An Xia's lips trembled, her voice sounded weak, as if she was sick. However, since he asked, she didn't dare to not answer, much less lie. "In order to be free, you said that if I give birth to a baby, I'll …"

Huo Jin Ze's words completely infuriated her. His deep eyes were dyed a faint red from anger, and he glared fiercely at her. "Do you know …"

How pleased she was with him for taking the initiative.

He had never been so happy in his life.

This seemingly weak woman had also learned to act in front of him. His fingers hooked up under her chin, trying his best to suppress the anger in his chest. "You're really getting more and more disobedient. You won't remember if I don't punish you!"

With that, he pulled her into his embrace. "Since you want your freedom so much, I'll grant it!"

An Xia tensed up as she knew that this man was angry.

But wasn't this the result he wanted?

She cooperated with him, still with no intention of refusing, even though she knew there was going to be a storm waiting for her.

She endured, clenching her teeth tightly, but she did not make any sound. She did not want to show any sign of cowardice in front of this man.

She won't even cry, she won't cry, don't cry, crying is just a sign of being weak.

She did not want to show weakness.

Even so, tears were beginning to form in the corners of her eyes.

Huo Jinze saw her expression, and his heart ached. Thinking of her words, wanting to be free from him, he pressed his lips together, and turned his head around without looking at her fragile appearance.

Only when her face turned slightly pale did she pass out.

She suddenly didn't have any reaction, Huo Jin Ze's spine went stiff, his whole heart started to rise, he held his breath and didn't even dare to look at her.

He was suddenly afraid.

He hastily probed her pulse with his fingers and felt her strong heartbeat. His heart, which was hanging in the air, was finally able to relax.

There had never been a woman's every action that concerned him so much. His heart no longer felt like his own as it changed with her emotions.

Seeing her pale face with her eyes closed, Huo Jin Ze felt pain in his heart. He painfully stretched out his hand and placed it on her cheek, carefully rubbing it, "Why must you be so stubborn? Xiao Yu, when will you remember me? "

He couldn't wait any longer.

She had once relied so much on him. Whenever she was afraid that he would appear in front of her, she would become very brave, as if she was no longer that afraid.

At that time, he was her safe haven, but now?

She was so afraid of him.

Looking at her, his heart ached uncontrollably. However, he did not feel the slightest bit of regret. He did not regret at all. What he had done today was something he had yearned for even in his dreams.

She was the woman he wanted, the only woman he had.

He gently embraced her and pulled her into his embrace before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, he got up early to go to the study and take care of the company's affairs. He did not eat breakfast and go to work as usual.

She wasn't awake yet.

He was working in the study until nine o'clock when he put down his papers and called the servant over.

"Young Master, what orders do you have?"

A woman with strands of silver hair walked in.

"See if she's up yet? Make some light food and bring it to my bedroom." Huo Jinze looked at the servant and lightly instructed.

The servant was stunned for a moment. She thought he was going to tell her to cook something for him, but instead he sent it to Miss An.

When she turned around, she couldn't help but pause and turn around to remind him, "Young Master, you haven't eaten your breakfast."

"Got it."

He only replied indifferently without giving any additional instructions.

The servant looked at him but didn't say anything. He walked out of the study room and made some light porridge. There were some side dishes that he took upstairs to the bedroom.

Huo Jinze continued talking to the assistant in the video, even if there were a lot of things to deal with, he would only instruct the assistant to do it.

Within ten minutes, the servant knocked on the door and entered.

He immediately turned all his attention to the servant. "Did she eat it?"

The servant shook his head, "Young Master, I didn't even go into the room. I knocked on the door and called for her a few times. Miss An didn't reply."

Had she not woken up?

"Go and busy yourself first."

The servant then left the study, Huo Jin Ze pondered for a moment, then continued with his work.

About an hour later, Huo Jinze glanced at the watch in his hand. It was already past ten o'clock, he raised his head and turned off the videoconference. Then, he walked out of the study.

As he passed the foot of the stairs, he stopped and called for a servant to bring him breakfast.

Just as the servant was about to follow him, Huo Jin Ze suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Give it to me."

The servant was stunned, momentarily forgetting to react.

Huo Jinze looked at him, took the tray from her hand, and walked towards the bedroom while carrying the food.

A look of surprise flashed in the maid's eyes. Since when had the young master served others in such a manner?

A woman?

At that time, Huo Jinze's figure had already arrived at the bedroom door, with the tray in one hand and the handle of the door in the other. Just as he was about to open the door with force, his fingers suddenly stopped.

After a moment's thought, he released his hand and knocked on the door.

"It's time …" He opened his mouth and suddenly swallowed his "breakfast" midway.

He had never used such a tone to talk to someone before, and for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable. When he thought of her behavior yesterday, he felt a wave of unfairness in his heart.

Halfway through his sentence, he changed again. "Get up and accompany me to eat!"

His tone was a bit more forceful than before, but no one replied.

Was she angry with him?

What right did she have to be angry, he thought angrily. "Open the door."

He waited for another second, but still no one answered. He frowned in displeasure, and the anger in his heart grew even stronger.

He didn't even think as he held the handle of the door. His fingers moved but the handle didn't open. It was as if someone had locked it from the inside.

This woman's resistance against him was getting more and more obvious!

He knocked again, angrily. "I'll give you one chance, three seconds."

Three seconds passed in the blink of an eye, but there was no sound from inside. He waited for two minutes, holding back his anger. The tightly shut door was still shut. There was not even a sound of an answer.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. "Xia Xia?"

Still no one answered.

In the blink of an eye, the rage in his heart vanished without a trace, and his entire heart grew heavy. An apologetic feeling arose in his heart, and he wanted to apologize, but it was difficult to say it out loud.

He had never done such a thing in his life.

Would she do something stupid?

He panicked as he thought of this possibility. He quickly put aside the food in his hand and asked the servant to bring the keys over.

As soon as the servant opened the door, he saw a shadow flash in front of him. Lifting his head, Huo Jin Ze's figure was already standing in front of the bed.

This was the first time she saw her Young Master's anxious appearance. His usually calm and wise self seemed to have suddenly lost his wits.

Is this still the young master Huo, who the knife didn't even move his eyebrows?

Huo Jinze ran to the bed and looked at An Xia who was lying on the bed. His heart gradually calmed down, thinking about how she didn't respond even after he shouted for a long time.

"Who allowed you to close the door! Why didn't you answer! "

An Xia didn't seem to hear him as she quietly stared ahead in a daze. She didn't want to see him, didn't want to hear his words. It was that simple.

"I'm talking to you!" When she didn't respond, he roared again.

An Xia felt his anger and her shoulders shrank in fear. She pulled her entire body under the blanket and covered her head with the blanket.

The more she was like this, the angrier Huo Jin Ze became. He angrily grabbed onto a corner of the blanket and pulled it away. Under the blanket, tears were slowly flowing down her face.

Huo Jin Ze stared blankly, anger gathering in his chest, this was the first time he discovered that she was actually afraid of him to such an extent.

His words stuck in his throat, "You …" Put on your clothes and come out to eat. "

The person on the bed only looked at him carefully. Her white arm slowly reached to the blanket and slowly pulled it over her head, leaving only a pair of small eyes peeking out.

Her appearance caused him to frown in pain, while his heart ached.

He couldn't help but slow down his tone and sigh. He turned his head to the servant and said, "Bring the food in."

Huo Jin Ze couldn't help but admit that this little woman's every action was controlling his mood.

In the past ten minutes or so, his mood fluctuated so greatly that he was shocked beyond belief.

When did his mood become so erratic?

Although the servant had seen everything, she could not help but be surprised. In her heart, she understood that this Miss An held an extraordinary place in the young master's heart.

The servant brought the food in, and under the pressure of Huo Jin Ze, she was willing to pick up the chopsticks to eat.

However, after eating, she would return to her previous state and silently curl up on the bed.

At this moment, An Xia was only thinking about getting pregnant. Only then could she truly get rid of this man.

For two days in a row, An Xia was always in this state. Whenever Huo Jin Ze walked into the room, she would always hide inside her blanket.

She just didn't want to see this man who had been forcing her.

Seeing her completely ignoring him, Huo Jin Ze felt panic in his heart, and couldn't help but worry for her.

She didn't care what he said to her. Whenever he got angry, she would snail down in the quilt.

Her appearance reminded him of her when he was young, always hiding in the corner, burying her whole body. It was a long time before he allowed her to walk out of the shadow.

Was he going to let her go back to her original world just because of him?

No.

Huo Jinze looked at An Xia who was curled up inside the quilt for a long time, deep in thought. His pitch-black pupils gradually became heavy, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart.

His cold figure left the bedroom and went straight to his study to open the safe. Huo Jinze took out his mother's necklace from the safe and held it tightly in his hand.

His eyes were full of guilt. Looking at the necklace in his hand, he felt as if a beautiful and benevolent woman was standing in front of him. He silently said to her in his heart, Mother, I'm sorry.
