Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce - Chapter 609
609 Ze’en’s Guidance
And him?
He relied on Huo Xiaoran’s guidance, and it was a godsend. Huo Xiaoran had been missing for four years before he was reborn.
If he fell from the clouds and could no longer meet nobles like Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An to help him, he would probably never be able to get up again.
Because Li Ze’en had poked at Li Zecheng’s heart, Li Zecheng flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Ze’en, can’t you hope that your brother will be better?”
Li Ze’en sighed. “Brother, how can I not want you to be well? I’m just reminding you that you have to be vigilant.”
Li Zecheng was very gloomy because ever since he got up. Because he had simply provoked Huo Xiaoran, he had not left any way out for himself.
In this way, Li Zecheng felt that if he wanted to protect his permanent wealth, he could only do one thing, which was to completely kill off Huo Xiaoran.
After a busy day, Huo Xiaoran dragged his tired body home. The first thing he did was to visit Qiao An in her bedroom.
Qiao An was still in her confinement. This time, for some reason, she was very weak after the child was aborted. She was feeling not only irritable and frustrated but also inexplicably heavy and weak.
When Huo Xiaoran entered, Qiao An had already sat up and was leaning against the bed with a thick book in her hand.
Xiao Ran took the book out of her hand and said gently, “An’an, don’t read for too long. It hurts your eyes.”
Qiao An looked at the very tired Huo Xiaoran. His dark circles were very serious. Only then did she realize that Huo Xiaoran seemed to have not rested well recently. He was either comforting her or taking care of her life every day.
Qiao An reached out and touched Huo Xiaoran’s dark circles with her fingertips. Her heart ached. “Brother Xiaoran, rest well tonight.”
Huo Xiaoran said aggrievedly, “I can only sleep well if you let me sleep with you.”
Qiao An said, “Then have you learned your lesson? Do you still have to be so concerned about women other than me in the future? So concerned that you’re distracted at dinner?”
Huo Xiaoran blushed. “An’an, stop talking. That’s a stain on my life. I really know I did wrong this time.”
An’an sighed and said earnestly, “Actually, you didn’t do anything wrong. You just didn’t grasp it well.”
Huo Xiaoran held her hand and rubbed it intimately. “An’an, forgive me. I’ve been reflecting on my actions recently. I finally know why you’re angry. It’s because I’ve lost my sense of boundaries. Everyone in this world is an independent entity. Other than husband and wife, everyone should keep a distance from others. Even if there’s a reason, they should let their partners know their actions and obtain their partners’ approval before doing something that blurs their sense of propriety. This is respect for their partners.”
Qiao An was dumbfounded…
“Why is this line so familiar?” 𝒩𝞸𝗏𝑒𝑙𝓊𝓈𝒃.𝐂𝑶𝗆
Huo Xiaoran smiled meaningfully.
He pressed his face into Qiao An’s palm and wheedled. “Honey, forgive me?”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive me. Just don’t hurt your body from anger. Hubby will make you happy every day for the rest of your life.”
Qiao An sighed. “You’ve grown up after this. Okay, I was wrong. I made a mountain out of a molehill.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “My wife isn’t making a mountain out of a molehill. My wife is right. Your hubby is the one who’s wrong.”
Qiao An couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, in view of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I forgive you.” She patted Xiaoran’s head. It was like touching a cute and loving puppy.
Only then did Huo Xiaoran completely relax.
When Huo Xiaoran came out of Qiao An’s room and arrived downstairs, he was pulled to the side by his father, Falcon. Falcon asked him excitedly, “Xiaoran, I heard from Huo Zhou that you’ve already found your grandfather’s family. Is that right?”
Huo Xiaoran’s expression, which had just relaxed, became solemn again. He stammered, “Ah, this matter hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
Falcon said, “Where are they? I want to meet them. As soon as I see your grandfather, I will know if you have found the wrong person.
Huo Xiaoran picked up the water beside him and gulped it down.
Then, he looked at Falcon uneasily and finally sighed.
“Dad, I’m busy these days… Can I take you to see him when I’m done?”
How could Falcon not tell that Huo Xiaoran was dragging his words? Falcon said anxiously, “Child, what are you hiding? This is not a big deal. Just tell me the address and I’ll find it myself.”
Huo Xiaoran turned around, his uneasy face covered in dark clouds.
“Dad, I’m sorry. I don’t want to acknowledge the Lu family for the time being.”
“Why?” Falcon’s face was filled with disappointment.
“You don’t know, Qiao An’s miscarriage this time is related to a cousin in the Lu family. I’m afraid we’ll make An’an uncomfortable if we rush to acknowledge her.”
Falcon sighed. “So Qiao An’s argument with you is related to the Lu family?”
Father Qiao, who was sitting on the sofa and eavesdropping on Huo Xiaoran’s conversation, immediately stood up and reprimanded Qiao An in a loud voice, “What? Qiao An is becoming more and more unreasonable. Father-in-law has left home since he was young and wants to see his father, but she stopped you from seeing him. I have to scold her to wake her up.”
Huo Xiaoran quickly stopped Father Qiao. In order to let the two fathers figure out the truth, Xiaoran decided to tell them everything.
Xiaoran said self-deprecatingly, “I was saving the damsel in distress at the entrance of the Lu family, but I was pestered by her. She had a hooligan boyfriend. I was worried about her, so that day, my mind was wandering and I kept reminding her how she should protect herself. Qiao An misunderstood me because of this. She was furious.”
Falcon and Father Qiao were dumbfounded.
Father Qiao said, “Xiaoran, you’re indeed in the wrong in this matter. But you have to explain to An’an. An’an isn’t an unreasonable person.”
Falcon nodded too. “That’s right. An’an was pregnant. She must be angry to see you intimate with other girls. You should explain to An’an that she’s a biological cousin.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Falcon. “It’s useless. An’an was angry because I abandoned them four years ago for you. Now, I’m ignoring her during her pregnancy for my cousin. She’s angry that I neglected her and always put her behind family.”
Father Qiao fell silent.
Falcon lowered his head and pondered for a long time before saying, “Xiaoran, so be it.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Dad, thank you for understanding me.”
Falcon waved his hand. “I don’t understand you. I understand An’an. Your disappearance four years ago was no different from a life-and-death separation for An’an. One can imagine how sad her heartache was. Now, she’s traumatized. As long as you do something potentially dangerous, she’ll be angry with you.”
“Xiaoran, for our An’an, don’t be a hero in the future.”
