Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 320: The Kiss

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Kiss

However, before this, Huo Shaoyan sent a text message to Secretary Jin.

[Resignation? Fine. But the employee benefits I promised you before—that villa—is now canceled!]

Seeing the text, Secretary Jin was so furious that she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn capitalist!"

Ma De!

She had worked for this despicable boss for a full ten years, fighting tooth and nail, making extraordinary contributions, and now she couldn’t even resign smoothly. It really pissed her off.

Even though she was complaining, Secretary Jin still showed up at Jingcheng Hospital half an hour later.

After gathering some information, she walked into Lin Keke’s hospital room.

At first glance at Lin Keke, Secretary Jin narrowed her eyes.

She thought to herself, of course, how could that scumbag boss suddenly become so compassionate and treat a woman so kindly? Turns out, this young woman bore a slight resemblance to An Ge.

Suppressing her inner thoughts, Secretary Jin approached Lin Keke’s hospital bed and said to her,

"Miss Lin, I’ve already looked into your situation. A caregiver will be here soon to take care of you. All the medical expenses incurred during your hospitalization will be covered by our president."

After a pause, she pulled out a check for $500,000 from her bag and handed it to her,

"This is a scholarship our president is funding for you."

Lin Keke had never seen so much money in her life.

Nor had she ever encountered a woman like Secretary Jin, exuding such a dominant professional aura.

At that moment, she became timid, not knowing what to say for quite a while...

She bit her lip and stammered for a long time before saying,

"...Thank you for President Huo’s kindness, but...I can’t accept so much money. My...my tuition for four years is, at most, $30,000. I..."

Secretary Jin, who had clawed her way up through a sea of women, could distinguish between good and bad characters at a glance.

She interrupted Lin Keke with a smile:

"Miss Lin, if you’re smart, you’ll take this $500,000 and focus on your studies."

After a pause, her tone became tinged with sarcasm,

"And don’t you dare have any improper thoughts. Our president is not only married but also has a pair of absolutely adorable twins."

Having her intentions directly exposed, Lin Keke, whose skin was particularly thin, instantly blushed crimson,

Her eyes became teary, making her look as if Secretary Jin had bullied her.

Secretary Jin had no patience for girls with impure intentions like her. After waiting for the caregiver to arrive, she promptly left.

As she exited Lin Keke’s room, she suddenly remembered that An Ge was also hospitalized here, so she inquired about it.

Five minutes later, she appeared in front of An Ge’s hospital room.

She said to the bodyguard stationed outside An Ge’s door, "Please inform her that Secretary Jin has something to discuss with her."

A minute later, An Ge saw Secretary Jin entering her room and raised an eyebrow, asking, "You’re looking for me?"

Secretary Jin glanced at An Ge, who didn’t look well, and then at her figure under the oversized hospital gown. She smirked and said mockingly,

"Miss An, why don’t you take better care of yourself? It’s been how long since I last saw you, and now you’re so thin your bra size has dropped two sizes?"

An Ge: "..."

Secretary Jin continued,

"Really, for a worthless scumbag, why torture yourself like this? I’ve told you before,

men are unreliable. If you crave the so-called warmth of love, just come find me. I guarantee I’ll take care of you so well..."

Unable to tolerate Secretary Jin’s outrageous words, An Ge interrupted her,

"Get to the point. Why are you here?"

Seeing An Ge had no interest in entertaining her, Secretary Jin quickly got to the point. After explaining the situation with Lin Keke, she said,

"To be frank, I really like your type—slim waist, big bust, long legs. Looks easy to handle.

But as the saying goes, it’s better to dismantle ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Since you and President Huo now have a son and a daughter,

I could never stoop to breaking up a family. So I’m here to give you a heads-up—if you’re serious about staying with President Huo, you ought to watch out for those restless little minxes.

Don’t let those enchantresses worm their way in. Otherwise, you might end up like An Muxin, with women all pregnant with President Huo’s children. How will you live then..."

As soon as Secretary Jin finished, Nan Xiao, who had just come out of the bathroom, walked over.

Secretary Jin recognized Nan Xiao and had heard a bit about her and Xiao Chaofeng.

She greeted Nan Xiao and, guessing that Nan Xiao had private matters to discuss with An Ge, tactfully left.

Before leaving, she mentioned to An Ge,

"That Lin Keke mentioned President Huo went to a convenience store to buy a pregnancy test."

Then, her gaze turned inscrutably toward An Ge, and she asked,

"Are you pregnant?"

An Ge’s entire body trembled at those words.

However, she quickly calmed herself and denied,

"Look at me, half-dead like this—does it look like I’m pregnant?"

Secretary Jin gave an "oh" and said,

"Good if you’re not. If you are, don’t have it. President Huo doesn’t deserve it!"

An Ge: "..."

After Secretary Jin left, Nan Xiao said to An Ge,

"You know, Secretary Jin might have a point. Since you can’t distance yourself from Huo Shaoyan, you should stay wary of those scheming fox spirits.

You don’t realize how hard some pretty young girls fight to climb the social ladder. Not too long ago,

there was a rumor about a college girl who got dumped by a wealthy heir when his mother disapproved. Out of spite, she got impregnated by the heir’s father and

ended up using the child to climb up as the heir’s stepmother. It’s the kind of thing that makes you nauseous."

An Ge knew Nan Xiao’s words came from a good place.

But now, she no longer had any affection left for Huo Shaoyan.

She didn’t care if other women threw themselves at him.

However, if something like that truly happened to her, it would indeed be revolting.

Thinking of this, An Ge said to Nan Xiao, "I’ll keep an eye out for stuff like that as best as I can."

After a pause, she asked Nan Xiao,

"What about you? Have you made up your mind? If Xiao Jingchen is your son, do you plan to get back together with Xiao Chaofeng?"

Nan Xiao thought about it and said,

"If Xiao Chaofeng can make Nan Yun terminate the pregnancy and promise never to have any contact with her again, I might consider reconciliation."

An Ge nodded, "Since you’ve made up your mind, go talk to Xiao Chaofeng."

Nan Xiao asked, "What about you? You can’t keep this hidden forever. When are you going to tell Huo Shaoyan that you’re pregnant?"

An Ge hesitated, lost in thought. After a while, she said,

"I haven’t decided yet. About this baby...I’m still not sure whether I want to keep it."

They talked for another ten minutes before Nan Xiao left.

Not long after Nan Xiao left, Huo Shaoyan appeared.

The first thing An Ge noticed was the convenience bag in his hand as he walked in.

Recalling Secretary Jin’s parting words, she quickly guessed what was inside.

Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and wasn’t flustered.

Huo Shaoyan made his way to her bedside with the convenience bag and said,

"I suspect you might be pregnant, so I bought some pregnancy tests. Go check."

An Ge raised an eyebrow and looked at him for a moment before asking,

"President Huo, if I am pregnant, should I keep the baby or not?"

Huo Shaoyan’s eyes never left hers, not missing a single expression on her face,

"If the baby poses a risk to your health, I would choose to terminate the pregnancy."

After a pause,

"Of course, the final decision is yours. Whatever you decide, I’ll support you."

Huo Shaoyan’s response was heartfelt.

An Ge’s attitude towards him softened slightly,

"Take the items to the bathroom first. I’ll check them in a bit..."

Huo Shaoyan interrupted her, "I’ll watch you test."

An Ge lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

She tilted her head to look at him, her expression hinting at mockery, "You don’t trust me?"

Huo Shaoyan gazed into her eyes,

"Mrs. Huo, you’ve lied to me too many times. I believe more in what I see with my own eyes."

An Ge nodded, took the convenience bag from his hand, and headed toward the bathroom.

Honestly speaking, with someone standing there, it was embarrassing, and she couldn’t pee.

After removing her pants, her face was burning red like crazy.

She tried a few times but couldn’t do it. Finally, she said to Huo Shaoyan,

"President Huo, could you turn around? I can’t pee with you watching..."

Huo Shaoyan assumed she couldn’t pull any tricks, so he complied by turning around.

Five minutes later, Huo Shaoyan stared at several pregnancy tests with their results already showing. Every single one had only one line. His chest felt inexplicably heavy.

Not pregnant?

An Ge watched his visibly somber expression and asked,

"I’m not pregnant. Are you disappointed?"

Her words caused Huo Shaoyan to lift his eyes and look at her,

"How could I be? We already have twins. I’m more than satisfied." After a pause, "If you really were pregnant, it would just be icing on the cake."

An Ge smirked slightly at him, saying,

"But you just said earlier that if being pregnant endangered my health, you’d make me terminate it. And now it’s icing on the cake?"

Huo Shaoyan cupped her face, his gaze deep and voice carrying a trace of tenderness,

"I just think that, given how fragile our relationship is now, if you were to bear my child,

maybe it could ease things between us. Of course, objectively speaking, given your congenital heart condition, not being pregnant is a good thing."

An Ge let out an "oh" and pushed away the hand holding her chin. "I’m tired. I’m going to sleep now."

With that, she walked out of the bathroom.

Huo Shaoyan didn’t follow her out immediately.

He stood by the sink, his gaze fixed on the pregnancy tests with their single lines, before finally looking away after a long time.

When he eventually stepped out of the bathroom, An Ge was already lying on the hospital bed, fast asleep.

She truly was exhausted; she had barely rested her head on the pillow before falling into a deep slumber.

Even when Huo Shaoyan climbed into bed beside her, holding her in his arms and kissing her, she was completely unaware.
