Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Seduced by Her~

But the man didn’t appreciate her gesture. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, he threw the suit jacket in his hand to a passing waiter at the banquet, saying, "Throw it away!"

Did she really look so filthy to him?

It was either thrown away or burned.

After returning to the [Huo Mansion, East Garden], An Ge was confined to her quarters. Qin Lang stood at the door of her guest room and said, "Ms. An Ge, the master’s order is that from now on, you can’t take a step out of your room without his command."

An Ge’s fingers curled slightly, her voice dim, "Understood."

After Qin Lang left, Uncle Fu came by once to bring her a late-night snack. Despite having no appetite, An Ge knew her body would suffer if she didn’t eat. Forcing herself to finish the meal, her mind kept replaying the events from the Xiao Family’s birthday banquet that evening.

Appearing at the Xiao Family’s birthday banquet under the guise of the Huo Family’s god-granddaughter, with rumors of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, had undoubtedly brought shame upon the Huo Family.

She thought, she had certainly offended Huo Shaoyan this time, and it would be hard to leave the room anytime soon. Confinement wasn’t her main concern; she was more troubled by the thought of her mother in the hospital.

After much deliberation, An Ge decided to talk to Huo Shaoyan once he returned.

Finishing her wash-up, she climbed onto the tatami by the window. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window lay the parking lot, drowned in the shadows of towering trees. She would be able to spot Huo Shaoyan’s car the moment it returned.

Half asleep, she didn’t know how long she waited when a deafening screech of brakes suddenly startled her awake. An Ge looked up, her gaze passing through the window, and saw the man stepping out of a military off-road vehicle.

Seeing this, An Ge’s heartbeat quickened like a drum. She hurriedly got up from the tatami and ran to the door. The door had been locked, but she had picked the lock with a black hairpin, taking less than thirty seconds, after her shower. As a result, she succeeded in opening the door when she reached it.

It was too much of a coincidence. Just as she opened it, the tall and dignified man was walking over from the direction of the spiral staircase. His suit jacket, which he had discarded at the Xiao Family banquet, and the black shirt and matching black pants he wore exuded a chilling pressure.

An Ge met his gaze, which was darker and deeper than usual, tightening her nerves to the extreme. At that moment, she felt submitting or resisting would lead her down a dead end regardless.

So, she took a deep breath and walked towards the man. She blocked his path at his bedroom door, her voice rigid with restraint, "Young Master Huo, I..."

She hadn’t even finished speaking when the man pushed her aside and entered the master bedroom. The bedroom lights quickly lit up.

An Ge lingered at the door, hesitating for a few seconds before recklessly entering the man’s bedroom.

In the warm light, a mysterious blush adorned the woman’s fair face. She lifted her head to look at him, her gaze uneasy and timid, her voice cautiously restrained and softly pleading,

"Young Master Huo, what happened at the Xiao Family banquet tonight was truly unintentional. I had no prior knowledge that Xiao Ye was the young master of the Xiao Family. I..."

Huo Shaoyan had drunk more than enough. Oh, to be precise, he was drunk.

His head was not only spinning madly, but there was also an indescribable fire raging throughout his body. He sat down on the sofa, one hand pinching his brow, interrupting An Ge, "Water."

An Ge’s unfinished words stuck in her throat. Realizing the man’s need, she quickly made him a glass of lemon honey water.

"Young Master Huo, lemon honey water can help with the alcohol. Please give it a try."

When she leaned forward to offer the glass, she was very close to him. Close enough that as soon as he lifted his eyes, he saw the snowy expanse beneath her V-neck nightgown and caught her faint, enchanting scent—

A pure and fresh fragrance unique to young girls, it awakened memories of that night in the cellar more than a month ago. That night, the woman had a similar bouquet.

Huo Shaoyan’s throat silently worked twice as he accepted the glass from her hand. He quickly finished drinking the lemon water, but it did little to quell the restlessness flooding his body.

He lifted his hand to unbutton his collar, then looked up at the woman whose small face was tense with anxiety. Her cheeks were growing ever redder, her mouth opening and closing as she recounted the events leading up to the Xiao Family banquet tonight.

In truth, Huo Shaoyan was uninterested in what An Ge had to say from the start. And now, feeling the discomfort of his drunkenness, he certainly didn’t care. He found her chatter annoying, yet he was inexplicably drawn to her moving lips.

To him, her every word, every syllable felt like fuel to the fire consuming him, making him more restless.

Finally, he bent one knee slightly, giving her shinbone a gentle nudge with a hoarse voice, drunk with anger, "Get to the point."

The nervousness in An Ge’s emotions had her cheeks turning an unusually crimson shade, a reaction that, in the eyes of a man numbed by alcohol, seemed exceptionally alluring. Huo Shaoyan felt she was seducing him, his gaze burning as he watched her, waiting for her next move.
