Chapter 157: His Gift, Qiao An’s Home

Loco said, “An’an, cry if you want to.”

Loco knew how much Qiao An loved Li Xiaoran. Li Xiaoran was the only man she had ever loved in her entire adolescence.

Qiao An said stubbornly, “Isn’t it just a breakup? It’s not a big deal.”

Loco reminded Qiao An very calmly, “If you and Li Xiaoran can’t reconcile, you have to think about the child in your stomach. If he doesn’t have a father, he will suffer a lot of disdain in the future. Qiao An, why don’t you listen to me and… induce labor while the child is still young?”

Qiao An shook his head like a rattle. “Coco, I won’t get married in my life. I’ll let this child accompany me in the future.”

Locke also knew that Qiao An had a stubborn personality. Once she decided on something, even ten cows wouldn’t be able to stop her, so he simply let her be.

Qiao An walked to the window and looked through the transparent French windows at the flourishing scenery and streets of the capital. Everyone yearned for the capital, a place of luxury, but Qiao An felt that this place was not human at all.

Qiao An had the strong urge to escape from capital. If she left this place, she would never come back. She would let her and Li Xiaoran completely become sealed memories.

When Li Xiaoran realized that the gifts on the shelf had been emptied, it was already noon the next day.

He woke up naturally and walked out of the bedroom. Lu Mo had yet to leave and had tidied up the house.

Li Xiaoran was usually a clean and tidy person, but today, he felt that the cleanliness of the house made him feel uncomfortable. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the house was much emptier.

All the gifts on the shelf were emptied.

The painted relief on the wall was covered by a huge light canvas.

Li Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo in shock and roared, “Why did you touch my things?”

Lu Mo had never seen Li Xiaoran lose his temper. His handsome face and veins were bulging, scaring Lu Mo silly.

When she was cleaning up Qiao An’s things, she only hated Qiao An and secretly thought that Li Xiaoran would be angry. However, she thought that even if she made a mistake, a gentle and modest gentleman like Li Xiao ran would at most be unhappy and not so mad.

However, Li Xiaoran’s sinister expression made her entire body tremble. He had become so unfamiliar.

Lu Mo said with reddened eyes, “Senior, didn’t you say that you wanted to bid farewell to Qiao An’s past? Then if you keep her things, it will bring back memories.”

Li Xiaoran’s eyes were red as he said angrily, “Where’re the things? Return them immediately.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.

She had already sent the items back to Qiao An. Her goal was to make Qiao An give up on her senior. Qiao An had a strong personality. As long as she didn’t want her senior brother anymore, a proud person like her senior wouldn’t pester her for nothing.

The couple would be separated. Only then could she take advantage of the situation.

Lu Mo would never ask Qiao An for the packages. She braced herself and said, “Senior, I threw them into the trash can outside.”

Li Xiaoran suddenly ran out. Lu Mo saw him running towards the trash can outside and saw that a person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder actually reached out to lift the lid of the trash can. But how could his things be in the trash can?

Lu Mo saw Li Xiaoran’s disappointed and desperate expression.

She ran out crying and realized that the trash can had been emptied by the workers. Li Xiaoran seemed to have suffered a blow and stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

Lu Mo reached out to pull him back, but Li Xiaoran shook her off and roared at her, “Lu Mo, this is not a place you should be. This is the home I bought for Qiao An. This doesn’t belong to you. You shouldn’t have destroyed everything here.”

Lu Mo stood rooted to the ground in a daze, her vanity shattered by Li Xiaoran. She thought that she had found a handsome and rich man, but she did not expect that his wealth was prepared for Qiao An.

Lu Mo broke down and cried. “Senior, I’m your fiancée. Did you get my permission to buy another woman a house?”

Li Xiaoran explained weakly, “Lu Mo, I promised An’an that I would give her a home. This is a promise. It won’t change because of our relationship. If you want a house, I’ll buy it for you, but not here.”

“Don’t come here again.” With that, Li Xiaoran staggered away.

Lu Mo was trembling with anger.

Then, she ran back into the house, grabbed her bag, and ran out without looking back.

Li Xiaoran stood in the middle of the empty house. There was no trace of Qiao An here. Li Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with intense despair.

The motivation that supported his struggle was instantly disintegrated.

The scene in his mind, Qiao An hugging him from behind, the children singing and laughing at home, became a mirage.

Perhaps because of the blow, Li Xiaoran had an inexplicable fever again.

When Huo Zhou called him, Li Xiaoran’s voice was weak when he picked up the phone. Huo Zhou rushed over and saw Li Xiaoran sitting on the sofa dejectedly with a bottle in his hand. There were also a few empty bottles piled up everywhere.

Huo Zhou rushed forward and snatched the wine bottle from Li Xiaoran’s hand. When he accidentally touched Li Xiaoran’s hand, he was shocked by his abnormal body temperature.

“You have a fever. Xiaoran, you’re sick. Why are you drinking?” Huo Zhou pulled him up and sent Li Xiaoran to the hospital.

Li Xiaoran had an inexplicable fever due to mental reasons. There was nothing unusual with his entire body. This made Huo Zhou especially worried about his mental condition.

After all, Xiao Ran’s mother was rumored to have committed suicide because of depression.

Huo Zhou was afraid that Li Xiaoran would repeat his mother’s path. In order to take better care of Li Xiaoran, he simply moved the sick Li Xiaoran to his house.

Li Xiaoran had a raging fever for the entire night and called Qiao An’s name in a daze. Huo Zhou counted for him, a total of 117 times.

The next day, Li Xiaoran woke up. Huo Zhou sat at the head of the bed and looked at Li Xiaoran meaningfully.

“Last night you called Qiao An’s name all night. Like her that much?”

Li Xiaoran was stunned and nodded sadly.

Huo Zhou had been in the business world where the strong preyed on the weak for a long time and had the wildness of a wild beast. When he saw Li Xiaoran so dispirited for Qiao An, he gave him a trick. “Xiaoran, if you really can’t leave her, snatch her over.”

Li Xiaoran was a modest gentleman. He loved Qiao An and respected her. “She hates me. It’s too cruel for me to keep her by my side.”

Huo Zhou frowned. Li Xiaoran was always considerate of others. This kindness made him hate and pity her.

In his opinion, women were the prey of hunters. Who cared if she was willing or not? Hunting was the way to go.
