Huo Xiaoran pondered for a moment and said, “Her condition is a little complicated. Her clinical symptoms are very serious, but the data on the report shows that her condition is still in the early stages.”

Qiao An had reached a conclusion.

Lu Mo was most likely pretending to be sick. Next, she wanted to get evidence of Lu Mo pretending to be sick.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An solemnly and warned, “The Lu family’s driver has caused you so much trouble. Stay away from the Lu family in the future. You don’t have to worry about Lu Mo.”

Warmth flooded Qiao An’s heart. Huo Xiaoran was concerned about her safety.

Qiao An was in a good mood and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. However, she still wanted to get close to Lu Mo and get evidence of her lying to Huo Xiaoran. Therefore, she said to Huo Xiaoran in embarrassment, “Brother Xiaoran, Dr. Lu saved my life back then and is my savior. She’s sick now, so of course I have to care about her.”

Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “I’m also your savior. I don’t see you caring about me?”

Qiao An said shyly, “Brother Xiaoran, I misunderstood you in the past. Don’t worry, I’ll repay you well in the future.”

“Misunderstanding?” Huo Xiaoran frowned.

“What did you misunderstand about me?”

Qiao An avoided the point. “It’s a long story. We’ll talk about it later.”

Huo Xiaoran continued, “Then how are you going to repay me?”

Qiao An tilted her head and thought hard, but Xiao Yue answered for her. “She owe you her life; of course she’lll have to marry you.”

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou almost spat out their tea.

Qiao An felt a chill at their huge reaction.

Huo Xiaoran quickly changed the topic. “Tomorrow is the annual meeting of our two companies. It’s said that the theme is a masquerade. At that time, you have to wear a mask to enter and you can’t take it off. Have you prepared the props? Do you want me to prepare them for you?”

Xiao Yue immediately refused. “No. In that case, wouldn’t you know our identities? There’s no mystery at all.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “You don’t have to keep being mysterious in front of me. Anyway, I won’t ask you to dance.”

Xiao Yue was so angry at Huo Xiaoran’s sharp tongue that she wanted to slap him. However, the other party was a demon king that no one dared to provoke. In the end, she could only ask Huo Zhou for help. “Eldest Cousin, Second Cousin despises me…”

Huo Zhou became the peacemaker. “Yueyue, do you think your second cousin will invite the girls to dance with him?”

Xiao Yue thought for a moment. “That’s true.”

Huo Xiaoran had always been cold and arrogant. It had always been others begging him to do things. When was it his turn to beg others to do things?

At that time, even if all the guests were dancing on the dance floor, he would still be sitting upright.

Time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the company’s annual party—the masquerade ball.

Since it was a social gathering between the two largest financial groups in the capital, the Huo Corporation and the Angel Corporation, the ball was exceptionally grand.

The location was held at the Huo family’s farm manor. The lawn of the manor, which could accommodate nearly 10,000 people, was filled with people. Food towers were set up at a distance, with fine wine and pastries placed on them.

The manor house had been decorated to the nines, the red carpet spilling onto the floor and the music of the waltz swaying with the finery.

In the venue, a woman in a high-end luxurious dress and a bunny mask was wandering everywhere, as if she was painstakingly looking for someone.

She was very confused and vexed because the person she was looking for was Huo Xiaoran, and she didn’t know what clothes he was wearing today and what mask he was wearing.

Because she had sneaked out of the hospital to attend the ball behind Huo Xiaoran’s back.

At this moment, she saw a man in a well-tailored white suit walking over elegantly like a prince.

That noble aura made her almost immediately decide that he was Huo Xiaoran.

She stepped forward. A very modest invitation. “Will you be my partner this evening?”

The voice that spoke was processed by a voice changer. It sounded strange and was especially different from the original voice.

The man sized her up. Seeing that she was dressed up, he guessed that she was the daughter of a tycoon and happily greeted her.

Little did she know that Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou had just arrived at the venue.

Huo Xiaoran was dressed very casually. He had a beige sweater and a black windbreaker with a stable and youthful logo. The mask he wore was very unique. It was a special mask with wings.

The silver seeped with a cold light that complemented the fair skin of his hand.

Beside him, Huo Zhou was wearing a fox mask and his usual cute suit.

The two of them stood out from the crowd and attracted everyone’s attention.

Huo Xiaoran looked up and scanned the crowd, only to see faces wearing various masks. It was really like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Qiao An among so many people.

“Huo Zhou, ask Yueyue what mask Qiao An is wearing.”

Huo Zhou deliberately made things difficult for him. “Xiaoran, if you have the ability to find Qiao An among so many masked women, I shall take it that you and her are destined.”

“Let’s make a bet?” Huo Xiaoran said confidently.

Huo Zhou said, “If I lose, I’ll cook for you for a month.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Deal.”

Then, Huo Xiaoran looked for Qiao An in the noisy crowd.

But he looked around a few times and didn’t find anyone who looked like Qiao An. Instead, the people around him had successfully paired up and the number of single people was decreasing.

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t help but feel nervous. He was afraid that Qiao An would form a pair if she couldn’t wait for him.

Perhaps Qiao An in real life had disappointed him time and time again. He was inexplicably stubborn about this hand-holding, but he was also depressed.

He wanted to prove for once that he and Qiao An could be together but he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the blow of failure.

Gradually, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.Suddenly, a slender hand tugged at his sleeve.

Huo Xiaoran turned to look at her, but he was stunned by the refreshing girl in front of him.

She was wearing a very simple and elegant light grass green dress with a tube top design, revealing her faintly discernible sexy collarbone. The dressed wrapped around her slender waist and peach buttocks perfectly. The design of the fish tail skirt matched the hollowed-out design on her chest, and it was embellished with dark green four-leaf grass of different sizes, making her look like a fairy among flowers.

“Will you dance with me?” she said.

Huo Xiaoran held her hand. “It’s my honor.”

He steered her onto the dance floor. As the music played, they partied.

According to the dance rules, if any CP made a mistake while dancing, they would be asked to leave the stage. They would be eliminated.

After a few rounds, the crowded dance floor thinned.
