Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Senior,” Lu Mo ran out and held Huo Xiaoran’s hand very naturally. She asked excitedly, “Are you here to discuss marriage with me?” Although she was asking Huo Xiaoran, her tone was very firm.

Huo Xiaoran’s tall and mighty body trembled, and his handsome face instantly darkened.

He turned to look at her. “Didn’t I tell you I don’t want to talk about our marriage until Li Changhai’s return?”

Lu Mo’s gorgeous dreams turned into bubbles. She was like a flower bud that had been ravaged by a storm, instantly withering.

Her lips trembled. “Senior, do you not want to marry me?”

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and spent some time organizing his words. However, just as he was about to speak, his phone rang at the wrong time, interrupting Huo Xiaoran’s thoughts.

He picked up the phone and clicked on the screen. There was an unread text message. He slid it open and saw the long list of unfamiliar phone numbers and the message that was strangely familiar.

“Brother, Li Changhai is hiding in Lu Mo’s piano room. Find a way to go in. Be careful.”

Huo Xiaoran reacted for a moment. Who could have provided him with information about Li Changhai?

But when he saw the title, he came back to his senses.

Hadn’t Qiao An called him brother when she was young?

Huo Xiaoran became vigilant.

Qiao An had texted him, but how did she know he was at the Lu residence?

Could she be nearby?

Huo Xiaoran looked around sharply and saw a brightly lit villa opposite the villa.

The upper layer of the villa provided a vantage point for looking into Lu Mo’s house. At this moment, there was a pot of big-leafed turtle-backed bamboo beside the floor-to-ceiling window of the villa opposite. Behind the window gauze, someone was moving.

Huo Xiaoran sent a message to Huo Zhou. “Zhou Zhou, find a way to rent the upper villa opposite for me.

“No problem.” Huo Zhou was straightforward.

Then, Huo Zhou got out of the car and walked towards the villa opposite.

For some reason, Huo Xiaoran felt sad for Qiao An.

She was a girl who had been bullied by Li Changhai time and time again. She didn’t choose to rely on him because he was still Lu Mo’s fiancé. He had not been reliable in helping her, so she chose to do it alone.

Huo Xiaoran heaved a long sigh of relief. When he opened his mouth again, his tone became cold. “Momo, you should know that there’s no love between us. In my life, I’ve given all my love to Qiao An. It’s just that Qiao An and I are not fated, so Senior is willing to fulfill your wishes. However…”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his gaze became extremely sharp. “If willingness leads to your selfishness and desire, and results in harmful outcomes to othersl, I can take back my decision at any time.”

Lu Mo swayed.

Her intuition told her that Huo Xiaoran really suspected that she was related to Li Changhai’s attempted murder.

Lu Mo felt extremely flustered.

When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter go from being filled with joy to being dealt a blow, she couldn’t help but blame Huo Xiaoran.

“Xiaoran, you’re Momo’s fiancé, but you’ve never made my Momo happy. You always make her very unhappy. I don’t think you came to the Lu family to propose to Lu Mo. Are you here to break up with her?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Mrs. Lu steadily and quickly got to the point. “Mrs. Lu, you misunderstood me. I didn’t come to the Lu family today to propose or break up. I’m just here to visit Lu Mo.”

The answer was neither good nor bad.

To Lu Mo and her daughter, having no bad news was the best news.

Mrs. Lu quickly instructed her daughter, “Momo, aren’t you going to bring Xiaoran to your room to rest?” Her eyes were filled with scheming.

Lu Mo understood and held Huo Xiaoran’s hand as they walked upstairs. She said excitedly, “Senior, my father bought me a little pet to relieve my boredom. I’ll bring you to take a look.”

Huo Xiaoran also wanted to take a look at her piano room, so he did not refuse.

However, Lu Mo holding his hand made him feel especially unnatural, especially when he thought of Qiao An looking at him somewhere.

He retracted his hand and silently followed behind Lu Mo. He pretended to be curious and asked Lu Mo, “Uncle and Auntie’s bedrooms are also on this floor?”

Lu Mo said, “No, Daddy’s bedroom is on the third floor.”

Huo Xiaoran pretended to be casual. “Are these rooms empty?”

Lu Mo explained to him enthusiastically, “This room is my dance room, this is my cloakroom, this is my study, and over there is the piano room.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at the piano room. “You know how to play the piano? I’ve never heard of you playing the piano. Momo, play a song for me?”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded, and her eyes were very unnatural.

But it was fleeting. She smiled. “Senior, go see my little pet first. Then we’ll go to the piano room. How about that?”

Huo Xiaoran pondered for a moment and said, “Alright.”

Lu Mo brought him into her bedroom. A hamster was trapped in a cage and squeaking.

Huo Xiaoran sized up the rodent with disgust in his eyes.

He really didn’t like pets like that.

Lu Mo poured a glass of water for Huo Xiaoran and added something to the water when he wasn’t paying attention. Then, she walked up to Huo Xiaoran with the glass of water. “Senior, drink some water.”

Huo Xiaoran did not suspect anything and happened to be a little thirsty. He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Lu Mo began to teach him the biological characteristics of hamsters. To Huo Xiaoran, it was simply a lullaby. Soon, Huo Xiaoran became drowsy.

Lu Mo could not suppress the joy in her eyes.

“Senior.” Her voice was getting softer.

She was getting closer to him.

Huo Xiaoran stood up shakily. “Momo, let’s go to the piano room. I still want to listen to you play.”

“Okay,” Lu Mo said.

Huo Xiaoran stood up, but his entire body was weak. He staggered and fell onto the bed. Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

“Senior.” Lu Mo called him a few times without any reaction.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the villa opposite.

Qiao An looked into the binoculars. Huo Xiaoran was in a dangerous situation with Lu Mo but shehad no choice but to leave the binoculars to open the door.

She looked out of the peephole first and saw Huo Zhou. Qiao An felt like she had been presented with a straw to clutch at. She quickly pulled open the door.

Huo Zhou was stunned by Qiao An when he saw her. “Qiao An, why are you here?”

Qiao An couldn’t be bothered with small talk. She said anxiously to Huo Zhou,

“Brother Huo, you came at the right time. Brother Xiaoran is in danger. You have to save him quickly.”

Huo Zhou only came back to his senses after a long time. “What danger can he be in?”
