Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Protecting the Shortcomings~

In response, Huo Shaoyan quickly took a stance, "That’s only natural."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lang led An Ge through the door. Huo Shaoyan glanced up at them, his gaze falling on An Ge, as he replayed the phone call with Jiang Fengmian in his mind. Jiang Fengmian had told him that this stubborn woman would risk her own life to give birth to a child of questionable origin—just thinking about it made him feel she was terribly foolish.

Huo Shaoyan soon withdrew his gaze and said to Bai Meilan,

"But marriage is a serious matter, requiring the opinions of Madam and my mother. Once we’ve discussed and set a date, I will personally come to formally propose."

At this, both Bai Meilan and An Baoying couldn’t hide their happiness, especially An Baoying.

Even though An Baoying was inwardly delighted to the extreme, she promptly kept her joyful expression in check and looked at An Ge with apparent concern, saying,

"Young Master Huo, I love you for who you are. As long as I can be with you and successfully give birth to our child, nothing else matters. I’m not too concerned about our marriage right now; I’m worried about my sister, An Ge..."

Hearing this, An Ge stepped up to the side of her hospital bed and sneered, "What about me, sis? Am I getting in the way of your marriage?"

"An Ge, you became pregnant before marriage with a child of unknown origin. I talked it over with father, and if you insist on having them, the An Family will certainly not turn its back on you and the child. But... how can you leverage this to become Madam Huo’s god-granddaughter? You’ve brought disgrace upon the entire An Family, and now you’re dragging the Huo Family into this as well?"

Upon hearing this, An Ge coldly laughed,

"An Baoying, let’s not be hypocritical. We’re both in the same unwed motherhood boat, so why do you think you’re better than me? Just because you’re carrying Young Master Huo’s child, you think it’s not shameful?"

She paused for a moment, then sarcastically added, "Besides, the child isn’t even born yet. How can you be so sure it’s Young Master Huo’s?"

As soon as she said this, before An Baoying could burst into anger, Bai Meilan almost immediately swung her arm at An Ge in rage.

However, the slap never landed.

Her wrist was caught with an overwhelming force.

Bai Meilan instinctively looked towards the source of the strength, finding herself facing Huo Shaoyan’s expressionless, handsome face.

In disbelief, she asked, "Young Master Huo, are you defending this shameless, indecent girl? It’s one thing for her to slander Baoying, but to humiliate your child with Baoying..."

Huo Shaoyan released her, his Phoenix Eyes glaring coldly at her, saying,

"She may be reckless and shameless, but she is now part of the Huo Family and under Madam’s protection. No one can touch her except me and Madam, understand?"

Bai Meilan: "..."

Huo Shaoyan continued, but this time he addressed An Ge, "Apologize to Baoying, or don’t blame me for being coldhearted."

Meanwhile, downstairs, An Zhiguo had just finished talking on the phone with Boss Wu and walked in.

The tense atmosphere in the hospital room hit him as soon as he entered, taking his breath away. He quickly approached Huo Shaoyan, cautiously asking,

"Young Master Huo, what... what’s going on? Did this wretched girl, An Ge, anger you? Please... don’t be upset—I will take care of this for you right away!"

As he finished speaking, An Zhiguo, without asking questions, swung his hand toward An Ge’s face.

Even though Huo Shaoyan reacted quickly, An Zhiguo’s hit reddened An Ge’s jaw nonetheless.

An Zhiguo had a strong arm, and An Ge, unable to dodge, stepped back several paces as a result of the blow.

As she lost her balance and began to fall, she instinctively grabbed onto something.

It wasn’t until she had steadied herself that she realized what she had grasped.

Her heart pounded frantically, and she looked up to meet the man’s cold, downward gaze. She stammered, "I... I didn’t mean to..."
