Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Pregnancy

It seemed that Young Master Huo was busy, so he didn’t answer her call. An Ge’s expression turned a bit somber. She took a moment to calm herself, and a few minutes later, she dialed the phone of Nanny Lin, who was taking care of Huo Chenghuan at the hospital.

"Nanny Lin, how is Huanhuan now?"

Nanny Lin replied cheerfully, "The Young Master Huo Huaisang, who is also hospitalized, came to accompany Ms. Huanhuan. Ms. Huanhuan is in a great mood. They had dinner together earlier, and I can tell they share a very good sibling bond."

An Ge was momentarily surprised and asked, "Is this... President Huo’s idea?"

Nanny Lin said, "Yes. Assistant Qin personally brought Young Master Huo over, and he said it was President Huo’s idea. He also mentioned that during their hospital stay, the two children can stay together."

Nanny Lin liked the two little ones, one being adorable and the other handsome, very much. With joy uncontained, she said, "The doctor says that if they can continue to stay this happy, it will help stabilize their condition. They might even be able to go home and recuperate in two or three days."

This was good news. An Ge also felt a bit of relief in her mood. She said, "Put the phone on for them; I want to chat with them a bit."

Hearing this, Nanny Lin walked over to Huo Chenghuan and Huo Huaisang, saying, "Your mom wants to talk to you."

Huo Chenghuan, ahead of Huo Huaisang, took the phone from Nanny Lin’s hand. She asked urgently, "Mommy, where did you go? Are you with that idiot Huo Dazha? I heard from Brother Shang that you’ve remarried. Is that true?"

An Ge didn’t hide it from Huo Chenghuan, she hummed in agreement, "We did redo the marriage paperwork. Huanhuan, you..."

"Mommy, no matter what decision you make, Huanhuan will support you. But if Huo Dazha treats you badly, you must tell Brother Shang and me. We will definitely teach him a lesson, and we will never allow him to bully you."

An Ge was warmed by her words, and tears almost welled up. After a while, she said, "Baby, don’t worry, Mommy won’t let anyone bully her. How about your Brother Shang?"

Huo Chenghuan handed the phone to Huo Huaisang, "Brother Shang, here you go, Mommy wants to talk to you."

Huo Huaisang took the phone from An Ge’s hand and said, "Mom, don’t worry about my sister and me. I’ll take good care of her when you’re not around."

An Ge felt warmed once again and said, "Okay." She pursed her lips for a while, "Mom wants to tell you, from today on, you must never be alone with An Muxin, understand?"

Huo Huaisang realized something, "Mom, did she bully you?"

An Ge replied, "I suspect she’s colluding with An Baoying. They likely have guessed you are my son. I’m worried they might secretly work together to harm you and Huanhuan, so we must be extra careful from now on."

Huo Huaisang thought about it and said, "Okay. I will listen to you."

Pausing briefly, "Mom, when are you planning to tell Dad the truth? I feel like knowing the whole truth will better help our situation..."

An Ge thought of An Muxin’s pregnancy. An Muxin had a powerful background, and she was pregnant with Young Master Huo’s child. Revealing the truth to Young Master Huo now wouldn’t bring justice but would alert her and provide no evidence of her committing any harm to Huo Huaisang.

Thinking of this, An Ge said to Huo Huaisang, "I suspect that your illness was caused by An Muxin. Your illness, which Aunt Anna and I carefully researched, was caused by radiation, and the only person who could harm you silently with such conditions is An Muxin."

Huo Huaisang thought of something and told An Ge, "During every winter and summer vacation, I go with Grandma to the Fu Family in Imperial City, during which An Muxin would take me to the An Family’s ancestral home to play. In the abandoned backyard of the An Family’s ancestral home, there’s a place that looks like a lab, which she took me to visit once."

Huo Huaisang’s words confirmed An Ge’s suspicions. An Ge said, "Alright, do not tell anyone about this for now; I’ll investigate."

After finishing the call with Huo Huaisang, An Ge called Lu Huai’an in the Imperial City. After telling him all that had happened, she said to Lu Huai’an, "Can you have someone secretly investigate the An Family’s ancestral home or their affiliated enterprises to see if there is an illegal lab?"

Lu Huai’an hummed in agreement, "Got it." Pausing for a moment, he asked, "Has my worthless new wife contacted you recently?"

An Ge was surprised, "What happened? Did she run away from home?"

Indeed, Gu Ru Yi was not at the Lu Family last night, and she hadn’t been seen throughout the day. Moreover, she wasn’t answering calls, messages went unread, and now her phone was even turned off. Although Lu Huai’an had no feelings for his worthless wife, the elders at home liked her, especially his mother, An Mingzhu, who dearly treats Gu Ru Yi like her own daughter. Unable to find her, An Mingzhu was now causing trouble for Lu Huai’an. Lu Huai’an, being known for his filial piety, was annoyed by An Mingzhu’s pestering and hence asked An Ge. However, An Ge’s words carried clear sarcasm, which displeased him greatly.

Lu Huai’an got a bit angry right away, "Are you mocking me? Just answer, has she been in touch with you?"

An Ge confessed, "No. I’ve only met Mrs. Lu a couple of times; we’re not familiar with each other. Even if she’s upset, she should reach out to her close friends, not me."

Having said that, An Ge ended the call with Lu Huai’an.

After hanging up, she went out to find Young Master Huo. After searching around but not being able to find him, she was about to call him when a familiar voice sounded from behind her, "Ms. An Ge?"

The voice was familiar, though An Ge couldn’t immediately pinpoint whose it was. She turned around, looking towards the direction of the voice, and saw Gu Ru Yi standing beside a fountain in a white suit.

Now, compared to before, Gu Ru Yi exuded an air of a powerful businesswoman from head to toe. Her hair was pulled up high, forming a particularly rigid and outdated bun at the back of her head, with her makeup being both exquisite and professional.

Seeing Gu Ru Yi here, An Ge was quite surprised, "You... Why are you here?"

Gu Ru Yi replied with a smile, "I have a project in Jingcheng, and I arranged to meet a client here for a contract."

Pausing, she then asked, "And you? I heard your daughter is in serious condition. How do you have time to be here?"

An Ge, feeling a bit at a loss for words, said, "I... came with President Huo."

Gu Ru Yi acknowledged with an ’oh,’ then said, "Are you leaving tonight? If not, let’s have dinner together?"

Whether or not to leave, An Ge felt she couldn’t decide and had to defer to Young Master Huo’s decision. Thus, she said, "I’m not sure."

Gu Ru Yi thought about it and suggested, "Let’s add each other on WeChat and stay in touch by phone later."

An Ge scanned the QR code to add Gu Ru Yi as a friend, then said, "Lu Huai’an just inquired about you earlier..." stopping mid-sentence, "Do you want to call him back?"

Gu Ru Yi chuckled lightly, "If he really wanted to find me, he’d find a way. He’s just doing this to please his mother, not because he’s genuinely worried about me."

Having scheduled a meeting with her client, Gu Ru Yi didn’t chat much longer with An Ge and left quickly.

Afterward, An Ge asked the staff there and found out that Young Master Huo and Jiang Fengmian were at the tea garden, so she walked over there.

It was summer, where days are long and nights are short. Although it was already past six in the evening, the sky was still extremely bright. An Ge, treading through the golden hour light, walked through the winding pathways, finally reaching the tea garden after ten minutes. Looking around, she saw endless lush green tea trees everywhere, yet there was no sign of Young Master Huo.

An Ge furrowed her brows slightly, just about to call Young Master Huo when she heard a man and woman arguing behind her.

The man’s voice was somewhat impatient, even remarkably cold, "What are you doing here?"

The woman’s voice was filled with grievance, "Can’t I be here? The environment here is perfect for someone like me, who needs to recuperate due to a lack of energy."

The man was increasingly impatient with the woman, "Pack up immediately; I’ll have someone send you back to Fengqiao Villa..."

The woman was unwilling, her voice breaking into sobs, resentfully saying, "Huo Shaoyan, you’re being excessive. I accepted that you don’t love me; I even agreed to give blood to your son; I accepted your remarriage with An Ge. I only wish to stay here for a while to recover, and you won’t even allow that?"

Young Master Huo had no patience left for her, coldly and deeply saying, "Don’t assume I don’t know whether you’re here to recuperate or for something else. Now, leave immediately."

Having heard about Young Master Huo’s remarriage with An Ge, An Muxin specifically sought out their whereabouts. She had come here deliberately to cause trouble. Now, being pregnant, even though the child had nothing to do with Young Master Huo, as long as she and Gu Changfeng didn’t disclose it, who would ever know?

She was certain that Young Master Huo wouldn’t tell An Ge about her pregnancy, and it wasn’t certain that Fu Rou would tell her either. Thus, An Muxin planned to take matters into her own hands, to unsettle An Ge. How could she possibly leave before seeing An Ge?

Therefore, An Muxin said, "Huo Shaoyan, ultimately, aren’t you just scared that An Ge will find out about my pregnancy? Rest assured, I won’t torment her for now..."

Pausing, and then threatening, "But if you continue to treat me harshly like this, I promise not only will she know, but everyone in the entire Imperial Country will know I carry your child and have been abandoned by you."

Hiding in the shadows, An Ge silently listened, feeling her heart gradually grow cold, wrapped in a chill of inexplicable unease... She believed that her decision to remarry Young Master Huo was the most disastrous choice she had made in years. Young Master Huo and An Muxin’s argument and involvement felt like a slap to her face, hitting her harshly. She now recalled what Young Master Huo had told her that day—

"If you remarry me, I can promise to be loyal to you in mind and body."

Thinking back to this now, it seemed utterly ridiculous!
