Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 373: Compound

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Compound

Lin Keke thought this, but didn’t show it on her face.

She quickly said, "Ms. An, why would you assume the worst of others with such malice? If I truly harbored inappropriate thoughts about President Huo, I wouldn’t have acknowledged his mother as my godmother."

An Ge said with a half-smile, "That sounds reasonable."

After a pause, she asked Lin Keke, "Do you have a class at three in the afternoon? You should go back to school, so you don’t fall behind in your studies."

Lin Keke was deeply enamored with Huo Shaoyan and had finally gotten a chance to meet him. There was no way she would leave now.

So, she said:

"No worries, it’s a public course, and I’ve already studied it in advance. I’ll stay here to take care of you, and it’s not too late to leave when President Huo arrives."

Saying this, she quickly added,

"You haven’t eaten anything yet, I’ll go to the restaurant downstairs to pack some food for you."

Saying this, she hurriedly ran off before An Ge could refuse.

An Ge didn’t think much of it until Secretary Jin brought a fruit basket to see her and told her something that made her wary of Lin Keke.

After putting down the fruit basket, Secretary Jin pulled up a chair to sit next to her hospital bed, and with a puzzled expression, asked An Ge,

"Didn’t I tell you to be careful of that Lin Keke? Why do you still trust her so much?"

An Ge casually said while eating fruit slices cut by Secretary Jin:

"She has a bit of cleverness, but her mind isn’t malicious. What’s up? Did she do something unusual?"

Secretary Jin replied, "When I was on my way here, I accidentally overheard her conversation with that woman, Mo Yuan."

An Ge asked, "Did she say something she shouldn’t have?"

Secretary Jin said, "She told Mo Yuan that President Huo wants to remarry you, but your condition is that they must drive Mo Yuan and her son out of the Imperial Country, otherwise you won’t agree."

This was clearly malicious provocation.

An Ge frowned, losing her appetite for the fruit.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Secretary Jin, "What do you think her motive is for such malicious provocation?"

Secretary Jin thought An Ge was suffering from pregnancy forgetfulness, and her brain wasn’t functioning properly.

In a tone of someone disappointed:

"What else could it be? When two fight, the third one benefits. She obviously wants to be that third one. Think about it, if Mo Yuan fights you to the death, she would then have a chance to climb onto President Huo’s bed. This woman has had impure motives from the beginning; you should be more cautious."

An Ge acknowledged, her goodwill towards Secretary Jin increasing another notch.

She asked Secretary Jin, "How did you know I was in the hospital?"

Secretary Jin replied, "The CEO probably doesn’t trust that Lin Keke either, so he specifically sent me to accompany you."

An Ge responded with an "Oh," and started chatting with Secretary Jin intermittently.

While chatting, An Ge discovered that Secretary Jin was from Sea City, so she started to inquire, "Do you know about Hai City Li Family?"

Secretary Jin, being a native of Sea City, was very knowledgeable about the world’s financial center, Sea City.

Therefore, she quickly replied to An Ge:

"Of course. When it comes to prominent families being on equal footing, It would be the An Family in Imperial City, the Huo Family in Jingcheng, and the Li Family in Sea City, these three families are definitely the three on equal footing.

The Li Family in Sea City recently underwent a big change, with the new Family Head being Li Tianjue. It’s said that he was so ruthless in ascending to power that he assassinated his own siblings."

An Ge wasn’t interested in the internal family conflicts of Li Family; she was intrigued by Li Shaosi.

Thus, she inquired with Secretary Jin: "Do you know about Li Shaosi?"

Secretary Jin wasn’t aware of An Ge’s kidnapping incident from last night and asked, "Why are you inquiring about him?"

An Ge recounted her experience from last night to Secretary Jin and said:

"I think I can investigate the clues of my background from him, so I want to ask you about his situation."

Secretary Jin acknowledged with an "Oh," and said:

"I only know that Li Shaosi is a child born outside of marriage from the Li Family, and he grew up in the Qin Family in the Imperial City during his early years. Before the Qin Family was exterminated, it was said he was engaged to the Qin Family’s only daughter, Qin Xiaoqi.

After the Qin Family massacre, he acknowledged his lineage. However, he is very low-key, rarely appearing in the public eye. So, I’m not even sure what he looks like."

An Ge pondered for a few seconds, said: "He mentioned he’s recently being chased by the new Family Head of the Li Family, seems likely to be true."

Secretary Jin wasn’t surprised by this at all, she said:

"The internal affairs of the Li Family are chaotic. Things like father-son conflict over a woman are just child’s play. I heard Elder Li originally intended to pass the position of Family Head to Li Shaosi,

but somehow, right after Elder Li was buried, the inheritance fell into Li Tianjue’s hands. So, you should avoid interacting with people from the Li Family; they’re all ruthless wolves. Otherwise, President Huo wouldn’t show favor to Li Shaosi and receive him personally."

An Ge thought for a moment and said: "In your opinion, how is the relationship between Huo Shaoyan and Li Shaosi?"

"This I’m not too sure about. I only know that President Huo met Li Shaosi during their adolescent years at the Qin Family."

After a pause, she added with an implicit tone,

"President Huo was a disciple of Qin Huaisheng during his youthful years, and Li Shaosi was Qin Huaisheng’s godson. Anyway, the relationship is complicated."

No wonder Li Shaosi dared to ask Huo Shaoyan for twenty billion right off the bat.

Turns out, there’s some history between them.

After chatting for a while, Lin Keke returned.

However, Lin Keke wasn’t alone; she was accompanied by Huo Shaoyan, whom she encountered downstairs.

Secretary Jin saw Huo Shaoyan had arrived, she got up and walked to Lin Keke, saying to her:

"There’s no need for you here. Go back to school and attend your classes."

Lin Keke was very excited when she saw Huo Shaoyan downstairs just now, but Huo Shaoyan only gave her a cold nod and didn’t even want to talk to her.

At this moment, she wanted to find an opportunity to get noticed by Huo Shaoyan, but she ended up being driven away by Secretary Jin, leaving Lin Keke feeling entirely displeased.

However, she couldn’t lose her temper.

She could only endure it.

Thinking of this, Lin Keke placed the packed meal from the restaurant on the coffee table in the ward and then walked out with Secretary Jin.

When they got downstairs, Secretary Jin stopped Lin Keke, who was about to leave, saying, "Wait."

Honestly, Lin Keke was a bit afraid of Secretary Jin.

Especially when Secretary Jin looked at her coldly, giving her a feeling like she couldn’t hide anything.

Lin Keke looked at Secretary Jin timidly and said in a small voice, "Secretary... Secretary Jin, do you have any business with me?"

Secretary Jin glanced at her indifferently and said coldly,

"Lin Keke, from the first time I saw you, I clearly told you to take advantage of what President Huo has given you and focus on your studies. Yet you harbor ulterior motives and always dream unrealistic dreams..."

Lin Keke hurriedly denied it, "I... I don’t..."

Secretary Jin sneered, "Your eyes are practically glued to President Huo, and you say you don’t?"

Lin Keke became flushed with embarrassment and anger.

"Secretary Jin, I’ve no grievance with you, why do you maliciously speculate on me like this? President Huo’s mother is my godmother, in my eyes, I respect President Huo as an elder brother... How could I possibly have such filthy thoughts as you say..."

Secretary Jin sneered,

"Let me give you a piece of advice, Lin Keke: stay grounded. Just being President Huo’s mother’s god-daughter, you won’t live poorly in the future. But if you have deviant thoughts,

I guarantee your future will be worse than An Baoying’s. You know An Baoying, right? She was once a guest of honor of President Huo’s mother. And what happened? She died a tragic death falling from the building, her eyes couldn’t even be put back into her sockets."

Lin Keke was frightened pale by Secretary Jin’s words, and she fled in disarray.

...

On the other side.

In An Ge’s ward.

Huo Shaoyan walked to An Ge’s bedside and asked, "Lin Keke said you were feeling dizzy and unwell. Are you better now?"

Just now Anna came over to give An Ge some prenatal medicine, and she felt much better now.

"I’m much better already."

After An Ge finished speaking, she asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I was in a hurry to see you, so I haven’t eaten yet."

An Ge acknowledged with a sound and pointed to the meal Lin Keke had bought on the coffee table, "How about we eat together?"

Huo Shaoyan nodded, "Sure."

An Ge got up and got off the bed.

Huo Shaoyan reached out to support her, but An Ge avoided it.

Huo Shaoyan’s expression was somewhat displeased, but he said nothing.

After both of them were seated, Huo Shaoyan opened the meal boxes and handed the chopsticks to An Ge,

"Mo Qing is awake now, how are you planning to deal with him?"

An Ge took a sip of the flavorful chicken soup, thought for a moment, then looked up at Huo Shaoyan and asked, "Is he still insisting that the kidnapping has nothing to do with Mo Yuan?"

Huo Shaoyan nodded and said,

"He said that he overheard a conversation between Mo Yuan and Madam Mo and believed that your presence threatened Mo Yuan’s position in my heart, so he decided to kill."

An Ge pursed her lips for a moment and asked,

"In that case, deal with him however you see fit, after all, he didn’t actually harm me."

An Ge initially thought Huo Shaoyan would say something like handing him over to the police.

Instead, what he said made her particularly uncomfortable.

"Mo Yuan... contacted me."

An Ge’s fingers paused momentarily as she was drinking the soup, so much as if nothing had happened, she said, "I know."

Huo Shaoyan looked at her intensely for a while and explained,

"I owe her a favor, letting Mo Qing go is to repay her that favor."

The woman’s thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

She kept her head down, continuing to drink the rich and delicious chicken soup, the tone of her voice still calm.

"Mo Qing hasn’t done any substantial harm to me, so you can deal with him however you see fit, there’s no need to explain so much to me."

After a pause, she said with hidden meaning, "Actually, Mo Yuan also called me."

Huo Shaoyan’s pupils slightly trembled, and he asked An Ge, "Apart from Mo Qing’s matter, what else did she say to you?"

An Ge put down the spoon she used for drinking soup, looked up into his eyes, and smiled lightly,

"Can’t you guess? She wants to get back together with you, what do you think she could say to me?"
