Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At night, when Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran were drinking, Huo Zhou poured out his grievances to Huo Xiaoran. “Qiao An refused to change. The director complained to me today. Xiaoran, since you and Lu Mo are already set in stone, Qiao An is your past. Do I still have to give in to Qiao An?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou with a meaningful gaze.

“So have you decided to replace the writer?”

Huo Zhou shrugged. “My new girl is a new director and is quite an independent woman. However, she and Qiao An don’t see eye to eye. The two of them fought on the set. I thought that one of us had to sacrifice. So, I’ll discuss it with you. Should we change the director or screenwriter?”

Huo Xiaoran frowned. After thinking for a moment, he looked up and asked Huo Zhou seriously, “How far have you progressed with her?”

Huo Zhou smiled and said, “We’re fast-food lovers. We’ve only known each other for a day, but we can already live the life a married couple should have.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Are you serious with her?”

Huo Zhou said aggrievedly, “Please, I’m serious with any woman.”

Huo Xiaoran looked doubtful.

Huo Zhou explained helplessly, “Every time I go out with a girlfriend, I always tell myself in my heart to treat her well. Perhaps she’s my true love.

But as you know, I’m so busy every day that I don’t have time to accompany them. I can only use money to make them happy. Seeing their satisfied expressions, I feel unbalanced. Is this someone who loves me or someone who loves my money? Over time, my love will come to nothing.”

Huo Xiaoran was very envious of him. “At least the love you want can be bought with money.”

Huo Zhou said, “You’re being unreasonable.”

Huo Xiaoran took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Huo Zhou. He said solemnly, “It has always been Qiao An’s dream to make the novel into a movie. I promised her many years ago to help her fulfill her wish. Take the money in this card as my support for her.”

Huo Zhou said indignantly, “You remember her every wish so clearly and did your best to help her fulfill it. What about you? What about your dreams? Did she fulfill her promise and help you fulfill one or two dreams?”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression darkened. “My dream is too difficult to achieve.”

His dream was to have a warm home with Qian An and have adorable children.

Huo Zhou shouted, “Isn’t it difficult for you to buy her a house? Isn’t it difficult for you to help her film a drama? I just want to think of how you went from having nothing to being as rich as a country today. It’s all to realize the motivation that Qiao An’s wish brought you. I just feel that Qiao An isn’t worthy of you.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Without her, how could I have come so far?”

Huo Zhou raised his card and asked, “How much?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “One billion. Is that enough?”

Huo Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re really generous to her. Her drama is only an art film. It doesn’t cost money.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “She’s different from other girls. She’s career-minded. If I can’t bring her happiness in her life, I’ll try my best to make it up to her in her career.”

“Zhou Zhou, I want you to use this money to find a director for her with your heart. Preferably a director who can admire her and understand her. And good actors as well. Try to satisfy her requests.”

Huo Zhou sighed and said, “Looks like you won’t be able to walk out of her trap in this lifetime.”

Huo Xiaoran did not speak and became silent and sad.

After a long time, he asked Huo Zhou unconfidently, “Do you think it’s possible for someone who wants you dead to fall in love with you again?”

Huo Zhou naturally knew what he was thinking. How could he give him an answer rashly?

If he gave him hope, he was afraid that Qiao An would make Huo Xiaoran live in pain for the rest of his life.

Huo Zhou only said calmly, “Xiaoran, forget her.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled bitterly.

Huo Zhou had assigned a new director to Qiao An’s script, but this time, the director was someone close to the Huo family. She was Huo Zhou’s cousin, Xiao Yue, the daughter of Huo Zhou’s uncle.

Xiao Yue was an exception in the Lu family, which was a military family. Huo Zhou’s father and uncles were all soldiers.

On the other hand, Xiao Yue was born romantic. Although she was a director, she usually liked to watch boring melodrama. And she was most obsessed with Qiao An’s books.

So when Huo Zhou asked her to work with Qiao An, she was overjoyed. She agreed.

Then, Xiao Yue immediately got Qiao An’s number from Huo Zhou and called Qiao An on the spot to contact her.

“Qiao An, it’s Xiao Yue. I’m a fan of yours.” As soon as the call went through, Xiao Yue’s voice sounded unusually passionate and happy.

Qiao An was half-awake, but hearing what Xiao Yue said, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Xiao Yue, but how did you get my phone number?”

Qiao An found it curious that such a fanatical fan had suddenly appeared.

“Qiao An, I’m the director of your new drama. Huo Zhou invited me to film for you. I’m so happy. I can’t believe I was able to film my idol’s novel.”

Qiao An finally heard something.

“What about the previous directors?”

“Yes,” Xiao Yue said. “Huo Zhou said that a big shot invested a billion dollars in your new drama. The request is that you can modify the script at will and choose an actor at will. Therefore, if you’re free tomorrow, let’s talk about the work arrangements. Is that okay?”

Qiao An said brightly, “Sure.”

However, she was especially curious about the identity of the big shot behind this scene. She had to ask Xiao Yue who this person was.

The next day, while Qiao An was still asleep, she felt a small hand gently stroke her face.

Qiao An woke up to see her daughter, Joey, leaning over the head of her bed with a particularly cute smile. “Mommy, it’s your day off.”

Qiao An slapped her forehead. Now that she thought about it, it had been a little inappropriate to agree to meet Xiao Yue last night.

She’d spent so little time with her three darlings lately. She should have spent time with them on rare weekends.

Qiao An reached out and wrapped Joy in the blanket. She hugged her daughter tightly, feeling blissful.

“Mommy has work today. What should I do, baby?”

Joey said, “Then go to work, Mommy. Uncle will keep us company.”

Carrying a bag of hot steamed buns, Angel Qiao walked over to Qiao An and started feeding her mother. “Mommy, your favorite buns.”

Qiao An opened her mouth and bit down.

“Thank you, Angel. This is Mommy’s favorite sugar bun.”

At this moment, Ki Ki ran in, snatched the bun from his sister’s hand, and ran. Ki Ki also criticized his mommy very severely. “You can’t eat until you rinse your mouth. You can’t have broken teeth.”
