Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Cherish her, Spoil her

An Muxin was so angry that she almost bit her lip through.

At that moment, Fu Rou stepped forward to speak on An Muxin’s behalf. She said,

"[Huo Shaoyan, aren’t you going too far? Even if you don’t like An Muxin, don’t you know how much effort she has put in for you over the years? How can you say such heartless words? Have you forgotten how many times she has donated blood for Huai Shang’s illness? Without An Muxin, our Huai Shang would have died of his illness a long time ago...]"

Huo Shaoyan lifted his eyes slightly to look at Fu Rou, who was immediately silenced by his menacing gaze.

Fu Rou was well aware that she couldn’t control Huo Shaoyan.

Realizing that she couldn’t persuade Huo Shaoyan, she turned her attention to An Ge.

She said to An Ge,

"An Ge, you can see, because of your meddling, the situation has become even more chaotic. An Muxin is now pregnant with my grandson, and her blood is the only cure for Huai Shang. Are you really willing to sacrifice my grandson’s life just to secure your position as Mrs. Huo?"

An Ge waited for Fu Rou to finish speaking and calmly expressed her stance,

"If Ms. An Muxin wants to give birth to President Huo’s child, that’s her personal choice. I won’t stop her nor interfere. As for whether she wants to use this child to make me give up the title of Mrs. Huo, I’m afraid I can’t do that."

An Ge paused for a moment and added,

"Because my marriage with President Huo isn’t something I can control by myself. You are his biological mother, so you should know his temper better than I do."

An Muxin, after listening to An Ge, suddenly let out a bitter laugh. She said,

"If you are so cold-blooded, aren’t you afraid that I won’t save Huo Huaisang’s life anymore because of this?"

She seemed to be speaking to Huo Shaoyan, but in fact, she was directing her words at An Ge.

Because she knew that Huo Huaisang was An Ge’s son.

After all, no biological mother in this world could bear to watch their own son die.

Thus, An Muxin had deliberately said this.

As An Muxin expected, An Ge finally looked at her because of her words.

Meeting her gaze, An Muxin said,

"Ms. An Ge, now that you’re Mrs. Huo, my pregnancy doesn’t affect your status, so why can’t you say something on my behalf?"

An Ge bit down on her back teeth, utterly shocked by this unique character.

It was true what they said: the bigger the forest, the more bizarre the birds.

An Ge took a deep breath and, after considering it, said,

"An Muxin, what do you want me to say for you? President Huo doesn’t want to acknowledge the child in your stomach. Even if I talk until I’m blue in the face, he may not acknowledge it. So, I can’t help you."

An Muxin stood up.

She walked up to An Jifeng and said to him, "Brother, I’ve given up. Take me back to [Imperial City’s An Family]."

An Jifeng looked down at her, "[Leaving like this, wouldn’t it be an injustice?]"

An Muxin’s eyes turned red, "Then are you going to stand up for me?"

An Jifeng raised his hand, gently rubbing the soft black hair on her head with a doting tone,

"Of course. You are our An Family’s only gem, and having suffered such humiliation and injustice outside, I have to make sure you get justice."

An Muxin cried, asking,

"Really? Then I want to marry Huo Shaoyan, only then can I vent my anger. Otherwise, I won’t be able to get over this hurdle in my life."

After An Muxin finished speaking, An Jifeng promised her,

"Even if you wanted a star from the sky, Big Brother would find a way to get it for you, let alone a man."

When An Jifeng finished speaking, he turned his gaze towards Huo Shaoyan and said, "Huo Shaoyan, can we talk alone?"

Huo Shaoyan refused, "I have nothing to talk about with you..."

An Jifeng smirked slightly and said with a smile,

"I heard you’ve been looking for Xiaoqi’s whereabouts all these years? I have some information about Xiaoqi, do you want to hear it?"

An Ge could clearly feel the tension in Huo Shaoyan’s whole body next to her because of what An Jifeng said.

Soon, Huo Shaoyan, seated next to her, stood up and walked over to An Jifeng, "[Where do you want to talk?]"

An Jifeng replied coldly, "The study."

Then, Huo Shaoyan led An Jifeng to the study upstairs.

Throughout the entire process, he didn’t even glance back at An Ge.

An Ge felt a bit of bitterness in her heart.

After so many years, she still couldn’t compare to Qin Xiaoqi in his heart.

After Huo Shaoyan went to the study upstairs with An Jifeng, An Ge planned on leaving Fengqiao Villa.

But just as she stood up, An Muxin called out to her, "Since you’re already here, why don’t you stay for lunch?"

An Ge looked at her coldly and said,

"I can’t eat while looking at you!"

An Muxin wore a slight smile,

"Then how about we chat alone? Perhaps talk about Young Master Huo’s condition? Aren’t you quite concerned about Young Master Huo?"

Fu Rou interrupted at this moment, advising An Muxin,

"Muxin, you’re pregnant now, and it’s best not to stay alone with her. What if she agitates you and harms the pregnancy?"

An Muxin reassured Fu Rou, saying, "Aunt Fu, I’ll be fine. I just want to have a simple talk with her."

Fu Rou hesitated, remaining worried, "Why don’t you both chat here? In case she harms you, I can still help you..."

An Ge cut in, addressing An Muxin,

"If you want to talk, do it quickly. I’ll only give you five minutes."

An Muxin invited An Ge to the small study downstairs.

As soon as the door to the room closed, An Muxin dropped all pretenses.

She got straight to the point with An Ge,

"An Ge, I’m sure Huo Shaoyan has told you by now, but your son Huo Huaisang can only be cured with my blood serum. So, regardless of whether I achieve my goal of becoming Mrs. Huo, I must clearly state that unless you leave Huo Shaoyan, I won’t provide the serum to save Huaisang. Otherwise, your son can only wait to die."

After she finished, An Ge responded, "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Huo Shaoyan the whole truth?"

An Muxin cut her off,

"What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, we’ll just fall out. By then, I’ll simply tell him I refuse to save your son, and what can he do to me?"

An Ge kept silent.

An Muxin stared at her for a moment, and then said,

"An Ge, you see it yourself. To this day, the one Brother Yan loves most in his heart is my cousin Qin Xiaoqi. Even if you remarry him, you can’t change the fact that you’re just a stand-in for my cousin. So, if I were you, I’d definitely find a way to take your children far away. Why stay here for humiliation?"

For An Ge, the best outcome was for her children to both remain safe and healthy, and then for her to take them far away from all this chaos.

In that light, An Muxin’s words struck a chord with An Ge.

However, she remained uncommitted.

An Muxin continued,

"An Ge, unlike me, you can’t tolerate Huo Shaoyan being surrounded by many women. Even though you’re Mrs. Huo now, and seem unaffected by the fact I’m pregnant with his child, I know deep down you’re disgusted. But for the sake of peace and saving your daughter’s life, you have no choice but to cooperate with Huo Shaoyan. Don’t you find it exhausting?"

...

An Ge came out of the small study five minutes later.

She stepped outside.

The sky was overcast, and the weather was oppressively hot with not a breath of wind.

An Ge felt a tightness in her chest, akin to the dark clouds rolling overhead, making her entire chest uncomfortably heavy.

She had come here in Huo Shaoyan’s car, and thinking of leaving, she could only get a taxi at Fengqiao Villa’s entrance.

Her mind was preoccupied, and as she reached the villa entrance, she accidentally bumped into someone from outside, almost stumbling due to her unsteady posture.

Fortunately, the person quickly grabbed her wrist, pulling her safely back up.

Still shaken, An Ge heard the person say,

"Should I address you as Ms. An Ge, or should I respectfully call you Mrs. Huo?"

An Ge, who had been lowering her head, looked up.

Her gaze met that of a man with black birthmarks covering half of his face.

He had almost no expression on his face, but his bright, story-laden eyes were mysterious enough to make her want to learn more.

An Ge opened her mouth and said,

"You’re An Muxin’s bodyguard, yet I feel you... bear no ill will towards me. I’d like to know why."

Gu Changfeng’s eyes barely skimmed over her delicate features before he bent down to pick up a fine White Jade Pendant that had fallen on the ground.

The pendant was a relic left behind by Qin Huaisheng that Fu Huaijin had given to An Ge. It was engraved with Qin Huaisheng’s name.

When Gu Changfeng picked up the pendant and saw Qin Huaisheng’s name, his pupils constricted violently, but he quickly collected his emotions, showing no sign of anything unusual.

He returned the pendant to An Ge, his voice indifferent as he said,

"I once had a clever and lively little sister. If she were alive, she’d be about your age."

An Ge took the pendant from him and tucked it into her bag, replying, "Thank you."

Pausing, she hinted,

"We encountered each other five years ago. But five years ago, you didn’t treat me this way. Even when I returned to the country, you weren’t the same as you are now. So your reason doesn’t hold."

Gu Changfeng raised a brow, his gaze lingering on her face for several seconds before he said,

"An Muxin is my master. I can only bury my sympathy for you deep inside."

An Ge looked at him, "Really? The last time someone tried to run me and my daughter down, it was at An Muxin’s behest, wasn’t it?"

Gu Changfeng squinted slightly.

After silently observing An Ge for a while, he finally said,

"Correct. When you first returned last time, your reappearance posed a huge threat to her. She felt her position as Mrs. Huo was in jeopardy, so she had murderous intent towards you and your child, ordering me to have someone teach you a lesson."

After pausing a moment, he continued,

"Of course, because I had sympathy for you, it turned out to be nothing more than a scare and neither you nor your daughter were hurt, right?"

An Ge asked,

"So you’re saying that because I remind you of your sister, you developed sympathy for me? Then what of your sister?"

Gu Changfeng pulled out a cigarette.

Placing it between his lips, he fetched a lighter from his pocket, and with the click of the lighter, the flame cast a glow upon his face.

He thought about his sister, the little girl who used to trail behind him, calling him Sixth Brother, and every time he remembered her, it felt like his heart was being cut by knives.

He loved her dearly.

To be precise, the entire Qin Family’s Six Brothers dearly loved and cherished her.
