“Why?” Huo Zhou was puzzled. Qiao An was missing. Wasn’t Huo Xiaoran as anxious as if the end of the world was coming? Why did he suddenly stop looking?
“An’an already went home last night…” Huo Xiaoran said.
Huo Zhou did not reply for a long time.
He might have been so angry that he had gone crazy.
After a long while, Huo Zhou roared, “Huo Xiaoran, why didn’t you tell me you found Qiao An? Do you know how much money I used today? You have to compensate me.” Huo Zhou said angrily.
Huo Xiaoran nodded repeatedly. “I was so happy to have Qiao An home that I forgot about you. What compensation do you want? I’ll satisfy you.”
Huo Zhou rolled his eyes at him. “You have your love but don’t have any humanity. You forget your friends when it comes to love.”
After venting his emotions, Huo Zhou regained his composure. He was sincerely happy for Huo Xiaoran. “No matter what, you are finally together. I’m happy for you.”
Huo Xiaoran said happily, “In order to celebrate my reunion with An’an, I’ve decided to treat you tonight. You and Xiao Yue can come over for dinner.”
Huo Zhou was delighted. “Alright, then I’ll follow your orders.”
Huo Xiaoran announced another joyous matter and said, “Our Ki Ki won the global children’s martial arts competition. Let’s hold a celebration party for him tonight.”
Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.
Huo Zhou bluntly exposed Huo Xiaoran’s narrow-mindedness. “Xiaoran, this is your fault. The value of the Ki KIi’s children’s championship should be celebrated more than your reconciliation with Qiao An, right?”
Huo Xiaoran said vaguely, “Yes, that’s true, but my An’an has suffered so much for me. It’s only right for me to dote on her.”
Huo Zhou could hear something in Huo Xiaoran’s words. “I understand. Huo Xiaoran, Ki Ki isn’t your biological son, but Qiao An is your wife. Therefore, you’re biased. However, I support you.”
Huo Zhou would never be willing to invest in children who were not related by blood.
In comparison, Huo Xiaoran was much more humane.
In the evening, Huo Zhou and Xiao Yue arrived.
They had brought a lot of gifts for the children. Huo Zhou’s gift bag was very different. He had given Angel Qiao many good gifts and even gave her a huge bank card.
The gifts to Joey and Ki Ki was obviously much lighter. Each had only one gift, as if they were complimentary gifts from purchasing Angel Qiao’s items.
Huo Xiaoran glared at Huo Zhou and carefully reminded him, “Aren’t you being too obvious?”
Huo Zhou said, “Only Angel is the direct descendant of our family. Of course I have to dote on her more.”
Xiao Yue placed her hands on her hips and glared at the biased man. “You’re too much. This will hurt the children’s young heart.”
Huo Zhou said disapprovingly, “Reincarnation is a technical job. Who asked them not to be Xiaoran’s children?”
Xiao Yue smiled evilly. “You’ll regret it later.”
Before Qiao An and Ki Ki returned home, Huo Xiaoran rushed into the kitchen to prepare tonight’s dinner.
Although they were supposed to celebrate Ki Ki’s achievements, most of the dinner menu was to the preferences of Qiao An and Angel Qiao. These two loved sweets.
When Huo Zhou saw the dessert-focused dishes, he looked at Huo Xiaoran for a long time and said incredulously, “You still say that I’m biased. Aren’t you being too biased? The table is full of delicious dishes that your wife and daughter like, right?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “You’re a man. Why do you need to be so calculative towards the girls?”
Huo Zhou was speechless. How was he calculative?
At seven P.M., Jo Ann and Ki Ki finally came home.
Xiao Yue ran out happily and hugged Ki Ki. “Baby, you’re awesome. Auntie Yueyue is proud of you.”
Joey and Angel Joe also crowded around Ki Ki excitedly. “Brother, can you give me your trophy?” Angel asked.
“Yeah,” Ki Ki said coolly, behind his sunglasses.
Huo Xiaoran eagerly helped Qiao An carry her coat. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t look at Ki Ki, only Qiao An.
“An’an, are you tired? Are you hungry?”
Qiao An gave him a look, wishing he cared more about the child.
Only then did Huo Xiaoran’s gaze move to Ki Ki. He picked up the gift from Xiao Yue and Huo Zhou and asked him, “Do you like it?”
At this moment, Joey said, “I have them too, but I have more than you.”
Angel Qiao jumped up happily and said, “Brother, I have more than you too.”
Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou’s expressions instantly turned so awkward that they wanted to crawl into a hole.
However, Ki Ki was not so easy to fool. He looked at the mountain of gifts for Angel Qiao and then glanced at his own. He questioned Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou aggrievedly, “Why are my gifts so few?”
Huo Xiaoran was speechless. He could only look at Huo Zhou bitterly, hoping that Huo Zhou would help him solve the problem.
Huo Zhou was cold to children who were not related by blood. He said indifferently, “Ki Ki, you’re a boy. Boys don’t like toys, right?”
Although Ki Ki was more mature than children his age, he still could not understand their contempt for him. In the end, he gently placed the gift in Huo Xiaoran’s hand and said, “I don’t like this. Give it to my sister.”
Then he stepped back to face Qiao An.
Huo Xiaoran saw that the child was trying his best to endure the sadness and grievance of being treated unfairly. At that moment, he also felt that he shouldn’t have been biased. He walked up to Ki Ki and said, “What does Ki Ki like? Daddy will buy it for you.”
Ki Ki said, “Fair play. Can Daddy buy it?”
Huo Xiaoran was caught by surprise.
Qiao An watched as the child tried to hold back the urge to cry. She picked the child up and said, “I’ll accompany the child first. You guys eat dinner first.”
After Qiao An and Ki Ki went upstairs, Xiao Yue looked at the two men with schadenfreude. “Ki Ki is the most generous and bravest boy I’ve ever known. But you two demon lords managed to make him cry. Are you happy?”
Huo Zhou was also very aggrieved and muttered, “Our Huo family has always been protective of our relatives. I can’t please anyone other than our biological relatives.”
Xiao Yue asked Huo Xiaoran, “What about you?”
Huo Xiaoran stared blankly at the stairs. When he saw Qiao An’s eyes turn red just now, he knew that he had done very badly today.
He also understood that Qiao An had poured all her feelings into raising the children. Whether the children were her own or not, Qiao An would treat them equally.
And if he loved Qiao An, he had to fall into step with her and accept these three children from the bottom of his heart.
“Zhou Zhou, don’t do this again.” Huo Xiaoran reminded Huo Zhou sternly.
Huo Zhou patted his shoulder. “As long as you can treat them as your own, I’ll respect your decision.”
Upstairs, Qiao An hugged Ki Ki and helped him take off his sunglasses. She wiped his tears and then comforted the child. “Baby, it’s not that Daddy and Uncle don’t like you. They just misunderstood you. If they knew that my Ki Ki had the same blood as them, they would dote on you very much. Love you like they dote on your Angel sister.”
