440 Treat them equally

Her expression suddenly became serious. “Can you treat the three children equally? You brought the cherries that Brother Xiao Ming likes just to satisfy Joey’s taste? But your special favor for her will make Joey realize that she’s different from Ki Ki and Angel. Once she finds out that she’s not my biological daughter, she’ll become sensitive and suspicious. Do you want to see this end?”

Old Madam Xiao was instantly ashamed. “Qiao An, you’re right. I didn’t consider it carefully.”

Xiao Yue’s mother also felt ashamed. “Qiao An, I didn’t expect to be taught a lesson by you today at my age. You can treat the three children equally, but we selfishly neglected the other two children. It’s our fault. We won’t see the children today. We’ll come again another day.”

Qiao An held her hand and smiled. “There’s no need. The three children like to eat cherries. Let’s go in.”

Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Yue’s mother were overjoyed. They followed Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran into the courtyard uneasily.

At this moment, the three children ran out and shouted excitedly, “Daddy, Mommy.”

Ki Ki burrowed into Qiao An’s arms.

Angel and Joey crawled into Huo Xiaoran’s arms.

Huo Xiaoran picked up the two children and asked gently, “Do you miss Daddy?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Yes, I do.”

Angel and Joey nodded vigorously.

Huo Xiaoran asked, “How much do you miss me?”

Angel replied softly, “It’s deeper than the sea.”

“More than stars,” Joey replied.

Huo Xiaoran laughed out loud.

“You’re all Daddy’s good babies.”

At this moment, Joey hugged Huo Xiaoran’s head and wheedled, “Daddy, did you agree to let us go to the zoo in the afternoon?”

Angel refused. “To the botanical garden!”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Let’s play rock, paper, scissors. We’ll take the suggestion of the loser. Okay?”

Old Madam Xiao looked at the scene of Huo Xiaoran and the children living harmoniously. Her heart was feeling poignant.

She probably also realized that if Joey couldn’t grow up under her parents’ wings, Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran were the best choice.

Ki Ki was different from the two girls. He was not that clingy. He only asked his mother aggrievedly, “Mommy, what have you been busy with recently? Why haven’t you come home to see us for many days?”

Qiao An pinched his cheek. “Mommy has a dream. Recently, Mommy has been working hard to realize it. I’m sorry. Mommy shouldn’t have neglected you.”

She had been hospitalized for a few days. The child must be worried about her.

Ki Ki hugged her hand affectionately. “Mommy, can you tell me in advance where you’re going next?”

“Okay.”

After exchanging pleasantries with the children, Qiao An pulled them to Old Madam Xiao and said, “Call her Grandma. This is Aunt.”

This title followed Joey’s rank in her biological family. Qiao An’s arrangement was tantamount to asking Joey to acknowledge her ancestors.

Old Madam Xiao’s eyes immediately moistened.

“Hello, Grandma.”

“Hello, Aunt.”

“Good, good, good.” Old Madam Xiao stroked the children’s faces. “You’re all good children. Tomorrow is the weekend. I want to invite you to my house as guests. I’ll make many delicious dishes for you. Okay?”

The children looked at their mother in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Qiao An nodded.

The three children immediately said to Old Madam Xiao, “Thank you, Grandma. We’ll definitely be there on time tomorrow.”

The old lady laughed heartily.

After leaving Heavenly Imperial Garden, the smile on Old Madam Xiao’s face had yet to fade. Xiao Yue’s mother was also very happy and praised Qiao An’s magnanimity. “Mom, we were really petty in the past. Qiao An is really a good girl.”

Old Madam Xiao nodded. She instructed her daughter, “Tomorrow, we must prepare for the banquet. Qiao An raised Joey so well. She’s our Xiao family’s great benefactor. I have to thank her. Also, we have to talk to your father and husband to talk to them well. They’re not allowed to treat Qiao An badly tomorrow. If they dare to be disrespectful to Qiao An again, I’ll be the first to not let them off.”

When they returned to the Xiao family, Old Master Xiao and his son were sitting on the sofa resting. Old Madam Xiao walked up to them and informed them very seriously, “I have something to tell you.”

Seeing his wife’s solemn expression, Old Master Xiao immediately sat up. “Madam, what’s the matter?”

“I’m going to invite Qiao An’s family to a banquet tomorrow. I’m warning you, don’t give Qiao An any attitude tomorrow. If you make Qiao An unhappy, I’ll make you suffer.”

The two of them looked at each other. “What did Qiao An feed you? How did you become Qiao An’s loyal fan?”

Xiao Yue’s mother smiled and said, “We went to see the children today. Originally, we specially went to see Joey, but Qiao An lectured us.”

The old man was even more surprised. “Why are you still so protective of her after being lectured?”

Old Madam Xiao said in admiration, “She asked us to treat the children equally, protect their pride, and be sensitive. She can treat the three children equally, and yet we can’t do the same for Angel and Ki Ki. In terms of magnanimity, I feel inferior.”

Old Master Xiao fell silent.

Old Master Xiao caved and sighed. “He chose her after all. She’s indeed extraordinary.”

“What did you say?” the old lady asked.

The old man smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Honey, we will definitely obey your orders. After all, you’re the queen of this family.”

The old lady smiled.

The night was long and silent.

Qiao An lay on the bed and looked at Huo Xiaoran’s exquisite face. A face that looked like him appeared in her mind.

She was conflicted.

Should she tell Brother Xiaoran about his existence?

She was weighing the pros and cons, and even more so their safety.

Huo Xiaoran suddenly opened his eyes. Qiao An widened her eyes and quickly closed them.

Huo Xiaoran reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her head. “An’an, when you looked at me these past few days, you seemed a little uneasy. Is there something on your mind?”

Qiao An hugged him tightly. “Brother Xiaoran, no.”

“You are naughty and learned to lie to me. We clearly agreed that we would be honest with each other for the rest of our lives.”

Qiao An was slightly stunned and looked up at him.

“Brother Xiaoran, I think I saw…”

“Saw what?” Huo Xiaoran asked suspiciously.

Qiao An lost the courage to continue.

She felt that with Xiaoran’s personality, he would definitely not want Falcon to take the risk alone. He would think of a way to help him escape.

That way, he would be in danger too.

Qiao An couldn’t put Xiaoran in such danger.

“Brother Xiaoran, let me think about it again,” she begged.

Huo Xiaoran could tell that she was conflicted and hesitant. He did not force her. “Okay.”
