Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Who wants to be a live-in son-in-law? I’m the only man in our Qiao family. If I become someone else’s live-in son-in-law, what will happen to the Qiao family?” Qiao He protested.

Qiao An patted her chest. “Don’t worry,” she said confidently. “I’m here.”

Qiao He glanced at her slender figure. “Other than a few pounds on your chest, can you still help your family do manual labor with your thin body?”

Qiao An said, “At worst, I’ll get a live-in husband. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the family.”

Hearing that Qiao An was prepared to marry someone, Huo Xiaoran’s eyes lit up.

Huo Zhou cleared his throat and reminded Qiao An and Qiao He, “My cousin’s family doesn’t need a live-in son-in-law.”

Qiao He, who had just stubbornly resisted being a live-in son-in-law, he sighed. “Sigh, it’s a pity that I don’t have the life of a freeloader.”

Qiao An patted Qiao He’s head. “Do it right.”

Then she stalked away.

Huo Zhou’s first impression of Qiao He was very bad. Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, it did not change his bad impression of Qiao He.

Huo Zhou asked for Huo Xiaoran’s opinion gloomily, “Is this guy injured? Why don’t we send him to the hospital? Out of sight, out of mind.”

Huo Xiaoran actually disagreed.

“If he calls me brother-in-law, I can’t abandon him. Send him to my place and I’ll take care of him,” Huo Xiaoran said heroically.

Qiao He had thought that he could go to his future mother-in-law’s house to earn a living. He did not expect the Demon King to take away his rare opportunity.

He was actually a little afraid of Huo Xiaoran because Huo Xiaoran usually had a poker face. His aura was also very cold, making people feel suffocated.

Qiao He objected timidly, “Actually, you’re already my ex-brother-in-law. There’s no need to work hard in front of my sister. Ever since my sister divorced Li Zecheng, she’s been completely disappointed in marriage. No matter how hard you work, it’s useless.”

Huo Xiaoran’s gaze landed on Qiao He’s soft legs. He knew that his bones were broken. Huo Xiaoran raised his eyebrows and teased, “Alright, leave.”

Qiao He was about to get up when he realized that his right leg could not exert any strength at all.

“Yueyue, can you send me home?” he begged Xiao Yue.

Huo Xiaoran stopped her. “It’s not appropriate for her to go to your house in the middle of the night. How about I send you home?”

Qiao He’s face instantly turned red with anger.

“You’ve obviously got an ulterior motive. You’re sending me home so as to see more of my sister. My sister likes to sleep naked at night. You’d better not come to my house.”

For some reason, the image of Qiao An snuggling into his arms in her hollowed-out negligee after being drugged that day appeared in his mind.

He swallowed his throat and felt his body heat up inexplicably.

Qiao He could only compromise. “Alright, I’ll reluctantly stay at your house for two days.”

Huo Xiaoran instructed the bodyguards to carry Qiao He into the car.

Just like that, Qiao He checked into Huo Xiaoran’s Heavenly Imperial Garden. The bodyguard threw Qiao He into the bedroom, and Qiao He started to stir.

“Ex-brother-in-law, can I take a shower?”

Huo Xiaoran crossed his arms and looked at him gloomily.

Qiao He was definitely uncertain. His face was clearly clear just now. “I don’t like this title very much.”

“So what should I call you?” Qiao He thought for a moment. “The Great Satan?”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression turned even worse.

“What about the cousin?”

Huo Xiaoran could already tell that Qiao An’s younger brother was pitifully poor in literature. Compared to his genius sister, there was a world of difference.

He didn’t make things difficult for him. Their relation as “cousin” would work whether it was tied to Xiao Yue or Qiao An.

“Fine.”

Qiao He said, “Can I shower?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “If you’re not afraid of infection, wash yourself.”

Qiao He gave up instantly.

Huo Xiaoran took out the medicine box and walked up to Qiao He. He ordered, “Take off your clothes.”

Qiao He was flattered. “Cousin, are you going to apply the medicine for me personally? How embarrassing.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “In exchange, you have to answer a few questions of mine honestly.”

Qiao He said happily, “It’s my honor to have you take care of me. Don’t worry, even if it’s dozens or hundreds, I’ll tell you everything.”

Qiao He stripped off his clothes and could only lie on the bed because his butt was in bloom.

Huo Xiaoran took out the ointment and pretended to apply it on Qiao He. In fact, his mind was not on it at all. Instead, he was thinking about how to get some secrets about Qiao An from Qiao He.

“Does your sister really not have a boyfriend now?” Huo Xiaoran asked with uncertainty.

After all, Qiao An was beautiful and unconventional. It was hard to believe that she hadn’t had a boyfriend for so many years.

Qiao He said sadly, “My sister doesn’t have time to fall in love. She’s always on the way to earning money every day. I wonder what she’s thinking. Why does a woman have to earn so much money?”

Huo Xiaoran was very surprised. Although the Qiao An in his heart was unwilling to be a trophy wife, she was definitely not a desperate person. Her industry made his heart ache.

However, when he heard that she hadn’t had a boyfriend all these years, he was inexplicably delighted. However, a moment later, his joy turned into dismay. She cherished her purity and preferred to have nothing to do with anyone. However, he was lost in Lu Mo’s kindness.

The two of them were chatting happily when Qiao He’s phone rang.

Qiao He’s phone was inconvenient, so he begged Huo Xiaoran, “Brother, help me answer the call.”

Huo Xiaoran picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID on the screen—Sister.

His hands trembled inexplicably. He tried to adjust his voice, filtering out all the sharpness and distance. “An’an.”

Qiao An suddenly heard Huo Xiaoran’s voice and couldn’t hide her disappointment. “Why is my brother at your house?”

Huo Xiaoran had nothing to live for.

“I didn’t despise him but it looks like I’m the one being despised. In that case, come and get him.”

Qiao An was speechless.

“Is his injury all right?”

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “He can’t move. I need to check where he’s injured.”

Qiao An panicked when she heard that he couldn’t move.

“Then I’ll be right over. Give me the address.”

Huo Xiaoran’s thin lips curled up slightly and he immediately shared his address with Qiao An.

Qiao An rushed over in a hurry. At the entrance of the courtyard, she was fascinated by the majestic and elegant courtyard that stood in the twilight.

Qiao An was in a daze when the carved door in front of her suddenly chimed and opened automatically.

Just as Qiao An was wondering why the door opened by itself, she saw Huo Xiaoran walking over in casual home clothes.
