Huo Zhou slapped the back of her head. “Are you closer Qiao An or us? How can you side with outsiders?”

Xiao Yue covered her head and glared at him. “You’re my cousins, but Sister Qiao An is my sister-in-law. You’re just as close.”

Huo Xiaoran took out a card from his wallet and played the role of a businessman. “Let’s make a deal and sell me the secrets you know about Qiao An? You can quote any price you want?”

Xiao Yue’s eyes immediately lit up with greed.

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou looked at her smugly. In their eyes, there was probably nothing that money couldn’t do.

However, the light in Xiao Yue’s eyes quickly dimmed.

“No, no, Sister Qiao An told me the secret because she trusted me. I can’t betray her trust.”

Huo Zhou couldn’t help but raise his fist to beat Xiao Yue up.

Huo Xiaoran pressed his hand down and raised the price. “A secret for 100 million? How about that?”

Xiao Yue remained unmoved.

Huo Xiaoran added, “And I’ll persuade your father to accept Qiao He.”

Xiao Yue was instantly tempted.

Her parents were quite against it because of what had happened between her and Qiao He. The objection was also odd. They didn’t like the idea of an actor as a son-in-law.

Regarding this matter, Mr. Xiao even said, “If you dare to marry him, I won’t acknowledge you as my daughter.”

Xiao Yue had a headache because of this.

If Huo Xiaoran was willing to convince her father, her only worry would be gone.

Except…

Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Ran doubtfully. “But Cousin, how can you convince my stubborn old man? Why don’t I share Sister Qiao An’s secret with you after you convince my father?”

It sounded like she was deliberately stalling.

Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened.

“Are you refusing to tell me anything?”

Xiao Yue looked troubled. “Cousin, the conditions you gave me are indeed too tempting. But I can’t betray Sister Qiao An. Why don’t I call Sister Qiao An and ask for her opinion?”

Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded. Was there such a thing?

If Qiao An was willing to share her secrets with him, he wouldn’t have to ask Xiao Yue for help. The little fool.

However, Xiao Yue really took out her phone and quickly called Qiao An.

The call was answered quickly. Xiao Yue immediately complained to Qiao An. “Sister, I’m sorry. I betrayed you.”

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran’s expressions immediately darkened. Xiao Yue’s mouth was so loose that she betrayed them so quickly. But the infuriating thing was that she’d kept her mouth shut about Qiao An.

Qiao An’s concerned voice came from the phone. It was like the tinkle of spring water, with healing warmth.

“Yueyue, what happened? Tell me slowly.”

“Last night, the two demon lords tricked me and fed me a lot of red wine mixed with high-purity liquor. After getting me drunk, they forced me to answer a lot of questions about you. I don’t know what secrets I told. Boohoo, Sister, I’m sorry. I went back on my word and didn’t keep my promise.”

On the other end, Qiao An was deep in thought.

Huo Xiaoran became inexplicably nervous.

His relationship with Qiao An had finally eased a little. After Xiao Yue’s complaint, he was afraid that Qiao An would ignore him again.

Huo Zhou was so anxious that he wanted to punch Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue continued, “Sister, they even used torture on me… ”

“What?” Qiao An was furious.

“What torture did they use?”

Xiao Yue cried, “They tempted me with a lot of money! They clearly know that I’m the least resistant to money. Boohoo.”

Qiao An was speechless.

Her deep eyes flickered with wisdom. She wondered if she could fish out his money since Huo Xiaoran was so generous. When he was poor, would Lu Mo still be willing to marry him?

“Yueyue…”

After a long silence, Qiao An called out suddenly.

Huo Xiaoran stared intently at Xiao Yue’s phone.

He wondered how Qiao An would react.

“Sister Qiao An,” Yueyue echoed. “Secrets. Can you sell them? Maybe sell them one or two pieces of unimportant information?”

Huo Zhou’s face darkened. Xiao Yue was a traitor.

Qiao An smiled leisurely. “How much do you think my secrets will fetch?”

Xiao Yue raised her head and calculated seriously.

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou were petrified. These two women actually tried to scheme against them in their faces.

“Sister, I’m stupid. Why don’t you negotiate with him yourself?” Xiao Yue had a flash of inspiration.

Qiao An said, “Okay.”

Xiao Yue handed the phone to Huo Xiaoran, who was still a little stunned. He took the phone with an incredulous expression. “An’an, are you really willing to share all your past with me?”

Qiao Anhui smiled slyly. “Not share. Trade.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “Tell me, what do you want?”

“I want four houses, all to be in the same neighborhood.”

She was making plans for the children and for him.

One day in the future, when the children were older and had a family, they would need to set up another household. Only by living next to him could she make him happy and allow him live out his old age blissfully. That was her sunset gift to him.

“Are you satisfied with the houses in the Heavenly Imperial Garden?” Huo Xiaoran asked.

“Okay,” Qiao An said readily.

Huo Zhou’s mouth fell open in shock. A property in the Heavenly Imperial Garden was worth more than a billion yuan. Qiao An was really asking for too much.

When Huo Zhou rolled his eyes, Xiao Yue glared at him and reprimanded him softly, “You don’t know anything.”

Her eyes were filled with disdain.

Huo Zhou was furious. “You colluded with your in-laws to cheat Xiaoran of his assets. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Xiao Yue said, “It doesn’t hurt. Qiao An wants four houses, no more and no less. Just four. It means that she’s neither greedy nor a pushover.”

Huo Zhou was puzzled. “Nonsense.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and continued to ask Qiao An, “Anything else?”

Qiao An drawled, “I have a lot of secrets. Prices vary. That depends on how much you’re willing to pay.”

Huo Zhou roared angrily, “Aren’t four villas from the Heavenly Imperial Garden enough to buy your secrets?”

Qiao An paused, then said, “Not enough.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

Qiao An said, “Brother Xiaoran, haven’t you always been curious as to why I married Li Zecheng back then?”

Halfway through, she was overcome with grief, her voice breaking.

Those unbearable memories made her ache to the bone.

“An’an. I want to know.”

Qiao An said, “You… better ask him.” She was too sorrowful to speak.

Huo Xiaoran felt uneasy. He could feel that this secret had dealt Qiao An a devastating blow.

It kept Qiao An from touching it.
