Chapter 95: Chapter 95 She’s Smitten

"President Huo, if you have something to say, just say it," Tang Jiuze suggested.

"I just want to remind you, the Jiang Family has only one daughter, the Huo Family only one granddaughter, and I only have one cousin. If you treat her unfairly, I won’t stand for it," stated Huo Shaoyan.

Tang Jiuze’s wife, Ms. Jiang, was a direct cousin to Huo Shaoyan.

"President Huo, you worry too much. My marriage with my wife is very harmonious," Tang Jiuze replied smoothly.

"Is that so?" Huo Shaoyan laughed coldly.

With one hand tucked casually in his pocket, Tang Jiuze shrugged nonchalantly, "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married her."

A child of a prostitute, born outside of marriage, Tang Jiuze had surprisingly become the head of the Tang Family in just a few years. He was a force to be reckoned with.

Huo Shaoyan had just returned to the country and was careful not to make enemies. It wasn’t that he was afraid of offending anyone; it was just that someone like Tang Jiuze didn’t even enter his gaze. He couldn’t be bothered.

He said, "Then, President Tang, go ahead and put the car repair costs on my tab."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards his own car.

An Ge followed behind him.

[Tang Jiuze called out to her, "Ms. An, if you want to reminisce with me next time, please also invite President Huo. Don’t put me in a difficult position by sneaking around."]

After a moment, he added, "In fact, it’s best not to contact me again. It might cause my wife to misunderstand."

An Ge almost cursed at him for this but held back.

She could bear it, but Huo Shaoyan couldn’t. He had been about to get into his car but turned back around.

Tang Jiuze, seeing him return, smirked, "President Huo, anything else?"

Huo Shaoyan removed the cigarette from his mouth and, after crushing it out, asked, "I heard you had a thing with her when she was only sixteen?"

Tang Jiuze, in a dismissive tone, replied, "Old news..."

Before he could finish, Huo Shaoyan’s fist landed hard on his cheek.

Though the punch drew blood from the corner of Tang Jiuze’s mouth, he showed no sign of disorder and didn’t retaliate.

He wiped the corner of his mouth, his eyes carrying a dangerous luster, and lazily remarked, "President Huo, I don’t quite understand..."

Huo Shaoyan interrupted, "You’re ten years older than her. How could you act like a decent human being? Is it because bastards born of rich families are twisted, or does being born of a prostitute bastard make you more perverse? You’re lucky you came across me now. If it had been then, I’d have made sure you rotted in jail."

Tang Jiuze didn’t bother explaining that until now, he hadn’t gotten what he wanted from An Ge.

He coldly laughed, "It seems President Huo doesn’t quite understand the nature of a man. One day, when a beauty like her lands on your bed, you’ll understand what I went through."

Huo Shaoyan wanted to punch him again!

But he held himself back. Getting into trouble openly might leave a trail, not to mention that Ms. Jiang—who was obsessed with love and a bit of an idiot—would cause hell if she found out he hit her husband.

An Ge found Huo Shaoyan’s punch to Tang Jiuze and his words right after to be legendary.

Even if he did it to protect his cousin’s marriage, it didn’t lessen how cool he seemed in her eyes at that moment.

Once in the car, An Ge voluntarily brought up her past with Tang Jiuze to Huo Shaoyan.

"Tang Jiuze’s mother was from our Wen’s Mansion village. Back then, his mom was good friends with my mom, so without knowing anything, I was arranged to be his fiancée. I have no memories of him from before I was sixteen.

I just remember what happened after I had a high fever. Actually, although I was his fiancée, we rarely met, especially after he was acknowledged by the Tang Family. As he was busy fighting for power and courting Ms. Jiang, we barely saw each other once a year.

When I was in prison, I begged him to get me out, but he was so wrapped up with Ms. Jiang then that he couldn’t bother with me. After that incident, I completely gave up on him, even when he later tried to visit me in prison, I refused to see him..."

An Ge had always known Tang Jiuze’s new bride was Ms. Jiang, but today, Huo Shaoyan’s reminder opened her eyes: Ms. Jiang was also Mrs. Huo’s only granddaughter.

With such a background, if she were a man, she would choose Ms. Jiang over her good-for-nothing self as well.

Seeing that Huo Shaoyan made no comment on her words, she considered and continued, "But I can be certain, I... was innocent with him."

At these words, Huo Shaoyan glared at her fiercely and coldly mocked, "Innocent? For a woman like you who can’t keep still, it’s a miracle you remained a virgin until you were eighteen."

His words cut like a knife, stabbing straight into An Ge’s heart.

Her heart ached.

After biting her lip for a while, An Ge eventually voiced her most honest deduction to Huo Shaoyan, "Even though I don’t remember before sixteen, I’m sure that my first real time was over a month ago..."

"First time? A first time patched again and again?"

An Ge’s face turned completely ashen.

She gave up.

Realizing that no matter what she said, he wouldn’t believe her.

She also realized that she shouldn’t attempt to explain herself to him.

Why should she explain so much to him?

He wasn’t her man.

An Ge closed her mouth and remained silent.

Huo Shaoyan, in an extremely foul mood, slammed the car door halfway home and went to find Xiao Chaofeng to drink.

An Ge returned to the East Garden of the Huo Mansion and went straight to rest.

The events of the night were overwhelming, many connected to her past.

Her mother, Ms. Wen, had told her many strange things, and the scoundrel Tang Jiuze had disrupted her and Huo Shaoyan’s barely-maintained balance. Even Bai Meilan and An Baoying had irked her as well.

It was exhausting.

Living was exhausting!

As An Ge lay on the soft, comfortable bed, she once more felt a deep curiosity about her memories from before she was sixteen.

Just as Huo Shaoyan had said, why did a country girl like her play golf so well?

Why could she fight off Lee Dahai with bare hands? Why did she have skills that only well-to-do women have?

For example, piano playing, calligraphy, and... multiple languages.

An Ge drifted into deep sleep.

Huo Shaoyan, however, became dead drunk.

Xiao Chaofeng and Jiang Fengmian exchanged a look, then Jiang Fengmian said, "Have you noticed, this tyrant hasn’t been himself lately?"

With several major surgeries recently, Jiang Fengmian was rarely free and had planned to get some rest, but instead, he was dragged out for drinks.

He leaned back lazily on the sofa, coolly replying, "He probably got ensnared by that little enchantress."

Xiao Chaofeng clicked his tongue, "Damn, I heard when he was sold by traffickers to be a child soldier, the leader was a pregnant woman. All his childhood motherly affection came from that woman. Could it be that he’s developed a fetish for women like Ms. An?"

Jiang Fengmian kicked him, "What, did you eat shit? Don’t talk nonsense!"

Xiao Chaofeng found himself speechless.

Though Jiang Fengmian was Huo Shaoyan’s close friend, to be honest, he rarely paid attention to Huo Shaoyan’s preferences in partners.

So after retorting to Xiao Chaofeng, he kicked Huo Shaoyan’s shin, asking, "Quit pretending to be dead over there. We’re asking you if you’ve fallen for that enchantress An?"
