Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Morning Sickness Discovered by President Huo

An Ge looked at the worry in his eyes, raised her hand gently, and rubbed the top of his head. Her voice was soft:

"It doesn’t hurt anymore. Did you have breakfast?"

Huo Huaisang nodded and responded, "Yes."

"I had breakfast with my sister this morning. Although my sister is a bit picky, she still behaved and ate all her breakfast."

An Ge felt somewhat relieved and looked at Huo Huaisang gently. "Then why didn’t she come with you?"

Huo Huaisang’s lips moved slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

An Ge realized something, shifted her gaze from Huo Huaisang to Huo Shaoyan, and said:

"Don’t tell me you forced those two apart and used Huanhuan as leverage to threaten Huaisang, making him help you win back my favor?"

Huo Shaoyan neither confirmed nor denied it.

An Ge’s face instantly darkened.

However, she couldn’t confront Huo Shaoyan in front of Huo Huaisang.

She took a deep breath and tried to maintain a calm tone as she said to Huo Huaisang:

"Huaisang, why don’t you go out and play with your Aunt Anna for a while? I need to talk with your dad alone, okay?"

Huo Huaisang nodded and then asked, "Will you fight?"

Before An Ge could answer, Huo Shaoyan spoke up, "We won’t."

Huo Huaisang was still uneasy. "Then promise me. Promise you won’t bully Mommy!"

Huo Shaoyan chuckled helplessly and made a gesture of promise to him. "Alright. Daddy promises."

Only then was Huo Huaisang reassured.

After he left with Anna, Huo Shaoyan pulled out a chair and sat down in front of An Ge.

An Ge’s gaze fell on the plate of fruit in front of them. She picked up a toothpick, speared a blueberry, and put it into her mouth.

Blueberries were supposed to be her favorite food, but the moment she bit into the skin of the blueberry, the taste made her nauseous, causing her to want to vomit.

In a few steps, she rushed into the bathroom, retching uncontrollably.

Huo Shaoyan quickly followed her.

After her violent bout of vomiting subsided, Huo Shaoyan’s brows furrowed deeply.

He handed An Ge a bottle of mineral water, and after she rinsed her mouth, his phoenix-like eyes instinctively fixed on her abdomen.

His voice was slightly hoarse, "You... could you be pregnant?"

An Ge’s face lacked any expression as her complexion turned pale, her gaze cold.

She leaned against the bathroom sink, raised her eyes to stare at Huo Shaoyan indifferently, and spoke with sarcasm:

"Pregnant? President Huo, you really dare to think. At a time like this, if I really were pregnant, I’d definitely not hesitate to terminate it."

After a pause, she added, "Because you’re not worth risking my life to give birth to a child for."

An Ge’s words were sharp, each one piercing Huo Shaoyan to the core.

His face darkened in an instant.

He stared at her without saying a word.

An Ge’s gaze met his, and sensing he might have dispelled the thought of her being pregnant, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already decided that after successfully performing surgery for Huanhuan and ensuring that Huo Huaisang’s illness was cured, she would take them both and leave.

Thus, she directly confronted Huo Shaoyan:

"So you’ve come to me, meaning you’ve already made up your mind? Last night, I told you we should divorce. I’ll take custody of the two children. Have you decided?"

Huo Shaoyan’s forehead veins bulged instantly. He forced himself to calm down and replied:

"I already made my stance clear last night. That’s an impossibility."

An Ge gazed at him dispassionately and said:

"Fine, then let’s talk about something possible. Tell me, what do you think is possible?"

Huo Shaoyan’s throat bobbed slightly. "Mrs. Huo, could you stop talking to me like this?"

An Ge smiled faintly and said:

"President Huo, how do you want me to talk to you then? I’m not like those women who surround you, coveting the illusion of your love. I have no expectations for you, and you still don’t understand that by now?"

Huo Shaoyan felt a dull ache in his heart.

His eyes reddened as his phoenix-like pupils fixed on her gaze without blinking.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "I’m not here today to discuss divorce or custody with you."

An Ge exited the bathroom.

Her voice apathetic, completely indifferent, she replied:

"Then what are you here for? Don’t tell me you think that sending roses through the children will make me greet you with a smile?"

Huo Shaoyan’s thin lips pursed as he watched her toss the bouquet of roses into the trash can.

After throwing the roses away, An Ge turned around.

Her gaze fell on his increasingly red-rimmed eyes. She smiled slightly and said:

"President Huo, I don’t care for you anymore, let alone a bouquet of roses you can buy with money. Don’t send them again—I don’t like them one bit."

Facing her sharp sarcasm, Huo Shaoyan seemed indifferent for once.

His gaze fell on the woman’s radiant face. His tone was calm as he said:

"Regarding this matter, the An Family’s eldest son will soon bring An Muxin here to offer you an apology."

An Ge gave a faint response and, looking at Huo Shaoyan with aloof amusement, asked:

"So, having her come to apologize—is this the final resolution President Huo intends for this matter?"

The warmth in Huo Shaoyan’s brows finally cooled.

After a long pause, he replied:

"You and I both know that Huaisang’s illness requires her blood serum to have any chance of a cure. Moreover, An Muxin is the only young lady of the An Family, and they won’t allow her to actually go to prison. So, this affair can only be settled privately..."

An Ge never truly expected this matter to send An Muxin to prison.

She was merely curious to see how far Huo Shaoyan’s tolerance for An Muxin would go.

She licked her dry lips, looked at Huo Shaoyan’s face, and smiled as she asked:

"Did it cross your mind that Huaisang’s strange illness might actually be man-made?"

The notion shocked Huo Shaoyan, his voice dropping several tones: "Man-made? What exactly are you implying?"

An Ge gazed into his eyes and said each word slowly: "I suspect Huaisang’s illness was caused by radiation. And the person with the motive and means to do such a thing—An Muxin—is the most suspicious."

Before An Ge could finish speaking, Huo Shaoyan interrupted:

"An Muxin may be arrogant and overbearing, but she wouldn’t be so malicious. She wouldn’t stoop to harming a young child just to secure a marriage into the Huo Family."

An Ge felt deeply disappointed.

Her gaze shifted away from Huo Shaoyan.

She walked over to the window, turned her back to him, and her voice now carried more than indifference—it was devoid of any warmth.

She said to Huo Shaoyan, her expression blank:

"She could join forces with An Baoying to plot harm against Mrs. Huo, and you somehow don’t think that’s malicious?"

An Muxin was Qin Xiaoqi’s cousin, and in his youth, Huo Shaoyan had spent some time with the young An Muxin.

In his recollection, An Muxin had been kind-hearted, unwilling to harm even a single ant. There was no way she could be this cruel.

For this reason, Huo Shaoyan believed An Ge’s speculation to be groundless.

Of course, he also knew that if he were to refute An Ge’s claim, she would certainly not respond kindly.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he said:

"I’ve already roughly investigated this incident. An Baoying was the main instigator. She despises you to the core and has been seeking revenge on you, aiming to destroy you.

When she learned that An Muxin was jealous of you as well, she contacted her and began plotting the scheme together. She convinced her over the phone to help procure a lethal leisure pill from the black market,

and An Muxin, believing the pill would only induce short-lived unconsciousness without causing death, foolishly collaborated with her..."

To An Ge, this was utter nonsense—not worth listening to.

At this moment, she turned around, looked at Huo Shaoyan, and coldly asked:

"This explanation came from An Muxin herself, didn’t it?"

Indeed, these were An Muxin’s tearful excuses.

But Huo Shaoyan, based on his understanding of her, thought it impossible for An Muxin to be so heartless as to commit a murder...

He responded to An Ge: "Yes, she said it." After a pause, he added, "While her actions were excessive and she deserves punishment, knowing her, I truly can’t believe she would purposely harm someone..."

An Ge sneered bitterly. "So, you believe her, don’t you?"

Huo Shaoyan slid one hand into his pocket, radiating an air of superiority.

He looked at An Ge and said:

"You claim Huaisang’s illness is her doing—then where’s your evidence? Even without concrete proof, shouldn’t there be some clues?"

An Ge chuckled coldly. "If I had solid evidence, would An Muxin still be breathing the free air outside?"

The implication being, she would’ve reported it to the police and had her arrested.

An Ge felt there was no need to communicate further with Huo Shaoyan.

The reason she raised the suspicion about Huo Huaisang’s illness being caused by An Muxin was that she held out a sliver of hope for Huo Shaoyan.

She thought if he was willing to listen to her, he might dedicate some effort to investigating the matter alongside her.

After all, two people working together would progress faster than her tackling it alone.

But Huo Shaoyan’s current attitude utterly disappointed her.

She found staying with him—even for just another second—suffocating.

Finally, she spoke, issuing a clear dismissal: "Leave. I need to rest now..."

Suddenly, Huo Shaoyan felt irritated by An Ge’s cold demeanor.

The irritation made him unwilling to lower his voice anymore with her.

His tone turned forceful as he said:

"Mrs. Huo, if you keep showing me this attitude, our relationship will remain at an impasse."

He paused briefly before continuing:

"But don’t worry. Focus on your recovery—take care of your health as necessary. I will ensure that both children’s illnesses are looked after. During your hospital stay, I won’t disturb you anymore."

An Ge’s brows furrowed deeply.

Her gaze locked onto his, the redness in her eyes intensifying. She said coldly:

"What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting you won’t let me see my children?"

Huo Shaoyan angrily noted how her usually emotionless face finally showed fluctuation, and a fleeting ruthlessness crossed his mind.

His thin lips curved upward, though his smile lacked any warmth—it was even tinged with cruelty.

He stared at An Ge and spoke casually:

"If you keep that scowling face, then that’s pretty much what I mean."
