Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Stirrings of Spring~

An Zhiguo stammered, "Al...all right, I’ll...I’ll arrange it tomorrow."

Huo Shaoyan no longer looked at him. Instead, he lowered his gaze to the little woman standing before him, her eyes red with emotion. His voice was cold and mocking,

"I am a man who keeps his promises. If I have promised you something, I will make sure it is done. But if you stir up trouble again by slandering or humiliating Baoying, even if the old lady shields you, I will not let you off lightly."

He paused, lifting his foot to lightly kick her shin, "What are you standing there for? Go apologize to Baoying now!"

Initially, An Ge felt grateful for Huo Shaoyan’s intervention. However, that gratitude quickly dissipated. It didn’t matter, though. She was about to see her mother soon. What did this humiliation matter compared to that?

An Ge took a deep breath and quickly walked to An Baoying’s bedside. With some satisfaction, she said to An Baoying,

"Apologies, those remarks I made earlier were just to create a rift between you and Young Master Huo. Please forgive me."

An Baoying, of course, did not want to embarrass An Ge in front of Huo Shaoyan. She graciously responded, "We’re all family. As long as you respect me as your elder sister in the future, I won’t take it to heart."

Though she was about to reunite with her mother, An Ge understood that the path ahead was even more challenging. She couldn’t afford to deeply offend An Baoying and her family of three.

With this in mind, An Ge didn’t bother with insincere pleasantries and quickly left Baoying’s hospital room.

As she passed by Huo Shaoyan, she paused for a few seconds and asked, "Young Master Huo, should I go back first, or wait for you downstairs?"

Huo Shaoyan ignored her. Instead, he instructed Qin Lang, "Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her cause trouble and embarrass herself again."

"Yes."

The late autumn wind carried a slight chill as the evening arrived. An Ge shivered as she stepped out of the hospital building, the wind biting into her skin.

Qin Lang followed her, observing her thin, forlorn figure. Overcome with a moment of compassion, he quickly caught up with her, saying,

"Ms. An Ge, if you’re cold, you can wait in the car. The Young Master should be down soon."

An Ge was indeed cold. She pulled her thin cardigan tighter around her and, somewhat embarrassed, said to Qin Lang,

"Actually, I’m more hungry. Could you get me something to eat?"

Having followed Huo Shaoyan through thick and thin for more than a decade, Qin Lang was fiercely loyal to him. Considering the woman before him, pregnant and soon to risk her life to transfuse blood to his master, he couldn’t neglect her.

He nodded and said, "I’ll take you to the car first. Tell me what you’d like to eat, and I’ll get it for you later."

An Ge thanked him, and under his escort, she soon sat in the car.

The car was indeed warmer than outside, but An Ge’s mood was unusually heavy. An Baoying was pregnant, while her own mother had acute leukemia. Given Bai Meilan’s personality, she would never readily agree to a bone marrow transplant for her mother, leaving An Ge in a passive position.

No, she had to find a way to gain the upper hand. Otherwise, both she and her mother could be at risk of their harm. An Baoying feared nothing more than the exposure of her past scandals. Although An Ge knew about Baoying’s colorful history with her men, she had no evidence.

If she could gather evidence quickly, she could seize the initiative. With this in mind, An Ge soon devised a strategy. She needed to quickly secure some money to hire a private investigator to gather evidence for her.

As An Ge plotted for the future, inside the hospital room, An Baoying’s enchanting almond-shaped eyes were fixed intently on Huo Shaoyan.

The man, dressed in a thin black trench coat, concealed a commanding figure, his handsome and striking features making it hard for anyone to look away. The thought of waking up beside this man every day made An Baoying’s heart flutter uncontrollably.

To completely win over this man, the biggest threat in her way was the need to get rid of this wretched An Ge. As she mused, An Baoying said, "Young Master Huo, may I make a small request of you?"
