[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

"Waaaaaaah."

When Xiangxiang, nestled in Chenzhang's arms, saw Huo Jingmo, she was overjoyed and fluttered her little hands, wanting Huo Jingmo to hug her.

Huo Jingmo instinctively wanted to hug Xiangxiang, but reason made him back away and keep a certain distance from her.

"Ah, ahhh."

Xiangxiang's little eyes were full of confusion. The little guy didn't understand why his father wasn't holding him, and he was waving his little hands.

Ruan Qian'an: "What's wrong? Why aren't you hugging Xiangxiang?"

Huo Jingmo naturally wouldn't voice his fear, but he leaned close to Ruan Qian'an's ear and said, "Because this is your child. I feel disgusted. How could I possibly hold her?"

Ruan Qian'an froze for a moment, her heart clenching painfully: "You feel disgusted? But this is your choice."

Huo Jingmo covered Ruan Qian'an's mouth, glanced at the bewildered Xiangxiang, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her just blinking her eyes curiously.

However, his gaze towards Ruan Qian'an grew even colder: "Do I have a choice?"

"Wasn't that what you wanted? I had already made medicine to help you abort it."

"When I came back, I found that you couldn't bear to part with her anymore, could you?"

Ruan Qian'an placed her hand on Huo Jingmo's lower abdomen, her eyes filled with heartache: "If I were here, I wouldn't be in so much pain. You've suffered so much."

Huo Jingmo distanced himself from Ruan Qian'an and said, "Stop with these hypocritical words."

“I didn’t decide to keep her because she’s your child; she was already a life at that time. I’m not like you, who treats human life so lightly.”

Ruan Qian'an stared at Huo Jingmo, trying to discern something from his eyes, but all she could find was hatred. It would have been better if she had remained blind.

Ruan Qian'an: "Then you have to take responsibility for her."

Ruan Qian'an gestured for Chen Zhang to give Xiangxiang to Huo Jingmo, who gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far."

Then he said to the staff, "Get out of my way."

Xiangxiang, nestled in Chenzhang's arms, could sense Huo Jingmo's unhappiness and wanted to return to his embrace.

Huo Jingmo stepped aside from them and went inside.

Huo Jingmo didn't even dare to glance at Xiangxiang out of the corner of his eye, for fear that he wouldn't be able to resist.

Just as Huo Jingmo and Ruan Qian'an passed each other, Ruan Qian'an grabbed his hand: "Does even something as simple as a hug make you so uncomfortable?"

Huo Jingmo shook off Ruan Qian'an's hand: "Yes! That's right, I don't want to hug you!"

Ruan Qian'an withdrew her hand.

Xiangxiang pouted and cried out, about to burst into tears.

Huo Jingmo quickened his pace, wanting to go back inside, afraid that he might really be unable to resist touching Xiangxiang.

But he really didn't know how to face it, he really didn't know.

Ruan Qian'an poked Xiangxiang's cheek with her icy fingers and said lightly, "You say I'm heartless, but you're much more heartless than me when it comes to children."

"Since that's the case, I'll just have to throw her away." Xiangxiang stopped crying, her face pinched by Ruan Qian'an, and she blinked at Ruan Qian'an and Huo Jingmo.

Huo Jingmo stopped in his tracks, trembling with anger. Before anyone could react, he rushed forward and punched Ruan Qian'an.

Blood quickly seeped from the corner of Ruan Qian'an's mouth.

Ruan Qian'an was tackled to the ground by Huo Jingmo, who then straddled her.

Ruan Qian'an caught Huo Jingmo's fist as he tried to swing it again.

She smiled and said, "You mustn't break this skin, or it will scare you."

Huo Jingmo had no idea what Ruan Qian'an meant by those words. He only knew that he couldn't use his fists anymore, so he switched to gripping Ruan Qian'an's neck tightly.

His eyes were red and he cursed Ruan Qian'an, "You beast, how could you say such a thing!"

Chen Zhang and Chi Xiao tried to stop them, but Ruan Qian'an told them to get out of the way: "Get out of the way, both of you."

The two were worried but dared not disobey Ruan Qian'an's orders, so they had no choice but to disappear from the place.

Ruan Qian'an puffed out her cheeks, struggling to breathe as her neck was being choked, and said, "If I die, Xiangxiang won't live either."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingmo loosened his grip and slammed his fist on the floor beside him.

"You said that on purpose!"

"You know perfectly well that I care about her!"

Ruan Qian'an smiled, one hand supporting Huo Jingmo's waist, the other grasping the hand Huo Jingmo was pounding on the ground, then forcefully prying his hand open and intertwining her fingers with his.

"Of course, I know everything about you."

Ruan Qian'an said with a crazed glint in her eyes, "Huo Jingmo, you can't escape."

She took Huo Jingmo's hand, rubbed it against her cheek, and said in a humble tone, "Stay by my side obediently."

"Don't make me angry."

Ruan Qian'an's other hand followed his waistline upwards, finally reaching the collar of his shirt, where she used her fingertips to wipe away the lipstick stains.

Huo Jingmo realized something, covered his face, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha."

"I can actually see it? So you were faking it all along? Why didn't you keep pretending?"

Huo Jingmo grabbed Ruan Qian'an by the collar: "Say it! Why don't you stop pretending!"

Ruan Qian'an stared intently at Huo Jingmo: "I wasn't pretending."

"It's still a bit blurry."

Huo Jingmo and Ruan Qian'an pressed their foreheads together and looked into each other's eyes: "Thank you for being able to see."

Ruan Qian'an: "Are you happy for me?"

Huo Jingmo smiled and straightened up: "Yes, I'm happy for you."

Huo Jingmo bent down and patted Ruan Qian'an's cheek, saying, "If you can't see it, wouldn't you miss a lot of good shows?"

Ruan Qian'an pursed her lips slightly. During their close proximity, she could clearly feel the cool and refreshing aura emanating from Huo Jingmo, like that of a cedar tree, which soothed the burning sensation within her.

Ruan Qian'an grabbed Huo Jingmo's wrist, pulled him forward, and pinned him down, pulling him into her arms.

Huo Jingmo fell to the ground with Ruan Qian'an, who held him firmly in her arms. He couldn't struggle much.

Ruan Qian'an buried her head in Huo Jingmo's neck and sighed.

"You smell like someone else, and I don't like it."

Huo Jingmo's eyes were indifferent: "Since you don't like it, then I'm happy."

Ruan Qian'an moved away from Huo Jingmo's neck, grabbed Huo Jingmo's chin, and looked him up and down with an aggressive gaze.

Huo Jingmo felt a sharp pain in his chin: "Let go of me."

Ruan Qian'an: "No."

Huo Jingmo struggled for a while, and finally one of his hands was freed.

Before Ruan Qian'an could react, he punched Ruan Qian'an in the stomach.

In an instant, Ruan Qian'an lost all strength, her face pale as she clutched her stomach.

Huo Jingmo stood up and looked at Ruan Qian'an: "You're really good at pretending." After saying that, he left and went back to his room.

Ruan Qian'an clutched her stomach, trying to stand up, but vomited a mouthful of blood.

Blood seeped through his clothes, even penetrating the bandages and thick clothing.

Ruan Qian'an wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "I was careless."

The lipstick stain on Huo Jingmo's clothes flashed through her mind again: "Heh."
