Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An with a probing gaze.

Afraid that Huo Xiaoran would develop love for this “Chen Sisi”, Lu Mo shouted at Qiao An, “Chen Sisi, go home and sleep. I’ll take care of my senior here.”

Qiao An couldn’t have asked for more.

She had fake makeup on her face. She was also afraid that her makeup would fall off after a long time and Huo Xiaoran would notice something.

She quickly packed her bag and left obediently.

“Yes, yes. I’ll leave immediately.”

Huo Xiaoran watched Qiao An leave. Lu Mo sat by his bed and said coquettishly, “Senior, do you like her?”

Huo Xiaoran laughed self-deprecatingly.

If he really had the ability to love, he felt that his life would not be so depressing.

Lu Mo buried her head in his chest and said fearfully, “Senior, she looks like Qiao An. I’m really afraid that you’ll fall in love with her.”

Huo Xiaoran moved awkwardly towards the bed.

“Momo, she’s not Qiao An.”

Lu Mo was subconsciously hurt by his alienation. A hint of distress appeared in her eyes.

She looked up excitedly. “Senior, if Qiao An comes back, will you still return to her without hesitation like before?”

Huo Xiaoran said dejectedly, “Momo, even if I want to return to her side, she won’t want me. So, don’t make things difficult for yourself in the future.”

Lu Mo felt extremely uneasy.

If Huo Xiaoran knew that Qiao An loved him deeply back then, he wouldn’t have said such words.

“Senior Brother, since you know that Qiao An won’t fall in love with you again in this lifetime, can we get married?”

Huo Xiaoran fell into a terrifying silence.

After a long time, Huo Xiaoran said, “Momo, I know you like me, but marriage requires responsibility and morality. I don’t think I can bear such heavy responsibility and morality for you. So, if you meet a suitable man, don’t wait for me.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.

She had waited for him for three years. In the past three years, she had been flaunting her status as his girlfriend and fiancée. She didn’t expect Huo Xiaoran to use the responsibility to get rid of her.

“Senior,” Lu Mo cried out, “It’s not like you don’t know that I only love you in my life. You clearly promised to marry me. Why did you go back on your word?”

Huo Xiaoran sighed helplessly. “I can marry you, but Momo, after marrying you, other than turning you into a woman with a marriage history, our lives will remain unchanged. Such a marriage is unfair to you.”

Lu Mo held his hand and begged, “Senior, I only want to marry you and be your wife. As long as I can be your wife, I won’t have any regrets in my life. As for whether our married life is harmonious, I think I can slowly work hard to cure your psychological barrier.”

Huo Xiaoran closed his eyes and sighed in pain.

“Momo, why are you doing this?”

Lu Mo was very flustered to be rejected by Huo Xiaoran.

She had deceived him three years ago that she had cancer, and Huo Xiaoran had agreed to be her girlfriend because he pitied her. In the past three years, he had given her a lot of money and gifts during special occasions, although she knew that he had asked his secretary to buy those gifts. However, she was sincerely happy that he could remember those occasions.

She thought that they would be able to achieve success. Unexpectedly, when it came to marriage, she realized that their relationship had stagnated.

Lu Mo felt that she should listen to her mother and use some extreme methods.

She stood up and wiped her tears. “Senior Brother, go to bed early. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

“Yeah.”

Qiao An returned home, removed her makeup, and fell into bed exhausted. However, she couldn’t fall asleep even after tossing and turning.

Thinking of the grievances she had suffered during the day, Qiao An felt extremely resentful towards Huo Xiaoran.

Why didn’t he believe her?

Emotionally and rationally, Qiao An finally regained consciousness.

He wanted her dead. Why would he care about her innocence?

She could vaguely sense that Huo Xiaoran might have already suspected her identity. Otherwise, why would he keep testing her?

It seemed that she had to complete the mission as soon as possible so that she could escape.

The next day.

Qiao An arrived at the office as usual. The moment she stepped into the CEO’s office, she felt the air pressure drop.

Qiao An looked up and saw Lu Mo’s mother sitting arrogantly in Huo Xiaoran’s chair, looking at her disdainfully. “Chen Sisi, I want you to resign immediately and leave the Angel Group.”

With that, she threw Qiao An a thick stack of envelopes. The money inside popped out.

Qiao An smiled faintly. “Reason?”

“My son-in-law drank your coffee yesterday and was hospitalized. Although there’s no evidence that you’re the murderer, I decided to fire all the close employees around him.”

Qiao An looked at Mrs. Lu. She had arrogantly interfered in Huo Xiaoran’s matters. This confidence must have been given by Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Xiaoran seemed to have spoiled this mother and daughter for the past three years.

Qiao An didn’t want to leave the Angel Group. After all, she hadn’t taken her revenge. She hadn’t finished collecting the evidence of Huo Xiaoran’s murder. She hadn’t completed any of the decisions she made to take revenge on him. She must be unwilling.

Qiao An said, “If you want to fire me, please follow the contract terms.”

Mrs. Lu was furious. “Don’t be so shameless. If you follow the contract terms, you won’t be able to get this money.”

Just as Mother Lu was arguing, Huo Xiaoran came.

Lu Mo immediately went up to her like a mollusk and took the initiative to explain her mother’s rude behavior, but she kept flattering her mother. “Senior, Mom heard that you were poisoned by the employees. She was so anxious that she didn’t sleep well last night. When she woke up this morning, she didn’t even eat breakfast and came to help you clean up.”

Huo Xiaoran frowned, very unhappy with Mrs. Lu’s behavior.

However, since Mrs Lu. had done all that in the name of his welfare, it was not convenient for Huo Xiaoran to make things difficult for her.

Mrs. Lu had a different attitude towards Huo Xiaoran.

“Xiaoran, Mom is doing this for your own good. It’s lonely at the top now, and there are many people who want to harm you. You have to be careful. When such a thing happens, I’d rather spend money to avoid disaster. Mom doesn’t want you to be hurt again, so I have to help you dismiss these suspected murderers no matter what.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at the envelope in front of Qiao An. Mrs. Lu had spent her money to help Huo Xiaoran resolve the problem, making Huo Xiaoran even more grateful.

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment. A harmonious family was the life he yearned for the most.

So what if Chen Sisi suffered?

Moreover, he might not have really wronged her.

“Chen Sisi, take the initiative to submit your resignation from the Human Resources Department,” Huo Xiaoran ordered.

Lu Mo and Mrs. Lu heaved a sigh of relief.

Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran in disbelief. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the muddle-headed King You of Zhou. How could he disregard human lives for his girlfriend?
