Qiao An stood up and quietly looked at Li Xiaoran’s baby-like face.

She felt indescribably depressed and uncomfortable. The person she was going to marry was supposed to be a loving and devoted man like Brother Xiaoran, but fate played tricks on her. She was already someone else’s wife.

“Brother Xiaoran, I’m sorry. Qiao An is no longer worthy of your affection.”

She leaned over and tucked him in gently.

Li Xiaoran suddenly stretched out his long arms and held Qiao An tightly in his arms. Then, his lips captured hers and kissed her hard.

“Xiao An!” Li Xiaoran called out in a muffled voice.

Qiao An was momentarily stunned.

She tried her best to push Li Xiaoran. However, her body was weak, and Li Xiaoran turned over and pressed her under him. Only then did she realize that it was no longer a matter of whether she wanted to or not.

“Qiao An, come back.”

“Brother Xiaoran, wake up quickly. You can’t do this?”

…

In the end, Li Xiaoran fell asleep from the exhaustion. Qiao An felt the pain in her body and thought of Li Xiaoran’s madness. She was desperate and terrified.

She scrambled to her feet and fled.

Fortunately, when she returned to Li Zecheng’s room, he was also drunk.

Qiao An looked at the sleeping Li Zecheng. She fell to the ground dejectedly. In the end, she took off Li Zecheng’s clothes and lay beside him naked.

She knew her world had completely collapsed.

The next day.

When Li Zecheng woke up and saw Qiao An lying beside him, he didn’t feel any pity for her. Instead, he couldn’t hide his joy.

He got up, showered and changed.

Qiao An seemed startled awake by him. She opened her eyes sleepily, but there was no hint of drowsiness in them.

She looked coldly into the bathroom and closed her eyes. A small sigh.

When Li Zecheng came out of the shower, Qiao An glared at him fiercely. Li Zecheng smiled and said, “An’an, did we…”

Qiao An suddenly stood up, walked up to him, and slapped him hard. He berated, “Li Zecheng, I’ve just recovered from my injuries. Are you still human to treat me like this?”

Li Zecheng was slapped. Instead of being angry, he smiled. “An’an, don’t be angry. When you have a child, we can get Grandpa’s reward. At that time, I will compensate you.”

‘Children?’

Qiao An froze in place?

Would she really get pregnant? With Li Xiaoran’s child?

Although she had a glimmer of hope in her heart that she could get pregnant with Li Xiaoran’s child, after all, it was the product of their love. However, her rationality told her that this child could not be born. Otherwise, once the scandal was exposed, not only would she have to deal with the flood, but Li Xiaoran would also have to face it.

How could she hurt Li Xiaoran?

Qiao An knew that she had to make a scene this morning and make Li Zecheng believe that she had slept with him last night.

Qiao An pounced on him, kicking and hitting him. “Li Zecheng, you’re an animal. How can you bully me at this time? Boohoo!”

Li Zecheng coaxed her in a rare good mood. “Alright, alright. An’an, don’t be sad. I promise, I’ll treat you well in the future.”

Outside the corridor, Lu Mo walked towards Li Xiaoran’s room with the stomach nourishing porridge. When she passed by Li Zecheng’s room and heard their argument, Lu Mo pursed her lips.

In Lu Mo’s opinion, Qiao An, who had fallen off the building, was weak. Now that she heard that she was not cherished by Li Zecheng, she felt even more sympathy for her.

When Lu Mo arrived at Li Xiaoran’s room, Li Xiaoran had yet to wake up.

Lu Mo tiptoed to the bed and quietly admired Li Xiaoran’s beautiful face. However, she saw the marks of love on Li Xiaoran’s neck.

Lu Mo’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She gently reached out and wiped the red mark. Li Xiaoran was startled awake and opened her eyes.

Then, he saw Lu Mo lying on him ambiguously. Her hand was still on his sexy Adam’s apple.

Li Xiaoran frowned. The abnormality of his body and the vague images from last night made him realize that he had lost his morals after drinking last night.

A look of frustration came over his handsome face.

“Momo, how did you get in?”

“Your mother gave me the key,” Lu Mo said with a smile. “Senior, your mother likes me a lot. She’s looking forward to me being your wife. Why don’t we fulfill her wish?”

Li Xiaoran stared fixedly at Lu Mo. After what happened last night, he felt that as a man, he really had to give Lu Mo an explanation.

In any case, he would never be with someone he loved.

It was duty and responsibility that finally drove him to a decision. “Okay.”

Lu Mo cheered excitedly. “Senior, are you really willing to be with me? Oh my god, I’m so happy. I’ve finally wooed you.”

Li Xiaoran looked down at his naked self under the blanket and said with a dark expression, “Momo, go out for a while. I’ll get dressed.”

Lu Mo said, “Senior, we’re already a couple. Is there a need to avoid me?”

Li Xiaoran said seriously, “I’m shy.”

Lu Mo smiled and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll go out first.”

Li Xiaoran came out of the shower wearing a casual sweater and jeans. He looked very sunny and handsome.

“Senior, I bought you some stomach-nourishing porridge. Eat it.” Lu Mo placed the porridge in his hand.

Li Xiaoran took a bite, but there was no taste at all.

The lobby.

When Li Zecheng and Qiao An arrived at the lobby, Qiao An still chose to sit in the wheelchair. Only she knew that she no longer had to rely on the wheelchair.

The wheelchair was just a prop to hide last night’s absurdity.

Qiao An scanned the crowd and saw Li Xiaoran and Lu Mo sitting together. Lu Mo held Li Xiaoran’s hand and announced shyly, “I’m in a relationship with Senior.”

Qiao An’s face turned deathly pale, and she felt all the blood in her body flow backward.

However, she forced herself to calm down. She should sincerely congratulate Li Xiaoran for being able to fall in love.

However, when she thought of her relationship with Li Xiaoran last night, she felt bitter.

She and Li Xiaoran were destined not to be together.

Li Zecheng was in a good mood today and became gentle and considerate to Qiao An. He pushed Qiao An towards Li Xiaoran.

He stopped Qiao An’s wheelchair in front of Li Xiaoran and smiled. “Uncle, congratulations. Your ten-thousand-year-old iron tree has finally bloomed.”

Li Xiaoran’s gaze landed on Qiao An’s face before he turned his head away dejectedly.

Qiao An said, “Doctor Li, Doctor Lu, congratulations on your relationship.”

Li Xiaoran did not speak and looked a little depressed.

However, Lu Mo was very happy. “Qiao An, thank you for your blessings.”

In the quiet restaurant, only Lu Mo’s loving voice suddenly sounded. “Senior and I will definitely be happy forever.”

Li Tingting said mischievously to Qiao An, “Qiao An, look at Lu Mo. She’s just like you. She likes to show off her love. She’s not afraid of dying quickly.”
