Chapter 251: Chapter 251 I Miss You

An Ge finished reading his message and felt chilled to the bone. She couldn’t imagine how someone could be as shameless as he was.

She made a call, and Huo Shaoyan picked up immediately. The man started talking before she could, saying, "The surveillance in the room was already there. I’m not as perverted as you think, deliberately installing cameras to record our intimate moments."

He paused. "Of course, I won’t deny that you look stunning when you’re carried away by passion. Maybe when you try to leave me someday, those videos might come in handy."

An Ge was speechless.

Huo Shaoyan continued, "Now throw away the contraceptive pills in your hand, and then obediently rest until I come back."

An Ge felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation as if someone was squeezing her throat, rendering her exhausted and helpless. After ending the call with Huo Shaoyan, her mood soured further. Still, she finished the dinner Secretary Jin had brought her.

Afterward, she searched for surveillance cameras in the room. Once she had turned off all the cameras, she sat cross-legged on the sofa and called Lu Huai’an, who was far away in the Imperial City.

She told Lu Huai’an, "Don’t bring Huanhuan back just yet."

Lu Huai’an was soon to be married to a high-society lady from the Gu Family. He had been busy with social engagements recently, but he still took care of Huo Chenghuan personally.

He asked, "One moment you want her sent back, the next you don’t. What’s going on?"

An Ge recounted the incident where Huo Shaoyan had driven her onto the bridge, pressing her to reveal the truth. Then she said, "Though I managed to bluff my way out this time, if he finds out I lied, he won’t let me off. I’ve thought it over, and having Huanhuan’s surgery in the Imperial City would be better. If she stays on your turf, it’ll be hard for Huo Shaoyan to pull any tricks."

Lu Huai’an agreed with a simple "Alright."

An Ge then shared with Lu Huai’an the information she had gathered from Wen Qing about Qin Huaisheng’s past, saying, "I’m pondering something. Perhaps back then, Qin Huaisheng had her daughter’s face surgically altered to protect her from enemies? If that’s the case, could I be Qin Xiaoqi?"

Lu Huai’an replied, "I’ve had many doctors examine your face, and they all said it hasn’t been touched. This doesn’t add up."

An Ge sighed, saying, "Well... if I’m really Qin Xiaoqi, how can we verify it? Is there really not a single member of the Qin family left alive?"

"As far as I know, all seventy-two members of the Qin family were completely wiped out."

An Ge remained silent for a moment before asking, "What about Qin Xiaoqi’s biological father? Wasn’t it said that Qin Huaisheng gave birth to Qin Xiaoqi out of wedlock? Her father’s identity remains a mystery. Could it be possible to find her biological father? If we find him, wouldn’t that easily confirm this matter?"

Lu Huai’an frowned, "That’s easier said than done. Qin Huaisheng refused to disclose the father’s identity back then, even when pressed by her family. The Qin family spent a lot of resources searching for him, all to no avail. The Qin family of that era was far more prestigious than even the An Family today. If they couldn’t find him, what makes you think I could?"

An Ge was at a loss for words. After a few moments, she asked, "This woman you’re marrying, how is she related to Gu Yuandong?"

Lu Huai’an said, "She’s his cousin."

Gu Yuandong was Huo Shiqian’s biological father, and Gu Yuandong held a high position in the political bureau, with an upcoming presidential election. He dreaded scandals.

Huo Shiqian was born to Gu Yuandong and Gu Liangchen. Though Gu Liangchen had passed away, Huo Shiqian’s existence threatened Gu Yuandong’s political career. Thus, An Ge needed to understand the Gu Family’s arrangements and plan early for Huo Shiqian.

She told Lu Huai’an, "Gu Yuandong always thought Ah Qian was dead, but because of Huo Shaoyan’s meddling, he now knows Ah Qian is alive. I’m worried Gu Yuandong will make a move against Ah Qian..."

Lu Huai’an interrupted her, "Why are you worried? Ah Qian is my godson too. As long as I’m around, nothing will happen to him."

After ending the call with Lu Huai’an, An Ge’s tense nerves finally relaxed a bit. However, her relief was short-lived as Huo Qingzhou’s call came in.

But he used a stranger’s phone, "Ma De, I got robbed. Come pick me up at the airport."

At this critical moment, An Ge wished to avoid being seen with Huo Qingzhou. Therefore, she said, "My relationship with Huo Shaoyan is strained right now. I managed to appease him with great difficulty. If he finds out I’m secretly in touch with you, he’ll definitely be angry with me again..."

Huo Qingzhou, having a temper of his own, said, "You’re afraid he’ll be mad at you, but you’re not afraid I’ll be mad?"

With that, he hung up on her.

An hour later, An Ge appeared at Jingcheng Airport. [Jingcheng Airport] was a historic cultural city with a booming economy and tourism. Despite the late hour, the airport was still bustling with people.

At the exit Huo Qingzhou had mentioned, An Ge immediately spotted him standing out like a crane among chickens. He seemed eager to handle Huo Qimeng’s mess; he neither brought an assistant nor luggage.

He leaned against a pillar, his handsome face reminiscent of Huo Shaoyan’s, showing nothing but impatience. As An Ge approached, he shouted irritably, "Are you a snail? You’re so late."

An Ge replied, "It’s good enough that I came. Even if you lost your phone or whatever, couldn’t you take a cab? Even if you didn’t have the money, surely some woman would be willing to give you a ride with that face of yours?"

Huo Qingzhou tugged at his tie. With a sullen expression, he walked ahead, "Where’s the car?"

An Ge replied, "Outside. I brought Anna with me."

Huo Qingzhou’s strides were long, forcing An Ge to jog to keep up.

When she finally caught up with him, a bit out of breath, he suddenly stopped and turned around simultaneously. Caught off guard, An Ge collided with his chest.

Huo Qingzhou, being well-built from training, had firm and muscular pecs that made An Ge’s eyes tear up. Her eyes reddened instantly.

One hand covering her aching nose, she punched Huo Qingzhou’s chest with the other, saying, "Are you insane? Why did you suddenly stop?"

Huo Qingzhou quickly grabbed her wrist. What he wanted to ask got stuck in his throat when he spotted a familiar figure. Not only that, but he also pulled An Ge into his embrace in the next moment, holding her waist as he said flirtatiously, "Baby, did you miss me?" After a pause, he added, "Though whether you miss me or not isn’t important. What’s important is that I missed you."

An Ge’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. She glared at him fiercely, "Did you take the wrong meds? Let go of me..."

As she was about to kick his leg, a deep, icy male voice sounded from behind her, "An Ge, what are you doing?"

The voice made An Ge freeze entirely. That voice?

Even though she hadn’t done anything, she felt the gut-wrenching guilt of being caught in the act. It was as if this feeling surged through every pore of her body instantly.

An Ge’s legs felt as heavy as lead; she wanted to turn around but couldn’t.

Seeing her ashen face, Huo Qingzhou smiled. He said, "Didn’t you claim you’ve developed an ’Invincible’ and impervious body now? Why are you so scared?"

An Ge shot him a fierce look, then pushed him away with a shove before turning around.

Their eyes met, and sparks flew.

Huo Shaoyan wore the same outfit he had on when he left her place, a black shirt paired with black trousers. His tall, upright figure stood out sharply in the crowd.

As she moved to take his arm, Huo Shaoyan unkindly dodged her.

Sensing trouble, An Ge quickly explained, "I’m not having an affair with Huo Qingzhou like you think..."

Huo Shaoyan cut her off, "You were wrapped around each other like that, so if it’s not like how it looks, then how is it? I remember when you just came back home, you told me more than once that you planned to marry him. Those were your words, weren’t they?"

An Ge was rendered speechless.

Huo Shaoyan continued, "You managed to get me over the moon in one moment and then flirt with my brother in the next, keeping a foot in two boats. You’re quite something, aren’t you?"

With that, Huo Shaoyan turned and walked away with a cold face.

In those few steps as he walked away, An Ge could foresee her impending predicament.

If she didn’t clear up this misunderstanding, the upcoming surgery for Huo Chenghuan’s liver repair wouldn’t proceed smoothly.

Thus, without giving it any thought, An Ge hurriedly chased after him, "Can you let me explain?"

Huo Shaoyan inserted a hand into his trouser pocket, his phoenix eyes coldly gauging her, and said, "Explain what? Explain that you didn’t lean on him, or that you two really don’t have a ’thing’?"

This time, before Huo Shaoyan could speak, Huo Qingzhou interjected with an amused tone, "Getting so jealous, you must truly love her? But what can you do? I’ve already ’had a thing’ with her a long time ago."
