“Which temple did Qiao An go to?” he began to press Qiao He.
Qiao He said, “How would I know?”
“Then why did she go to the temple?”
“She didn’t say. But according to past practice, she must have gone to the temple to pray for peace. I don’t know what day it is today, but she’s been doing this since Year Two. She’s stuck to this habit for many years.”
“Make a wish for peace?”
Huo Xiaoran recalled the White Horse Temple he went to a month ago.
Without another word, he turned and walked out.
Lu Mo chased after him and asked with tears in her eyes, “Senior, where are you going? You’re going to find Qiao An, right?”
Xiao Ran said apologetically, “Momo, Qiao An has been missing for two hours. I’m inexplicably flustered. I’m worried that something happened to her. After all, Li Changhai didn’t come to our engagement party. I’m afraid he’ll make things difficult for her again. I have to find Qiao An.”
Lu Mo’s eyes were filled with confusion. Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An’s telepathy was so magical that it made her feel terrified.
Her mother had indeed given Li Changhai one last order today: kill Qiao An and quickly leave the capital.
With that, Huo Xiaoran ran away in a hurry.
As soon as the protagonist of the engagement banquet left, it caused a huge commotion.
“Where did Xiaoran go?”
“How can you leave Lu Mo alone at the venue?”
… .
Old Master Huo was very angry at Huo Xiaoran’s actions. He ordered Huo Zhou, “Go and bring Xiaoran back.”
At the same time, he comforted the Lu family. “My Xiaoran has encountered a troublesome matter and will only be away for a while. Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon.”
Huo Zhou brought Qiao He and Xiao Yue, who were worried about Qiao An, to chase after Huo Xiaoran.
Because Qiao He and Qiao An’s phones had always been tracking each other, Qiao He shared the location with Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou.
Soon their car arrived at the White Horse Temple.
The temple was located halfway up the mountain. They could only park in the parking lot outside the temple. The rest of the mountain had to be hiked up.
After Huo Xiaoran got out of the car, he started running crazily.
Huo Zhou and the others followed behind. When Qiao He saw Huo Xiaoran’s anxious expression, he even wanted to tease Xiaoran.
“Cousin clearly still has feelings for my sister. Then why didn’t he woo her back?”
Huo Zhou rolled his eyes at him. “You should ask your sister this question.”
Qiao He said, “What’s wrong with my sister? My sister clearly likes him too. Otherwise, why would she have a bunch of portraits of him at home?”
Huo Zhou glanced at Qiao He suspiciously. He was anxious to catch up with Huo Xiaoran, so he was not in the mood to ask further.
Huo Xiaoran ran through the forest and shouted anxiously,
“Qiao An… Qiao An…”
Walking into this desolate place, Huo Xiaoran felt even more uneasy.
“Xiaoran.” Huo Zhou caught up.
“Come back with me. It’s your engagement party today. It’s really inappropriate for you to leave so irresponsibly.”
Huo Xiaoran looked around in despair while dealing with Huo Zhou tiredly. “Zhou Zhou, Qiao An and I have always had a telepathic understanding. My intuition tells me that Qiao An is in danger.”
Qiao He was unwilling to accept the terrifying truth of Xiaoran’s speculation. He teased, “How can the two of you sense each other? If there’s a reaction, it’s me and my sister. I can sense that my sister is fine.”
Huo Zhou glanced at Qiao He incredulously. He understood that Huo Xiaoran would not go back with him unless he found Qiao An.
“Qiao He, hurry up and see where your sister went.”
Qiao He picked up his phone to check Qiao An’s phone status. “It’s finally moving. But it’s not near us. It’s still some distance away.”
Huo Zhou said, “Where?”
Huo Xiaoran suddenly said, “The previous location shows that Qiao An stayed here for a long time. Let’s search around here first.”
Unable to dissuade Huo Xiaoran, the few of them started walking around.
Soon, Huo Xiaoran discovered soft soil.
“Qiao An,” he cried out in shock. He fell to his knees and began to frantically pick at the dirt.
Qiao He laughed. “Are you crazy? How could my sister be down there?”
“Hurry up and help,” Huo Xiaoran shouted angrily.
So together they began to pick at the soil.
Soon, Huo Xiaoran saw Qiao An’s finger.
This discovery frightened the others. They hurriedly scrabbled up,
Soon Qiao An was picked out by them,
She lay on the ground with her eyes closed. Perhaps it was because she had just been buried and the soil had yet to solidify, Li Changhai heard Huo Xiaoran’s call and could only leave in a hurry. This allowed Qiao An to use the soft soil to preserve her last breath.
Huo Xiaoran felt that her temperature was still warm. He quickly rendered first aid and instructed Huo Zhou, “Call an ambulance. Quickly. Tell the other party that the patient was buried alive for about 20 minutes and is extremely oxygen-deprived.”
Huo Zhou quickly activated his authority and got 120 to rescue him.
When Huo Xiaoran dashed to the parking lot with Qiao An in her arms, the ambulance arrived. Despite better care, she showed no signs of regaining consciousness.
This made Huo Xiaoran’s heart collapse bit by bit. Especially when Qiao An was pushed into the ICU and an electrocardiogram was inserted, the weak wave line made Huo Xiaoran completely lose control.
He suddenly took Qiao An’s hand and cried. “Qiao An, wake up. I won’t let you die. You promised me that you would grow old with me.”
‘You said you’d be my walking stick. My eyes.’
“You can’t break your promise. You gave me so many beautiful vows to keep me motivated to live. But now you’re going to break them. I won’t allow it. Qiao An, I won’t allow you to leave me.”
… .
Outside the ward, the Huo and Lu families came to the hospital after hearing about Qiao An’s tragic encounter.
Hearing Huo Xiaoran’s heart-wrenching roar, the members of the Huo family felt extremely uneasy. Huo Xiaoran’s feelings for Qiao An were something that no long-term couple could do. They were faintly worried that if Qiao An died, Huo Xiaoran would be ruined.
As for the Lu family, they were angry at Huo Xiaoran for neglecting Lu Mo. In their opinion, Huo Xiaoran’s behavior at the engagement banquet today was an irresponsible act towards Lu Mo.
Now that they saw Huo Xiaoran muttering affectionately to Qiao An, they felt that Huo Xiaoran had betrayed Lu Mo.
Lu Mo stood at the door in fear. Her mood today was really from heaven to hell.
She had a feeling that today was the closest she had ever been to Huo Xiaoran.
She was Huo Xiaoran’s nominal fiancée.
But after today, she did not know where their relationship would go.
She began to sob, feeling aggrieved.
Mrs. Lu was petty and petty. She immediately scolded Huo Xiaoran, “Old Master Huo, you have to give my Momo an explanation for what Xiaoran did to Lu Mo today.”
