Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Young Master Huo, You’re Hurting Me~

"Tsk, who would’ve thought their Master has a penchant for mature women?"

"Have you found anything on what I asked you to investigate?"

Huo Shaoyan’s words still rang in Qin Lang’s ears, sending a shiver down his spine. He instinctively lifted his head.

When the man arrived in front of him, his handsome face was strikingly gloomy. Qin Lang was so frightened he took a step back, feeling incredibly nervous.

It took him a while to gather his thoughts and respond. "Uh... according to preliminary investigations, since Ms. An Ge’s release from prison, there are only three men who could possibly be the father of her child. First is Wu Zhigang, second is the Second Master, and third... possibly... Young Master Tang of Tang Ying Media."

"Tang Jiuze?"

The man’s voice was particularly clear and cold.

Qin Lang braced himself and explained, "Yes... yes. Ms. An Ge had an engagement with Young Master Tang before she went to prison. After she was imprisoned, the An Family broke off the engagement with the Tang Family, but according to current investigation clues, Young Master Tang still seems to have lingering feelings for Ms. An Ge. It’s said that he tried to visit her several times while she was in prison but was turned away."

Huo Shaoyan narrowed his Phoenix Eyes deeply, "Is that so?"

Just as he finished speaking, the secretary led An Ge into the room.

Huo Shaoyan’s gaze landed on her, and with a look, he signaled Qin Lang. Qin Lang and the secretary promptly left the president’s office.

Afterward, Huo Shaoyan sat back in the boss’s chair, his eyes fixated on An Ge’s every move as if she were prey.

An Ge carefully placed the four courses and one soup she brought on the desk, then respectfully handed the chopsticks to Huo Shaoyan, her voice deliberately pleasing, "Young Master Huo, you can have lunch now."

Huo Shaoyan did not take them, his Phoenix Eyes still unblinkingly observing her.

An Ge felt a tingling at the back of her head under his gaze and could only muster the courage to ask, "Would you... like me to feed you?"

As soon as she spoke, her chin was harshly seized by the man.

His grip was strong, as if he intended to crush her jawbone, causing her to draw a sharp breath from the pain.

"Young Master Huo, could you please be gentle and squeeze somewhere else? My chin is almost rubbed raw by you, it really hurts~"

As she spoke, her eyes were pure and innocent as she looked at him.

However, Huo Shaoyan showed no compassion for her feigned submission; he applied even more pressure.

"Come, tell me properly. You claim that after your release from prison, your stepfather and stepmother forced you to marry Wu Zhigang, leaving you no choice but to seek help from Madam. Why is it, then, that I’ve heard your former fiancé reached out to you several times with an olive branch, yet you ignored him? What exactly is your plan?"

It had been a long time since anyone mentioned her former fiancé to her.

If not for the man in front of her, An Ge would have nearly erased that person from her life entirely.

Yet... he remained an unmistakably vivid presence.

An Ge’s fingers curled slightly as she quickly replied, "He did extend an olive branch but only if I agreed to be his mistress. Although destitute, I’m not so low that I’d become a mistress to a married man."

Pausing a moment, her tone became even more serene.

"So after my release, I’d rather hide in Mrs. Huo’s West Garden as a maid than submit to him. Is that explanation sufficient?"

Huo Shaoyan silently examined her noticeably reddening eyes and mocked, "You refuse to be his caged pet but willingly sell yourself to me, and you call that integrity?"

Upon hearing this, An Ge’s breathing became slightly heavier.

She pursed her lips for a moment, suppressing the fury within her chest, and then spoke calmly and indifferently, "Young Master Huo, the matter between you and me is a mutually consenting transaction. I saved your life with my blood, and you, in turn, compensated me accordingly. I did not sell myself to you. Let’s be clear on that point."
