Chapter 380 - 380 Huo Zhou's Secret Love
380 Huo Zhou’s Secret Love
How many families had their families separated because of misunderstandings?
However, Qiao An’s strategic vision made him feel that she was very rare.
“An’an, it’s the Huo family’s happiness to have a daughter-in-law like you.”
Qiao An said shyly, “Grandpa, you flatter me. In fact, it’s my blessing to marry into the Huo family. At least the Huo family doesn’t despise me for having a complicated marriage history.”
Qiao An’s humble attitude comforted the old man.
He was relieved. He stood up and bade farewell. “An’an, bring Xiaoran over to visit your grandmother when you’re free.”
Qiao An was stunned.
The old lady was probably still a little concerned about not siding with Xiaoran that day and making her leave angrily.
Qiao An said, “Okay.”
In the backyard, Huo Zhou looked at the blooming roses incredulously.
“Xiaoran, did you plant these?”
“Yeah.”
Huo Zhou sighed. “For Qiao An, is there anything you can’t do?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “An’an is worth it.”
Huo Zhou’s eyes narrowed. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Xiaoran, are you really not curious about what Qiao An experienced when she disappeared?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou with a stern gaze. “I only know that if I hadn’t trusted Lu Mo blindly and if I had been brave enough back then, Qiao An wouldn’t have been sent far away by Li Changhai. Huo Zhou, I don’t have the right to condemn Qiao An’s past, because if it weren’t for me, she could have lived carefreely. She wouldn’t have met the wolf Li Zecheng, and she wouldn’t have met the scheming Lu Mo.”
Huo Xiaoran closed his eyes in pain.
A hint of understanding sympathy appeared on Huo Zhou’s face.
“Xiaoran, you don’t mind because you love her enough. But to outsiders, Qiao An is very mysterious. Her mystery is terrifying.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Huo Zhou, to me, Qiao An is like Qianqian in your heart.”
Huo Zhou nodded. “I understand. I won’t target her anymore.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Pick roses for your Sister Qianqian?”
Huo Zhou said excitedly, “Then I’ll accept it?”
Huo Zhou came to the flower field and picked eleven roses.
Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and picked nine roses.
When they went ashore, Huo Zhou asked him, “Xiaoran, are these for Qiao An?”
“Yeah.”
Huo Zhou teased, “You’re already an old couple. Why are you still so ritualistic?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I didn’t have the chance to dote on her in the past. Now, I have to make it up to her.”
“So how many did you pick?”
“Nine. I just want to be with An’an forever.”
Huo Zhou looked envious. “I’m really envious of you. You can love without restraint.”
When the two of them arrived at the front yard, Qiao An was already waiting for them at the intersection. Seeing the flowers in Huo Xiaoran’s hand, Qiao An smiled brightly.
Huo Xiaoran handed the rose bouquet to her. “An’an, here.”
Qiao An kissed his cheek. “Brother Xiaoran, thank you.”
Qiao An looked at Huo Zhou again and asked him, “Are you sure? Are you really going to woo Sister Qianqian?”
Huo Zhou nodded.
Qiao An said, “Cousin, the person you liked back then had given you beautiful memories. Time changes a person. If you approach her this time and realize that Sister Qianqian is no longer the person you like, you have to know when to stop.”
“Just like back then, I smashed into Li Zecheng’s marriage castle with my enthusiasm. In the end, I didn’t know how to stop and was injured all over.”
Huo Zhou didn’t understand that Qiao An was giving him a warning. He only felt that Qiao An’s disheartened words made his heart pound.
Huo Xiaoran patted his shoulder and said, “Go.”
Huo Zhou left hopefully. Qiao An watched his healthy pace and said, “I hope he would not be hurt by love.”
Huo Xiaoran held her waist and walked into the room.
He made Qiao An a cup of flower tea and saw that Qiao An had been daydreaming.
“An’an, why are you so worried?” he asked with concern.
Qiao An felt guilty. “Brother Xiaoran, am I being cruel to Cousin by doing this?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “He has to hit a wall to know that Qianqian is no longer what he likes. I hope that he can achieve enlightenment after this and completely pull his feelings away from Qianqian.”
Qiao An lay in his arms and sighed.
“Brother Xiaoran, you don’t know how good Qianqian is. If you’ve seen her, you know why Huo Zhou is so infatuated and stubborn.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Although I don’t know how good she is, I know how good you are. An’an, in this world, no amount of Qianqian can save me. Only you are my light.”
Qiao An smiled. “Brother Xiaoran, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An’s gentle eyes. He knew best that her beauty was never limited to her appearance. Since she was young, she had always been a kind, righteous, and sympathetic girl.
It was just that others did not know how good she was.
After Huo Zhou left Xiaoran’s residence, he called Qianqian.
When the call went through, his heart suddenly pounded. He was nervous, like an inexperienced child. At this moment, he regretted not bringing Huo Xiaoran out to help him.
The call went through. Huo Zhou asked Qianqian, “Sister Qianqian, it’s Zhou Zhou. Where are you? I want to see you.”
“Lu Qianqian” was still very surprised to receive Huo Zhou’s call. However, she could tell that Huo Zhou had a good impression of Qianqian.
She had no reason to reject Huo Zhou’s approach. After all, Huo Zhou was close to Huo Xiaoran, and Qiao An was Huo Xiaoran’s woman.
This was her bridge to getting close to Qiao An.
“I’m on Bino Road. I just got off work. Come over.”
Lu Qianqian’s gentleness warmed Huo Zhou’s heart.
Huo Zhou stepped on the accelerator and sped up to where Qianqian was.
“Sister Qianqian, this is for you.” He pushed open the car door and walked towards Qianqian. He handed the bright rose in his hand to Qianqian.
Qian Qian hesitated momentarily and said, “Zhou Zhou, do you know what roses mean?”
Huo Zhou nodded.
Qianqian looked at his sad expression and suddenly smiled. “Forget it, I won’t argue with children.” Then, she took the flowers readily.
Huo Zhou was a little confused. She had the intention to refuse and took the rose. What was she thinking?
“Sister Qianqian, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“I’d like that.”
Huo Zhou and Lu Qianqian arrived at a high-end restaurant. However, at the door, they bumped into Xiao Ming.
