Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Will Her Child Be His?

How could there be such a vile person in this world? Her eyes were red as she looked at him, a gaze filled with pain and hatred. In the end, she said nothing, enduring the pain in her knees as she got up and walked away.

Young Master Huo remained in the bathtub for a long time after that, until the water had turned completely cold and the heat from his body dissipated. Only then did he brace himself against the edge of the tub to stand up.

The fall he had just taken wasn’t light. His waist had slammed against the tub’s edge, and now a slight twist made him breathe heavily from the pain. Luckily, he had caught her in time; otherwise, with her small frame, even if she wasn’t injured severely, she might have lost the child she was carrying.

Thinking about An Ge’s pregnancy made Huo Shaoyan’s mood even worse. Was she really the woman from that night in the cellar? If not, whose child was she carrying?

The next day, An Ge got up early. Because of the unpleasant incident last night, An Ge feared Young Master Huo might go back on his word and obstruct her mother’s bone marrow transplant. So, she waited downstairs early.

But by eight o’clock, he still hadn’t come down. An Ge became restless. Just as she was about to go upstairs to find him, a woman with an air that was somewhere between a girl and a woman walked in from outside. She was considered beautiful in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared to someone like An Ge, who was like a fairy, she appeared quite plain.

She wore a linen dress, her style a bit literary, with a faint melancholic aura. However, the look in her eyes was not melancholic but filled with hatred. Though An Ge didn’t know her, when her gaze fell on the wedding band on the woman’s hand, she guessed her identity. She was undoubtedly Tang Jiuze’s new wife—Ms. Jiang, Jiang Qingyi.

It was clear that she did not come with good intentions. An Ge raised her guard and took the initiative, "Mrs. Tang, the mess between Young Master Tang and me was settled long ago..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Qingyi slapped her and said angrily, "Settled long ago, yet you still meet with him behind my back?"

An Ge caught her hand, saying, "Mrs. Tang, I think you’re being irrational right now. Why is it that when a man starts straying, the wife’s first reaction isn’t to reflect on the issues between herself and her husband but to blame others? Your husband is blackmailing me to be his third party, but I have clearly refused. I think you’d better calm down and objectively analyze your marriage with Young Master Tang, rather than vent your anger on an innocent victim like me."

Not only did Jiang Qingyi fail to hit An Ge, but she was also reprimanded, and it almost made her explode in anger. Last night, when she received a photo from An Baoying showing Tang Jiuze with An Ge, she had wanted to come tear An Ge apart.

However, it was too late at the time, so she held it in. That’s why she came rushing over first thing in the morning. Jiang Qingyi, although emotionally driven, was not completely irrational. After shaking off An Ge’s hand, she forced herself to regain composure and quickly calmed down. Looking at An Ge with disdain, she said, "You with the last name An, if you had any sense of shame, you wouldn’t be pregnant out of wedlock. Listen up, Tang Jiuze is my husband. It doesn’t matter whether he’s still interested in you or if you’re trying to seduce him. If I catch any evidence of you two together, I’ll make your life a living hell."

After saying this, Jiang Qingyi picked up a glass of water from the coffee table and splashed it onto An Ge’s face, saying, "This time, it’s just water; next time, it’ll be acid. You better behave."

Just as she finished speaking, Huo Shaoyan, who had woken up late, came downstairs. He glanced at the drenched and disheveled An Ge, speaking to Jiang Qingyi, "Ms. Jiang, a Jiang Family’s debutante, Huo Family’s distinguished lady, nearly had her marriage ruined by a woman with a pregnancy out of wedlock, yet you just toss a glass of water as a warning. Yiyi, since when have you become so merciful?"

Seeing Huo Shaoyan, Jiang Qingyi’s expression softened noticeably. She said, "I’m just considering our grandmother’s dignity. She’s grandmother’s god-granddaughter. If I really splashed acid on her, grandmother would be displeased."

By this time, Huo Shaoyan had already walked up to her. Looking down at Jiang Qingyi for a few seconds, he said, "Honestly, you’d be better off getting a divorce soon; otherwise, there’ll be more tears to come."

Jiang Qingyi frowned and said angrily, "Huo Shaoyan, can’t you wish me well for once?"

Having said that, she angrily tried to leave but was pulled back by the collar by Huo Shaoyan. Glaring at him, Jiang Qingyi asked, "What are you doing?"

"You love that scoundrel Tang so much?"

Jiang Qingyi replied, "Of course, I’ve tried to take my own life for him."

Huo Shaoyan’s gaze shifted to An Ge, nodding in her direction, "Did you hear that? She’s tried to kill herself over your ex-fiancé. If you meet him in secret again and upset her, I’ll be the one to throw the acid on you."

An Ge bent down to take some tissues from the coffee table, wiping her face clean before slowly saying, "Young Master Huo, throwing acid is illegal."

Huo Shaoyan coldly chuckled, "Murder is illegal too. My hands are stained with blood, yet have you seen me go to jail?"

He had been kidnapped at five to become a child soldier, and at ten, a mercenary leader with pedophilic tendencies took an interest in him. That pervert was eventually killed by his adversaries through Huo’s subtle manipulation. At ten, he had already been forced to dirty his hands to survive. Life was indeed harsh.

At that time, surviving with a group of kidnapped children was even more difficult.

An Ge didn’t know Huo Shaoyan’s inner thoughts, but his words filled her with dread. If she could, she would never have signed that agreement with him. She regretted it, desperately wanting to rid herself of him. But she knew she couldn’t right now.

An Ge pursed her lips for a moment before speaking again to Jiang Qingyi, "If Mrs. Tang can retrieve and return those disgraceful photos of me from President Tang, I will never see him again in this life."

Jiang Qingyi asked, "What photos?"

An Ge replied, "Go ask him. You are the Jiang Family’s debutante. It should be easy to extract a few things from him."

Jiang Qingyi left. Following that, An Ge turned to Huo Shaoyan and said, "Young Master Huo, I’ve already spoken with Bai Meilan over the phone. If you have no objections, she can head to the hospital to donate bone marrow to my mother..."

Huo Shaoyan interrupted her, "What photos?"

An Ge looked at him for a few seconds, then said, "I don’t think this has anything to do with what we’re discussing."

"If you kill my curiosity without explaining this, I will feel bad. And when I feel bad, the immediate consequence will affect your mother’s surgery."

An Ge had seen the worst sides of Huo Shaoyan. She knew very well he wasn’t just saying it lightly. She sat back on the sofa, lowering her eyes slightly to look at the area on her chest that had been drenched, her voice calm yet with an undercurrent of emotion as she said, "That’s my disgraceful past. Does Young Master Huo have to be so demanding?"

The man leaned down, forcing her to look into his eyes as he pinched her chin, saying in a low, cold voice, "There’s something more disgraceful than being pregnant before marriage? I really have to hear this."
