Chapter 278: Qiao An’s Destruction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Mo didn’t know if she should be happy or worried. It was rare for Huo Xiaoran to show such thoughtful concern for her condition, but she felt a chill all over.
She was afraid that Huo Xiaoran was using this as an excuse to find evidence of her pretending to be sick.
In the end, Lu Mo consoled herself that she must be thinking too much. After all, Qiao An had only been good to Senior for a few years for him to be eager to pay her back. Since she had loved Huo Xiaoran for so many years, it was impossible for Huo Xiaoran to treat her so ruthlessly.
Thinking of this, Lu Mo’s mood brightened.
She even took out her phone and took a photo of Huo Xiaoran driving in the background. She posted it on her social media account and even added a boastful sentence: “Going out on a date with the person I love the most. I’m filled with happiness.”
At this moment, Qiao An looked at the post by Lu Mo and clicked on it.
Seeing the photo sent by Lu Mo, Qiao An recognised Huo Xiaoran at a glance. She felt strangely irritated and uncomfortable.
She threw the phone aside and kept convincing herself. “Qiao An, you should learn to accept any choice Huo Xiaoran makes. You have no right to interfere in his life.”
However, her sadness did not subside.
She could only desperately find something to do to fill the hesitation in her heart. At this moment, she received a call from the teacher at the training school.
The other party reported to her very happily, “Qiao An, Ki Ki has been chosen to participate in the Shijin Children’s Martial Arts Competition. From today onwards, Ki Ki will participate in the training. Please send Ki Ki to the training base as soon as possible.”
Qiao An hesitated for a moment. Participate in the World Championship? Wouldn’t that expose him to many people?
“Qiao An, Ki Ki is a martial arts prodigy. Coupled with the fact that you have a good eye for developing children, Ki Ki’s Shadow Fist and shooting skills are both very outstanding.” The other party could not hide his admiration at the mention of Ki Ki’s results.
Qiao An smiled bitterly.
If she could, she’d prefer that Ki Ki live the life of an ordinary person. It was not that she’d placed high expectations on him just after he was born. She’d hired him a personal martial arts instructor when he could crawl, subconsciously cultivating his martial arts talent.
Ki Ki, on the other hand, was very hardworking. He was extremely cooperative and liked to do these physical training exercises. At two years old, he had shown extreme martial arts talent. At three, the child stood out.
He was an unnatural product of his own talent and his mother’s strict requirements.
The teacher’s lobbying continued. “Qiao An, didn’t you train Ki Ki so hard so that he could shine?”
Qiao An shook her head.
She wasn’t doing it to make the baby sparkle. It was just so that the child would have the ability to protect himself when he faced difficult people in the future.
She had trained him so cruelly so that the child could live well. Only in the face of death could Qiao An bear to let her child suffer.
But no one knew her secret.
“Qiao An, originally Ki Ki’s age would not meet the criteria. We had to think of a lot of ways to get Ki Ki into the competition. Actually, we hid his true age. We had indicated his age to be five. So I want you to cherish this hard-won opportunity.”
The ball of panic in Qiao An’s heart seemed to have been pierced by a needle. After it overflowed like an hourglass, Qiao An calmed down.
Wouldn’t it be better if Ki Ki lied about his age to be five? No one would suspect his identity.
“OK. I’ll send Ki Ki right over.”
Qiao An hung up and immediately found Ki Ki. She crouched in front of the child, holding him with red eyes. She asked him, “The teacher said you were going to participate in training …”
Before her hoarse voice could finish, the child jumped to her feet. “Yay,” he cheered. “Finally, I can practice boxing again.”
Qiao An didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She felt relieved.
At least Ki Ki was happy.
Qiao An sent the child to the training base and secretly gave his teacher a big red packet as usual. The teacher took special care of Ki Ki with the generous salary Qiao An gave her.
Qiao An sent Ki Ki off, then turned back to send Joey and Angel Joe to the private kindergarten at the Heavenly Imperial Garden.
She decided to stay in the Heavenly Imperial Garden for a period of time. During this period of time, she had resolved the grudges between her, Huo Xiaoran, and Lu Mo.
Perhaps it was because Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo had been too close in the past few days, Xiao Yue felt that it was not worth it for Qiao An. One day, she came to Qiao An’s house angrily and said to her, “Sister Qiao An, quickly pack up and go somewhere with me.”
Qiao An didn’t know her intentions and only thought that Xiao Yue wanted her to audition for an acting gig. She changed into a gorgeous dress, put on her jewelry, and curled her hair. She, who was originally pure, was especially charming today.
Xiao Yue’s eyes widened. She snapped her fingers and said, “That’s it. Let’s go.”
Then, she pulled Qiao An to Mr. Huo’s Villa.
Qiao An was dumbfounded. She asked Xiao Yue in a panic, “Why did you bring me here?”
Afraid Qiao An would escape, Xiao Yue grabbed her hand and pulled her in. “Come in with me and you’ll know.”
Qiao An hugged the tree at the door, and Xiao Yue couldn’t move her. Only then did she have no choice but to clarify. “Lu Mo brought her parents to the Huo family to propose marriage. They’re discussing the wedding time. If you don’t come, my cousin will be snatched away.”
Qiao An felt her blood turn cold.
Sure enough, they’d gotten this far.
Qiao An walked back to the house. “Why is it my problem if they want to get married?” She pretended to be open-minded, but she felt sick to her stomach.
“Sister Qiao An, if you don’t take the initiative, you’ll regret it when you lose my cousin. I saw it clearly that my cousin and you are the true couple.”
Xiao Yue stopped her, not wanting her to leave.
At this moment, Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo came out of the villa. Lu Mo held Huo Xiaoran’s hand and looked at the disheveled Qiao An smugly.
“Qiao An, why are you here?” Lu Mo asked in an unfriendly tone.
“Don’t tell me you still have feelings for my senior and are here to break us up today?” Lu Mo grabbed Huo Xiaoran even tighter and looked at Qiao An mockingly. “My senior finally chose me. Qiao An, we’ve already set the wedding date. It’s meaningless for you to continue like this.”
Qiao An, who hated being a mistress, was so embarrassed that her toes curled.
