Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 233: Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Fell in Love with Her

Her palms broke out in a cold sweat from panic.

But within seconds, she calmed her nerves and said to Huo Shaoyan, "The child is just babbling, President Huo, don’t read too much into it."

Huo Shaoyan looked at the thick darkness outside the window, a half-smile playing on his lips as he replied, "Is that so?"

An Ge said, "Otherwise, what could it be? Haven’t you already done a DNA paternity test with Huanhuan? Isn’t the DNA test result enough to prove everything?"

Huo Shaoyan didn’t expect An Ge to tell the truth.

He remained silent for quite a while.

An Ge said, "President Huo, it’s quite late already, you should rest early, good night."

Having said that, she hung up his call.

Afterwards, Huo Shaoyan sat in a daze for quite some time before realizing he needed to do something.

He took out his phone and dialed a number for the Imperial Capital An Family.

The person who answered was Mrs. An.

Mrs. An had quite a bit of resentment towards Huo Shaoyan, saying, "Huo Shaoyan, you still dare to call? The old man in our family is sick with anger. If you mention breaking off the engagement again, our Imperial Capital An Family will be at odds with your Jingcheng’s Huo Family from now on. You can’t just bully people like this!"

Faced with Mrs. An’s harsh words, Huo Shaoyan’s voice remained calm, "Mrs. An, the engagement between An Muxin and me wasn’t exactly honorable in the first place. An Muxin threatened death by slashing her wrist, and it was only because you begged me repeatedly that I reluctantly agreed to the engagement. I don’t love her. If there’s no love, the marriage will never be happy, and it will ruin her life..."

Mrs. An interrupted him coldly, "Huo Shaoyan, if it weren’t for all the commotion about you and An Muxin, letting everyone in the social circle know that you’ve already consummated your marriage, I’d have supported you breaking off the engagement just because you don’t love her. But the situation has come to this, you’ve already ruined An Muxin’s reputation, and she loves you. Whether you are willing or not, you have to be responsible for her. That’s your responsibility as a man and the bottom line of the An family, otherwise our two families will turn against each other and become irreconcilable."

Pausing for a moment, she added coldly, "This is my stance, as well as the old man’s stance. Either you marry soon, or we become enemies."

Mrs. An’s attitude was very firm, and Huo Shaoyan was not about to back down either.

He almost immediately responded after Mrs. An finished speaking, "Mrs. An, I have a woman in my heart who I want to be responsible for, so I will definitely call off this marriage. But I will compensate you..."

Huo Shaoyan hadn’t even finished speaking when Mrs. An, burning with rage, interrupted him, "Huo Shaoyan, you are truly ungrateful. Back then, Ah Sheng shouldn’t have saved you; it would have been better to let you die."

Back then, after escaping from the human experimentation center, Huo Shaoyan’s body experienced multiple organ failures due to long-term experimentation, and it was Qin Huaisheng who spared no effort to save his life.

In Mrs. An’s eyes, since An Muxin was the daughter of Qin Huaisheng’s twin sister, Huo Shaoyan shouldn’t be so unfeeling and heartless.

However, Huo Shaoyan quickly fought back, leaving Mrs. An speechless.

Huo Shaoyan spoke to her methodically, "The life-saving grace Aunt Sheeng gave me is something I have always remembered, but her kindness is her kindness. Even if I were to repay it, it should be to the Qin Family, not the An Family."

Pausing, he continued, "Moreover, back then, I risked my life to save Qin Xiaoqi by giving part of my liver. That favor has been repaid. After the Qin family’s massacre, I never showed mercy to anyone or any family connected to the case. It’s unbecoming of you to say such things."

After a few seconds’ pause, Huo Shaoyan added, "The marriage between An Muxin and me will definitely be annulled. However, this matter will indeed damage An Muxin’s reputation. After I publicly announce the annulment of the engagement, I will take responsibility for being at fault. Besides that, I will do my best to bring the medical sage Leo out to perform heart surgery for Commander An. Beyond that, I am powerless."

After finishing the call with Mrs. An, Huo Shaoyan called the public relations department in the middle of the night, ordering them to publicly announce the breaking of his engagement with An Muxin and take responsibility for the termination.

Due to controlled evaluations, not much of a storm emerged online.

However, due to this announcement, the stock of the Huo Group plummeted to an all-time low as soon as the market opened the next day, evaporating nearly ten billion in a single day.

But Huo Shaoyan didn’t care.

As long as he wanted, he could always make that money back.

However, the shareholders were not okay with this.

The elders within the family were also unhappy.

Even Mrs. Huo thought he had handled this matter too extremely.

Mrs. Huo had hardly managed the affairs of the group over the years, but having assets evaporate by billions in one day was something she couldn’t ignore.

Thus, the next day, without any prior notice, she stormed into his office, pointed her cane at his nose, and scolded him, "Huo Shaoyan, if the group continues to be mismanaged this way, it would go bankrupt in less than a year. I’m too old to manage you, but can you have a bit of discretion? Can you leave some legacy for my precious great-grandson? Even if you don’t want to marry An Muxin, there are many ways to annul the engagement. Why did you choose the most extreme way? Do you realize, because of this uproar, the Imperial Capital An Family has completely severed ties with our Huo Family? The An family is a house of politicians; there’s a longstanding saying that one doesn’t fight with officials. The An family publicly declared a clear break with us, and those in the marketplace, every one of them craftily will likely side with the An family and become adversaries with the Huo family. Don’t you believe the stock price drop is just the first step..."

After she finished her tirade, Huo Shaoyan succinctly stated, "It’s not as if I can’t afford to lose. I can afford to lose billions."

Mrs. Huo’s blood pressure rose out of anger, "You—"

Huo Shaoyan continued, "Stay out of this, I have my reasons for doing things this way."

Mrs. Huo secretly gritted her teeth, saying, "I think you’ve momentarily lost your mind. Even I can see that An Ge doesn’t have the slightest interest in you. Why can’t you just give up? She now has children, and I hear she has quite a good relationship with her boyfriend. Why are you trying to destroy that?"

Huo Shaoyan did not like the sound of that.

His thick eyebrows immediately furrowed together, and with simmering anger in his voice, he coldly said, "Nothing can stop me if I want her."

Mrs. Huo’s heart trembled at his roar.

She watched Huo Shaoyan with a complex expression for some time before finally finding her voice, saying, "Have you fallen in love with her?"

Huo Shaoyan pulled a cigarette from a drawer, lit it, and started smoking.

The thick smoke quickly blurred his handsome face, making him appear sullen and cold.

He didn’t reply.

Mrs. Huo watched him with an even more complex gaze and said, "Ah Yan, it’s clear to anyone that she hates you. Tangling with her in this forced way will only end in mutual destruction. Why do it?"

Huo Shaoyan flicked the ash from his cigarette, looked up at her, and said, "If we had a child together, no matter how much she hated me, that hate would gradually fade over time."

Mrs. Huo stared at him, shocked.

She finally understood what Huo Shaoyan was thinking.

After a long pause, she spoke, "So, you are pestering her because you want her to have your child in a short amount of time? But Ah Yan, that’s just wishful thinking. If a woman hates a man, she won’t willingly bear his children. Even if she became pregnant, she’d find a way to get rid of it..."

Huo Shaoyan interrupted Mrs. Huo, saying, "How do you know she won’t want to keep it until you’ve tried? Besides," he hinted, "I suspect her current pair of children aren’t adopted at all..."

Mrs. Huo was shocked once again, "What do you mean by that? Didn’t I hear from your mother that you did a DNA paternity test with those two kids? The results showed you don’t have any biological connection..."

Huo Shaoyan crushed the burnt-out end of the cigarette into an ashtray and looked at Mrs. Huo, saying, "As you said, she hates me to death now. If you were her, would you let me acknowledge the two kids?"

Mrs. Huo let out a heavy snort, saying, "If I were her, I would’ve stabbed you twice with a knife, not letting you meet the kids would hardly satisfy the hatred."

Huo Shaoyan’s face darkened, his voice cold as he said, "Even you think like that, let alone her? From the beginning, her motives were impure when she approached me, so she took the lead, guiding me to propose the DNA paternity test. Typically, hair with follicles is used for paternity testing, and hair samples can be faked. As long as An Ge had the two children wear wigs, I wouldn’t be able to recognize them as my own. Therefore, I will find a way to take blood samples from the kids and conduct another DNA paternity test."

Mrs. Huo thought what Huo Shaoyan said was simply preposterous, thinking he had gone crazy.

However, if An Ge’s current children were truly Huo Shaoyan’s, she, of course, supported the children recognizing their ancestry.

Just like any elderly person, she hoped to have a full house of children and grandchildren.

With this in mind, Mrs. Huo said, "These are just your speculations. I fear you might be celebrating too soon."

Huo Shaoyan said, "Even if it’s a false hope, it doesn’t matter. If her pair of children truly have nothing to do with me, I will make sure she becomes pregnant with my child soon."

At this point, Huo Shaoyan raised his gaze to Mrs. Huo’s complex face and said, "I went to look for her last night, but she shut me out. She has become cautious of me, making it difficult for me to approach her children."

Then he changed the topic, "However, she has always had a good relationship with you. Can you invite her to the old residence for dinner and ask her to bring her kids along? Just say you’d like to meet the children as a family elder and want to give them a welcoming gift."

Mrs. Huo looked at him and asked, "Can I refuse?"

"You can." Huo Shaoyan paused after saying that, then added, "But when you pass on, I won’t let you be buried with Grandpa. I’ll have you buried far away from him so you won’t find peace even in hell."

Mrs. Huo cursed, "You beast! Brat!"

Huo Shaoyan added, "If her children truly are mine, and because of your lack of cooperation, they couldn’t recognize their ancestry, you would be the sinner of the Huo family."
