This answer vividly captured Qiao An’s naivety and the little girl’s vanity. However, only Qiao An knew the sadness and pain she hid in her heart.

Li Xiaoran’s heart was dead.

He stood up and walked forward, keeping a straight face.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaoran suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, “Qiao An, my patience is limited. I won’t wait for you here forever. I’ll give you one last chance. Are you willing to return to my side?”

“As long as you’re willing to come back, I won’t hold your past against you. I’ll help you end your marriage with Li Zecheng. How about it?” Li Xiaoran’s voice was piercingly cold. His entire body was cold, and he was a completely different person from the aloof Dr. Li from before.

Qiao An had only seen such a terrifying edge from Old Master. He was like a king who had been in charge for a long time.

At that moment, Qiao An inexplicably wanted to rely on him. To let him help her deal with the storm outside. She just had to be his little woman.

“Senior!”

Lu Mo’s sweet voice sounded. In the next second, a black shadow rolled into Li Xiaoran’s arms.

Qiao An suddenly trembled, and all her beautiful hopes and expectations were instantly shattered. Those hopes of getting back together with Li Xiaoran were sealed in her heart again.

She sobered again.

She had almost become a shameful third party.

Li Xiaoran pushed Lu Mo away very unnaturally. After Lu Mo stood still, she saw Qiao An and Li Xiaoran standing together. Li Xiaoran’s 188cm height made Qiao An look even more petite and inexperienced. They looked really compatible with each other.

Li Xiaoran was like an independent young master, and Qiao An was like an elf from an anime.

Lu Mo’s almond-shaped eyes widened as she questioned Qiao An, “Senior, Qiao An, why are you together?”

Qiao An explained in a panic, “Lu Mo, don’t misunderstand. Doctor Li and I just happened to meet.”

Lu Mo glared at Li Xiaoran angrily. “Senior, I want to hear your explanation.”

Li Xiaoran explained listlessly, “Momo, I’ll tell the truth. Actually, I wanted to do something with her, but Qiao An didn’t give me a chance.”

With just one sentence, he cleverly helped Qiao An out.

However, she felt wronged and sad.

Qiao An took the opportunity. “Lu Mo, don’t worry. As long as you’re with Dr. Li, I, Qiao An, will never be a third party.”

Li Xiaoran was speechless. He suddenly realized that it seemed very irrational for him to agree to Lu Mo being his girlfriend.

When Qiao An turned to leave, Li Xiaoran suddenly grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving.

“Qiao An, go to my rental house. I’ll treat the wound on your neck.”

Lu Mo said unhappily, “If you let her go to your place, I’ll go to your place too. But if that’s the case, Qiao An won’t have a place to sleep at night.”

“She’s sleeping in my bedroom,” Li Xiaoran blurted out.

Qiao An and Lu Mo glared at him.

“Senior, what are you thinking about?” Lu Mo stomped her feet in anger.

Li Xiaoran realized that they had misunderstood him and immediately explained, ” Qiao An sleeps in the master bedroom, you sleep in the second bedroom, and I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Mo refused. “Why is she sleeping in the master bedroom while I sleep in the second bedroom? No, I’m your girlfriend. I want to sleep on your bed and cover you with your blanket.”

Li Xiaoran said, “No, I’m obsessed with cleanliness.”

“Then why can Qiao An sleep on your bed?” Lu Mo’s eyes were red with anger.

Li Xiaoran was unable to explain.

Seeing that they were arguing, Qiao An quickly tried to smooth things over. “Stop arguing. I won’t go to Doctor Li’s house. I’d better go home.” With that, she staggered out with her bag.

Li Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s argument stopped.

Li Xiaoran glared at Lu Mo and said, “Momo, Li Zecheng just quarreled with Qiao An. I was afraid that Qiao An would be harmed by Li Zecheng when she returned home, so I found an excuse to pick her up. Can you stop pestering me?”

She pouted and said aggrievedly, “I’m your current girlfriend, but you’re so good to her. Of course I’ll be jealous.”

Li Xiaoran said helplessly, “Momo, loving someone who doesn’t love you is a very painful thing. Senior has experienced it, so I don’t want you to suffer.”

Lu Mo said, “But I just can’t control myself from liking you.”

Li Xiaoran said, “But I can’t help but like Qiao An.”

Lu Mo was silent.

Qiao An wandered outside for a long time, exhausted. In the end, she found a hotel to stay.

Perhaps she was too tired. She fell asleep not long after she fell.

The next day, Qiao An slept until she woke up naturally.

When she went to check out, the hotel staff looked at her very strangely.

Qiao An subconsciously stared at them a few more times and touched her face. Was her face dirty?

A staff kindly reminded her, “Mrs. Li, you’re on the hot search.”

Qiao An picked up her phone and flipped to the trending news today. She instantly understood why she was the center of attention.

It turned out that Wei Xin had posted in the wee hours of the morning. It read,”How did the rich Mrs. Li step on others’ love to reach the top?”

The post highlighted the childhood sweetheart love between Wei Xin and Li Zecheng, and outlined the relationship between Qiao An and Li Zecheng.

After distorting the truth, Qiao An became the third party in Li Zecheng and Wei Xin’s relationship.

The powerful internet vitriol was drowning Qiao An, scolding her badly and saying that she didn’t knew her place and was a thief.

Qiao An almost vomited blood. What made Qiao An even more depressed was that the hotel staff had leaked her residence. Some brainless fans were blocking the entrance of the hotel, clamoring for her to “apologize with death.”

Qiao An could only retreat to her hotel room, not daring to go out.

If Li Ze’en’s distorting the truth and slandering Qiao An had already made her furious, then Li Zecheng’s actions made Qiao An determined to destroy everything with them.

Li Zecheng called Qiao An. He was no longer as humble as last night. Instead, he was arrogant and rude as he negotiated with Qiao An.

“Qiao An, where are you?”

“Li Zecheng, what’s with the trending topic today?” Qiao An questioned angrily.

Li Zecheng smiled brightly. “Qiao An, you’ve always been the one to send us to the hot searches. Now, you’ve finally tasted the feeling of being on the hot searches, right? How does it feel?”

Qiao An said angrily, “How can you lie through your teeth?”

Li Zecheng said proudly, “No, no, no. Wei Xin is telling the truth. Wei Xin and I are indeed childhood sweethearts, and you are indeed the third party who ruined our love.”
