Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Accompanying for Prenatal Examination

Of course, before An Ge noticed that he was looking at her lower abdomen, he quickly averted his gaze.

He said to An Ge, "This time, my business trip is mainly to take my sister to see a psychiatric specialist to see if her illness can be treated."

An Ge nodded and asked, "Which specialist?"

Huo Shaoyan replied, "Professor Laura."

An Ge squinted her eyes. "Professor Laura from the Imperial Sixth Hospital?"

Huo Shaoyan gave a faint acknowledgment. "That’s right, him."

An Ge furrowed her brow and said,

"From what I know, Professor Laura seems to be An Muxin’s uncle-in-law. To the An Family, you’re the one who wronged and humiliated An Muxin. Now that you’re taking your sister to seek his help, I’m afraid you’ll just be shown the door."

She paused,

"Being turned away is a minor issue. If they harbor ill intent and harm your sister..."

Huo Shaoyan had considered this possibility.

However, he felt that the An Family wouldn’t dare.

After all, the An Family, although deeply entrenched in the political bureau, still relied on the Huo Family’s abundant financial resources for support.

Moreover, the Huo Family’s military manufacturing industry was highly advanced, which was precisely what the An Family needed most.

Of course, Huo Shaoyan had no intention of explaining all this to An Ge. Instead, he said, "I’m aware of what you’re saying."

An Ge felt there was no point in saying more, so she held back and said nothing further.

After finishing breakfast together, An Ge led Huo Shaoyan to the children’s room upstairs.

The two little ones were still asleep.

Huo Shaoyan stood by the bed, watching them silently for a long time before leaving the room.

An Ge waited for him in the living room outside.

When she saw him come out, she handed him a business card.

"This is Professor Wen. He has made great advancements in neurology. I suggest you consult him. He’s much more reliable than Professor Laura."

Huo Shaoyan accepted the card from her. He was indeed aware of Professor Wen but knew that Professor Wen was currently in M Continent.

So, he told An Ge,

"Professor Wen is in M Continent, Huaxia. Xinxin’s condition isn’t stable right now, so I won’t consider taking her abroad for the time being."

An Ge responded, "Suit yourself."

After saying this, she prepared to show him the door,

"You’ve had breakfast, and you’ve seen the kids. If you don’t leave now, you’re likely to delay your other affairs."

Huo Shaoyan took a step closer to her and then leaned down slightly, his gaze fixated on her. His voice, slightly hoarse, asked,

"...Do we still have a chance to reconcile?"

An Ge raised her eyebrows.

She looked up at him, her tone turning a little sarcastic,

"President Huo, what makes you think there’s still a chance for us to reconcile?"

Huo Shaoyan wanted to say, "Because you’re still willing to carry my child."

But the words were swallowed before they left his lips. Instead, he said,

"I’ll be in the Imperial City for three days. I’ll come see you all again in three days."

That very evening after Huo Shaoyan left, An Muxin sent An Ge a photo of her dining with Huo Shaoyan.

An Ge did not respond to it.

It wasn’t surprising to her that Huo Shaoyan sought An Muxin’s help to meet Professor Laura—it was the fastest shortcut.

What caught her attention, however, was An Muxin’s inability to remain composed.

After dining with Huo Shaoyan, An Muxin walked out of the private room with him.

When Huo Shaoyan was about to return to his hotel and reached the parking lot downstairs, An Muxin made a request:

"For the sake of the many years I’ve loved you, and all the times I’ve helped you, could you drop me off at my apartment?"

She paused, "If you take me home, I’ll arrange for you to meet my uncle tomorrow."

Huo Shaoyan declined her request, saying, "I’ll have the driver take you."

An Muxin bit down on her back teeth and said,

"Huo Shaoyan, I’m merely asking you to drop me off at my apartment, not to sleep with me. Can’t you even agree to such a small favor?"

Annoyed by her, Huo Shaoyan coldly retorted,

"If you’re unwilling to help, forget it. I have other ways of making Professor Laura meet me."

Though those alternatives would take more time, and he’d return to Jingcheng later than planned, it wasn’t impossible.

Upon hearing this, An Muxin had no choice but to retreat strategically and said,

"Fine, for the sake of the child I’m carrying, I’ll help you one more time. Come pick me up at my apartment at nine tomorrow morning."

With that, she got into her car.

Minutes after driving off, An Muxin called An Ge.

Despite her strong dislike for An Muxin, An Ge still picked up—principally out of the belief that knowing one’s enemy was essential for eventual victory.

Her voice cold as ice, she asked, "What do you want?"

An Muxin mocked,

"Oh, can’t I just call for a chat? An Ge, even though I’m in the Imperial City, I’ve heard plenty of gossip about you. I heard that,

you’ve been thrown out by Huo Shaoyan, becoming the most pitiful abandoned wife in the elite circles. You bore his children, yet in the end, you didn’t even get a penny from the family estate..."

An Ge snapped back coldly, "And? What does that have to do with you?"

An Muxin chuckled, "Nothing, really. It’s just that the thought of you suffering makes me feel quite delighted."

Uninterested in her derision, An Ge cut to the chase. "Fine. Why did you call? What do you actually want?"

An Muxin smirked and said,

"I heard that you’re now involved with my former bodyguard. People would hardly believe the two of you didn’t have an inappropriate relationship, given that he dared to stand up against Huo Shaoyan for you."

An Ge’s tone turned icy, "An Muxin, don’t attribute your own vile character to others..."

Cutting her off, An Muxin sneered,

"Oh, did you really sleep with him? Look at how flustered you are. It’s not like it’s anything scandalous. After all, you’re divorced now. At your age, having some physical needs and taking a man to bed is perfectly normal. I called just to tell you that Huo Shaoyan still cares about me,

or he wouldn’t be dining with me. And not only that, he even said he’d accompany me to a prenatal check-up tomorrow. He’s already agreed to let me keep our baby."

An Ge sneered, "Is that so?"

An Muxin’s voice chilled, "You don’t believe me?"

An Ge nonchalantly replied, "Does my belief matter? Your affairs have nothing to do with me."

An Muxin chuckled mockingly,

"True. You’ve already latched onto Gu Changfeng’s golden thigh—why would you care about a scummy ex-husband like Huo Shaoyan?"

An Ge stayed silent.

An Muxin added, "Alright, I won’t provoke you anymore. It’s boring. Let’s talk about something serious instead."

An Ge: "What do you want to discuss?"

An Muxin said, "Before An Baoying died, she did leave a Jade Pendant in my possession. If you want it back, come find me yourself to retrieve it."

After saying this, An Muxin hung up the call.

Shortly afterward, An Muxin called Cui Zhu, asking, "Have you made all the arrangements?"

At the time, Cui Zhu had already met with Lin Keke.

After picking up An Muxin’s call, she reported, "I’ve already spoken with Lin Keke."

An Muxin instructed Cui Zhu,

"Make sure she accomplishes the job as quickly as possible—An Ge must miscarry."

She paused,

"This time, just a miscarriage. Don’t kill her outright. I want her to suffer slowly."

Cui Zhu responded, "Understood."

After ending the call with An Muxin, Cui Zhu returned to the private room and said to Lin Keke,

"Did you understand everything I just told you?"

Terrified by Cui Zhu’s menacing aura, Lin Keke’s face turned pale. Trembling, she stammered, "Y-yes... I understand."

Cui Zhu sternly warned, "Within three days, make sure An Ge miscarries, or it will be your life at stake. Got it?"

Lin Keke stuttered, "I... I got it."

Five minutes later, a disguised Cui Zhu evaded surveillance as she left the private room.

Alone in the room, Lin Keke sat in a daze for a long time before making a bold decision.

She knew better than anyone that she was merely a pawn to An Muxin—a pawn that would be discarded once deemed useless.

Determined to secure an escape route before being eliminated, Lin Keke decided to call An Ge.

At that moment, An Ge was strolling with her two children in the garden of Castle Manor.

Fitted with a constant temperature system, the manor remained cool even during the scorching summer, and it had no troublesome mosquitoes.

The two children played barefoot in the lily pond, while An Ge sat on a stone by the water, mulling over An Muxin’s earlier phone call.

An Muxin had said the Jade Pendant was in her possession. An Ge debated whether to ask Gu Changfeng for help in retrieving it from her.

After all, Gu Changfeng, holding leverage over An Muxin, would likely achieve better results than she could on her own.

Just as An Ge decided to call Gu Changfeng, an incoming call from an unknown number interrupted her.

Few had her private number, so after hesitating for a few seconds, she answered.

"Hello, who is this?"

Lin Keke hadn’t expected An Ge to answer so easily; she thought it would be much harder.

Nervous and trembling, Lin Keke asked, "Hello, is this Mrs. Huo? I’m Lin Keke— we’ve met before."

An Ge vaguely remembered her. "What do you want?"

Lin Keke replied, "I have something very important to tell you—something concerning your personal safety. Can we meet in person?"

An Ge frowned, "Oh?"

Lin Keke’s voice shook even more as she said,

"Just now... a woman named Cui Zhu came to see me..."

An Ge’s eyes narrowed sharply in suspicion.

She knew Cui Zhu was An Muxin’s trusted confidant.

Quickly, she told Lin Keke,

"If you’re safe now, come to Castle Manor directly. If it’s inconvenient, I’ll have someone pick you up."

Afraid that someone might be watching her, Lin Keke said,

"I’m not sure if anyone’s keeping an eye on me. I’ll take the metro to Taiguli station later—have someone meet me there."

She paused briefly to explain,

"Taiguli is a historic street with plenty of people. It’ll be easier to shake off any tail."

An Ge acknowledged that Lin Keke, young as she was, showed remarkable caution and resourcefulness.

But given how treacherous human nature could be, An Ge remained wary of Lin Keke’s motives despite her intelligence.

She responded with a simple, "Okay."
