Chapter 322: Making Up

Qiao An smiled brightly. When she was the Li family’s wife, she was a 24-hour housekeeping machine. After leaving the Li family, she became the children’s housekeeping machine. Every day, when she opened her eyes, she had endless housekeeping to do. She washed, cooked, mopped the floor, and did everything.

When Huo Xiaoran said to her that this was not her job, she didn’t feel at ease. She even said embarrassedly, “Brother Xiaoran, I can do it. Don’t let them laugh at me.”

Huo Xiaoran said seriously, “I didn’t marry you for you to do housework.”

“So what do I do? Make vases?” Qiao An laughed.

“Just warm my bed for me,” Huo Xiaoran said in a low voice.

Jo Ann blushed and pushed him away. “You’re not serious.”

Huo Xiaoran was so skilled at clearing the dishes that Huo Zhou couldn’t help but tease him. “Xiaoran, I didn’t expect you to be so skilled at housework.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “This business concerns my family harmony and my lifelong happiness. How can I not be familiar with it?”

Xiao Yue was so envious. “Ah, Cousin, you’re really the model husband of the new era.”

Huo Zhou rolled his eyes at Huo Xiaoran and said in disdain, “How can you let other men live like this?”

Xiao Yue and Huo Zhou went against each other. “Big Cousin, no wonder no woman wants you at your age. You don’t have the awareness of second cousin. You have to change your personality.”

Huo Zhou looked at Xiao Yue speechlessly. “Speak properly. What do you mean no woman wants me? Don’t you see the women chasing after me every day? However, I looked down on them and didn’t give them a chance.”

Xiao Yue suddenly held Huo Zhou’s hand and asked, “Cousin, what type of girl do you like? I’ll help you find one.”

Huo Zhou looked at her. “Like you.”

Xiao Yue immediately touched her face proudly. “What’s so good about me?”

Huo Zhou said, “You’re stupid and rich.”

Xiao Yue was so angry that she punched him. “Are you scolding me?”

Huo Zhou smiled.

Qiao An took Ki Ki aside and hugged him. Then she whispered in his ear to soothe him. “Tell Mommy if Ki Ki is angry with Daddy and Uncle today.”

Qiao An was the child’s mother. She could tell at a glance what the child was thinking.

In the past, no matter how much Ki Ki disliked the food on the table, he would not ruin it. But today, he deliberately picked out Huo Zhou and Xiaoran’s dishes.

Ki Ki said miserably, “They don’t love me, so I don’t love them.”

Qiao An said, “Ki Ki, there’s no such thing as love for no reason. Mom doesn’t love other people’s children because Mom has limited energy. Dad and Uncle are the same. They only love their children. That’s all.”

“As you can see, they already know that you’re a child of the Huo family, so they’re trying their best to make it up to you. Ki Ki, Daddy and Uncle are both people who do not answer to anyone. They never bow their heads to anyone outside. Daddy and Uncle are so humble to please you. You should cherish their love for you and not ignore their efforts.”

“If you keep giving others the cold shoulder, over time, it will chill their hearts.”

Ki Ki nodded tearfully. “I know I was wrong, Mommy.”

Qiao An patted her son’s face. She knew Ki Ki was more mature than his peers. He could understand her.

“Go. Go say hello to Daddy officially.”

Ki Ki came to the kitchen. Huo Xiaoran saw him leaning against the door and looking a little reserved.

He washed his hands and came over. Gently, he took Ki Ki into his arms. “I’m sorry, son. It’s Daddy’s fault today. I shouldn’t have snubbed you.”

Ki Ki suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and called out warmly, “Daddy.”

Huo Xiaoran was shocked and a powerful joy burst out in his heart.

He hugged him tightly, tears of joy streaming down his face. “Yes.”

Qiao An walked over and smiled faintly when she saw the image of father and son hugging. She reached out and stroked the heads of Huo Xiaoran and Ki Ki. “I’ve finally returned them to you.”

Huo Xiaoran looked up and sighed. “An’an, I’m too happy. I feel that my life is already complete. Thank you, thank you for giving me such a warm and happy family.”

Ki Ki looked up and asked Mommy, “So, we don’t have to move anymore, right?”

Qiao An felt guilty. “You’re old enough to go to school. You should not be moving around anymore.”

Huo Xiaoran made the final decision. “No, we won’t move anymore.”

Only then did a look of delight cross Ki Ki’s face.

Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An walked out of the kitchen and saw that Xiao Yue and Huo Zhou were still arguing.

Xiao Yue placed her hands on her hips and scolded like a shrew, “Huo Zhou, a man who thinks he’s the king just because he has some money can’t find true love. You have to change.”

Huo Zhou’s face was ashen. “What about you? You gave yourself to a young hunk who sells himself and even treated him like a treasure. If your eyes aren’t good, go see a doctor.”

… .

Qiao An paled.

When the two of them quarreled, they lost their intelligence and blurted out a lot of shocking details.

Sensing that something was wrong, Huo Xiaoran berated the two of them, “Stop arguing.”

Huo Zhou and Xiao Yue fell silent. When they turned their heads and saw Qiao An’s stiff and pale face, Huo Zhou realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have.

Qiao An approached Huo Zhou and asked him, “Is my Qiao He really selling himself to get promoted?”

Huo Zhou said, “Yes.”

Qiao An trembled. She turned to look at Xiao Yue. “Yueyue, did you know about this?”

Xiao Yue’s eyes turned red. “Qiao He has his reasons.”

Qiao An said, “Whatever his reasons, he shouldn’t have chosen the shortcut.”

Qiao An looked as sick as a frosted eggplant. “It’s my fault for not watching him properly.”

Xiao Yue cried, “Sister Qiao An, don’t blame him. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It’s my fault. My parents despise him for being so old and useless. In order to become famous and marry me, Qiao He has to fight for those good scripts. But as you know, he doesn’t have money or power. Other than taking shortcuts, it’s impossible for him to come into contact with good dramas in a short period of time, let alone play the male lead.”

Qiao An closed her eyes sadly. Sighing. “The gap in status has never been friendly enough to the poor.”

She knew best because when she married into the Li family back then, she had also experienced the despair of being despised and suppressed by her in-laws.

Huo Xiaoran held Qiao An’s hand and tried his best to promise, “An’an, I won’t let you have such a bad feeling. In our family, you’ll always be the queen.”

Qiao An smiled charmingly.

Huo Xiaoran pulled her into his arms and comforted her. “I’ve been too busy recently and neglected your family. Don’t worry, I’ll bring Qiao He to the right path.”

“Brother Xiaoran, this will trouble you.”

“There’s no need for formalities between us.”
