Qiao An sent Xiao Ming a message asking for help. “Brother Xiao, save me.”

Xiao Ming’s message came back almost instantly. “Holy shit, who the hell dares to bully you?” Through the screen, Qiao An could almost see Xiao Ming’s angry face.

Qiao An said, “Xiaoran imprisoned me in Heavenly Imperial Garden.”

Xiao Ming issued a series of ellipses.

Then she sighed. “Is he frantically testing the might of the law? Has he troubled you?”

Qiao An thought for a moment. Huo Xiaoran had been gentle and considerate to her for the past two days, so she couldn’t help but speak up for Huo Xiaoran. “He didn’t make things difficult for me, nor did he plan to imprison me for a long time. He just wanted me to stay here until his wedding day.”

Xiao Ming was so angry that he almost cursed. “This bastard. He married Lu Mo, but he’s keeping you. Doesn’t he know that this is very cruel to you?”

Qiao An was silent.

Not wanting to rub salt in Qiao An’s scars any further, Xiao Ming changed the subject. “What’s the situation now?”

Qiao An said, “There are a few bodyguards guarding the entrance and exit.”

Xiao Ming said, “I understand. Sister Qiao, pack up in advance. I’ll save you tomorrow at one noon.”

“Yeah.”

The next day.

Instead of putting on the clothes from the closet, Qiao An put on the clothes she’d worn the day she’d arrived. She figured since she was leaving here, she’d never want anything that didn’t belong to her.

When Huo Xiaoran saw her clothes, he instantly realized something. “You want to leave?”

Qiao An looked at him, anger coloring her eyes.

“Huo Xiaoran, your fiancée is living under the same roof as your ex-lover. You’re enjoying yourself, but I’m unwilling.”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh.

Huo Xiaoran walked up to Qiao An and hugged her thin shoulders. He coaxed gently, “An’an, I know you don’t want to stay here, but believe me, I’ll return your freedom after tomorrow. I’ll do whatever you want, okay?”

His almost pleading tone softened Qiao An’s heart for a moment. But soon, she came back to her senses. She said angrily, “No, I have to leave here today. Huo Xiaoran, you’re breaking the law by doing this. Do you know that?”

Instead of being angry, Huo Xiaoran smiled. He was good-looking to begin with, and his smile was like thousands of peach blossoms blooming, extremely charming.

He moved his hands from her shoulders to her waist and wrapped her tightly into his arms. His chin was gently placed on her head. He wheedled with her like a child. “An’an, just two days. The last two days. Stay with me. Okay?”

Qiao An actually craved such gentleness. But reason pulled her back to the present. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn’t. In the end, she simply stomped on his foot.

Huo Xiaoran gritted his teeth in pain. “Aiyo, An’an, why are you so rough?”

Qiao An pushed past him and ran.

When she opened the door, she saw the two cute children sitting on the ground, holding their chubby little hands to their mouths and laughing.

Clearly, they had seen her and Huo Xiaoran.

Qiao An scrambled to her feet, jumping for joy. “Mommy, I want Uncle Huo to be my daddy, okay?”

Joey nodded enthusiastically back. “Uncle Huo’s the nicest to us.”

Qiao An actually didn’t know how to refuse.

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran walked over and agreed excitedly. “No problem.”

Qiao An rolled her eyes at him and pulled the children downstairs.

Lu Mo had long woken up. At this moment, she was dressed neatly and sitting on the sofa with exquisite makeup. When she saw Huo Xiaoran, she secretly adjusted her collar and pulled it down.

“Senior, you’re up?” Lu Mo’s voice was so gentle that water could be squeezed out.

Qiao An broke out in goosebumps.

She secretly cursed in her heart. Did Huo Xiaoran choose Lu Mo and give up on her because she was not as gentle as Lu Mo?

She glanced at Lu Mo’s exquisite makeup and gorgeous dress, then at her pure cotton T-shirt and very casual shorts. Her long hair was so casual that it was a little messy. She seemed to have understood the difference between her and Lu Mo again.

Was she a bit scruffy?

God knew how much Huo Xiaoran loved her natural beauty.

Qiao An pulled a face and sat at the kitchen table.

Angel Qiao and Joey’s curious gazes lingered on Qiao An and Lu Mo. A child’s strong perception made them realize that Lu Mo was their mother’s natural enemy.

Angel Qiao suddenly said softly to her mommy, “Mommy, why don’t you wear the dress from yesterday? That dress is so beautiful. If you wear a beautiful dress, Uncle Huo will like you even more.”

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

So Angel Qiao despised her clothes?

This hit Qiao An hard.

Another layer of inferiority was added to her self-deprecation.

Lu Mo looked at Qiao An’s cheap clothes with disdain.

Huo Xiaoran rubbed Angel’s head and said, “Angel, Mommy can be more casual in her own home.”

Lu Mo’s face instantly turned pale.

Was Huo Xiaoran implying that she was an outsider?

Breakfast was very sumptuous, and it was all Qiao An and the children’s favorite food. It was the menu Huo Xiaoran had ordered.

Lu Mo liked Western food. When she saw the spread, she instantly lost her appetite. “Mother Huang, I want to eat Western food,” she said to Mother Huang.

Mother Huang looked troubled. She glanced at Huo Xiaoran and said, “Miss Lu, the president said that Miss Qiao likes to eat five grains, so the three meals at home are mainly five grains. I’m sorry, I didn’t prepare the ingredients for Western food today.”

Lu Mo’s expression was very ugly. She looked at Huo Xiaoran aggrievedly. “Senior is really considerate towards Qiao An.”

Qiao An’s heart tightened as she felt a family war about to begin. She quickly urged Joey and Angel to eat so they could avoid this unexpected disaster.

Huo Xiaoran ate the steamed bun elegantly and glanced at Lu Mo indifferently. “You don’t usually live here, so I didn’t ask Mother Huang to prepare Western food ingredients. No one here likes Western food.”

He didn’t want to lose his temper in front of Qiao An and the child, afraid of scaring them. Therefore, he suppressed his anger and spoke to Lu Mo.

Qiao An and the children hurriedly finished a bowl of clear porridge, then each took two small cakes and left the table.

Qiao An urged, “Baby, go outside and play.”

Joey and Angel Joe obediently ran into the courtyard.

After the children left, Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, the sense of urgency in her heart disappeared. Now, she looked at Huo Xiaoran gloatingly and hoped that the two of them would fight.

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Qiao An’s bright eyes and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Lu Mo was sulking at the side. She lowered her head and tears welled up in her eyes. Finally, the grievance she had endured erupted.
