Qiao An immediately fell silent.

Xiao Yue answered the call and heard Xiao Ran’s cold voice. “Where are you?”

Qiao An was a little surprised to hear Huo Xiaoran’s cold voice, because Huo Xiaoran had never been so cold and distant in front of her.

Xiao Yue seemed to see Qiao An’s confusion and explained to her in a low voice, “Cousin has always been this cold.”

Qiao An’s eyes were filled with surprise.

“Xiao Yue, who are you talking to?” Huo Xiaoran’s voice became sharper.

Xiao Yue joked with Xiao Ran casually, “Cousin, did the sun rise from the west today? You finally took the initiative to call me. Tell me, why are you looking for me?”

“Yueyue, Qiao An has been in a little trouble recently. Can you put down your work and accompany Qiao An for a few days? But you have to be careful,” Huo Xiaoran said honestly. “Don’t worry, Cousin will pay you handsomely.”

“How much?” Xiao Yue’s eyes turned red.

“Name your price.”

Xiao Yue was stunned. Without thinking, she agreed. “Deal.”

Xiao Ran reminded Xiao Yue, “Don’t tell your Sister Qiao An about this. She doesn’t like me to control her.”

Xiao Yue looked at Qiao An and smiled meaningfully. “Cousin, don’t worry. I definitely won’t tell Sister Qiao An a word.”

Huo Xiaoran’s concern touched Qiao An, but how could Qiao An bear to see Huo Xiaoran spend so much money on her?

She reached out to Xiao Yue, who reluctantly handed the phone to Qiao An.

Qiao An picked up her phone and placed it to her ear, but she heard Huo Xiaoran instruct Xiao Yue, “Yueyue, I want you to not leave Qiao An for 24 hours. If you encounter an emergency, call me immediately.”

“Brother Xiaoran!” Qiao An choked.

On the other end, Huo Xiaoran was stunned when he heard Qiao An’s voice.

“An’an. Why are you here?”

Qiao An explained, “Yueyue’s at my house.”

Huo Xiaoran’s unilateral concern for Qiao An made her seem a little humble. However, Qiao An’s sudden humility made him panic.

He was afraid that Qiao An would laugh at his wishful thinking, as she had done in the past. He was even more afraid that she would throw a tantrum at this emergency and refuse his help.

“An’an, you can reject me in regard anything else. But this matter involves your safety. Don’t lose your temper with me, okay?” His voice filtered out all the coldness and sharpness. It was as gentle as water and refreshing.

“Okay,” Qiao An said obediently.

But her eyes were inexplicably red.

She was really too insensible in the past. She wondered how much Brother Xiaoran had worried about her.

Huo Xiaoran was a little surprised. Qiao An’s obedience made him feel like an old father.

“Good girl,” he said with relief.

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes. “Cousin, your double standard is too obvious. When you talk to us, it’s as if we dug up your ancestral grave in our previous life. When you talk to Sister Qiao An, it’s as if you dug up her ancestral grave in your previous life. The difference in attitudes is too different.”

Huo Xiaoran covered Xiao Yue’s mouth. “Your cousin, Zhou Zhou, insisted on having a social gathering with my Angel Group. If you don’t want Qiao He to be interrogated by the elders of the Huo Group that day, shut up.”

As expected, Xiao Yue compromised and no longer dared to mock Huo Xiaoran. She instantly submitted. “Cousin, can I bring Sister Qiao An to the company’s annual meeting?”

Huo Xiaoran hesitated for a moment. “Is she willing to come?”

“I am,” Qiao An’s clear, sweet voice said.

Huo Xiaoran’s heart instantly overflowed with joy. “Yes, you’re welcome.”

Because Qiao An was attending the company’s annual meeting, Huo Xiaoran showed concern for the first time.

That evening, he found Huo Zhou and planned the contents of the annual meeting with him.

Huo Zhou was very surprised. “Xiaoran, you used to be cold and never wanted to participate in group activities. Why are you so concerned about this annual meeting?”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “Qiao An is coming.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

“Qiao An has always been against being in the same place as you, but this time she took the initiative to attend your annual meeting. I keep feeling that there’s something mysterious about this.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Speaking of which, she was originally a sunny girl who likes to join in the fun. It’s just that all these years, she’s always met with bad people and lived too hard. As a result, she’s become more and more taciturn and reserved.”

Huo Zhou saw the unconcealable joy in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes and already had an idea.

“Xiaoran, it’s rare for me to see you so happy. I’ll do as you wish for this annual meeting. I’ll hold an unprecedentedly grand masquerade for you and Qiao An.”

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment. “A ball?”

It was also great to be able to sing and laugh with Qiao An.

“I’ll leave it to you.”

2021 was coming to an end. Every New Year in the past, Qiao An had no expectations or yearnings . In any case, the days would always be flat. There were no surprises.

But this year was different. Qiao An’s state of mind was renewed. So she decided to make it a big deal.

She went to the mall to buy clothes. In the past, she had always liked to buy some black and gray clothes. The sizes were also relatively large. They wrapped around her exquisite body and made her porcelain skin look pale. It did not make her look lively.

It was as if her aura was extremely oppressive.

But now she wanted a change. She wanted to be the vibrant Jo Ann she’d once been.

Xiao Yue suggested to her, “Sister, you have the face of an angel and the figure of a devil. You should fully display your strengths. If I were you, I would wear as little as possible and expose as much as possible.”

Qiao An teased, “So you can feast your eyes?”

Xiao Yue laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back. “Look at your mouth. As expected of a great author.”

Of course, Qiao An didn’t choose the route Xiao Yue had planned for her. In her words, “Everyone should be themselves. I’m fine as long as I can be myself.”

Then she bought a lot of classy clothes.

However, when Xiao Yue saw her standing in front of her in a white suspender dress, she was stunned.

“Jesus, Jo Ann, you don’t even look like you’ve had a baby.”

Qiao An had snowy skin, and her expression had a hint of innocence. She looked pure and flawless.

“If my cousin saw you now, he’d be dazzled.”

Qiao An was overjoyed.

Generously buying all the selected clothes.

Of course, mothers were generous to themselves and even more generous to their children.

When Qiao An and Xiao Yue shopped at the children’s mall, they practically massacred the mall. In the end, the two of them bought a mountain of items and couldn’t move them.

Then two beautiful women stood in the wind, staring at each other.

“What should we do? Should we call my cousin, Xiaoran? Let him come over and help?” Xiao Yue suggested.
