Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Prenatal Examination

Here is the translated text:

Then, the phone sank into a dull beeping tone.

Fu Rou stared at the screen of the phone that had just been hung up, a sharp glint flashing through her eyes.

She thought this was the best opportunity to break up Huo Shaoyan and An Ge.

If she missed this chance, it would be harder than ascending to heaven to separate them next time.

With this in mind, Fu Rou’s gaze fell on Lin Keke, who was holding an umbrella for her.

She said to Lin Keke:

"I truly didn’t expect that in my most helpless moment, there would be such a thoughtful girl like you accompanying me. Auntie feels a great affinity with you,

If you don’t have a place to stay in Jingcheng, why not move in to keep me company? I used to have a daughter too, but she’s no longer here... How about I take you in as my goddaughter?"

Lin Keke had deliberately approached Fu Rou.

But what she hadn’t anticipated was that Fu Rou would actually suggest making her her goddaughter.

Joy surged within Lin Keke’s heart, yet she didn’t show it on her face,

"Auntie, I really appreciate your kindness, but how could a girl like me, with such humble origins, be worthy of being your goddaughter? I was just feeling down earlier,

so I went for a stroll downstairs and happened to see you walking alone without an umbrella. That’s why I offered to hold the umbrella for you..."

Fu Rou thought Lin Keke looked very much like An Ge. Huo Shaoyan’s infatuation with An Ge was nothing more than his obsession with her face.

If she could use Lin Keke to defeat An Ge, that demoness, she didn’t care about Lin Keke’s background.

Besides, after she succeeded in breaking up An Ge and Huo Shaoyan, girls like Lin Keke could easily be sent away with some money.

With this thought, Fu Rou said to Lin Keke:

"Girl, you saved my son’s life, and I feel a strong connection with you. Let’s settle this matter then."

Lin Keke made a troubled expression,

"Since Auntie doesn’t mind my background, then... I’ll do as you say."

...

For over half a month, everything remained calm.

But during this period, An Ge, who was discharged earlier than Huo Shaoyan, had never gone to see him even once.

Half a month later, one afternoon, Huo Shaoyan was discharged.

He had lost quite a lot of weight, his figure now tall and slender like bamboo, yet in the crowd, he still stood out as the most striking presence.

An Ge had gone to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. Just as she stepped into the outpatient lobby, she bumped into Huo Shaoyan walking out from the inside.

With less than two meters between them, their gazes met in the air.

An Ge stared at him, dazed, intuitively feeling that he had become much thinner.

His excessive weight loss made his facial features even leaner and sharper, giving him an aura that felt even more icy and piercing.

An Ge thought, since they had bumped into each other, it was only polite to say hello.

However, she had barely taken two steps toward Huo Shaoyan when his gaze moved away from her, his steps shifting towards another exit.

At one of the exits, An Ge noticed Lin Keke appearing beside Fu Rou.

Lin Keke was holding a bouquet of lilies as she approached Huo Shaoyan,

"President Huo, I came with Aunt Fu to pick you up from the hospital. These are flowers I got for you—wishing you a speedy recovery, a future free of ailments, and good fortune..."

An Ge had thought that Huo Shaoyan wouldn’t accept the flowers from Lin Keke.

But she was wrong.

Not only did Huo Shaoyan reach out and take the bouquet of lilies from Lin Keke, he even asked her with noticeable concern:

"Have you prepared everything for enrollment? If not, I can arrange for someone to help you get it sorted out."

Lin Keke hadn’t expected that someone as indifferent toward her as Huo Shaoyan would care about her school admission process.

Immediately, Lin Keke’s eyes curved with joy as she replied:

"Everything’s settled; I’ll be starting in a week and joining the military training."

Lin Keke’s smile was sweet.

Of course, her smile bore an even closer resemblance to An Ge’s.

Huo Shaoyan’s gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he walked out the main door with them.

An Ge restrained herself from chasing after him to ask about the children—ask how long he intended to hide them before letting her see them.

These past weeks, she hadn’t gone to see Huo Shaoyan even once. Huo Shaoyan’s actions made it clear: he wasn’t someone who could be easily manipulated.

He had taken measures—to prevent An Ge from seeing the children.

An Ge had been busy trying to protect her pregnancy during this time, too drained to think about the children.

Now, seeing Huo Shaoyan’s attitude, she realized that the issue of custody wasn’t going to be easily negotiated.

An Ge quickly shifted her gaze away from their retreating silhouettes.

She went to meet Anna.

Thanks to the expedited green channel, her prenatal check-up was completed in half an hour.

Holding the test results, Anna said to An Ge:

"At the moment, the baby is developing well, with a stable heartbeat... But you’re too thin. If you want to keep the baby safe, you’ll need to boost your nutrition."

An Ge gave a distracted hum and said to Anna, "I just ran into Huo Shaoyan downstairs."

Anna raised an eyebrow, "And then?"

An Ge replied, "He ignored me."

Anna thought for a moment and remarked:

"When he was at his most desperate and needed you the most, you didn’t show up. Him ignoring you now is normal."

An Ge grew anxious, "Do you think he’ll really fight me for custody of the children because of this?"

Anna analyzed objectively:

"It’s hard to say. People can often be colder and more ruthless when their hopes have been dashed. You ignored his life and death before; now that he’s recovered,

the fact that he hasn’t sought revenge already shows incredible restraint. As for the custody battle, you’re at a disadvantage right now."

She paused, "Unless you go to him now, lower yourself, and beg him for leniency. Otherwise, it’ll be tough!"

After leaving Anna, An Ge spotted Jiang Qingyi downstairs, who was there to visit Jiang Fengmian.

Jiang Qingyi’s mother, Huo Nuan, was Mrs. Huo’s daughter, making her and Huo Shaoyan cousins.

Thus, she was aware of the recent conflicts between Huo Shaoyan and An Ge.

To be honest, Jiang Qingyi liked An Ge quite a bit after losing her memories.

Upon seeing An Ge, Jiang Qingyi immediately ran over, grabbed her hand, and said:

"An Ge, tonight is my grandma’s birthday banquet. Are you coming with my cousin?"

An Ge gave her a complicated look and replied, "Don’t you know things are really strained between me and Huo Shaoyan right now?"

Jiang Qingyi blinked, "I know—that’s exactly why I’m so worried about you two. You guys, honestly... You have two children together already,

It’s not some irreconcilable feud, so why would you end up like this? Are you planning to come tonight or not? I’ve already checked for you: my cousin

will bring your children to the banquet. I heard he hasn’t let you see them recently—you must really miss them, right?"

Jiang Qingyi’s words hit the bullseye, leaving An Ge emotionally torn.

Jiang Qingyi continued, "I happen to have an invitation card in my bag. Why don’t you come tonight and have a proper talk with my cousin?"

An Ge thought for a moment before taking the invitation card from Jiang Qingyi’s hand, saying, "Okay." She paused, "Thank you."

Jiang Qingyi smiled, "No need to thank me. We’re both women, after all."

After An Ge left, Jiang Qingyi looked up and saw Jiang Fengmian in his white coat walking toward her.

As soon as Jiang Qingyi’s eyes landed on him, her expression changed, her gaze turning cold,

"Why did you call me here?"

Jiang Fengmian had grown used to her frosty tone.

He approached her, his gaze falling on her spaghetti strap top and ultra-short skirt, "Dressed like this, anyone would think you’re a street punk."

Jiang Qingyi sneered, "I’ll wear what I want—what does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Fengmian’s brow furrowed slightly, his voice calm as he asked, "What were you talking about with An Ge just now?"

Jiang Qingyi answered truthfully, "I invited her to grandma’s birthday banquet tonight..."

Jiang Fengmian’s brows furrowed further, "Why do you always meddle in other people’s business?"

Jiang Qingyi was annoyed:

"How am I meddling? If she really breaks it off with my cousin, their kids will suffer. Children are the most scared of their parents not getting along..."

Jiang Fengmian felt a headache coming on and said coldly:

"At a time like this, everyone else is avoiding them like the plague, yet here you are, jumping into the mess. I think you’re just bored."

Jiang Qingyi responded languidly, "Yes, I’m bored. If I weren’t, I wouldn’t have come to the hospital because of your stupid call. So, what do you want?"

Jiang Fengmian didn’t reply.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket, found Huo Shaoyan’s number, and sent him a message:

"An Ge will attend the banquet tonight."

At that moment, Huo Shaoyan was handling the pile-up of work on his computer.

His phone was on the seat beside him.

When the phone chimed, he didn’t pay it any attention.

After approving several pressing project contracts, he finally picked up the phone and opened the unread message.

After reading the message, his expression remained completely unchanged.

He continued working on his tasks.

Back at Fengqiao Villa, he got out of the car with his laptop.

Fu Rou and Lin Keke stepped out of another vehicle.

Huo Shaoyan didn’t even glance at them and strode into the villa.

He headed straight upstairs to the study.

About half an hour later, Lin Keke knocked on the study door, carrying a plate of fruit.

Huo Shaoyan, still focused on his computer screen, called toward the door, "Come in."

Lin Keke pushed the door open and entered.

Looking at the tall, focused man working attentively at the computer screen, her heart beat wildly.

As Huo Shaoyan didn’t look up at her, engrossed in typing on the keyboard, Lin Keke didn’t dare to disturb him rashly.

She stood there for about five minutes before Huo Shaoyan glanced up at her briefly, "From now on, don’t come upstairs without my permission."

At his words, Lin Keke’s face instantly flushed red.

She felt extremely embarrassed, uncertain whether to stay or go.

Looking at the man who had already lowered his head to resume working without intending to acknowledge her further, she had no choice but to say awkwardly:

"It was Aunt Fu who asked me to bring you the fruit..."

Huo Shaoyan’s tone was cold and unyielding, "The staff at home can handle this." He paused, "You can leave now."
