Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Do You Like Me~

She bit her lip, swallowing everything without making a sound.

"Why are you yelling at her? Just because you can’t marry An Baoying, you’re taking out your anger on an innocent person? She’s pregnant with twins, eating for three, how is that bothering you?"

[Mrs. Huo] finished reprimanding Huo Shaoyan, then turned her gaze to Shen Hongxiu and said, "Hongxiu, I want to discuss something with you..."

Before Mrs. Huo could finish her sentence, Shen Hongxiu cut her off forcefully,

"Mom, I know what you want to say. Although our Shen Family has fallen on hard times for many years and I haven’t been able to bear children for the Huo Family, you can’t humiliate me like this. I won’t let An Ge into the Xiu Fang Pavilion. If you’re speaking for this matter, you should give up the idea."

Mrs. Huo didn’t expect Shen Hongxiu to be so resolute.

She sighed, "Hongxiu, it’s Second Master’s fault for being infatuated with An Ge. How can you blame it on her?"

Shen Hongxiu immediately lost control of her emotions,

"Mom, as the saying goes, a fly won’t bite a seamless egg. If she were any good, could she have climbed into Huo Zhendong’s bed? Who knows, the child in her womb might just be Huo Zhendong’s!"

The accusations were extremely severe.

An Ge couldn’t help but step forward to explain herself almost the moment Shen Hongxiu finished her words,

"Second Madam, whether you believe it or not, I’m going to explain myself today. More than a month ago, at Granny Huo’s birthday banquet, I drank some spiked wine and, under its influence, was forcibly dragged onto Second Master’s bed. But after that, I jumped out of the window and escaped. Until now, nothing happened between me and Second Master..."

"Innocent? Then tell me, whose child are you carrying? The baby is about five weeks along, which matches perfectly with that night over a month ago. Can you dare say the child wasn’t conceived that night? Even if it’s not Huo Zhendong’s, being pregnant before marriage means you’re not a good person."

Before An Geyu could respond, Huo Shaoyan lifted his gaze to her and said,

"Second Aunt is right. Even if the child in your womb isn’t Second Uncle’s, it was probably conceived that night. Now tell me, who was the man that night?"

"I... I don’t know."

Facing the aggressive, domineering man, An Ge struggled for a while before squeezing out a few words; her heart pounded like a drum, anxiety filled to the brim.

Her child belonged to the man in the cellar, but that man was a deceased drug lord, and the man here was hunting down the remnants of that drug lord’s network; how could she dare to tell the truth?

She had to lie.

"That night, after escaping from Second Master’s bed through the window, I left the Huo Mansion. On my way back to the An Family, I was knocked out from behind. After that... I don’t remember what happened. When I woke up, I... I had already lost my innocence."

Huo Shaoyan sneered coldly, "Is that so? On your way back to the An Family? Which road? What time exactly did you get knocked out... Don’t you want to provide more details?"

An Ge tightened her fingers, took a deep breath, and dodged the question,

"Young Master Huo, your persistent attention on me makes it really hard not to misunderstand. Do you like me? Otherwise, I can’t think of why you’d be so concerned about me and my child..."

Before she could finish, with a loud bang, the man overturned the entire dining table in a chilling fury.

The clattering dishes shattered on the floor. Much of the soup splattered onto An Ge’s face.

Yet she merely looked at him calmly without movement, "Young Master Huo, are you throwing such a tantrum because I hit the nail on the head with your feelings?"

"An Xiaoge, how base do you think I am, to fancy someone like you who doesn’t even know the father of her child?"

Having dropped those words, Huo Shaoyan turned and left without looking back.

An Ge watched his determinedly departing figure, feeling an inexorable wave of discomfort surging in her chest.

Mrs. Huo was so infuriated by Huo Shaoyan’s actions that she nearly passed out.

An Ge quickly found her blood pressure medicine and fed it to her, and soon she started to recover.

As she offered Mrs. Huo some water, without even setting down the cup, Shen Hongxiu swung her arm and landed a slap across her face...
