Chapter 68: Chapter 68 She...Pure Yet Desirous

She pulled up the design sketches she had drawn during her recent confinement by Young Master Huo from her phone’s photo album and held them up in front of Shen Hongxiu, explaining,

"These are the sketches I’ve drawn recently. Please take a look."

Shen Hongxiu took the phone from her hand and spent nearly five minutes going through almost twenty to thirty original sketches. At this moment, her gaze towards An Ge clearly changed. However, she wasn’t going to agree to cooperate with An Ge just yet. She said,

"A few doodles don’t prove anything. In business, having the skill alone is not enough. Every industry has competitive products, not to mention investment risks. If you really want to join in, go back and do a complete business proposal."

With this statement, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright."

She felt great.

After bowing goodbye to Mrs. Huo and Shen Hongxiu, she cheerfully said to the cold-faced Young Master Huo, "Young Master Huo, let’s go back!"

Her radiant smile made Young Master Huo have to admit that she was as beautiful as a fairy fallen to earth. However, given his naturally suspicious nature and her complicated background, it was hard for him to be pleasant to her.

He sneered coldly at this moment, "Do you even know what a business proposal is?"

An Baoying had once hinted to him that An Ge was just a good-for-nothing bumpkin with an education level even lower than that of a primary school student.

An Ge quickly caught the disdain and sarcasm in his words. Her initially good mood dampened in an instant. She furrowed her brow but refrained from retorting, considering the man’s previous misdeeds against her. A silent stalemate quickly expanded and contracted between them.

It wasn’t until the car left the Xiangshan Mansion that An Ge broke the stalemate between them. She said, "Young Master Huo~"

Her tone was noticeably ingratiating.

Young Master Huo glanced at her from the corner of his eye, his voice remained indifferent, "Speak."

An Ge turned her head, looked at his handsome face shrouded in the flickering lights of the night, pondered for a few seconds, and then said,

"Why don’t we stop by Jingcheng Hospital on our way?"

She missed her mom. A child with a mother would always seek her out, especially when feeling wronged.

Young Master Huo, being astute, rejected An Ge immediately, "It’s not on the way."

An Ge said, "Oh."

Her tone was a bit disappointed, but she didn’t bother him further. An Ge was self-aware; she had no ability to make Young Master Huo grant her every wish. Even if she begged countless times to eventually see her mom, it would be just momentary happiness, facing a progressively harsher attitude from the man. She didn’t want that. She hated being housebound.

The essence of interactions between people is exchange and balance. She did not have what Young Master Huo wanted, so he wouldn’t be at her beck and call.

[Returning to the Huo Mansion East Garden], An Ge had just stepped out of the car when she looked up to see An Baoying walking towards them in a white spaghetti strap nightgown. Under the landscape lights, An Baoying, in a white spaghetti strap dress, showed off her long neck, delicate collarbones, and faintly visible proud bust hidden beneath the thin fabric. She was dressed in a style that men adored, pure yet seductive.

An Ge just glanced at her and stepped around her. Her disregard made An Baoying particularly displeased. She extended her foot to block An Ge’s path. An Ge raised an eyebrow, really wanting to tell her to buzz off. But when the words reached her lips, she changed them, saying,

"Big sis, it’s chilly this late at night, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold wearing that? Even if you’re not afraid for yourself, what about the Huo family’s future eldest grandson in your belly?"

With these words, An Baoying’s expression soured. An Ge continued,

"Oh, I see, you dressed up specially to welcome Young Master Huo?"

Saying this, she clicked her tongue,

"Big sis, not to sound judgmental, but you should know better in early pregnancy. If you provoke Young Master Huo dressed like this and something unfortunate happens, wouldn’t that be a terrible sin?"

An Baoying was exasperated and enraged, "An Ge, don’t go too far!"

At this point, Huo Shaoyan got out of the car and walked over, "What’s the commotion?"

His voice was icy.

An Ge gave him a light smile, "Nothing’s wrong. I was just complimenting big sis on her beautiful nightgown. I thought she might be cold and suggested she wear more next time when she comes out to meet you."

Young Master Huo’s expression was impassive, betraying little emotion. His black suit and trousers exuded an overwhelming aura. He shot a glance at An Ge, "Behave yourself and don’t cause trouble, understand?"

An Ge said, "So... can I go to bed now, unless you have any objections?"

Having been confined these past days, she’d been sleeping before eight. Now it was ten, well past her biological clock.

Young Master Huo said, "I haven’t had dinner yet. You go make it for me."

An Ge felt very... speechless.

She didn’t want to do it. She had been sewing so much these past few days that the wound on her palm hadn’t healed. Her eyes darted around before landing on An Baoying, "Big sis, why don’t you make Young Master Huo a loving late-night snack?"

As soon as she said that, Young Master Huo shot her a sharp look, but An Ge pretended not to see it, lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers.

Huo Shaoyan said, "..."
