Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 431: Fetal Heartbeat, Fetal Movement

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Fetal Heartbeat, Fetal Movement

His demeanor was so fierce, it seemed he might burst into flames of anger.

An Ge was emotionally overwhelmed, "No... I can’t."

Her voice became somewhat choked, "I... I won’t look back."

She pushed him away, saying:

"I’ve already told you, I can no longer love you, so I won’t look back. I came here to tell you that I am Leo, and I have a way to save Mr. Fu."

As she said this, her tone paused a bit,

"Huo Shaoyan, what I want to say is, can we keep our personal grudges from harming the innocent? After I perform the surgery for Mr. Fu, I really won’t bother you again..."

Before she could finish, Huo Shaoyan interrupted her coldly, "In three days, bring the medical team here."

As soon as he said this, the tight nerves in An Ge’s body relaxed slightly.

She hadn’t expected Huo Shaoyan to agree just like that.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to him, but Huo Shaoyan, expressionless, told her,

"But now, please immediately get out of my sight."

An Ge closed her mouth, pressed her lips together for a while, and after a moment, looked up at him, "Okay."

She turned and quickly left, her steps somewhat disordered, her thin body swaying slightly in the wind, as if she might fall at any moment.

Watching her stagger and leave so hurriedly, Huo Shaoyan’s hands clenched tightly at his sides.

He felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.

He felt exhausted.

He was too tired from maintaining this relationship with her.

He wanted to rest.

Let it be.

Huo Shaoyan sat on the rooftop until dawn.

When morning came, Jiang Fengmian, who had only just fallen asleep after being tossed around by Jiang Qingyi, came over.

Compared to the dejected atmosphere surrounding Huo Shaoyan, Jiang Fengmian seemed particularly refreshed.

When he came over, he kicked Huo Shaoyan’s shin and mocked, "I can’t believe it, you’re actually a hopeless romantic."

Huo Shaoyan was annoyed and didn’t want to pay attention to him.

He leaned back wearily, his dark phoenix eyes watching the morning star at the horizon.

Jiang Fengmian lit a cigarette.

In the swirling smoke, his voice was elusive, with a hint of etherealness, "She’s not gone yet."

Because of his words, Huo Shaoyan withdrew his gaze from the distance, "Not gone yet?"

Jiang Fengmian sneered, "What? Does her not leaving excite you that much?"

Huo Shaoyan got up to stand.

But because he had been in the same position for too long, his lower limbs were stiff and numb, and he quickly sat back down.

Jiang Fengmian flicked the ash off his cigarette, his voice laced with unidentifiable emotions, "I heard from the night maid that she fainted in the living room."

Huo Shaoyan’s Adam’s apple moved violently, "Why didn’t anyone come to tell me?"

Jiang Fengmian responded coldly, "With you looking like you’re about to devour someone, who would dare come to you?"

Huo Shaoyan: "..."

Jiang Fengmian continued, "I just went to take a look."

Huo Shaoyan’s voice was slightly hurried, "Why would she faint without any reason?"

At this point, Jiang Fengmian extinguished his cigarette, looked at him with profound eyes, "I took her pulse and listened to the fetal heartbeat, guess what?"

Jiang Fengmian deliberately kept him in suspense, making Huo Shaoyan extremely impatient.

He kicked Jiang Fengmian’s shin, his voice cold and stern, "Get to the point."

Jiang Fengmian looked straight ahead at the sky where dawn had just broken, his voice carrying a hint of interest, "The child in her womb is still there. Moreover, there are already clear fetal movements."

Huo Shaoyan’s pupils contracted drastically again and again.

He looked at Jiang Fengmian in disbelief, "Could you have made a mistake?"

Jiang Fengmian took out an ultrasound from his pocket.

The time on it showed it had just been done half an hour ago.

He handed the ultrasound to Huo Shaoyan, saying,

"The medical facilities at Yuxi Vacation Villa are complete, this ultrasound is fresh off the press."

After a few seconds, he added, hinting,

"Although the child is developing a bit smaller than expected, the arms and legs are quite well-developed, and the heartbeat and movements are normal."

Huo Shaoyan took the ultrasound from Jiang Fengmian’s hand.

After quickly scanning it from top to bottom, he was slightly agitated, "Why? Why would she do this?"

Clearly, the child was still there, so why did she lie to him?

Clearly, she was still willing to bear his child, so why did she want to sever all ties with him?

Even to sever ties, she abandoned the custody of her twin children.

What kind of trouble had she encountered?

Jiang Fengmian objectively analyzed this question for him, saying,

"She must have encountered trouble, and it’s a kind of trouble only she can process or solve. So, she had no choice but to let someone lead her by the nose and didn’t dare to tell you the truth at all."

Huo Shaoyan was silent for a few seconds, then said,

"Earlier, Tang Jiuze approached her. I investigated, Tang Jiuze approached her just to bring up the matter of my mentor Qin Huaisong. Tang Jiuze’s mother Wen Qing said that my mentor Qin Huaisong might still be alive. It was after this that An Ge proposed breaking up with me... Could it be related to this matter?"

Jiang Fengmian said, "Huo Shaoyan, you need to clarify something."

Huo Shaoyan asked, "What should I clarify?"

Jiang Fengmian said, "An Ge’s true identity."

He paused, hinting,

"Gu Changfeng is undoubtedly the Sixth Son of the Qin family, Qin Jingzhi, so how important is An Ge to Gu Changfeng, that even Li Shaosi doesn’t mind she’s a married woman with a child on the way? All these signs are enough to prove that her mysterious background must be related to the Qin family."

Huo Shaoyan had investigated this.

After Jiang Fengmian finished speaking, he replied,

"I investigated. Back then, Housekeeper Qin had a daughter named Qin Ange, who was the second daughter of the Qin family besides Qin Xiaoqi. Li Shaosi is Housekeeper Qin’s adopted son, and his extraordinary ideas about the current An Ge aren’t difficult to explain..."

Jiang Fengmian said, "So, you suspect that An Ge is Housekeeper Qin’s daughter Qin Ange?"

Huo Shaoyan evaded the question, "What other explanation could there be? She couldn’t possibly be Qin Xiaoqi..."

Jiang Fengmian interrupted him, "Why couldn’t she be Qin Xiaoqi?"

Huo Shaoyan voiced his opinion,

"Back then, ten-year-old Qin Xiaoqi had undergone liver repair surgery. I once donated part of my liver to save her, so I know she had a seven-centimeter long incision on her chest, but An Ge doesn’t have it. Besides, according to the current AI technology simulation, Qin Xiaoqi as an adult doesn’t look like An Ge."

Jiang Fengmian raised his eyebrows, "Anything else?"

Huo Shaoyan: "Anything else? Also, she doesn’t have a birthmark on her chest..."

Jiang Fengmian mused for a few seconds, then said,

"What you said doesn’t directly rule out An Ge as Qin Xiaoqi. From a medical standpoint, only DNA genetic testing doesn’t lie. Everything else can be a ruse."

"Everything else can be a ruse?"

Jiang Fengmian shared his thoughts,

"With the rapidly advancing medical technology nowadays, scar removal surgery is quite mature, and even scars left by open surgery can be removed.

Removing a birthmark from the body is even easier. As for Qin Xiaoqi as an adult not looking like An Ge, maybe Lady Qin Huaisong operated on her face to preserve her only bloodline?"

Huo Shaoyan remained silent.

Jiang Fengmian continued,

"Qin Huaisong was a sensational figure in the medical community back then, and it’s entirely possible she personally operated to reshape her daughter’s appearance. Given her exceptional skill, even I, as a medical practitioner, couldn’t detect it."

If Jiang Fengmian’s conjecture was true, then An Ge was Qin Xiaoqi.

It’s because she is Qin Xiaoqi that it made sense for her to be threatened by the news that Qin Huaisong might still be alive.

Li Shaosi was once the grandson-in-law favored by Qin Lao, so now, knowing An Ge’s true identity, he relentlessly pursued her.

Huo Shaoyan’s mind was working at full speed.

After a thorough contemplation, he asked Jiang Fengmian, "If she is indeed Qin Xiaoqi, what should be my next step?"

Jiang Fengmian gave a fairly objective reply,

"Given her character, it’s unlikely you’ll get the truth out of her. So, my suggestion is to watch and wait, gradually approach the truth, and find out who is behind threatening her."

Paused for a moment,

"How about you mess with her phone? If you can control her phone, many secrets can be easily revealed. I don’t believe the person threatening her from behind the scenes wouldn’t contact her through the phone."

Huo Shaoyan thought Jiang Fengmian made a good point, so he adopted his suggestion, "I’ll arrange for the technicians to handle this in a bit."

Jiang Fengmian said: "What I’m worried about now is that the person behind the scenes is very cunning. I’m afraid even if you mess with An Ge’s phone, you won’t find anything."

...

**

An Ge didn’t wake up until noon.

She sat up in shock, feeling a bit bewildered.

Her memory seemed like a short film. She raised her hand to pat her head and only after a long time remembered what happened last night.

After breaking up with Huo Shaoyan last night, she came down from the rooftop, and then... passed out in the living room?

She had no recollection of what happened after that.

As An Ge was feeling a bit troubled, a knock came from outside the door.

A maid walked in, "Ms. An, you’re finally awake."

An Ge lifted the quilt and got out of bed, looking at the maid who was standing in front of her in no time.

As the maid walked closer, she handed a note to An Ge, "Ms. An, Ms. Mo Yuan is my mistress, she asked me to pass this to you."

An Ge was taken aback.

After the maid put down the note, she quickly left.

An Ge opened the note after she left.

The note said:

Your phone is being monitored by Huo Shaoyan. Though he may not succeed, to avoid unnecessary trouble, you should prepare two phones in the future.

After reading the note, An Ge’s breathing became noticeably heavier.

She didn’t expect Mo Yuan had reached such an all-pervasive level, she could actually plant someone in Huo Shaoyan’s territory.

This woman is terrible in her pursuit of goals.

No, she mustn’t be controlled by her everywhere, she has to find a way to take control.

With that in mind, An Ge planned to find a time to meet Mo Yuan.

Having made up her mind, An Ge went to the bathroom.

After finishing washing up, Huo Shaoyan pushed the door and walked into her guest room.

Seeing him, An Ge felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and panic.

Because she didn’t know what happened after she passed out last night.

For example, whether Huo Shaoyan had arranged for medical staff to examine her body.

If he did, then the matter of the baby in her belly... would definitely be exposed.

Actually, if it weren’t for Mo Yuan’s interference, using Qin Huaisheng’s news to threaten her, she had originally planned to confess this to Huo Shaoyan.

But...

An Ge didn’t know how to face Huo Shaoyan, "...um, sorry for causing you trouble..."

Huo Shaoyan’s face showed no expression, his gaze only stayed on her for a few seconds before moving away.

His voice had no emotional fluctuation, it was cold, but not indifferent.

"Come downstairs to eat."

He didn’t mock or ridicule, he just asked her to come downstairs to eat, which made An Ge feel a bit uneasy inside.

She moved her lips, uttered an "Oh," "Okay... okay."

After saying that, Huo Shaoyan turned around and left her room.

An Ge hesitated for a few seconds and followed him downstairs.

Upon reaching the downstairs dining room, Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Qingyi were both present.

Huo Shaoyan sat at the head of the table, and to his right was an empty seat. Although there were other empty seats, they had no chairs.

Thus, An Ge had no choice but to go straight over and sit to his right.

After she sat down, Jiang Qingyi enthusiastically said to her:

"An An, let’s go catch fish at Jiulong Pond behind the mountain after we eat? Cousin said he’d bring the kids..."

Jiang Fengmian tapped the plate in front of her with his chopsticks, "Eat your food, why meddle in?"

Jiang Qingyi used her nostrils to face him, "Weren’t y’all saying you’d go catch fish and have a picnic behind the mountain? And said you’d bring the kids, so An An would definitely..." come along.

Her second half of the sentence was blocked by a chicken drumstick.

Jiang Fengmian thought her IQ was low like an idiot after memory loss, no brains, no insight,

"Eat well, and you’ll get back your pocket money."

The main reason Jiang Qingyi was controlled by Jiang Fengmian everywhere was due to economic sanctions.

She’s now so poor she can’t even afford a bottle of mineral water.

Having lived a pampered life since childhood, she can’t endure a hard life, so she’d rather hang around Jiang Fengmian for food and drink than live a life so hard she can’t even afford mineral water.

For layabouts from wealthy families, economic sanctions are the most direct and effective method.

Therefore, Jiang Qingyi has been living quite humiliatingly these days.

At this moment, Jiang Fengmian said he would restore her pocket money, and her attention was quickly diverted.

She hurriedly asked, "How much pocket money do you plan to give me?"

Having feasted heartily last night, Jiang Fengmian’s attitude towards Jiang Qingyi was patient enough now, "Depends on your performance?"

Jiang Qingyi asked, "Do you mean in bed or out of bed?"

Jiang Fengmian felt a bit of a headache.

He raised his hand to rub his temples, "Jiang Qingyi, don’t you know some words depend on the occasion?"

Jiang Qingyi didn’t care:

"We’re all among ourselves, why bother about the occasion? Huo Shaoyan is my cousin, and An Ge is my good friend. We’re all among ourselves, so what about those adult things? Who doesn’t know? I won’t tell them what position you prefer..."

"Jiang Qingyi, come out with me."

While speaking, Jiang Fengmian grabbed Jiang Qingyi’s wrist and forcibly dragged her out of the dining room.

Soon, the dining room was quiet again.

At this time, An Ge felt quite a bit on edge.

Huo Shaoyan took in all her reactions without showing it, and said calmly:

"After Huai Shang receives serum treatment, she will still need to stay in a sterile chamber for a while."

An Ge picked up her chopsticks and ate a small bite of rice.

She responded with an "Oh."

Huo Shaoyan continued, "But Huanhuan cried and wanted to see you, so please keep her company."

Because of these words, An Ge raised her head.

She looked at him in surprise, "You... didn’t you say I shouldn’t see... them anymore?"

Her voice was a bit small.

"I feel sorry for the child, is that not allowed?"

"So... when will Huanhuan come over?"

Huo Shaoyan looked up at her, "Already on the way."

An Ge nodded, "Okay." Paused, "Thank you."

She said thank you, meaning he was still willing to let her see the child.

Huo Shaoyan’s eyes lingered on her face, then moved to her belly.

She was wearing a loose long dress, which couldn’t reveal that she was four months pregnant at all.

"Last night..."

The woman hesitated at this point.

Huo Shaoyan looked at her and said in a calm tone, "What about last night?"

An Ge looked up, meeting his deep dark gaze, "I passed out last night, and... after that, I don’t remember anything."

"Do you want to ask what happened after you passed out?"

An Ge felt extremely guilty.

But she quickly confessed, "Yes. So, what happened afterwards?"

Huo Shaoyan put down the chopsticks and said:

"Why don’t you just ask me if I discovered your secret? Like, hiding your baby bump?"
