Chapter 545 - 545 Xiaoran's Return
545 Xiaoran’s Return
No matter how domineering Xing Xiaoya was in the past, as long as she cried or threw a tantrum, Xing Chen would abandon Qiao An to comfort her.
But now that Xing Chen had just regained his memory and transformed into Huo Xiaoran, he had sent someone to beat Xing Xiaoya up.
“How can you bear to?” Qiao An murmured in shock.
Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face was cold. At the mention of Xing Xiaoya, he could not hide the disgust in his eyes. “That girl is scheming and full of evil tricks. She needs to be taught a lesson a long time ago.”
Qiao An hugged Huo Xiaoran’s neck. At this moment, Huo Xiaoran was domineering and had the aura of a ruler. No one could control his arrogance. It was very similar to the way he punished Lu Mo many years ago: ruthless and decisive.
“Brother Xiaoran, I really believe that you’re my Brother Xiaoran and not Brother Xing Chen anymore.” Qiao An was very surprised. After all, she was already prepared to work hard to fight for Xing Chen’s love for the rest of her life.
Huo Xiaoran looked guilty. “An’an, I’m sorry. It was my fault in the past. I’ve let you suffer.”
Qiao An wrapped her arms around his neck and felt comfortable once and for all. She sighed. “Brother Xiaoran, welcome back.”
“Your welcome ceremony is too official.” Xiaoran looked into her bright eyes and smiled like a child.
Qiao An pecked at him with her seductively sexy lips. “How about this? Still official?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s not sincere enough.”
Qiao An was distressed. “Then what should I do?” Then she held his face and kissed his eyebrows.
Like an ignited fire, this could not be stopped. The two of them kissed until the sky darkened.
“Ah, beat me to death. I won’t confess even if you beat me to death,” Xing Xiaoya’s tragic voice shouted.
Qiao An was so shocked that her face turned pale. If Huo Xiaoran’s methods were too strong, he would have to bear the responsibility.
“Brother Xiaoran, although Xing Xiaoya was the arsonist, I was lucky to escape. She didn’t hurt anyone. Don’t overreact.” Qiao An warned Huo Xiaoran.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Don’t worry, Zhou Zhou knows his limits.”
However, that night, Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning screamed the entire night. Qiao An was trembling in fear, and Huo Xiaoran was brazenly taking revenge on Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning. The villagers around were not fools. They did not dare to resist Huo Xiaoran.
Huo Xiaoran’s thoughts were not on Xing Xiaoya and the others at all. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed to rest. He did not care how tragically Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning were screaming, but if Qiao An turned around, he would definitely wake up.
“An’an, are you feeling unwell again? Why don’t you lie on hubby?”
Qiao An’s butt hurt so much that tears streamed down her face. Especially in the dead of night, when she relaxed, the burning pain was especially sharp.
She was unwilling to disturb Huo Xiaoran’s rest and had already gritted her teeth to endure the pain and not make any sound.
Her arm was already numb from lying down. She couldn’t help but sniffle.
Little did she know that Huo Xiaoran was awake at all. Qiao An’s pain was clearly transmitted to him as if it was conducting electricity. Every time she endured, every time she gritted her teeth, every time she gently bared her teeth, Huo Xiaoran felt it extremely clearly.
His heart tore and ached because of this. When Qiao An sniffled one last time, Huo Xiaoran suddenly jumped up and turned on the light with monstrous anger.
Qiao An looked at his sinister face and cold eyes and was afraid. Did Huo Xiaoran despise her for disturbing his sleep?
Was he so scary when he woke up?
Huo Xiaoran glared at Qiao An with red eyes. “You asked me to punish Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning lightly, but look at what she’s done to you. Why should I let her off so easily? I should let Zhou Zhou beat her to death to relieve my heart.”
Qiao An was stunned.
So he didn’t blame her for disturbing him?
“Brother Xiaoran, you scared me to death. I thought you were blaming me for disturbing your rest.” She heaved a sigh of relief.
Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.
Then, he leaned over and gently pressed his face against Qiao An’s. His heart ached as he said gently, “Silly, how can I bear to blame you? It’s all Xing Chen’s fault. He traumatized you, right? An’an, I’ve already regained my memory. I’m no longer Xing Chen. I’m Xiaoran, your Xiaoran alone. In the future, my heart will only ache for you.”
Qiao An reached out and stroked his head, her fingertips passing through his flowing, dense black hair. Qiao An cried tears of joy. “Brother Xiaoran, actually, I’m already very grateful to the heavens that you’re back. At least my life won’t be so desperate in the future. I’m willing to forgive Xing Xiaoya because I’m so happy that you’re back.”
“You’re a silly girl.” Huo Xiaoran gently stroked her rough back.
That night, Qiao An was in so much pain that she couldn’t sleep.
Huo Xiaoran had been awake and chatting with her. His goal was to divert her attention and make her ignore her pain.
At dawn the next day, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An couldn’t withstand the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Angel entered the room and was stunned to see a long-haired woman lying on her daddy.
She sneaked out again and told her brother and sister the explosive news. “Ki Ki, Joey, Daddy brought home a woman last night. They slept together.”
Ki Ki’s handsome face darkened. His fists clenched.
Joey pouted angrily. “Daddy found us a stepmother so quickly? He’s let Mommy down too much. Back then, when he went out to “sacrifice”, Mommy didn’t abandon him. Mommy has been waiting for him.”
Joey concluded, “It’s obvious that men are playboys.”
Ki Ki said, “I’m not like that.”
Angel cried. “I don’t want a stepmother. I want my mommy.”
In a daze, Huo Xiaoran heard the children crying outside the window and woke up.
He carefully moved An’an to the bed, then tiptoed out of bed. He opened the bedroom door and saw the three children glaring at him angrily.
Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded. “Why are you looking at Daddy like that?”
“Hmph.” Angel snorted and left proudly.
Joey said, “I don’t like you anymore.”
Huo Xiaoran had a headache.
He’d just established a little bond with the children, and they were already so repulsed by him. Not a good sign.
Huo Xiaoran looked at his son and asked in confusion, “Ki Ki, what happened to them?”
Ki Ki ignored him and stalked away.
Xiaoran sighed in defeat.
He began to rack his brain to think of what he had done wrong. In the end, he seemed to understand.
Could it be that the children knew that he had asked someone to abuse Xing Xiaoya?
That must be it. The children were innocent and could not accept his brutality.
Huo Xiaoran nodded dejectedly and came to Xing Xiaoya’s room.
