Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Love Affair~

Young Master Huo’s face turned grim, his voice dark and dangerous, "Since you’ve already agreed to remarry me, in the future, whenever I want something, you must cooperate. This is the most basic aspect of being a couple."

Because of An Zhiguo’s sudden death, Xiao Ye’s surgery had been delayed. So, An Ge had arranged with Anna to perform Xiao Ye’s surgery at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. This meant An Ge had to rest early tonight to ensure no accidents during the surgery tomorrow.

She cut Huo Shaoyan off before he had finished speaking, "Not tonight."

Just as she was speaking, An Ge’s phone rang. It was Huo Qingzhou calling. An Ge had saved his contact under "Darling."

Young Master Huo glanced at the screen, and anger erupted from his heart, setting his mind ablaze. He grabbed the phone before An Ge could pick it up and flung it into a half-full glass of water.

An Ge, her eyes reddened with anger, shouted, "Huo Shaoyan, are you insane?" As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Shaoyan parted her robe and leaned in to kiss her. Not directly on her lips, but trailing from her neck to her collarbone, lingering at her chest. He was precise in his approach, knowing exactly where she was most vulnerable and sensitive.

Caught off guard by the surge of sensations, An Ge’s mind went blank for several seconds, overwhelmed by a burst of white light. Huo Shaoyan seized this moment to completely invade her space.

An Ge didn’t react without feeling. A woman’s body, maturing, instinctively responded to such advances. In a matter of minutes, she found herself limp under his relentless, wet kisses. At the peak of their encounter, she couldn’t even control the involuntary sounds escaping her lips.

After a heated and fervent meeting, An Ge looked at the man rising to get dressed, her voice hoarse and filled with rage, "Huo Shaoyan, do you really believe there’s any affection left between us?"

She answered her own question quickly, "Our relationship was never good from the beginning five years ago, and to this day, there’s no way any affection could exist between us. You should know this better than I do."

Huo Shaoyan couldn’t stand her overly rational and harsh attitude. His hand paused from dressing, and he turned to look at her face, flushed from their passion, and said deliberately, "If you’re unwilling to talk about affection or even show me a friendly face, then let’s tear down this facade. I can tell you clearly right now, if you want to reunite with Huo Shiqian, if you want me to willingly donate liver to save your daughter Huo Chenghuan, from now on, you are bound by me. After all, your weaknesses are in my hands."

With that, Young Master Huo turned and left the room. As he was leaving the master bedroom, he looked back at the trembling figure of An Ge and stated, "We’ve had quite a few encounters recently, but you’ve secretly taken contraceptives after each one. This time, don’t take them again."

He paused, ominously adding, "Remember, for every time you take contraceptives, I will make you repay it double until you conceive. If you never conceive, then we’ll torment each other for a lifetime. After all, I don’t have to have a child with you, my future can be entrusted to Huo Huaisang."

After saying this, Huo Shaoyan left the master bedroom entirely.

Upset, he went out to find Xiao Chaofeng to drink. Xiao Chaofeng was also troubled lately. With Nan Xiao unable to conceive, Madam Xiao was constantly creating opportunities for him to be alone with Nan Yun. Recently, Madam Xiao even went as far as drugging his drink, and while under its influence, putting Nan Yun in his bed.

Though he refrained from having an actual relationship with Nan Yun, Nan Xiao caught them in a compromising state, which led to her demanding a divorce on the spot. Naturally, Xiao Chaofeng refused to divorce. But Nan Xiao ignored him completely, having closed the door on him for several days.

Hence, Young Master Huo drinking with Xiao Chaofeng was timely. They didn’t go to a nightclub this time but went to Xiao Chaofeng’s place.

After several rounds of drinks, Young Master Huo lit a cigarette and took a drag, "What do you think she really wants? Haven’t I been good to her? With all patience and sincerity, I tried to coax her to change her mind. I’ve even offended the An Family in the Imperial City for her. Because of her, my company’s stocks have been plummeting for days..."

Intoxicated, the man spoke more than usual, his words a bit disjointed, "She wants me to donate my liver to save her daughter’s life, I agreed. How can she trample on my love for her as if it’s worthless? How could she treat me this way? Though she’s so flawed, I overlook her disgraceful past; how can she justify..."

Xiao Chaofeng, equally inebriated, slurred through his words, "She hates you, doesn’t love you, what else could it be? Who... who told you to be so ruthless to her back then?"

Xiao Chaofeng’s words struck a nerve.

Young Master Huo downed his glass of liquor, the fiery liquid burning his throat.

His eyes, red-rimmed, glanced at Xiao Chaofeng, saying, "So, I’m getting my comeuppance, is that it?"

Xiao Chaofeng didn’t respond as his phone rang. It was Nan Xiao calling after days of silence. He answered hastily, "Hello?"

But the voice on the other end wasn’t Nan Xiao’s; it was the family maid,

"Master Wu, something terrible has happened. Madam brought Nan Yun to confront the Miss, and in the conflict, she struck her. The Miss, weakened by illness these past few days, was pushed and fell down the stairs. You need to come quickly..."

Xiao Chaofeng sobered up almost instantly and, after hanging up, rushed out.

Xiao Chaofeng’s departure didn’t stop Young Master Huo from drinking alone. He continued to pour drink after drink for himself, trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but strangely, the more he drank, the clearer his mind became.

An Zhiguo, who might have known the whole truth, was dead; Bai Meilan remained in a coma, and An Baoying had gone mad...

It seemed everything had turned into a tangled mystery with no answers.

Yet deep down, he felt the truth was just within reach.

Young Master Huo was convinced that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, preventing him from uncovering the truth. He decided then to secretly conduct a paternity test between An Ge and Huo Huaisang.

Determined, Young Master Huo sought out Jiang Fengmian that night.

When he arrived, Jiang Fengmian was embroiled in a fierce argument with Jiang Qingyi, who had just returned to the country a few days prior. Jiang Qingyi wanted to marry Tang Jiuze, and Jiang Fengmian thought she was out of her mind.

Years ago, after Jiang Qingyi delivered a ’stillborn,’ Tang Jiuze divorced her, leaving her with severe depression that nearly killed her, reducing her to a mere skeleton.

To help her recover from the failed and painful marriage, Jiang Fengmian took her to see a psychologist and forcibly erased that painful Chapter from her memory.

Unexpectedly, after returning, she was once again enchanted by Tang Jiuze’s refined appearance, claiming she had fallen in love with him at first sight and wanted to be with him.

Jiang Fengmian was on the verge of slapping sense into her, exploding with anger,

"You want to be with him? Do you have any idea how many times you’ve nearly died because of him?"

Jiang Qingyi had forgotten about Tang Jiuze due to the erased memories, making her shocking reactions to Jiang Fengmian’s words quite natural. She asked, "Young Master Jiang, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

Jiang Fengmian’s throat bobbed as he watched her apply lipstick in the mirror, preparing to go out for a date. His expression darkened, "In any case, I forbid you from having any contact with that trash!"

Jiang Qingyi paused her lipstick application.

She frowned at Jiang Fengmian, clearly displeased, "Jiang Fengmian, I’ve always been annoyed by you since childhood. You’re not even my real brother, so what right do you have to control me? My parents barely meddle in my love life, why should you?"

Jiang Fengmian interrupted her, expressionless, "If I didn’t meddle, your grave would have sprouted grass taller than you by now."

Jiang Fengmian finished speaking and summoned his subordinate, instructing, "Dazhuang, escort the young lady to her room, and do not let her take a single step out without my permission."

Jiang Qingyi thought he was crazy and looked at him incredulously, "Jiang Fengmian, have you lost your mind? If you’re bold enough to treat me like this, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell my parents..."

That’s when Young Master Huo appeared.

He interrupted before Jiang Qingyi could finish, saying, "He’s not afraid. The entire Jiang Family is under his control now. Your parents have to follow his lead, and no one in the Jiang Family supports you seeking out Tang Jiuze, including me, your cousin."

Jiang Qingyi turned to look at him at his words, "Why?"

Young Master Huo replied, "Because back then, you nearly died because of that trash Tang Jiuze. The fact that you’re so spirited now is thanks to the very Young Master Jiang you’ve always looked down upon."

He added pointedly, "Jiang Qingyi, if it weren’t for Jiang Fengmian, you’d have died many times over."

Jiang Qingyi was speechless.

Worried that Young Master Huo’s words might agitate Jiang Qingyi, Jiang Fengmian signaled to the bodyguard, "Dazhuang, take her away."

Jiang Qingyi was furious, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Jiang Fengmian, you have a daughter yourself while I don’t even have a boyfriend. If you dare to stop me from dating Tang Jiuze, I’ll never let you off!"

Jiang Fengmian adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. Through the lenses, his gaze conveyed overwhelming pressure that Jiang Qingyi could distinctly feel.

But Jiang Qingyi wasn’t afraid of him; she’d never truly feared him since childhood. Her voice grew more defiant, "Jiang Fengmian, you’re just an ungrateful trash. Despite my parents treating you like their own son, you’ve swallowed up the entire Jiang family estate for yourself... And now, wanting to control my personal life and even imprison me, why don’t you just drop dead?"

Jiang Fengmian’s expression darkened increasingly, but he refrained from responding.

Instead, Young Master Huo coldly taunted, "Do you think he hasn’t died once already?"
