Chapter 555 - 555 Return to the Capital, Falcon's Regret

555 Return to the Capital, Falcon’s Regret

The atmosphere was a little cold.

Awkwardness filled the air between Xiao Ming and Xiao Ran. It probably stemmed from their mutual admiration for Qiao An.

Huo Zhou was sandwiched between them and racked his brain to adjust the atmosphere.

“Do the two of you want to say something?” Huo Zhou looked at Xiao Ran and then at Xiao Ming.

Huo Xiaoran went straight to the point and said bluntly, “Xiao Ming, you’re not young anymore. Shouldn’t you find a girlfriend and let Joey have a complete family?”

Xiao Ming pursed his lips. “Xiaoran, you can’t wait for me to find a girlfriend because you’re afraid that I’ll snatch your Qiao An away? You’re really overthinking. If Qiao An’s heart was even a little on me, it wouldn’t be your turn to meet her today.”

Huo Xiaoran’s face drooped. “No matter what, thank you for taking care of my wife and children for me in the past few years. But now that I’m back, you don’t have to worry about this.”

Xiao Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Huo Xiaoran was really jealous.

Seeing the rivalry between the two of them, Huo Zhou quickly changed the topic. “Xiaoran, you know that Qiao An is so beautiful and kind. It’s really difficult for single men to resist her charm. In this world, Xiao Ming isn’t the only one who treats Qiao An this way. There’s also your nephew, Li Zecheng, who uses work as an excuse to hang around Qiao An. There are also those elite men from your Angel Group. It’s hard to say that they weren’t conquered by Qiao An’s personal charm.”

Huo Xiaoran only felt a headache.

However, when he thought about how he’d been attracted to Qiao An’s beauty and smile the first time he’d seen her, he naturally knew that she was immensely charming.

However, he was a natural lion. No one was allowed to interfere in his territory.

He clenched his fists and said sinisterly, “I’ll arrange a marriage for Li Zecheng later.”

With that, he looked at Xiao Ming sharply. He needed Xiao Ming to make a statement.

Xiao Ming said helplessly, “Alright, alright. I’ll go on a blind date later too. Come on.”

Only then did Huo Xiaoran let it go.

After the matter was discussed, Xiao Ran and Xiao Ming chatted freely. Huo Zhou felt that Xiao Ming and Huo Xiaoran were really strange. These two people could distinguish between public and private matters, and their relationship could rationally be targeted. They were simply two strange people.

The car drove for a day and night before finally returning to the capital’s Heavenly Imperial Garden.

Before getting out of the car, Huo Zhou deliberately asked for Huo Xiaoran’s opinion. “Xiaoran, I haven’t told my family that you’re coming home this time. I think you might need some time to adjust. You can see Grandpa and Grandma after you get used to life here?”

Huo Xiaoran nodded. “That’s for the best.”

Hence, Huo Xiaoran, Qiao An, and the others quietly got out of the car.

Huo Zhou and Xiao Ming returned to their homes.

After four years, he returned to his home again. Huo Xiaoran sighed in his heart.

The furnishings of the house had not changed. Even the decorations remained the same as when he left.

Because of this familiar environment, Huo Xiaoran’s memories naturally matched his past memories.

After hugging their parents, the children returned to their rooms to shower and rest.

Qiao An accompanied the quiet Huo Xiaoran and looked at him quietly. “Did you think of anything?”

Huo Xiaoran hugged Qiao An. “An’an, my memories should have all recovered.”

Qiao An said, “That would be best.”

She thought of the children’s grandfather and Xiaoran’s father, Falcon. For four years, Falcon had been living in guilt. Now that Xiaoran was home, it was time to untie the knot in Falcon’s heart.

Qiao An took the opportunity to ask, “Brother Xiaoran, your father… When are you going to visit him?”

Xiao Ran was suddenly stunned. If Qiao An hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have thought of Falcon at all.

However, with Qiao An’s reminder, Xiao Ran woke up from a dream. There was still someone important in his life—his father.

Xiao Ran said, “How is he now?”

Qiao An said, “He came back four years ago. But he’s been living in guilt. He probably couldn’t be happy when he thought that his life had been exchanged with that of his son. He hasn’t been very happy these past few years.”

Xiao Ran sighed.

Qiao An said, “Brother Xiaoran, take a few days off and go see him. I think he’ll be very happy to know that you’re back.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Then I’ll take a shower and go see him tonight.”

Qiao An nodded. “Okay.”

She turned and walked toward the cloakroom. “Go fill the water. I’ll find you clean clothes.”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly pulled her back. Qiao An turned around and looked at him. Huo Xiaoran’s beautiful and charming eyes were filled with flames.

“An’an, come with me,” he murmured into her ear. “We haven’t bathed in a long time.”

“Well…” Qiao An looked at the bedroom door. “It’s not good for the children to see it.”

Huo Xiaoran hugged her and wheedled like a child. “You only care about the younger ones and don’t care about the older one?”

Qiao An instantly melted. “Fine.”

Huo Xiaoran walked to the door and locked the bedroom door. Then, he carried Qiao An to the bathroom.

“My injuries…”

“They can touch water by now. I’ll be careful.’

“Ah…”

……

When Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran came out of the bathroom, Qiao An had already collapsed on the bed in exhaustion.

The bedroom door suddenly trembled. Angel shouted anxiously, “Mommy, what’s wrong? I think I heard your scream.”

Embarrassed, Qiao An pulled the blanket over her face.

Huo Xiaoran slowly put on his clothes. Then, he walked to the door, opened it, and said to Angel, “Mommy is fine.”

Angel looked at his father suspiciously. “Daddy, did you hit Mommy?”

Huo Xiaoran was stunned.

Then he said, “Angel, Daddy doesn’t hit women.”

“You’re lying. You hit Xing Xiaoya.”

Huo Xiaoran was speechless.

Huo Xiaoran turned around, hoping that Qiao An would say something fair. However, Qiao An buried herself in the blanket and refused to come out.

Huo Xiaoran could not defend himself.

“Angel, Daddy really didn’t bully Mommy.”

At that moment, Ki Ki walked over and pulled Angel away.

“Brother, didn’t you hear me? Mommy called out just now.” Angel struggled.

“Daddy and Mommy are conceiving younger siblings for us. Are you going to interfere in this?”

Angel was enlightened. She turned around and raised her hand to Huo Xiaoran. “Daddy, all the best.”

Huo Xiaoran looked embarrassed.

He closed the door and pulled Qiao An out of the blanket.

Qiao An’s face was as red as a monkey’s butt. She glared at Huo Xiaoran and said angrily, “I told you, the children are at home, but you still tortured me like that.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “It’s fine. The children are old. They already understand and won’t come looking for trouble in the future. There’s no need for us to explain.”

Qiao An punched him. “You’re so bad.”
