Chapter 8 Pregnancy

An Ge narrowed her eyes but did not lose her temper.

She followed An Zhiguo into the guest room, where An Zhiguo pushed her onto the lap of the burly Boss Wu before making an excuse to leave. Boss Wu was someone who had climbed out of a pile of women, but even he was stunned by An Ge's pure yet alluring appearance when he saw her in person.

In his eagerness, he immediately tried to tear An Ge's dress. Reacting instinctively, An Ge grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it down on his head, causing blood to gush from Boss Wu instantly.

Seething with anger, he raised his hand and slapped An Ge twice across the face.

An Ge fell to the carpet, scrambling and crawling towards the guest room door.

But it was too late; Boss Wu spread her legs from behind.

In a critical moment, An Ge pulled out a knife hidden on her body and stabbed Boss Wu.

She didn't know where she had hit him, but after Boss Wu let out a scream, she escaped the guest room.

Stumbling, she collided into the broad and strong embrace of a man at the end of the corridor.

Instinctively, she looked up and met the enigmatic and handsome face of the man, shock and amazement in her eyes, "Huo... Young Master Huo."

"Sister?"

An Baoying, standing to the side, feigned shock as she spoke upon seeing An Ge in disheveled clothes, "Sister, where have you been this whole month? Do you know how worried I and Dad have been about you without any contact from you for a month? How did you become this mess? You... you didn't sneak a man into the house, did you…"

Whatever else she said was lost on An Ge.

Because right at that moment, she fainted, collapsing into Huo Shaoyan's arms.

In the past month, An Baoying had relentlessly fed negative stories to Huo Shaoyan, claiming that An Ge was a worthless tramp with countless men, and had even had an abortion before going to prison.

As a result, Huo Shaoyan felt an instinctive aversion toward An Ge now.

Therefore, when An Ge fell into his arms, he instinctively tried to push her away.

However, when he saw the canvas bag she was carrying, he hesitated.

The canvas bag had an "An" embroidered on it, identical in style and method to the bag from that night in the cellar.

Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes, then picked An Ge up in a horizontal hold, glancing to one side to ask An Baoying, "Did you embroider the canvas bag she's carrying?"

An Baoying had no idea how to embroider, but when Huo Shaoyan praised the canvas bag as unique the last time, she had claimed it as her work.

Now, being asked by Huo Shaoyan, she felt a bit flustered and guilty as she replied, "Yes... yes. A while ago, my sister wanted to take away the token of love between me and you, and I couldn't bear it, so I made her a new one."

The token of love An Baoying mentioned was, in fact, An Ge's canvas bag, the one left in the cellar that night.

Huo Shaoyan seemed to believe her completely, saying, "You really are a good sister."

Yet as he said so, a faint gleam flashed in his eyes.

After several interactions over the past month, Huo Shaoyan realized that An Baoying was a two-faced woman, quite different from the woman that night in the cellar.

He distinctly remembered that woman, with her wildcat-like energy—not at all pretentious.

What went wrong?

An hour later, [Jingcheng Hospital], the ER doctor walked over to Huo Shaoyan and An Baoying, asking, "Which one of you is the patient's family?"

An Baoying replied, "I am. What happened to my sister?"

The doctor said, "The young lady is pregnant, less than five weeks."

Knowing that An Ge had been with Huo Shaoyan that night, An Baoying was shell-shocked by the news.

She felt both enraged and envious.

She visibly lost control, "What did you say? Pregnant? My sister is only 20 years old. Aren't you mistaken?"

The doctor frowned, "Who's the doctor, you or me?"

Too agitated, An Baoying blurted out, "Abort it."

For some reason, Huo Shaoyan's heart twisted slightly at An Baoying's suggestion to abort An Ge's child.

Even though the feeling was only fleeting, it was undeniably real and made him very uncomfortable.

Huo Shaoyan frowned, "Abort it?"
