A Fair Lady, A Gentleman’s Desire (2)

The boy kicked the girl in the leg. She whimpered. “If you hit me again, I’ll scream. My family won’t let you off if they know you hit me.”

“Do you think I’m afraid? Lu Xiaoyun, I’ve grown up. What haven’t I seen? Killing is nothing to me. If you dare to tell your family about me, your family’s life will be in danger. Tell them to be careful when they walk at night in the future.”

The girl was young and felt uneasy at being threatened.

Seeing this, Huo Xiaoran suddenly ran over and punched the boy.

“I’ll hit you. Stab me if you have the ability.” Huo Xiaoran’s fist was fierce and heavy.

The corners of the boy’s mouth and nose bled. He hugged his head and glared at Huo Xiaoran. “Why are you so nosy? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take revenge on you?”

Huo Zhou smiled at the side. “Kid, do you know who he is? He’s the hero who killed the boss of the drug dealers alone. Aren’t you afraid that he will send you in too?”

When the boy heard this, he looked at Huo Xiaoran in fear before getting up and quickly slipping away.

Lu Xiaoyun looked at Huo Xiaoran gratefully. “Thank you, Big Brother.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “How did you provoke such a hooligan? You don’t look old. Shouldn’t you study hard?”

Huo Zhou frowned. “Hey, Xiaoran, why are you meddling in other people’s business today?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s not nosy.”

Huo Zhou was stunned.

He looked at Lu Xiaoyun suspiciously and cursed in his heart. Did Xiaoran want to enter the Lu family to see Old Master through Lu Xiaoyun?

However, with Huo Xiaoran’s straightforward personality, he should be ashamed to use such despicable methods.

Lu Xiaoyun looked at Huo Xiaoran, her eyes flickering with starlight. She was attracted by Huo Xiaoran’s handsomeness. Huo Xiaoran was too handsome.

Although she was very young and not suitable to be his girlfriend, she could introduce her sister to him.

“Big Brother, do you have a girlfriend?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her. “Not only do I have a wife, but I’m also the father of four children.”

Lu Xiaoyun was puzzled. How could such a young man have four children? He was clearly lying.

Huo Xiaoran said to Lu Xiaoyun, “Go home. Remember, don’t interact with that hooligan again. If he dares to harass you again, call your family.”

Lu Xiaoyun mustered her courage and said, “Then can I call you?”

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and gave her his phone number.

Lu Xiaoyun quickly took out her phone and recorded the number.

Then she left excitedly.

Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran with a puzzled expression. “Xiaoran, why are you so special to her? Don’t tell me you like her. That girl is quite beautiful.”

Huo Xiaoran glared at him. “I do like her, but not in that way. Let’s go home.”

Huo Zhou was struggling with all kinds of guesses.

Huo Xiaoran had always been very distant from girls. Why was he so abnormal this time?

After returning to Heavenly Imperial Garden, Qiao An made a sumptuous dinner to welcome them. Because Qiao An was pregnant, Sisi and Xiao Yue had been chatting with Qiao An recently.

This dinner was especially lively.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but Huo Xiaoran’s reaction today was very abnormal. He kept texting and even went out to answer a call.

Qiao An didn’t think much of it at first. She only thought that he had been busy with work recently and had more business calls. Unexpectedly, when her gaze accidentally bumped into Huo Zhou, she realized that his expression was a little strange.

There was a hint of sympathy.

That gaze made Qiao An understand the situation she was in. Her hand that was holding her chopsticks couldn’t help but tremble, and the color on her face instantly disappeared.

But she was also strong. In front of so many people, she suppressed the overwhelming anxiety in her heart.

When dinner ended, Huo Xiaoran took the initiative to mention washing the dishes. Qiao An didn’t stop him.

After Huo Xiaoran entered the kitchen, Qiao An called Huo Zhou aside and asked him with a dark expression, “Where did you and Xiaoran go today?”

Huo Zhou was very vexed. “Qiao An, you’re too smart. Perhaps it’s better to be confused.”

Qiao An glared into his eyes, watery.

Huo Zhou decided to go all out and told Qiao An about Huo Xiaoran and Lu Xiaoyun. “An’an, Xiaoran might not have those messy thoughts. You have to believe him. I’m just curious. He has never interacted with unfamiliar girls. This time, his excessive enthusiasm surprised me. That’s why my gaze betrayed him uncontrollably…”

Qiao An asked calmly, “Is that girl beautiful?”

Huo Zhou nodded. “Very beautiful.”

Qiao An immediately felt threatened by a girl that Huo Zhou praised so much.

However, in the face of the threat, she clearly realized that the wrong party was definitely not an outsider.

As Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran in the kitchen in a daze, her eyes filled with despair.

Xiao Yue and Sisi sensed that something was wrong with Qiao An. They looked at Huo Zhou fearfully, but Huo Zhou looked anxious. He looked like he was at a loss and blaming himself.

“What happened?” Sisi finally asked.

Huo Zhou said, “Sigh, this matter is very subtle.”

Xiao Yue hit the nail on the head. “Brother Xiaoran has been ignoring Sister An’an tonight and only cares about texting. I can tell at a glance that something’s wrong with this matter. Brother Zhouzhou, is Brother Xiaoran having an affair?”

Sisi’s mouth widened in shock.

Huo Zhou said, “We can’t be sure yet.”

After Huo Xiaoran finished washing the dishes, he came out and saw Qiao An sitting on the sofa, glaring at him with a sinister expression.

Huo Zhou, Sisi, and Xiao Yue looked at him fearfully.

Xiaoran smiled and said, “What’s wrong?”

Qiao An held out her hand. “Can I see your phone?”

Xiao Ran was slightly stunned and slowly handed the phone to Qiao An. “Why are you looking at my phone?”

Qiao An replied with two words. “Checkup.”

When Huo Xiaoran heard this, his handsome face immediately looked at Huo Zhou angrily.

“What did you say to Qiao An?”

Qiao An found the chat box between Huo Xiaoran and Lu Xiaoyun.

When she saw Lu Xiaoyun looking for comfort from him, Huo Xiaoran comforted her like a big brother. The frequency of their chat had not turned cold since they separated.

Qiao An was trembling with anger. Before Huo Xiaoran entered the situation room, she angrily stabbed threw phone to the ground.

The phone instantly shattered into a few large pieces.

Everyone in the room was shocked and speechless.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An in a daze. Qiao An roared, “Huo Xiaoran, see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau on Monday. Don’t appear in front of me during this period of time.” Then, she ran out under everyone’s shocked gazes.

“Qiao An.” Huo Xiaoran came back to his senses and chased after her with a pale face.
