Chapter 299: Acting Cute

Huo Xiaoran felt that there was something wrong with her becoming so quiet. He found a topic to talk about. “An’an, if you’re bored, go upstairs and take a walk. You can enter any room you want. I’ve configured the facial recognition on the lock. You can enter.”

“Huo Xiaoran, does Lu Mo know that you have so much feelings for me?” Qiao An suddenly asked.

Huo Xiaoran pinched her face. “She knows.”

Qiao An, who was sick, seemed to be so tired that she didn’t have the strength to fight. Her eyes were very gray. She only stammered, “You’re letting us down by doing this. When did you become so terrifying?”

Huo Xiaoran’s hand trembled as he held the bowl. He had let Qiao An down and would never be able to repay her love in this lifetime, but he had not let Lu Mo down.

Speaking of which, he had saved Lu Mo before, but Lu Mo had acted out the story of a farmer and a snake with him. She had hurt the person he loved the most, so how could he let her off easily?

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran was already completely blinded by hatred.

“An’an, believe me. I will always be your Brother Xiaoran. My feelings for you have never changed.” Huo Xiaoran could only promise Qiao An over and over again. However, he was still afraid that her kindness would ruin his plan, so he was unwilling to explain the reason to her.

Qiao An looked at him. Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were bloodshot and pleading.

She couldn’t reconcile him with a two-timing scumbag.

She suddenly had an idea and asked, “What’s good about her?”

Hatred flashed across Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.

Then, he frowned and seriously fabricated Lu Mo’s merits. However, he only hated her and did not love her. It was very difficult for him to fabricate one or two merits, but he was very inexperienced.

“She’s… a doctor. We’re like-minded, I guess.”

Qiao An looked steadily into his eyes. In that instant, his abnormality struck her as odd. Perhaps it was his abnormality that inspired her determination to know the truth.

“You’re lying. You said you didn’t like having a doctor for a wife.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled awkwardly and secretly blamed himself for sharing everything with this girl in the past.

“People change,” Huo Xiaoran said.

Qiao An said, “You’ve mulled over it for a long time, and that’s all you’ve managed to squeeze out for a merit?” In her opinion, what was a career?

Huo Xiaoran was speechless.

Qiao An’s relentlessness was a little overwhelming.

“Then what are my strengths?” Qiao An suddenly leaned close to him, so close that she could see the delicate pores of his skin.

Huo Xiaoran blurted out, “You’re smart, beautiful, kind, gentle, talented, gentle…”

Qiao An frowned. “Are you memorizing the words for a ceremony?”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh. He really felt that Qiao An had many good points that he couldn’t finish talking about for three days and three nights.

However, realizing that he had praised her too much and formed a stark contrast to Lu Mo would arouse Qiao An’s suspicion.

He did the opposite. “There are many strengths and many weaknesses. For example, you’re too strong and independent. If you could learn to wheedle, it would be perfect.”

Qiao An learned how to use it and called out sweetly, “Brother, then don’t marry Lu Mo. Marry me.”

Huo Xiaoran was shocked by this soft voice and felt as if he was about to fly. Especially Qiao An’s suddenly gentle expression, it made him feel as if he had been hit by an electric current.

Only he was quickly defeated by the harsh reality. Qiao An was forcing him to make a choice with the gentlest attitude.

Even though he knew it was a trap, he nodded. “Okay.” Because he didn’t want to see her sad.

Qiao An winced. Her mind reeled as a voice hovered:

Had she succeeded in becoming a mistress? The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

She’d said it casually, and he’d responded casually. But they didn’t know that the other party’s casual comment was also a heartfelt one.

Qiao An despised herself. She pulled the blanket over her face and said to Huo Xiaoran, “Leave.”

Huo Xiaoran knew that she was embarrassed. He stood up and smiled. “Then I’ll come back to see you tonight.”

When Qiao An heard the door close, she jerked awake. She got out of bed and shouted, “Huo Xiaoran, let me out.”

When Huo Xiaoran heard her voice, he paused for a moment and pretended not to hear her before slipping away.

Qiao An lay on the bed, flustered.

At noon, Lu Mo somehow arrived at the Heavenly Imperial Garden. When she saw the bodyguards standing outside the Heavenly Imperial Garden, her eyes were filled with shock.

She quickened her pace and walked to the door. Just as she was about to enter, the bodyguard stopped her. “I’m sorry, Miss Lu. The president has ordered that no one is to enter the villa.”

Lu Mo felt even more strange. She glared and said angrily, “Your CEO and I are getting married in two days. I’ll be the mistress of this house soon. You actually dare to obstruct me?”

The bodyguard said, “I’m sorry. It’s an order from the president. We can’t disobey.”

Lu Mo wanted to barge in, but the bodyguards were standing at the door and had no intention of giving in to her. Lu Mo could only leave in disappointment.

Unexpectedly, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly heard a gentle voice.

“Miss Lu Mo.”

Lu Mo almost vomited blood from anger. She suddenly turned around, her face distorted from anger.

“Qiao An, why are you here? Didn’t Senior give you the house in Heavenly Imperial Garden? Why are you still living in his house? What are your intentions?”

Qiao An took the initiative to appear because she hoped that Lu Mo, as Mrs. Huo-to-be, could help her persuade Huo Xiaoran to let her go.

“Miss Lu, please come in.”

With that, Qiao An turned around and entered the house. She was originally sick, but she didn’t cherish her body at all. She was angry with Huo Xiaoran and had been outside in the cold all morning.

As soon as she entered the house and sat down, she sneezed several times.

Lu Mo sat opposite her and looked at her in disdain.

Her heart skipped a beat. She wondered if Huo Xiaoran would feel disgusted when he saw Qiao An in such a sorry state.

Although he was well-mannered, he had harsh standards when it came to beauty. If he found her wearing a wedding dress and a wig an eyesore, then this snotty, definitely couldn’t catch his eye.

“Dr. Lu, I invited you in because I need your help.” Qiao An lowered her stance.

Lu Mo smiled smugly.

Perhaps because her wedding with Huo Xiaoran had become a trending topic, her value had increased overnight. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry wanted to leech off her nobility and Qiao An was not immune.

“Go ahead.” Her stance was haughty.

Qiao An said, “Since you and Huo Xiaoran are about to get married, please control your man and tell him not to provoke me? Is that okay?” Qiao An frowned and said bluntly.
