Chapter 271: Unable to Control Her Feelings, Monitoring the Lu Family

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao An’s mind was blown. In the face of Huo Xiaoran’s straightforward request, she was actually a little embarrassed and uneasy.

She thought of those youthful and beautiful vows. He professed to love her, protect her, hold her hand, and grow old with her. She respected him and felt sorry for him. She wanted to be his gentle flower and give him the warmest light in the world.

She wanted to disregard everything and sink with him. But—her conscience, her morals, wouldn’t allow her to fall.

“Brother Xiaoran, you can’t,” she resisted.

When he bent to kiss her cheek, she clearly wanted to respond to him, but what she finally did was push him away ruthlessly.

“An’an, come back to me. Okay?”

“I don’t do third parties.” Qiao An sat up abruptly.

Huo Xiaoran sat up and pulled her into his arms. “Silly, how could I put you in such an awkward situation? You’re not a mistress.”

Qiao An looked at his sincere face and sighed. “Brother Xiaoran, thank you for loving me. But I don’t want to be with you. At least not now.”

Huo Xiaoran also guessed what she was thinking. “It’s because you remember Lu Mo’s shallow kindness to you. You don’t want Lu Mo to be hurt, right?”

Qiao An shook her head. “I just don’t want to become someone like Wei Xin.”

What Lu Mo had done for her had long been exhausted by her schemes.

Qiao An had been investigating her recently, and she had found something strange. For example, the person who was sick in the Lu family was clearly Lu Mo, but the person who took the medicine on time after three meals a day was Mrs. Lu.

Qiao An had already guessed at some of the truth, but she had always been steady. She never spoke without thinking.

Lu Mo’s image was quickly disintegrating in Qiao An’s heart. Qiao An knew that her kindness to Lu Mo would probably turn into monstrous hatred in the end.

Huo Xiaoran’s expression paled.

He collapsed on the bed and asked Qiao An desperately, “An’an, would I lose everything if I took a wrong step?”

Qiao An looked into his lifeless face, his desperate eyes. She felt pity.

She told him, “Brother Xiaoran, wouldn’t you feel guilty about breaking up with her?”

Huo Xiaoran was completely dumbfounded.

Would he feel guilty?

If Lu Mo was innocent and kind, he would naturally feel guilty. However, his intuition told him that Li Changhai had hurt Qiao An. It was very likely that Lu Mo was an accomplice. If the evidence was conclusive, he would no longer feel guilty.

“Not necessarily,” he said.

Qiao An smiled. She jumped off the bed and threw Huo Xiaoran a gorgeous look. “Brother Xiaoran, if one day you discover that Lu Mo is not the Lu Mo you know and understand, you can break up with her.”

She suddenly leaned forward and said charmingly, “Brother Xiaoran, I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait for you to return to me cleanly.”

At that moment, Huo Xiaoran felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

His Qiao An was so close. He had her at his fingertips. It was because he wasn’t determined enough that he pushed Qiao An away from him.

Qiao An canceled the rental and house she rented was transferred to Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Zhou asked Huo Xiaoran in confusion, “Xiaoran, why did you rent this house? Do you want to learn from Qiao An and monitor the whereabouts of the Lu family?”

Huo Xiaoran thought of Qiao An’s reminder: If one day, you discover that Lu Mo is not the Lu Mo you know and understand… A strong emotion surged in his heart. He wanted to understand Lu Mo in all aspects.

Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m not interested in the Lu family, but I’m very curious about what Qiao An has found out.”

Huo Zhou said, “Then can’t you just ask her directly? Why bother?”

Huo Xiaoran paused and said, “She has formed a front with Lu Mo.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

Huo Xiaoran smiled bitterly. “Zhou Zhou, did I really show that I love Lu Mo?”

Huo Zhou teased, “You’re really a failure. After wooing Qiao An for so many years, she didn’t feel your deep love at all.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes suddenly lit up as if he had understood something. “Am I not loving you enough?”

Huo Zhou rolled his eyes at him. “You’re already so lowly in love. You gave her the house, the company, and even your life. In my opinion, is Qiao An’s system for perception too slow?”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes darkened. “It’s probably because Lu Mo and I are already engaged that she misunderstood.”

Huo Zhou said, “So, are you going to break up with Lu Mo?”

Huo Xiaoran pondered for a long time before shaking his head firmly.

“I still need to use my status as Lu Mo’s fiancé to enter and leave the Lu family.”

Huo Zhou sighed.

After Qiao An left, all the supplies in the rental house were left to Huo Xiaoran. Huo Xiaoran wandered around the rental house a few times and saw that the kitchen utensils were all green appliances. They looked lively.

There was also a pot of verdant four-leaf clovers on the balcony.

Huo Xiaoran looked at them and the gap in his heart gradually widened. He suddenly realized that missing out on Qiao An was the worst thing he had done.

When he had nothing to do, he sat in front of the binoculars like Qiao An and pointed the camera at the window of the Lu family’s villa.

Perhaps his efforts had paid off. He really did see something wrong with the piano room.

Every day, someone would bring food to the piano room, but the person in the piano room did not come out during the day or night.

Huo Xiaoran said to Huo Zhou, “Qiao An told me that Li Changhai is hiding in the piano room.”

Huo Zhou interrupted him. “It’s illegal for you to monitor the Lu family like this. Even if you know that Li Changhai is hiding in the Lu family, can you expose him?”

Huo Xiaoran rolled his eyes at him. “Call Officer Huang and tell him that I’ve been missing for a long time in the Lu family. Ask him to bring someone to collect me.”

Huo Zhou widened his eyes. “You’re really scheming.”

As expected, Huo Zhou called his old friend, Officer Huang. Due to their friendship, Huo Zhou explained to Officer Huang patiently, “My Xiaoran went to the Lu family yesterday and hasn’t returned yet. Officer Huang, as you know, the Lu family used to have a driver called Li Changhai. He’s the murderer who hurt Qiao An. I’m afraid Xiaoran will be imprisoned by him.”

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou had a huge influence in the capital. Officer Huang did not dare to neglect them either. He immediately sent out a police officer.

Huo Zhou followed Huo Xiaoran’s instructions and told Officer Huang about the Lu family’s traffic system. He even asked Officer Huang to block all the exits before entering the house to search.

Officer Huang quickly sent plainclothes officers to block the exit.

Although he kept a low profile, he still alarmed the Lu family.

The servant ran to Mrs. Lu’s room in a panic and reported the situation outside. “Madam, there are a few strangers outside the villa. They look suspicious.”
