Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Embrace

An Ge saw he didn’t respond, rolled her eyes at him, and stopped talking to him.

After Huo Qingzhou left, An Ge picked up Huo Zhenwei’s medical records and started studying his condition.

After spending about two hours thoroughly researching his medical history, she took Wen Shiyu’s number out of the blacklist, "Want to talk?"

At this time, Wen Shiyu had just completed a heart bypass surgery.

The surgery wasn’t difficult, but since the patient was a child, the entire process was relatively tense.

Receiving An Ge’s call, Wen Shiyu was quite surprised, "Are you in M Continent?"

An Ge gave a soft response, "Want to meet?"

Wen Shiyu: "The usual place?"

An Ge: "Okay."

After hanging up with Wen Shiyu, An Ge decided to head out.

After she got into the car and told the driver the destination, Jiang Qingyi’s call came in,

"An An, I... have a situation, could you come over?"

An Ge: "But I’m in M Continent; afraid I can’t help from a distance..."

"I’m also in M Continent, at Financial Street 18 Pawn Shop, I... I ran into a bit of trouble."

Half an hour later, An Ge appeared at Financial Street 18 Pawn Shop.

Seeing her, Jiang Qingyi broke free from the bodyguard pressing on her elbow, "Let go, my friend here will pay for your lady’s bracelet."

Jiang Qingyi had arrived in M Continent the night before.

After sorting out her accommodations in M Continent, she took a nap.

Upon waking, she planned to redeem a piece of jewelry stored at the 18 Pawn Shop but accidentally broke an imperial green bracelet belonging to a wealthy heiress.

The wealthy heiress wasn’t unreasonable, saying she would let it go as long as Jiang Qingyi could afford compensation.

Jiang Qingyi thought, being a millionaire from a rich family herself, she could surely afford a broken bracelet?

So she readily agreed.

However, the wealthy heiress threw the invoice for the 1.5 million imperial green bracelet in her face, "Pay up."

Immediately, Jiang Qingyi chickened out.

Thus, she turned to An Ge for help.

An Ge felt it was like a dream hearing about Jiang Qingyi causing trouble in M Continent.

She asked, "Weren’t you attending to Jiang Fengmian at Imperial Hospital? How did you suddenly end up in M Continent?"

Jiang Qingyi with a bitter expression: "It’s hard to explain to you right now, could you lend me 500,000?"

An Ge had already figured out the situation on the way. She nodded, "Let’s deal with this first and talk later."

She looked away from Jiang Qingyi, intending to discuss solutions with the wealthy lady when she realized the person was actually Wen Shiyu’s sister, Wen Hui.

A bit of a narrow meeting.

Wen Hui raised her eyebrows at her, "Oh, isn’t this beautiful An Da? How come this foolish woman is your friend?"

An Ge felt a headache coming, "Lady Wen, I have other matters, can we keep this short? What do you want to do?"

Wen Hui circled around An Ge, clicking her tongue:

"How did you return to the Imperial Country, looking so gaunt? Is Huo Shaoyan treating you poorly? Are you back looking for my brother? Although I find you irritating,

but my brother treats you like a treasure, in the face of my brother, I can acknowledge you as sister-in-law... if you are my sister-in-law, we still talk about two families?"

An Ge: "I can’t be your sister-in-law. Give me an account number, I’ll transfer the money to you."

Wen Hui didn’t lack money, she lacked a sister-in-law, "I don’t want money, be my sister-in-law, and this matter will be settled privately, otherwise I’ll immediately call the police to arrest your friend."

An Ge was speechless, "I’ll call your brother then."

Wen Hui: "..."

...

**

One hour later, in Huo Qingzhou’s car.

Huo Qingzhou said to the man sitting in the back, "Are you staying at the hotel, or at my place?"

Huo Shaoyan asked, "Where is she staying?"

Huo Qingzhou replied, "She lived in M Continent for five years; she not only has a house here but also a maid and so on. If you want to freeload at her place, no way."

Huo Shaoyan: "I won’t stay at yours, arrange a hotel for me."

Huo Qingzhou said, "Then stay at my Baiyun Hotel? It’s right near Financial Street."

Huo Shaoyan responded indifferently, "Sure."

Arriving at Baiyun Hotel, while preparing to check in, Huo Shaoyan casually looked up and saw An Ge walking in side-by-side with a tall, well-built man from outside.

Behind them, Jiang Qingyi followed with a face that seemed rather bitter.

Jiang Qingyi’s cheeks bore several scratch marks, suggesting she had just fought someone and was on the losing side.

Of course, Huo Shaoyan’s attention was not on Jiang Qingyi.

His gaze only lingered on Jiang Qingyi for a second before shifting to the well-dressed man beside An Ge.

He appeared to be mixed-race, with pale skin and an air of scholarly nobility, though more refined.

He seemed to have a good temperament, or perhaps was an extremely emotionally stable person.

He actively held An Ge’s bag, maintaining a respectful distance, yet Huo Shaoyan could still discern from his sparkling gaze that he was An Ge’s admirer here in M Continent?

"What are you looking at?"

Having already helped him check in, Huo Qingzhou glanced at him.

Seeing him silent.

Huo Qingzhou followed his gaze, raising his eyes to see An Ge and a man laughing and talking together.

Uncertain of their conversation, the scene exuded ambiguity, making it hard not to overthink.

Just then, a worker using a small cart rolled out a pile of goods from the elevator.

The goods were piled high, obstructing the worker’s view.

Seeing that the worker was about to crash into An Ge, the man beside her swiftly shielded her with his body.

Upon being abruptly blocked, the pile of goods on the cart, stacked high, collapsed with a crash.

The damaged packaging revealed it contained marble tiles.

These were heavy, and due to this sudden accident, the man let out a muffled groan of pain from his throat.

An Ge, shocked, asked, "Are you alright?"

Before the man could respond, An Ge’s wrist was suddenly yanked backward.

Still shaken, she was pulled into a solid man’s chest.

Her nose tingled from the impact, overwhelmed by a familiar, clear masculine scent.

She gazed up, surprised, her eyes meeting the dark stare of a man looking down at her, causing her pupils to contract uncontrollably.

Her mind went blank and she was frozen in place.

Why was Huo Shaoyan here?

The only thought remaining in her head.

Huo Shaoyan, glancing at her, pulled her behind him, his phoenix eyes coldly watching Wen Shiyu.

Though the two hadn’t interacted before, they were both figures in their respective fields, aware of each other’s existence.

Wen Shiyu brushed off the wrinkles on his clothes, his deep blue eyes glancing faintly at Huo Shaoyan, finally resting on An Ge, "I’ll wait for you in the suite."

An Ge nodded, "Alright." After pausing, "Your back should be injured, should I have the staff here take a look at it?"

Wen Shiyu softly acknowledged, then walked away first.

Only then did An Ge’s mind begin to function again.

She looked at Huo Shaoyan, who appeared there, "Why...are you here?"

Huo Shaoyan slipped a hand into his suit pants, avoiding answering directly, "Just now, was that your new flame?"

An Ge smiled and quipped, "Not too bad, huh?"

Huo Shaoyan felt like he was hitting a cotton ball, weakly.

He bit his back teeth, suddenly laughed, "Which aspect do you mean?"

An Ge looked at him with gentle eyes, recalling the news of him and Mo Yuan being close, couldn’t help wanting to regain some favor.

She said, "All aspects are quite good."

Huo Shaoyan didn’t get angry, his phoenix eyes calmly watched her, "Is that so?" Pausing for a few seconds, "Compared to me?"

Hearing this, An Ge raised an eyebrow, leisurely watching him, speaking with certainty:

"To be frank, just the fact he is an extremely stable person emotionally makes him a hundred times better than you."

Huo Shaoyan snorted softly, "Emotional stability, how is that a skill? For a man, the most important thing is having capital..."

An Ge interrupted him, "His capital is bigger than yours!"

What is a man’s capital?

Power and status, or his physiological traits?

An Ge’s words were ambiguous; Huo Shaoyan’s face instantly darkened.

He said coldly, "What? Have you guys developed that quickly? You’ve already seen his man’s capital?"
