Chapter 113: The Truth is Revealed

Li Xiaoran was forced to park the car by the roadside.

Huo Zhou said, “Don’t forget that Qiao An is your niece-in-law now. It’s against societal ethics for you to sleep with her. Even if you don’t care about your future, you have to do something for Qiao An. How can a girl like her live with this moral stain?”

Li Xiaoran seemed to have been drenched in ice water and completely woke up.

He said guiltily, “Huo Zhou, if this is true, I can’t let Qiao An face the future alone. I have to block all the rumors for her.”

Huo Zhou was shocked by Li Xiaoran’s courage. He said to Li Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, didn’t Qiao An keep quiet about it because she wanted it to become a secret forever? Why are you still picking on it? You’re only troubling Qiao An.”

Li Xiaoran’s eyes gradually darkened. He nodded. “You’re right. I can’t hurt Qiao An a second time.”

Huo Zhou drove Li Xiaoran home. Because Li Xiaoran was in a low mood, Huo Zhou decided to stay and accompany him.

They sat on the sofa in the living room. Huo Zhou’s gaze landed on Li Xiaoran’s trembling hand and he asked worriedly, “Xiaoran, you can’t go to the operating table for the time being. Do you have any new plans?”

Li Xiaoran looked a little confused.

His aspiration was to be a surgeon. Now that he could not hold a knife, he really did not know what else to do.

Huo Zhou said, “Why don’t you go back to the Huo family? Grandpa wants to leave the Huo family’s pharmaceutical company to you.”

Li Xiaoran said, “The Angel Group needs me more.”

Huo Zhou said, “The Angel Group is already on the way. With Chen Xiao managing it, you don’t have to worry about anything. Xiaoran, with your intelligence, you can still do something else.”

Li Xiaoran said, “Bring me to the Huo Corporation to observe another day before making a decision.”

“No time like the present. Tomorrow, then.”

Huo Zhou knew that he was frustrated, so he didn’t disturb him anymore.

“Xiaoran, see you tomorrow.”

After Huo Zhou left the rental house, Li Xiaoran’s world became quiet. At this moment, Qiao An appeared in his mind. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t forget her.

He didn’t know if he had done anything wrong to Qiao An. If he had, he wouldn’t be able to erase the mistake he had made. He should sincerely apologize to Qiao An and do his best to make it up to her.

Li Xiaoran’s determination to pursue the truth forced him to do something to calm his conscience.

In the afternoon, Lu Mo came to his rented apartment after work.

From the moment she entered the house, Li Xiaoran had been quietly examining Lu Mo. Lu Mo’s face was a round face with a relatively large skeleton. After her eyebrows were embroidered, and her eyes were slender and narrow. Her nose was slightly wide.

Unlike Qiao An, whose face was so small that he could cover it with a slap, her eyes were big and the corners of her eyes were raised, giving people the illusion that she was smiling brightly at any time. Moreover, her eyebrows were naturally good. The shape of her eyebrows was just right, and there was no need to leave any artificial marks. Her nose was even smaller and taller.

Li Xiaoran shut his mouth and tried to recall every remaining image of that night. Every frame was Qiao An’s face.

“Senior, why are you looking at me like that?” Lu Mo stood in front of Li Xiaoran and asked in surprise.

Li Xiaoran’s sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Lu Mo’s heart. With the deterrence of a high-ranking person, he did not allow Lu Mo to retreat at all. He said aggressively, “Mo Mo, was it really you that night?”

A hint of confusion flashed across Lu Mo’s eyes. She smiled awkwardly and pretended to be confused. “Which night?”

“Lu Mo,” Li Xiaoran’s low and sexy voice suddenly rose, and the air seemed to freeze.

Lu Mo was so frightened that her heart shrank. She rarely saw Li Xiaoran lose his temper.

Lu Mo trembled and said, “Senior, I’m sorry. The person that night wasn’t me. I only entered your room the next morning.”

The truth was out.

The heavy stone in Li Xiaoran’s heart was instantly removed.

It turned out that he didn’t hurt Lu Mo, so he didn’t have to be responsible for Lu Mo.

He only needed to be responsible for Qiao An.

His split soul finally became one.

“Momo, since you’re still a clean girl, don’t look for me in the future. Find someone else to marry,” Li Xiaoran said.

Lu Mo’s eyes widened. She grabbed Li Xiaoran’s hand and begged, “Senior, I don’t want to break up with you. I know you like Qiao An, but she doesn’t love you.”

Li Xiaoran decisively pushed Lu Mo’s hand away and said, “Momo, don’t be willful. I agreed to be your boyfriend previously and indeed wanted to be responsible for you. However, the facts have proven that I can’t get close to you and make it up to you emotionally. Now that we know this is a mistake, we should learn to stop losses in time. Don’t waste your time on a man who doesn’t love you, Momo. It’s not worth it.”

Seeing Li Xiaoran so determined, Lu Mo was heartbroken. She cried like a child, acting like an adult asking for candy.

“I don’t want to break up, Senior…”

Li Xiaoran said, “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”

He pulled Lu Mo up and dragged her out.

He sent Lu Mo to her house and left decisively.

At this moment, it was clearly evening and the sky was dark, but Li Xiaoran felt that the sky was bright and his breathing was carefree.

Now, he just needed to make it up to Qiao An with all his heart.

Qiao An’s work gradually got on track. Occasionally, the magazine would let her take the lead.

On this day, the supervisor gave Qiao An a new mission. “Qiao An, this is our next interview character—Huo Guangshan. His entrepreneurial story is the number one legend in the capital. This person is elusive. Go and contact him in advance. If you can persuade him to accept our interview, we won’t have to worry about our sales in the next episode.”

Qiao An thought about how she had ruined the story of this interview with Li Xiaoran, causing her colleagues to work overtime to interview the psychologist, Jason. In order to make up for her mistakes, Qiao An happily accepted this suggestion.

“Yes, Director. I promise to complete the mission,” Qiao An vowed.

The next day, Qiao An put on her professional clothes, a white lace shirt, and a fiery red short skirt. She then walked to the Li Corporation building.

When she told the receptionist why she was here, the receptionist rejected her decisively.

“I’m sorry, Chairman Huo never gives any interviews.”

Qiao An persisted. “Then can you let me see the chairman?”

“I’m sorry. I need to make an appointment to see the chairman in advance.”

“Then I’ll make an appointment now!” Qiao An countered.

However, the waiter was also prepared. “I’m sorry, the chairman doesn’t want to see any reporters.”

The revolving door suddenly opened and Li Xiaoran walked in.
