Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao An returned to the villa and wheedled with Mother Huang. “Mother Huang, I’m hungry.” She was thinking of having an early lunch so that she could meet Xiao Ming at one o’clock.

Mother Huang smiled and said, “Then when Miss Lu comes, Miss Qiao, you won’t eat properly. Alright, I’ll go cook now.”

“Mother Huang, make it simple.” Qiao An looked like she couldn’t wait to eat, making Mother Huang laugh.

Mother Huang went into the kitchen while Qiao An returned to the bedroom.

Not long after, Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo returned. Huo Xiaoran was a little surprised to see Mother Huang busy in the kitchen.

After all, it was still early.

Then he quickly thought of something. He immediately got up and rushed into the kitchen to ask Mother Huang for help. “Mother Huang, did Qiao An ask you to make lunch early?”

Mother Huang said, “Miss Qiao said she’s hungry. I’ll help her make something delicious.”

Sure enough, it was Qiao An’s idea.

Huo Xiaoran smiled. “Then do it.”

Huo Xiaoran quickly went upstairs and Lu Mo followed behind him.

Qiao An leaned against the door sill and saw Huo Xiaoran coming upstairs. She immediately waved at him. “Brother Xiaoran, come here.”

Lu Mo gritted her teeth in hatred.

Huo Xiaoran came to Qiao An and smiled warmly. “What’s the matter?”

After all, it wasn’t often that Qiao An took the initiative to look for him.

Qiao An glanced at him with a somber expression. “I have a present for you.”

With that, she ducked into the bedroom.

Huo Xiaoran followed behind. After entering, he even closed the door.

Not far away, Lu Mo’s face twisted in anger when she saw this scene.

She was very possessive. Huo Xiaoran was her fiancé, so she felt that Qiao An calling Huo Xiaoran into her room in front of her was simply challenging her bottom line.

Afraid that Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran would do something indecent together, she tiptoed to Qiao An’s bedroom door and pressed her ear against the door to listen to the commotion inside.

Qiao An carried a gift box and walked up to Huo Xiaoran. She looked into his eyes and said with a disappointed expression, “Brother Xiaoran, you’re getting married to Dr. Lu the day after tomorrow. I don’t have any expensive gifts for you. I rushed to make this gift overnight. I hope you’ll like it.”

Huo Xiaoran frowned.

Something about the scene struck him as suspicious.

He took the gift and unwrapped it in front of Qiao An. Instead, he found a square piece of embroidery with a wonderful picture of lilies on a white crepe.

Lily, meaning a hundred years of happiness.

There was also a heart with Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s names.

When Huo Xiaoran saw the name, his expression became abnormally terrifying. His voice was also filled with pressure. “You wish me a hundred years of happiness with her? Is this blessing sincere?”

Qiao An said, “It doesn’t matter if I’m sincere. What matters is that you’ve chosen her. The rest of your life is long. You need to build a happy family with her. That way, you’ll be happy. Ultimately I want you to be happy.”

Tears filled Qiao An’s eyes as she spoke emotionally.

Huo Xiaoran walked up to her and hugged her shoulders as he looked at her in a daze. “An’an, tell me, you don’t actually want me to marry her, right?”

Qiao An smiled bitterly.

There was nothing she could say now.

“Alright, I’ve given you the gift and settled my worries. We’re not fated to meet again.” Qiao An knew that Xiao Ming must have the ability to pick her up.

And this should be the last time she and Huo Xiaoran would meet.

“Why won’t we see each other in the future?” Huo Xiaoran felt inexplicably uneasy. There was a hidden meaning in Qiao An’s words. He knew that she wanted to escape, but he didn’t expect her to want to escape from him forever.

“Brother Xiaoran, don’t you think you’re very cruel to me when you marry Lu Mo? What else can I see you for in the future other than sadness? Instead of this, it’s better to never see you again.” Qiao An’s tears couldn’t help but roll down.

Huo Xiaoran suddenly went crazy. He picked up the embroidery and pulled hard, splitting Lu Mo and Huo Xiaoran’s names in half. His heart was also broken.

Qiao An stared at him in amazement. “What are you doing? It took me two nights to make this. It’s hard work.”

Huo Xiaoran only glared at her fiercely. “There’s no sincerity in such a gift. I, Huo Xiaoran, don’t like it.”

Qiao An thought he was being unreasonable. “Do you… find it cheap?”

Huo Xiaoran was speechless.

Qiao An’s eyes reddened. “You have so much money. You can have any gift you want. Although this embroidery isn’t worth much, it’s my way of showing my love for you. I wholeheartedly wish you happiness. Is the most sincere blessing from a friend so worthless in your eyes?”

Xiao Ran saw Qiao An’s exasperated look, especially when Qiao An said that she only wanted him to be happy. Xiao Ran’s tears instantly welled up.

He stepped forward and suddenly held Qiao An tightly.

“An’an, don’t leave me, let alone not see me,” he whimpered like a child.

Qiao An pounded his chest. “You’re so selfish. You’re running from me as if your life depended on it, but you won’t allow me to run from you. How can you be so cruel to me?”

No matter how hard Qiao An hit him, he would take it and never let go.

‘You can’t escape. No one can take you from me,’ he said again.

“Don’t be arrogant,” Jo Ann choked. “Anyway, I’ve said what I have to say. In the future, even if I’m not around, you have to live well.”

Huo Xiaoran hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body.

“Don’t talk nonsense, An’an. You won’t leave me.”

Qiao An wondered where he got his confidence from.

Outside the room, Lu Mo’s eyes widened in fear when she heard their conversation.

She was confused.

Since Huo Xiaoran had decided to marry her, why did he hold on to Qiao An?

And he’d ruined the gift Qiao An had given them?

Although the embroidery was cheap, it had a good meaning. Why was he so heartless as to destroy it?

Had he never thought of marrying her?

Lu Mo’s heart suddenly sank.

The only consolation was that Qiao An seemed determined to leave him.

Lu Mo felt inexplicably uneasy about the wedding the day after tomorrow.

She staggered away.

At lunch, Qiao An ate especially quickly and kept urging the children to eat faster. Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

“An’an, let the children eat properly,” he instructed Qiao An with a dark expression. “They are so young. They have to chew and swallow slowly. If they eat too quickly, they won’t grow. Do you understand?”

Qiao An almost spat out the rice in her mouth. She looked at Huo Xiaoran faintly. “Huo Xiaoran, what doctor are you? Are you mocking me for being short?”

Huo Xiaoran sized Qiao An up from head to toe and said, “Aren’t you?”
