Chapter 538 - 538 Xiaoran’s Domineeringness

538 Xiaoran’s Domineeringness

In the house, Huo Xiaoran was sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard and resting with his eyes closed. However, he was hugging Ki Ki in his arms. The tears on Ki Ki’s face were still wet.

After recovering his memory, even Huo Xiaoran’s vigilance had increased by a few levels. Sensing that someone was approaching, he suddenly opened his bright eyes.

Seeing Angel, Xiao Ran’s red eyes overflowed with a desire to smile.

He held out his hand. “Baby, come here.”

!!

Angel placed the steamed bun in his palm. “Daddy, you didn’t eat much yesterday. You must be hungry. This is the steamed bun Aunt gave me. Eat it.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at the steamed bun and recalled the fire for no reason. His heart skipped a beat.

He shouldn’t have failed to protect Qiao An. He couldn’t let anything happen to the children.

Xiao Ran said to the angel, “Don’t eat what others give you in the future. Daddy will make breakfast for you immediately.”

At this moment, perhaps because of fatherly love, he washed away his depression and carefully left Ki Ki on the bed. Then he stood up shakily.

Angel quickly held him considerately.

“Daddy. Why don’t you rest? I’ll make breakfast?”

Xiaoran was stunned. Calculating the time, he had left the capital for four years. The children were only eight years old, but Angel could take care of his parents.

He felt both lost and comforted.

“Angel, Daddy will do it for you.” Let other people’s children be independent, he thought. He had to dote on his children. It didn’t matter if they were doted on like mollusks.

Angel sighed helplessly. She carefully helped her father out of the bedroom.

Huo Xiaoran came to the kitchen. When Xing Xiaoya saw him, she couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes. “Brother Xing Chen.” She stood up excitedly and her shy gaze landed on Huo Xiaoran’s dispirited face.

Even though Huo Xiaoran was dispirited, he still had the elegance of a down-and-out noble. Every aspect of him had his own charm.

Xing Xiaoya only felt regret. Xing Chen’s decline was for Qiao An. If only it was for her.

Angel said politely to Xing Xiaoya, “Aunt, my daddy wants to cook.”

Xing Xiaoya immediately brought out a large pot of clear porridge and all kinds of steamed buns. As if presenting a treasure, she said, “Brother Xing Chen, I’ve already made breakfast. It’s enough for your friends.” It was obvious that she had woken up early to make it.

Angel was grateful to Xiao Ya. “Wow, thank you, Aunt.”

Huo Xiaoran’s face was dark and his eyes were deep.

Xing Xiaoya waited for him to praise her and thank her. However, after a long time, she did not hear Xiaoran’s voice. She looked at him timidly.

Xiaoran’s deep eyes were like an abyss that wanted to absorb people. Xing Xiaoya immediately felt uneasy.

“Brother Xing Chen…”

“Call me Huo Xiaoran in the future.”

Xing Xiaoya widened her eyes in shock. “Brother Xing Chen, have you regained your memory?” Huo Xiaoran’s charm was different from Xing Chen’s in the past. He had a powerful sense of alienation around him, which was the deterrence of a high position.

Huo Xiaoran frowned slightly. “It has nothing to do with recovering my memory.” He just didn’t like being Xingchen, a man who was schemed against and was so cowardly that he couldn’t even protect the woman he loved.

Moreover, his An’an did not like the Xing Chen that could not figure things out. This was because Xing Chen would always tolerate Xing Xiaoya time and time again for the sake of Father XIng saving his life.

The ambitious delusions that had ignited in Xing Xiaoya’s heart, such as being a stepmother to her child and accompanying Xingchen back to the big city, were all extinguished by Huo Xiaoran’s strong sense of boundaries.

“Brother Xing Chen, what did I do wrong? Why don’t you want me anymore?” she muttered aggrievedly with teary eyes.

In the past, if she had humbled herself and cried, Xing Chen would more or less pity her. But now, Huo Xiaoran felt extremely disgusted.

“Xing Xiaoya, we’re strangers, to begin with. I’ve already repaid what I owe your father. And I don’t owe you.”

Xing Xiaoya cried, “But my father entrusted me to you?”

Huo Xiaoran said calmly, “Why should I listen to your father?”

“Brother Xing Chen, my father saved your life. Aren’t you being ungrateful by saying such things?” Xing Xiaoya used the same trick and even tried to threaten Huo Xiaoran with her life.

Huo Xiaoran glared at her in disgust. “Xing Xiaoya, it’s true that your father saved my life, but shouldn’t you and your father be grateful to me too? You sold the jewelry on me and paid off your debt to steal a few years of peaceful life? Xing Xiaoya, don’t be too greedy. Otherwise, you’ll have nothing.”

Xing Xiaoya’s body trembled like a sieve. Xing Chen had indeed regained his memory. He actually remembered the valuable items he had on him.

“Brother Xing Chen, my father didn’t think of repayment for saving you. Really…” Xing Xiaoya tried to persuade Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Is that so? Since you don’t want anything in return, return my jewelry to me. They’re very important to me.”

Xing Xiaoya pretended to be stupid and said, “What jewelry? I don’t know?”

Seeing her clumsy acting, Huo Xiaoran shouted in disgust, “Get lost.”

Xing Xiaoya was in so much pain from his blatant disdain that she hugged her head and left in tears.

Huo Xiaoran had just heaved a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw Angel looking at him in fear. Angel said fearfully, “Daddy, you’re so fierce.”

Huo Xiaoran really wanted to slap himself. He was extremely vexed. While he was angry at Xing Xiaoya, how could he forget that his daughter was still by his side?

Angel didn’t know the ins and outs. She had probably misunderstood him as an unreasonable cold-blooded animal.

Huo Xiaoran walked up to Angel and gently rubbed her hair. Then, he leaned over and kissed her head. “I’m sorry, Angel. Daddy shouldn’t have let you see this.”

“Don’t worry, Daddy won’t treat you like this. Xing Xiaoya did something wrong, so Daddy scolded her angrily.”

Angel’s trauma was healed by her daddy’s gentle actions. When she heard that Xing Xiaoya had done something wrong, she naturally chose to believe her daddy.

The child’s face was like the sky in June.

“Daddy. I see.” Her sunny smile returned.

She smiled like her mother. When Xiao Ran saw Angel, his heart ached even more.

He missed Qiao An so much.

After making breakfast for the children and serving the three ancestors, he woke Huo Zhou up and especially reminded him, “Zhou Zhou, I’m going out for a while. Help me keep an eye on the children.”

...

His words made Huo Zhou’s nose sting.

“Xiaoran, have you regained your memory?”

Huo Xiaoran nodded.

Huo Zhou was overjoyed. “This is great. I can finally hand the children to you without worry.”
