Chapter 196: No One Can Compare to Qiao An

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Usually, when Lu Mo cried, Huo Xiaoran would give in and follow her wishes.

But today, no matter how Lu Mo cried, Huo Xiaoran put on a cold and determined expression.

With a livid expression, he insisted on seeking justice for Qiao An. “Lu Mo, if I don’t cripple his third leg, I won’t be able to rest.”

Lu Mo was extremely panicked. In the end, she lay on her cousin and cried, “If you want to hit me, then hit me. Anyway, I’m about to die. I’ll exchange my life for my cousin’s. Senior, this way, your heart should be balanced, right?”

Huo Xiaoran was furious. “Lu Mo, get up.”

“I’m not getting up.”

From the bedroom, she suddenly heard something fall to the floor.

Huo Xiaoran was stunned and a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.

He was no longer in the mood to deal with Lu Mo’s brother. He said to the bodyguard, “Drag him away.”

After everyone left, Huo Xiaoran hurried to the bedroom.

Before Lu Mo left, she glanced at the bedroom with a cold hatred in her eyes.

In the bedroom, Qiao An didn’t know how she slept. The two-meter bed wasn’t enough for her to roll around. In the end, she fell straight off. Even with the bruises on her forehead, she could continue to sleep soundly.

A doting smile appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes. He walked over, picked her up again, and placed her gently on the bed.

He sat with her all night.

At dawn, Qiao An slowly opened her eyes.

She saw that she was lying on a huge bed, but Huo Xiaoran was sitting on a chair at the side and sleeping on the bedside table.

The image of her begging him for her last night suddenly appeared in her mind.

She lifted the bedding and checked her clothes.

“Don’t worry. I didn’t touch you last night.” Huo Xiaoran’s voice suddenly sounded.

Qiao An stared at him blankly. There was a probing look in her eyes that looked more like self-pity.

Damn.

Was she not pretty enough? She had fair skin, long legs, and a delicate body.

In front of a beauty like her, he could sit still when she had even tried her best to seduce him. He was clearly looking down on her.

Qiao An’s pride took a hit.

Women were such strange animals. Although she wouldn’t allow him to bully her, she felt inexplicably disappointed that he really wouldn’t.

This was what it meant to be cheap.

She sat up in bed. “Huo Xiaoran, are you impotent?” She would rather believe that he was impotent than admit that she was not charming.

God only knew how much he’d endured last night.

He suddenly leaned forward and leaned close to her, his eagle eyes cold. “Qiao An, I shouldn’t have been gentlemanly with you last night.”

Blushing, she quickly changed the subject. “I’m not awake yet. I’m going to sleep some more.” Then she lay down and pulled the blanket over her head.

Huo Xiaoran was a little surprised. He seemed to have seen her ears turn red.

Was she shy?

She was the one who had flirted with him first, wasn’t she?

Qiao An lay on the bed.

She heard Huo Xiaoran washing up in the bathroom and muttered in a daze, “I was drugged by Lu Mo last night. With Lu Mo’s love for Huo Xiaoran, she definitely didn’t want to send me to Huo Xiaoran’s bed.”

However, she actually asked Huo Xiaoran for help under such circumstances. It seemed that she was still subconsciously very dependent on this man.

After Huo Xiaoran came out of the bathroom, Qiao An fell asleep again.

Huo Xiaoran quietly closed the hotel door and went to the restaurant to eat.

Coincidentally, Huo Zhou was also in the dining room.

Seeing Huo Xiaoran, he took the initiative to move his seat in front of Huo Xiaoran and started gossiping.

“I heard you beat up your brother-in-law yesterday?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “You’re quite informed.”

Huo Zhou decided to take this as Huo Xiaoran’s praise. “I heard that it was useless even if Lu Mo pleaded with you.”

Huo Xiaoran stared at Huo Zhou. “What are you trying to say? Get to the point.”

Huo Zhou said, “I don’t understand. Why are you so good to Qiao An? Lu Mo is the woman who will be with you for the rest of her life in the future. If you dote on Qiao An so openly in ancient times, it would be called spoiling your concubine and killing your wife. You will be cursed.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m happy to dote on Qiao An.”

After a long while, Huo Zhou said calmly, “If you want to dote on Qiao An, you have to have a bottom line, right? I heard that you almost beat Lu Mo’s cousin to the point of being impotent last night. You haven’t even entered your mother-in-law’s house and you’ve already made enemies with your in-laws. In the future, if your mother-in-law makes things difficult for you, will your life be easy?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “The Lu family didn’t teach their children well. They should thank me for helping them teach their children.”

Huo Zhou also knew that Lu Mo’s cousin had gone overboard. Huo Xiaoran was magnanimous and upright, so he naturally couldn’t stand this kind of scumbag.

It was also right to punish him severely.

However, Huo Zhou still didn’t understand why Huo Xiaoran would tolerate Qiao An so unconditionally.

“Xiaoran, what’s so good about Qiao An? You’re obsessed with her.”

Huo Zhou’s words evoked a lot of Huo Xiaoran’s past.

“Her merits are uncountable.”

“Tell me about it,” Huo Zhou said.

Huo Xiaoran looked at his watch. It was still early. At this time, Qiao An was still sleeping and it was not time for work. He would talk to Huo Zhou about the beautiful past he had hidden in his heart.

“Zhou Zhou, when I first entered university, I actually had a serious depression. Qiao An appeared at that time and could cure my depression. Do you know how much she paid?”

“Tell me about it.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “At that time, I was unyielding. When I was in school, I gritted my teeth and didn’t ask for a single cent from the Li family. After suffering from depression, I was weak all over and couldn’t work to earn money. Even affording the basic necessities was a problem. It was An’an who secretly gave me all her savings.”

Huo Zhou’s eyes widened in shock…

He was too shocked.

It was actually so difficult for Huo Xiaoran when he was in his first year of university.

“I suffered from depression for two whole years and it was An’an who raised me. At that time, I thought her family was rich and her living expenses were high. Because she gave me a full hundred thousand dollars from beginning to end. Later, I got out of her that she must have secretly sold her blood for me. Because during that time, she always ate pig liver. She also asked me many questions about raw blood.”

At this point, Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were clearly moist.

“That’s when I made a silent vow to get better. To live for her.”

Huo Zhou seemed to understand why Huo Xiaoran had fallen in love with Qiao An.

Qiao An was Huo Xiaoran’s savior. Her kindness to him was greater than the sky.

He finally understood that no woman in this world could replace Qiao An in Huo Xiaoran’s heart.

After all, Qiao An was the one who had accompanied him through the darkest years.

Qiao An had also given her heart to him.

Without a doubt, Huo Xiaoran was lucky to have met Qiao An.
