Chapter 75 - Approaching Qiao An Just for Revenge
Chapter 75: Approaching Qiao An Just for Revenge
At this moment, the single girls in the resting area surrounded Li Xiaoran and Chen Xiao, saying all kinds of flattering words. It felt like a celebrity fan meeting.
As Li Xiaoran’s niece, Li Ze’en stood firmly in the center and looked at Chen Xiao with infatuation.
“Young Master Chen, so you’re my uncle’s friend. Can I treat you to a meal?” Li Zeen was quite direct.
Chen Xiao replied, “Sorry, I’m not free recently.”
“Doctor Li, so you’re my brother’s friend. Can I treat you to a meal?” Although she was imitating Li Ze’en’s routine, her voice was filled with the taste of tea, fresh and refined.
Qiao An couldn’t help but turn around and see Chen Xiao’s sister, Chen Keke, staring at Li Xiaoran with big watery eyes and a bright smile.
She had the gentle temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family and the playfulness of a girl next door. Standing among the beauties, she was especially dazzling.
Qiao An felt that she was more compatible with Li Xiaoran than Lu Mo.
Li Xiaoran directly kicked the problem to Chen Xiao. “Didn’t you tell your sister about me?”
Chen Xiao shrugged and smiled gentlemanly. “I encouraged her to woo you.”
Li Xiaoran glared at Chen Xiao. “Come with me. Let’s talk.”
With that, he walked out with a dark expression.
Chen Xiao followed him.
Qiao An ate and drank some drinks. After eating, she stood up and looked for the bathroom.
The structure of the club was complicated. Qiao An walked for a while before realizing that she was lost. She searched for a long time and came to the room at the end. Although there was no sign of a bathroom, the door was ajar. Qiao An thought that if it was a guest room, she could borrow the other party’s bathroom.
Qiao An raised her hand to knock on the door, but just as she was about to knock, he heard Chen Xiao’s voice from inside.
“Senior, why did you hide your identity?”
“It’s not convenient to say now.”
The other voice was no longer casual and cold. Qiao An felt that she could recognize it even if it turned to dust. It was Li Xiaoran’s voice.
Qiao An was stunned. What other identity did Li Xiaoran have?
However, looking at Chen Xiao’s respectful attitude towards Li Xiaoran today, coupled with Chen Xiao’s words, Qiao An guessed that Li Xiaoran still had the identity of a big shot.
At this moment, Chen Xiao said,
“Senior, my sister admires you very much. Although she’s not outstanding, she’s very kind and clean. She hasn’t dated yet. Why don’t you try dating her?”
“You clearly know that my heart is with her. This is unfair to your sister.” Li Xiaoran’s tone was a little sad.
Qiao An was curious. Who did Li Xiaoran’s heart fall for?
Chen Xiao said excitedly, “Senior Brother, she’s just a woman who despises the poor and loves the rich. She’s not suitable for you.”
“She was my first love. I’ve always been obsessed with her.”
Qiao An shuddered. So Li Xiaoran was talking about her? For some reason, she was overjoyed.
At this moment, she heard Chen Xiao say angrily, “Senior, you’re obsessed with cleanliness and won’t use things that others have used. Didn’t you say that you came back this time to take revenge on her?”
Chen Xiao’s voice was inexplicably cold. Qiao An felt as if every cell in her body had been frozen by this cold air.
Through the crack in the door, she saw Li Xiaoran leaning lazily against the wall with a long cigarette between his slender fingers.
The smoke enveloped Li Xiaoran’s face, and his eyes became deep and unfathomable in the smoke. Li Xiaoran was so cold that there was no trace of warmth, making Qiao An feel that he was very unfamiliar.
Through the thin smoke, Qiao An vaguely saw Li Xiaoran nod slightly.
As if she had seen a ghost, Qiao An turned around with wide eyes and staggered away.
The cloth shoes scraped on the carpet. There was not even a sound. She came and went like a ghost.
Instead of returning to the clubhouse, Qiao An ran out.
Chen Xiao’s words kept lingering in her mind:
“You’re a clean freak. You won’t use anything that others have used. Didn’t you come back this time just to take revenge on her?”
Qiao An ran a mile away in one breath. On an unfamiliar street corner, she burst into tears.
She did not know why she felt so sad. She clearly did not have any expectations for Li Xiaoran, but when she learned of his true intentions for approaching her, she felt like the mountains were collapsing.
It was as if the leaves had been abandoned by the tree trunk, as if the ship had been abandoned by the sea.
She felt helpless and helpless.
So Li Xiaoran had deliberately approached her to take revenge on her?
When Li Xiaoran and Chen Xiao came out of the secret room, Li Xiaoran did not see Qiao An and his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Li Zecheng and Wei Xin were still dancing on the dance floor. The two of them looked at each other affectionately, as if the world had turned barren and there was only each other in their eyes.
Naturally, Li Zecheng didn’t notice that Qiao An had left. The other single handsome men and beautiful women gathered and chatted. They didn’t care about a married couple.
Li Xiaoran picked up his phone and called Qiao An.
After waiting for a long time, Qiao An picked up the phone. His voice was filled with suppressed tears as she asked bitterly, “Is Dr. Li looking for me?”
“Where are you?” Li Xiaoran asked.
Qiao An’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly hated his sexy cello-like voice. His gentleness was mixed with concern, making her involuntarily like him.
But such gentleness was clearly a poisonous poppy. The more it made you unable to stop, the more poisonous it was.
Fortunately, Qiao An had always been a rational and calm person.
After she knew that Li Xiaoran was close to her due to his own evil goal, she would make the right choice no matter how much she liked him.
That was to stay away from Li Xiaoran and not give him a chance to hurt her.
“Doctor Li, please don’t contact me again.” Qiao An’s voice trembled with fear.
“Qiao An, what do you mean?” Li Xiaoran’s eagle eyes narrowed. Qiao An’s sudden cold attitude towards him made him unhappy.
Qiao An’s voice was polite and distant.
“Doctor Li. I’m a married woman. Doctor Li and I often keep in touch. It’s not a gentleman’s doing!”
“Qiao An, are you severing ties with me?” Li Xiaoran’s gentle voice contained hostility.
“I saved your life. Is this how you repay me?”
Qiao An was speechless.
Qiao An recalled the scene of Li Xiaoran taking good care of her in the hospital and how he sold the house to treat her mother. Her heart ached.
If she had not known Li Xiaoran’s true intentions for approaching her, she might have been grateful to Li Xiaoran for the rest of her life.
Now that she knew, she only felt that Li Xiaoran was very scary.
He was even more terrifying than Li Zecheng.
No wonder the Old Master said that he was the most tolerant and shrewd man in the Li family.
Indeed, no one knew their son better than their father.
