Huo Xiaoran suddenly pulled her to the bed and turned around to press her down. “An’an, how can you be gentle and virtuous? If you do this, I won’t be able to leave you for the rest of my life.”

“Why? Are you still thinking of leaving me?” Qiao An was furious.

Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m afraid… I’m afraid that you’ll leave me. An’an, I’m really afraid. You don’t know, without you by my side, I’ll live in a daze.”

Qiao An hugged him back tightly. “I won’t leave you. I’ll cling to you for the rest of my life. Okay?”

“An’an, promise me that you’ll let me die before you.”

Qiao An was speechless.

At that moment, her heart ached. She thought that when Huo Xiaoran spoke about leaving, he was referring to a farewell. Unexpectedly, he meant death.

He’d lost his mother when he was young and lived like an orphan. He’d stumbled out of a depressed world alone. So he was afraid of losing someone again.

“Okay, I promise,” Qiao An said with poignance.

Huo Xiaoran lay on her body and buried his head in her shoulder, acting like a child. “An’an, I love you.”

“I know. Brother Xiaoran, I love you too.”

“Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, don’t let go of my hand easily. An’an, I’ve made up my mind to go with you for the rest of my life. I won’t let go. If you go back on your word in the future, don’t blame me. I won’t let go.”

Qiao An was speechless.

His obsession with love and his distrust of marriage must be why he had so little confidence in the future.

After all, the people around him were all married. Qiao An’s heart ached for him.

She bit his neck gently. “Brother Xiaoran. Our love will last until death.”

“Okay. Until death do us part.” He was suddenly restless.

“An’an, give it to me. I want you.”

“Yeah.”

Outside the door.

Li Zecheng stood quietly at the door and listened to the intimate sounds inside with a stiff face. The sourness in his chest spread to every cell in his body.

Huo Xiaoran was almost crazy when it came to his possessiveness of Qiao An. He said that even if Qiao An had a change of heart and wanted to leave him, he would never let go. His possessiveness left Li Zecheng inexplicably terrified.

If Huo Xiaoran would rather die than let go of Qiao An in this life, would he still have a chance with Qiao An?

Huo Xiaoran’s voice suddenly sounded from inside.

“An’an, you’re hurting me.”

“Uh, I’m sorry. I lost control.”

“I like it when you do that.”

… .

Li Zecheng didn’t dare to imagine the heat in the room. He only knew that Qiao An was different in front of Huo Xiaoran. It turned out that she was so bold in front of Huo Xiaoran because she really liked him.

But in front of him, she was timid. A hint of determination flashed across Li Zecheng’s eyes as he staggered away.

He walked to the end of the corridor and looked up to see Wei Xin looking at him with a dark expression.

Her lips curled sarcastically. “I didn’t expect you to have the habit of listening in.”

Panic and shame flashed across Li Zecheng’s eyes.

“Wei Xin, I…”

“Men are cheap. They only cherish somebody if they lost the other party.”

Li Zecheng was afraid that Qiao An would hear her if she was too loud. He grabbed Wei Xin’s hand and left quickly.

Wei Xin looked at his panicked expression and said, “Don’t worry, I don’t have the energy to suppress you today. Go and see your mother. Something happened to her.”

Li Zecheng’s face turned pale. He threw Wei Xin’s hand away and quickly ran to Third Madam’s room.

Third Madam cut her wrist with a knife and tried to kill herself. Fortunately, the servants discovered her early and held her back.

At this moment, Third Madam was lying on the bed lifelessly. Her wrist was wrapped in gauze and stained with blood.

Li Tingfeng sat by the bed with his head lowered. He was comforting Third Madam. “Why are you doing this? You know that you’re not with me because of love. Now that Zecheng is old enough, he can take good care of you even if we get a divorce. Why must you seek death?”

Third Madam looked at him expressionlessly. “You’re afraid of me dying, right? Hehe, I know that you don’t really care about me or love me. It’s just that if I die, you, a big CEO, will have the reputation of forcing your wife to death. You’re afraid that I’ll ruin your reputation, so you’re trying to persuade me.”

Li Tingfeng’s attitude turned cold and he said unhappily, “If you want to say that, I have nothing to say. You’re sincere in ruining my image, so I won’t live a good life with you.”

Third Madam was tired. It was not like her to argue with him on topics that would never come to a conclusion. She just made her stand very forcefully and said, “We’re not divorced yet. I’m still the mistress of this family. You know that I can’t tolerate sand in my eyes. Send her away. With me around, she can forget about staying in the Li family villa tonight. Unless I die.”

Li Tingfeng was furious. “It’s so late. Where do you want her to go? Can’t you be magnanimous and let her stay here for a night? I promise you, I’ll send her away tomorrow.”

Third Madam sat up angrily and pointed at the door. “There can only be one of us here tonight. Are you going to let her go?”

Seeing that she was in a bad mood again, Li Tingfeng said helplessly, “Then I’ll discuss it with her.”

He stood up and left. When he reached the door, she realized that Li Zecheng was standing at the door.

Li Zecheng glared at him fiercely. Li Tingfeng was actually a little afraid. He only said, “Take good care of your mother.” Then he left in a hurry.

Li Zecheng suddenly called out to him, “Dad.”

Li Tingfeng turned to look at him. Li Zecheng said, “I know that that woman gave birth to a pair of children for you, so you don’t care if I, your son, will be filial to you. But I have to tell you something. Qiao An could pull me down from the altar alone back then. My mother, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, is deeply rooted. It would really be easy to pull you and that mistress down if we want to.”

Li Tingfeng was stunned. “Why? Do you want to help your mother deal with me?”

Li Zecheng said, “You might not know, but Qiao An’s method of dealing with me back then was really brilliant. Although my mother is uncultured, she will learn to deal with you with an outstanding teacher like Qiao An. You will also lose a few layers of skin.”

Li Tingfeng snorted. “She won’t do that. If she does, your future will be ruined.” With that, he left.

He did not respect Third Madam’s words and sent the mistress out of the Li family overnight. Instead, he stayed in the mistress’s room and slept happily.

When Third Madam found out about this, she was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
