Mother Huang praised Qiao An for a long time before she came to her senses. Was she putting the cart before the horse?

Lu Mo was the future mistress of this family.

“President, I…” Mother Huang looked at Huo Xiaoran timidly.

Huo Xiaoran did not make things difficult for her and only said, “Go and make Qiao An a sumptuous dinner.”

“Aye.” Mother Huang left happily.

When Lu Mo returned home, she complained to her parents angrily, “Dad, Mom, I’m not getting married anymore.”

Mrs. Lu knew that she was throwing a tantrum and only glanced at her calmly.

Mr. Lu was very nervous and asked, “Did you have a fight with Xiaoran again?”

Lu Mo sat on the sofa and started crying. “Huo Xiaoran is too much of a bully. He’s actually living with Qiao An.”

The teacup in Mr. Lu’s hand toppled, and the tea spilled. The hot tea splashed on his hand, but he didn’t care.

He suddenly placed the teacup on the coffee table loudly and asked Lu Mo about the details with a livid expression.

“Momo, what’s going on? Xiaoran is about to marry you. Isn’t he fooling around by living with Qiao An?”

Lu Mo sobbed and exaggerated the grievances she had suffered today. Of course, she blamed Qiao An for most of the things that happened.

“Today, I went to Heavenly Imperial Garden to discuss the guest list for the invitation with Senior, but I saw bodyguards standing everywhere in front of his house. I was surprised and wanted to go in and take a look. Who knew that the bodyguards wouldn’t allow me to enter? I told them my identity and said that I was the future mistress of this house, but they still didn’t let me in. What do you think Huo Xiaoran means? He rejected me as his fiancée, but let Qiao An stay inside and protect her so well. What was he thinking?”

When Mr. Lu saw his daughter’s heartbroken expression, he, who felt sorry for her, slammed the table and stood up angrily.

“Xiaoran is too wicked. I have to go and argue with him.”

However, Mrs. Lu pulled him back and said, “Hubby, Momo and Xiaoran are about to get married. If you go and make a fuss tonight, what if the two sides fall out and Huo Xiaoran breaks off the marriage?”

Mr. Lu didn’t understand Mrs. Lu’s worldview. He looked at her in surprise and said indignantly, “If he still has feelings for Qiao An, I’d rather he call off the marriage. Otherwise, I’ll lose my life.”

Mother Lu was still thinking that after Lu Mo got together with this rich son-in-law, she would be able to obtain huge wealth. How could she fail at the last moment?

She quickly comforted Mr. Lu. “Hubby, don’t be rash. Didn’t you say that Huo Xiaoran is the best successor of Jinghang Hospital? If you ruin this son-in-law, where can you find such a suitable successor in the future?”

Mr. Lu glanced at Lu Mo, but when he saw Lu Mo’s aggrieved face, his heart ached. In the end, he stomped his feet and said, “Forget it. No matter how important Jinghang Hospital is, it’s not as important as my daughter’s happiness. I can tell that ever since my daughter got together with Xiaoran, she hasn’t really smiled from the bottom of her heart. I have to ask Huo Xiaoran clearly. If he doesn’t really love Lu Mo, then we won’t allow them to marry.”

With that, Father Lu strode away.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Mo accusingly and said, “Why are you so impatient? You’re getting married in two days. After you get married, you’ll get ten billion in assets. At that time, you’ll be the legitimate Mrs. Huo and Qiao An will be a mistress. Wouldn’t it be easy to deal with her then? Even a mouthful of saliva can drown her.”

Lu Mo also came back to her senses. At this moment, she was extremely terrified. She was afraid that if Father Lu caused trouble, Huo Xiaoran would abandon her.

“Mom, what do we do now?” she asked in trepidation.

Mrs. Lu said, “Go after your father.”

Hence, Lu Mo and her mother followed Father Lu to the Heavenly Imperial Garden.

Mother Huang had prepared a sumptuous dinner. Qiao An had originally deliberately avoided Huo Xiaoran and was unwilling to eat at the same table as him. However, Huo Xiaoran came to her room.

He pushed the door. It was locked from the inside. It didn’t matter. All the doors here could be opened by him from the outside. He entered the code and easily entered Qiao An’s bedroom.

Qiao An looked at him in surprise. “How did you get in?”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “Have you forgotten? You told me before that you have a bad temper and like to have cold wars with people. You told me to be mentally prepared. I tampered with every lock in case you get angry and decide to sleep in separate rooms in the future.”

Qiao An’s mouth formed a standard circle.

“Huo Xiaoran, we won’t get married, so your efforts will be in vain,” she reminded him coldly.

Huo Xiaoran smiled and did not say anything.

“An’an, have dinner with me.”

Qiao An glared at him. “Huo Xiaoran, why didn’t I realize before that you were so thick-skinned? Do you want me to remind you that we’re not husband and wife? I’m not obligated to eat with you.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “The children miss you.”

Qiao An was speechless.

After thinking about it, she considered that this might be the only time she and Huo Xiaoran had dinner with their children. Perhaps it could leave precious memories for their children.

She put down her phone. The moment the screen turned black, Huo Xiaoran saw that she had opened a chat box. She was chatting with a boy.

He frowns unhappily. “Who were you chatting with?”

“None of your business,” Qiao An said fiercely.

“Are you going to find the next one so soon?”

Qiao An suddenly looked up at him and smiled. “So what if I am?”

“You don’t have good taste. Let me check for you.” He swore he’d castrate him if he found out who it was.

Qiao An locked her phone screen warily. Then she looked at Huo Xiaoran proudly and left.

When they reached the dining room downstairs, the children cheered when they saw her. “Mommy’s clothes are beautiful,” Angel Qiao said.

“Mommy’s clothes aren’t beautiful,” Joey said. “Mommy’s beautiful.”

Qiao An glanced at her nightdress. Uh… she was a little embarrassed because her own clothes had been washed. All the clothes she was wearing now were bought by Huo Xiaoran.

She did not expect Huo Xiaoran’s taste to be recognized by the children.

However, she quickly understood that this had nothing to do with taste. Instead, it was because children liked colorful cartoons. Clearly, Huo Xiaoran treated her like a child.

There was a picture of Peppa Pig on the white nightdress.

Qiao An blushed silently.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An. Qiao An, who usually wore dark colors, suddenly wore a cool tone outfit that accentuated her milky skin. She was so beautiful.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An with an increasingly doting gaze.

In this life, he wouldn’t let Qiao An lose to any woman.
