Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Deeply in Love, Deeply Ensnared

She took a deep breath and said:

"Ms. Mo, I want to know the whereabouts of Qin Huaisheng. But you’re not my only lead. If I tell Huo Shaoyan the whole truth, what do you think he’ll do? Would he ignore Qin Huaisheng? From what I know of him, he cares more about the Qin family than anyone else does."

She paused for a moment,

"Do you really think your unscrupulous means can threaten me? The reason I compromised with you, willing to sever ties with him, isn’t because I’m afraid of you. It’s because you and Huo Shaoyan have a son together, and I know better than anyone that I can’t accept that, which is why there’s no future for me and him."

Mo Yuan chuckled softly and said:

"Is that so? You’re willing to leave him, which saves a lot of trouble indeed."

After a pause,

"However, let me remind you, no matter how beautiful a lie is, it will eventually be exposed. Now you’re spending romantic times with him, making him expect so much from you, but when the truth comes out, he’ll hate you to the bone. And once President Huo harbors hate, your future won’t be easy."

An Ge: "Whether my future is easy or not, that’s my own concern."

Mo Yuan: "I’ve said all I have to say, take care of yourself."

At this point, she added emphatically, "Don’t forget, I still have scandals of Gu Changfeng and Huo Shaoxin in my hands. You’d better hurry."

Just before An Ge could hang up the phone, she asked, "Did Li Shaosi come to see you?"

At that moment, Mo Yuan was in the Imperial Building, in the guest room opposite the presidential suite booked by Huo Shaoyan.

Holding a wine glass, she faced the window, overlooking the bustling night view of the entire Imperial City.

She swirled the wine in her glass, took a gentle sip from her crimson lips, and then spoke lazily:

"He did come to see me. However, I didn’t agree to his request."

An Ge: "Your ultimate goal is to force me to irrevocably break with Huo Shaoyan, to make me disappear from his world forever. I’ve already promised you, I will leave him, so please convince Jerry to release Li Shaosi’s sister."

Mo Yuan turned around, still holding her wine glass.

Not far away, a man with an unusually tall build sat on her sofa.

He was dressed all in black, and in the dim light, he played with a brass-colored lighter.

The flickering light revealed his face partly covered with a silver mask, both eerie and chilling.

Mo Yuan had an instinctive fear of him, even if he was silent, seemingly in a pleasant mood, she dared not act carelessly in his presence.

She quickly averted her eyes from the man and said to An Ge on the phone:

"That’s not enough. You not only have to leave Huo Shaoyan, but you also need to marry Li Shaosi. Only then can you truly cut off President Huo’s feelings for you."

An Ge’s emotions flared up again: "Mo Yuan, don’t go too far."

Mo Yuan chuckled lightly:

"Ms. An, everyone looks out for themselves. If you simply leave Huo Shaoyan but remain single, there’s still a chance for you two to reconcile. So, you must marry another man to truly sever ties."

An Ge calmed herself and asked, "Why must it be Li Shaosi?"

She meant, why was she being forced to marry Li Shaosi, instead of any other man?

Mo Yuan quickly answered her question:

"Because I have a collaboration with Li Tianjue. And Li Shaosi is Li Tianjue’s major concern. If Li Shaosi marries you, President Huo will undoubtedly become hostile towards Li Shaosi. In short, President Huo will deal with Li Shaosi because of this, which is Li Tianjue’s goal."

An Ge was silent for a moment.

Mo Yuan continued, "Ms. An, do you understand now?"

With that, Mo Yuan hung up on An Ge.

After ending the call, the man who had been playing with the lighter on the sofa raised his head.

In the firelight, his dark eyes gleamed chillingly, enough to make someone shiver.

Mo Yuan couldn’t help but shiver under his cold gaze.

She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and walked up to him, "Leader, I’ve carried out your instructions successfully."

The man withdrew his gaze from her face, lowered his head, and continued to play with the lighter in his hand.

Mo Yuan vaguely felt that he was in a bad mood, so she instinctively lightened her breathing.

For nearly half a minute, she wrestled with whether to speak to the man.

"I... I wanted to ask you, when you might... might give my son his antidote?"

With a click, the man closed the lighter.

He stood up, and his heavy presence in the interplay of light and shadow was so overwhelming that Mo Yuan didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

Mo Yuan shut her mouth.

After standing up, the man glanced at her, then turned and left without a word.

After he left, one of his subordinates approached Mo Yuan and tossed her an injector. "Here’s your son’s antidote for the month."

Mo Yuan: "Thank you."

"Watch your mouth, or your son will turn into a puddle of blood, washed away and not even a bone will remain."

Mo Yuan’s emotions were somewhat agitated, "No... don’t harm my son. As long as you don’t harm my son, I can do anything for you."

...

**

On the other side.

After ending the call with Mo Yuan, An Ge hesitated for a few seconds before calling Li Shaosi.

"Hello?"

The man’s voice was a bit husky.

An Ge said, "Did you... leave the Imperial City?"

It was five or six seconds later that his soft voice came through, "What’s the matter?"

An Ge: "I... I wanted to tell you... I’ve made my decision. Let’s cooperate." After a pause, "Let’s get married."

The call fell silent for a whole minute before the man’s voice came through the receiver,

"I want a wife of flesh and blood, not just a partner in a cooperative relationship, much less a marriage of convenience like you imagine..."

An Ge’s throat moved slightly, "I... I understand." After a pause, "But... but I hope you can give me some time."

Man: "Of course. After we’re married, I’ll give you time to accept me, and I won’t force you."

An Ge: "Okay."

"When?"

An Ge didn’t quite react, "Hm?"

"When will you leave him and come to get the marriage certificate with me?"

An Ge hesitated for a moment before replying, "...when we return to Jingcheng."

"Okay." He paused, adding meaningfully, "But let me be clear upfront."

An Ge: "Go ahead."

"After we get married, I don’t care if your heart belongs to me or not, but I do not want you to have any relations with other men, especially with Huo Shaoyan. You can’t have any further dealings with him; this is about preserving my dignity as a man, and it’s non-negotiable."

An Ge felt that the Li Shaosi on the phone seemed somewhat different from the one she had known.

What exactly was different, she couldn’t quite pinpoint.

But the current situation didn’t allow her to think too much. She said:

"Naturally. Marital fidelity is the most basic requirement for both parties in a marriage."

Shortly after finishing the call with Li Shaosi, Huo Shaoyan returned.

When he entered, he happened to see her finishing the call.

He walked towards An Ge, "It’s late, who were you calling?"

An Ge didn’t lie: "Li Shaosi."

Huo Shaoyan frowned, his Phoenix Eyes deeply observed her, "He called you?"

An Ge said, "I called him."

"What for?"

To maintain temporary peace, An Ge lied, "I rejected him. I told him I agreed to... remarry you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Shaoyan picked her up and carried her towards the master bedroom’s large bed.

The master bedroom was lit only by a floor lamp.

An Ge was gently laid on the bed by him, as he propped himself above her.

In the dim light, she saw the intense emotion and hidden desire in Huo Shaoyan’s eyes.

When he leaned in to kiss her, An Ge felt her whole heart ache deeply.

She didn’t resist his kisses, even returned them enthusiastically, sinking completely into the moment.

Huo Shaoyan was deeply moved by her initiative.

However, considering that An Ge’s health had just recovered, he couldn’t truly have her.

So, when his whole body was tense with pain, he decisively sat up straight.

At that moment, An Ge grabbed his arm, "I can... help you in other ways..."

Her eyes were dark and bright, looking into his eyes, so pure that it moved him.

His gaze moved from her eyes to her nose, finally landing on her red lips.

Some wicked thoughts surged up from within his heart.

His throat constricted, and he chuckled hoarsely, saying leisurely, "Really?"
