The engagement banquet was held in the Huo family's clubhouse, and it was a very grand event. The attendees were divided into three groups: relatives and friends of the Huo family, relatives and friends of the Lu family, and relatives and friends of the Li family.
These three families are all well-known families in Kyoto, so it can be imagined that the people who come and go are all respectable.
Lu Mo was wearing a gorgeous and expensive dress. Today, she didn't look like a cancer patient at all. Instead, she had a rosy complexion and happy brows.
Huo Xiaoran is wearing his usual dark suit, but his hair is slightly styled, and he looks handsome and charming. He just looks tired.
The younger generation, such as Li Zeen, Li Zecheng, Chen Xiao, and Xiao Yue, all gathered around today's protagonists and chatted with them heartily.
I don’t know who it was who sighed in confusion: “Why didn’t Qiao An come?”
The heroine's face suddenly turned ugly. She was not so generous as to invite her love rival to the scene to steal her limelight, especially a beauty like Qiao An.
"How could Sister Lu Mo invite her here?" Li Zeen said what was in Lu Mo's heart, and Lu Mo's face turned green and white.
When her narrow-mindedness is brought to the table, can she not be upset?
At this time, in order to save her respect, she could only look up at Huo Xiaoran and said with a smile: "Brother, have you invited Qiao An?"
Huo Xiaoran said: "Yeah."
Li Zecheng took some time to tease and said: "I invited you, but you didn't come. Uncle, it seems that your Bai Yueguang didn't take you seriously at all."
Li Zecheng's words slapped Lu Mo in the face.
The person she didn't invite was invited by her husband, but she refused to show her favor and didn't come.
Yes, Qiao An didn’t come.
This made Huo Xiaoran feel extremely complicated.
I feel both relieved and disappointed.
Just when he was wondering how to guess Qiao An's mood, Xiao Yue suddenly said something confused.
"If Sister Qiao An really lets go of her cousin, she should come to your engagement party openly and send blessings to your cousin openly, right? In my opinion, Qiao An has not given up on her cousin at all.
."
These words were like a wasp, stinging Lu Mo and making him tremble all over.
She looked at Huo Xiaoran in fear, stretched out her hand and held his hand tightly. She was afraid that he would turn into a gust of wind and fly to Qiao An.
Huo Xiaoran smiled bitterly and said: "With her temperament, if she really had feelings for me, there would be no engagement party today."
Lu Mo's face turned as white as paper.
Huo Xiaoran's words clearly imply that she is just a spare tire. Although she is a spare tire, no spare tire is willing to admit that she is a spare tire.
"Brother, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Can you send me to the lounge to rest for a while?" Lu Mo just wanted to escape from this scene that would slap her in the face every minute.
Huo Xiaoran was quite gentle, "Let's go."
He heard Xiao Yue's voice asking Qiao He from behind: "Where is Sister Qiao An?"
"Going to the temple to offer incense." Qiao He said, "She goes to the temple to offer incense every year today."
Huo Xiaoran's footsteps paused.
Today is his birthday. Qiao An goes to offer incense on his birthday every year?
Her intentions are self-evident.
She must have gone to pray for his peace.
Lu Mo noticed something strange about Huo Xiaoran, and she tugged on his sleeve, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Huo Xiaoran was like an old monk in trance, without any reaction for a long time.
After shouting several times in a row, Huo Xiaoran came back to her senses.
He absent-mindedly sent Lu Mo to the lounge.
At the same time.
White Horse Temple.
Qiao An came to the White Horse Temple wearing a light green gauze skirt and long, smooth seaweed-colored hair.
Green is Huo Xiaoran’s lucky color.
Over the years, she has been a frequent visitor to the temple.
I easily bought the necessary incense wax paper money, then donated money to each of the gods and Buddhas and bowed before them. Finally, I came to the wishing tree and wrote my name in the merit book.
Perhaps it was not the peak season for burning incense recently, so there were only a few scattered names on the pages of the merit book. Qiao An caught a glimpse of Huo Xiaoran's name.
Next to the powerful font, lies her name Qiao An.
When Qiao An saw this name, tears filled her eyelashes.
She picked up the pen and re-wrote her and Huo Xiaoran's names on the merit book. However, under their names, there were the names of three babies.
Light the lotus lantern, write blessings, put it in a red brocade bag, and wrap it around the ancient and vigorous wishing tree.
A breeze blew, and countless red kits were floating above my head.
There were also many red brocade bags that had been blown down lying on the ground. Qiao An looked at these brocade bags on the ground, and she thought, these brocade bags will definitely take root and sprout.
There are also a few kits that are wrapped unsteadily and flutter down when the wind blows.
One of them actually fell into Qiao An's arms and stuck to Qiao An's heart.
Qiao An was slightly absent-minded. She took off the bag, hesitated for a moment, and silently cursed: "Now that you have found me, do you want me to help you realize your wish?"
With curiosity about this God-given fate, Qiao An slowly opened the bag of tips.
When she saw the powerful font, she was dumbfounded again. The font was inexplicably familiar. It wasn't until she saw the name at the top of the row and Mo Wei's signature that Qiao An knew it was the wish letter left by Huo Xiaoran.
"I am willing to give my luck, my health, my happiness and everything to Qiao An for free. I wish her to be carefree, disease-free and disaster-free for the rest of her life."
Qiao An silently recited this deep wish of love, her heart felt like being pricked by needles, and her tears rolled down uncontrollably.
This is the exchange between Huo Xiaoran and the gods.
In the past three years, she has been questioning his love for her.
Even the day before yesterday, she was still questioning him because he bailed Li Changhai.
She loves him but never believes him.
Over the years, he had been cautiously approaching her and trying to please her under her misunderstanding. But because she misunderstood him, she became extremely bad-tempered and spoke harshly to him.
Make him turn a blind eye to her good qualities.
If he doesn't love her, it doesn't matter if she does this. But he obviously still loves her.
How painful it must be for him to have her treat him like this.
Qiao An sat on the stone steps and cried like a child for the first time.
She finally stopped holding back her pain and allowed her grievances and pain to be vented.
"Girl, why are you crying?"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar hoarse voice came from my ears.
Qiao An quickly wiped away her tears and looked up.
But she saw a familiar face that made her scared.
"Is it you?"
She stood up and wanted to run away, but found that her body was suddenly so weak that she had no strength at all.
Soon, her brain became dizzy and she fell straight on top of the man.
The man supported her and walked up the mountain step by step.
