557 Loving Couple VS Fake Couple

When Xiao Ran arrived downstairs, Qiao An was sitting on a wooden bench in the atrium of the district. She looked at the sky in boredom and counted the stars.

When Huo Xiaoran walked over, he said apologetically, “An’an, you’ve waited too long.”

Qiao An hugged him affectionately and wheedled. “Brother Xiaoran, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I’ve counted 99 stars many times.”

Xiao Ran knew that Qiao An had a romantic personality and some romantic feelings in her bones. She liked the number 9 because she wanted their relationship to last forever.

Huo Xiaoran was once a very straight man. When he was young, he could not help but laugh at her ignorance in his heart. However, as he grew older, he experienced too many separations before he understood that people were looking forward to things that would last forever.

So Qiao An easily touched his heart.

“In order to make up for my apology, why don’t… I carry my wife home?” Huo Xiaoran smiled and squatted down.

Qiao An grinned and climbed onto his back. “Sure.”

Huo Xiaoran carried Qiao An on his back and the two of them slowly walked on the boulevard, chatting leisurely.

“Brother Xiaoran, did you have a good chat with Dad?”

“Yes. It was okay.”

Xiao Ran suddenly thought of something and stopped to turn to look at Qiao An. “An’an, there’s something I have to do first. I hope you won’t be angry.”

Qiao An said, “What is it? Is it serious?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I want to bring two fathers to our side.”

Qiao An said excitedly, “That’s a good thing, right? But will Dad come?”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “I’ll let him take care of his grandchildren so that I can have a good time with you.”

Qiao An was dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but sigh at Huo Xiaoran’s cunningness. Qiao An sighed and said, “As expected, all businessmen are evil. Why didn’t I think of your method?”

Huo Xiaoran muttered, “Are you praising me or degrading me?”

Qiao An giggled.

“Dad feels guilty about you. He won’t refuse you anything you ask of him. But he might not be sincere about agreeing to come and take care of his grandchildren. I think he might prefer to stay at his job.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “To others, it’s only meaningful for him to wear a military uniform. But I’m just his son. An’an, forgive my selfishness. I only hope that he can enjoy his old age.”

Qiao An listened to Xiaoran’s hoarse voice and said, “I know Brother Xiaoran’s heart aches for him. Since Dad has already promised you to help us take care of the children, I think he’s already mentally prepared to retire.”

Huo Xiaoran continued, “There’s one more thing. An’an, I want to go to Zeng City and bring my other father over. Speaking of which, I’m really ashamed. I haven’t fulfilled my filial piety for so many years. Compared to you, I’m too incompetent.”

Qiao An smiled. “All these years, although I haven’t seen Dad much, I’ve been in touch. The barriers from the past have been resolved, and Dad is quite satisfied with my current life. I once invited him to my house, but Dad is used to the quietness of the countryside. Even if you invite him, he might not come.”

Xiao Ran said, “An’an, you have to use your brain to make things happen.”

Qiao An came over. “Are you saying I’m brainless?”

Xiao Ran laughed loudly.

The couple’s banter made them look even more sincere.

Unfortunately, on the way home, they met Huo Zhou and Sisi, who were out for a walk. Although the two of them were walking side by side, they had their own thoughts.

The two of them heard Xiaoran and Qiao An laughing from afar and Sisi said enviously, “Xiaoran is back. Qiao An’s mood is different. This is the first time in four years that I’ve seen Sister An’an smile so brightly. Their relationship is really enviable.”

Huo Zhou recalled the ordeal Qiao An had experienced when she found an amnesiac Xiaoran and brought him home. His feelings for Qiao An went from initial disregard to reverence. At this moment, he was extremely envious and jealous of Xiaoran.

“Xiaoran is really lucky to have met Qiao An in this life.”

Sisi looked at Huo Zhou in a daze. “Hubby, I’ll be jealous if you praise other women like that in front of your wife.”

Huo Zhou quickly explained, “Sisi, I don’t have any other thoughts. I’m purely envious of Xiaoran.” Then, Huo Zhou told Sisi about Qiao An’s humiliating courtship in order to awaken Xiaoran’s memory. “Qiao An could have used a marriage certificate to restrain Xiaoran and made him go home, but she didn’t do that. She carefully pandered to him and made the amnesiac Xiaoran fall in love with her again. Only then could Xiaoran go home with Qiao An willingly.”

“Xiaoran found such a well-educated wife. As his cousin, I’m just happy for him.”

Sisi held Huo Zhou’s arm and comforted him. “Zhou Zhou, I’m not angry. Not only you, but I also envy them. Their love is so strong. In this materialistic society, it’s really rare.”

“Zhou Zhou, let’s learn from them, okay? In the future, we’ll work hard to manage our love. I’ll love you well and be a wife who understands you and supports you. Can you love me more?”

Huo Zhou looked into her expectant eyes, his eyes covered in a layer of sadness.

He nodded faintly, and they walked forward in silence.

Then, he met Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An. Huo Zhou teased them, “You’re going too far. You’re already an old couple. Do you have to be so sweet?”

Huo Xiaoran’s fiery eyes landed in the gap between Huo Zhou and Sisi.

“You’ve been together for four years, but you haven’t advanced to be a father yet? Are you not good at that?”

Huo Zhou was furious.

“Xiaoran, you…”

Huo Xiaoran provoked, “If you can’t, treat it.”

Qiao An burst out laughing.

Huo Zhou said angrily, “Who said I can’t? Just you wait. I’ll father a few more children and make you jealous of me.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Two can play the game. Do you want to compete in whose family has more kids?” He actually didn’t want Qiao An to continue getting pregnant. After all, pregnancy and giving birth had a huge impact on Qiao An’s body. He was a doctor and naturally understood this logic.

However, in order to provoke Huo Zhou, he went all out.

Qiao An dragged him down. “Brother Xiaoran, I’m not giving birth. If you want to give birth, give birth to kids yourself. I’m not a pig.”

Xiao Ran whispered, “You’re just cooperating with your husband to act.”

Qiao An changed the topic and said excitedly, “Zhouzhou, Sisi, do you want to compete? Let’s see who gets pregnant and gives birth first. The loser will buy a house for the child.”

Sisi said excitedly, “Let’s compete.”

Huo Zhou hesitated for a moment before finally breaking through his defense. “Let’s compete.”

Huo Xiaoran gave Qiao An a thumbs up. “Impressive.”

Qiao An didn’t want to have a child, but she deliberately made such a big bet. She clearly wanted to give Huo Zhou a generous gift.
