Huo Xiaoran’s sharp and piercing gaze turned to Qiao An, making her shiver.

Qiao An tried to break free from Xiao Ming’s arms. He smiled at her and murmured in her ear, “Is he the one you can’t forget?”

Qiao An was silent.

Xiao Ming continued, “He already has a fiancée. As you said, this man is hypocritical and cunning. He’s two-faced. He doesn’t reject your feelings, but he’s in love with other women. He’s a complete scumbag. Sister Qiao, do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?”

Qiao An said, “Stay out of my business.”

Xiao Ming said, “You’re just stubborn.”

Then, Xiao Ming held Qiao An’s hand, interlaced his fingers, and raised his hand to show off to Huo Xiaoran. “Sister Qiao and I want to have a good time at your wedding. Can we?”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes instantly turned cold like snow.

“You want have a good time? Then you’ve come to the wrong place,” Huo Xiaoran said faintly. His wedding was a grave for the Lu family. There was only hostility and no joy.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Mo was stunned. How could it not be a joyous occasion when their wedding date was approaching? But she didn’t dare express what she was thinking.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An steadily. “Qiao An, what’s his relationship with you?”

Qiao An was in a dilemma.

One was a man she loved and couldn’t have. The other was a hero she respected. She didn’t want to offend either side.

In the end, she said slowly, “Brother Xiao saved my life.” Not only did he save her, but he also saved the child in her stomach.

Huo Xiaoran said with a dark expression, “You’re a guest. Come in.”

Xiao Yue looked at the bickering Huo Xiaoran and then at Xiao Ming, who was smiling annoyingly. She only knew that Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran were a couple who couldn’t be together, so in her heart, she supported Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran. Therefore, Xiao Yue walked up to Qiao An and Xiao Ming and forcefully pried their interlocked hands apart.

“Brother, stop fooling around,” Xiao Yue said.

Xiao Ming reprimanded Xiao Yue. “You traitor.”

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at him. “How can you face Sister Qianqian by doing this?”

Xiao Ming’s face darkened. “I divorced your sister-in-law. Soon, your sister-in-law will be Qiao An.”

Xiao Yue was stunned. Then, her face was filled with indignation. “Sister-in-law loves you so much. How could you lose her?”

Xiao Ming’s eyes were filled with sadness. But soon, a lackadaisical smile appeared on his handsome face. He said with an open mind, “There are thousands of women in the world. Without Qianqian, isn’t there still Qiao An?”

Everyone present was disgusted by how heartless he seemed to be. Huo Xiaoran looked at Xiao Ming with obvious disdain.

Qiao An, however, looked at Xiao Ming with pity. A man like him had endured too many misunderstandings and grievances. But he never defended himself. How dark was that life?

Xiao Yue was so angry that she cursed Xiao Ming. “Xiao Ming, you abandoned dross and lost your morals. You’re not a man.”

“Xiao Yue, stop it.” Qiao An couldn’t bear to see Xiao Ming being treated so unfairly. She stopped Xiao Yue.

However, her protection of Xiao Ming was against the rules in the eyes of others.

Lu Mo took the opportunity to make things difficult for her. “Qiao An, don’t tell me you and Xiao Ming are really a couple.”

Qiao An’s ears turned red with anger, but she was not in a hurry to deny Lu Mo’s speculation. Instead, she glanced carefully at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming said, “Yes, Qiao An is with me.”

A smug smile appeared in Lu Mo’s eyes. Since Qiao An was taken, no one would snatch Huo Xiaoran from her.

She looked up at Huo Xiaoran and realized that Huo Xiaoran was staring at Xiao Ming fiercely.

When Madam Huo saw that the younger generation had quarreled, and that Xiao Ming, who was once the most outstanding and proudest grandson in her heart, had become a playboy who had abandoned his wife after three years, she was very sad. She blamed Qiao An for Xiao Ming’s change.

“Qiao An, you’re really capable. You seduced two of grandsons at the same time. Get lost. Our Huo family doesn’t welcome you.”

Qiao An paled slightly. Without a word, she turned and walked silently out.

Xiao Ming quickly chased after her. “Sister Qiao.”

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble.” Xiao Ming, who had left the crowd, no longer had to act. He put on a sincere face and instantly switched to a wise and deep man.

Qiao An smiled. “Brother Xiao, compared to what you did, this grievance is nothing.”

Xiao Ming smiled. “You’re such a brave girl.”

Qiao An said, “If I told you that I’ve actually been living in constant fear for the past three years, would you still think I’m brave?”

Xiao Ming’s smile disappeared. “Qiao An, I’ve implicated you.”

“Brother Xiao, don’t say that. Without you, my children and I wouldn’t have lived to this day.”

Xiao Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Qiao An, is she okay?”

Qiao An said, “Of the three children, she’s the most dignified. She’s calm and doesn’t cry when something happens. She’s not like Angel who’s like a delicate princess.”

Joy filled Xiao Ming’s eyes. He said firmly, “Qiao An, I really don’t know how to thank you. From now on, you’re like my biological sister. If you have any difficulties, our Xiao family will do our best to help you.”

Qiao An said shyly, “Brother Xiao, I should be the one thanking you.”

While the two of them were catching up, Huo Zhou came out.

Xiao Ming and Qiao An instantly fell silent.

Huo Zhou looked at Qiao An with a dark expression. “This kind of two-timing behavior is really disgusting.”

Xiao Ming shielded Qiao An behind him. “Zhou Zhou, if you have the ability, come at me. Are you proud of bullying weak girls?”

“Weak? Cousin, don’t be fooled by her looks. This woman is not simple.”

Xiao Ming was furious. “Zhou Zhou, I was the one who cheated. Not Qiao An.”

Huo Zhou glared at Xiao Ming and said, “Then do you know that she’s the woman Xiaoran has loved for his entire life? If you snatch Xiaoran’s lover, what will happen to your brotherly relationship with Xiaoran?”

“Hmph, if Huo Xiaoran really loves Qiao An, why did he marry another woman?” Xiao Ming knew how much Qiao An loved Huo Xiaoran because he had stayed by Qiao An’s side while she was pregnant. Every night, he could hear Qiao An crying and shouting for Brother Xiaoran not to leave her.

She was clearly seriously injured, but she gritted her teeth and endured it to protect that scumbag’s children.

When he returned home this time, he happened to bump into Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s marriage. He was certain that Huo Xiaoran had let down the affectionate Qiao An. Xiao Ming did not have a good impression of Huo Xiaoran at all.

Huo Zhou did not know how to answer Xiao Ming’s question because he did not understand why Xiaoran suddenly decided to marry Lu Mo when he clearly loved Qiao An so much.
