Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

387 The Search List

When Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden, they saw a valiant woman standing at the door from afar.

It was Lu Qianqian.

Qiao An’s heart sank and she immediately felt uneasy. At this moment, Huo Xiaoran’s big hand suddenly reached out and wrapped around her small hand. Then, his warm voice sounded in her ear. “She’s here for the list. Just pretend to have amnesia. I’ll help you deal with her.”

Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran in a daze. At that moment, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

Huo Xiaoran was clearly the person who needed her protection. After all, he had symptoms of mental anxiety and depression. His tolerance for certain things was very weak.

But now, he was like an indomitable man, fearlessly standing in front of her to protect her.

Huo Xiaoran saw the pity in Qiao An’s eyes and suddenly smiled. “My weakness is only in front of you and my mommy. Nothing else can defeat me.”

Qiao An grinned. “Yeah.”

The two of them held hands and arrived at the door of the house.

When Lu Qianqian saw Qiao An, she took the initiative to greet her. “An’an, I want to talk to you alone.”

It did not come with good intentions. In order to prevent Huo Xiaoran from ruining her plan, Lu Qianqian actually wanted to break them up.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Sorry, An’an isn’t free now.”

Lu Qianqian said, “Xiaoran, I’m carrying out official business.”

Huo Xiaoran pursed his lips and said reluctantly, “Come in and talk.”

Lu Qianqian followed behind them into the front courtyard.

Huo Xiaoran pulled them to the pavilion in the courtyard and said gently to Qiao An, “The weather is good today. You guys chat in the pavilion and bask in the sun.”

Lu Qianqian wanted to enter the room to search the list, but Huo Xiaoran placed her in the courtyard. It was obvious that he wanted to stop her from entering the house. She did not want to have a conflict with Huo Xiaoran so early, so she simply accepted Huo Xiaoran’s arrangements.

After Huo Xiaoran entered the house, only Lu Qianqian and Qiao An were left in the pavilion.

“Xiaoran seems to be very good to you?” Lu Qianqian was very jealous. “He’s so good to you, but you still betrayed him. You and Xiao Ming seem to be involved.”

Qiao An understood and said, “Brother Xiaoran and I weren’t so close from the beginning. I hated him a few years ago.”

“Oh? How much do you hate him?”

“We didn’t see eye to eye.”

“It was also at that time that you met Xiao Ming?”

Qiao An looked resistant. “Sister Qianqian, I didn’t know that Brother Xiao Ming was already engaged to you at that time. He approached me. I was in an emotional void at that time, so I accepted his kindness naturally.”

Her face darkened.

Lu Qianqian pondered the truth in Qiao An’s words.

“Sister Qianqian, don’t worry. Now that the misunderstanding between Brother Xiaoran and me has been resolved, I realize that the person I really love is still Brother Xiaoran. I’ll end it with Brother Xiao Ming and return him to you intact.”

Lu Qianqian said, “Qiao An, you’re lying. You like Huo Xiaoran and can’t accept other men at all. You and Xiao Ming have a deep relationship, but you’re definitely not a couple.”

Qiao An’s heart trembled.

Lu Qianqian said aggressively, “You and Xiao Ming are partners at most. Qiao An, Xiao Ming has already confessed. He gave you a list. Now, I hope you can hand it over.”

Qiao An didn’t believe her.

She pretended to be surprised. “A list? What list?”

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran came over with a fruit platter.

Lu Qianqian looked at Huo Xiaoran. Huo Xiaoran was handsome, flawless, elegant, and noble. The hormonal aura around him was enough to move any woman.

Lu Qianqian was even more certain of her guess. “Qiao An, you have an outstanding man like Huo Xiaoran. You definitely won’t have a good impression of Xiao Ming. It’s obvious that Xiao Ming tried his best to please you.”

Qiao An was stunned…

Her thoughts stalled.

Xiao Ming had been kind to her. He’d given her warmth when she was desperate. He’d pulled her out of a black hell.

“Qiao An, how did he please you?”

“It’s inevitable that he gave me a lot of gifts.”

“Gifts?” Lu Qianqian exclaimed.

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

Did Lu Qianqian think that the list was among the gifts?

Hehe, something so important.

Sister Qianqian had swallowed it into her stomach before bringing it out.

Lu Qianqian became excited. “What gifts?”

“Jewelry, books, that sort of thing.”

“I want to see them. Can I?” Lu Qianqian said excitedly.

Qiao An said, “Wait a moment.”

Qiao An turned to leave.

When she passed by Huo Xiaoran, he even fed her an apple.

Their relationship was so good that it made people jealous.

After Qiao An left, Huo Xiaoran entered the pavilion.

Lu Qianqian had an ulterior motive. “Xiaoran, Qiao An and Xiao Ming have a good relationship. Aren’t you jealous at all?”

Huo Xiaoran’s face darkened. “An’an and I have experienced so many misunderstandings. It wasn’t easy for us to get together after being separated for so long. Sister Qianqian, don’t mention Xiao Ming’s name. I don’t want to hear anyone mention Xiao Ming’s name in front of An’an in the future.”

It smelled of vinegar.

Lu Qianqian was a little embarrassed. “Running away won’t solve the problem.” She put on the posture of a victim. “Although I don’t want to face Xiao Ming’s past with other women’s, I don’t want to live a muddle-headed life.”

Huo Xiaoran said angrily, “I think you’re asking for trouble.”

Lu Qianqian was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Ever since she pretended to be Lu Qianqian, everyone around her had high respect for her. For the past few days, she had enjoyed the highest treatment in the Lu family and the Xiao family.

And Huo Xiaoran gave her the only sense of defeat.

Not long after, Qiao An arrived.

She was hugging a cardboard box. It looked like there were a lot of gifts inside.

Lu Qianqian’s eyes bloomed with joy.

Qiao An placed the cardboard box on the table and Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded when he saw that it was filled with the gifts he had bought for her.

Just as he was about to reprimand Qiao An, Qiao An patted the cardboard box and said, “Sister Qianqian, the gifts from Brother Xiao Ming are all here.”

Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.

Lu Qianqian was indeed trying her best to find the list from Qiao An? She didn’t even let go of the “gifts” Xiao Ming supposedly gave Qiao An?

Lu Qianqian glanced at Qiao An, and Qiao An said sarcastically, “Brother Xiaoran, these worthless things take up a lot of space. Why don’t we give them to Sister Qianqian?”

Xiao Ran was a little reluctant. After all, these gifts were given to her by him. Although they were the most meaningless gifts, he was still reluctant.

Lu Qianqian was overjoyed. “Then I’ll accept it.”

After achieving her goal, Lu Qianqian bade Qiao An farewell and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”
