Old Master Huo said humbly, “In-law, don’t worry. My Xiaoran was wrong. I’ll definitely get him to compensate Lu Mo later.”

With Mr. Huo’s guarantee, Lu Mo and Mrs. Lu felt a little better.

In the ward, perhaps because Huo Xiaoran’s desire for Qiao An touched the heavens, the originally unconscious Qiao An suddenly saw a faint light.

The faint light shone in a corner. Curled in the corner was a young man in white. He was very handsome, but there was a lot of blood on his wrist. There was a fruit knife beside him.

“What are you doing, Angel?” a girl shouted eagerly.

“My family doesn’t want me anymore. I’m sick and I feel terrible. I think it’s better to die than live my life in a daze and be a walking dead that’s useless to society.”

“Brother, no. Don’t die. Your family doesn’t want you anymore, then I’ll be your family from now on. Don’t worry, I won’t give up on you for the rest of my life. Don’t die, okay?”

“Silly girl, I’m sick. I don’t have the money to see a doctor. I don’t want to die alone in a dirty, smelly room without anyone noticing. At least, I’m clean if I die like this.”

“Brother, I have money. Take it and go see a doctor.”

“My illness requires a lot of money.”

“Then I’ll work hard to earn money for you and study hard. That way, you’ll have money to treat your illness. Brother, I’m very smart. I’ll definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the future. So live, okay?”

“Silly girl. Okay, I’ll live. For you.”

The young man struggled to his feet, but he was too weak to stand.

He fell again and again and stood up stubbornly.

The little girl felt sorry for him and cried her heart out.

“Brother… you’re amazing.”

“Don’t cry, girl. As long as you’re with me, I’ll stand up eventually.”

“Stay with me. Don’t break your promise.”

Qiao An’s breathing quickened. Nervous. Pain made her open her eyes.

The air smelled of antiseptic, and the rich scent wafted into her nose. Only then did she know that she had been on the verge of death and had met an angel.

It was Brother Xiaoran who awakened her desire to live.

“An’an.”

When Huo Xiaoran saw Qiao An suddenly open her eyes, he was overjoyed. “You’re finally awake? Do you know that you almost left?”

Qiao An saw Huo Xiaoran’s bloodshot eyes and pale face. She suddenly remembered what Li Changhai had said to her. “Huo Xiaoran loves you to the core. Your existence is Lu Mo’s greatest threat.”

She finally knew that even if she didn’t do anything, she was indeed the greatest threat to Lu Mo.

“Brother Xiaoran.” She wanted to call out to him, but she couldn’t make a sound.

Huo Xiaoran gently stroked her forehead like he was protecting a baby and comforted Qiao An. “Alright, it’s alright. It’s all in the past. An’an, you’re safe.”

“Promise me you’ll take good care of yourself and stop making me worry. Okay?”

Qiao An stared into his wet eyes. A man, crying like a child. Her heart lurched.

“Brother Xiaoran, I won’t be willful anymore,” she muttered silently.

‘I’ll trust you any time in the future. Never trust anyone again.’

“I’m going to keep the promise I made to you. I’m going to give you a home and stay with you until you’re old.”

… .

Huo Xiaoran kissed her forehead and said reluctantly, “I’ll call the doctor in.”

Then he got up and left the suite.

When he stepped out of the ICU, he was immediately surrounded by a sea of people.

“Xiaoran, how’s Qiao An?” Old Madam Huo asked uneasily when she saw Xiaoran’s bloodshot eyes.

Xiaoran’s throat was still hoarse as she said, “She’s awake.”

Old Madam Huo heaved a sigh of relief.

If Qiao An was saved, Xiaoran would be saved.

However, the Lu family did not care about Qiao An’s life. Mrs. Lu questioned Xiaoran angrily, “Huo Xiaoran, you abandoned my Momo at the engagement banquet to look for Qiao An and made my Lu Mo the laughing stock of the entire city. You’re too wicked. Do you know that?”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly clenched his fists, and his eagle eyes instantly cracked. “I didn’t settle scores with you, but you came to settle scores with me first. Li Changhai was the one who buried Qiao An alive, right? Didn’t you say that you would send him away as soon as possible? Where is he?” he roared.

Mother Lu had done too many bad things and was getting better at dealing with them.

“Xiaoran, Li Changhai didn’t do this. Li Changhai left by plane long ago.”

“Give me the ticket and flight…”

Huo Zhou stood up and whispered into Huo Xiaoran’s ear, “Xiaoran, I’ve already called the police. Don’t worry, if he’s still in the country, he definitely won’t be able to escape.”

Mrs. Lu’s expression darkened.

She took the opportunity to rub against Lu Mo and gave her a look.

Lu Mo stepped forward with tears in her eyes and asked Huo Xiaoran timidly, “Senior, does our engagement still count?”

Huo Xiaoran was slightly stunned. He was very tired at this moment and did not have the energy to think about this at all.

Mr. Huo made the decision for him. “Xiaoran, your family and friends have all witnessed this engagement banquet. It’s also your fault for leaving halfway. In my opinion, you should honor this engagement.”

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment. “Okay.”

Lu Mo was overjoyed.

However, Mrs. Lu pushed her luck. “Since the engagement banquet has already been held, you should quickly move in together. Xiaoran, you and Momo are not young anymore. In my opinion, you should find a good day and move into a new house.”

Huo Xiaoran clearly trembled.

Lu Mo said shyly, “Senior, let’s live together before marriage to test our chemistry.”

Huo Xiaoran said stiffly, “No, I refuse to live together before marriage. This is a sign of disrespect to you.”

Lu Mo was speechless. She’d rather he didn’t respect her.

In order to resolve the awkwardness, Mother Lu smiled and said, “Then quickly find a day to get your marriage certificate.”

Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran expectantly.

This time, Huo Xiaoran did not resist. “Yes.”

Lu Mo was overjoyed.

Forty-eight hours later, Qiao An’s physical indicators were approaching normal. She was transferred to a general ward.

Today, she could speak freely.

Lu Mo came to see Qiao An early in the morning with a food box. Qiao An was in good spirits, even if she was a little sick, she was as quiet as a delicate flower. She was even more beautiful.

She was thinking, how could such a Qiao An not move Huo Xiaoran?

“Qiao An.” Lu Mo pretended to be gentle and magnanimous.

“I bought you breakfast. Have some.”

Qiao An said warily, “I’m not hungry. Leave it.”

Lu Mo was stunned for a moment before she put on a victorious posture and smiled. “An’an, it’s a pity that you couldn’t come to my engagement party with Xiaoran yesterday.”

Qiao An watched her clumsy performance in silence.
