Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An’s dejected expression, and the smile in his eyes suddenly turned cold.

“An’an, I believe you, but I have to seek justice for you. If Lu Mo is really the mastermind behind these misunderstandings, how can I let her live freely?”

“Why should she be so comfortable when you’re suffering?”

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran’s chest was filled with hatred. It turned out that it wasn’t that Qiao An didn’t love him in the past. She had lived a more painful life than him. Not only did she love him but she also hated him for it.

Huo Xiaoran suddenly clenched his fists tightly. The pain in his nails was like a bayonet that had cut into his heart. He hated himself. Why had he let Qiao An suffer so much despite their love for each other?

He swore that he would make everyone who had sowed discord between them and hindered their happiness pay.

Huo Xiaoran returned to his house and called Lu Mo enthusiastically to urge her to get married. “The sooner the better.”

The longer the wedding dragged on, the longer Qiao An would be sad. He just wanted to cut the Gordian knot and end this twisted, misplaced life as soon as possible.

When Lu Mo heard the joyous news, she was really overwhelmed by happiness. She nodded excitedly. “Senior, I’ll let my mother choose the most recent auspicious day to get married. What do you think?”

Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “As long as it happens quickly.”

Lu Mo was stunned. She had a feeling that Huo Xiaoran didn’t seem to care if the wedding day was a good day at all. He only cared that the sooner they got married, the better.

In the past, he had always dragged his feet and was unwilling to get married. Now that his attitude had changed, he was rushing to get married. This made Lu Mo feel uneasy.

“Senior, aren’t you always avoiding marriage? Why do you suddenly want to get married?”

Huo Xiaoran curled his thin lips. “Isn’t this the outcome you’ve always wanted?”

Since she would do anything to marry him, he would openly invite trouble.

For some reason, Huo Xiaoran’s tone was clearly normal, but Lu Mo found it terrifying.

“Senior, I’m going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow…” She wanted to remind him that she was weak because she knew that Huo Xiaoran was a benevolent doctor. As long as she acted pitiful, his heart would soften.

Perhaps his stiff tone would change.

Huo Xiaoran’s tone did not change and was still gloomy. However, he said enthusiastically, “I’ll accompany you tomorrow.”

Lu Mo was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

She was happy that he seemed to be more attentive to her than before. She was worried that she kept feeling that he had ulterior motives for approaching her.

Lu Mo shook her head. She was probably thinking too much.

It was clearly because Li Changhai had taken all the blame. He should have felt guilty for questioning her earlier, so he suddenly became attentive to her.

Thinking of this, Lu Mo became happy. But what happened next made her mood fail.

The next day.

Huo Xiaoran arrived at Lu Mo’s house early and personally sent Lu Mo to the hospital. Mrs. Lu was very happy. She reminded Huo Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, Momo’s condition is always recurring. You have to care more about her.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Mrs. Lu faintly. “Momo’s condition is only in the early stages of breast cancer. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t happen frequently.”

Mrs. Lu said, “It’s all because you’re busy with work and neglected her. This child is sensitive. She’s always afraid that you won’t want her. Her condition will worsen because of her fear.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled. “I’m only getting married to her in name. Other than the title of Mrs. Huo, I can’t give her anything. What else is she afraid of losing?”

Mother Lu’s expression was cold. She had not spent so much effort to get Lu Mo to marry Huo Xiaoran for a “title”. What she wanted was to share Huo Xiaoran’s name and wealth.

“Xiaoran, Momo loves you so much. If you can’t return her love, she will be very sad. You know that it’s important for her to maintain a happy mood…”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her. Mrs. Lu had held him ransom with Lu Mo’s condition. In the past, he felt that this was a sign of Mrs. Lu loving her daughter. However, after receiving Qiao An’s guidance, he realized that she was only using Lu Mo’s condition to gain his sympathy.

Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face was sinister. He hated being schemed against. “Auntie, my family is very concerned about Lu Mo’s condition. They’ve asked me in private more than once how long Lu Mo can live.”

Mrs. Lu’s face turned pale. “Xiaoran, what do you mean? Does your family despise Lu Mo’s illness?”

“So, Auntie, don’t mention Lu Mo’s illness for no reason in the future. It will make my family misunderstand that she’s already terminal. Although I don’t care who the marriage partner is, my family still expects me to choose a healthy wife.”

Mrs. Lu looked like she had eaten a pile of shit. Her expression was extremely ugly.

She originally thought that she would let Lu Mo pretend to be sick to win the sympathy of a kind person like Huo Xiaoran. She did not expect it to backfire.

Huo Xiaoran smiled.

Mother Lu was like a defeated rooster, hanging there listlessly.

After Lu Mo dressed up, she walked out charmingly. Unfortunately, Huo Xiaoran’s gaze did not linger on her at all. He only reminded her, “I’ll take you out to play today. Take your medicine.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded. This was because she never used medicine for breast cancer patients. The medicine she took was all nutritional supplements. Although it looked like a prescribed medicine, the composition was very different from the medicine prescribed by a doctor.

Huo Xiaoran owned the Angel Medical Group. If he took her medicine to be tested, it would be troublesome.

Under Huo Xiaoran’s gaze, Lu Mo could only fetch the medicine.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly followed.

In the end, the mother and daughter took out the medicine that Mother Lu had taken and handed it to Xiao Ran.

“Xiaoran, this is Momo’s usual medicine.”

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran asked her another question. “Do you know the directions for consumption?”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded again.

She roughly knew the types of Mother Lu’s medicine, but she did not remember the exact dosage.

However, Huo Xiaoran stared into her eyes as if he did not allow her to lie.

Lu Mo panicked. At this moment, Mother Lu stepped forward and skillfully informed her.

Lu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

Huo Xiaoran saw her flustered expression and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Huo Xiaoran nodded with a dark expression. “Okay.” Then he strode away.

After getting into Huo Xiaoran’s car, Huo Xiaoran started the accelerator and drove away.

Lu Mo looked at the scenery outside the window and could not hide the joy in her eyes. Speaking of which, today was Huo Xiaoran’s first date with her.

“Senior, where are we going to tour?” she asked curiously.

“Jinghang Pharmaceutical Company,” Huo Xiaoran said faintly.

Lu Mo’s expression turned cold. The hand that was holding the medicine bag trembled uncontrollably.
