When he mentioned the triplets, Huo Zhou came to a realization.

“That’s right. Who gives birth to three children at once? If this Joey is Xiao Ming’s daughter, then who is this Angel Qiao and Ki Ki’s father?” Huo Zhou said belatedly.

“Angel Qiao is my daughter. As for Ki Ki’s father, there must be someone else,” Huo Xiaoran said.

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

“Xiaoran, I know you like Angel but evidence is important in such matters?”

Huo Xiaoran told Huo Zhou everything about how he had interrogated Li Changhai. “Li Changhai said that Lu Mo knew that Qiao An was pregnant with my child, so she was afraid that we would get back together because of the child. That’s why she wanted to plot that car accident.”

Huo Zhou was very surprised.

“Oh my God, Qiao An was secretly pregnant with your child.” For the first time, Huo Zhou was touched by Qiao An’s unwavering spirit.

“She’s a weak woman who took on all the hardships alone to protect you and the child. Xiaoran, she’s really great.”

Returning to reality, Huo Zhou was puzzled. “Since Angel Qiao is your daughter, why didn’t Qiao An tell you?”

Huo Xiaoran reminded Huo Zhou solemnly, “Qiao An’s three children must have their origins. Since Qiao An wants to make them triplets, she must have wanted to protect the children’s privacy. Moreover, Eldest Cousin clearly has no intention of acknowledging the child. Therefore, we can’t leak any news about this.”

Huo Zhou promised solemnly, “I understand.”

Huo Zhou was puzzled again. “Since Qiao An loves you so much, how can she watch you marry Lu Mo without taking any steps to salvage the situation?”

Huo Xiaoran said sadly, “She must think that I married Lu Mo because I have feelings for her. That silly girl is full of pride and will never beg me to turn back.”

Huo Zhou said, “Then will you still marry Lu Mo?”

Huo Xiaoran was determined. “Zhou Zhou, do you know that when I found out that Lu Mo had caused Qiao An so much pain, my heart ached? I really want to tear Lu Mo apart. I hate her. I hate her for separating me and Qiao An. I hate her for hurting my child. How can I be willing to let a woman like her go scot free?”

Huo Zhou trembled.

He understood that the law’s sanctions against Lu Mo could no longer satisfy Xiaoran’s appetite. He wanted to punish Lu Mo in his own way, to make an example of her.

However, Huo Zhou did not pity Lu Mo at all. “Lu Mo harmed you because of her greed. I have no objections to what you do to her. However, Xiaoran, I think you should go and find Qiao An now. What if Qiao An misunderstands your feelings for Lu Mo and becomes disheartened? If she does something that you can never recover from, you will regret it.”

Panic flashed across Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.

He stood up uneasily, but he was lost. “She won’t answer my calls. She won’t answer my texts. Where am I going to find her?”

Huo Zhou said, “Maybe Xiao Yue can contact her.”

Xiao Yue was woken up by the two Demon Kings in the middle of the night. She had nowhere to vent her anger and glared at Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran angrily.

“Are you all reincarnated as nocturnal animals?”

Huo Zhou ordered domineeringly, “Call Qiao An immediately.”

Xiao Yue turned around and walked into the room. She said angrily, “I won’t. Cousin doesn’t cherish Sister Qiao An, yet you are pestering her again when she. This kind of two-timing behavior is really despicable.”

Due to Xiao Yue’s unreliable mouth, Huo Zhou and the others did not dare to tell the truth. Huo Zhou could only threaten fiercely, “Cut the crap and hurry up. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up.”

Xiao Yue looked at Huo Zhou in shock.

She saw a hint of worry and uneasiness in the two men. Only then did she realize. “What happened to Sister Qiao An?”

“Left home.”

Xiao Yue laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back. “You deserve it.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I want to confirm her safety.”

Xiao Yue thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll contact her.”

She took out her phone and called Qiao An.

It was a long time before Qiao An answered.

“Sister Qiao An, where are you? Do you know that after you left, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran came to me to ask for you? I said that I didn’t know where you had gone, and they wanted to beat me up.” Xiao Yue picked up the phone and started complaining.

Qiao An was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Give him the phone.”

Xiao Yue quickly handed the phone to Huo Xiaoran.

“An’an, where are you?” Huo Xiaoran asked impatiently.

Qiao An’s voice was like a trickle. “Mr. Huo, haven’t I made myself clear?”

“An’an, I want to see you now.”

Qiao An was silent for a moment. “You won’t see me until you’re free again.”

Huo Xiaoran hesitated for a moment and said dejectedly, “No.”

Qiao An hung up.

When Huo Xiaoran heard the busy tone on her phone, he sighed helplessly.

Xiao Yue glared at Huo Xiaoran as if he was a treasure. “Cousin, I didn’t expect you to be a scumbag. Since you love Sister Qiao An, why did you marry Lu Mo?”

“Let me tell you, Lu Mo is the cream of the crop. She’s not as weak and pure as she looks on the inside. She’s best at driving a wedge between others. If you marry her, it’s unfortunate for the family.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Xiao Yue in a daze. He was slightly surprised. Why couldn’t he see Lu Mo’s true colors when it was clear to Xiao Yue and the others?

If he hadn’t been so stupid, he would’ve gotten back together with her three years ago when she’d gotten divorced. Instead, he’d let her leave the country pregnant.

He gave a self-deprecating sneer and turned to leave.

Xiao Yue was furious. “What did she give you that made you so stubborn?”

The next day, Lu Mo arrived at the Heavenly Imperial Garden and said to Huo Xiaoran affectionately, “Senior, the wedding is coming soon. We should hurry up and order the wedding clothes. The wedding dresses from the Four-Leaf Clover are especially popular. Let’s order the wedding dress today, okay?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo’s innocent eyes and the dazzling wig, and his eyes instantly became empty.

Lu Mo had really put in a lot of effort to get this wedding. She could even shave off her hair. No wonder he believed her.

“Senior.”

Huo Xiaoran came back to his senses and pretended to pity her. “Momo, your health isn’t good, so don’t torture yourself. Let the servants do this.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.

Huo Xiaoran’s contempt for gowns made her feel a little defeated.

“Senior, every woman only gets married once in her life. Of course I want to attend our wedding that day in the most beautiful manner. I won’t embarrass you either. So it’s better to try the wedding dress personally.”

Huo Xiaoran was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright.”

Lu Mo was stunned for a moment. She felt that Huo Xiaoran was a little unwilling, and her heart sank for some reason.

They arrived at the Four Leaf Clover wedding dress shipon the business street. As soon as Lu Mo entered the wedding dress shop and saw the dazzling array of wedding dresses, she opened her mouth in excitement.

“Senior, these wedding dresses are so beautiful.”
