Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.
He looked at Qiao An, who had a serious expression and was not joking at all. For some reason, Huo Xiaoran felt extremely cold.
“I love Lu Mo?” Huo Xiaoran said weakly.
Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran in a daze and smiled palely. After a failed marriage, she was in a sorry state and naturally didn’t have the finesse and indulgence of a young lady. She was very rational and calm. She even tried her best to restrain herself from having such a strong desire.
She told Huo Xiaoran frankly, “Brother Xiaoran, perhaps you don’t know that you’re in love with Lu Mo.”
“Why do you have such a strange understanding?” Xiao Ran felt his entire body turn cold.
If Qiao An misunderstood his relationship with Lu Mo, someone like her wouldn’t give him any chance to get back together.
Qiao An recalled what happened at the annual meeting that day and smiled bitterly but elegantly. “Brother Xiaoran, on the night of the annual meeting, our prize was two golden deer. It symbolizes “Togetherness for Life”. I gave them to you as a confession. But when you saw Lu Mo faint, you threw them on the ground. At that moment, I saw your worry for Lu Mo.”
Her voice trailed off until all that was left was the dense pain spreading from her heart.
She sighed, hurt. “You do care about her.”
Huo Xiaoran was stunned.
He actually didn’t know the symbolism of the Golden Deer? He didn’t know that it was Qiao An’s confession to him.
And he actually threw them casually on the floor?
Qiao An must have been devastated because of this.
However, Huo Xiaoran thought very seriously about the scene that day. He chose to save Lu Mo not because he loved her, but because of his special duty to the patient.
“An’an, I know who I love.” Huo Xiaoran tried to explain.
However, Qiao An did not give him a chance. “Brother Xiaoran, at that moment, because you cared about her, you became helpless and dazed. Now, think about it again. Aren’t you curious why she, who was sick and hospitalized, appeared at the annual meeting? How did she have the energy to accompany Li Zecheng almost to the end of the dance?”
Huo Xiaoran’s face turned pale and he immediately felt disgusted.
He was originally very sure that he had always loved Qiao An. However, Qiao An’s detailed analysis made him feel cold.
In the end, he had made Qiao An misunderstand him. Because she believed that he cared about Lu Mo and that he would lose his mind in front of Lu Mo, she hid everything she did to investigate the Lu family.
Was she afraid that he would change sides?
Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened.
Qiao An took it as if he’d fallen into a world of self-reflection. She didn’t disturb him. “Get some sleep,” she said calmly. “I’ll check out with the landlord tomorrow.”
Huo Xiaoran’s eyes stung.
As Qiao An turned to leave, he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
He pressed her down domineeringly, then asked her a few questions. “Why? Don’t you believe I’ll help you? Are you in such a hurry to check out?”
Qiao An was honest enough to nod. “I’m afraid if you show your true feelings to her, you won’t be able to control yourself and you’ll reveal my secrets.”
A trace of anger flashed across Huo Xiaoran’s beautiful eyes. His strong hand suddenly pinched her smooth chin and he asked domineeringly, “Do you know my feelings better than me?”
Qiao An smiled gently. “Brother Xiaoran, I know you’re good to me. After all, I’m your soulmate who’s been through thick and thin with you. But Brother Xiaoran, love and kindness are sometimes mixed up. Have you ever thought that you’ve long treated me as your family and not your lover?”
Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Why do you have so many strange thoughts?”
Qiao An said, “That day at the writers’ conference, I was drugged. When I asked you for help, you didn’t want me. Brother Xiaoran, admit it. Your love for me isn’t love. It’s care you would show to a family member.”
Huo Xiaoran was stunned.
He did remember that incident. That day, she had suddenly come to his room in her sexy pajamas and begged him to have her. But he had heartlessly rejected her and only placed her in the bathtub…
Helplessness flashed in his eyes. God knew how much he’d endured that night. She actually thought he was despising her?
Huo Xiaoran suddenly turned around and pressed Qiao An under him.
Qiao An didn’t feel the danger coming. She looked at him calmly.
Huo Xiaoran looked at her calm face and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Did she really think she was safe from him?
It seemed that if he didn’t do something, she would always misunderstand him?
“Qiao An, do you know why I didn’t want you that day?” A dangerous glint appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.
Qiao An’s eyes darkened and her mouth pouted. “I don’t think so.”
Huo Xiaoran turned her face straight and forced her to look at him.
Qiao An’s face started to heat up. She suddenly realized that Huo Xiaoran had desires for her, and his current posture was extremely ambiguous.
“Is it too sudden?” he asked her hoarsely.
“I’ve waited too long for this day. An’an,” he pleaded like a child.
“An’an, I love you and only you. You were wrong just now. Actually, I’m the one who’s grateful to Lu Mo and to you, it’s love. Because I only want you.”
Qiao An’s face was now as red as a monkey’s butt.
