Chapter 705: Chapter 704: All Previous Efforts Abandoned_1 Chapter 705: Chapter 704: All Previous Efforts Abandoned_1 Love that leads to a fear of loss, love that makes him want to fuse her into his very being. Sometimes, even he shared the fear of himself when he became a stranger brimming with such an unearthly familiarity.

Qiao Xiaren made no response, but she reached out to wrap her arms tightly around him, meeting his lips with hers in a deep embrace.

This beautiful and warm night was soon interrupted by an urgent phone call.

Si Limo’s father seemed to be looking for him, and the situation sounded somewhat urgent.

“Ranran.”

“You should go if something comes up. Be careful on the road,” said Qiao Xiaren, her hand resting on his slightly knitted brows. She tiptoed to place a kiss on his cheek.

Si Limo lowered his head, fiercely kissing her lips with a bit of force before he left.

As his figure disappeared from sight, Qiao Xiaren went upstairs.

Just in time, dinner was ready.

One dish after another came out of the kitchen. The old lady Qiao was a little surprised to see Xiaren alone.

“Where’s Limo?”

“Granny, he had something to do and left early.”

Madam Qiao murmured, “That boy, he couldn’t even stay for dinner?”

Qiao Xiaren almost choked. Before, her grandmother had been quite defensive of Si Limo. Now, did she have the illusion that her grandmother couldn’t wait to package her and send her to him?

She was somewhat curious. How on earth had Si Limo won over her grandmother?

Lord Qiao, Bai Qiuqing, and Qiao Lin all came down from upstairs. Qiao Yi’an was pushing a wheelchair, coming into the dining room from the balcony.

“Everyone’s here. Let’s have dinner!”

The old man sat down, and everyone followed suit. Bai Qiuqing sat next to Qiao Lin. Her eyes were focused on the old man and Qiao Lin, occasionally saying some flattery. She was incredibly sweet.

Her gaze was filled with obvious contempt and arrogance when she glanced at Qiao Xiaren.

At this time, Qiao Yi’an seemed exceptionally quiet, frequently putting food into Qiao Xiaren’s bowl, treating everyone else as if they didn’t exist.

“Xiaren, Lord Si mentioned to me last time about the two of you. When do you plan to get married, Ranran?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yi’an almost spat out his food. “Grandfather, Xiaren is still young. It’s still early to talk about marriage.”

Lord Qiao paused for a moment, “Ranran’s status is different from others. But of course, if the girl is willing to marry early, I wouldn’t mind. The Si family has several forces behind it. Sooner or later, it will be assumed by Limo. At that time, the two families will certainly become an irresistible force.”

Hearing this, Bai Qiuqing was surprised. Was the old man planning to hand over the Qiao Family to Qiao Xiaren?

She looked at Qiao Xiaren and realized that her face had no emotion, making it impossible to guess her thoughts.

Bai Qiuqing felt frustrated and concentrated on eating her food.

“Grandpa, I don’t plan to get married just yet,” Qiao Xiaren said, eating her food while smiling at the old man. “I understand everything you said. Don’t worry!”

“Alright, let’s eat,” the old man responded, dropping the topic.

Bai Qiuqing on the side, began to churn with thoughts. She had finally married into the Qiao family with the intention of becoming its real mistress, to benefit her family.

This large Qiao family cannot fall into the hands of a lonely girl who married away.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all her previous efforts have been in vain?
