Just as Huo Xiaoran picked up Xiao Yue’s call, he heard Xiao Yue’s anxious voice. “Cousin, Qiao An… Qiao An has disappeared.”
Huo Xiaoran’s face immediately turned pale, and fear and worry overflowed from his eyes. “When did this happen?”
Yue Yue was so excited that she spoke incoherently. “After the party last night, Qiao He and I went out on a date. Sister Qiao An went home alone. This morning, I came to Huaman City and knocked for a long time, but Sister Qiao An didn’t answer the door. I called her, but no one answered.”
Huo Xiaoran’s heart immediately tensed up. He instructed anxiously, “Contact Qiao He immediately and ask him about Qiao An’s location.”
Xiao Yue said, “Okay.”
Soon, Qiao He shared Qiao An’s location in the group.
Huo Xiaoran followed the GPS and rushed to Huaman City.
At this moment, Qiao He was sweating as he knocked against the door. Huo Xiaoran ran over.
“You can’t break open this security door.” Huo Xiaoran looked at his neighbor’s door and had an idea. He knocked on his neighbor’s door.
“Can I borrow a wrench?”
The neighbor stared at him in amazement, probably thinking of him as a thug who wanted to break in.
Huo Xiaoran could only explain patiently, “My sister was locked in.”
After receiving the wrench, Huo Xiaoran used it to hack at the security door.
Every time he knocked, Qiao He trembled. He reminded Huo Xiaoran worriedly, “Cousin, if you break my sister’s anti-theft lock, she will settle scores with you.”
Huo Xiaoran said disapprovingly, “What can a girl like her do to me?”
“My sister’s the most ferocious woman I’ve ever seen. Although her fists aren’t good, she has a mouth that has been consecrated in temples. If she wants to scold someone, she can scold you until you want to crawl into a snail’s shell and never come out.” Qiao He’s heart palpitated.
Huo Xiaoran said, “As long as I can ensure her safety, I don’t care if she scolds me.”
Qiao He smacked his lips. “You’re quite tolerant of my sister. I just don’t understand why my sister didn’t marry you back then.”
Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face froze when he heard that. At this point, he managed to open the door.
Huo Xiaoran staggered in. “Qiao An.” He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Then, he started searching every room anxiously. When he approached the children’s room’s, Qiao He immediately rushed to him and said, “Hey, hey, hey, I’m familiar with this room. I’ll search it.”
When Huo Xiaoran reached the study, he tried the same trick.
“Cousin, I’ll check the study. You check the rest.”
Huo Xiaoran finally noticed Qiao He’s abnormality. “What secrets are there in the house?”
Qiao He said, “No secrets. Just some human portraits of my sister. The kind that make you imagine things.”

In fact, the portrait in the study was a painting Qiao An had made for Huo Xiaoran. In addition, there was a family portrait of Qiao An.

Qiao He was worried that Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An would not get together. If he accidentally revealed he children’s identities, Huo Xiaoran might have have a child custody battle with Qiao An, who would not have the resources to fight Huo Xiaoran.
Huo Xiaoran mistakenly thought that it was Qiao An’s portrait. He questioned Qiao He with a dark expression, “Since it’s such a private portrait, how would you know?”
Qiao He said matter-of-factly, “Because I’ve seen it.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao He with disdain. “You shouldn’t step into a girl’s room and infringe her privacy.”
Qiao He muttered under his breath. “Those are private when it comes not you, but not me.”
Huo Xiaoran was a gentleman. He actually gave up searching the study and turned to enter the master bedroom next door.
Then, glancing at Qiao An on the bed.
Half of the blanket had fallen to the floor. Half was over her chest. The area under her knees was not covered revealing her long, white legs.
“Qiao An.”
Huo Xiaoran immediately pounced over, only to see Qiao An’s face burning red. He reached out and touched her forehead. It was frighteningly hot.
He pulled back the bedding and lowered Qiao An’s skirt to cover her legs. He quickly picked her up and rushed outside.
Qiao He and Xiao Yue hurriedly followed behind Huo Xiaoran and arrived at Jinghang Hospital.
Huo Xiaoran used his huge network of connections in Jinghang Hospital to quickly get Qiao An hospitalized.
The doctor quickly drew her blood for examination.
The final conclusion was: “Blood tests showed high white blood cells and a mild lung infection.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An’s haggard and thin face and held her hand with heartache. He recalled that when Qiao An danced with him last night, her body was as soft and light as a swallow, lively and lively. However, he did not expect that she would contract pneumonia after just one night.
How weak was her immune system?
Qiao An was hospitalized at Jinghang Hospital, and Huo Xiaoran accompanied her the entire time. This matter was conveyed to Lu Mo by a nosey parker.
Lu Mo was so angry that she overturned a teacup on the ground.
“Senior didn’t even take such good care of me when I was sick. Why did he serve Qiao An so well when she was sick?”
Mrs. Lu comforted her. “Momo, this is a good thing. Think about it. If Qiao An doesn’t move in, how can we have a chance to deal with her?”
Lu Mo understood and her eyes emitted a ruthless cold light. “Mom, you can’t fail this time.”
Mrs. Lu said, “Don’t worry.”
In order to show their poise, Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo went to Qiao An’s ward to visit her.
Fortunately, Qiao An was young. After the fever medicine was taken, she quickly broke out in a sweat. The temperature dropped and she slowly woke up.
However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo. Qiao An was shocked. Before her soul returned to her body, she sat up reflexively.
“Where am I?”
“Sister, this is Jinghang Hospital.” Mother Lu and her daughter exchanged malicious looks.
Qiao An immediately shouted, “I want to be discharged.”
Mrs. Lu quickly went forward to dissuade her. “Qiao An, your pneumonia needs to be treated with standard anti-inflammatory treatment. If it’s not treated in time, the condition will develop quickly. Don’t worry, you were sent here by Xiaoran. Our Jinghang Hospital definitely won’t dare to disrespect you.”
Qiao An frowned at her. “Are you a respiratory doctor?”
Mrs. Lu did not understand Qiao An’s intentions and said bluntly, “No, I’m a doctor in the hematology department.”
Qiao An smiled. “It seems that Auntie Lu is indeed very concerned about my condition. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have specially gone to understand my condition.”
Mrs. Lu’s eyes flashed with guilt.
Just as Huo Xiaoran picked up Xiao Yue’s call, he heard Xiao Yue’s anxious voice. “Cousin, Qiao An… Qiao An has disappeared.”
Huo Xiaoran’s face immediately turned pale, and fear and worry overflowed from his eyes. “When did this happen?”
