  Back in the ward, I started thinking about how to tell Huo Xiaoqi about the child. I was wondering if I should just tell him directly that the child is actually Huo Xiaoran's. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but want to laugh. I'm really curious, what kind of reaction would Huo Xiaoqi have if he heard something like that?!

  She sat down on the bed and handed over a cup of hot water: "Tell me, whose child is it?"

  "Why must you know?" I stared at him in surprise.

  "Have you thought about it? If Yun Li knew, what terrible things would she do? This child, whoever's it is, you'd better... abort it!" He said this with his head hung low.

  I stared at him, thinking of many possibilities, but never this one! He actually advised me to have an abortion!

  "I won't abort the child!" Yes, I won't, no matter whose child it is, as long as it's in my belly, that's my child. Just like how my mother didn't abandon me when I was weak and sickly since young.

  "You!" Huo Xiao's eyes, which rarely showed emotion, were somewhat startled.

  But I put down the cup in my hand, pulled up his hand, this is the first time I took the initiative to get close to him, actually he was not drunk, I didn't find him annoying.

  "Hao Xiao Jin! I hope you can keep a secret, I will try my best to leave the Hao family as soon as possible, and then, both me and my child will be happy, okay? Even if you pity me or sympathize with me, I only ask that you don't tell anyone about the child's matter!" I couldn't help but have tears well up in my eyes.

  His eyes were complex, and his facial expression changed a lot. After a while, he heard him say: "Xiaoya, the belly will be visible in at most three months. Except for my uncle and me, everyone in our family is female. Do you think anyone can't see it?"

  He paused, supporting me and letting me lean against the pillow, then said: "Have you ever thought that in the future, you can still have children? But if Yun Lian finds out that you're pregnant now, it would be a shame for her. She won't let you go, and at that time, not only will you lose your child, but your life may also be in danger!"

  I hung my head, not making a sound. Perhaps Yun Li had never planned to let me leave the Huo family alive from the start. As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly realized that Huo Xiao Quan didn't know Yun Li's plan? Or did he actually know, but pretended not to know? I glanced at his face out of the corner of my eye.

  His face was a mixture of difficulty and worry, was I overthinking? In the Huo family, I didn't know who was an enemy and who was a friend. Previously, being alone, I could be reckless, but now that I have my child in my belly, as a mother, I must protect him and love him!

  "Xiao Jin! In my entire life, there was only one person who loved me, and that was my mother. Even when I was ill and on the verge of death, even when my father didn't want to save me because I'm a girl, my mother still protected me with her own life! This is what she spent her whole life teaching me!"

  As I raised my head, what I saw was the astonishment on Huo Xiao's face. I knew that in his world, there were no people like me, so it was inevitable that he would be surprised.

  "I don't need you to do anything, just pretend you don't know and that's it. The rest, I can handle myself!" I stared at him stubbornly until his expression turned calm, then I smiled at him, knowing he had agreed to my request.

  I let out a long sigh, but the door of the ward was pushed open, and in came An Jia's old man An Tingren, followed by my aunt An Man!

  An's hands were holding some fruit, which he placed on the table without saying a word. It wasn't until Old An spoke up that he broke his silence: "Thank you! The favor of saving my grandson will be remembered by the An family!"

  I smiled faintly, but unexpectedly he handed me a thick envelope that looked like it was full of money. I looked at him in confusion and asked: "Mr. An, what's this?"

  "What I hate most is owing others a favor!"

  I understand what he means, but this is not what I want!

  "Mr. An, it's better for you to calm down without thinking things through!" I said coldly, and when I stopped, the room fell silent, with Huo Xiaoqi and An Man looking at me in surprise, while only An Ting had a calm expression without any ripples.

  I shook my head, indicating that I wouldn't accept it. Seeing him put it away, I spoke up again: "Wait until Miss Mu wakes up and ask her yourself, you probably won't believe my explanation!"

  "An... " Xiao Ran's face suddenly lit up with realization as he was about to say something, but was stopped by An Tingren waving his hand.

  "Little girl, I heard you're the new wife of Huo Xiao Ran. But regarding what Yun Li said, I only believe three-tenths of it! And today's matter, if you choose to refuse now, I think you must have an ulterior motive. I've always believed in my own eyes and what they see. If Muni tells me something different from what you want to express, then the An family is not one to be trifled with!"

  I nodded and calmly said: "This matter, I suggest you ask your son Anming carefully, wanting to really rescue your grandson, I think he is the key!"

  I had just finished speaking, but I caught a glimpse of An Jing's face changing slightly, and she also seemed to be avoiding eye contact by lowering her head. I was somewhat perplexed, but didn't think much of it and continued to exchange glances with An Ting. However, when I saw a hint of panic in An Ting's eyes, I suddenly wondered if there was some unspeakable secret within the An family.

  An Tingren remained silent, and I didn't want to say anything more: "If it were me who saved your grandson, this favor, you would really owe me!"

  He said it was true, and I couldn't leave any room for doubt! Because An Jia might really be the key to my escape from the cage of the Huo family!

  Old An nodded and stood up to leave, then An Ju looked up at me.

  "Xiao Ya, thank you!" An Xiang tightly grasped my hand, her face raised a rare smile, but in her eyes, I couldn't see any hint of joy or gratitude. Her eyes were very calm, as if nothing had happened at all.

  I shook my head and pulled my hand out of hers.

  She awkwardly withdrew her hand and asked again: "What's going on? How did you end up in the hospital? Were you injured while saving Muni?"

  I glanced at Huo Xiaoqi, just about to speak before he opened his mouth, but unexpectedly he was still one step faster than me.

  "It's nothing! I was just startled at An Ming's wedding and came to the hospital for a check-up!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, I smiled at him gratefully. He pretended not to see it and said: "I'll go to the doctor's place to take a look, your test results should be out!"

  As soon as he said it, I understood. Of course, he wouldn't mention the child's affairs since he had helped me cover them up. But the doctor hadn't been dealt with yet, and I was afraid An Xiang would ask about something. Huo Xiaoqi must have gone out to ask the doctor for help now. A warm feeling surged in my heart as I looked at his back, and I smiled slightly.

  "Xiao Ya! What I said..." An Xi anxiously asked.

  I shook my head and said, "Aunt, I don't know what happened between you and my mom, but all I want to say is that I'm just a decoration, now and in the future! Even if you drag me into your battle line, I really can't do anything!"

  "How could this be?" An Xiang's face showed some impatience, but the hatred that flashed in her eyes was something I truly saw.

  "Xiao Ya, I came today just for you! I know that at the Huo's residence, I said too much to you and Yun Li will definitely make you feel uncomfortable. And I really don't want to hurt you, so today I followed you here under the pretext of looking for Wang Muni. I am sincere! Moreover, if you want to leave the Huo's residence, unless you can overthrow Yun Li, otherwise, with her personality, you won't be able to leave!"

  An said it with a sense of righteousness, just like an old friend's conversation, and my heart softened a little.

  Or when she saw that I didn't say a word, she sped up her speech: "Don't worry! At that time, even if I use all my might to protect Anjia, I will also protect you!"

  Looking at her, I was very puzzled and furrowed my brow. I asked: "Aunt wants to take over the Huo family? Then..."

  "No! Not at all! If you want it, I can even give it to you!" An Xiang interrupted me.

  A careless remark, yet it made me start doubting her intentions! Lowering my head, I began to ponder, if not for the sake of the Huo family, but rather to fight with Yun Lian until one of us dies, then what exactly does she want to gain?

  "Don't think too much! I just want happiness in the future." Tears welled up in her eyes, and she wiped away the corners of her eyes before continuing: "As long as Yun Li leaves the Huo family, Ning En will return to his former self, back to when he deeply loved me."

  The word "love" really has the power to drive people crazy, at this moment, An Xiang's longing in her eyes is real, I can deeply feel that her love for Uncle Haining will never be fake. Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the urgent gasps and slight moans inside Yunli's study room that day.

  "I got it!" I nodded, of course, I wouldn't want the Huo family's, but since I have to face Yun Li, I need a big tree to rely on for my safety. The relationship between Uncle and Yun Li is already very clear, Huo Xiao Jue... I shook my head in my heart, he's not reliable at all, can only trust An Xiang!

  She smiled through tears, and suddenly hugged me into her arms: "Thank you! Thank you, Xiaoya! I will go persuade my father, and I will also let him personally guide you on the company's affairs! Don't worry! I believe that as long as Father is willing to show up, those shareholders will be overjoyed!"

  "Mr. An?" I called out without hesitation.

  An Chong nodded and put me down from her arms, saying: "Father is one of the elders of the Huo clan. The Huo clan can have today, he has always been a very important existence, until Xiao Ran became independent, Father retired behind the scenes."

  "Alright then, go ahead with your plan! Half a month isn't a long time!" I recall that Yun Lian mentioned last time that they would be electing a new successor at the next board meeting, and I need to sit in that position if I want to get rid of Yun Lian's control and gain freedom!
