Disheartened, I Fled from the CEO with Our Babies

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Pleasing Him~

In those fleeting seconds, An Ge’s mind went completely blank. In her eyes, which had widened to the extreme, the man’s handsome face was visibly covered with a layer of frost. Yet his enchanting Phoenix Eyes remained as intense as ever.

Completely lost, she quickly averted her gaze from his fiery eyes, as if being burned, and pulled herself off his lap. Bowing her head, she said in a voice full of genuine apology, "I’m sorry, I... I didn’t mean to..."

The man chuckled coldly, "Is this how you seduce men, with such clumsy tactics?"

An Ge’s heart trembled slightly. She looked up at him with a hint of indescribable shame, "Young Master Huo, if I ever wanted to seduce a man, I would never stoop to such means."

"Really?" he replied, his voice icy. His gaze was just as cold. He continued, "Then what would you use? Flaunt yourself like a harlot?"

At that moment, An Ge felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

Apart from her increasingly urgent breathing, the air was eerily quiet.

After a long pause, she retorted with a cold laugh, "A woman pleases a man with more than her body. If ever I want to please someone, it would be of his own will, not degrading him like you."

After she finished speaking, An Ge began to lay out the lunch she had brought on the tea table in the lounge used by Huo Shaoyan.

With a side glance, Huo Shaoyan could tell these dishes weren’t made by An Ge. Recalling her defiance and the previous remarks, he suddenly felt a surge of anger.

Such an ungrateful woman.

She eagerly gave embroidered cushions to those around them and even gave that idiot Xiao Ye a lucky bag, yet when it came to him, the main person, she put so little effort into lunch.

His anger sat in his heart, leaving him without an appetite.

With a wave of his big hand, all the food was swept into the trash bin, nearly causing An Ge to bite her tongue in shock.

An Ge protested, "Young Master Huo..."

"Get out!"

Again, "get out!"

That word was so hurtful!

An Ge realized that relying on this man was not a sustainable strategy. With their explosive tempers being so mismatched, it was an accomplishment for her to even last until the end of the one-year contract.

So, she figured, it’s better to rely on herself. Young women ought to seize the opportunity to make money and pursue a career; everything else was nonsense.

With that thought, An Ge’s heart broadened in an instant.

To hell with your golden patron; I’m still the medicine you need to keep going.

If you want me gone, then I’ll go. I’m not serving you any longer.

After leaving, An Ge went to a nearby computer market to buy a computer. She wanted to pursue her career; modern tools were essential.

After some consideration, she spent over an hour selecting a cost-effective one, spending more than six thousand in one go. It was her most extravagant expenditure to date.

Once she bought the computer, she returned to the old neighborhood apartment she rented while working at an internet cafe.

It was a one-bedroom, one-bathroom place, simply furnished, not well-lit, and quite dim. But it was reasonably priced.

It’s always more reassuring to huddle up in one’s own space.

An Ge spent the entire afternoon in her rented room working on the computer. The business plan that Shen Hongxiu wanted was just beginning to take shape. She still needed to spend time gathering materials and conducting relevant research to fill in the data sections.

Once people get busy, especially with their careers, they tend to forget about fatigue, hunger, or even the time.

Unknowingly, night fell.

The sparse and dim light cast a layer of mist over the small room.

An Ge turned off her computer, stretched in place, and then called Uncle Fu to ask if Huo Shaoyan would be home for dinner. Uncle Fu said he went on a business trip to a nearby city, and An Ge nearly cried with joy.

He was going to be on a business trip for at least three or four days.

An Ge decided to spend the night in her rented room; it was close to the hospital.

After ending the call with Uncle Fu, she informed Mrs. Huo that she wouldn’t be home that night. Although Madam was worried, she agreed.

An Ge cooked hot pot with the induction cooker for a meal she craved. Just as she sat down, a knock sounded at the door.

She hadn’t told anyone she lived here, so she was quite surprised.

She got up and walked to the door, asking, "Who is it?"

"It’s me."

Upon hearing the response, An Ge’s pupils constricted instantly, and her breathing seemed to freeze.

Yet the feeling was fleeting.

The door opened to reveal a man leaning on her threshold, completely out of place in this run-down old neighborhood.

He possessed striking looks, with captivating eyes as deep as an intoxicating peach blossom, pronounced eyebrows, a high straight nose, and skin so fine that not a pore was visible. The way he looked at her was wolf-like, yet his demeanor gave off a mature and gloomy aura.

He was a contradiction personified.

An Ge thought.

She stood at the doorway, clearly not willing to let him in,

"Mr. Tang, I’m already notorious for being unmarried and pregnant. I wouldn’t mind adding the crime of seducing a married man, but I really dislike inviting trouble. I heard your new wife, Ms. Jiang, is quite a force. Please, spare me."

"If you get rid of the child, I’ll still give you a chance to return to me." The man lit a cigarette, speaking with little emotion. "My number hasn’t changed, and you should know it by heart."

An Ge laughed in anger, "Return to you? As what? A mistress?"
