Chapter 274: Unable to Love

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Mo’s eyes were red with jealousy and disappointment. She knew that Huo Xiaoran would never forgive Uncle Li. After all, Uncle Li had provoked Qiao An.

But she knew when to stop. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked him obediently and gently, “My mother asked me to ask you when we can prepare for the wedding.”

Huo Xiaoran was a little distracted as he stared in the direction Qiao An left in anger. When he suddenly heard Lu Mo’s words, he blurted out, “Momo, do you think we still need to get married?”

Lu Mo suddenly trembled. She said with tears in her eyes, “Senior, you were the one who said that as long as my Uncle Li is arrested, you’ll marry me.”

Huo Xiaoran shifted his gaze from Qiao An to Lu Mo. Looking at Lu Mo’s expectant gaze, his heart sank slightly.

“Momo, you won’t be happy at all if you marry me.”

Lu Mo said, “Senior is kind-hearted, handsome, and talented. He’s the dream lover of all women. Anyone who marries you will be happy.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Husband and wife are a combination of spirit and flesh. Momo, I can’t even touch you. Why are you so obsessed with a marriage of convenience?”

Lu Mo widened her eyes and said aggrievedly, “Are you going to break the engagement?”

A hint of loneliness appeared on Huo Xiaoran’s thin lips. It was extremely charming.

“Since you’re so persistent, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

Lu Mo was overjoyed. She looked at Huo Xiaoran in high spirits, but when she saw the endless darkness in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes, her heart seemed to have been bitten by something.

That was a devilish side of Huo Xiaoran that she rarely saw. She had actually heard that Huo Xiaoran could turn the Angel Group into an industry giant in the capital in just three years. His business methods were definitely not as gentle as he looked.

She had heard that he was bold and decisive, and also scheming.

She was a little terrified, but she felt that if her senior brother be so devoted to Qiao An, he would not use such a cold method to deal with her.

Lu Mo was overjoyed. She nodded excitedly. “Then I’ll get my mother to prepare for our wedding.”

After Lu Mo left, Huo Xiaoran’s gaze became darker and darker.

At this moment, Huo Zhou walked forward and teased Huo Xiaoran, “Are you really going to marry her?”

Huo Xiaoran did not answer him.

Huo Zhou said, “I think she’s deeply in love with you. Xiaoran, you don’t love her, and you shouldn’t have lied to her. I’m really afraid that you’ll regret wronging such a good girl.”

Huo Xiaoran turned around and looked at Huo Zhou. “Do you think she’s a good girl?”

Huo Zhou said, “You’re not me. I’m used to bullying others. I’m not afraid of being turned upside down or going to hell after death. Therefore, I’ve let down countless women. But you’re different. You value relationships and righteousness. If Qiao An treats you well, you can’t wait to love her with all your heart. I’m afraid that one day, you’ll realize that Qiao An is no longer the Qiao An in your heart, and Lu Mo will become the one that got away. You’ll spend the rest of your life repenting for Lu Mo?”

“Xiaoran, leave a way out for us in the future.”

Huo Xiaoran said faintly, “Zhou Zhou, you have bad taste.”

Huo Zhou was speechless.

He had seen countless people and had experienced more women than Huo Xiaoran, a great Casanova. Yet, Huo Xiaoran said that he had bad taste?

Huo Zhou expressed his dissatisfaction.

“Xiaoran, what’s wrong with my taste?”

“Lu Mo is not as simple as you think,” Huo Xiaoran said.

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

Huo Xiaoran continued, “Qiao An is not as deep as you think.”

Huo Zhou muttered, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

Huo Xiaoran ignored Huo Zhou and strode after Qiao An.

When he arrived at Xiao Yue’s villa, Qiao An was walking out of the villa with three cute children in disguise.

Huo Xiaoran stepped forward to stop her. He held Qiao An’s hand and said, “An’an, don’t go.”

Qiao An took off her sunglasses and smiled at him, but her smile contained a hint of misery.

“Brother Xiaoran, the children have been disturbing Yueyue for many days. It’s not appropriate for them to continue staying here.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Then move to my villa. Anyway, I bought that villa for you.”

If it were in the past, Qiao An might have accepted Huo Xiaoran’s good intentions. However, after hearing that Huo Xiaoran had agreed to Lu Mo’s proposal, she no longer dared to approach Huo Xiaoran alone.

She tactfully refused and said, “Brother Xiaoran, I appreciate your kindness, but the gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Her tone was polite but distant.

She even looked at him evasively.

Huo Xiaoran was stunned. “Are you jealous?”

Qiao An smiled politely. “You are a couple. If I’m jealous, I’ll look bad. Brother Xiaoran, I’m not the same Qiao An I used to be. I know my limits.”

Huo Xiaoran’s heart ached as if it had been pierced by needles.

Did that mean that she was treating him as a married man and was afraid of being close to him?

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An steadily. He saw that Qiao An’s eyes were visibly red. However, she endured it and adjusted her emotions very quickly.

She gave him a friendly smile. “I should go. Goodbye, Brother Xiaoran.”

Huo Xiaoran glanced at her three children. Every child was wearing huge-framed sunglasses and a black mask. The little boy was even wearing a hat, as if he had put himself in a condom.

Pain rippled through him. The past three years hadn’t been easy for Qiao An. Because she’d been hurt, she was always on her guard.

He thought Li Changhai had hurt Qiao An’s sense of security. His hatred for Li Changhai deepened.

When Qiao An pulled the children away, Huo Xiaoran suddenly said behind her, “An’an, Lu Mo and I are preparing to get married.”

Qiao An’s back stiffened. At that moment, she almost couldn’t control her emotions. She wanted to indulge herself for once. She wanted to question him angrily. Since he still had feelings for Lu Mo, why did he still profess to love her?

She even had the urge to shove the children in front of him and beg him to live with her for the sake of the children.

But she was incomparably rational and proud.

She knew that once she did that, a lot of things would spiral out of control. And they both of them might not be able to give their children a healthy family.

Instead of that, it was better for her to work hard and raise the children. At least the children would be healthy and happy.

At that time, Qiao An’s thoughts were in a mess. She did not respond to Huo Xiaoran and only left silently.

But the next thing she knew, he was tugging at her hand. She couldn’t go.

Huo Xiaoran pulled her hand and forcefully turned her body over. He was originally very angry that she was unwilling to stop him and did not ask him in detail why he and Lu Mo were married.

However, when he saw her tear-stained face, Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.
