Chapter 2 I Will Marry You

No matter what, he had to take responsibility for the woman who sacrificed her dignity to save him in the cellar.

On the way to the An Residence, [An Residence], Young Master Huo, at the same moment, An Ge intercepted the second whip An Zhiguo swung at her.

With eyes red with rage, An Ge glared at An Zhiguo, "An Zhiguo, I told you, if you don't tell me my mother's whereabouts and continue to abuse me, I'll make sure your precious daughter, An Baoying, becomes utterly disgraced."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Meilan swung her arm to slap An Ge's face, cursing, "You little brat—"

"Bai Meilan, a year ago, I went to prison for An Baoying under your threats and coercion. My recorder holds evidence of all your wrongdoings. If you dare to hit me, I'll reveal those recordings, and Superstar An will be completely ruined. Forget marrying into a wealthy family, she won't even survive in the entertainment industry."

Hearing this, Bai Meilan's hand froze in mid-air.

An Ge looked coldly at An Baoying afterward, "Superstar An, you'd better persuade your parents that if my mother is not sent back to the hospital safely by dawn, I will destroy your reputation."

An Ge threw out these words and left the An Residence.

Not long after she left, there was another deafening crash at the gate of the An Residence.

An Zhiguo and his family of three were already enraged because of An Ge, and the banging noise only further fueled their anger.

An Zhiguo called for the butler, "Go see what's going on..."

As he spoke, the iron gate of the An Residence was rammed open by a military-grade off-road vehicle.

The leading man stepped out holding a black umbrella, walking towards the illuminated villa with a formidable presence.

A few minutes later, An Zhiguo and his family were trembling as they watched the new head of the Huo Family, Huo Shaoyan, appear in their living room.

The man threw a canvas bag with an "An" embroidered on it in front of them, his voice cold and deep, "I checked the guest list for tonight's Huo Family birthday banquet, and there was only one guest with the surname An. Whose bag is this?"

With just a glance, An Baoying recognized it as An Ge's bag.

Being shrewd, she immediately noticed the distinct bite marks on Huo Shaoyan's neck.

She thought of something and, before her parents could speak, sheepishly said, "It... it's mine."

"What's your name?"

"An... An Baoying."

Upon hearing this, the man gazed at her intently, "Did you go to the Huo Mansion's cellar tonight?"

Not daring to meet the man's chilly gaze, An Baoying braced herself and responded, "I... I did."

Upon hearing this, the man asked coldly, "And then?"

Frightened by the man's intimidating presence, An Baoying stuttered, "I... I... was assaulted in the cellar by an unidentified man."

"Get ready to become the Young Madam of the Huo Family."

As soon as he said this, An Baoying sighed in relief, knowing she had played her cards right.

Yet, she feigned ignorance and looked at the man, "Young Master Huo, I... I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"That man was me. You used your body to save me when I was having an episode. You're my savior, and I have no reason not to take responsibility for you." After a pause, "I will marry you."

Young Master Huo said this and swiftly retreated with a dozen bodyguards.

When he returned to the Huo Mansion, he saw a maid sneaking around the courtyard with a backpack.

With his Phoenix Eyes narrowing, he instructed his subordinate, Qin Lang, "Bring that thief here."

Five minutes later, An Ge was tied up and thrown in front of Young Master Huo.

She seemed to have caught a cold from the rain, her whole body weak and feverish.

Looking at the striking man with the icy demeanor, she stammered, "I... I'm not a thief."

"If you're not a thief, then why are you climbing walls?"

The words jolted An Ge into clarity.

This voice sounded so much like... so much like the man who had taken her in the cellar.

Yet, she distinctly remembered that the man had passed out.

Thinking of this, An Ge instinctively asked, "Who... who are you?"
