Xiao Yue quickly stopped him outside the door and said angrily, “Li Zecheng, you’re trespassing. Do you believe that I’ll call the police to arrest you?”
Li Zecheng had long guessed that there would be all kinds of obstructions on this trip, so he had already thought of a countermeasure. He was extremely shameless when dealing with Xiao Yue. “You hid my daughters. I’m not accusing you of kidnapping children, but you still played the blame game. If you have the ability, call the police.”
Xiao Yue was furious.
Fortunately, Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou came in time and happened to see this scene. Huo Xiaoran scolded Li Zecheng, “Li Zecheng, you came to Xiao Yue’s house and trespassed. Is this the upbringing of the Li family?”
When Li Zecheng heard Huo Xiaoran’s voice, he did not continue to barge in. Instead, he turned to look at Huo Xiaoran with a blissful expression and said smugly, “Uncle, my daughters have been hidden by Xiao Yue. If it were you, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be as simple as trespassing.”
Huo Xiaoran’s fingertips turned slightly white.
“Your daughters?” His eyes were narrowed and his voice was unnatural.
Li Zecheng bragged to him, “You still don’t know, right? Qiao An gave birth to a pair of daughters for me. Speaking of which, I really feel apologetic to Qiao An. Three years ago, she loved me so much but I betrayed her. I didn’t expect her to be willing to give birth to my children for me. But I definitely won’t let her down in the future.”
Huo Xiaoran was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. “Li Zecheng, how can you be so shameless? You and Qiao An are already divorced. Don’t disturb her again.”
He ordered the last sentence almost through gritted teeth.
Li Zecheng was not angry. Instead, he smiled. “Uncle, I know you’re very angry. After all, the woman you value the most has always loved me. Even after the divorce, she’s only willing to give birth to my child.”
Huo Xiaoran felt dizzy. Even the back of his head was throbbing.
“Li Zecheng, who told you that Qiao An’s daughter is your daughter?” Xiao Yue, who knew the inside story, was amused by Li Zecheng’s wishful thinking.
Li Zecheng said confidently, “Don’t ask too much about this. Anyway, I’m sure Qiao An’s daughter is my daughter.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at his confident expression and felt a sense of loss.
Only Xiao Yue mocked Li Zecheng to her heart’s content. “Li Zecheng,iIf you want to confirm that Qiao An’s daughter is your daughter, please show me the evidence.”
Li Zecheng said, “Call the children out. I’ll immediately do a paternity test with them.”
Xiao Yue refused immediately. “Li Zecheng, not to mention that the children are not yours to begin with, even if they are yours, you can forget about taking them away today. Qiao An placed them in my care because she trusts me greatly. I can’t hand the children to you. Leave.”
Li Zecheng would not give up until he achieved his goal. “I have to take my daughters away today. Otherwise, I won’t leave.”
Xiao Yue was furious.
Huo Xiaoran stepped forward and reprimanded Li Zecheng with a dark expression. “Li Zecheng, Qiao An isn’t here. Xiao Yue can’t make the decision for the children. Why are you forcing her?”
Li Zecheng said, “Uncle, it’s easier said than done. The children are mine. Do you know how much I want to see my daughters? My daughters have a mother and a father. It’s impossible for Xiao Yue to take care of them. Anyway, I have to take them away today. It’s useless even if you call the police. After all, I’m the children’s father.”
Xiao Yue was at a loss.
She settled for the next best thing. “Li Zecheng, will you leave when you see the children?”
Li Zecheng said, “As long as I’m sure the children are safe with you, I can temporarily leave them with you.”
Xiao Yue entered the house. She went to the basement and brought out Joey and Angel Qiao.
When the two adorable children appeared in front of everyone, Li Zecheng and Huo Xiaoran could not hide their fondness.
“Baby.” Li Zecheng rushed forward and scooped the two children into his arms. However, Joey and Angel Qiao took a step back nimbly. They were extremely wary of him.
Angel Qiao was even paler.
“Baby, I’m Daddy.” Li Zecheng patted his chest excitedly.
Huo Xiaoran glared at him in disgust.
Li Zecheng’s eagerness made Angel Qiao cry in fear.
Joey hugged her sister warmly and said, “Don’t cry, sister. Bad uncles wouldn’t dare hurt us.”
Li Zecheng was dumbfounded.
“I’m not a bad uncle. I’m your daddy.” He was anxious to explain again and again.
But Angel Qiao suddenly shouted at him, “You’re not my daddy. You’re not my daddy.”
Then, she actually circled around Li Zecheng and ran to Huo Xiaoran’s side, hugging his long legs for protection.
“Uncle, protect me.”
Huo Xiaoran picked up Angel Qiao and wiped her tears. Angel Qiao hugged his neck tightly.
Huo Xiaoran was instantly melted by Angel Qiao’s softness and helplessness. In an instant, his fatherly love exploded.
“Don’t be afraid. Uncle is here. No one can hurt you.”
He waved at Joey again. “Baby, come here.”
Joey ran up to him and Huo Xiaoran bent down to pick her up.
Li Zecheng looked at the harmonious scene between Huo Xiaoran and the children with surprise in his eyes.
“Uncle, why are they so close to you? Why are they ignoring me?”
Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “Because you’re ugly.”
Li Zecheng said, “What exactly is your relationship with Qiao An? Why are her daughters only close to you?”
Huo Xiaoran lowered his eyes. He looked at the two adorable children in his arms and felt a strange emotion.
The children were not attached to Li Zecheng but to him?
His thoughts dimmed instantly when he caught a glimpse of Joey.
He certainly hadn’t forgotten that he and Joey had done a paternity test. The child wasn’t even remotely related to him.
“Children’s eyes are the windows to their souls. They can see that my heart is clear and yours is dirty. So naturally, they’re close to me.”
Li Zecheng’s face darkened.
At this moment, Xiao Yue walked over and gently removed one of Joey’s beautiful hair. A fallen hair wrapped around her fingertips. However, Joey cried out in pain. “Ouch.”
Xiao Yue handed Joey’s hair to Li Zecheng. “Let’s talk about whether she’s your daughter after the paternity test.”
Li Zecheng held the hair and wanted to pull Angel Qiao’s hair.
However, Huo Xiaoran berated him, “Enough. Doesn’t the child hurt? They’re twin daughters. It’s enough to verify one.”
Li Zecheng gave up.
Before he left, he didn’t forget to please his “own” daughter. “Remember, your daddy is me. My name is Li Zecheng. Tell Daddy, what are your names?”
“My name is Joey. My sister is Angel. Angel Qiao,” Joey introduced herself and her sister.
