Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Zhou thought that Huo Xiaoran should have a lot to say to Qiao An, so he pulled Xiao Yue out.

Only Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An were left in the huge living room.

Huo Xiaoran was in a daze from his illness. Compared to his usual self, he had less control. He looked at Qiao An with intense affection.

“An’an, give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?” he almost begged.

Qiao An smiled and asked, “Brother Xiaoran, how do you want to make it up to me?” In fact, in Qiao An’s opinion, Huo Xiaoran had already done enough for her; after all he had given her rich assets and bought her a house.

However, Qiao An had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hoped that Huo Xiaoran would make it up to her in another way. It was just that she understood that he was engaged now and didn’t dare to expect too much.

Huo Xiaoran examined Qiao An’s eyes. “I’ll give you whatever you want.” Including himself.

Qiao An sighed slightly.

“You just can’t afford to give me what I want.”

Huo Xiaoran was slightly stunned. He pulled Qiao An’s hand in and held it tightly in his palm, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.

‘I’ll give you anything you say. I always keep my word, you know.’

Qiao An’s lips quivered, but she said nothing.

Huo Xiaoran roughly guessed that she was probably concerned about his engagement. However, she didn’t understand that he was actually not a gentleman. In the business world, he didn’t care about these rules other than not using them on her.

He didn’t care about the impact on the Lu family.

“An’an, you’ve always hated me these past few years. Is it because I didn’t protect you well and pushed you to Li Zecheng?” Huo Xiaoran had always wanted to eliminate Qiao An’s misunderstanding of him. He was tormented by the cold treatment given by the girl he loved.

Qiao An stared at him, her face clouded with guilt. “You could have just ignored me. Who asked you to keep coming? You’re asking for trouble!”

Although she was complaining about Huo Xiaoran, she was clearly upset that Huo Xiaoran had been misunderstood by her for so many years.

Huo Xiaoran said aggrievedly, “I feel very uncomfortable if you ignore me. But I thought that if I ignored you too, our relationship would really be over. People say that couples can’t have overnight grudges. I’m also trying to coax you to come home to me. I can be as humble as dust because I firmly believe that only then can a flower bloom.”

Qiao An was touched. Fortunately, Xiaoran had kept their vows so that their hearts could still be together after experiencing all kinds of hardships.

Except…

Qiao An scoffed at him. “Don’t forget you’re an engaged man now. It’s not appropriate to say such things.”

Huo Xiaoran was as aggrieved as a child. “An’an, Lu Mo and I… are not what you think. Back then, you left me resolutely. I thought that you wouldn’t want me for the rest of my life. I might as well compensate Lu Mo for helping me all these years. Lu Mo also knows that I only have you in my heart. She said that she doesn’t mind.”

Qiao An’s eyes widened as she understood where Lu Mo’s hatred for her had come from. So she had always seen her as her greatest rival.

She smiled helplessly. “Brother Xiaoran, if you still want my life to be peaceful in the future, please keep a distance from me. After all, you’re engaged. It’s against the rules for you to treat me well.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes darkened. He also knew that he had already pushed away Qiao An when he was with Lu Mo.

He nodded. “I know what to do.”

That night, Huo Xiaoran’s fever subsided and he did not get up again. The next day, he returned to his refreshed state.

When Huo Xiaoran left Huaman City, Huo Zhou saw that his face was exceptionally red and his eyes were smiling. Huo Zhou’s nervous heart immediately relaxed.

“Xiaoran, are you that happy with Qiao An?” Huo Zhou asked.

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “An’an is a rare intelligent woman in the world. She knows what I’m thinking when I talk to her, so it’s very easy to chat with her. There’s no need to guess or get angry.”

Huo Zhou said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You’ll think she’s the best no matter what she does.”

Huo Xiaoran was speechless.

Huo Zhou said, “Since you’re so compatible with her, do you want to woo her back?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Haven’t I always been doing this?”

Huo Zhou rolled his eyes at him. “Have you forgotten that you’re engaged? I think you’re so in love that you’ve thrown your career and reputation out the window.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “An’an has already reminded me.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

Ordinary women didn’t have Qiao An’s awareness. When they were clinging to the rich and powerful, they couldn’t wait to announce their relationship with her to achieve their goal of forcing a marriage.

“It’s rare for Qiao An to care about your reputation,” Huo Zhou said.

Huo Xiaoran seemed to have thought of something else, and his deep eyes inexplicably emitted a sharp light.

“Zhou Zhou, how’s the investigation on Lu Mo’s side?”

“I have an appointment with Chen, the laboratory technician at Jinghang Hospital. I’ll take you over to meet him now. How about that?”

“Okay.”

When the car drove into Huo Zhou’s office building, a slender back suddenly appeared in front of them.

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes suddenly darkened.

“Zhou Zhou, I’m afraid the Lu family has already noticed that you’re meeting the forensic scientist in private.”

Huo Zhou looked at Lu Mo and said, “Not necessarily. In my opinion, Lu Mo found out that you stayed over with Qiao An last night.”

Huo Zhou parked the car by the roadside and Huo Xiaoran said to him, “I’ll hold her back. You go and interrogate the laboratory technician.”

“Okay.”

Just like that, Huo Xiaoran pushed open the car door and got out.

When Lu Mo saw him, her expression changed.

She slowly walked towards Huo Xiaoran and probed carefully, “You went to the Li family to cause trouble yesterday?”

Huo Xiaoran said indifferently, “How did you know?”

Lu Mo was slightly stunned. Huo Xiaoran clearly resisted her asking about his private matters.

“Li Zecheng was carried into Jinghang Hospital and his life was almost in danger. How could I not know?”

Huo Xiaoran said in a relaxed tone, “I beat him up.”

Lu Mo felt uneasy. She felt that this matter was most likely related to Qiao An. After all, Huo Xiaoran had always kept a straight face. Only Qiao An could cause Huo Xiaoran to be agitated.

Moreover, Qiao An was Li Zecheng’s ex-wife. Lu Mo was worried that Huo Xiaoran had discovered some unknown secrets.

“Why did you hit him? He’s your nephew,” Lu Mo said.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her steadily. At this moment, he felt that compared to Qiao An, Lu Mo was really slow-witted.

“You’ve been with me for so long. Do you think I ever treated him as a nephew?” he asked airily.

He could not hide the disdain in his words.
