“But Mommy doesn’t even know how to make pork buns,” said Angel Joe.

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh. The more talented Qiao An was in literature, the lousier she was in art. It should be difficult for her to create a pattern of small animals by hand.

Huo Xiaoran reminded the child, “Just look for Daddy if you want to eat anything in the future. You don’t have to look for Mommy.”

Joey and Angel Qiao nodded happily. “Yeah.”

After serving the two children’s breakfast, Huo Xiaoran carried the steaming breakfast upstairs.

Qiao An was probably too tired last night. Coupled with the fact that she had been tortured by Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s wedding recently, she was in a rare good mood. This sleep seemed to be making up for all the sleep she had lost.

It was eleven o’clock, but Qiao An showed no signs of waking up.

Huo Xiaoran sat by the bed and helped her tidy up the hair on her forehead behind her ears. Qiao An whimpered, and Huo Xiaoran smiled.

“Time to get up, sleepyhead.”

He knew Qiao An had a habit of lazing in bed, but he hadn’t expected it to be so bad.

Qiao An slowly opened her eyes, but suddenly shouted in a low voice, “Brother Xiaoran, it hurts.”

Huo Xiaoran instantly became nervous. “Where does it hurt?”

Qiao An said, “My whole body hurts.”

Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize that he was the source of Qiao An’s pain. He coaxed patiently, “I’ll be gentler next time.”

Qiao An knew he’d been holding back enough last night.

“Brother Xiaoran, let’s go get our marriage certificate. I want a family.” She hugged his neck and wheedled.

“Okay. I’ll arrange to propose to you as soon as possible.”

“Brother Xiaoran, I don’t need a proposal or a wedding. I just need a legal home,” Qiao An said.

Huo Xiaoran looked into Qiao An’s clear and serious eyes and was extremely shocked.

He sighed at the difference between the girls. When Lu Mo was getting married, she wanted the most expensive ring, wedding dress, and the greatest extravagance. She couldn’t wait to show off her wealth to everyone.

But Qiao An was too low-key. She didn’t care about the proposal ceremony or the ring. She just wanted a stable home.

He asked her gently, “What about the ring? What kind do you want?”

Qiao An thought for a moment. “I want the DR ring. I hear they can only allow customers to buy one wedding ring in their lifetime. I want to take up your slot.”

Huo Xiaoran’s voice was a little hoarse. “Okay.”

“Save the rest,” Qiao An said.

Huo Xiaoran buried his face in hers and begged her like a child, “An’an, I want a wedding. Can I?”

He didn’t want his girl to miss out. He was going to welcome her to his home in style.

Qiao An hugged him. “If that’s your obsession, I’ll oblige. But don’t be extravagant.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Okay.”

He pushed his luck again. “What about the proposal ceremony?”

Qiao An giggled. “I’ll do it. You don’t need to propose.”

Huo Xiaoran scratched her nose. “Smart girl.”

The two of them were deep in love when Qiao An’s phone suddenly rang.

Qiao An picked up the phone, and on the other end came a victory report from Ki Ki’s coach. “Mom of Ki Ki, I’m telling you, Ki Ki has won the competition. The kid is amazing. He’s our pride and joy.”

Qiao An was instantly dumbfounded.

Ki Ki actually won the martial arts competition?

“Mom of Ki Ki, are you listening?”

“Oh, I’m listening.”

“Ki Ki’s plane will arrive at six this afternoon. Please attend the ceremony to welcome the champion.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Qiao An snapped back. Ecstatic.

After hanging up, Qiao An excitedly shared this good news with Huo Xiaoran. “Brother Xiaoran, our Ki Ki won the martial arts competition. Ki Ki is returning to the country this afternoon. I have to quickly prepare for the welcome ceremony.”

Ki Ki?

Huo Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his senses. Ki Ki was also Qiao An’s child. As for whether he was her biological son, judging from the probability of twins and single babies, it was most likely not.

Given that Qiao An usually protected Ki Ki too well, Huo Xiaoran had almost no interaction with him. Huo Xiaoran had never even seen his face, so his feelings for him were naturally not as strong compared to Angel Qiao.

Moreover, Huo Xiaoran was already very satisfied to have an extremely cute daughter like Angel Qiao. He did not dare to hope for more.

Therefore, when Qiao An suggested that they leave Angel Qiao and Joey at Xiao Yue’s house and they would hold a welcome party for Ki Ki, Huo Xiaoran rejected Qiao An’s suggestion. “An’an, it wasn’t easy for me to reunite with my precious daughter, Angel. I don’t want her to think that Daddy is biased towards Brother.”

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

She actually saw through Huo Xiaoran’s thoughts at a glance.

He favored their daughter, Angel Joe. Although he hid it extremely well, how could he escape her fiery eyes?

The way he looked at the Angel was obviously gentler and more doting. It was a fatherly look that could melt hearts. But with Joey, he had a sense of propriety and distance.

Now, his sense of propriety and distance were reflected in Ki Ki. Presumably, he still didn’t know that Ki Ki was his biological son, so he prioritized the feelings towards Angel.

Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran with a hint of cunning and calculation in her eyes. “Alright. Since you can’t bear to be separated from Angel, you can stay at home and take care of the children. I’ll pick up Ki Ki.”

Huo Xiaoran was a little hesitant. He probably couldn’t bear to separate from Qiao An. “Why don’t we bring Joey and Angel along?”

Qiao An’s smile was sly. She slapped a hand to her head, troubled. “Ki Ki is already a headache. Put the three of them together and the earth would explode.”

Huo Xiaoran had even less affection for the Demon King. Who asked that bastard to bully his wife and make her life difficult?

In the afternoon, when Qiao An went out, she asked Huo Xiaoran, “Are you sure you don’t want to pick up Ki Ki?”

Huo Xiaoran and Angel Qiao were playing a parent-child game. Huo Xiaoran looked satisfied. “An’an, can I bring Angel along?”

Qiao An thought the guy was hopeless.

“Brother Xiaoran, I hope you can be a little more loving.”

Huo Xiaoran understood what Qiao An meant and said proudly, “You know that I’ve always been devoted to my feelings.”

Qiao An’s smile was oblique. “Well, I hope you don’t regret it.”

After Qiao An left, Huo Xiaoran received a call from Huo Zhou. Huo Zhou said to Huo Xiaoran apologetically, “Xiaoran, I’m sorry. Our people have searched almost the entire city, but we can’t find any traces of Qiao An and the children. I hope you can be stronger… and accept this cruel reality.”

Huo Xiaoran swallowed his saliva.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already three in the afternoon. So Huo Zhou had been helping him find someone since yesterday?

Huo Xiaoran’s attitude became even more guilty. “Well… there’s actually no need to look around.”
