Chapter 556 - 556 Father and Son Reunion

556 Father and Son Reunion

After dinner, Qiao An brought Huo Xiaoran to her father, Falcon’s apartment. The apartment was assigned by the police unit. Falcon had chosen to live in the apartment for the past few years and had dedicated the light and heat of the rest of his life to work.

Huo Xiaoran looked at the tall building. Dark yellow light seeped out of the dense windows. It was obvious that it was a small apartment.

Huo Xiaoran felt rather uncomfortable. His father had been running around his entire life and was unwilling to go home and enjoy life even when he was old. Everyone said that he had let his wife and son down, but Xiaoran realized that he had let himself down even more.

Qiao An said, “The children and I repeatedly asked him to return to manor, but he said that he was used to a simple life. Actually, I know that Dad doesn’t dare to relax. He’s always thinking about his brothers who fought alongside him and died tragically midway. So he can’t wait to work twenty-four hours a day. He can’t wait to impart all his experience battling narcotics to the younger generation. Only then will he feel better.”

Huo Xiaoran felt a lump in his throat and said resentfully, “This earth will still turn without him.”

He walked in with a dark expression.

Qiao An didn’t follow him. She said behind him, “Brother Xiaoran, I’ll wait for you downstairs. You and your father must have a lot to say. I won’t disturb you.”

Huo Xiaoran didn’t force her and only reminded Qiao An, “An’an, stay safe.”

“Okay.”

Qiao An watched as Huo Xiaoran disappeared into the elevator.

Ding…

The bell kept ringing in Falcon’s room.

Falcon was sitting under the lamp and working. He was wearing earphones and listening to a video. Perhaps he was so engrossed in his work that he didn’t hear the bell.

Huo Xiaoran looked at the fingerprint lock and casually entered his mother’s birthday on it before opening it himself.

He walked into the room, but saw Falcon sitting in the study built on the living room balcony. He tiptoed over, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

After sitting for a few minutes, Falcon still didn’t notice him.

Huo Xiaoran’s expression darkened. This person’s vigilance was so bad. He was really lucky to be able to return alive after being a spy for decades.

In order to attract Falcon’s attention, Huo Xiaoran walked to the switch on the wall and turned off the light.

The room darkened instantly. This huge change finally attracted Falcon’s attention. He looked up and vaguely saw the figure of the intruder in the house.

Without thinking, Falcon somersaulted forward and fought with Huo Xiaoran.

At the last moment, Huo Xiaoran turned on the electric light.

When Falcon’s fierce fist approached Huo Xiaoran’s face, Falcon suddenly saw Xiao Ran’s face and his actions froze in the air.

“Xiaoran,” he roared in disbelief.

Huo Xiaoran moved his fist away, then swaggered to the sofa and sat down.

He reached for the fruit plate on the coffee table, but when he saw that the fruit skin was a little wet, he threw it back to the fruit plate in disdain.

“I heard from An’an that you’d rather live in this shabby room than go home?”

Falcon’s mood switched between excitement, surprise, and uneasiness.

Seeing that Xiao Ran despised his fruits, he quickly took out all the fruits given by others from the corner and took them to the kitchen to wash them clean before putting them out.

“Xiaoran, eat this.”

The two fruit platters were filled.

Huo Xiaoran still had a straight face. “How can I eat so many fruits?”

Falcon smiled. “Dad doesn’t know what you like to eat. So I wash some of every fruit.”

Huo Xiaoran teased, “Looks like your life is quite comfortable.”

Falcon said, “This is all for Angel and the others. The children come over every week. They love it.”

Huo Xiaoran was stunned. “Qiao An brought the child over?”

Falcon said, “Yeah.”

It was unknown what Huo Xiaoran thought of, but he suddenly sighed in disappointment. “She’s so filial to you, but she didn’t do her duty to her father. It seems that I’ve neglected my duty as a son-in-law.”

Falcon nodded. “That’s right. Xiaoran, go back and see your father-in-law more often when you’re free.”

Xiao Ran glared at Falcon speechlessly. “Don’t you know the reason for my negligence?” He had the cheek to criticize him.

Falcon smiled honestly.

Huo Xiaoran stood up. “I’m prepared to bring Father-in-law up to stay with us, but he’s from a different generation from us after all. I’m afraid he’ll feel lonely if he can’t integrate into our family. So, I want you to accompany him?”

Falcon was dumbfounded.

He was not stupid. Huo Xiaoran had ulterior motives. He was using such a method to force him to go home.

“Xiaoran, if you want me to go home, just say it.”

“Can I really say it clearly?” Huo Xiaoran looked at him.

“We’re father and son and friends. There’s nothing that can’t be said between us.”

Huo Xiaoran said bluntly, “In that case, I’ll say it. All these years, Qiao An and I have suffered. It’s easy to love but difficult to stay together. I haven’t taken her on a trip yet. Speaking of which, I owe her a lot.”

“Now, I want to make it up to her. But the children are so young. We’re all thinking about them wherever they go. So I hope you and my father-in-law can help us watch the children for a few years so that Qiao An and I can be liberated and live a few years of freedom.”

Falcon was stunned.

“You’re really not polite at all.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “You didn’t take care of me when I was young. Helping me take care of the children now can be considered making it up to me, right?”

Falcon was speechless.

Huo Xiaoran said confidently, “If you don’t agree, we can hire a nanny. However, how can a nanny be the same as a grandfather?”

Falcon quickly waved his hand. “No, how can a nanny take good care of my good grandchildren? A genius like Ki Ki is not someone ordinary people can take care of.”

...

Huo Xiaoran said, “Then teach him? You’re so good at martial arts. Teach him how to practice boxing. My father-in-law is a teacher. He can teach the children literature. If my children are good at martial arts, I will be relieved.”

“But my job…” Falcon hesitated.

“You’ve done justice to the country in this life. Atonement for me and Mom is next. Take good care of the children. When you die in the future, my mother can reconcile with you in the underworld.”

Although these words were rough, Falcon understood them.

He wanted to make it up to his wife, but the heavens did not give him a chance. Helping Xiaoran take care of the child now must be her wish.

Falcon was tempted.

“Alright then. Give me some time to deal with the work in my hands.”

“Yeah.”

The father and son chatted happily.

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t bear to see Qiao An wait for too long, so he bade farewell to Falcon and left quickly.

Falcon’s heart overflowed with the loving happiness of an old father for Xiao Ran’s sudden visit.
