Qiao An suddenly grabbed his hand and walked anxiously to the window. She pulled Huo Zhou to the binoculars and gestured for him to look into the far mirror. She said, “Lu Mo gave Brother Xiaoran a glass of water. That water was spiked.”

Huo Zhou looked into the binoculars doubtfully. When he saw Xiao Ran’s abnormality, he ran away without a word.

Not long after, Huo Zhou barged into the Lu family’s villa.

The servant came out to stop him. “President Huo, please calm down. I’ll inform Miss and Madam now.”

She deliberately raised her voice to alert her mistress upstairs.

As expected, when Lu Mo heard the servant’s voice, she immediately retracted her thoughts. She pretended to panic and ran downstairs. “Mom, bad news. Senior fainted.”

She ran to the living room and saw Huo Zhou as if she had seen a straw to clutch at. “Brother Huo, you came at the right time. Quickly help me send Senior to the hospital.”

Huo Zhou looked at Lu Mo’s anxious expression and the tears of grief in his clear eyes. Huo Zhou actually believed that Xiaoran’s fainting might be an accident. He thought Qiao An was probably over-suspicious.

Huo Zhou’s face darkened as he asked coldly, “What happened to him?”

Lu Mo said, “It’s all my fault. I brought him the wrong cup. There were some sleeping pills in that cup. I added them to help me sleep. I drink a little every night, but I forgot to drink it last night.”

Huo Zhou looked at Lu Mo in a daze. She was so honest, and her excuse was impeccable. Huo Zhou completely believed her.

He strode to Lu Mo’s room on the second floor and saw the sleepy Huo Xiaoran. Huo Zhou simply placed him on Lu Mo’s bed and accompanied him. He decided to let Huo Xiaoran have a good sleep.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran had a mental illness and could not fall asleep usually. Even if he took sleeping pills, he could not fall asleep quickly.

It was just that he was especially dispirited and drowsy.

Huo Xiaoran said to Huo Zhou, “Zhou Zhou, take me away.”

Huo Zhou was helpless and helped Huo Xiaoran leave.

Lu Mo sent them out while crying. She explained to herself, “Senior, I’m sorry. I was too careless.”

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Lu Mo with a ruthless expression, but pretended to be calm and left.

After walking out of the Lu family villa, Huo Xiaoran asked Huo Zhou weakly, “Did you rent that villa?”

Huo Zhou said, “I’ll bring you there now.”

Then, Huo Zhou brought Huo Xiaoran to the villa group opposite. They took the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

Huo Zhou knocked on the door. Soon, Qiao An walked over and opened it.

When Huo Xiaoran saw Qiao An, his eyes widened.

“An’an, it’s indeed you.”

Actually, when he entered the Lu family’s villa and received the anonymous message, Huo Xiaoran had already guessed that Qiao An was nearby.

He easily guessed that this was the best place to observe Lu Mo. That was why he assigned Huo Zhou to rent the villa.

Qiao An looked at the two demon kings and shook her head in disappointment. She also sighed. “They can’t do anything right.”

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran were both invincible legends in the business world. Now that they were despised by a little woman, they immediately looked very embarrassed.

Huo Xiaoran said, “An’an, I’m not feeling well. Can I borrow your room to rest?”

Qiao An sidestepped. “Be my guest.”

Huo Zhou helped Huo Xiaoran in. He placed Huo Xiaoran on the sofa, but Huo Xiaoran was very dissatisfied. “Bring me to the master bedroom.”

Huo Zhou glanced at Huo Xiaoran and was stunned by this guy’s shamelessness. He didn’t want to sleep in his fiancée’s bed but insisted on going to his ex-girlfriend’s room. This double standard was shocking.

When Huo Zhou helped Huo Xiaoran to the bed, Huo Xiaoran instructed him, “Zhou Zhou, if you’re busy, you can go back first.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

Then, he glared at him angrily and reprimanded softly, “Why? Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing it so quickly? Are you afraid that I’ll disturb your private time?”

Huo Xiaoran’s thin lips curled up slightly, indicating that he was in a good mood.

However, the reason he gave was very dignified. “I think I have to stay here for a while so I can investigate the true colors of the Lu family. This concerns my lifelong happiness, so I have to be responsible for myself.”

Huo Zhou glanced outside the door and scolded Huo Xiaoran softly, “Aren’t you afraid that Qiao An will skin you alive?”

Huo Xiaoran smiled bitterly and said, “If she has such thoughts about me, our Huo family’s ancestral grave might be smoking.”

Huo Zhou was speechless.

Huo Xiaoran lay on the bed happily and pulled Qiao An’s blanket over him. The the soft blanket, and the fluffy pillow emitted a faint jasmine fragrance.

Huo Xiaoran was especially relaxed.

Huo Zhou looked at his completely unguarded appearance and shook his head helplessly. He teased Huo Xiaoran, “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll sell you out?”

At this moment, Qiao An walked in with two cups of water and said apologetically, “I don’t have good tea to serve you. Have some water.”

Huo Zhou didn’t dare to drink Qiao An’s water and said, “Put it there.”

Qiao An placed the water on the bedside table and turned to leave, but Huo Xiaoran suddenly grabbed her hand.

Qiao An looked back at him.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became awkward. Huo Zhou left with an awkward expression. Before he left, he didn’t forget to close the door.

Only Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An were left in the bedroom.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her affectionately and asked with concern, “Did you send that message?”

Qiao An nodded and looked defeated again. “It’s a pity that Li Changhai must have become suspicious after the two of you caused such a commotion today. I’m afraid he’s already thinking of running away.”

Huo Xiaoran did not care about Li Changhai. His obsidian-like eyes were filled with anger, and his love was deep. He angrily condemned Qiao An, “Do you know how dangerous it is for you to secretly investigate Li Changhai?”

Qiao An was silent. After a long while, she said, “I’m just worried that you’ve been bewitched by the Lu family and would the wrong decision.”

Huo Xiaoran said angrily, “Then what did you find out?”

Qiao An looked at him steadily. “Give me a little more time,” she begged. “The truth is already coming out.”

Huo Xiaoran said domineeringly, “Tell me everything you know. You’re not allowed to interfere in this matter in the future.”

Qiao An refused firmly. “No.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her in surprise. “Do you not trust me or trust my ability?”

Qiao An said, “Both.”

Huo Xiaoran held his chest. “I’m about to vomit blood from anger.”
