Huo Xiaoran shouted excitedly, “Uncle, why?”
Mr. Qiao’s heart ached. “She had three children with unknown fathers. I blamed her for throwing her integrity to the winds. So in a fit of anger, I chased her away.”
Huo Xiaoran was puzzled. “Three children with unknown paternity? Qiao An didn’t say who the father was?”
“Hmph, I think she must have gone astray. She’s too embarrassed to be honest with me.” Father Qiao’s disappointment in Qiao An overflowed.
When Huo Xiaoran heard Father Qiao’s words, he immediately felt a chill in his heart.
Qiao An had probably kept it from him and interacted with other men. Otherwise, why would she bear three children in three years?
How much did she love that man?
Father Qiao’s voice was filled with disappointment for Qiao An. “Xiaoran, I know you haven’t forgotten her after so many years. I didn’t teach my daughter well and raised a shameless daughter. Don’t worry about her in the future.”
Father Qiao’s disappointed voice was like countless knives stabbing Xiao Ran’s heart. He could not bear for Qiao An to be abandoned by the world.
Although his heart ached like a knife, he thought about how he’d made her life miserable in the past few years because he hadn’t protected her. She’d taken such a difficult path, and he couldn’t hate her.
He comforted Father Qiao tactfully. “Uncle, please forgive Qiao An. If even you’re unwilling to accept her, how can a single mother like her live with three children?”
Father Qiao was slightly stunned.
These days, he had spent every second in anger. Huo Xiaoran’s words aroused all his guilt. He suddenly cried bitterly.
“Xiaoran. I… I also know that I went overboard. But if I don’t punish her, she’ll always be on the wrong path.”
Huo Xiaoran did not know how he hung up. He returned home in a daze and threw himself onto the big bed. It was as if he was in a huge darkness. He felt an unprecedented despair.
Qiao An had actually given birth to three children for another man?
That fact hit him hard.
He didn’t understand. He loved her so much. Why wouldn’t she want to find him?
Meanwhile, Qiao An, who had no choice, finally chose to return to the capital. Why the capital? It was probably because she was worried about Huo Xiaoran. At the same time, she wanted to expose the sinister intentions of Lu Mo and her mother and not let Xiaoran be deceived by them.
This time, she didn’t stay in Huaman City. She rented a villa in Lu Mo’s villa district. The villa was diagonally opposite Lu Mo’s house and was in a very good location. Qiao An bought binoculars and could detect the Lu family’s activities every day.
However, Qiao An didn’t dare let the children wade into a dangerous and exciting life with her. So in order to keep the children safe, before Qiao An checked into the rented room, she deliberately sent the three children to Xiao Yue’s residence in Heavenly Imperial Garden.
It was eleven past midnight by then.
When Xiao Yue saw Qiao An and the three children standing at her door, she was stunned. She cried out in surprise, “Sister Qiao An. Where have you been? Do you know? We’ve been worried sick about you these past few days. Especially my cousin. He’s been looking for you like crazy.”
Qiao An smiled sweetly. “Yueyue, can you let me in?”
“Quick, quick.” Xiao Yue let Qiao An and the children into the house.
The children were so exhausted that they fell asleep in bed after a shower.
Only then was Qiao An able to pull away and chat with Xiao Yue on the sofa in the living room.
“Yueyue, I want to put the children in your care for a few days…”
Xiao Yue’s eyes widened. “Sister Qiao An, are you really willing to leave the children in my care?” she asked excitedly.
Qiao An nodded. “I’m going to do something. I can’t use my fists and legs if the kids are around.”
Xiao Yue said excitedly, “Are you going to investigate Lu Mo?”
Qiao An nodded and said with a solemn expression, “I have to expose their true colors as soon as possible and let Brother Xiaoran know about Lu Mo’s hypocritical face. Only then will he leave her openly, and the two elders of the Huo family can be convinced.”
Xiao Yue pouted. “Let Cousin Xiaoran handle such a matter himself. Why are you worried about him?”
Qiao An said, “Your cousin isn’t exactly cut out for dealing with emotional issues.”
Xiao Yue understood. “Are you afraid that he will suffer a relapse?”
Qiao An nodded.
Xiao Yue sighed. “You’re so good to Cousin. Unfortunately, Cousin doesn’t know how lucky he is.”
Qiao An smiled. “He deserves to be treated well.”
Qiao An took a locked diary from her bag and handed it to Xiao Yue. “Yueyue, I’m giving you this notebook. In it is the diet of each child. If you encounter a problem you can’t solve, flip through this parenting notebook.”
Xiao Yue took the notebook and flipped through it. Seeing that it recorded the children’s trivial experiences from birth to now, Xiao Yue was stunned. “Sister Qiao An, you’re really a super mom.”
Qiao An stood and said goodbye to Xiao Yue.
‘I’d better go. It won’t be good if someone finds me at dawn.’
Xiao Yue nodded. “Sister Qiao An, you have to be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve placed my life in your hands. I’ll definitely return safely.” With that, Qiao An put on her baseball cap and sunglasses. She glanced longingly at the children’s bedroom before leaving without looking back.
Xiao Yue stared at her back in a daze. To be honest, as an unmarried lady, she felt intense pressure at having to raise three children.
Just as she was wondering if she should send the child to Huo Xiaoran and let him, the biological father, take care of the them, Qiao An suddenly ran back hastily.
“Yueyue, I forgot to remind you. You can’t reveal the children’s appearance, especially Ki Ki” In order for Xiao Yue to take her advice seriously enough, Qiao An emphasized, “Otherwise, you’ll be killed.”
Xiao Yue was stunned. “You can’t even tell your cousin!”
“He’s a public figure. He gets a lot of attention for everything he says and does. If he gets too involved with the kids, he’ll only put them in danger.”
Xiao Yue was uneasy. “Sister Qiao An, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about the child’s background even if I die.”
“That’s good.”
Qiao An was submerged in the black night again.
As she turned into a cherry avenue, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the familiar buildings hidden in the cherry blossoms.
It was Xiao Ran’s courtyard.
Qiao An turned around and arrived at Huo Xiaoran’s courtyard.
