Chapter 194 - Temptation

After a long hesitation, Qiao An’s eyes flickered with intelligence. “I can be a screenwriter, but I have conditions.”

“Tell me.” In order to create a chance for Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An to be alone, Huo Zhou went all out.

“You have to be responsible for my safety,” Qiao An said.

Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran and asked him with his eyes, “Why do I feel that she’s a little mentally unstable?”

Huo Xiaoran frowned and carefully examined Qiao An. He was afraid that Qiao An would have a mental breakdown.

As far as he knew, the symptoms of such fantasies were the late stages of depression.

“Okay.” Huo Zhou really treated Qiao An as a lunatic at this moment. He tried his best to go along with her. As for whether he should send someone to protect her, that was another matter.

Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I agree to your request.”

For some reason, Huo Zhou regretted it.

He originally thought that Qiao An was a talented woman with fair skin, good looks, and long legs, so he tried his best to matchmake her and Huo Xiaoran.

Now that he realized that Qiao An was a little mentally unstable, he no longer wanted to matchmake them.

“That’s all for now. Let’s talk another day.” Huo Zhou pulled Huo Xiaoran away.

Not far away, Lu Mo’s gaze was like a poisonous tongue as it wrapped around Qiao An. A poisonous plan was brewing.

Her venomous gaze flicked to the glass in her hand, then switched to the warm, pure expression of a bunny in a second. She walked toward Qiao An.

“Qiao An.”

She handed Qiao An a glass of red wine and sat in front of her. She began to get friendly. “When you came to the hospital to see me the other day, I said something I shouldn’t have. I hope you’ll be magnanimous and forgive me.”

Ever since Qiao An found out that the Lu family’s driver was the one who had hit her three years ago, she had harbored grudges against the Lu family.

She looked at Lu Mo’s pure face and wondered if Lu Mo was involved in this deliberate murder.

It was rare for Lu Mo to analyze her emotions deeply to Qiao An. “Qiao An, don’t blame me. You also know that I’ve loved Senior for so many years. While I’ve finally achieved success, an ex-girlfriend like you will appear in front of Senior from time to time. Any woman will be jealous and angry.”

Qiao An was afraid that she would implicate the innocent. After all, she was indebted to Lu Mo. Moreover, Lu Mo was now terminally ill, so she couldn’t treat Lu Mo ruthlessly.

Qiao An said, “I’m sorry, Dr. Lu. I’ve caused you to misunderstand. Don’t worry, Huo Xiaoran and I are already in the past. We won’t be together. Not in the past and not in the future.”

Lu Mo said, “Qiao An, I don’t believe you don’t have any feelings for my senior. No woman wouldn’t be attracted to a handsome, rich, and powerful man like him.”

Qiao An’s secret was exposed and she suddenly became a little anxious.

She picked up her wine and drained it.

Using the alcohol, she said to Lu Mo, “It doesn’t matter if I like him or not. The key is whether he likes me or not. Dr. Lu, you’re his fiancée. You should be more confident. If he likes anyone, no one can control him. He must have married you because he loves you.”

Lu Mo looked at Qiao An in a daze.

A faint grayness clouded her eyes.

Qiao An was too full of herself.

If you knew how much Huo Xiaoran loved you, you would definitely regret it.

Lu Mi promised to never never Qiao An a chance to turn back. She looked at the empty wine glass and sneered evilly.

In the red wine was the special drug she had prepared for Qiao An. After Qiao An drank it, she would probably have to find a man to have sex with tonight.

And she would expose her ugliness in bed.

At that time, Senior would not want her anymore.

The organizer of the grand banquet, which lasted for two days and one night, specially provided hotel accommodation for the authors.

Not long after Qiao An returned to her house, she felt there was something wrong with her body. It was terribly hot.

She touched her forehead and was shocked to realize that she had a fever. She turned on the hot water and soaked, thinking that physical cooling would make her feel better.

Unexpectedly, after soaking in the water, her body was filled with lust.

Qiao An was naive. Even now, she didn’t realize that she had been plotted against in broad daylight. She felt that she must have a strange illness.

She put on her pajamas and lay on the bed.

Her phone rang. She picked it up and said weakly, “Hello.”

“Qiao An, come to my room.” Huo Xiaoran’s voice sounded.

If his voice hadn’t been so gentlemanly, Qiao An would have scolded him on the spot.

“What time is it, President Huo? Calling a beautiful woman at this time will make people suspect that you want to summon a whore.”

“It’s not even nine yet,” Huo Xiaoran reminded her.

Qiao An said, “Why are you looking for me?”

“The copyright fee. The screenwriter’s fee. Come and get it.”

Qiao An said, “Oh.”

She pulled on a coat and stumbled outside.

Huo Xiaoran’s presidential suite was not far from her room. When she arrived at Huo Xiaoran’s room, he had already opened the door for her.

She pushed open the door and stumbled inside.

Huo Xiaoran saw that Qiao An’s face was red and she was walking unsteadily. He almost jumped up and rushed forward to support her. “An’an, what’s wrong?”

Qiao An still had some semblance of sanity. “I think I’m sick. Dr. Ho, can you take a look at me?”

Huo Xiaoran carried her to the sofa and peeled open her coat. He realized that she was only wearing her pajamas.

Afraid that she would catch a cold, Huo Xiaoran walked to the door and closed it.

Then he turned back to Qiao An and touched her forehead. “Are you running a fever? Tell me, where are you unwell?”

“My body is so soft…”

Was that a temptation?

How could he not know that she was delicate and soft?

“Weak. Dizzy,” Qiao An finished through gritted teeth.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Fever can cause dizziness. An’an, don’t be afraid. You probably caught a cold.”

He was extremely gentle. “Open your mouth and let me see.”

Qiao An cooperated by opening her mouth.

Huo Xiaoran turned on the flashlight on his phone and looked.

“Throat is normal. Does your throat hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly became nervous.

An inexplicable fever reminded him pessimistically of many critical illnesses.

He had clearly been a doctor for so many years and had never been so flustered in the face of all kinds of life and death.

Because it was Qiao An, he was afraid,

He was afraid of her death. Afraid of losing her completely.

“An’an, I’m going to send you to the hospital. You have to do a blood test.” Huo Xiaoran took out his spare sweater from the closet and put it on Qiao An.

Qiao An narrowed her eyes and suddenly muttered, “Huo Xiaoran, I… want… you.”

Huo Xiaoran was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Qiao An’s hazy eyes and instantly realized, “You girl, you were drugged, right?”
