Chapter 323: Returning to the Li Family

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After Xiao Yue and Huo Zhou left, the house finally regained its peace.

Huo Xiaoran looked at the beautiful Qiao An and opened his arms. “An’an, come here and let me hug you.”

Qiao An ran over and threw herself into Huo Xiaoran’s arms happily.

Huo Xiaoran hugged her tightly and said in extreme satisfaction, “Am I dreaming? I was clearly filled with resentment towards life yesterday, but today, I have a son, two daughters, and a wife. I’ve lived like the ultimate boss.”

Qiao An said, “Brother Xiaoran, your suffering is over.”

Huo Xiaoran rubbed her thin back with his big hand. “Yes.”

The children in the game area looked at their parents and smiled foolishly. “Daddy hugged Mommy.”

Joey was very adult. “What’s so strange about that? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. I’ve even seen Daddy kiss Mommy.”

Ki Ki looked at Joey and Angel in horror and said, “Not for children.”

Qiao An crawled out of Huo Xiaoran’s arms shyly and replied, “Brother Xiaoran, we still have to pay attention to our image in the future.”

Huo Xiaoran reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Then wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage?”

He then taught Qiao An with the attitude of a doctor. “Parents who show off their love in front of their children will make them feel more secure and proud. An’an, we shouldn’t hide our love from our children.”

Qiao An turned to look at the three children, only to find them all staring at her with wide, curious eyes.

Angel Qiao even became concerned about her mommy. “Mommy, if Daddy hugs you to sleep, will you not have nightmares?”

Qiao An was speechless.

“If you talk any more, I’ll send you to kindergarten for boarding,” she said wickedly.

Ki Ki stuck out his tongue.

Huo Xiaoran pinched Qiao An’s nose and said dotingly, “Don’t scare the child.”

However, in order not to be disturbed by the children, the next day, Huo Xiaoran heartlessly sent the children to the noble kindergarten in the Heaven Imperial Garden Compound.

The children seemed to have long been used to a bumpy life and had no objections at all to a new life and a new environment.

On the other hand, after Huo Xiaoran sent the children to the kindergarten, he showed more anxiety than the children. He lingered in the kindergarten for a long time and only left reluctantly when he saw the children happily finishing their morning exercises with their new classmates.

This way, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An could spend most of the day alone.

Qiao An liked to admire the flowers and grass in the garden, but Huo Xiaoran liked to stay in the room and play with her.

At noon, Huo Xiaoran received an unprecedented call from the Li family. It was her sister, Li Tingting. Tingting said anxiously on the other end of the phone, “Brother, come back quickly. Dad is sick. He’s very sick. The doctor said that he might not be able to survive this time. Come back quickly and see him.”

Huo Xiaoran did not speak for a long time.

Only then did Li Tingting realize that in those few years, the Li family’s suppression of the Angel Group could be said to be unscrupulous. Fortunately, Huo Xiaoran was smart and counterattacked the Li family group with thunderous methods. In the end, although the Li family was defeated, it also made her brother indifferent to the Li family.

Her brother hadn’t been home for many years, and he had resolutely changed his surname to Huo.

Li Tingting asked carefully, “Brother, can you not forgive the Li family?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Tingting, let me think about it.”

Huo Xiaoran hung up and sat on the sofa in a daze.

He was suffering inside. He had once secretly vowed to cut ties with the Li family. Only then would he be worthy of his mother, who had died in vain. Only then would he be worthy of Qiao An, who had been hurt and let down by the Li family.

However, Old Master Li was his father after all. Huo Xiaoran was still a little sad that he was sick.

Qiao An washed a pot of cherries and came over to sit beside Huo Xiaoran. She gently and considerately fed the cherries to Huo Xiaoran and then asked him meaningfully, “Is it sweet?”

Huo Xiaoran hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Whatever An’an feeds me would be sweet.”

Qiao An smiled. “Then will this sweetness drive out the bitterness in your heart?”

Huo Xiaoran was slightly stunned. “You can tell?”

Qiao An said, “Brother Xiaoran, Auntie and I love you very much. But our love is not binding. We want you to be happy more.”

Qiao An’s gentleness and understanding made Huo Xiaoran very touched.

He captured her lips and crushed them passionately.

“An’an, accompany me, okay?”

Qiao An was momentarily stunned. Going back to the Li family was something she had never thought of in her life.

Her broken marriage with Li Zecheng made her hate the Li family to the core. She had once thought that she would never step into the Li family again in her life.

But Qiao An was rational. Although her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law had never treated her well, Old Master Li was her soulmate. His approval of her was her lifeline in the dark years of the Li family.

Besides, Old Master Li was Xiaoran’s father. It was still unknown how their relationship would end.

Qiao An couldn’t resist Huo Xiaoran’s childish coquettishness at all. She only nodded. “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”

Huo Xiaoran carried her up and went to the cloakroom. He chose a grass-green tight fishtail dress and a white fluffy shawl for her. As for him, he was wearing a green shirt and a white casual suit. It was obvious that they were a couple.

Qiao An was stunned. She was sure that Huo Xiaoran just wanted to go back to visit the old man and show off to Li Zecheng.

Qiao An saw through it but didn’t say anything.

When they went downstairs, Huo Xiaoran looked at the car in the parking lot in a daze.

Qiao An knew that if he was in a bad state of mind, he had an old problem with trembling hands. So most of the time, he couldn’t drive.

But she had never learned to drive.

“Brother Xiaoran, let’s call the driver over,” Qiao An suggested.

Huo Xiaoran didn’t want to have a third party in the car. He only wanted to stay with Qiao An. He turned his head to ask Qiao An for her opinion. “An’an, I’m driving. Do you dare to sit?”

Qiao An laughed. She opened the passenger door and got in.

Huo Xiaoran’s heart warmed for Qiao An’s courage.

He got into the car and composed himself.

Qiao An was going to fasten her seatbelt and Huo Xiaoran looked at her in surprise.

Qiao An touched her face. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Huo Xiaoran smiled brightly. “Silly, you’ll be spoiled by me.”

Qiao An looked at the seat belt in her hand and slowly lowered it.

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t take it anymore. “An’an, help me fasten my seatbelt.”

Qiao An thoughtfully buckled him in.

Then, when she was putting on her seatbelt, Huo Xiaoran snatched it away and helped her put it on.

Qiao An looked at him and couldn’t resist kissing him. “It’s a reward.”

Huo Xiaoran grinned and said, “An’an, I’ll do all the small things in the family in the future. Just reward me.”

Qiao An was speechless.
