even if he can, what about the Huo family and the Fu Family in the Imperial City?"

...

Meanwhile, at the Huo Mansion, tears that wouldn’t stop streamed down Mrs. Huo’s face as she looked at An Ge being led inside by Housekeeper Su. She felt a sense of indebtedness to An Ge, especially after recently learning the truth that An Ge was carrying Huo Shaoyan’s child. The guilt in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Mrs. Huo, unable to control her emotions, hugged An Ge and cried for quite a while before finally calming down. Mrs. Huo held An Ge’s hand and said, "I’ve heard that you’re living well now and have even adopted a pair of children?"

An Ge nodded, "Yes."

Mrs. Huo patted the back of her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Back then, it was Ah Yan who wronged you, and our Huo Family also wronged you..."

An Ge thought about it and objectively stated, "Actually, you can’t really be blamed. If you must blame someone, blame An Baoying and Bai Meilan for being so adept at manipulation, playing us all for fools."

Mrs. Huo sighed and said, "In theory, after all the bad things An Baoying has done, she should be sent to prison. But, after all, she is Huai Shang’s biological mother..."

An Ge definitely couldn’t be honest with Mrs. Huo, couldn’t tell her that Huo Huaisang was actually her son and not An Baoying’s. As soon as she confessed, let alone kidnapping the future heir of the Huo Group, Mrs. Huo would probably immediately inform Huo Shaoyan.

Hence, An Ge said, "I understand what you’re saying."

Faced with An Ge’s understanding nature, Mrs. Huo felt even more guilty. She said, "But don’t worry, I will definitely see to it that justice is served for you and that An Baoying gets the punishment she deserves."

An Ge smiled and said, "Those things aren’t important. I just came to check on you."

She paused for a moment, testing the waters for information on Huo Huaisang’s situation, "My daughter, Huanhuan, really likes Young Master Huo. When I took her to kindergarten today, she said she didn’t see Brother Shang and was quite unhappy."

Mentioning Huo Huaisang made Mrs. Huo smile as she spoke to An Ge, "He has a bit of a cold, and I couldn’t bear to send him to kindergarten. But he will be attending a birthday party for En En at the kindergarten this afternoon. After lunch, he’ll be sent there."

As she spoke, Huo Huaisang appeared, led in by Fu Rou.

It was already mealtime, and Fu Rou had brought Huo Huaisang to have lunch with Mrs. Huo. She hadn’t expected An Ge to be there.

Fu Rou had complex feelings about An Ge. Although she knew the truth about An Ge being pregnant back then, Fu Rou, in her subjective view, considered An Ge to be a seductive troublemaker, of low birth, not suitable for Huo Shaoyan. Moreover, news of An Muxin and Huo Shaoyan’s escapade from the night before was currently causing a stir in the entire elite circle.

Thus, Fu Rou’s attitude toward An Ge was quite cautious. She said, "Why are you here?"

An Ge didn’t look at her; she was looking at Huo Huaisang. As she looked at him, he was also looking at her. The little boy had a pair of exquisite almond eyes. While he didn’t resemble her in other aspects, those eyes were just like hers.

Looking at him, An Ge’s gaze softened, and she beckoned him, "Come."

Facing his biological mother’s summons, Huo Huaisang couldn’t help but walk toward her. However, just before he reached An Ge, Fu Rou pulled him back and said, "Huaisang, go to your great-grandmother. Don’t associate with this kind of woman; she’s not a good woman."
