Chapter 350: Chapter 350 He Had a Change of Heart

Just as they were talking, Lin Keke’s call came through on Huo Shaoyan’s phone again.

"President Huo, something’s wrong! Ms. Huo... she’s passed out..."

Huo Shaoyan’s face instantly turned ice-cold, and his voice grew panicked. "I’ll head over immediately."

After saying this, Huo Shaoyan abruptly ended Lin Keke’s call.

Then, he turned to An Ge:

"You must’ve heard from Gu Changfeng about my sister. She’s fainted from a high fever, and I need to go to the hospital."

He paused briefly,

"If you’re not comfortable staying here, you can take Huai Shang back to Castle Manor to stay. Once I’m done with things, I’ll come pick him up."

An Ge didn’t expect Huo Shaoyan to willingly let her take Huo Huaisang with her.

She was clearly taken aback.

She was stunned for a moment before finally opening her mouth to say:

"Aren’t you worried I’ll just run off with him?"

Huo Shaoyan’s Phoenix Eyes narrowed slightly.

He stared at her for a moment in silence before saying, "You wouldn’t."

An Ge replied, "President Huo, don’t think so highly of my character. If the conditions are right, I definitely would..."

Huo Shaoyan unexpectedly chuckled,

"At least for now, you don’t have the conditions."

He paused briefly, then emphasized,

"Next week this month is the time for Huaisang’s serum treatment. Before that, you won’t be able to take him anywhere."

An Ge said nothing.

At this point, Huo Shaoyan beckoned to Huo Huaisang,

"Come out with me for a moment. Dad has something to say to you."

Huo Huaisang obediently put down his chopsticks and followed Huo Shaoyan out of the dining room.

Once outside, Huo Shaoyan asked Huo Huaisang:

"Did you already know long ago that your mom is pregnant with a little baby?"

Huo Huaisang looked slightly guilty.

He lowered his head without answering.

No one knows a child better than their parent.

Huo Shaoyan continued:

"I’m not going to scold you. At such a young age, knowing to protect your mother is a good thing."

He paused briefly,

"I’m talking to you about this because I want to tell you: the baby in your mom’s belly is still alive. We need to protect them together."

Hearing this, Huo Huaisang was completely shocked. "The baby is still alive?"

Huo Shaoyan nodded, "Yes. He’s still alive."

Huo Huaisang became visibly excited, and his expression became more animated.

He asked Huo Shaoyan, "So, Dad, what do you want me to do?"

Huo Shaoyan replied:

"I don’t need you to do anything. You just need to serve as the bridge between your mom and me. As long as you’re that bridge, our family won’t fall apart."

When Huo Shaoyan said this, his tone softened. After a pause, he grew earnest,

"Huaisang, I know you deeply yearn for a complete family. Give Dad a chance to prove it to you, to show that I can treat your mom well and take care of all of you. Okay?"

For the first time, Huo Huaisang saw deep emotion in Huo Shaoyan’s eyes.

He was moved by the heavy sentiment in his father’s gaze.

And so, he softened.

He pursed his lips. "Then... I’ll help you this once."

Huo Shaoyan’s expression softened as well. He raised a hand to gently ruffle Huo Huaisang’s hair. "Good boy."

After Huo Shaoyan left, Huo Huaisang returned to the dining room.

An Ge was quite curious about what Huo Shaoyan had said to him, so she asked, "What did your dad talk to you about?"

Huo Huaisang placed a shrimp ball onto An Ge’s plate,

"Dad said you’ve been in a bad mood lately and told me to take good care of you, not to make you angry."

Huo Huaisang had a tight mouth, and An Ge didn’t expect to pry any meaningful information from him.

She gave him a piece of fish and said, "Eat your meal first. Once you’re done, Mom will take you back to Castle Manor."

...

When they returned to Castle Manor, it was already 10 PM.

An Ge let Huo Huaisang and Huo Chenghuan sleep in the same room.

She read them a children’s storybook and only left after they were both asleep, returning to her own room.

After returning to her room and finishing her bath, Huo Shaoyan called.

An Ge answered, "Hello?"

Huo Shaoyan was at the hospital at the time.

Leaning against the wall, his voice was calm with a faint, indescribable warmth,

"Are Huaisang and the others asleep?"

An Ge responded with a soft hum, then casually asked, "How’s your sister?"

Huo Shaoyan said, "Just a regular viral fever. She’ll be fine after the IV drip finishes."

An Ge let out an "Oh," and then the conversation fell into silence.

After nearly two minutes of nothing but quiet, An Ge broke the silence,

"If there’s nothing else, hang up now. I’m going to sleep."

Huo Shaoyan replied with a hum, "I’ll come find you tomorrow if I get some free time."

An Ge frowned, "Are you planning to take Huaisang back?"

Huo Shaoyan said, "Don’t worry, I’m not taking Huaisang..."

An Ge sounded annoyed, "Then why are you coming to see me?"

"I’m bringing some food... and clothing... for the kids..."

An Ge cut him off, "Food and clothing, I already have plenty here..."

"Yours is yours, mine is mine."

Huo Shaoyan’s response left An Ge at a loss for words.

She said, "Suit yourself."

Huo Shaoyan hummed softly, "Take care of yourself. Don’t stay up late. Be good to your health."

Take care of my health? What’s with that?

He had never said such things to her before.

After hanging up on Huo Shaoyan, An Ge mulled over it for a while before remembering to reach out to Gu Ru Yi.

She sent a photo of herself and Gu Changfeng to Gu Ru Yi and then called her.

At that time, Gu Ru Yi was at Lu Huai’an’s new house.

But she wasn’t there to sleep; she was packing her things, planning never to return.

When Gu Ru Yi received the call from An Ge, she had almost finished packing up her valuables.

After seeing the photo An Ge had sent, Gu Ru Yi picked up the call and said:

"I saw the photo. Gu Changfeng... doesn’t look like Qin Jingzhi."

An Ge was a little unconvinced, "Not even a little?"

Gu Ru Yi replied, "Aside from the eyes, nothing else looks like him."

An Ge said, "After the Qin family massacre years ago, there was also a fire. Maybe Gu Changfeng’s current face is what Qin Jingzhi looks like post-surgery?"

Gu Ru Yi said, "That’s hard to say. Why are you so sure Gu Changfeng is connected to the Qin family?"

After recounting her recent experiences to Gu Ru Yi, An Ge said:

"I suspect Gu Changfeng and I share a bloodline. He’s subtly indicated that his family also perished, and he shows significant interest in the Qin case, which makes me think there’s a connection."

Gu Ru Yi responded:

"If you think there’s a blood relation, the most direct and effective method is to do a DNA test."

An Ge had considered this possibility but had reservations.

She pursed her lips and shared her concerns with Gu Ru Yi:

"I feel like DNA results might not fully clarify our connection. If we’re cousins, for instance, the test wouldn’t be helpful."

After a pause, "But it might be worth doing anyway."

Gu Ru Yi thought for a moment and asked, "From what you’re saying, Gu Changfeng doesn’t seem like a simple person?"

"Apparently, even President Huo couldn’t unearth his identity."

After saying this, An Ge shifted the topic and asked Gu Ru Yi,

"So is it confirmed that An Muxin tampered with your phone?"

Gu Ru Yi answered, "I checked the surveillance footage from the private room. It was indeed An Muxin."

Realizing trouble, An Ge quickly said,

"I need to let Gu Changfeng know about this to prevent An Muxin from scheming against him."

Gu Ru Yi replied, "Alright, go ahead."

After ending the call with An Ge, Gu Ru Yi dragged her suitcase downstairs.

Moments after she reached the ground floor, Lu Huai’an walked in through the front door.

His eyes immediately landed on the oversized suitcase she was wheeling with her.

His dark eyebrows furrowed as he suppressed his anger,

"Gu Ru Yi, you’re not a kid anymore. Are you seriously going to insist on this divorce?"

Gu Ru Yi responded with indifference,

"Exactly because I’m no longer young that I don’t want to waste my life on you. You’re still hung up on Gu Qinghuan, aren’t you? I’m making space for her; why do you seem dissatisfied?"

Lu Huai’an’s face turned ice-cold,

"I told you, it’s over between me and her..."

Gu Ru Yi approached him and interrupted with a smile:

"Chairman Lu, are you sure it’s over? Really?"

As she spoke, she reached out and patted his collar before pointing to the lipstick stain on it.

"Then tell me, who does this lipstick mark on your collar belong to?"

Lu Huai’an: "..."

Gu Ru Yi continued,

"Chairman Lu, let’s be honest. I once loved you recklessly and don’t regret that. But now, the music has stopped, and I ought to leave the stage. You should take a rest too."

With that, she pulled out two copies of their signed divorce agreement and tossed them on the coffee table,

"My signature’s already there. Take some time to sign yours, too."

After finishing her words, Gu Ru Yi wheeled her suitcase away without looking back.

...

In the meantime.

After her call with Gu Ru Yi, An Ge immediately dialed Gu Changfeng.

At that time, Gu Changfeng was in the Imperial City, standing outside the upscale apartment complex where An Muxin resided.

Leaning against his car door, he was finishing a cigarette when he saw An Ge’s call. He quickly stubbed it out and answered,

"Why are you still up this late? Didn’t I tell you that pregnant women shouldn’t stay up?"

An Ge couldn’t admit she had asked Gu Ru Yi to investigate him, so she could only discreetly warn him,

"I just wanted to remind you to be cautious of An Muxin. She might try to harm you."

Gu Changfeng let out a scornful laugh, "She wouldn’t dare."

An Ge said, "You’ve been her bodyguard for so long, so you should know better than me what kind of person she is. She’s probably even more ruthless than I imagine. I’m worried she might do something terrible to you..."

"No need to worry. I’ve got dirt on her. She won’t be able to cause much trouble."

At that moment, Gu Changfeng saw An Muxin’s car approaching from a distance, so he told An Ge,

"You’re pregnant. Save your energy and don’t overthink things. Rest well. Goodnight."

Ending the call with An Ge, Gu Changfeng walked toward An Muxin’s car.

An Muxin was in a good mood as she stepped out of the car.

Earlier that evening, she had met with Professor Laura and acquired the new M-type hallucinogen from her.

This hallucinogen required only a single drop to make its target completely submissive.

An Muxin planned to have Cui Zhu deliver it overnight to Lin Keke, instructing Lin Keke to use it against An Ge.

However, she never expected that as soon as she got out of the car, she would be intercepted by Gu Changfeng.
