Only then did Li Zecheng come to a realization.

With Qiao An’s petty personality, she should hate him and Wei Xin to the core. How could she matchmake him and Wei Xin?

Old Master Li saw through him. “She can’t wait for you to marry a fool in love. Then, she’ll drag your career down.”

Li Zecheng was dumbfounded. So Qiao An was so scheming.

Wei Xin was ashamed by the old man’s derisive words. She buried her head and wanted to crawl into a hole. She originally wanted to use Qiao An’s scheme to force a marriage, but she didn’t expect the old man to expose her scheme.

She did not know what to do next.

At this moment, Third Madam stood up to help her out. “Dad, although Wei Xin is stupid, she loves my Zecheng. After my Zecheng got divorced and lost everything, Wei Xin didn’t despise him. She’s even giving birth to Zecheng’s child. Dad, just agree to their marriage.”

The old man nodded helplessly. “Forget it, forget it. You’re the ones who would live with her anyway. Since you don’t care about her stupidity, I won’t stop you.”

However, he raised her conditions. “You can get married, but Wei Xin’s reputation is too bad, so we won’t hold a wedding to embarrass ourselves.”

Wei Xin gritted her teeth and swallowed the bitter pill. Just like that, Wei Xin used her concession to finally get the chance to marry into the Li family.

When Li Xiaoran returned home, he searched Qiao An’s social media page as usual and tried to understand Qiao An’s latest movements.

She realized that Qiao An had emptied all her social media platforms and changed to a brand new profile picture. In the profile picture, she was taking a photo with a fresh and clean-looking boy. They looked very close. The boy looked at Qiao An with a doting gaze.

Li Xiaoran felt his heart ache. He was crazily jealous of the boy in the photo.

And there were only two words in Qiao An’s post: Goodbye Past.

Li Xiaoran’s heart sank inexplicably.

Was Qiao An trying to forget him too?

… .

He laughed at himself. Shouldn’t she forget him?

Hadn’t he hurt her so badly?

Li Xiaoran lit a cigarette and tried to numb himself with nicotine.

When his fiancée-to-be, Lu Mo, unexpectedly came to his new home, she was completely shocked by the grandeur of Heavenly Imperial Garden.

The buildings here were a combination of ancient and modern. The expensive white jade collided with the luxurious marble, the soft and elegant green bamboo, and the winding courtyard walls. The lines of the buildings were the embodiment of the designer’s extreme sense of aesthetic. This was indeed the most luxurious development in the capital.

Her talented and handsome senior had so much money. It made her even more confident that she would completely dominate this man.

Lu Mo pressed the doorbell. She waited for a long time before Li Xiaoran opened the door.

Lu Mo ran in excitedly, but when she saw the interior decoration, the relief portrait on the wall was actually Qiao An’s portrait. The decorations on the luxurious antique shelf were all pasted with Qiao An’s name.

At that moment, Lu Mo felt like he had fallen into the depths of jealousy.

Her jealousy of Qiao An grew into a deep hostility.

She walked in slowly. Li Xiaoran sat on the sofa dejectedly, looking up and smoking elegantly. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.

“Senior.”

Li Xiaoran turned around slowly and was stunned to see Lu Mo.

“Momo, why are you here?”

“You shouldn’t have come here,” Li Xiaoran sighed.

Lu Mo sniffled and said sadly, “Of course you don’t like me coming here, because this place is filled with your memories with Qiao An, right?”

Li Xiaoran said sadly, “Momo, before I liked you, my heart had always belonged to Qiao An. If you insist on arguing with my past, I can only advise you to give up on me.”

How could Lu Mo bear to give up on an outstanding man like Li Xiaoran?

She immediately lowered her stance and softened. “Senior, I know it’s difficult for you to forget Qiao An. Let’s take it slow, okay?”

Li Xiaoran nodded. “Okay.”

At night, after Li Xiaoran fell asleep, Lu Mo angrily swept Qiao An’s gifts into a large wooden box. She wanted to sweep Qiao An out of Li Xiaoran’s world completely. She wanted to completely empty Qiao An.

She felt that as Li Xiaoran’s official girlfriend, she was qualified to defend her love.

She wanted to extinguish all the flames of love between Li Xiaoran and Qiao An. She could not let them have any chance to start a fire.

The next day, before Li Xiaoran woke up, Lu Mo took the initiative to send the wooden box out.

Soon, Qiao An received a package from the same city.

It was a large package.

Qiao An stared at the package in a daze. She racked her brains but couldn’t figure out who had sent her this package. Because she hadn’t been shopping online recently.

Loco suggested, “An’an, open it and take a look. Maybe it’s a surprise?”

She was more or less happy to receive the package.

Qiao An picked up the scissors and carefully slit the tape. Then she opened the package.

When she saw the small gifts inside, the scissors in Qiao An’s hand fell to the ground and pierced into her feet. The pierced wound instantly gurgled with blood, but Qiao An was actually unaware.

Loco seemed to sense that something was wrong with these gifts. She asked Qiao An carefully, “Do you recognize them?”

Qiao An’s voice seemed to come from the depths of the dust. “They are all my gifts to Li Xiaoran.”

“What does he mean?” Loco exclaimed.

Qiao An’s eyes turned red. “He probably wants to cut ties with me, right?”

Loco imagined Li Xiaoran’s intentions. “He’s too much. After you divorced Li Zecheng, he rushed to cut ties with you. His intentions are too obvious. Isn’t it because he doesn’t want to be related to you? He’s afraid of being implicated by you.”

At this moment, Qiao An realized that an unfamiliar greeting card was floating above the gift box. She picked it up and opened it with trembling hands. She saw a letter printed in the standard Song script. “Qiao An, I’m so sorry. I’m getting married. I think I should say goodbye to our past. I hope we can become familiar strangers again.”

Qiao An tore the greeting card into pieces like a lunatic.

Then, she felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, she did not look for Li Xiaoran to verify if he loved her. Otherwise, she would not be able to raise her head in front of him.

Qiao An’s pride wouldn’t allow her to show weakness in front of others.

She was clearly extremely sad, but in front of Loco, she pretended to be strong.
