Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 398: Cherishing Her

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Cherishing Her

This statement hurt An Muxin more than if Huo Shaoyan had stabbed her with a knife, leaving her in unbearable pain.

She broke down emotionally and laughed mockingly, saying:

"So what? Even if I disgust you to the point of nausea, aren’t you still irresistibly drawn to my body? Don’t forget, not long ago, you woke up in my bed."

She paused, her face contorted in anger, roaring at Huo Shaoyan,

"Huo Shaoyan, I’m like a thorn buried in An Ge’s heart. You’ll never win that woman’s love... If you’ve got the guts, kill me now... Ha ha ha..."

An Muxin laughed like a lunatic.

Huo Shaoyan looked at her silently for a moment and then said to her, "You deserve to die, but not yet."

An Muxin fainted from the stress she couldn’t bear.

She woke up in a hospital bed.

By then, it was completely dark outside.

She sat up abruptly, and Cui Zhu quickly walked over to her, "Young lady, you really scared me."

An Muxin: "Why am I in the hospital?"

Cui Zhu explained:

"President Huo brought you here. He said you suddenly fainted. Fortunately, he brought you to the hospital in time, or else the child might not have survived."

As soon as An Muxin heard this, she instantly became uneasy.

She hurriedly asked, "Huo Shaoyan brought me here?"

Cui Zhu replied, "Yes. Huo Shao cares a lot about the child in your belly. He told the doctors involved in the rescue to save your child at all costs,

or they’d suffer the consequences. Also, the Commander heard about this and even called Young Master Huo to thank him."

An Muxin became even more uneasy and quickly said:

"No... Huo Shaoyan can’t be so kind. He must be trying to get back at me. What should I do... Cui Zhu, I might be done for, I..."

Cui Zhu saw An Muxin’s mood was off and quickly asked:

"Young lady, calm yourself first. Go over everything that happened with me one more time. If it really comes to it, we can seek help from the First Young Master. He cares about you a lot; he would never sit by and do nothing."

Ten minutes later, after listening to An Muxin’s explanation, Cui Zhu analyzed objectively:

"Young lady, I don’t think things are as serious as you imagine. The An Family, the Fu Family, and the Huo Family in Jingcheng, these three families are intricately connected, affecting the whole as one.

Young Master Huo would certainly consider the bigger picture and wouldn’t actually do anything to you. Besides, if he really doubted the child in your belly,

with the extent of his obsession with An Ge, he would have already brought up the idea of calling off the engagement with Mr. Fu and the Commander, instead of just frightening you."

Cui Zhu’s words calmed An Muxin’s collapsing mind. "Is it really that simple?"

Cui Zhu reassured her:

"Young lady, as of now, Young Master Huo doesn’t seem to have any intention of breaking off the engagement, so his anger this time is simply because you troubled An Ge."

Cui Zhu’s words once again eased An Muxin’s anxiety.

After calming down, she quickly instructed Cui Zhu, "Send someone to Jingcheng and fetch that wench Lin Keke for me."

Cui Zhu was surprised and asked, "Young lady, why are you capturing Lin Keke?"

"I suspect Lin Keke not only betrayed us but was also bought by An Ge. An Ge might not have had a miscarriage at all. I need to get to the bottom of this."

Considering the seriousness of the matter, Cui Zhu said to An Muxin, "Okay, I’ll arrange it in a bit."

...

Over at Xiangzhang Mansion, inside Li Shaosi’s old villa.

Dressed in a crisp suit, Li Shaosi came down from upstairs.

He walked straight to An Ge who was sitting on the sofa, speaking in a low and mellow voice, "Have you thought it over?"

On the way back from Mufu Manor, Li Shaosi had roughly explained his situation with Sheng Jinxia to An Ge.

After that, Li Shaosi had proposed the idea of getting a marriage certificate to An Ge once again.

At that time, An Ge told him she needed to think about it.

Now, being asked again by Li Shaosi, she still couldn’t give an answer.

An Ge pursed her lips for a moment and said to Li Shaosi:

"Sorry, I can’t rely on using you to get rid of Huo Shaoyan’s entanglement with me..."

Li Shaosi interrupted her, "I think you still have feelings left for him."

An Ge’s lips moved slightly, but she remained silent.

Li Shaosi looked at her with his peach blossom eyes for a while, saying,

"If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you."

He paused,

"But you need to understand, this is your best way to get rid of Huo Shaoyan."

An Ge: "No, this would only involve you." She paused and added emphatically, "Huo Shaoyan is a madman; he would retaliate against you..."

Li Shaosi curled his lips slightly, saying calmly: "Compared to madness, I’ve never lost. Do you think I’d be afraid of him?"

At this moment, Li Shaosi’s subordinate came in from outside, "Mr. Li, Ms. Sheng is here. Do you want to see her?"

Li Shaosi squinted his peach blossom eyes and said coldly, "No."

The subordinate said, "Ms. Sheng said she has something very important to discuss with you."

Li Shaosi asked in a deep voice, "What important matter?"

The subordinate replied, "Ms. Sheng didn’t say, but she mentioned that as long as you’re willing to see her, you definitely won’t be disappointed."

Li Shaosi was silent for a few seconds, then said: "Let her wait outside."

The subordinate: "Yes."

After this, Li Shaosi said to An Ge, "I won’t be back tonight, you rest well."

After Li Shaosi left, An Ge curled up on the sofa for a long time before a phone call brought her back to reality.

It was a call from Huo Huaisang.

"Mom, are you asleep?"

An Ge’s voice was a bit hoarse, but extremely gentle, "No. How about you?"

Huo Huaisang: "Mom, can you come out for a bit?"

As these words came out, An Ge suddenly sat up, "Are you outside?"

Huo Huaisang responded with a hum.

An Ge changed her shoes at the entrance inside and started walking towards the door, "With whom?"

"It’s... Dad brought me here."

An Ge’s footsteps halted; she didn’t want to see Huo Shaoyan.

Because she didn’t respond, Huo Huaisang’s voice soon came through the phone again, "Mom, if you don’t want to see us, you don’t have to force yourself..."

The more Huo Huaisang said this, the more uncomfortable An Ge felt.

She believed that the conflicts and misunderstandings between adults should not involve the children.

Thus, she quickly said, "Wait a moment, Mom will be right there."

Five minutes later, An Ge appeared under the old camphor tree at the gate of the old villa.

Huo Shaoyan was leading Huo Huaisang down from the car across the street.

He held Huo Huaisang with one hand and carried a pile of supplements with the other.

Soon, they reached her side.

Huo Shaoyan took the initiative, saying to An Ge:

"It’s not appropriate for you to live in Li Shaosi’s place..."

An Ge smiled slightly and asked:

"It’s not appropriate for me to live in Li Shaosi’s place, then where is appropriate? Yours?"

Facing An Ge’s sarcasm, Huo Shaoyan showed almost no emotional fluctuation,

he methodically said to An Ge, "You move in and live with Huaisang; both of you will stay at Mufu Manor..."

An Ge interrupted him:

"Do you think I haven’t been humiliated enough by your grandparents? Today, your grandmother can wake me up with cold water from the bed,

tomorrow, she can really have someone kill me without anyone knowing. Huo Shaoyan, I have had enough of you all.

Please don’t use the child to threaten me, and please don’t disturb my life anymore. Can’t we just leave each other alone?"

Huo Shaoyan immediately retorted, "No."

Pausing for a moment, he added,

"Until the child in your womb is safely born, our relationship cannot be severed. I have said it before, the custody of the child in your womb belongs to me."

He was domineering and forceful.

An Ge took a deep breath and said, "I won’t move."

Huo Shaoyan’s face sank, "You will move sooner or later."

After he finished speaking, he passed Huo Huaisang to An Ge, then turned around and left without saying a word.

An Ge held Huo Huaisang’s hand, her gaze serious.

She didn’t understand the purpose behind Huo Shaoyan’s actions.

Why did he send Huo Huaisang over to her in the dead of night?

What was his intention?

Was he worried that she might spark romance with Li Shaosi, using Huo Huaisang as a light bulb between them?

An Ge felt that it wasn’t solely for that reason.

After An Ge took Huo Huaisang back to Xiangzhang Mansion and waited for him to sleep, Huo Shaoyan’s call came in.

He succinctly said to An Ge:

"Tomorrow An Muxin will provide Huaisang with the third serum treatment, you bring him to Mufu Manor tomorrow."

An Ge seemed to understand his intention, she said, "I will send him there, but I will not move to live at Mufu Manor..."

Huo Shaoyan’s attitude was forceful: "If you don’t move, don’t expect An Muxin to provide Huaisang with serum treatment."

As soon as this was said, An Ge’s breathing became heavier.

She really didn’t expect Huo Shaoyan to have degenerated to the point of making jokes about his son’s life.

She took a deep breath, her voice couldn’t help but raise a few pitches, "Huo Shaoyan, don’t go too far!"

Huo Shaoyan sneered:

"Who is the one going too far? Carrying my child yet living at another man’s place, are you not regarding me at all?"

An Ge laughed in anger: "Regard you? Who are you to me? Why should I regard you?"

Huo Shaoyan was too lazy to waste words with her, "Tomorrow, I will be waiting for you at Mufu Manor."

After he finished speaking, he hung up An Ge’s call, leaving An Ge dizzy with anger.

That night, An Ge slept uneasily.

The other side.

After finishing the conversation with An Ge, Huo Shaoyan got out of the car.

In front was the brightly lit Phoenix City, a famous gold-sink in the Imperial City.

Huo Shaoyan entered Suite No. 1.

When he went in, someone was already waiting for him inside.

The man’s figure was exceptionally tall and upright, completely facing the window with his back to Huo Shaoyan.

After hearing the sound of him entering, the man turned around.

In the dim light, half of the man’s face was covered with hideous scars, looking as if hacked by an axe, but beneath the hacks were densely packed needle holes.

Thus, Huo Shaoyan could infer that this man had been subjected to inhuman abuse.

"President Huo, are you scared by my appearance?"

The man spoke first.

Huo Shaoyan sat down on the sofa in the suite, expressionless, and said:

"Now I understand why you would work for Gu Changfeng."

The man answered irrelevantly,

"President Huo, can I ask you a question? Is An Ge that woman your soft spot? I’ve heard you care for her and cherish her?"
