Chapter 191: Xiao Ran’s Wish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Thinking that he was about to marry Lu Mo and have children, Huo Xiaoran felt despair.
However, he was a responsible person. Since he had chosen this path, he would go all the way.
“In the continent, which temple is the most efficacious?” Huo Xiaoran thought that since he was going to marry Lu Mo, he and Qiao An should end it.
One last thing he’d done for Qiao An before he banished her from his life was return the good fortune she’d given him.
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran as if he was looking at a treasure. “Why? Are you going to burn incense and pray to Buddha?”
Huo Xiaoran nodded.
Huo Zhou said, “There’s a White Horse Temple outside the capital. It’s said that wishes are especially effective. Why don’t I abandon my work and accompany you tomorrow?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “If you’re not busy today, please help me buy some incense paper money. I want to make a wish with Guanyin.”
Huo Zhou said, “You want to make a wish? Tell me what you want. I’ll help you fulfill it.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “You can’t achieve it.”
Huo Zhou was unconvinced. “Then let Grandpa help you achieve it.”
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran’s hopeless expression and understood. Huo Xiaoran’s wish might only be fulfilled by those supernatural powers.

......
The next day.
Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran arrived at the White Horse Temple in the suburbs early in the morning. Huo Zhou specially spent a lot of money to invite the accomplished monks inside to explain the wishing process to them.
The monk said, “Be sincere. Remember to return the wish when it’s fulfilled.”
Huo Xiaoran asked humbly, “How can I fulfill my wish?”
Huo Zhou was speechless as he gaped.
Huo Xiaoran glanced at him fiercely, and Huo Zhou barely closed his mouth in surprise.
“Xiaoran, asking this question will make others suspect that your IQ is only three years old.”
Huo Xiaoran ignored him and waited humbly for the senior monk’s answer.
The monk said, “The highest realm of wishing is to exchange with the gods. In other words, exchange your wishes with the precious things on you.”
Huo Xiaoran was stunned.
So when Qiao An had made her wish, she had made an exchange with the gods. She had transferred her luck to him.
Seeing that Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded, Huo Zhou tugged at his sleeve and reminded her, “Xiaoran, don’t take such things so seriously.”
In the end, Huo Xiaoran came to Guan Yin and completed the exchange with the goddess under the guidance of the senior monk.
He clasped his hands together and knelt reverently on the futon. “I would give my luck, my health, my happiness, everything to Qiao An for free,” he read silently. “May she live the rest of her life carefree and without illness or disaster.”
Huo Zhou heard him mutter softly and was furious.
After Huo Xiaoran made his wish, he started arguing with him with red eyes. “What kind of lousy wish is this? What’s so good about Qiao An? Is she worth you giving your heart to?”
Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “Alright, it’s rare for you to come. Perhaps you can make a wish.”
“I have no wish to make.”
“Then ask Guan Yin to let you meet your true love.”
Huo Zhou thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll experience your so-called true love. I want to see if any woman will turn me into an idiot like you.”
Huo Zhou knelt on the meditation cushion and begged Guan Yin, “Please give me a beautiful woman so that I can be like my cousin and be obsessed with her. I can forget about eating and sleeping for her and be as humble as dust for her.”
After the wish ended, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden.
Perhaps the gods had heard Huo Xiaoran’s pious thoughts, but after five years of bad luck, Qiao An was pleasantly surprised.
One day, she suddenly received a call from her editor. The editor told her excitedly, “Four Leaf Clover, congratulations. Your work ‘Ten Years of Love’ has been nominated for the Internet Writers’ Grand Ceremony. We officially invite you to the award ceremony.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQiao An was in a daze. Although she was a well-paid new media guru, she had only debuted for a short time. She didn’t have many works. Therefore, she was unknown in the online literary world.
She did not expect that the heavens would favor her so much that she would blossom in her career after being hurt in love.
“Four Leaf Clover, do you hear me? Listen to me. When the time comes, you have to dress up because you’re going up to collect the axle prize. I’ve already heard the inside news that this year’s bestseller is going to be you.”
The editor said half-jokingly, “Four Leaf Clover, you represent the image of our Hai Yue Group. You also know that our new media company’s performance has fallen drastically in recent years and has been crushed by several other new companies. However, you’ve made our Hai Yue Group proud. I hope you can showcase the strength of the Hai Yue Group and crush the authors of other websites. Haha.”
Qiao An was thrilled. “Okay. I got it.”
The Internet Writers’ Grand Ceremony was led by the Hai Yue Corporation and organized by several other powerful websites. This time, the writers’ banquet was very large and powerful. Even the venue was the luxurious clubhouse of the richest family in the capital, the Huo family.
One had to know that the Huo family’s clubhouse was often used to receive important figures both domestically and abroad.
As the president of the Hai Yue Corporation, Huo Xiaoran naturally had to attend the event.
As for Huo Xiaoran’s girlfriend, Lu Mo, she stuck to Huo Xiaoran after she was discharged from the hospital. There were many beauties in the Writers’ Association, and all of them were talented. Lu Mo was always worried that someone would seduce Huo Xiaoran, so she followed them.
However, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran sat in the middle of the first row of VIP seats, while Lu Mo sat behind.
When Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou sat down, Huo Zhou glanced at the name behind him. When he saw the pen name of Four Leaf Clover, he was slightly stunned.
“Four Leaf Clover. I’ve never heard of this writer before. He doesn’t seem to be famous. This unknown writer occupies the writer’s seat. Presumably he climbed up through connections again. When did the circle of writers become so complicated?”
The person beside Huo Xiaoran, a senior executive of the Hai Yue Group, quickly explained to Huo Zhou, “Young Master Huo, this Four Leaf Clover is the new contracted author of our Hai Yue Group. Her books are selling especially well. The profits are like a ceiling for women.”
Huo Zhou pouted. “I take back what I just said.”
As soon as they sat down, a beautiful figure in red walked over.
She was wearing a red chiffon dress with a tube top that accentuated her dazzling cleavage. The skirt was a fishtail design. The most eye-catching design was a high parting on the left. When she walked, she would reveal a well-proportioned and fair leg. Coupled with her high heels, she was the epitome of grace.
“Wow, she’s beautiful,” the crowd exclaimed.
