Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Senior, do you love me?” She stared into Huo Xiaoran’s eyes with an oppressive aura.
Huo Xiaoran slowly picked up the fish soup and took a sip. Then, he elegantly swallowed the food in his mouth.
However, his gaze landed on Qiao An and he asked her to leave. “An’an, leave.”
Qiao An had lingered to watch them argue. She picked up the unfinished porridge and said, “I haven’t finished yet.”
Huo Xiaoran glared at her and said sternly, “Be obedient.”
Qiao An had no choice but to put down the porridge bowl before leaving.
Only Lu Mo and Huo Xiaoran were left in the huge dining room.
Huo Xiaoran finally could bear to look at Lu Mo, but his gaze was extremely sharp. He said coldly, “Lu Mo, you deliberately stayed in the Heavenly Imperial Garden to stir trouble, right?”
“Senior, you’re clearly biased. I’m your fiancée, but you’re always thinking for Qiao An. Do you even care about me?” Lu Mo cried aggrievedly.
Huo Xiaoran said, “You suddenly barged in forcefully. Of course, nothing was prepared or you. You insisted on haggling over every penny and maximizing your nobility.”
Lu Mo did not expect Huo Xiaoran to be irrefutable in a quarrel. His logic was clear and his thoughts were meticulous. Instead, it made her feel a little embarrassed.
Huo Xiaoran said, “I’ll give you two choices. Either you go home immediately or stay here obediently.”
With that, Huo Xiaoran stood up and walked.
Qiao An was picking up her phone and hiding in the corner to meet Xiao Ming. When Huo Xiaoran walked over, she didn’t notice his approach at all.
Until Huo Xiaoran came to her side and looked down at the content on her phone. “I’ll wait for you. See you.”
“Hmph.” He snorted angrily.
Qiao An was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone. She turned around and looked at Huo Xiaoran in shock. Then, she couldn’t hide her disappointment. “You’re done arguing with her so quickly?”
Huo Xiaoran nodded.
Qiao An asked excitedly, “Who won?”
Huo Xiaoran pointed at his nose.
Qiao An was skeptical. “Can a grown man like you beat her at pestering?”
Huo Xiaoran said proudly, “I’m a genius. There’s nothing that can stump me.”
Qiao An sighed. “Isn’t it unlucky to be your wife?”
Huo Xiaoran suddenly approached her. Qiao An retreated in fear and pressed her back against the wall. Huo Xiaoran teased, “I won’t quarrel with my wife in the future. If she wants to quarrel, I’ll give in to her.”
Qiao An’s thoughts were confused by his close proximity. For a moment, she didn’t know how to continue.
Huo Xiaoran’s gaze landed on her phone again. “Who did you get to save you?”
Qiao An nervously covered her phone. “It’s none of your business.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I want to see who dares to snatch people from my territory.”
Qiao An ignored him.
Silence was golden.
Then she looked up and asked him, “It’s getting late. Aren’t you going to work?”
“You want to lure the tiger away?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
Qiao An smiled sheepishly.
Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m not leaving today. I want to see who dares to save you.”
Qiao An stared at him in frustration… and then her blood boiled with anger.
If she had a plan, he had his means to counter it.
“Huo Xiaoran, are you really not going to let me go?” Qiao An asked him with bloodshot eyes.
Huo Xiaoran nodded without hesitation.
How could he let her go? He would never let her go.
“No regrets?”
“No regrets.”
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Qiao An’s beautiful face. Just as Lu Mo approached them, she suddenly took the initiative to hug Huo Xiaoran’s neck and kissed him.
As she secretly observed Lu Mo, Lu Mo was so shocked that she was petrified. Then, her anger began to spread.
It was probably because Qiao An’s attention was on Lu Mo that her kissing skills seemed clumsy.
Huo Xiaoran said in a low voice, “An’an, I’ll teach you how to kiss.” Then, he pressed her head with his big pincer-like hand and pressed her in front of him to deepen the kiss.
Qiao An cooperated with him. However, it was too lingering. For a moment, Qiao An felt as if her body had been electrocuted.
But she was deliberately indulging herself.
“Huo Xiaoran, your wife is behind you,” she reminded him with a wicked smile.
Huo Xiaoran was stunned for a moment and smiled. “If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have taken the initiative to kiss me, right?”
“Do you think your wife will break off the engagement?”
“She won’t.”
Qiao An was speechless.
Lu Mo saw Qiao An’s provocative gaze and couldn’t take it anymore. She roared hysterically, “Qiao An, you vixen.”
She rushed forward and pulled Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran away.
Then she raised her hand to slap Qiao An.
However, Qiao An quickly hid behind Huo Xiaoran.
Huo Xiaoran berated Lu Mo, “Enough. It has nothing to do with Qiao An. I flirted with her.”
Lu Mo didn’t dare to do anything to Huo Xiaoran and only kept making things difficult for Qiao An. “Qiao An, aren’t you afraid of being despised for seducing a married man?”
Qiao An’s face turned red.
She felt that her prank had gone too far.
However, when she thought about how Lu Mo had used those disgraceful methods to snatch Huo Xiaoran away from her, her guilt was relieved.
She was paying her back in her own coin.
Qiao An said, “Lu Mo, you should control your man. If you have the ability, let him expel me from the Heavenly Imperial Garden.”
Huo Xiaoran finally understood Qiao An’s motive for causing trouble. He gave Qiao An a look that said, “Don’t even think about it.”
Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran and cried. “Senior, did you hear that? Qiao An is deliberately provoking you. If you still want her to stay in the Heavenly Imperial Garden, she will only become more and more arrogant.”
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran with a strange expression.
However, when Huo Xiaoran met her gaze, he licked his lips sexily, as if he was recalling the lingering kiss just now.
Qiao An blushed instantly.
Furious, she turned and walked away.
Huo Xiaoran said to Lu Mo meaningfully, “Do you have a deep hatred for Qiao An?”
Lu Mo trembled. “Senior, what do you mean?”
“When you’re here, Qiao An regarded me like an enemy. Every day was cold. When you are, she came on to me. She was clearly trying to provoke you.”
Lu Mo looked flustered. What could she say? That she had snatched Qiao An’s man, set up her car accident, and almost buried her alive?
She felt guilty and forgot that she was originally on the moral high ground. Seeing how stupid she was, Huo Xiaoran smiled evilly.
“Senior, Qiao An clearly wants to snatch you away from me. Can’t you tell?” Lu Mo said in a panic.
Huo Xiaoran smiled evilly and reminded Lu Mo, “If she really had a heart to do so, how could we have gotten to where we are today?”
Lu Mo was dumbfounded.
