Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Intense, Entangled

Huo Shaoyan clearly wanted to teach her a lesson so she’d remember, but at the moment, he just couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless.

He lifted An Ge into his arms, but his expression remained grim.

[Huo Mansion,] When he appeared in the brightly lit living room with An Ge in his arms, An Muxin, who hadn’t yet gone upstairs to rest, nearly popped her eyes out in shock.

She hadn’t expected Huo Shaoyan to be so shamelessly indulgent when it came to An Ge. He couldn’t even bear to leave her in the rain. Behind this behavior laid only one truth: Huo Shaoyan was completely in love with An Ge.

As Huo Shaoyan carried An Ge upstairs, he never once glanced at An Muxin. However, An Ge, nestled in his arms, provocatively made a pinky swear gesture towards An Muxin.

An Muxin was so infuriated she almost overturned the coffee table. But she held it in.

After returning to her room, she called An Baoying. At that moment, An Baoying had just finished her bath.

She had been pretending to be mad all day, and it was exhausting. After bathing, with the servants gone, she felt a rare sense of relaxation. However, An Muxin’s call immediately unsettled her again.

She answered cautiously, saying, "Aren’t you already staying at the Huo Mansion as you wished?"

Prior, An Muxin had incited An Baoying to coax Jiang Nianen into giving a blueberry tart to Huo Huaisang, causing his condition to flare up. An Muxin’s aim was to have Huo Shaoyan turn to her for help once Huo Huaisang’s condition worsened. That way, she and An Baoying could work together, inside out, to take down An Ge. So far, the progress seemed quite smooth, except the process annoyed An Muxin.

An Muxin spoke coldly after An Baoying finished, "I came up with a plan to completely ruin An Ge."

An Baoying shared the same deep hatred for An Ge, possibly even more so than An Muxin, so she hurriedly asked, "What plan?"

An Muxin replied, "However, this plan might require a little sacrifice on your part."

An Baoying didn’t mind at all and said, "As long as it means she dies, I’m willing to do anything."

An Muxin curled her lips and said,

"Aren’t you pregnant with triplets? Right now, Mrs. Huo values the children in your womb. If your pregnancy was lost because of An Ge, do you think Mrs. Huo and Huo Zhendong would spare An Ge?"

An Baoying frowned and said,

"That’s hard to say. Although Mrs. Huo cares about my triplets, she has always been kind to An Ge. Moreover, that bitch An Ge has Huo Shaoyan’s protection. Even if I miscarry my triplets, An Ge wouldn’t even get a scratch..."

An Muxin interrupted her with a sinister smile, "What if we add Huo Huaisang to the equation?"

An Baoying was shocked, "You want to kill Huo Huaisang and frame An Ge?"

An Muxin stated ruthlessly,

"Why not? If the young master of the Huo family dies at An Ge’s hands, would Huo Shaoyan spare her?"

An Baoying hesitated, "But... if it doesn’t succeed or gets exposed, I’ll... I’ll be completely doomed!"

An Muxin assured her,

"Aren’t I here for you? Don’t worry, if the worst happens, I’ll ensure your safety. You can have plastic surgery, change your appearance, and no one will be able to trace you."

An Baoying was silent for a moment, then, a bit puzzled, asked,

"I don’t quite understand. Didn’t you always like Huo Huaisang and care for him?"

An Muxin laughed coldly and said,

"He’s not my son. If he dies, when I have Huo Shaoyan’s child in the future, our child will be the only heir to the Huo family."

An Baoying realized An Muxin was even more treacherous than she had thought. She became extra cautious, discreetly turning on a voice recorder pen at that moment, and said to An Muxin, "I’ll listen to you on how to proceed specifically."

...

On the other side,

After Huo Shaoyan carried An Ge back to the master bedroom, he ignored her. He looked at her coldly, "Go clean yourself up."

An Ge replied, "Then get me a change of clothes..."

"The walk-in closet has them, find it yourself."

Huo Shaoyan’s attitude was terrible.

An Ge pouted before heading to the closet.

After finding a change of clothes and coming out, Huo Shaoyan was no longer in the master bedroom.

An Ge was anxious to ask Huo Shaoyan to release Huo Qimeng, so she quickly washed up and changed into a silky nightgown within ten minutes.

After freshening up, she went in search of Huo Shaoyan.

He was in the study.

An Ge knocked and entered, standing before him.

But Huo Shaoyan ignored her, staring intently at his computer screen, likely dealing with work.

An Ge teased as she approached him, "President Huo, working late into the night, aren’t you afraid of sudden death?"

At her words, the man slightly adjusted the angle of his computer screen, causing An Ge’s pupils to contract to the extreme.

It was a complete surveillance video.

But the scene in the video was blood-boiling.

The man had previously threatened her via text that he had installed surveillance in the downtown apartment, recording their intimate moments.

She initially thought that even if there were surveillance cameras, the footage wouldn’t be so explicit.

The explicitness reached the level of an erotic film.

An Ge’s blood pressure skyrocketed to the extreme at once. Without thinking, she grabbed his laptop and smashed it into pieces.

After destroying it, she turned away without looking back.

Huo Shaoyan had no intention of stopping her. He casually remarked as she reached the study door,

"Do you think I’d only store that stuff in one computer?"

An Ge paused her steps, then turned back to stand before Huo Shaoyan.

In her eyes, he could see a surge of anger and a mix of resentment and other intense emotions.

Without hesitating, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.

Her voice was chilling.

"You’re a bastard inherently bad to the bone. I shouldn’t expect you to ever treat me like a normal person. You’re worse and more excessive than you were five years ago!"

An Ge trembled with fury all over.

Huo Shaoyan looked at her and said,

"You were going to marry my half-brother just to disgust me, and you expect me to treat you like a normal person?"

An Ge’s eyes reddened with anger as she said,

"You always go back on your word, changing your mind, and then you told me to get lost. Do you expect me to keep myself for you when you ask me to disappear?"

Huo Shaoyan rubbed his cheeks sore from her slap.

His eyelids lowered slightly, giving a half-smile as he said,

"Ms. An, you’re exaggerating. I’m just warning you, find a random homeless man and I wouldn’t care, but pick a man from our Huo family, and I won’t allow it!"

An Ge thought Huo Shaoyan was rotten to the core, making it impossible to reason with him. She took a deep breath and said,

"President Huo, do whatever you want with Huo Qimeng. Don’t come asking for my help when Huo Qingzhou rises up to take revenge on you."

Huo Shaoyan’s thin lips curled coldly as he replied,

"If he seeks revenge on me, what use are you? You hold no value to me, let alone to him."

This was the first time An Ge had been angered like this in years. She was so mad her chest hurt, hurt so much she couldn’t control her hands from clutching her heart.

As she clutched her heart, her face nearly drenched in cold sweat, Huo Shaoyan noticed something was wrong with her, "What’s wrong with you?"

An Ge merely closed her eyes. After enduring the intense attack of angina, she looked at him and said,

"Huo Shaoyan, just don’t regret your actions today."

Having said that, she let her hand fall from her chest, turned, and walked briskly out of Huo Shaoyan’s study.

No sooner had she left than the sounds of things being smashed followed from the study.

But An Ge had no bandwidth for that now.

Outside, the heavy rain continued to pour.

The rain washed over her face and body, rinsing away some of her internal turmoil but also leaving her a bit clearer in thought.

Her car was parked at the entrance of the Huo Mansion.

Driving away, she flew to the Imperial City overnight.

On her third day in the Imperial City, she learned from Nan Xiao that Huo Qimeng was taken away by Huo Qingzhou’s men. It was Mrs. Huo who negotiated for Huo Shaoyan to agree to release her.

After that, Huo Qimeng was sent by Huo Qingzhou’s men to the M continent, as for Huo Qingzhou himself, he was injured in the waist and had to stay in the hospital to recuperate.

This incident pushed Huo Qingzhou over the edge, and a furious An Ge’s calls were repeatedly rejected.

Nearly a month later, one afternoon, the mostly recovered Huo Qingzhou descended upon the Imperial City, cornering her at her hotel entrance.

[Hotel lobby,] That night, the hotel lobby sparkled splendidly under glass chandeliers.

Seeing him, An Ge was quite surprised and asked, "Your... waist is better?"

Huo Qingzhou showed her no kindness, his voice dripping with sarcasm,

"Why are you, a woman, so concerned about a man’s waist? What, worried my waist isn’t strong enough to satisfy you in the future?"

His words made An Ge frown, "What do you mean by that?"

Huo Qingzhou spoke succinctly, "I’ve made up my mind, we’re getting a marriage certificate."

An Ge’s frown deepened, and she said,

"Your waist isn’t fully healed, and you’ve already forgotten the pain? Last time I merely hinted at it, and Huo Shaoyan managed to orchestrate a car crash that injured your waist. If you go through with it, he definitely won’t stop until you’re crippled..."

Huo Qingzhou coldly interrupted her,

"From your tone, it sounds like you think he’s invincible. After being tormented by him so much you can’t stay in Jingcheng, don’t you want any revenge?"

An Ge had no thoughts of revenge; her concern was solely focused on getting Huo Chenghuan surgery.

She replied to Huo Qingzhou,

"You only want to marry to exact revenge on him? I have no objections to you retaliating against him, but don’t drag me into it. I just want to cure Huanhuan’s illness; I have no time for anything else..."

Huo Qingzhou threatened her, "If you don’t agree to marry me, I’ll reveal everything to that scoundrel Huo Shaoyan right now..."

He paused, and pulling out his phone, displayed Huo Shaoyan’s phone number, pressing the dial button, ready to call, saying, "I’ll count to three, 1, 2..."
