544 Adopted Sister Was Beaten Up

“It’s true that Xing Chen fell in love with you at first sight, but Xiaoran also fell in love with you at first sight. Xing Chen’s love is filled with insecurity, retreat, and doubt. But Xiaoran’s love is filled with persistence and unwillingness to give up. In comparison, Xiaoran’s love is even heavier and deeper. An’an, Xing Chen is only one side of Xiaoran, and Xiaoran has many facets. Every side loves you.” Huo Xiaoran opened his dark eyes and said extremely seriously.

Qiao An felt a lump in her throat. “Brother Xiaoran, you never told me that you loved me so much.”

Huo Xiaoran pinched her nose. “The rest of my life is very short. In the future, I just have to do one thing, and that’s to give you happiness. An’an, I want to abandon my pride and love you well because you’re worth it.”

Qiao An’s eyes turned red. She held Xiaoran’s face. “Brother Xiaoran, thank you for loving me so much.”

“Silly.” In Huo Xiaoran’s opinion, he should thank Qiao An. Qiao An had brought a beam of light to his dark world. He was only motivated to fulfill various faiths of his future life because of this beam of light.

After Huo Xiaoran pounded the medicine into powder, he added water and turned it into a paste. He let Qiao An lie on the bed and apply a thin layer to her burns.

“Brother Xiaoran, will it be effective?” After all, Qiao An was a girl. Girls tend to be hung up about appearances. She was actually not so confident in Xiaoran’s medical skills since he had just recovered his memory.

After all, the patients in the confinement area had a fever. If it were Huo Xiaoran, with his superb skills and the accuracy of his medicine, those patients’ conditions might have long been broken through by him.

However, after he lost his memory, he had a relatively blunt medical sense.

Huo Xiaoran could tell that Qiao An was not confident in him. He smiled and flirted with her. “Are you so unconfident in Brother Xiaoran’s medical skills?”

Embarrassed, Qiao An said, “Didn’t you lose your memory? I was thinking that medicine is vast and profound. You’re lucky to have recalled half of it.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “If Brother Xiaoran forgets his skills, I won’t be able to support you and the children. Don’t you despise me?”

“I’ll support you,” Qiao An said proudly. “I’m good at making money too.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled faintly.

He had seen many girls, rich or poor, and most of them had one thing in common: vanity.

An’an was an exception.

After Huo Xiaoran applied the medication to her, he pulled the blanket over her and instructed, “Don’t turn around for eight hours. Can you do it?”

Qiao An thought that this was an extremely easy thing to persist in. After all, she had been doing so for two days. Why would she care about a mere seven or eight hours?

She nodded. “Okay.”

However, she had underestimated Huo Xiaoran’s high expectations of her.

The medicine covered a wide area. She couldn’t even roll sideways to relieve the pressure. She could only maintain one position. She couldn’t do it after an hour.

Soon, her forehead was covered in a cold sweat. Her arms couldn’t support her anymore. “Brother Xiaoran, I can’t take it anymore,” Qiao An called out.

When Huo Xiaoran suddenly heard this, he was so worried that his entire body went limp. He ran over quickly and asked nervously, “An’an, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t feel comfortable lying down.” Qiao An looked at her with hazy eyes, as innocent as a little rabbit.

Huo Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

An’an looked at him pitifully. “Brother Xiaoran, I want to turn over. I want to lie down.”

Xiao Ran picked Qiao An up so she straddled his waist.

When Qiao An’s body left the bed, Xiao Ran realized that her sweat had drenched her clothes.

His heart ached.

He hated the arsonists even more.

Qiao An pressed herself against him softly. This position made her much more comfortable. However, she was concerned about Xiaoran’s exhaustion. After all, she was not light.

“Brother Xiaoran, put me down after holding me for a while.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were moist. She was always considerate of others, but she had never schemed for herself.

“An’an, if you don’t want to lie down, Hubby can carry you. I can always carry you.”

An’an hugged him and nibbled on his neck like an ant.

Xiao Ran smiled.

Just as the two of them were flirting affectionately, Xing Xiaoya’s hysterical howl suddenly came from next door. “Ah.”

Qiao An was shocked. “What happened to Xing Xiaoya?”

However, when she thought of how Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning had harmed her, her sympathetic heart suddenly darkened.

“As expected, retribution,” she said happily.

She glanced at Huo Xiaoran and her smugness instantly disappeared.

Huo Xiaoran frowned with a dark expression.

Qiao An thought he was angry with her. After all, Xing Xiaoya was his adopted sister, and Xiaoran valued relationships.

“I’m… I’m sorry. My mouth,” Qiao An said guiltily.

Seeing her carefully fawning over him, Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “An’an, I’m not Xing Chen. Xing Chen has something he wants to protect, and the person I, Huo Xiaoran, want to protect is you. You don’t have to fawn over me. You can be domineering, indulgent, and arrogant. I’ll only support you.”

An’an was flattered. “You don’t know, but you’ve alienated me twice in the past because of Xing Xiaoya. I’m afraid you’ll protect her again.”

Huo Xiaoran said in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t know better. It was hard on you.”

Qiao An gritted her teeth in hatred when she thought of how bad Xing Xiaoya was.

Now that Huo Xiaoran had given her the confidence to indulge, she said, “Brother Xiaoran, I want to teach her a lesson.”

Huo Xiaoran said dotingly, “Alright, do whatever you want.”

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

She indeed hated people like Xing Xiaoya who were immoral. However, because of her immoral nature, the Huo Xiaoran who loved Qiao An, trusted her unconditionally and protected her was uncovered. Her hatred for Xing Xiaoya immediately lessened.

However, it was Qiao An’s principle to punish those who made mistakes.

Just as Qiao An was thinking about how to punish Xing Xiaoya, Xing Xiaoya’s scream sounded next door again.

“What happened to her? Brother Xiaoran, I’ll go take a look.” Qiao An couldn’t hide the excitement in her words.

Of course, she would be happy if someone put this girl in her place.

When Huo Xiaoran saw Qiao An’s smug look, he only felt that she was cute. Qiao An didn’t want to show her worst side to Huo Xiaoran. In addition, Xing Xiaoya was the sister Xing Chen once cared about the most, so she quickly restrained herself.

She even deliberately comforted Huo Xiaoran. “Why don’t we go take a look at her?”

Huo Xiaoran said indifferently, “There’s no need.”

Qiao An was stunned.

Huo Xiaoran’s indifference to Xing Xiaoya refreshed her worldview.

“Brother Xiaoran, she seems to have been beaten up?”

“I know. Because I arranged for it.”

Qiao An was completely dumbfounded.
