Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Ambiguous Intimacy

Huo Shaoyan didn’t answer.

An Ge didn’t expect a response from him either.

Finally, she said to him with a cold attitude, "Suit yourself. If you want to stay, then stay another night."

After saying this, she turned and went upstairs.

Afterwards, Huo Shaoyan didn’t shamelessly follow her.

The next morning, An Ge woke up early.

The first thing she did upon waking was call the maid, Xiao He, and asked:

"Xiao He, has that... shameless man left?"

Xiao He, who was already preparing breakfast, responded to An Ge:

"Ms., I went for a morning run to exercise at five thirty in the morning, and the breakfast is almost ready. I haven’t seen Mr. Huo... come out of the room."

An Ge pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration, thought for a moment, and said:

"Go wake him up later and tell him that if he keeps staying here, I’ll call the police."

Xiao He was an exceptionally loyal maid.

Back then, An Ge rescued her from a pile of corpses; if An Ge hadn’t taken her in, she wouldn’t have had a place to stay in M Continent.

Thus, she quickly replied to An Ge, "Ms., do you dislike Mr. Huo very much?"

An Ge replied without hesitation, "Yes."

Xiao He said, "Then I understand. I’ll kick him out for you later."

Xiao He was trained in martial arts, and even three strong men were no match for her.

She thought that without An Ge having to call the police, she could handle Mr. Huo on her own.

An Ge was unaware of Xiao He’s plan, and after giving a response, she got up to wash up.

After finishing her wash-up and changing clothes, she walked out of the master bedroom.

At this moment, Xiao He ran to her, panting heavily,

"Ms.... is Mr. Huo dead?"

As soon as An Ge heard this, her heart nearly jumped to her throat.

Her expression turned cold, "What did you say?"

Xiao He hurriedly said:

"I... I kicked open Mr. Huo’s door, planning to kick him out, but found him lying face down on the ground. I called him, but he didn’t respond. His... his body was very cold too..."

Before Xiao He could finish, An Ge rushed downstairs, her body moving faster than her mind.

A minute later, An Ge saw Huo Shaoyan lying face down and motionless in the guest room downstairs.

She quickly approached and, with Xiao He’s help, turned him over.

The first thing An Ge did was kneel down and listen for his heartbeat.

His heartbeat was there, his breathing was there too, although his body was cold, he was completely unconscious.

An Ge didn’t dare to delay and prepared to call an ambulance. Her gaze unintentionally swept over a bottle of sleeping pills on the floor.

Sleeping pills?

Suicide?

Swallowing sleeping pills to commit suicide?

An Ge’s entire breath hitched, and she hurriedly instructed Xiao He, "Quick, take him to the hospital..."

However, midway to the hospital, Huo Shaoyan miraculously woke up.

His head hurt, and upon realizing he was in a car and that he was leaning his upper body against An Ge’s chest, his brain went into standby mode.

He propped himself up and sat upright, looking at An Ge, whose complexion wasn’t good, "What’s... wrong with you..."

An Ge gazed at him coldly without speaking.

Huo Shaoyan pinched his pulsing temples, thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed,

"You didn’t think I swallowed sleeping pills to commit suicide, so..."

An Ge raised her hand and punched his chest, "Funny, isn’t it?"

Huo Shaoyan allowed her to hit his chest, a hidden smile of affection in his eyes, and said:

"I couldn’t sleep last night, so I took two sleeping pills."

He paused,

"Someone like me might die in a vendetta or an unexpected mishap, but suicide is absolutely impossible."

Still, his head did hurt.

He said, "Is this on the way to the hospital?"

At this moment, An Ge instructed the driver, "Stop the car."

The driver stopped the car on the roadside as instructed.

Once the car stopped, An Ge coldly said to Huo Shaoyan, "Get out."

Huo Shaoyan knew when she got angry, she was hard to pacify.

He furrowed a slight brow, and said:

"If you just find me annoying, I’ll leave, no need to get mad. Getting mad isn’t good for the baby. Can’t you just hold back a little..."

An Ge didn’t bother listening to his nonsense, "Are you getting out or not? If you won’t, I will."

Huo Shaoyan compromised, "I’ll leave, I’ll leave, okay?"

Huo Shaoyan pushed open the car door.

He didn’t close the door immediately.

With one hand on the door and the other on the frame, he said to An Ge, who looked cold inside the car, "My... wallet is left at your house..."

An Ge interrupted him, "I will have someone send your phone to the hotel you’re staying at."

After speaking, An Ge forcefully closed the car door.

Huo Shaoyan watched the car drive away quickly, secretly bit his back teeth, and took out his phone to make a call.

Soon, a car came to pick him up.

Once on board, Huo Shaoyan instructed the driver directly, "To M Continent Hospital."

...

On that side, in the car.

Xiao He, driving, asked An Ge, "Ms., are we heading back now?"

An Ge replied, "Just take me to M Continent Hospital."

She had arranged with Wen Shiyu for surgery on Huo Zhenwei at ten in the morning.

After instructing Xiao He, she made a call to Wen Shiyu, "I’ll be at M Continent Hospital in half an hour, the surgery can start an hour early."

Wen Shiyu replied, "Should I notify Huo Qingzhou and his mother?"

An Ge: "Okay."

After finishing the call with An Ge, Wen Shiyu called Huo Qingzhou.

After explaining the purpose, Wen Shiyu said, "The surgery is scheduled for nine o’clock."

Huo Qingzhou replied, "We are already at the hospital, you can come over."

After finishing the call with Wen Shiyu, Huo Qingzhou dialed Huo Shaoyan’s number, "Where are you?"

Huo Shaoyan: "What’s up?"

Huo Qingzhou said, "The old man’s surgery has been moved up, scheduled for nine in the morning, are you coming or not?"

Huo Shaoyan said, "I’ll be there in fifteen minutes."

Huo Qingzhou answered with a hum, then looked up to meet Huo Zhenwei’s gaze from the hospital bed.

Huo Zhenwei, as his name suggests, exuded a sense of intimidation even when ill.

He asked, "What did that rogue say on the phone?"

Huo Qingzhou replied truthfully, "He said he’d be here in fifteen minutes."

Huo Zhenwei acknowledged, "Did he say anything else?"

Huo Qingzhou: "No."

There was a hint of disappointment in Huo Zhenwei’s eyes.

All these years in M Continent, he longed to see Huo Shaoyan, but Shaoyan was not close to his father.

Now, only hearing that he’s dying did he choose to show up.

Huo Zhenwei felt a bit bitter.

Yet, he owed Shaoyan and Huo Shaoxin, and they had no feelings for him, so he deserved this.

But as one grows older, it’s hard to let go of the concern for children.

He still hoped to ease the relationship with Shaoyan during his lifetime.

Huo Qingzhou, nurtured and grown by Huo Zhenwei’s side, understood the old man’s thoughts the most.

So, he comforted Huo Zhenwei, "Huo Shaoyan is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, if he didn’t care, he wouldn’t come to see you."

Huo Zhenwei sighed, "Hopefully." After a pause, "Where’s your mom?"

Huo Qingzhou said, "She went downstairs to buy breakfast."

Fifteen minutes later, Huo Shaoyan appeared in Huo Zhenwei’s ward.

He hadn’t seen Huo Zhenwei for a long time; the man previously full of dignity had developed white hair.

Shaoyan cast a faint glance at him, his tone sarcastic, saying:

"Don’t delude yourself, I didn’t come to see you because we’re father and son, but to pass a message from Grandma."

Mentioning Mrs. Huo, Huo Zhenwei felt too guilty to speak.

In his life, the person he felt most sorry for wasn’t Shaoyan or Huo Shaoxin but his mother, Mrs. Huo.

Huo Zhenwei’s eyes reddened, finally saying, "Is she in good health?"

Shaoyan, looking at him deeply, coldly said:

"The old lady asked me to tell you, don’t die before her."

After a pause,

"She hopes you’ll go back during this year’s festivities."

Huo Zhenwei’s throat moved, "Okay. I understand."

Shaoyan looked away, seemed ready to leave when Huo Zhenwei called out, "Don’t you have anything to say to me?"

Without turning back, Shaoyan coldly said, "No."

He never expected a father’s love, so he had nothing to say.

Huo Zhenwei felt uncomfortable, his voice hoarse, "Do you still hate me?"

Shaoyan turned due to this question.

Looking coldly at Huo Zhenwei, he said:

"I used to hate. Now I have my own children and a beloved woman to protect, so I don’t hate. But, I also can’t convince myself to recognize you as my father."

With this, Shaoyan soon left the ward.

He encountered An Ge and Wen Shiyu at the door of the ward.

Shaoyan’s face looked bad, and his mood was extremely low.

An Ge noticed his condition and said to Wen Shiyu beside her, "You go in first, I’ll talk to him for a bit."

Wen Shiyu nodded, "Alright."

Then An Ge said to Shaoyan, "Want to talk for a bit?"

Shaoyan felt frustrated now and had little patience for An Ge, "Xiao Ge, you’re quite tiresome too."

An Ge frowned, "Do you want to talk or not? If not, I’m going in."

With that, she turned to push the door into the ward.

Shaoyan raised a hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back,

"You must’ve come directly after dropping me off, so you haven’t had breakfast, have you?"

An Ge indeed hadn’t had breakfast, "Mm."

Shaoyan couldn’t help getting angry, "Ms. An, do you have any sense? Don’t you know you’re pregnant? Skipping breakfast and wanting to perform surgery on an empty stomach?"

An Ge understood his mood, so she didn’t lose her temper in return.

With gentle eyes, she looked at him and said:

"I didn’t plan to operate without breakfast. Aunt Huo told me on the phone that she bought breakfast for me and asked me to come directly..."

The Aunt Huo An Ge referred to is Huo Qingzhou’s biological mother.

But Shaoyan wasn’t willing to listen.

He grabbed An Ge’s wrist and led her toward the elevator,

"Didn’t you want to talk? Come have breakfast with me."

An Ge was highly tolerant at the moment.

She let him hold her wrist, followed his pace, and said:

"We can’t go far - let’s eat near the hospital?"

Shaoyan responded with a hum.

Once they got in the elevator, Shaoyan released her wrist.

But, the next second, Shaoyan suddenly raised a hand to hold her waist, protectively shielding her back, pressing her onto the elevator wall.

He was careful not to pressure her pregnant belly but kept a close distance, almost whispering.

An Ge felt the heat of his breath on her cheek, making her body tingle.

She instinctively straightened her spine, pushing back against the man leaning closer, "What... what are you doing?"
