Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 241 Intimacy,

Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Intimacy,

Because Huo Shaoyan was the witness, he needed to cooperate with the police for a statement, which prevented him from meeting An Ge at the civil affairs bureau as planned.

So, before he went to the police station to give his statement, he called An Ge.

An Ge was shocked after hearing what he said and exclaimed, "What did you say? An Zhiguo and Bai Meilan fell from the building? How are they?"

Huo Shaoyan replied, "According to the An Residence’s surveillance, An Zhiguo and Bai Meilan’s fall was the result of a violent altercation between the couple. They’ve both been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Their condition is still unclear."

An Ge instinctively felt that things were not that simple. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You cooperate with the police first. I’ll go to the hospital."

Huo Shaoyan agreed, "Alright."

When An Ge arrived at the hospital, An Zhiguo was declared dead after unsuccessful attempts to save him.

Bai Meilan, on the other hand, was revived and taken to the intensive care unit.

An Ge couldn’t quite pinpoint her feelings about the result.

However, as she lifted the white cloth covering An Zhiguo’s body, her eyes stung with unintended tears.

This man, unable to rest in peace, was the only one Mother Wen had truly loved.

He brought his own ruin, though when faced with life and death, one can’t help but lament how fragile life truly is.

Just an hour ago, An Zhiguo had apologized to her on the phone, saying he had wronged Mother Wen and their daughter.

He even confessed that if he could avoid jail time, he’d spend the rest of his life tending to their graves until his own passing.

But now, he lay here, eyes closed in death, his body growing cold and stiff.

An Ge stood silently staring at An Zhiguo’s body for a full quarter-hour before leaving.

She didn’t leave the hospital but sat on a bench downstairs.

In the intense early summer noon sun, she sat on the bench, yet a cold aura surrounded her.

She looked up when a pair of black leather shoes entered her view, meeting a man’s intense gaze as he looked down at her. "What did the police say?"

Huo Shaoyan frowned at her sun-flushed face, his expression disapproving. "Are you an idiot? Sitting in the sun like that, aren’t you afraid of heatstroke?"

An Ge indeed felt somewhat dizzy at that moment.

When she stood up, her body wobbled slightly.

Huo Shaoyan picked her up and carried her to the shade under the dense trees.

As he walked, he explained to An Ge, "The police have retrieved all surveillance footage from the An Residence and questioned the servants. Their initial judgment is to rule out homicide. The exact cause still requires inquiries from those involved for a definitive conclusion..."

An Ge, exhausted, interrupted him, "An Zhiguo is dead." She paused, "There won’t be a chance to testify."

Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about Bai Meilan?"

Only when they reached the shade did Huo Shaoyan put An Ge down.

He looked into her somber eyes and repeated, "What about Bai Meilan?"

An Ge replied, "They said she was saved and is currently in the intensive care unit, but it’s unclear when she will wake up."

Huo Shaoyan mentioned, "Before the incident, An Zhiguo contacted you. The police will likely speak with you soon to understand the situation."

An Ge responded with a simple "Hmm, I’ll cooperate with the police investigation."

Huo Shaoyan asked her, "You always had a tumultuous relationship with An Zhiguo, filled with animosity. I’m curious why you... were in contact with him. What did you call him about?"

The noon sunlight filtered through the dense greenery, casting dappled shadows on Huo Shaoyan’s face, giving him a pressing presence.

An Ge looked up at him for a moment before casually saying, "I did hate him. But, when we found a common enemy, we naturally united."

Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes. "A common enemy?"

An Ge explained, "Did I ever tell you I’m not Mother Wen’s biological daughter? Her real daughter died because of their ruthlessness. And Mother Wen’s death was orchestrated by Bai Meilan. Additionally, An Baoying is not An Zhiguo’s biological daughter, so after learning the truth, An Zhiguo wanted revenge on Bai Meilan. I returned to seek justice for Mother Wen..."

Huo Shaoyan stared at her in shock, "You’re not Ms. Wen Ning’s biological daughter? Then you and An Zhiguo..."

An Ge stated, "An Zhiguo and I have no blood relation."

Huo Shaoyan was shocked once more, "Then who are your real parents?"

An Ge pursed her lips and said, "I want to know too. My return, besides treating Huanhuan’s illness and avenging Bai Meilan, was mainly to solve the mystery of my own identity."

Huo Shaoyan thought for a moment and said, "I can tell you have a good relationship with Lu Huai’an. With his capabilities, investigating your identity shouldn’t be particularly difficult. Any progress so far?"

An Ge pondered and replied, "I’ve confirmed that my mentor was Qin Huaisheng, and my identity mystery likely involves the Qin family."

She paused, "But I am not Qin Xiaoqi. Based on Qin Xiaoqi’s childhood appearance, she would not look like me as an adult. Also, she had undergone liver surgery, so she should have scars on her chest. I have no surgical scars."

Huo Shaoyan was silent for a moment before asking, "Where did Aunt Sheeng hide Xiaoqi?"

An Ge thought he would at least say something like, ’I’ll help you investigate your identity mystery.’

Instead, he asked about Qin Xiaoqi’s whereabouts.

It seemed that even now, Huo Shaoyan hadn’t forgotten the girl named Qin Xiaoqi.

As Huo Shaoyan predicted, the police soon sought out An Ge.

After cooperating with the police for her statement, she received a call from the hospital mortuary’s manager regarding handling An Zhiguo’s body.

An Ge questioned, "Why not go to An Baoying?"

Legally, An Baoying was An Zhiguo’s daughter.

Though she wasn’t his biological daughter, she was obliged to manage An Zhiguo’s final arrangements.

The mortuary manager replied, "Ms. An Baoying has gone mad; she can’t handle the paperwork."

Mad?

An Ge found this unbelievable!

After taking care of An Zhiguo’s body, An Ge visited An Baoying once.

As the mortuary manager described, An Baoying did indeed seem insane.

No sane person would soil themselves like that.

When An Ge entered An Baoying’s room, the caregiver was cleaning her up.

As she was washed, An Baoying smeared feces on her face, babbling like an idiot.

An Ge didn’t believe someone would go mad without warning.

Hence, she intended to test her.

She said, "An Baoying, the doctor said your mom might not make it through tonight. Do you not want to see her one last time? She’s the woman who loved you desperately; don’t you want to say goodbye?"

But An Baoying seemed oblivious, bringing a handful of feces to her mouth, chewing with delight.

As she chewed, she babbled, "Ice cream, delicious, ice cream, tasty, Yingying likes ice cream, haha..."

An Ge turned and left.

After the caregiver left too, An Baoying rushed to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Then she cried her heart out while hugging her knees. After calming down, she called An Muxin, who was in the Imperial City.

Over the phone, she said to An Muxin, "I want An Ge dead. I’ll do anything to make her die."

An Muxin, already distressed over lacking an opportunity to deal with An Ge, was immediately delighted when An Baoying approached her.

An Muxin gleefully suggested, "Isn’t it easy to make her die? Hire a killer. But she’s despicable; it’s too easy for her to just die. Didn’t you say Huo Huaisang is her son? Let’s have them destroy each other first, shall we?"

Although unsure about what skewed Huo Huaisang’s DNA results with An Ge, An Baoying was certain Huo Huaisang was An Ge’s son.

Thus, An Baoying quickly devised a plan, "Fine. But I need you to send someone to assist me."

An Muxin smiled, "No problem."

...

Three days later, after managing An Zhiguo’s funeral, An Ge relocated Wen Ning’s grave to the Wen’s Mansion’s ancestral grave.

She buried Wen Ning and her daughter together, excluding An Zhiguo from their resting place.

After burning joss paper and preparing to leave, An Ge recalled something.

An Zhiguo had mentioned over the phone before the incident that Bai Meilan stole a jade pendant, which had a "Qin" character on it, from Grandmother’s grave.

An Zhiguo had wanted to discuss the jade pendant’s details with her, but ended the call abruptly, likely due to the clash with Bai Meilan.

Years before, on her deathbed, Mother Wen said she left something for An Ge in Grandmother’s grave. But back then, An Ge only found an urn of Qin Huaisheng’s ashes.

So An Ge speculated that the jade pendant might hold clues to her identity.

Pondering this, An Ge decided to investigate the jade pendant’s whereabouts.

Thus, after returning to Jingcheng, she sent instructions to have Lu Huai’an’s team assist in locating it.

Later that night, after taking a bath and leaving the bathroom, Huo Shaoyan approached her, saying, "An Zhiguo’s funeral is over. Tomorrow morning, we should get our marriage reinstated, alright?"

While speaking, Huo Shaoyan reached into An Ge’s robe, seeking the warmth he desired.

An Ge, not in the mood for such activities, pushed him away without second thought, "I’m not in the mood."

Huo Shaoyan knew she wasn’t in the mood, yet her insomnia had been keeping him awake too.

Despite her unwillingness, Huo Shaoyan pulled her back, kissed her, and said, "You’ve been sleeping poorly lately. Some pre-sleep aerobic exercise could be refreshing physically and help you sleep better afterward. Don’t you think?"

An Ge frowned, annoyed with him, "Huo Shaoyan, could you stop being so annoying?"
