Chapter 159 - Acting

Mrs. Lu interrupted from the side, “Xiaoran, my Momo has forced herself to be obedient for you. She loves you so much, so don’t let my Momo down.”

Li Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo, who was hanging on him like a mollusk. In fact, deep down, he hated such obedient girls. He thought of Qiao An. Every time he was sick, she would order him to sleep on time like a housekeeper. She would add clothes in the morning and night, eat on time, and not eat spicy food… However, he enjoyed life with her remotely.

Mrs. Lu took advantage of the situation. “Xiaoran, you and Momo are not young anymore. Why don’t I choose a good day to set your wedding date?”

Li Xiaoran was slightly stunned. Every cell in his body was trying to resist. Lu Mo looked at Li Xiaoran expectantly and gently shook his arm. “Senior.”

Li Xiaoran closed his eyes and wondered for the last time if there was still a possibility of him and Qiao An getting back together.

“Auntie, I don’t think I’m ready.”

Mrs. Lu’s eyes were filled with displeasure. Lu Mo quickly tried to smooth things over for Li Xiaoran. “Mom, Senior just changed jobs. He’s in the midst of his career advancement. Let’s not pressure him.”

Mrs. Lu said sternly, “Xiaoran, this matter can’t be delayed for too long. If you can wait, my Momo can’t.”

Li Xiaoran looked at Momo gratefully. “Momo, I won’t make you wait too long.”

After leaving the Lu family villa, Li Xiaoran drove to Loco’s rented apartment.

When he realized that he was monitoring his ex-girlfriend, Li Xiaoran was shocked by his shamelessness. He turned the car around and was about to leave when he saw two figures walking over from the opposite side.

It was Qiao An and her new boyfriend.

Li Xiaoran suddenly braked. The luxurious Royce was too eye-catching. Qiao An looked up and saw Li Xiaoran’s car.

At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly held Qiao He’s arm and instructed him in a panic, “Qiao He, kiss me.”

Qiao He was dumbfounded and smiled slyly. “Sister, you asked for this yourself. I’ll give you a French kiss. I guarantee that you’ll never forget it.”

Qiao He pressed Qiao An against the marble courtyard wall and kissed her lips without hesitation.

Qiao An saw Qiao He’s lecherous face and was about to raise her leg to cut his third leg when she realized that the kiss that disgusted her didn’t come for a long time.

It turned out that Qiao He had cleverly sealed her lips with his fingers, while he deliberately pretended to be intoxicated as he kissed his fingers.

“Disgusting,” Qian An whispered.

Qiao He said in a low voice, “Isn’t it to cooperate with you? Do you think I want to kiss you? No matter how beautiful you are, you’re not my style. Don’t forget, I like men.”

“Don’t you dare…” Qiao An scolded.

If Qiao He was bent, Qiao An couldn’t imagine how sad her uncle would be. She was the eldest sister of the Qiao family and had an obligation to take good care of every brother and sister.

Qiao He grinned and said, “Why don’t you let me have a taste of women? What if you straighten me out?”

Qiao An glared at him angrily. “Watch your mouth. If you touch something you shouldn’t, do you believe that I’ll tie it into a sausage?”

Qiao He scolded, “You’re so fierce. No wonder Doctor Li doesn’t like you.”

When Qiao An heard Doctor Li, she immediately glanced at Li Xiaoran in panic.

In the end, she realized that Li Xiaoran’s Rolls-Royce was slowly gliding towards her.

Finally he stopped in front of her.

Qiao An was afraid that he would see her slightly bulging stomach. Although she was wearing a casual and loose version of clothes, without the restraints of bandages, she still smelled a little pregnant.

Qiao An cleverly carried her into the Qiao River and hid her stomach in its big trench coat. Then he turned his head to look at the Rolls-Royce.

The window of the Rolls-Royce rolled down and Li Xiaoran stared at the two of them.

Li Zecheng said that Qiao An had found a partner on the day of the divorce and registered their marriage that day. He didn’t believe it at first, but he didn’t expect their relationship to be so good.

Li Xiaoran really couldn’t show his gentlemanly side to Qiao He. He said coldly, “Sorry, I’m taking Qiao An away for a while. I have something to say to her alone.”

Qiao He’s gaze shifted to Qiao An’s face. “Are you going?”

Qiao An glared at him…

Qiao He realized that he was supposed to play the role of Qiao An’s husband now, yet he seemed very timid to give his woman to another man.

Hence, Qiao He put on a domineering and said, “If you have something to say, say it here. My wife and I are no different.”

Li Xiaoran’s expression darkened.

“Qiao An, I want to talk to you about your resignation.”

Qiao He rejected on behalf of Qiao An. “I can afford to raise my baby. I don’t need her to go out and show her face. She doesn’t want that job.”

Li Xiaoran said coldly, “Do you think this is a feudal society where women can’t show their faces?”

Qiao He said, “I can’t bear to see my wife suffer.”

With Qiao He protecting Qiao An like this, Li Xiaoran should have generously blessed Qiao An and found her true love. However, he just couldn’t be magnanimous. In the end, he even schemed.

“Have you read the contract for the Hai Yue Corporation?” He looked at Qiao An coldly.

Qiao An was dumbfounded. When she was looking for a job that day, she only thought that Hai Yue was a writer’s paradise. She felt extremely lucky to be able to enter the company. Therefore, she was extremely careless with the contract.

“New employees who enter Hai Yue cannot take the initiative to leave within a year. Otherwise, they will have to compensate a high breach of contract fee,” Li Xiaoran said.

Qiao An was dumbfounded again.

At this moment, she thought of the breakup fee Li Xiaoran had given her and was worried that she had nowhere to spend it. Qiao An said, “I’ll pay.”

Li Xiaoran was a little surprised. A thrifty person like her would rather lose money than come back to work?

“Why did you resign? Haven’t you always wanted to work at Hai Yue Corporation?” Li Xiaoran asked.

Qiao An told the truth. “I’m leaving the capital soon, so I have to give up this job.”

Li Xiaoran seemed to have heard bad news and could not recover for a long time.

“Where are you going?” he blurted.

Qiao An was troubled. Should she tell him that she was preparing to go to Malta?

Qiao He could tell that Qiao An was in a difficult position. He shouted at Li Xiaoran, “What do you care where my wife goes?”

Li Xiaoran glanced at the silent Qiao An and forced himself to suppress the collapsed emotions in his heart. Then, he turned around and returned to the car, driving away without a word.

Li Xiaoran was very sad. In Qiao An’s plan, she had probably never included him in her life plan, but he was always planning for her.
