Chapter 265 Loving Him

Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Loving Him

An Ge opened her eyes.

Her eyes had become very red.

She looked at him with red eyes for a while before saying, "Then I’ll wait until you calm down to find you."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and got out of the car.

Soon, the man’s car sped away into the distance.

Although it was morning, the summer sun was still intensely scorching.

An Ge stood by the asphalt road, watching the car that quickly drove away. She stood there for a long time before withdrawing her gaze.

She felt that the current situation was a bit troubling.

The sudden change in Huo Shaoyan’s attitude made her original plan become tricky.

Now, he was ignoring her. How could she make him willingly give a liver lobe to extend Huanhuan’s life?

An Ge even felt some regret.

A black sedan stopped behind her, its window rolled down, revealing a handsome man’s face that was both elegant and roguish.

He tilted his chin at her, speaking with a half-smiling expression, "What is it? Huo Shaoyan doesn’t want you anymore, huh?"

The outdoor temperature was too high, and An Ge hadn’t rested well recently.

At this moment, standing up made her head feel a bit dizzy.

She walked to the side of the front passenger seat, opened the man’s car, and after getting in, said to the man,

"Yeah, this time it’s pretty much over for good."

Huo Qingzhou rolled up the window and pressed the gas pedal,

"So what? How about considering my previous proposal? We have a marriage of convenience and then expose Huanhuan’s true identity to him. Let’s see if he can still act like a scoundrel!"

An Ge felt a headache coming on and said,

"Let’s wait and see." She paused, "I really don’t want to provoke your so-called fiancée, the heiress of the Wen family."

Huo Qingzhou didn’t have to have an agreement marriage with An Ge to shake off the domineering and capricious heiress Wen Hui.

His voice was lazy, "Whatever you like." He paused, "Where are you headed?"

An Ge answered with another question, "When are you going back to Continent M?"

Huo Qingzhou replied, "I’m working on a project with Tang Jiuze right now, so I won’t be going back for a while."

An Ge raised an eyebrow, "You two aren’t teaming up to deal with Huo Shaoyan, are you?"

Huo Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, saying, "Why not?"

An Ge said calmly, "It’s not that you can’t. It’s just that even if you guys team up, you won’t be able to take him down."

Huo Qingzhou sneered and said, "What if we add Lu Huai’an to the mix? That ought to make him shed a layer of skin, right?"

An Ge still hesitated, "Are you sure... the three of you together can take him on?"

Huo Qingzhou: "..."

He was actually quite speechless.

This woman felt all along that Huo Shaoyan was an outright despicable scoundrel.

Yet deep down, she still believed that he was invincible, the mightiest in the universe.

Huo Qingzhou bit the inside of his cheek and looked at An Ge, speaking with a half-smile,

"If you agree to a marriage of convenience with me, I’ll not only be your legal husband but also your daughter’s legal father. In that way, Huo Shaoyan wouldn’t even challenge us and would surrender obediently. His woman, his daughter, both would be in my hands, and when I beat him down, he’d have to swallow it."

An Ge frowned and looked at him, "You and he have always kept to your own lanes..."

Huo Qingzhou interrupted what she was going to say,

"Yes, we have always stayed out of each other’s business, but he acts so arrogantly and arrogantly that he even bullies my people. As an older brother, if I don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll think he can ride over my head!"

An Ge quickly realized something.

Huo Shaoyan had previously captured Huo Qimeng and released rats and snakes to scare her, making her somewhat mentally unstable. This had crossed Huo Qingzhou’s boundaries.

So, Huo Qingzhou had decided to take revenge on Huo Shaoyan.

Frankly speaking, An Ge didn’t want them to have a conflict.

First, they were brothers; second, Huo Shaoyan was the biological father of her child, and Huo Qingzhou and Lu Huai’an had risked their lives for her.

As for Tang Jiuze, he had once saved her life. So, no matter who among them was not doing well, she didn’t want to see it.

Thus, An Ge said, "You’re not for real, are you?"

Huo Qingzhou’s tone was playful,

"When have I ever not been serious?" He paused, "What is it? Even though he’s about to bully you black and blue, are you still thinking about him, loving him, standing by him in your heart?"

An Ge denied it,

"No, I’m just afraid he’ll risk his life against you. No matter what, he’s the child’s biological father. If it reaches the point of bloodshed, that wouldn’t be good."

Huo Qingzhou mockingly said, "So, all you’re saying is that you can’t bear to see him bleed."

An Ge didn’t deny it and said,

"Even though he’s terrible, the children already know the truth. I can’t allow their biological father to die young."

That, Huo Qingzhou didn’t like to hear.

He said, "You can’t let him die young, so you just want to see us suffer?"

An Ge was somewhat confused by this and frowned, "What has he done to you?"

Huo Qingzhou sneered,

"What has he done? First, he collaborated with Lu Huai’an’s rival, Gu Yuandong, and then teamed up with Tang Jiuze’s arch-enemy, Lu Tingxiao, and even began putting pressure on my overseas industries. If we don’t join forces, we’ll only be torn up by him."

An Ge truly didn’t know about any of this.

She said, "I... I didn’t know about this."

Huo Qingzhou sneered,

"Of course, you don’t know these things. In Huo Shaoyan’s eyes, we’re all his rivals in love. How could he possibly let you in on his plans against us?"

After returning to [Fusheng Residence], Huo Qingzhou left.

Shortly after Huo Qingzhou left, someone from the Gu Family in the Imperial City came to visit.

It wasn’t just anyone but the head of the Gu Family in the Imperial City, Gu Yuandong.

At just over forty years old, Gu Yuandong looked very young, but the authority emanating from him was powerful enough to be impossible to ignore.

He wore a dashing Zhongshan suit, the black buttons fastened up to the very top of his neck, with his hair slicked back. His facial features were deep-set but sharp and serious.

Especially his phoenix-shaped eyes, which carried an inherent sense of cold and oppressive pressure when he looked at others, making him quite unnerving.

Upon entering, he dismissed his accompanying bodyguards and straightforwardly said to An Ge, "Ms. An, I apologize for the sudden disturbance..."

Although it was their first meeting, the profile of the first Finance Minister of the Imperial Treasury appearing in political news daily meant An Ge naturally recognized his face and understood his purpose.

Therefore, An Ge did not treat Gu Yuandong kindly, "Finance Minister Gu is quite interesting. You call it a disturbance, yet you still come uninvited?"

Gu Yuandong, "I wasn’t entirely uninvited. Ah Qian contacted me himself; he arranged for me to pick him up and return to the Gu Family today."

An Ge was shocked, "What did you say?"

While they spoke, Huo Shiqian, carrying a backpack, came downstairs.

He went up to An Ge, looked up at her, and said,

"Sorry. I didn’t consult with you in advance." He paused, "I’ve decided to go back with him to the Gu Family."

An Ge felt a complex and heavy mix of emotions as she crouched in front of Huo Shiqian and said,

"Ah Qian, do you know what it means to just go back with him like this?"

Huo Shiqian replied,

"I have leverage against him, and I’ve given copies to you and Mr. Lu. As long as he wants to climb higher in his career and wants his path to remain smooth, he won’t dare to do anything to me."

Huo Shiqian finished speaking and patted An Ge’s shoulder, his eyes slightly red but his gaze unwavering as he said to An Ge,

"You have to believe me; I can take care of myself and will also protect you and sister Huanhuan in the future."

An Ge’s heart felt increasingly uneasy.

At this moment, Gu Yuandong stepped forward and said to her,

"He is a child of the Gu Family. As long as you all maintain boundaries and principles, I will not harm him."

An Ge stood up, looked at him, and said,

"He is not only a child of the Gu Family but also your son, Gu Yuandong."

She paused,

"If anything happens to him, I will use everything in my power to see you brought down."

Gu Yuandong responded expressionlessly,

"Ms. An, even a cruel tiger won’t eat its cub, I’m not as bad as you think."

Gu Yuandong had another political meeting to attend soon and didn’t have time to waste here.

At this moment, he directed his gaze at Huo Shiqian and said, "Let’s go."

As he spoke, he reached out to hold Huo Shiqian’s hand, but Huo Shiqian avoided him.

Huo Shiqian walked ahead on his own, with bodyguards following behind.

An Ge looked at his small, slim figure as he walked away and couldn’t help but call out to him, "Ah Qian, do you really have to leave?"

Huo Shiqian’s steps paused slightly, but he didn’t look back.

Before he completely left, he said to An Ge,

"I can’t always hide under your protection; otherwise, I will never grow up or become a man capable of standing on his own."

Huo Shiqian left soon after.

Before Gu Yuandong left, he locked his sharp eyes on An Ge’s brow and said,

"Your eyes resemble those of someone I used to know."

An Ge instinctively asked, "Who?"

Gu Yuandong, "She’s no longer around."

An Ge pondered for a few seconds and said, "Qin Huaisheng was my teacher..."

Gu Yuandong’s eyes narrowed deeply, "Are you Ah Sheng’s student?"

An Ge nodded, briefly recounting what she knew about Qin Huaisheng to Gu Yuandong, and asked,

"What was your relationship with my teacher?"

Gu Yuandong thought for a moment and said,

"When Ah Sheng was eighteen, she gave birth to Qin Xiaoqi. If she were alive today, she’d only be forty-three. I, along with Fu Huaijin from the Imperial City’s Fu Family, once pursued her. Unfortunately, she didn’t choose me and was only willing to talk about love with Fu Huaijin."

An Ge instinctively asked, "Then could Qin Xiaoqi be Mr. Fu’s daughter?"

Gu Yuandong, "No." He paused, "Fu Huaijin disappointed her deep feelings for him because he disliked her having a child out of wedlock."

An Ge frowned, "Then who is Qin Xiaoqi’s biological father?"

Gu Yuandong’s eyes grew distant, and after a long while, he said, "I wish I knew."

An Ge desperately wanted to solve the mystery of her own identity.

She pressed further, "Then who do you think Qin Xiaoqi’s biological father could be?"

Gu Yuandong frowned and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

An Ge was momentarily stumped by the question.

Gu Yuandong continued speaking, "You’re better off not probing into matters you shouldn’t know about if you wish to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself."

Gu Yuandong left after delivering this statement.

Following this, An Ge once again entertained some thoughts about the mystery of her identity.

If she truly was Qin Xiaoqi, then her biological father must have a connection with Qin Huaisheng.

From the clues she had, Fu Huaijin had once been Qin Huaisheng’s fiancé, making him the prime suspect for being Qin Xiaoqi’s biological father.

Upon this thought, An Ge was eager to meet Fu Huaijin in person.

Coincidentally, her daughter was also in the Imperial City. She could see her daughter and take the opportunity to meet Fu Huaijin.

With a plan in place, An Ge booked a flight to the Imperial City at ten that night.

Before that, she intended to make another visit to the hospital to confirm whether Huo Huaisang’s condition was stable.

Unfortunately, when she appeared at Huo Huaisang’s hospital room with a basket of fruit, she was stopped at the door by Huo Shaoyan.

Huo Shaoyan stood at the doorway, looking at her with cold eyes, his voice even colder,

"Have I not told you not to appear in front of me again?"
