Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Kiss!

In the hospital room, Huo Chenghuan remained silent for a long time before shaking her head and saying to An Ge, "He’s not a qualified father. Having just Mommy is enough for me. An unqualified father doesn’t deserve such an adorable daughter like me."

At this moment, Young Master Huo pushed the door and walked in.

His sudden entrance caused a brief silence in the conversation between Huo Chenghuan and An Ge.

An Ge felt somewhat guilty.

Instinctively, she avoided eye contact and inadvertently met Young Master Huo’s gaze.

However, Huo Chenghuan looked at him with her big, round, black eyes, full of defiance.

Not only that, she even scolded him boldly, "You really have no manners, eavesdropping on my conversation with Mommy, hmph!"

Young Master Huo squatted before her, his Phoenix Eyes never leaving her face, and said, "Tell me, who is your biological father?"

Huo Chenghuan pursed her lips and said, "Well, it’s not you anyway, so why do you care so much? Are you and the other guys competing to see who’s worse and more like scum?"

Hearing Huo Chenghuan’s words, the little flame of hope that had ignited in Young Master Huo’s heart was instantly extinguished.

He really was shameless.

Time and again, DNA test results proved that Huo Chenghuan and he had no connection, yet he still couldn’t help fantasizing that she was his daughter.

What else could this be but shamelessness?

Young Master Huo stood up, glanced at An Ge, and said, "I forgot my phone. I came back to get it."

As he spoke, An Ge indeed saw Young Master Huo’s phone left on the coffee table.

After retrieving his phone, Young Master Huo quickly left without looking back.

Afterwards, An Ge stayed in the hospital room until Huo Chenghuan took her midday nap, then she left with Nan Xiao.

Xiao Ye had already been transferred to a regular room and was recovering well recently.

An Ge planned to visit him.

Xiao Chaofeng was also with Xiao Ye, and Nan Xiao had something to discuss with Xiao Chaofeng, so it was a good time to accompany An Ge.

They chatted as they walked.

Nan Xiao asked, "Were those things you just said to comfort Huanhuan, or did you really mean it?"

An Ge admitted, "Both Huai Shang and Huanhuan are not in good health; they need a complete family. So, I want to give Huo Shaoyan another chance. If he still disappoints me, then I’ll take both of them back to live in M Continent of Huaxia Country."

Nan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Remarrying President Huo might not be a bad thing. Once you’re remarried, you can have custody of both children, and when you separate from President Huo in the future, you can openly take them with you."

An Ge nodded slightly and asked, "What about you? How have you been recently? I’ve heard that Madam Xiao is making a fuss every day, pressuring you to divorce Xiao Chaofeng. And I’ve also heard... is Nan Yun pregnant again, with Xiao Chaofeng’s child? Is that true?"

Nan Xiao responded with a slight hum, "Nan Yun says the child is Xiao Chaofeng’s, and he hasn’t denied it."

An Ge let out an "oh" and asked, "So are you looking for Xiao Chaofeng to discuss divorce now?"

Nan Xiao gave a bitter smile and said to An Ge, "I am no Holy Mother; I can’t tolerate him having an unclear relationship with Nan Yun during our marriage, let alone having another child with her. So, I do plan to divorce him. But he keeps avoiding me and refuses."

An Ge asked, "Emotionally, do you still love... Xiao Chaofeng?"

Nan Xiao scoffed, "Love? That’s crap! We modern women aren’t just about love stories. I’m going to skin Xiao Chaofeng alive this time. Even if I don’t leave him penniless, I’ll make sure he compensates me with half of his property."

Hearing Nan Xiao speak like this put An Ge’s mind at ease.

At least, Nan Xiao saw through this situation clearly.

Unlike those women of Young Master Huo, all hopeless romantics, who are willing to risk everything for so-called love.

Xiao Ye was currently recovering remarkably well and no longer needed assistance to get out of bed and move around.

However, years of being a vegetative state left him emaciated; his body was nearly skin and bones, with almost no muscle, causing him to gasp for air every few steps.

When An Ge and Nan Xiao arrived, Xiao Ye was sitting on the sofa, taking deep breaths.

The blue and white patient robe hung loosely on his frame.

His once handsome face was now gaunt with prominent cheekbones and sunken eyes, lending him a somewhat menacing, skeletal appearance.

But when An Ge appeared, Xiao Ye looked at her and cried like a child.

An Ge, moved by his emotions, felt her eyes welling up.

After crying enough, Xiao Ye began to scold her, "I thought you were dead, but turns out you’re living more like a person than I am."

An Ge’s nose turned sour, and she told him, "We all need to be well. The good fortune is yet to come."

Xiao Ye looked at her and said, "I heard you even have kids now? Are they Huo Shaoyan, that scumbag’s?"

With Xiao Chaofeng also present in the room, An Ge couldn’t reveal the truth to Xiao Ye.

She told Xiao Ye, "They’re not related to him. But they are related to you!"

Both Xiao Ye and Xiao Chaofeng were equally stunned.

Xiao Ye, excited, said, "Damn, I’ve never even touched a finger of yours. I don’t remember planting any seeds on you! Come on, confess when you secretly did it and had my child?"

An Ge raised her hand, intending to slap him, but found him so frail she feared sending him to heaven with one smack, so she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Instead, she jabbed him on the forehead with her finger and said, "Is there grass growing in your brain? No wonder you were conned by your stepmother into staying unconscious for years. Can’t you use your brain a little? I meant you should hurry and recover so you can meet your nephews soon; you’re an uncle now."

Uncle?

Oh, Xiao Ye became excited.

Right! Five years ago, he acknowledged An Ge as his sister, so naturally, he’s an uncle now.

"Yes, yes, damn it, I’m an uncle now. I’d better get in shape before meeting my nephews; can’t scare them with this ghastly appearance."

Xiao Chaofeng spoke up at this moment, mocking, "Look at your pitiful demeanor. You have four or five cousins who are married with children, yet I’ve never seen you bond with their kids."

Xiao Ye snapped back, "Even if I’m worthless, I’m still better than you. I’m not like some people, who can’t control themselves after marriage and end up having kids with other women."

Xiao Ye’s words undoubtedly hit a nerve with Xiao Chaofeng.

Fuming, Xiao Chaofeng wanted to hit him but was intercepted by Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao stood protectively in front of Xiao Ye, her gaze cold as she mocked the livid Xiao Chaofeng, "Oh? You want to hit him for speaking the truth? Your marital infidelity with Nan Yun, resulting in a pregnancy, is an indisputable fact..."

Xiao Chaofeng, visibly agitated, spoke up, "I’ve already explained to you. What happened with Nan Yun was a mistake, and I didn’t expect her to get pregnant from just that one time..."

"Master Wu, you don’t need to explain anymore. I neither care to hear it nor does it matter to me. You avoiding me and my lawyer won’t make our marriage continue. I will file for divorce."

Nan Xiao paused, then added, "The capital market is brutal. Your company is publicly traded; once our divorce case becomes sensational, it could plunge you into debt overnight, collapsing the company you’ve run for over a decade. To avoid such a scenario, you should obediently sign the divorce agreement."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chaofeng’s eyes burned red.

He stared unblinkingly at Nan Xiao for a while before speaking, "Even in death, you can only be buried in the Xiao Family’s ancestral grave. You’ll never see me sign that divorce agreement this lifetime."

Nan Xiao regarded him for a moment and said, "Fine, if you don’t want a divorce. Make Nan Yun abort the child, give me custody of Xiao Jingchen, then send Nan Yun abroad, ensuring she never appears in my life again, and I won’t divorce you."

Finishing her words, Nan Xiao turned and left.

An Ge didn’t stay long in Xiao Ye’s room either; she was going to see Anna to discuss Huo Chenghuan’s condition.

Anna originally planned to leave the country with the Leo medical team but stayed back due to uncertainties about Huo Chenghuan’s surgery. An Ge hadn’t let her leave.

Their discussion with Anna lasted two hours.

They set the operation for Huo Chenghuan for the beginning of next month, early August.

With the date and surgery plan confirmed, An Ge went to find Young Master Huo.

He also needed a comprehensive check-up before the surgery.

An Ge found Young Master Huo in Huo Huaisang’s hospital room.

When she entered, Fu Rou was in a heated argument with Young Master Huo, both visibly agitated.

An Ge was immediately displeased.

They were arguing in front of Huo Huaisang, which was utterly inappropriate for adults.

An expression of displeasure formed on An Ge’s face as she approached them and said, "Couldn’t you discuss your issues elsewhere? Isn’t it inappropriate to argue like this in front of a child?"

Fu Rou’s eyes were somewhat red.

Her gaze fell on the pink diamond ring An Ge wore on her ring finger, forcing her to look away.

An Ge thought Fu Rou wanted to say something but refrained, likely due to Young Master Huo’s presence, and left the room without saying anything.

Afterwards, An Ge checked on the bed-ridden Huo Huaisang.

Apparently lacking energy, Huo Huaisang was drowsy, caught between sleep and wakefulness.

An Ge reached out and felt his forehead.

There was no fever.

Checking the monitoring equipment, everything seemed normal.

Her tension finally eased.

Having checked on Huo Huaisang, An Ge approached Young Master Huo, who stood by the window.

The man stood with his hands on his hips, his posture upright. He seemed to want a cigarette out of frustration.

But after pulling one out, he didn’t light it.

An Ge walked up to him and took the cigarette from his hand, looking at him and asking, "What were you arguing with your mother about just now? Was it because she objected to us remarrying?"

After she spoke, the man turned around, lifted her chin, and kissed her on the lips.

Initially, it was a gentle kiss, but Young Master Huo wanted more.

So, the kiss deepened, intense and passionate, growing into a nearly carnal fervor.
