563 Provoking Huo Zhou, Happy Breakup
Huo Zhou was stunned.
Huo Xiaoran shopped at the clothes shop and came to the daily products shop. He chose and bought Qiao An a month’s worth of sanitary pads.
Huo Zhou couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted, “Xiaoran, you’re really a fatherly husband. Why are you taking care of her this way?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “You’re not a fish. How can you know the joy of being a fish?”
Huo Zhou said, “How can you know that I don’t know the joy of being a fish?”
The two brothers walked and stopped, shopping at the children’s clothing store, and then at the jewelry store. Huo Zhou looked at the shopping bags in his and Xiaoran’s hands and shook his head and sighed. “Xiaoran, you’re so humble in front of Qiao An that my heart aches. Shouldn’t you go buy some clothes for yourself?”
Xiao Ran said calmly, “Another day.”
Huo Zhou was stunned.
“Didn’t you especially come out to buy clothes for yourself? In the end, you bought a pile for your wife and children, but you didn’t buy any for yourself?”
Huo Zhou glanced at Xiaoran’s clothes and said, “Let’s go. Cousin will buy it for you.”
The two of them arrived at the men’s clothing shop. In the resting area, Huo Zhou and Xiaoran had just stored the shopping bags in their hands when they turned around and saw Qiao An leading Sisi over with a young hunk.
The young hunk was imposing, young, and handsome. He and Sisi walked side by side. Sisi was empty-handed, but the boy was carrying a few large bags of girls’ things.
It was obvious that he was helping Sisi.
When Sisi saw Huo Zhou, the two of them were stunned on the spot.
Xiao Ran’s gaze stopped on Qiao An. Her hands were filled with bags of men’s clothes. Huo Xiaoran quickly went up to her and said in a slightly sour tone, “An’an, who did you buy so many clothes for?”
Qiao An smiled. “Most of them are yours. There are also two pieces for Father.”
Xiao Ran smiled brightly and rubbed her head. Her soft hair made his palm feel numb.
“It’s been hard on you, An’an.”
“You just got back. There weren’t enough clothes. So I bought you some.”
Xiaoran pulled her into his arms and said, “With you by my side, I’m the happiest person in the world.”
The awkward Sisi and Huo Zhou were diverted by Qiao An and Xiaoran’s public displays of affection. Huo Zhou looked at Qiao An’s shopping bags that was filled with men’s clothes and fell into deep thought.
He had just felt that Xiaoran was really pitiful; he seemed concerned about everyone in the family, but he just couldn’t care less about himself.
So someone was watching over him.
He and Qiao An only had eyes for each other. It felt good.
“Why are you here?” Xiaoran asked.
Qiao An tugged the hand of the boy with one hand and Sisi’s hand with the other. She walked up to Huo Xiaoran and introduced, “Brother Xiaoran, his name is Bai An. He’s a top lawyer. Although he’s young, he’s very famous in the industry. Not only is Bai An young and promising, but he’s also very gentlemanly. I just introduced him to Sisi. They’ll be nurturing their relationship. Therefore, urge your cousin to quickly get the divorce certification with Sisi.”
Huo Zhou’s face alternated between green and white.
He looked at Qiao An angrily. “An’an, isn’t this too fast?”
Qiao An handed Sisi’s hand to Bai An and walked up to Huo Zhou. She reminded him solemnly, “Zhou Zhou, it’s easier said than done. You don’t love Sisi, so you can’t experience the torture and despair of being separated from your lover. But Sisi needs redemption.”
Huo Zhou glanced at Sisi uneasily. Seeing the haggardness on her face, his heart tightened.
He said nothing more.
At this moment, Sisi said in a low voice, “Zhou… Mr. Huo…”
Her distant address made Huo Zhou especially disgusted. After all, they had been together for four years and were already as close as family. Now, she was even more distant than a stranger. This huge difference made Huo Zhou very disappointed.
“It was my fault in the past. I was too obsessed with you. I made your life very painful. Last night, I figured it out. I’ll let you go and let myself go. So, choose a time and we’ll get the divorce certificate. I can also start a new relationship openly.”
Huo Zhou said coldly, “Can you really invest in a new relationship so quickly?”
Sisi said, “I’ll use all my strength to forget you.”
Huo Zhou was speechless.
Qiao An timed it and stuffed the shopping bag to Huo Xiaoran. Then, she said in a hurry, “Brother Xiaoran, we still have to go to the most romantic restaurant for lunch. We’ll leave first. Help me bring these things home.”
Huo Xiaoran was reluctant. “An’an, bring me along.”
Qiao An pointed at Huo Zhou and said meaningfully, “The world of love is very narrow. It can’t accommodate three people. Sisi has a new lover, so her old love has to leave.”
Huo Xiaoran smiled. “That makes sense. Alright, go ahead.”
Qiao An pulled Sisi away quickly.
Huo Zhou looked at Sisi’s departing back and saw her hand naturally holding Bai An’s arm. His eagle eyes suddenly narrowed.
Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou and said with ulterior motives, “Zhou Zhou, An’an is right. The world of love is very narrow and can’t accommodate a third person. As for you, if you can’t empty your old love and vacate your heart, no one can stay there.”
Huo Zhou lowered his long eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
Huo Xiaoran continued, “You loved Qianqian for your entire adolescence. It’s normal that you can’t let her go. But you’re not as brave and bold as Sisi. Look, you’re also her idol for her entire adolescence. She loves you no less than you love Qianqian. But now, she can also make up her mind to forget you with all her might and fulfill your wish. What about you?”
“Do you have the courage to forget Qianqian with all your might and fulfill Qianqian and Xiao Ming’s love?”
There seemed to be some emotion circulating in Huo Zhou’s eyes.
His worldview seemed to have collapsed and he needed to re-establish it.
Huo Xiaoran was silent for a moment. He knew that Zhou Zhou needed time to digest his words.
On the way back, Xiaoran’s phone kept ringing. Because Xiaoran was driving, he handed the phone to Huo Zhou. “Zhou Zhou, help me check who texted me.”
Huo Zhou pulled down the message log and saw Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s dialog box.
The first thing he saw was a screen full of photos.
Qiao An stuffed the photo of Sisi and Bai An in the same frame. Occasionally, Sisi would have a desolate expression, but Bai An would look at Sisi dotingly the entire time.
...
That gaze was so hot that Huo Zhou found it blinding.
At the end, Qiao An said something that drove Huo Zhou crazy. “Sisi and Bai An are staying at the Huo Hotel tonight. Brother Xiaoran, arrange a romantic and warm suite for them.”
Huo Zhou’s eyes began to turn red. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “What is Qiao An doing? How can she instigate Sisi to live with Bai An?”
Huo Xiaoran smiled, but he was biased toward his wife. “My An’an saw that Sisi was in a bad mood, so she put in so much effort to help her invest in a new love as soon as possible.”
Huo Zhou said angrily, “Isn’t it too fast?”
Huo Xiaoran found it funny. If it was not fast, would he have been agitated?
