Li Xiaoran mocked, “Li Zecheng, you still know that Qiao An is pregnant and can’t tire herself out. Then why are you calling so late to harass her? She’s already asleep. If you want to contact her, you have to be early tomorrow.”

Li Zecheng was afraid that Qiao An and Li Xiaoran would rekindle their relationship. If that happened, the ownership of the child in Qiao An’s stomach would become complicated. He shouted excitedly, “Li Xiaoran, it’s so late. Why are you still with Qiao An?”

“Guess?”

“Li Xiaoran, if you dare to touch her, I won’t let you off.”

“Nephew, you don’t have a good memory. Did you enter menopause early? Have you forgotten that after Qiao An fell off the building, I was her chief surgeon? I’ve already touched her.”

Li Zecheng was furious. “That’s different. Tonight, you two are alone. Who knows what will happen?”

Li Xiaoran glanced at Father Qiao’s room and reprimanded in a low voice, “Li Zecheng, you’re measuring the heart of a gentleman with your petty heart. Father Qiao is in my house. Even if I have some thoughts about Qiao An, I don’t dare to be rash in front of Uncle.”

Li Zecheng said, “Who knows if you guys will take advantage of her father’s sleep…”

Li Xiaoran was furious.

“I will.”

Li Xiaoran was furious and hung up on Li Zecheng.

Not long after, Li Xiaoran’s doorbell rang.

Li Xiaoran stood up and opened the door.

Li Zecheng barged in and saw Li Xiaoran wearing a robe and pajamas. His slightly messy hair accentuated his laziness and nobility.

Not to mention women, even Li Zecheng, who was also a handsome man, felt inexplicably jealous.

Then, Li Zecheng saw Qiao An curled up on the sofa. Li Xiaoran covered her with a blanket very considerately. Beside the sofa was a pair of grass-green Peppa Pig slippers.

Li Zecheng instantly understood Li Xiaoran’s feelings for Qiao An. He complained gloomily, “Uncle, why is there a woman in your house?”

Li Xiaoran looked as if he had been caught red-handed when catching a thief. It was just that his mental fortitude was so strong that he was invincible. He looked open and said, “Didn’t you say that my lifestyle was rotten? I often bring women home to spend the night. It’s normal to have women’s supplies at home.”

Li Zecheng was speechless.

If there was anything about Li Xiaoran that made him admire him, it was definitely his blessed mouth. Only with sophistry could he be completely unstoppable.

He was clearly the one in the wrong, but he could still twist the truth and beat you up.

Li Zecheng walked up to Qiao An and said in a rare gentle tone, “An An, I’m here to take you home.”

Li Xiaoran glanced at the clock on the wall and Qiao An, who was curled up on the sofa. She was clearly sleepy but forced her eyes open.

Li Xiaoran said angrily, “Li Zecheng, if you want to be a nocturnal animal, don’t drag us along with you. It’s already so late. Qiao An and I should sleep.”

Li Zecheng said reluctantly, “An An, look at how simple and crude Uncle’s place is. What if you catch a cold sleeping on this sofa? Come home with me. I’ll take good care of you.”

Li Xiaoran frowned and glanced at the home he had personally decorated. Although the lines were simple and clear, the house was well-equipped. There were even green plants that Qiao An liked on the balcony. In what way was it crude?

“Li Zecheng, is your house inlaid with gold? How can you tell that my house is crude?”

Li Zecheng looked at his uncle speechlessly. “You’re really a talker. You don’t admit defeat at all.”

Li Xiaoran said, “I’m afraid that your cultural level is low and your expression is lacking, misleading Qiao An’s understanding of my house. Let me tell you, my house’s decor is simple, not crude. With what little education you have, please brush up on your vocabulary.”

Li Zecheng was speechless.

“I’m a graduate at a key university…”

“You bought it,” Li Xiaoran said bluntly. “If your grandfather hadn’t donated to the school, the school would not have lowered their criteria and accepted you.”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened.

Qiao An sat up lazily, her cold eyes locked on Li Zecheng’s face. “Li Zecheng, I will go back. But not now.”

Li Xiaoran said, “Did you hear Qiao An? She wants you to go back. She’ll go back when she wants to.”

Li Zecheng glared at him. “I have to take my wife away today. I’m worried about leaving her with you.”

Li Xiaoran glanced back at the bedroom door and shouted, “Uncle…”

Li Zecheng’s expression changed drastically as he fled in panic.

“An An, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

I’ll have to find more people tomorrow, he thought.

Li Xiaoran actually verbalized what he was thinking. “Tomorrow. You don’t have to bring bodyguards.”

Li Zecheng left dejectedly. Li Xiaoran sat beside Qiao An and asked her, “Are you really going back?”

The frost in Qiao An’s eyes was like ice.

Li Zecheng and Wei Xin had caused the death of her beloved mother. This hatred had never subsided.

Qiao An had to return to Li Zecheng’s side. She had to turn Li Zecheng and Wei Xin into ashes.

Qiao An nodded.

Li Xiaoran was a little surprised by her choice. After the surprise, he was very angry at her stupid decision.

He suddenly grabbed Qiao An’s hand excitedly and tried his best to comfort her. “An An, listen to me. You and Li Zecheng have had too much unhappiness. No matter how good your relationship is, it has already deteriorated. He cheated on you and betrayed you, forcing you to jump off a building in despair. Now that you have added to your life, are you sure you can forget the huge harm he brought you and live with him until you’re old?”

Qiao An didn’t want to grow old with Li Zecheng. She only wanted to die with him.

“Doctor Li, I think there’s no reason for me to let go halfway. I’ll hold his hand and accompany him to the day of death.”

Even someone as smart as Li Xiaoran did not realize the coldness in Qiao An’s words.

He let go of her hand weakly and looked defeated. “Do you love him that much?”

Qiao An said nothing.

She knew very well that she did not love Li Zecheng.

She didn’t love him from the beginning to the end. The person she loved was the gentleman in front of her.

Ever since the day she married Li Zecheng, she had felt awkward because Li Zecheng did not look like Thunderbolt Blade. Now, she knew that she had loved an imposter.

Li Xiaoran was very vexed and dispirited. He begged, “An An, divorce him. I’ll take you away from this troublesome place, okay?”
