Chapter 370: Meeting Him by Chance

Huo Xiaoran was overjoyed. “Then I’ll pick Dad up tomorrow?”

He called Qiao An’s father Dad with extreme natural affection, as if Father Qiao was his biological father.

Qiao An looked at him incredulously and teased playfully, “Did you pay my father a change of address? You didn’t, right? If you didn’t, you’re not allowed to call him Dad.”

Huo Xiaoran hurriedly said, “Here, I’ll prepare a big red packet tomorrow and personally send it to Zeng City.”

Huo Xiaoran’s respect and filial piety to Father Qiao made Qiao An very happy.

She looked at Huo Xiaoran emotionally and suddenly thought of her first marriage. At that time, she did not have a decent wedding or even a formal ring. Li Zecheng, that bastard, gave the wedding ring to Wei Xin and gave her the free gift, but she still married him happily.

Even her parents had never enjoyed any preferential treatment from Li Zecheng.

She married Li Zecheng without hesitation because at that time, she thought that Li Zecheng was her beloved angel.

Who would have thought that the lack of regard in the beginning of the marriage foreshadowed that her marriage was destined to end in tragedy?

Now that she saw that Huo Xiaoran valued her so much and loved her because he loved her and respected her father, Qiao An felt even more troubled by that misplaced marriage.

She suddenly approached Huo Xiaoran gently and wrapped her arms around his waist. She said with tears in her eyes, “Brother Xiaoran, if only I hadn’t recognized the wrong person back then, Mom wouldn’t have left with regrets.”

Huo Xiaoran patted her back gently and choked. “I’m sorry, An’an. I didn’t protect you well.”

To Huo Xiaoran, Qiao An’s misplaced marriage was a thorn in his heart.

As long as he thought about how Qiao An had once run to Li Zecheng without hesitation and without asking for any betrothal gifts, and how the person she really wanted to marry at that time was him, his heart ached.

The couple embraced in the morning breeze.

Suddenly, a tall man faced her.

Qiao An noticed from the corner of her eye that the man seemed to be staring at them. Qiao An instinctively stared back.

The man had deep eyes that were as sharp as swords, making one shudder.

Qiao An’s attention was instantly captured by him. She stared at him blankly, and the man stared at her without blinking.

His facial features were very three-dimensional and exquisite. Although his face was covered in experience, there was no trace of vicissitudes. There was only the experience and sharpness of time on him.

When he passed by Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran, his gaze moved from Qiao An to Huo Xiaoran, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up.

Then like a breeze, he sped up and soon his back disappeared around the corner.

“Brother Xiaoran, this man is so strange,” Qiao An said fearfully.

Huo Xiaoran said, “He’s just a passerby. Let’s go.”

Qiao An nodded.

When Huo Xiaoran held her hand and left, she couldn’t help but look back at the place where the man had disappeared.

However, the man’s face suddenly appeared at the corner, and his eyes were staring deeply at Huo Xiaoran. His expression was unknown.

Qiao An subconsciously grabbed Huo Xiaoran’s hand.

Why did this man give her a sense of familiarity?

After returning to Heavenly Imperial Garden, Qiao An arrived at Xiao Yue’s house uneasily. Xiao Yue was pleasantly surprised to see Qiao An.

“Sister Qiao An, I heard that the Li family hasn’t been peaceful recently. You and Cousin often return to the Li family to be peacemakers. Why, have you settled the matters over there?”

Qiao An nodded perfunctorily. “The Li family’s troubles are coming one after another. I don’t know when it will end.”

She leaned close to Xiao Yue and asked with ulterior motives, “Yueyue, I want to introduce a boyfriend to my best friend. I think your Brother Xiao Ming is quite suitable for her. I want to matchmake them.”

Xiao Yue said dejectedly, “Sister Qiao An, you should give up. Ever since my brother disappeared last time, I haven’t heard from him for so long. A few days ago, my mother said that she seemed to have seen him in the mall, but when my mother went forward to acknowledge him, he looked fierce and even called my mother a crazy woman. Only then did my mother know that she had recognized the wrong person. But after my mother came back, she always felt that she didn’t. Do you think Xiao Ming has schizophrenia? He has two personalities?”

Qiao An secretly swallowed.

She pretended to be calm and said, “In my opinion, your mother mistook someone else for him. If it’s really Brother Xiao Ming, how can he not acknowledge his family?”

Xiao Yue said, “I think so too. But my mother swore that she didn’t recognize the wrong person. In the past two days, the Xiao family has sent people to search for Brother Xiao Ming.”

Qiao An’s heart sank.

Xiao Ming had not left the capital, which meant that those people were also in the capital.

The gaze of the man she’d met on the street this morning made her feel especially panicked. Qiao An had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

Xiao Yue suddenly stared at Qiao An strangely, then leaned her head over and teased, “Sister Qiao An, you seem to be especially concerned about my brother?”

But Qiao An deliberately changed the subject. “By the way, how have you been with Qiao He recently?”

Xiao Yue was very sad. “Sister Qiao An, I really envy you. You can be with the man you like without restraint, but I can’t.”

Qiao An had long heard that Xiao Yue and Qiao He’s love path had not gone smoothly. The Xiao family looked down on Qiao He’s profession as an actor, so they ordered Xiao Yue to cut ties with Qiao He.

However, both of them were in love, so they kept fooling their families.

Qiao He was despised by the Xiao family, so as his sister, she was naturally sad.

She probed, “Yueyue, will you break up with Qiao He?”

Xiao Yue said angrily, “I’ve decided on him for the rest of my life.”

“What’s so good about Qiao He?” Qiao An was puzzled.

Xiao Yue was the daughter of a rich family with a good family background. She was also very beautiful and cultured. The boys who liked her were all from famous families. However, Xiao Yue chose to give up on those with good conditions and chose Qiao He, a poor child.

Qiao An felt that Xiao Yue was out of Qiao He’s league.

Xiao Yue’s eyes lit up at the mention of Qiao He.

“He’s hardworking, studious. And handsome. I like him anyway.”

Qiao An said, “Okay, since you like him so much, I’ll try to help you.”

Xiao Yue said excitedly, “Sister Qiao An, they all say that you’re the smartest. If you’re willing to help us, I think my matter with Qiao He will be settled.”

However, Qiao An secretly thought that it was time for her to approach the Xiao family.
