After a long time, Huo Xiaoran scolded with a red face, “Who exactly did you learn these words from?”

Qiao An smiled playfully at him. It was actually charming, making Huo Xiaoran’s heart flutter.

“There are a lot of pithy phrases like that in online literature. I’m just applying what I’ve learned,” Qiao An said casually.

Actually, there were already ripples in her heart. She was deliberately teasing Huo Xiaoran. Unfortunately, this guy was dense and did not seem to understand her thoughts.

Huo Xiaoran didn’t know how to answer and just sat there with a embarrassed expression.

At this moment, he was wondering if Qiao An’s personality had been possessed. In the past, she had always treated him coldly, unsmiling, and covered in thorns. But now, her voice was much softer, like a boneless mollusk. She was so soft that he only wanted to rub her into his arms and protect her.

The lively atmosphere in the car became a little strange. There was more coyness and ambiguity in the air.

Xiao Yue suddenly stirred up trouble. “Cousin, say something. Qiao An will pay with her body. Do you agree?”

As soon as Xiao Yue finished speaking, Qiao An’s heart tightened.

How would Huo Xiaoran answer her?

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An. “Really?”

Qiao An just laughed.

Huo Xiaoran said calmly, “Momo and I are already engaged.”

He didn’t say no, but he didn’t agree either. He threw the words out without thinking and let Qiao An experience it for herself.

Qiao An’s face darkened.

She looked out the window sadly. Could she continue her relationship with him?

When the car drove to Huaman City, Huo Xiaoran suddenly received a call from Jinghang Hospital. The doctor on the other end told him in a panic, “Doctor Li, it’s bad. Doctor Lu’s condition has worsened.”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression turned solemn. After hanging up the phone, he said to Qiao An, “An’an, Lu Mo’s condition has worsened. I have to leave.”

Qiao An didn’t think much of it. After all, matters of life and death were important.

She said quickly, “Then go quickly.”

Huo Xiaoran quickly unloaded the goods in the car and drove away.

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran were inseparable. He quickly unloaded the goods on the square outside the city gate before chasing after Huo Xiaoran.

Xiao Yue was so angry that she only stomped her feet. “Huo Zhou, Huo Xiaoran, how can Sister Qiao An and I carry the goods up if you unload them here?”

“Hey, Lu Mo won’t die from her illness.”

Qiao An stared at the messy pile of goods on the ground, her forehead throbbing. “Yueyue, stay here and take care of this shipment. I’ll get help.”

However, after searching the neighborhood for a long time, Qiao An couldn’t find anyone.

Qiao An walked back dejectedly. “I didn’t find anyone,” he said ruefully. “We’d better move it ourselves.”

The two women, who were already exhausted, ran back and forth more than ten times. After moving all the goods, they collapsed on the sofa when they reached home.

Xiao Yue said weakly, “Lu Mo’s illness acted up at the wrong time. You and Cousin finally reconciled and were chatting so happily, but she called at this time. She’s really insensitive.”

Qiao An was very tolerant. “Lu Mo doesn’t want to get sick. Besides, she’s Brother Xiaoran’s official girlfriend now. How can I have the right to argue?” She was actually a little sad.

Xiao Yue complained, “Lu Mo has been sick for three years, but she hasn’t shown much symptoms. However, she has dragged Cousin down. With just a call, it’s as though he received an imperial edict from the Empress Dowager. No matter how busy Cousin is, he has to go to the hospital to accompany her. Cousin has been tired these few years.”

Qiao An seemed to have been enlightened.

She sat up suddenly, like an old monk in meditation, and lowered her head in quiet thought.

“Yueyue, do you think Lu Mo’s illness is fake?”

Xiao Yue said, “With her black heart, what can’t she do?”

Qiao An’s dark pupils constricted as an idea struck her. “I have to go to the hospital.”

Xiao Yue looked at her suspiciously. “To do what?”

Qiao An said, “I was worried that I wouldn’t have a chance to get something on her. I didn’t expect you to point this out. Maybe this is my way of getting to the bottom of the investigation. I’ll have to visit her in the hospital. Maybe I can find out something.”

Xiao Yue said, “If you want to investigate if she’s really sick or not, in my opinion, this is very difficult. Think about it. Jinghang Hospital is a private hospital established by the Lu family. As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Mo must have a lot of power in Jinghang Hospital. If she pretends to be sick, many people will cover for her. How will you investigate?”

Qiao An smiled slyly. “As long as your thoughts don’t slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.”

Xiao Yue became playful. “I’ll go with you.”

The two of them casually dug out two gifts from the mountain of goods and dragged their tired bodies to Jinghang Hospital.

At the entrance to the hospital’s emergency room.

Huo Xiaoran, Huo Zhou, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the emergency room for Lu Mo.

Huo Zhou looked like he was watching from the sidelines.

Huo Xiaoran sat silently on the bench, unable to hide his worry.

Mother Lu paced back and forth.

The elevator door at the end of the corridor suddenly opened. Qiao An and Xiao Yue supported each other and walked over, exhausted.

When Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou saw the two of them, they were dumbfounded.

“What are you doing here?” Huo Zhou asked.

When Xiao Yue saw Huo Zhou, she said angrily, “You two men are too much. You unloaded the goods at the entrance and ran away. Sister Qiao An and I had to carry them more than ten times before we finished.”

In the end, she complained to herself, “Sigh, we’re so pitiful without a man to care about us.”

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Qiao An and saw that she was leaning on Xiao Yue and looking extremely tired. A hint of guilt and self-blame arose in his heart.

“Why didn’t you ask for help?” he asked Qiao An.

Embarrassed, Qiao An said, “I just moved in. I’m not familiar with the place. I couldn’t get help.”

Huo Xiaoran heard Qiao An’s extremely tired voice and thought of how Qiao An had just been discharged. She was probably even more exhausted.

Huo Xiaoran’s heart ached.

“Then why come here instead of resting at home?”

Qiao An felt guilty.

Xiao Yue covered for her. “Can we be as cold-blooded as you? I heard that Sister Lu Mo was sick. Sister Qiao An and I rushed to the hospital without even eating.”

Huo Xiaoran stepped forward and helped the staggering Qiao An to a chair.

Xiao Yue, who had lost her support, looked at Huo Zhou fiercely. “Cousin, can you be a gentleman? Help me up.”

Huo Zhou walked towards her speechlessly and reluctantly helped her up. He complained, “You’re already so tired, why did you still come out? You asked for it.”

Xiao Yue sneered at him. “No wonder a 30-year-old man like you can’t find a girlfriend. You don’t know how to be gentle with women at all.”

Huo Zhou let go. Xiao Yue staggered for a moment before stabilizing her body.

“How petty.” She sat down next to Qiao An.
