Unable to sleep, Qiao An decided to get up.
She was on her way to the living room when she heard a shuffling sound outside. Then the door swung open and Xiao Ming ducked in, looking panicked and nervous.
Qiao An’s stomach tightened.
“Sister Qiao, take the children and leave.” Xiao Ming hurried into the child’s room and picked up Joey and Angel Qiao.
Qiao An was quick to react. She rushed into her rental and rushed out with her suitcase.
Xiao Ming pressed the sleepy child into her hand. “Sister Qiao, from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Remember, we’ve never met.”
Qiao An nodded. “I know.”
Then she grabbed the children’s hands, took a deep breath to compose herself, and left calmly.
When they reached the bus stop, Qiao An pulled the children onto it, not caring where the first bus that arrived was going.
At that moment, the sky was already bright.
The screen on the bus suddenly turned on.Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s wedding was being screened worldwide.
Many reporters entered the wedding venue in an orderly manner. They rushed to report on this unprecedented wedding.
Qiao An saw Lu Mo, the bride, standing in the crowd in a luxurious wedding dress and expensive rare jewelry.
Huo Xiaoran was wearing a well-cut black suit. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t rested well last night, but the bruises under his eyes were charming and he looked inexplicably haggard. However, it still couldn’t hide his peerless beauty.
Huo Zhou stood beside Huo Xiaoran in a suit. He was his best man today.
There were more and more people on the bus. Their attention was attracted by the video, and they were all envious of Lu Mo’s beautiful life.
“This bride is the daughter of the director of the Jinghang Hospital. She’s a schoolmate of the groom. The bride started chasing the groom during university. It’s said that women chase men through a veil, and she finally got what she wanted. Now, she’s a bride worth ten billion that everyone envies. This wedding is said to be worth tens of billions. It can be seen how much the groom dotes on her. Isn’t her life the role of the female lead?”
“The groom was originally a very well-known neurologist. Not only was he handsome, but he had a very gentle personality. He cured all my relatives and spoke very highly of him. He really deserved the love of such a good girl.”
… .
Qiao An’s heart ached as she listened to the praise and admiration the people around her had for the male and female leads in this wedding.
She had clearly loved him for 12 years. For him, she had bled and fought for her life. Now that he was successful, the beautiful woman beside him was not her.
Her eyes were bitter. Afraid that others would see her teary eyes, she simply looked out the window.
… .
As the guests entered, the originally vast wedding venue became crowded. Seeing that more and more guests were coming to the banquet, the elders of the Huo family and the Lu family looked around for the bride and groom to welcome them.
Lu Mo and the bridesmaids were easily found. She was spotted by Mrs. Lu and brought to the entrance of the hotel. However, Huo Xiaoran seemed to have disappeared. All the elders could not find him.
“Where did this guy go?” Father Lu looked at his daughter, who was alone, and anger rose in his eyes.
Mother Lu recalled Li Changhai’s words before he died last night. He had asked Lu Mo not to marry Huo Xiaoran. She panicked.
“Hubby, will Xiaoran run away from the marriage?” At this moment, the only way she could think of for Huo Xiaoran to take revenge on her was to embarrass the Lu family.
She probably felt that Huo Xiaoran was very kind. Such a kind person would not do anything vicious.
However, how could Lu Mo, the delicate princess, accept the fact that the groom had run away from the marriage? She immediately pulled a long face and cried, “Mom, don’t talk nonsense. How could Brother Xiaoran run away from the marriage?”
When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter all dressed up for the wedding, she could not bear to pour cold water on her. She forced a smile. “I’ll go find him.”
At this moment, Huo Xiaoran was huddled in a room, anxiously calling and texting Qiao An.
But all his messages went unanswered.
He was so angry that he threw the phone on the table. He closed his eyes in despair and sighed.
Huo Zhou comforted him. “Xiaoran, this wedding is a global live broadcast. We’ve bribed all the influential broadcasting platforms in the country. I think as long as Qiao An doesn’t escape to space, she will definitely be able to see this live broadcast. At that time, she will know your good intentions.”
Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and picked up his phone again. He sent Qiao An a message: “An’an, remember to watch the live broadcast.”
He added, “If it’s going to be uncomfortable, just watch out for the Easter egg at the end.”
Huo Zhou pulled Huo Xiaoran out forcefully. “Xiaoran, don’t expose yourself. No matter how much you don’t like Lu Mo, you have to pretend to love her. Otherwise, they will suspect that you were behind the Easter egg at the end.”
Huo Xiaoran patted his stiff handsome face and barely relaxed.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Lu Mo saw Huo Xiaoran. Although he was not much different from usual, his slightly styled hair made his already handsome appearance even more outstanding.
He stood among a group of elegant young masters, clearly standing out. Lu Mo couldn’t hide her good mood. She smiled happily.
“Senior.” She walked to him and smiled as she took his hand.
The person beside Lu Mo teased them, “Lu Mo, it’s time to call him Hubby.”
Lu Mo called out shyly, “Hubby.”
Huo Xiaoran felt nauseous and gagged. He suppressed this uncomfortable feeling with great difficulty.
“Yes.” It was extremely unnatural.
However, because he answered her, Lu Mo was overjoyed.
“Honey.” This time, she buried her head in his arms.
Huo Xiaoran felt goosebumps all over his body. He was disgusted. He gave Huo Zhou a tortured look. “Can we hurry up?”
Huo Zhou shrugged and looked back at him. “You have to wait for the auspicious time to get married. How can you start so casually?”
Huo Xiaoran could no longer stand Lu Mo’s touch. He pushed Lu Mo away and casually found an excuse. “Mo Mo, welcome the guests here first. I’ll go greet a few business partners.”
Lu Mo smiled and said, “Hubby, come back quickly.”
Huo Xiaoran fled.
When Huo Zhou saw that he looked like he had been killed by a vengeful spirit, he couldn’t help but tease him. “If you had known this day would come, why did you do it?”
Huo Xiaoran glared at him. “It’s not like I’m really marrying her. Why are you talking about the auspicious time? Hurry backstage and turn on the big screen. Most of the guests are already here. Play what that vicious mother and daughter have done. Also, you can call the police.”
