Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 341: Kiss Marks

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Kiss Marks

An Ge struggled desperately.

But having just been discharged from the hospital, her physical strength had yet to fully recover. Her feeble resistance was no match for Jiang Dong, a man accustomed to working out.

Amid her despair, a shadow suddenly darted out.

She didn’t see clearly who it was—only felt that the figure appeared and struck the man’s head fiercely, aiming directly at the back of it.

In an instant, the man collapsed heavily within seconds and passed out.

An Ge, still shaken, heard a young woman’s voice near her ear, "Mrs. Huo, are you alright?"

An Ge raised her head, her gaze somewhat stunned as she looked at the young woman who had come to her rescue. "Lin... Miss Lin?"

Faced with An Ge’s shock, Lin Keke explained the reason for her appearance, saying:

"I came here to attend the banquet with President Huo. When we were downstairs, President Huo went to socialize. I figured you might not know he was here.

I thought about how you two have been at odds recently, so I asked Miss Jiang Qingyi about your whereabouts... I didn’t expect that when I found you, you were being harassed by someone. Luckily, I showed up in time, otherwise the misunderstanding between you and President Huo would’ve worsened."

An Ge had heard about Fu Rou formally recognizing Lin Keke as her goddaughter. Lin Keke attending such a grand banquet tonight with Huo Shaoyan was essentially announcing her identity to the public.

Thus, An Ge had no reason to doubt Lin Keke’s explanation.

She said to Lin Keke, "Thank you."

Lin Keke’s gaze briefly shifted from An Ge’s abdomen, her tone tinged with suggestion as she remarked:

"I heard... your child wasn’t saved. You must still be very weak. Please take care of yourself."

After thanking her again, An Ge asked Lin Keke, "Is Huo Shaoyan downstairs right now?"

Lin Keke replied, "He was downstairs when I came looking for you."

An Ge nodded, "Alright." Pausing for a moment, "Thank you for today’s help. Let me treat you to a meal someday."

Lin Keke said, "Mrs. Huo, you’re too polite. Anyone would step in to help when they encounter a situation like this."

An Ge said, "I need to see Huo Shaoyan about something. Let’s chat another day."

Lin Keke smiled and replied, "Alright, Mrs. Huo. Please go ahead and take care of your business."

An Ge, eager to meet Huo Shaoyan, quickly walked away.

Once An Ge had gone far enough, Lin Keke tucked away the utility knife she had been hiding.

After putting away the knife, she glanced at the unconscious Jiang Dong lying on the ground.

Though she wasn’t clear about Jiang Dong’s identity, she was certain he was a wealthy young man she couldn’t afford to cross.

Thinking of this, Lin Keke crouched down and reached out to shake Jiang Dong awake,

"Sir, sir, are you alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you? Sir..."

Jiang Dong felt dizzy and disoriented.

When Lin Keke managed to wake him, he immediately opened his eyes and was confronted by the stunningly beautiful face of the young girl.

In that instant, Jiang Dong felt like his mind had suddenly cleared up, even his drunken stupor subsiding considerably.

His eyes gleamed with predatory hunger as he stared at Lin Keke, "You..."

Lin Keke quickly took the initiative, saying:

"Sir, I was just passing by and saw you collapsed here, so I thought I’d check if you needed assistance... Sir, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Jiang Dong immediately attributed the assault that had knocked him out to An Ge.

With Lin Keke’s help, he stood up and asked her:

"Did you see another woman here just now?"

Lin Keke shook her head, "No..."

Pausing for a moment, her gaze swiftly scanned the area, confirming this was a blind spot with no surveillance cameras. She continued fabricating her story,

"There wasn’t anyone else here aside from you. Sir, you don’t seem to be in great shape. Shall I get a doctor for you?"

Jiang Dong was a notorious womanizer.

When things got wild, he could call for several women at a time.

But Lin Keke was fundamentally different from the women he’d played with before.

She embodied his ideal type completely, and on top of that, she seemed very young.

Deciding to take his time pursuing her, Jiang Dong said, "No need." Then added, "What’s your name?"

Lin Keke replied, "I’m Lin Keke, a first-year student at Jinchengg University, 19 years old this year..."

Hearing this, Jiang Dong’s excitement only grew.

Nineteen.

Fresh and young.

Unable to contain himself, Jiang Dong asked, "Nineteen? Have you ever dated anyone?"

Lin Keke wasn’t stupid and quickly realized Jiang Dong wasn’t a good apple.

Her goal was to pursue Huo Shaoyan; she had no intention of entangling herself with other entitled rich playboys.

Thinking of this, Lin Keke hastily said, "Sorry, I... I have something to attend to. Excuse me..."

With that, Lin Keke turned and fled.

Jiang Dong didn’t chase her immediately.

For him, a prey that caught his eye wouldn’t escape unless he decided to give up.

...

Elsewhere, Lin Keke bolted downstairs.

Fu Rou, seeing her agitated state, frowned in displeasure.

She reprimanded Lin Keke,

"You’re no longer some girl from a humble background. Now that I’ve recognized you as my goddaughter, your every word and action represents my reputation. Why are you acting so recklessly?"

Lin Keke, being scolded, looked a little embarrassed.

Her cheeks flushed as she tried to explain,

"I... I just saw... upstairs... a man... doing that kind of thing to... to Mrs. Huo..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Rou’s expression drastically changed, "What did you just say?"

Lin Keke hesitated, "Maybe... I was mistaken."

Just as her voice faded, a cold male voice lined with immense fury echoed from behind,

"Say that again."

Startled, Lin Keke turned to see Huo Shaoyan’s intimidating presence. Fearful, she bit the bullet and cautiously replied,

"I... I heard that you and Mrs. Huo haven’t been getting along. I just wanted to help. So earlier, I decided to find Mrs. Huo without telling you. With Miss Jiang’s help, I learned her precise location and went to her. But..."

She hesitated again,

"But when I got there, I found a man doing... doing that sort of thing to her..."

Huo Shaoyan’s face turned sinister, "What sort of thing?"

Lin Keke clarified, "The kind of thing a man does to a woman..."

As Lin Keke finished speaking, An Ge appeared.

Seeing An Ge, Lin Keke quickly added,

"Oh, fortunately, I arrived in time to help Mrs. Huo resolve the situation..."

Turning to the approaching An Ge, Lin Keke immediately asked, "Mrs. Huo, are you okay now?"

There was a bite mark on An Ge’s neck, clear impressions of teeth—evidently caused by a man.

An Ge had originally intended to look for Huo Shaoyan, but noticing the pain on her neck and her disheveled appearance, she chose to freshen up in the restroom first.

Unexpectedly, in such a brief period, the news of Jiang Dong assaulting her had already reached Huo Shaoyan’s ears.

From An Ge’s perspective, Lin Keke’s earlier words weren’t completely false.

Moreover, when Jiang Dong had assaulted her, Lin Keke had indeed intervened to help.

If Lin Keke had ill intentions, she wouldn’t have come to her aid.

For this reason, An Ge didn’t perceive Lin Keke as malicious.

After Lin Keke finished speaking, An Ge promptly replied, "It’s fine now. Thank you."

At that moment, Fu Rou let out a cold snicker:

"They say flies don’t swarm eggs without cracks. If you were a decent woman, would flies bother you? Lin Keke is no less attractive than you, yet no man harasses her. Perhaps you were sticking your rear out trying to seduce him?"

Hearing this, Huo Shaoyan shot a cold glare at Fu Rou, "Shut that foul mouth of yours!"

Fu Rou, enraged by his defiance, retorted:

"Huo Shaoyan, I’ve told you countless times—she’s trouble! You didn’t believe me. Do you really think the child she lost earlier was yours? Who knows if it wasn’t some bastard’s from outside!"

Surrounding guests began to gather.

Fu Rou spoke indiscreetly, her voice loud enough to draw attention from the crowd.

Soon, An Ge became the target of numerous scornful remarks.

"So that’s Mrs. Huo, huh?"

"Tch, she looks seductive enough. No wonder President Huo is so smitten with her."

"Did you hear? They’re supposedly splitting up—fighting over custody of the kids."

"Really? Why would they divorce? Didn’t Mrs. Huo secretly give birth to twins for President Huo? Doesn’t that make divorce unlikely?"

"Are you dumb? Didn’t Lady Fu just say that the child Mrs. Huo recently miscarried wasn’t President Huo’s but some other guy’s..."

"Ooooh, now I get it. No wonder President Huo is divorcing her. Turns out she cheated during the marriage—messing around with other men, living a scandalous life..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard President Huo still protects her fiercely."

"Right, right. Better watch what we say; otherwise, President Huo might send someone to cut out our tongues."

"..."

An Ge approached Huo Shaoyan, ignoring everyone’s chatter.

She didn’t care about their judgment.

She said to Huo Shaoyan, "Huo Shaoyan, can we talk in private?"

Huo Shaoyan, noting her thin and haggard face, replied expressionlessly, "The bite mark on your neck—who caused it?"
