Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies
Chapter 457: Unwavering Love

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Unwavering Love

An Ge could never forget the words Huo Shaoyan uttered to her the day she fled from the Imperial City to Jingcheng.

She remembered every single word Huo Shaoyan said that day.

He said:

[Because I’m just like you, I want to get back at you. Before, I groveled like a dog, pleading with you to change your mind, but you coldly rejected me. So, I want to take revenge on you, make you feel what it’s like to be treated heartlessly. Is there a problem with that?]

So now, Huo Shaoyan’s capricious attitude towards her made An Ge feel that he was indeed seeking revenge.

"Huo Shaoyan, the scent on you is left by Mo Yuan."

An Ge looked at Huo Shaoyan, whose expression was a mystery, with a faintly cold smile.

"Your fiancée is hinting at me to stay away from you. Don’t you know?"

After saying that, An Ge turned and left.

This time, Huo Shaoyan didn’t follow.

He watched An Ge’s silhouette getting further away, and only after her car completely disappeared from sight did he withdraw his gaze.

At this moment, he took out his phone and called Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan seemed to have expected this call, knowing he was going to seek her out for an explanation.

So, she took the initiative: "Did Ms. An tell you something?"

Huo Shaoyan’s voice was cold:

"I told you before, don’t try to challenge my limits, stop testing me or provoking her..."

Mo Yuan interrupted him directly, saying:

"Huo Shaoyan, I did nothing wrong. As your fiancée, I am selfish in my emotions, but I can’t control your heart, so I can only hint or warn other women to stay away from you in other ways..."

After speaking, she paused,

"Are you so angry because you haven’t let her go? Are you marrying me just to use me to provoke her?"

Did she suddenly turn the tables?

Huo Shaoyan suddenly let out a laugh, his voice malicious and cold,

"What? Do you feel used, or deceived? If it feels like a bad deal, you don’t have to marry me. I don’t care."

After saying that, Huo Shaoyan was about to hang up when Mo Yuan hurriedly said:

"No. Not to mention, I like you, but solely for the sake of our son, Mo Rugu, even if I’m only a pawn in your hand, I am willing to be used by you."

Mo Yuan’s statement eased the tense atmosphere between them considerably.

After speaking, she changed the subject, asking, "Ms. An went to the hospital; is everything alright?"

True to Mo Yuan’s words, she was now a crucial piece on Huo Shaoyan’s chessboard, so he couldn’t truly offend her.

Therefore, he restrained his temper and said to Mo Yuan, "It wasn’t her. It was Lin Keke."

After roughly explaining Lin Keke’s situation to Mo Yuan, he said:

"Mo Yuan, you need to be aware of yourself, offending me won’t benefit you. But, conversely, if you have value and aren’t in an adversarial relationship with me, I won’t mistreat you."

With these words, Huo Shaoyan ended the call with Mo Yuan.

To be frank, his words had quite an impact on Mo Yuan.

She really wanted to tell Huo Shaoyan the truth, but her life and her son’s were in someone else’s hands, so she couldn’t.

She could only absolutely obey orders from above.

After spacing out for a long time alone, Mo Yuan used her phone to pull up An Ge’s number and called her.

An Ge did not refuse Mo Yuan’s call and answered it quickly, "Ms. Mo."

Mo Yuan got straight to the point and said:

"Ms. An, Jerry said he would appear in Jingcheng on the day of my wedding with Huo Shaoyan. If you want to see him, you’ll need to draw two hundred milliliters of blood as a knock on the door."

An Ge thought of something and asked, "Is it because my blood type is RHnull and can be used to extend the life of that woman he’s hiding?"

Mo Yuan replied, "I’m just relaying the message for him and don’t know the specific reason."

After a pause,

"Also, I hope you’ll keep your distance from Huo Shaoyan. Don’t become a third party in someone else’s marriage. It won’t look good on you, and your children will be mocked in the future."

After saying this, she hung up An Ge’s call.

An Ge wasn’t emotionally affected by this call.

On the contrary, she was now eager to meet Jerry.

She believed she was getting closer to the truth and closer to the blood bond of kinship.

Three days later, Lin Keke’s condition stabilized, and she was transferred to a regular ward.

An Ge visited her at the hospital. Apart from looking a bit weak, she seemed otherwise fine.

An Ge said, "Your greedy mother has bothered me several times, but I didn’t call the police to arrest her for your sake. Now that you’re stable, you can name your conditions."

Lin Keke’s goal wasn’t money.

She wanted the life of the child in An Ge’s womb, and if possible, An Ge’s life too, so she could replace her.

Of course, the latter sounded like a pipe dream, but people always hold onto dreams, just in case they come true.

Thus, Lin Keke quickly said to An Ge, "My mother is a woman of no moral bottom line. You’re right not to give her money."

An Ge didn’t like beating around the bush and asked directly, "So, what do you want?"

Lin Keke said, "I don’t want money. When I saved you, it wasn’t because I wanted something from you. At that moment, when the potted plant fell from above, I didn’t think about anything.

I ran out to shield you purely by instinct. Moreover, I ended up discovering the brain tumor because of it, which was a blessing in disguise. So, I didn’t lose anything..."

As she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin rushed in from outside the door, glaring fiercely at Lin Keke,

"How can you say you didn’t lose anything? You nearly lost your life, you stupid girl. You’re my only daughter, if you had died, who would take care of me in old age?"

Lin Keke frowned, "Lin Cuixia, can’t you stop nagging me? Can you just shut up?"

Mrs. Lin angrily retorted, "You stupid girl, are you crazy or just plain stupid? You almost died to save Ms. An, and you proudly refuse any form of monetary reward,

fine. But you can’t refuse everything. You’re a young woman who worked hard to get into a university in Jingcheng.

Yet, because you strayed, you were tricked by bad people, your scandal was exposed, and you were forced to withdraw from school in disgrace. Tell me, how can you survive in the future? How am I supposed to live?"

Lin Keke, at this moment, started to cry and choked out:

"Now that things have come to this, what can I do? Wasn’t it because you owed gambling debts with no way to repay them that I was forced to seek out An Muxin?"

Mrs. Lin, with red eyes, replied, "So you plan to give up on yourself and never hold your head up high again?

You were assaulted by bad people, that wasn’t your fault. That scandal wasn’t your responsibility either. You’re clearly the victim, why should the school force you out?"

Lin Keke: "The opinion of others is formidable... the school fears for its reputation and wants to expel me, what can I do?"

Mrs. Lin: "You had no way out before, but now you have Ms. An, don’t you? You saved Ms. An and her unborn child, surely she can help you sort everything out.

If Ms. An could recognize you as her god-sister and take you in, and then speak with Jincheng University and have the police present the full story,

people outside won’t give you strange looks anymore. Once your name is cleared, why worry about having no future?"

Mrs. Lin then quickly looked over to An Ge:

"Ms. An, you can see it too, this stupid girl doesn’t want any money or material things, she just wants a chance to hold her head high and start anew. Can you help her?"

An Ge looked at her and said, "I can help relocate her and you to another city, arrange for her to attend a good university there, and settle you in a house in that city. But, recognizing her as a god-sister is out of the question."

After a pause, "I don’t have a bad habit of randomly recognizing sisters."

Mrs. Lin’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

But then she remembered what Lin Keke had previously told her.

Lin Keke had said that if she could get An Ge to recognize her as a god-sister, she would give her a large sum of money for support.

Not only that, but Lin Keke had already given her an advance payment of three hundred thousand yuan before.

Though she didn’t know how Lin Keke got that money, she knew if she helped Lin Keke, she would get a lot of money.

Thus, Mrs. Lin quickly suppressed the greed in her eyes and said to An Ge:

"Ms. An, we’re not going to another city. Lin Keke is a stubborn girl; she has always aspired to settle in Jingcheng,

since we’re here, we won’t leave. However, you’re right. You are dignified and of noble status, and look down on ordinary people like us.

I’m not insisting that you recognize my daughter as a god-sister, I just want her to stay at your house for a while, and help suppress the outside rumors... is that too much to ask?"

An Ge’s gaze fell on Lin Keke, asking, "I want to hear you say it yourself."

Lin Keke wiped her red eyes and choked out, "I... I really do want to stay in Jingcheng. So, can you help me?

I just want to study hard, and in the future, hold my head high in Jingcheng through my own abilities, rather than be a contemptible person like a rat crossing the street."

An Ge thought for a moment and said, "If that’s your request, I will arrange it." After a pause, "But, I will not recognize you as a god-sister."

Lin Keke said, "Ms. An, there’s a natural difference between you and me, I am aware. Once the rumors about me are quelled, I won’t trouble you anymore."

An Ge nodded expressionlessly, "Take care of yourself. Wait for my news."

Lin Keke obediently said, "Sorry to trouble you."

After An Ge left Lin Keke’s ward, Mrs. Lin quickly said to Lin Keke, "Stupid girl, was my performance convincing?"

Lin Keke knew her mother too well, and she said to her,

"I’ll help you pay off your gambling debts. The rest of the money I promised, I’ll give to you in installments. But, I have a condition. You need to pack up today and go back to our hometown."

Mrs. Lin was unwilling, "Stupid girl, why did your attitude change so quickly? Now that you’ve climbed up the social ladder, you want to disown your mother?"

Lin Keke frowned and coldly said:

"As long as you go back to the hometown, I’ll give you fifty thousand yuan every month. If you don’t leave, I’ll report you to the police for drug use and gambling, and have you arrested..."

Mrs. Lin was frightened into compliance,

"Fine, fine, I fear you. I can go back to the hometown, but you must buy me a house in the county town there, or else I’ll go find Ms. An and tell her you’re deceiving her..."

Lin Keke shot her a sharp glance:

"Lin Cuixia, does sabotaging my future give you any benefit at all? If you want a prosperous life in your later years, you’ll have to listen to me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless and merciless..."

Lin Cuixia finally acquiesced and left.

Afterwards, Lin Keke made a phone call to Mo Yuan, "An Ge has relented, she will arrange for me to stay at the Castle Manor..."

...

**

At that moment, as An Ge just stepped out of the hospital building, she ran into Huo Shaoyan at the entrance.

The man blocked her path, "Since we ran into each other, how about I treat you to a meal? If you don’t want to, we can chat at the café next door as well."

An Ge looked up at him, her red lips curled up,

"Five years ago, you had money and power, but I was just a nobody; I could only let you have your way. Now, though you still have power and influence,

you can no longer suppress me. What’s the point of continually pestering me? What I want is a unity of mind and body, what I long for is love that is deep and unchanging, aren’t these things you cannot give me?"
