Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 411: Baby

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Baby

An Ge’s pale lips moved slightly, she smiled and said:

"Sooner or later, I have to face it. It’s okay."

Gu Ru Yi: "You... have you had dinner?"

An Ge: "Not yet. I’ll just have the bodyguards get me something simple later..."

Gu Ru Yi listened and was angered.

She felt that Young Master Huo was spending romantic moments with other women, yet leaving An Ge alone in a cold hospital without care, absolutely infuriating.

But, she didn’t dare bring up Huo Shaoyan again, afraid An Ge would feel heartbroken.

Thus, Gu Ru Yi said:

"My hotel is at most ten minutes away from you, what do you want to eat, I’ll pack it and bring it to you?"

An Ge was indeed a little hungry, she said: "Soupy and watery is fine, easy to absorb."

Gu Ru Yi: "Okay. Wait for me. I’ll be over soon."

Ending the call with An Ge, Gu Ru Yi quickly found the hotel manager and instructed:

"Pack a portion of wonton, boil the wonton soft, then pack a steamed egg, a portion of old hen soup, and shrimp dumplings, be... quick."

"Alright, President Gu."

After Gu Ru Yi finished instructing, she bid farewell to Lu Jinnian,

"President Lu, I have some matters to attend to first, regarding the contract for this project, I’ll coordinate the details with the legal tomorrow and present it for your approval."

The man sitting in the shadows of the private room, hardly visible in features, spoke with a voice rich and smoky, pleasant to hear,

"Be safe. Contact me by phone if there’s anything."

Gu Ru Yi nodded slightly, then turned and left the private room.

As she collected the packed meal and was about to take the elevator, someone called her, "Second Miss Gu, wait."

At first, the voice was somewhat unfamiliar.

Gu Ru Yi turned around, seeing a sharply dressed man stride towards her.

As he approached, Gu Ru Yi quickly realized who he was.

He was Tang Jiuze, the head of Tang Ying Media.

Gu Ru Yi had heard some rumors about Tang Jiuze and An Ge, so she was quite wary,

"President Tang, is there something you need?"

Tang Jiuze joined her in the elevator, maintaining a gentlemanly distance, said:

"I want to see An Ge, but President Huo guards her too closely, so I’d like Second Miss Gu to help."

Gu Ru Yi refused without a thought,

"I can’t help you."

Tang Jiuze: "Second Miss Gu, I’ve something very important to discuss with An Ge. Please, you must help."

Gu Ru Yi raised an eyebrow: "Very important matter? What is it?"

Tang Jiuze nodded, said: "I suspect Qin Huaisheng is not dead."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ru Yi was utterly astonished,

"President Tang, you’re not joking with me?"

Tang Jiuze said: "Second Miss Gu, I wouldn’t make up such a huge lie just to meet An Ge."

Gu Ru Yi thought for a moment, said:

"President Huo sees you as a thorn in his side, you definitely can’t enter An Ge’s hospital room. How about this, give me a contact number and we’ll stay in touch by phone?"

Tang Jiuze gave a brief nod, leaving his contact with Gu Ru Yi.

Upon meeting An Ge, Gu Ru Yi relayed the matter to her.

After listening, An Ge decisively took out her phone and dialed Tang Jiuze’s number.

Naturally, the call didn’t go through.

Because, unknown to An Ge, Tang Jiuze’s number had been blacklisted by Huo Shaoyan.

An Ge removed Tang Jiuze’s number from the blacklist, dialing again, still it was an empty number.

Gu Ru Yi said: "President Huo must’ve meddled, he doesn’t want you to have any contact with Tang Jiuze, use my phone to call."

An Ge nodded, took the phone from Gu Ru Yi, quickly dialed Tang Jiuze’s number.

Once connected, Tang Jiuze’s voice came over the phone,

"These days, seeing you is harder than reaching heaven."

An Ge didn’t waste words, directly asked:

"You say... Qin Huaisheng isn’t dead, is that true? What evidence do you have? Didn’t your mother, Wen Qing, say she personally dressed her in burial clothes and watched her be cremated?"

Tang Jiuze replied: "She probably didn’t tell the truth. Recently, she got drunk and rambled a bit, saying she recalled seeing ghosts the night she dressed Qin Huaisheng in burial clothes,

she said she clearly saw the body sent into the furnace, but also saw it escape from the furnace... then there was a flash flood or something, so I suspect Qin Huaisheng might still be alive."

An Ge waited for Tang Jiuze to finish, "Is your mother Wen Qing in the Imperial City?"

"She went abroad for travel and hasn’t returned yet. But, I can bring her directly to the Imperial City."

An Ge thought for a moment, said: "I want to meet her."

Tang Jiuze said: "Okay." paused, "But I have a condition."

An Ge: "What condition?"

Tang Jiuze squinted, said: "Break up with Huo Shaoyan."

An Ge: "I’ve already divorced him..."

Tang Jiuze: "You may have divorced him, but you keep giving him hope and chances, you’re constantly entangled."

Tang Jiuze’s words made An Ge’s heart tremble slightly.

She pressed her lips for a moment, asked Tang Jiuze:

"I want to know, what’s your purpose in doing this. You surely aren’t still clinging to me..."

Tang Jiuze: "Darling, five years ago I didn’t win you, and five years later you’ve had several kids, I’m not holding onto you."

After a few seconds, with hidden meaning, "I’m undertaking a task on someone’s behalf."

An Ge: "On whose behalf?"

But Tang Jiuze didn’t intend to say more, "I’m not at liberty to disclose."

An Ge speculated: "Is it Gu Changfeng or Li Shaosi?"

In An Ge’s view, excluding the Fu Family’s elders, those most eager to pull her and Huo Shaoyan apart should be Gu Changfeng and Li Shaosi.

But, Tang Jiuze quickly responded to her guess, "Neither."

An Ge really couldn’t understand. If it wasn’t Gu Changfeng or Li Shaosi, who else could it be?

"Do I know this person?"

Tang Jiuze, however, was unwilling to say more and only replied:

"Barring any accidents, my mother should arrive in Imperial City in three days at night. By then, we’ll be in touch by phone."

After a pause,

"I hope before then, you can completely sever ties with President Huo. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you."

With that, he paused for a few seconds and added meaningfully,

"I heard that Qin Huaisheng might be your biological mother. Surely, you care about her life and death more than anyone else."

After speaking, he hung up An Ge’s call.

An Ge’s face didn’t look too good. Seeing this, Gu Ru Yi quickly asked, "You look pale. What did Tang Jiuze say to you?"

An Ge pursed her lips for a moment, recounted the conversation with Tang Jiuze to Gu Ru Yi, and said:

"I’m wondering, who could that person be?"

Gu Ru Yi thought for a moment and said:

"If it’s not Gu Changfeng or Li Shaosi, the one who wants to break you and President Huo apart seems to be... Mo Yuan, right?"

An Ge’s eyes constricted sharply for a few seconds, and after a while, she said: "Mo Yuan?"

Gu Ru Yi nodded:

"Don’t underestimate this Mo Yuan. Although she’s just returned to the country, she was very influential abroad. Maybe Tang Jiuze is under her thumb, so he has to work for Mo Yuan."

An Ge didn’t speak for a while.

Gu Ru Yi looked at An Ge worriedly, "Are you... really going to cut off all relations with President Huo because of this?"

"If Li Shaosi wasn’t lying, then I’m Qin Xiaoqi. So, Qin Huaisheng is my biological mother. If she’s still alive, I have no reason not to acknowledge her."

Gu Ru Yi looked at her with a complex expression,

"But doing this, you’ll offend President Huo."

After a pause, she added meaningfully,

"You have to know, repeatedly rejecting President Huo will eventually fill him with resentment..."

An Ge: "I have no better choice."

She could only offend Huo Shaoyan.

Even though she had long foreseen that there could be no good ending between her and Huo Shaoyan, when this day came, her heart still ached.

Gu Ru Yi: "But President Huo isn’t easy to shake off."

An Ge: "That’s because he still has hope. If that hope is gone, he will leave on his own without me having to say anything."

Gu Ru Yi: "What... do you plan to do?"

As the two were talking, Huo Shaoyan, who had disappeared for almost a day, returned.

He carried an insulated meal box in one hand and a bunch of fresh fruits in the other.

Seeing Gu Ru Yi, Huo Shaoyan’s brows immediately furrowed deeply,

"Weren’t you supposed to be accompanying Lu Jinnian for a social event? Why did you suddenly come here?"

Gu Ru Yi said:

"I thought President Huo was busy partying with a new flame and had no time to care for a poor friend like me, so I specially brought some food over in case she’d starve."

Upon hearing this, Huo Shaoyan’s face darkened, "Gu Ru Yi, stop being sarcastic with me..."

"Huo Shaoyan," An Ge called out to him at this moment, "I want to talk to you about Mo Yuan."

Huo Shaoyan’s face was so dark it could wring out water. He said coldly:

"Don’t listen to Gu Ru Yi’s nonsense. I did meet Mo Yuan last night, but it wasn’t how you think..."

An Ge: "Huo Shaoyan, did you look in the mirror when you came to see me?"

Huo Shaoyan’s brows almost creased into a single line, and he looked at An Ge silently.

At this moment, An Ge raised her hand and pointed at the collar of his white shirt,

"The lipstick stain on your collar, it must have been left by Ms. Mo Yuan when you weren’t paying attention."

Huo Shaoyan’s expression shook.

An Ge continued speaking, but the words were directed at Gu Ru Yi:

"You’d better go back. Otherwise, he might vent his anger on you."

Gu Ru Yi looked at her worriedly, "Are you sure you don’t need me to stay with you?"

An Ge replied, "I can handle it."

Gu Ru Yi: "Alright then, but make sure to call me if anything happens."

An Ge: "Okay."

After Gu Ru Yi left, An Ge said to Huo Shaoyan:

"Huo Shaoyan, perhaps my earlier attitude towards you wasn’t decisive enough, leading you to think we might have a chance. I... am now officially informing you, let’s not meet again in the future."

Huo Shaoyan’s phoenix eyes stared intently at her, the anger in his chest quickly rising,

His chest started to heave up and down.

"If it’s because of Mo Yuan that you’re suddenly turning against me, I can quickly handle things with her..."

"No."

An Ge looked at him, "It’s not because of Mo Yuan."

She pursed her lips for a moment, her voice turning very indifferent,

"It’s because... knowing you felt like a nightmare in my life. If I continue to be stuck in it, I won’t be able to live."

After a pause, with a meaningfully toned voice,

"So, let’s not meet anymore."

"What exactly does ’not meet anymore’ mean?"

Huo Shaoyan looked at her expressionlessly.

An Ge met his eyes filled with hostility and said:

"It means you disappear from my world, and I disappear from yours..."

Without thinking, Huo Shaoyan blurted out: "That’s impossible. Unless I die."

An Ge pursed her lips, "You can have all the custody of the child." After a few seconds, "I don’t want it."

Huo Shaoyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed once, his breathing heavy:

"Giving me full custody of the child? To disappear from my world, you’re willing to give up all custody of the child?"
