At the mention of her father, Angel Qiao’s eyes lit up with anticipation. But soon, a disappointed expression appeared on her face. She said dejectedly, “I have many fathers, but none of them can be by my side for long.”
“Many daddies?” Huo Zhou frowned. His wrinkles were so deep that they could kill a fly.
Angel Qiao nodded. “Yes. Uncle was my daddy too. The handsome uncle on TV was also my daddy. And Uncle Doctor is also my daddy. The portrait in Mommy’s sketchbook is also my daddy.”
Because of the angel’s childish expression, the few people who had never come into contact with children were puzzled. But the general idea that Angel Qiao gave them was that they had saw a father figure whenever they come into contact with a pleasant uncle.
Huo Zhou felt a headache coming on. “Why can’t this child express herself properly? Is she Qiao An’s biological child? Why didn’t she inherit Qiao An’s blessed mouth at all?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at the angel lovingly. Her eyebrows were identical to Qiao An’s. He liked Qiao An’s fresh and pure appearance, and he also liked the angel’s delicate expression.
In any case, he liked this mother and daughter.
“Uncle Huo doesn’t know your name yet. Tell me, what’s your name?”
Angel Qiao tilted her head coquettishly and said crisply, “Mommy calls me Third Sister Qiao. Uncle Huo, you can also call me Third Sister.”
“Yes, Third Sister.” Huo Xiaoran smiled and nodded.
He found it incredibly magical. Angel’s soft voice had the same healing magic as Qiao An’s.
As if he had suddenly thought of something, Huo Zhou suddenly looked at Angel Qiao in surprise and exclaimed.
“Xiaoran, that’s not right. Qiao An has a total of three children. If the third sister is already so old, wouldn’t the eldest and second brother be even older? Come to think of it, those two children should be Qiao An and Li Zecheng’s children, right?”
However, Huo Xiaoran said, “I’ve seen Joey before. She looks about the same age as Third Sister.”
“So are they twins?” Huo Zhou was enlightened.
But Angel Qiao waved her hand innocently. “In addition to my sister, I have Brother Ki Ki. We’re triplets.”
Huo Zhou was dumbfounded. “Triplets? How was Qiao An so lucky?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Angel Qiao and asked patiently, “You have a brother?”
The angel’s eyes bloomed with admiration at the mention of her brother. “My brother is brilliant. He can do street dances well, play the piano well, and his martial arts are amazing. My brother is Superman.”
A hint of jealousy flashed across Huo Xiaoran’s heart.
“Does the brother look like you?” He was curious. Qiao An’s son must have been a pretty little thing too.
Angel Qiao shook her head like a rattle. “Mommy said that I’m like Mommy and my brother is like Daddy.”
Huo Xiaoran’s heart ached. Did that man save the galaxy in his previous life? How he have such a cute bunch of children?
When Xiao Yue saw that Huo Xiaoran was interrogating the angel, she felt uneasy, afraid that the two demon kings would get some key information.
Xiao Yue pulled Angel Qiao away from Huo Xiaoran and smiled. “Baby, we should go home.”
Huo Xiaoran instinctively hugged Angel Qiao tightly. Xiao Yue couldn’t carry Angel Qiao and looked at Xiao Ran in a daze.
“Yueyue, leave her behind.” Huo Xiaoran acted like he was the master of the house, as if he was the one who had the right to Angel.
He only told Xiao Yue to leave Angel Qiao behind and had no intention of consulting her.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Huo Zhou stood up and opened the door.
It was Lu Mo. When the door slid open, her gaze shot in.
Seeing the fair girl in Huo Xiaoran’s arms, panic filled Lu Mo’s eyes. However, it was fleeting, and she forced herself to calm down.
“Senior.” She switched to a worried expression and said, “I heard that you were hospitalized, so I rushed over. What happened to you? Why were you suddenly hospitalized?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m fine.”
Lu Mo’s gaze landed on Angel Qiao. Even if she wanted to ignore this child, the child’s face that resembled Qiao An’s and Huo Xiaoran’s doting attitude made her panic.
“Senior, who is this child?” she asked, although she knew the answer.
When Xiao Yue saw Lu Mo, she became vigilant. She picked up Angel Qiao and bade farewell to Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran. “Cousin, I’ll bring the child home.” She left in a hurry.
Huo Xiaoran looked at Angel Qiao in a daze. The Angel lay on Xiao Yue’s shoulder and kept waving goodbye to him.
An unprecedented gentleness and kindness appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.
“Senior, do you like children a lot?” Lu Mo asked.
Huo Xiaoran frowned and thought seriously about the answer.
To be honest, he didn’t like children. It was just that Qiao An’s daughter was indeed too cute. Her milky appearance was simply adorable.
“I only like Qiao An’s children,” Huo Xiaoran said.
Lu Mo smiled awkwardly and corrected him. “Senior, parents love their children the most. When we have children, you will definitely like our own children.”
Huo Xiaoran frowned. “Momo, I’m sorry. I might not have a child with you. You forgot that I have contact disorder with you. If you must have a child, I’m afraid you have to reconsider whether you want to choose me as your life partner.”
Lu Mo was even more embarrassed. At this moment, her toes were digging out a few square meters.
“Senior, as long as our lives are prosperous, it’s up to fate whether we have children or not.” Lu Mo was best at retreating for the sake of advancing.
Huo Xiaoran stopped this topic.
However, Huo Xiaoran’s love for Angel Qiao made Lu Mo especially uncomfortable.
When she spoke again, she changed the topic to Angel Qiao.
“Senior, I think you like that child. Why don’t we discuss with Qiao An and take her daughter as our goddaughter?”
This suggestion made Huo Xiaoran’s heart skip a beat.
Lu Mo saw that his eyes were filled with vigor. He was clearly wavering. Her heart turned cold. If Huo Xiaoran knew that this child might be his daughter, his heart would probably fall.
Lu Mo carefully probed, “Senior, it’s just that this child is related to you by blood. She’s Li Zecheng’s daughter. In terms of seniority, she’s our niece. It should be difficult to take her in as a goddaughter.”
Huo Xiaoran was surprised. “She’s Li Zecheng’s daughter? How did you know?”
Lu Mo said, “Qiao An brought her daughter to the Jinghang Hospital for a checkup. I’ve seen her birth date. She gave birth two years ago in September. Based on a quick calculation, wasn’t she pregnant during Qiao An and Li Zecheng’s marriage?”
