The man turned and looked at Qiao An in shock. “Are you blind?” he said angrily. “This isn’t a Didi. Get off.”
Qiao An’s hand was searching for something in her bag as she begged, “Brother, do me a favor and give me a ride. When I’m out of danger, I’ll repay you.”
She reached for a pinhole camera, slipped it quietly under the sofa cushion, and adjusted the angle.
The man looked around and didn’t see what the woman described as a bloody chase. Thinking he might have encountered a lunatic running out of the hospital, he kicked open the car door and came to the back.
He pulled Qiao An out by her hair and raised his fist to greet her.
“Ouch.” Qiao An curled her stomach in pain.
When the man hit her a second time, his hand was intercepted by a beautiful hand. Huo Xiaoran was furious and returned a beautiful punch, instantly deforming his face.
This was the first time Qiao An had seen such a fierce side of Huo Xiaoran. However, she was not curious at all. This man was two-faced and ruthless.
His current ferocity was just for show.
Huo Xiaoran reached out and Qiao An glared at him.
Damn it. Did he think he could buy her heart by doing that?
She, Qiao An, was not a fool.
Seeing that she was not cooperating, Huo Xiaoran picked her up and walked into the hospital.
“Put me down.”
“Then tell me, are you hurt?”
“No.”
Damn. Why was he nervous?
Compared to this punch, the pain she had suffered three years ago was really a drop in the ocean. It was as insignificant as an itch.
They were arguing happily and did not notice the frightened and questioning eyes of the man behind them.
Qiao An struggled too hard, and Huo Xiaoran could only put her down.
He trapped Qiao An against the wall and blocked her way with one hand. The domineering aura was overwhelming.
“Tell me, how have you been these past few years?”
Qiao An sneered at him. “You don’t know?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Be serious.”
Qiao An didn’t even want to talk to him. “It’s none of your business,” she said very impatiently.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Just now, you said that you gave me good luck and paid a heavy price. What does that mean?”

Qiao An was speechless. She said disdainfully, “Literally, don’t you understand?”
Huo Xiaoran felt a lump in his throat. “So you haven’t been living well these past few years, right?”
Qiao An didn’t bother to argue with him.
Silence met this.
Huo Xiaoran said, “I should have known that you weren’t doing well. That man flirted with another woman in front of you. He’s not a gentleman at all. How can you be happy with him?”
Qiao An was stunned.
After thinking for a long time, she realized that the man Huo Xiaoran was talking about was her fake husband, Qiao He.
She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn’t explain.
They were already strangers, so there was no need to waste her breath on him.
“Qiao An, give me your bank card number and I’ll give you the money.”
Qiao An was dumbfounded again.
Huo Xiaoran’s expression was as if she was looking at a fairy.
This man was really strange. His face was so strange that he could be affectionate with you while wanting to take your life.
But when he was affectionate, Qiao An couldn’t hate him.
Because his eyes were filled with love.
“You should change careers and become an actor,” Qiao An said angrily.
Then she slipped out from under his arm and sprinted away.
Huo Xiaoran stood rooted to the ground, chewing on Qiao An’s words.
Why did she say he was an actor? Did she not believe he was good to her?
Ha-ha.
How ironic.
He was sincere about her, but here she was questioning his love for her.
Qiao An ran away in a panic before taking out her phone and installing the surveillance software.
She no longer hoped to hear any effective information. After all, Huo Xiaoran’s timely appearance had ruined her plans.
Besides, Qiao An felt that she had alerted the enemy. She was very worried that they would plot against her again.
It seemed she had to hide herself for the time being.
When Qiao An got home, she stocked up on food, then sent the three children to the Qiao He’s rented house. She reminded Qiao He and the nanny not to go out unless necessary.
Qiao He agreed very readily.
The next day, he brought Angel Qiao to the film base. He carried the child and introduced her to the directors. “Director, if there’s a scene with a child star, look for my angel.”
When the directors saw Angel Qiao’s beautiful and dialectical face, they immediately loved her.
Then that same day, Angel Qiao made her first screen appearance. She was in a public service ad shoot.
Angel Qiao really had the talent to act. Her soft voice and exquisite eyebrows could act out all kinds of love and hate.
When she was angry, she was like a spoiled young lady.
When she was cold, she was like a lost fairy.
When she was happy, her laughter was demonic and arrogant.
Word of Angel Qiao’s beauty quickly spread.
Soon, the ad with Angel Qiao was on TV.
When Huo Zhou lay on the bed and saw the advertisement for Angel Qiao, he almost immediately jumped up from the bed. Without even putting on his coat, he went to Huo Xiaoran’s residence.
Fortunately, they were neighbors.
“Xiaoran, Xiaoran.”
Huo Xiaoran was a little surprised to hear Huo Zhou’s excited voice. After all, Huo Zhou had always had a cold and calm face. This was the first time he had lost control of his emotions.
Huo Xiaoran opened the door and looked at Huo Zhou like a vengeful spirit.
“It’s late. Aren’t you going to bed?”
Huo Zhou excitedly waved his phone in front of Huo Xiaoran. “Xiaoran, look at this.”
Huo Xiaoran saw Angel Qiao waving her arms and making a cute heart gesture at him.
Huo Xiaoran’s frown could not help but relax, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“How lovely,” he said involuntarily.
Huo Zhou said, “This child looks more and more like Qiao An. Why isn’t she your daughter?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Angel Qiao on the screen and smiled.
He thought that if this child was his, he would probably be a slave to his daughter for the rest of his life.

“What’s her name?” Huo Xiaoran asked casually.
Huo Zhou said, “Angel!”
Huo Xiaoran’s smile froze. “Angel? Angel?”
Was this an accident or a coincidence?
She was actually called an angel too?
It was the same screen name he had once used.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Zhou asked casually when he saw Huo Xiaoran in a daze.
“This child has the same online name as me,” Huo Xiaoran said.
Huo Zhou’s expression froze.
“This child is really fated with you. She looks like your first love, and her name is your online name? This fate is indescribable.”
Huo Xiaoran also felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
“Zhou Zhou, I want to see this child,” Huo Xiaoran said.
Huo Zhou said, “I’ll call you when she comes to the film base tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
