Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Kissed

It wasn’t that An Ge was willing to give up custody of the children.

It’s because, during her time in the hospital, she realized something.

With her current ability, she cannot ensure the safety of both children.

Li Shaosi said she is Qin Xiaoqi, so she cannot ignore the annihilation of the Qin family;

If Qin Huaisheng were still alive, she couldn’t possibly not seek her whereabouts...

And Gu Changfeng has so many enemies; being someone Gu Changfeng cares about, she cannot possibly stay out of harm’s way...

In short, her current situation is very unsafe.

If it weren’t for the protection from multiple forces like Huo Shaoyan, Gu Changfeng, and Li Shaosi, she would have died the night she bled heavily in the detention center.

Even if she hadn’t died, she couldn’t possibly have survived being pushed off the operating table.

Therefore, An Ge felt that the children wouldn’t be safe with her.

Huo Shaoyan didn’t know An Ge’s true thoughts.

He was just so agitated by her words that he couldn’t control his emotions,

But on the surface, only his Phoenix Eyes appeared bloodthirsty and dense, with no other special expressions.

He looked at her for quite a while, suppressing the anger in his chest, and spoke in a deep voice:

"I just assume you are in a bad mood because of the loss of the children. We’ll talk about this again once you’re discharged and your emotions have stabilized."

An Ge knew that just her few words couldn’t make Huo Shaoyan give up bothering her.

She had said all she could.

After that, she ignored Huo Shaoyan and didn’t eat the dinner he brought.

At first, Huo Shaoyan didn’t care about her indifference either.

Until, in the evening, when he brought a folding bed with the intention to stay over, the woman who had been unwilling to pay any attention to him suddenly sat up.

Huo Shaoyan’s action of making the bed paused for a few seconds. He straightened up, lowered his eyes to look at the woman who sat up suddenly, frowning, "What’s wrong?"

An Ge raised her hand to tidy her black short hair blocking her vision.

With her hair cut short, as soon as she slightly lowered her head, the drooping black hair easily covered her eyes.

She tucked her obstructive short hair behind her ear and looked at the man’s seemingly calm Phoenix Eyes, which were nurturing a storm, with an expressionless face and a commanding tone:

"I don’t need you to stay overnight."

Huo Shaoyan’s thin lips turned cold, soon bowed his head and bit her lips, coldly saying:

"An Xiaoge, I’ve already expressed my position to you. We’ll talk about completely breaking up when you’re discharged. So, don’t make trouble for no reason."

After saying that, he took his toiletries and turned to the in-room bathroom.

Cold water poured down from the top, chilling to the core.

But this coldness dispersed the irritation accumulated on Huo Shaoyan’s chest.

His brain began to work quickly.

Why was An Ge’s attitude so resolute in wanting a clean break with him?

She would rather give up custody of the two children to sever ties with him; there must be a reason.

Thinking of this, after turning off the tap and changing clothes, Huo Shaoyan picked up his phone and car keys.

By then, An Ge had turned to the side of the hospital bed, seemingly asleep.

Huo Shaoyan knew she wasn’t sleeping; she just didn’t want to deal with him.

Huo Shaoyan stood in front of the hospital bed, looking at her back for a long silent moment before speaking:

"I know you’re still awake. I’m going out for a while, and I’ll be back later."

After saying that, he switched off the bright lights in the ward, turning on a dim standing lamp instead.

Having done all this, he left the ward shortly after.

Only when the sound of opening and closing the door echoed at the ward’s entrance did An Ge turn around.

In the warm-colored light, there was a deep layer of moisture hidden in her eyes, and her eyes were reddened.

She closed her eyes, calming the prickly pain in her heart, and when she reopened them, there was a calm serenity in them.

At this moment, the phone on the bedside table vibrated.

An unfamiliar caller ID displayed, but in An Ge’s subconscious, this call wasn’t simple.

She hesitated for just a second before answering the call.

"Hello?"

Soon a woman’s voice came through the phone’s receiver.

An Ge recognized it as Mo Yuan’s voice.

An Ge thought of the call with Tang Jiuze, so she went straight to the point and asked:

"Tang Jiuze contacted me tonight. He’s your person, right?"

At this time, Mo Yuan had already successfully moved into the Fu Mansion.

In front of her was a large picture window.

She looked down at the Fu Mansion outside the window, which was as bright as day even at night,

It was a place she had dreamed of for a long time, and after so many years, she finally lived there rightfully.

"Ms. An, what you’re saying isn’t correct. Mr. Tang and I only have a certain cooperative relationship."

Mo Yuan’s words were tantamount to acknowledging in a roundabout way that Tang Jiuze was with her.

An Ge’s voice was calm: "Is that so? May I ask why you called so late?"

A woman who recently had a miscarriage and was surrounded by negative news was so calm, which was rare in Mo Yuan’s view.

Curious, Mo Yuan asked, "Ms. An, I find it hard to understand why you are so calm?"

An Ge didn’t want to waste words with Mo Yuan and asked coldly: "Ms. Mo, we’re not close, if you have something, just say it straight."

Mo Yuan curved her lips into a slight smile and said, "Ms. An is straightforward, so I won’t beat around the bush with you."

An Ge: "I’m all ears."

Mo Yuan said, "Do you know why Gu Changfeng fell into Jerry’s trap and got so badly injured?"

An Ge asked, "Why?"

"Because of a woman."

An Ge was a bit surprised, "Because of a woman? Who?"

Mo Yuan spoke slowly, "Qin Huaisheng."

An Ge’s heart trembled from these words, and after a while, she finally said, "Really?"

Mo Yuan analyzed orderly:

"Specifically, I’m not sure. All I know is that Jerry sent Gu Changfeng a photo of a woman, saying that the woman is in his hands.

Gu Changfeng got trapped by Jerry because of the woman’s photo. At that time, I, together with Huo Shaoyan, chased all the way to the high seas, and amidst a fierce crossfire, barely managed to rescue him."

At this, she paused,

"When Gu Changfeng was not quite conscious, he mentioned Qin Huaisheng being in Jerry’s hands."

An Ge waited for her to finish, "So, what are you trying to tell me with this?"

Mo Yuan curled her lips and said:

"I heard that Gu Changfeng was the Sixth Son of the Qin Family, Qin Jingzhi, and you might be the Seventh Son of the Qin Family, Qin Xiaoqi. So, aren’t you interested in Qin Huaisheng’s whereabouts?"

An Ge pressed her lips for a moment, speaking coldly, "You’re certain I’d be interested in Qin Huaisheng’s whereabouts, so you let Tang Jiuze come to find me?"

Mo Yuan said, "I can’t be sure the woman in Jerry’s hands is Qin Huaisheng. But I can ensure that Tang Jiuze’s mother, Wen Qing, definitely knows about Qin Huaisheng’s situation back then.

I have some connections with Jerry. If Qin Huaisheng is really alive, as long as you cut ties with Huo Shaoyan completely, I will help you contact Jerry, help you confirm whether Qin Huaisheng is in his hands, and even help you demand her back. How about that?"

An Ge was shocked and didn’t speak for a while.

Mo Yuan continued, "No need to rush to give me an answer."

At this, she laughed,

"Ms. An, we are both women, I do sympathize with you. You’ve just had a miscarriage and are physically weak, the priority is to take care of your body. If a woman’s body is not well-nourished after a miscarriage, it may leave her with lasting problems."

After saying this, Mo Yuan hung up An Ge’s call.

After that, An Ge found it hard to calm down.

Just as she thought of calling Gu Changfeng to confirm the matter, a text message from Mo Yuan came through on her phone.

Message content:

I advise you not to go verify this matter with Gu Changfeng, his biggest worry is that the Qin family massacre revenge would drag you into it, he wouldn’t be honest with you. Also, how do you plan to explain his act of assaulting Huo Shaoxin to Huo Shaoyan?

After reading the text message, An Ge dialed back the number.

Mo Yuan didn’t refuse her call, "Ms. An?"

An Ge, feeling agitated, asked, "Don’t tell me, this affair between him and Huo Shaoxin was orchestrated by you and An Muxin together?"

Mo Yuan tugged her lips into a smile, saying:

"Ms. An, I wouldn’t do such stupid things that break the law and offend Huo Shaoyan. I just happened to bump into Gu Changfeng, who was drugged, embracing Huo Shaoxin and kissing madly, then went to a hotel to open a room... As for who framed them, I wasn’t involved."

An Ge took a deep breath, "Since you ran into it, why didn’t you stop it?"

Mo Yuan laughed softly,

"Why would I stop it? Should I sacrifice myself for that fool, Huo Shaoxin, and offer myself to Gu Changfeng? Besides, Gu Changfeng is not someone to mess with, why would I provoke him?"

An Ge: "..."

Mo Yuan continued:

"Ms. An, technically, even if Gu Changfeng isn’t your biological brother, he has to be some sort of cousin. He took advantage of Huo Shaoyan’s only sister, if this gets to Huo Shaoyan,

Huo Shaoyan certainly won’t let Gu Changfeng off easily. Of course, that idiot An Muxin, who wants to save her life, surely won’t speak of it. So if you don’t speak, I won’t either, this affair will likely go unnoticed."

An Ge, feeling agitated, asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Mo Yuan responded indifferently:

"Ms. An, self-preservation is natural. I am a woman and a mother, I must think for my son, Mo Rugu, am I wrong? You leave Huo Shaoyan, and we can discuss other matters. Not only discuss, I’ll help you look for Qin Huaisheng’s whereabouts."

An Ge, angered, said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Huo Shaoyan everything? You should know, Huo Shaoyan cares more than anyone about Qin Huaisheng’s whereabouts, Qin Huaisheng was his mentor and a life saver..."

Mo Yuan interrupted him, "Ms. An, I have Gu Changfeng and Huo Shaoxin’s explicit video, do you want Huo Shaoxin’s reputation ruined, or do you want Gu Changfeng jailed?"

An Ge: "..."

Mo Yuan continued with a smile:

"Ms. An, you should know more than anyone that your relationship with President Huo is impossible, why not be selfless? Sooner or later, you’ll need to sever ties with him, why not do it cleanly now, and then we can discuss future cooperation, what do you say?"

After saying this, Mo Yuan ended An Ge’s call.

Afterward, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her lips curved into a sinister arc.

For the sake of her son, she could only be ruthless and self-serving.

As Mo Yuan thought this, her phone vibrated.

It was a call from that man.

He was a soul-claiming ghost, tormenting her day and night.

...

**

Elsewhere.

After leaving An Ge, Huo Shaoyan pursued to the apartment building where Gu Ru Yi lived.

At that moment, Gu Ru Yi had just arrived back at the apartment, barely having time to drink water before Huo Shaoyan’s call came in.

Huo Shaoyan was an untouchable figure, she couldn’t afford to offend him.

Gu Ru Yi set down her water cup, and after guessing the reason Huo Shaoyan sought her out, her mind began racing rapidly for a few seconds before answering his call.

"President Huo." She preemptively asked, "What can I do for you?"
