Mr. Lu’s face darkened as he warned Huo Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, you and Lu Mo are about to get married. You should keep a suitable distance from the other women. Don’t cause a scandal and make a fool of yourself.”
However, Huo Xiaoran looked at Mr. Lu calmly. Looking at the green light above his head, Huo Xiaoran revealed a sympathetic expression. “Uncle loves his daughter dearly. I can understand your feelings. Don’t worry, after I get married, I’ll only treat my wife well.”
Mr. Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Mo was even more delighted.
Mr. Lu said a few more polite words before bringing Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo home.
However, at this critical moment, Mrs. Lu suddenly suggested, “Momo, I think Xiaoran’s dark circles are very heavy. He definitely hasn’t rested well these past two days. Why don’t you stay here and take good care of Xiaoran for a few days?”
Her calculations clicked. She wanted Lu Mo to stay in Heavenly Imperial Garden to watch over Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An.
Lu Mo couldn’t ask for more. Ignoring Huo Xiaoran’s intentions, she took the initiative and said, “Then Dad, Mom, you guys go back first.”
Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened.
Qiao An returned to the dining table and looked back. She saw Huo Xiaoran walking in with a sinister expression, and Lu Mo cowering behind him.
Qiao An smiled at Mother Huang. “Go prepare a set of dishes.”
When Mother Huang saw Lu Mo, she was almost scared out of her wits.
She entered the kitchen in fear and refilled Lu Mo’s bowl and chopsticks.
Just as Lu Mo and Huo Xiaoran sat at the dining table, Qiao An stood up unceremoniously. “I’m full. You guys take your time to eat.”
Huo Xiaoran was speechless. He was sure the girl was deliberately avoiding them.
Qiao An glanced at the food in the children’s bowls again and guessed that they had eaten enough. She simply instructed them, “Joey, Angel, follow Mommy upstairs.”
Angel Qiao and Joey put down their bowls and chopsticks aggrievedly. Huo Xiaoran’s heart ached for the children. He looked at Qiao An helplessly and said, “An’an, let them finish their food.”
Qiao An said, “They’ll disturb your time together if they’re here.” Then she pulled a child with each hand and headed upstairs.
Lu Mo was secretly delighted. Qiao An’s sensibility made her very happy. From now on, she could spend time alone with Huo Xiaoran.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran instantly lost his appetite and pushed the bowl and chopsticks away. “I’m full. Enjoy.” Then, he chased after Qiao An and the others.
Lu Mo’s expression was very ugly.
Huo Xiaoran chased upstairs. When Qiao An closed the door, he pushed the door with one hand.
Qiao An glared at him.
Huo Xiaoran invited eagerly, “An’an, we just finished dinner. Shall we go for a walk?”
The children cheered. They loved playing with Uncle Huo.
Qiao An scolded the children coldly. “No. From now on, you have to stay away from Uncle Huo and Auntie Lu. You can’t disturb their time.”
Actually, she was only doing this for the safety of the children.
Qiao An didn’t dare to think about Lu Mo’s bottom line. If she was involved in the terrifying things that happened, then Lu Mo was a terrifying demon.
How could Qiao An let her children near the devil?
Huo Xiaoran didn’t understand Qiao An’s intentions. He only felt that Qiao An’s decision to keep the children away from him had deeply hurt him.
Joey and Angel Qiao were so aggrieved that they cried.
Huo Xiaoran said helplessly, “An’an, do you have to do this?”
Qiao An looked at Lu Mo, who was following closely behind. “Your wife is here.”
When Huo Xiaoran turned around, Qiao An closed the door with a bang.
Lu Mo walked up to Huo Xiaoran and said gently, “Senior wants to take a walk. I’ll accompany you.”
Huo Xiaoran glanced at the closed door and nodded with a dark expression.
When he and Lu Mo arrived at the courtyard, Lu Mo seized the rare opportunity to diss Qiao An.
“Senior, why is Qiao An’s health still so bad? She can even catch a cold in this season. Sigh, it seems that after she jumped off the building back then, it left a trauma on her body.”
Her words made Huo Xiaoran very disgusted.
Even though Huo Xiaoran couldn’t understand the intent of her words, what she said reminded him of the car accident designed by Li Changhai. Thinking of Qiao An’s pregnancy and how she was cured undergoing immense pain, his heart felt like it was being pierced by countless needles.
He looked at Lu Mo coldly and said stiffly, “It wasn’t the fall. It was a car accident. The car accident gave her many after-effects.”
Lu Mo’s entire body trembled imperceptibly.
She kept feeling that Huo Xiaoran was looking at her with fierce condemnation, as if he knew that she was the culprit of the car accident.
“Uncle Li also received his retribution. He was beaten up badly by a death row prisoner in prison. The doctor said that he might not live long.” Lu Mo thought that by changing her target, she could divert Huo Xiaoran’s hatred.
Huo Xiaoran said, “A person like him won’t be able to appease my hatred even if he dies a thousand times.”
Lu Mo swallowed.
Her mother was still hoping that Huo Xiaoran would save Li Changhai from his misery. Now, it seemed that it was impossible for Huo Xiaoran to help her.
“Senior, I apologize to Qiao An on behalf of Uncle Li.”
“There’s no need.” Huo Xiaoran looked at her with a sneer and said between his teeth. “It’s karma. How can an apology erase his sins?”
Lu Mo fell silent.
Huo Xiaoran saw the panic in her eyes. He was like the best hunter playing with his prey.
“But it’s a good thing Qiao An’s health isn’t too bad. It’s not one of those annoying cancers, after all.” He deliberately emphasized the word cancer.
When Lu Mo heard the word cancer, for the first time, she felt that Huo Xiaoran despised cancer patients, making her heart turn cold.
She also had “cancer”, so Huo Xiaoran should also despise her, right?
As they walked around, Huo Xiaoran used her words to defeat Lu Mo’s arrogance.
Huo Xiaoran raised his eyebrows and asked her mischievously, “Do you still want to continue?”
Lu Mo originally thought that taking a walk with the man she loved would definitely be very blissful, but who knew that it was simply torturous? She suspected that Huo Xiaoran had deliberately attacked her verbally, but she also felt that a pure and innocent person like him wouldn’t treat her like this.
“He didn’t mean it,” she said to herself, nodding bravely. After all, the opportunity was rare.
Huo Xiaoran curled his lips. Her skin was also very thick.
If it had been Qiao An, the girl would have fallen out with him.
In her eyes, nothing was more important than her dignity.
“Senior, should we invite Qiao An to our wedding?” Lu Mo was still immersed in the joy of marriage.
