Qiao An was disappointed. “Do you love her?”

She stared into his pupils, but saw them suddenly contract as if stung.

“An’an, not every love in this world will blossom. Not every marriage is formed because of love. I think Lu Mo is the most suitable person for me in this world. Only she can tolerate my past,” Huo Xiaoran said frankly.

Qiao An felt inexplicably bitter. Everyone knew that Lu Mo loved Huo Xiaoran.

Everyone was touched by Lu Mo’s love, and Brother Xiaoran was an extremely grateful person. How could he not be touched by Lu Mo?

However, Lu Mo’s love was poppy flowers that hid poison.

Qiao An knew very well that Huo Xiaoran was a public figure. His love life was no secret in front of the media. His relationship with Lu Mo had already reached the point of marriage. If she snatched it from him now, it would definitely make things difficult for him.

And the press who didn’t know the truth were bound to paint him as a loose cannon. It would affect his future.’

She drummed her fingers lightly on her knee, her intelligent eyes shining. She seemed to be plotting something.

Not long after, Lu Mo arrived.

In the name of visiting the patient, she was actually worried about Huo Xiaoran spending too much time with Qiao An.

She didn’t even knock before she pushed open the door without warning.

Qiao An saw the suspicion in her eyes and smiled gently.

Was she here to catch him in the act?

Lu Mo heaved a sigh of relief when she did not see Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An’s actions. The hostility in her eyes disappeared and she replaced it with a smile as she walked slowly to Huo Xiaoran.

“Senior, you’re here too. I’m here to send Qiao An the report.” She hid her deliberate arrival.

Huo Xiaoran, didn’t understand why Lu Mo was here. He just followed her topic and said, “What report?”

Lu Mo handed him Qiao An’s blood test.

Huo Xiaoran looked at it seriously.

Qiao An deliberately made things difficult for Lu Mo. “Dr. Lu, please knock before you come in next time.”

Lu Mo’s face instantly heated up when Qiao An saw through her thoughts. She glanced at Huo Xiaoran uneasily, but found that he was also looking at her in confusion. Was he ashamed of her uninvited behavior?

Lu Mo defended herself. “Qiao An, I have too many things to do today. This made me a little impatient and I forgot to knock. I’ll be careful next time. Please forgive me.”

Qiao An was relentless. “Oh, if Dr. Lu is so busy, you don’t have to run errands for me. How can a neurosurgeon like you not be busy and tired after making an effort to attend to me?”

Lu Mo swallowed. Feeling guilty, she kept staring at Huo Xiaoran’s face. Fortunately for her, Huo Xiaoran was engrossed in reading the checklist.

Unexpectedly, after Huo Xiaoran finished reading the report, his expression relaxed. Then, he casually glanced at Lu Mo and said, “Momo, there are so many doctors and nurses in the hospital.You don’t need to bother with this.”

Lu Mo was unhappy and said, “I’m just concerned about her.”

Huo Xiaoran frowned. “Do you think she needs your concern?”

Lu Mo was speechless.

However, she gave him a taste of her own medicine and teased Huo Xiaoran, “Then she doesn’t need your concern. Senior, why are you here to see her?”

Huo Xiaoran was a little speechless. After a long time, he sighed and said, “I owe her.”

Qiao An pursed her lips and smiled. “Dr. Huo is an authoritative expert in medical skills. Any patient needs him. I need him too.”

Lu Mo was so angry that she rolled her eyes at Qiao An.

She didn’t understand. Didn’t Qiao An always protect her dignity in front of her? Today, she was deliberately trying to undermine her.

If she had known that she would be so heartless today, she would not have come looking for trouble.

“Senior, my mother heard that you’re also in the hospital. She asked you to have lunch with us.” Lu Mo only wanted to quickly take Huo Xiaoran away.

A hint of resistance appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes. He didn’t like Mrs. Lu, especially when he found out that Li Changhai and Mrs. Lu had a close relationship. After Li Changhai hurt Qiao An like that, he hated Li Changhai and inexplicably directed his anger on Mrs. Lu.

However, thinking that Li Changhai had yet to be arrested, Huo Xiaoran felt that he couldn’t avoid meeting Mrs. Lu. After all, he still had something to ask her.

“Okay.”

Before Huo Xiaoran left, he reminded Qiao An, “I’ll get the hospital to give you a checkup. You have to cooperate with the doctor obediently.”

Qiao An nodded obediently. “I understand.”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t help but smile when he saw her obedient face.

Lu Mo was so angry that her nails almost dug into her palms. She did not hide her jealousy and questioned Huo Xiaoran angrily, “Senior, have you ever considered my feelings when you care so much about her in front of me?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her indifferently. “You barged in without knocking. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Have you considered my feelings when you questioned me like this?”

Lu Mo’s face turned pale. Huo Xiaoran strode away.

Lu Mo chased after him humbly again. “Senior,”

Her posture was so humble that it was dust. “Senior, I just love you too much. I’m afraid you’ll be seduced by her.”

Huo Xiaoran said tiredly, “Momo, if Qiao An has any feelings for me, let me tell you, we can’t be together.”

“Even if you don’t trust me, you should believe Qiao An. She was married to Li Zecheng and had children with other men. And I’ve been waiting for her all those years. If she doesn’t choose me, she’s abandoning me completely.”

“I’m begging you to save me some dignity in front of Qiao An. I like her. It’s a burden on her. It’s a question of esteem for me.”

Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran in horror. Seeing that he loved her so humbly and so carefully, he tried his best to please Qiao An while carefully hiding his love. He used his pride to seal all his unwillingness, but one day, those inflated love would eventually conflict with his pride.

By then, Qiao An would know how much he loved her. And how could Qiao An not be subdued by such a beautiful love?

Lu Mo could only swallow all the bitterness and nod. “Senior, I understand.”

Lu Mo brought Huo Xiaoran to the high-end hotel that Mother Lu had booked.

In order to serve Huo Xiaoran well, Mother Lu ordered a table of delicious food.

However, there were only the three of them eating.

Huo Xiaoran reminded Mrs. Lu gently, “Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite to me in the future. This is too expensive.”

Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned. She and Lu Mo were used to being extravagant, so they thought that a noble man like Huo Xiaoran would also eat the most expensive food like them.

Mrs. Lu was good at socializing and immediately said tactfully, “Xiaoran, you usually work so hard, so of course I have to treat you better.”
