Chapter 321: Making Up to Ki Ki
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ki Ki looked confused. “Really?”
Qiao An said, “If you don’t believe me, go downstairs right now. Tell them you have the same blood type as them. They’re going to regret disrespecting my Ki Ki.”
Ki Ki felt better.
Then, Ki Ki took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, dried his hair, and went downstairs with a face that was identical to Huo Xiaoran’s.
Downstairs, Huo Xiaoran paced back and forth in the living room uneasily. Huo Zhou looked at him with a headache. “Xiaoran, stop spinning. You’re making me dizzy. Didn’t you just give him less gifts? Can’t you just give him more later? The child wouldn’t hold a grudge.”
Huo Xiaoran sighed heavily.
Although he felt a little guilty about Ki Ki, he didn’t go so far as to torture himself. He was uneasy because he was afraid Qiao An would be upset with him.
He and Qiao An had yet to register their marriage. What if Qiao An decided to break up with him because of this? Wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?
Huo Zhou seemed to have seen through him and persuaded, “It’s said that blood is thicker than water. It’s our nature to treat the three children differently. Qiao An won’t blame us.”
Xiao Yue criticized them sternly. “How can you be so biased? Even if you want to be biased, you shouldn’t let the child see it. You can be biased to Angel, so her gifts can be more expensive. But don’t give the free gifts to Ki Ki. That’s too much.”
At this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared on the stairs. He lowered his head and ran downstairs. Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou had done something wrong, so they did not dare to face the child’s questioning gaze.
“Ki Ki, you’re hungry, right?” Huo Xiaoran wanted to curry favor with Ki Ki, but when he looked up and saw that there was nothing specially made for Ki Ki, he could no longer speak.
Ki Ki, however, was a child who didn’t hold grudges. He called to everyone, “Can we eat?”
Then everyone sat around the dining table.
There were eight people at the long dining table. Huo Xiaoran and Ki Ki were next to each other. Qiao An and Angel were next to each other. Xiao Yue and Joey were next to each other. Huo Zhou, who didn’t like children, was alone.
The atmosphere was inexplicably oppressive.
Huo Xiaoran carefully observed Qiao An, afraid that she was angry with him.
When Qiao An noticed Huo Xiaoran’s small action, she smiled knowingly.
Anyway, Ki Ki was of the Huo family’s bloodline. With the Huo family’s habit of valuing bloodline to the point of paranoia, she was not worried that Ki Ki would be neglected by the Huo family.
On the other hand, the two Demon Kings, Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou, did not know they would soon be chasing after the child. She was just waiting to watch a good show.
Huo Xiaoran’s heart trembled when he saw Qiao An’s smile. His intuition told him that Qiao An wasn’t angry, but she seemed to be playing tricks on him.
In order to please Qiao An, he kept putting food into her bowl. But he had neglected Ki Ki again.
Qiao An and Xiao Yue took care of Joey and Angel. Only Ki Ki was neglected by Huo Xiaoran. Xiao Yue couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, “Cousin, you shouldn’t only only take care of Sister Qiao An. Give Ki Ki some food.”
“I don’t need it,” Ki Ki refused coldly.
“Yo, you’re very promising.” Huo Zhou glanced at Ki Ki and said sarcastically.
With just a glance, Huo Zhou’s heart almost jumped out of his chest.
This Ki Ki clearly looked exactly like Huo Xiaoran?
Especially since he was sitting beside Huo Xiaoran. The similarities between the two were simply too strong.
Then, what was even more amazing was that Huo Xiaoran and Ki Ki liked to eat the same dishes. They always tacitly picked up the same dish.
Huo Zhou realized that Ki Ki was the son of Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An. This fact instantly defeated him. He suddenly realized how suicidal his actions today were.
However, a man knew when to yield and when not to. Huo Zhou played this principle to its core. He immediately picked up his chopsticks and kept putting food into Ki Ki’s bowl.
“Ki Ki, Uncle will put some food in your bowl.”
“Come, come, come. Eat more, our Ki Ki.”
… .
His behavior instantly attracted the attention of the other adults.
Xiao Yue criticized him. “Cousin, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to please Ki Ki now? It’s too late.”
Huo Xiaoran, who was unaware, looked at Huo Zhou in confusion. The two of them communicated with their eyes. Huo Xiaoran asked Huo Zhou, “What are you doing? Why are you suddenly so solicitous to Ki Ki? This isn’t like you.”
Huo Zhou, on the other hand, kept winking at him, indicating that he should quickly fawn over Ki Ki.
However, Huo Xiaoran did not want to go on the road. Huo Zhou was so anxious that he reminded him, “Xiaoran, quickly give Ki Ki some food.”
Although Huo Xiaoran was puzzled, he did as he was told.
But Ki Ki suddenly looked up at him, refusing to accept their solicitousness. “No need.”
Only then did Huo Xiaoran have the chance to see Ki Ki’s extremely handsome face. That face seemed to remind him of a photo of his childhood, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
He couldn’t even hold the chopsticks in his hand and they fell to the ground.
Qiao An, on the other hand, turned a blind eye, as if she had just witnessed a good show. She was eating with a smile.
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An resentfully.
Why hadn’t she told him in advance that Ki Ki was his son?
At this moment, Huo Xiaoran was filled with regret.
If he’d known Ki Ki was his precious son, he’d have picked him up today. Tonight would have been a grand celebration for Ki Ki.
Ki Ki slowly picked out the dishes that Huo Zhou and Xiaoran had picked out.
Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran looked very embarrassed.
Qiao An said fiercely, “Ki Ki, don’t waste food.”
Ki Ki said, “I don’t like any of the dishes they pick up.”
Actually, he didn’t like any of the dishes on the table.
Because sweets had never been his favorite.
He liked spicy food.
Qiao An said, “Daddy cooked for you tonight himself. He doesn’t know your taste. So you’ll have to make do.”
Huo Xiaoran immediately said, “Ki Ki, what do you like to eat? Daddy will make it for you immediately.”
Ki Ki was a sensible and drama-free child. He started picking back chunks of food that had gone out. “No need. I can eat.”
Then he swallowed those dishes in agony.
At this moment, Angel suddenly said, “Daddy, Brother likes spicy food.”
Huo Xiaoran immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Qiao An tried to dissuade him. “Brother Xiaoran, there’s no need to go through so much trouble.”
Huo Xiaoran begged, “Just let me do something for Ki Ki.”
Qiao An stopped trying to stop him.
Ten minutes later, Huo Xiaoran came out with a bowl of boiled beef. He placed it in front of Ki Ki and said humbly, “Do you like it?”
Ki Ki nodded.
When Qiao An saw how careful Huo Xiaoran was in front of the child, her heart suddenly ached for him.
Speaking of which, it was her fault for not handling it well and affecting the relationship between the father and son. It seemed that she would have to have a good chat with Ki Ki later.
When dinner was over, Qiao An took the initiative and put on her apron to clear the dishes.
However, Huo Xiaoran walked up to her and untied her apron. He said gently, “How can I let my wife do such a thing?”
