As soon as Joey finished speaking, he saw Li Zecheng’s handsome face instantly covered in thick frost. On the contrary, Huo Xiaoran’s expression was extremely shocked.

“Angel? Angel Qiao?” Li Zecheng roared fiercely. “This name isn’t nice at all. Daddy wants to give you a new name. You’ll be called Qiao Xiaoze from now on.”

Angel Qiao was frightened by his fierce look and shrank into Huo Xiaoran’s arms.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Li Zecheng with a ruthless gaze and scolded sinisterly, “Li Zecheng, you can get lost now.”

Li Zecheng shouted angrily, “Hmph, why did my daughter use your online name?”

It was fine if he did not mention Huo Xiaoran’s online name, but when he mentioned Huo Xiaoran’s online name, it reminded Huo Xiaoran of him pretending to be him and deceiving Qiao An’s feelings.

If not for the fact that Huo Xiaoran was still young, he would have attacked Li Zecheng again.

“Li Zecheng, I’ll say it one last time. Get lost,” Huo Xiaoran gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Li Zecheng sensed that Huo Xiaoran’s patience had reached its limit and quickly fled.

“I’ll come again. Xiaoyue, tell Qiao An I’m willing to raise the baby with her.”

Huo Xiaoran said sinisterly, “No need. It was a mistake for you to be with Qiao An. I won’t allow this mistake to continue. Li Zecheng, I want you to completely disappear from Qiao An’s world. If you dare to appear in front of her again and make her feel suffocated, I won’t let you off.”

Li Zecheng muttered, “Can you make the decision for Qiao An? Who do you think you are to her?”

Under Huo Xiaoran’s warning gaze, Li Zecheng left resentfully.

Angel Qiao kissed Huo Xiaoran’s cheek as a reward and praised, “Uncle is so awesome. Yes, Uncle chased the bad guys away.”

Huo Xiaoran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou had yet to leave. Her heart was still hanging.

Xiao Yue tried to take the child from Huo Xiaoran’s arms and even started to chase them away. “Cousin, thank you for chasing Li Zecheng away. Now, you can go home and rest. I can take care of them alone.”

Huo Xiaoran had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stared at Xiao Yue and interrogated, “Where did Qiao An go?”

Xiao Yue looked embarrassed.

“Sister Qiao An didn’t tell me.”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly raised his voice. “Yueyue, you should know that Li Changhai hasn’t been arrested yet. It’s very dangerous for Qiao An to be alone.”

Huo Xiaoran hit the nail on the head, causing Xiao Yue to instantly waver.

Huo Zhou also chimed in for Huo Xiaoran, “Yueyue, if anything happens to Qiao An, these two children will be so pitiful.”

Xiao Yue was afraid. She told Huo Xiaoran, “Sister Qiao An should be near the Lu family to verify something.”

Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face froze for a moment. Then, he complained anxiously, “The most likely place for Li Changhai to hide is the Lu family. She actually dares to approach them.”

Xiao Ran placed the children on the ground and reached out to rub their heads reluctantly. She bade farewell gently. “Uncle still has something to do. Uncle will visit you another day. You have to listen to me and rest well for the next few days.”

“Yes. I understand.” Angel Qiao nodded solemnly.

Huo Xiaoran smiled and left.

Huo Zhou followed him and reprimanded him in disappointment, “Xiaoran, you should be hospitalized. Instead of returning to the hospital to see a doctor, you have to go all over the world to look for Qiao An at night. Did you owe her in your previous life?”

Huo Xiaoran didn’t even turn around. “I owe her my entire life.”

Then he went to the ground parking lot and drove directly to his new luxury car.

Huo Zhou quickly got into the car at the last moment and sighed helplessly. “Forget it, I’ll go crazy with you.”

In Huo Zhou’s memory, Huo Xiaoran had never driven a car. Perhaps it was because of his depression that his hands would occasionally tremble. This was a big taboo for drivers.

But now, Huo Xiaoran was driving personally. It was clearly a flat road, but the car was very bumpy.

Huo Zhou was extremely nervous as he stared at Huo Xiaoran’s hands, afraid that he would kill the both of them.

In order to distract him, Huo Zhou deliberately chatted with him. “Xiaoran, Qiao An named her daughter Angel Qiao. Your eldest nephew said that was your online name. Why do you think Qiao An named her that? She can’t still have feelings for you, right?”

A comfortable smile appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.

Huo Zhou said dejectedly, “Then Angel Qiao is really cute. Unfortunately, she’s not your daughter.”

Huo Xiaoran gritted his teeth. “That bastard Li Zecheng is really lucky.”

Huo Zhou said, “Fortunately, that child avoided all of Li Zecheng’s genes. That’s why she looks so cute.”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly raised his head and looked at Huo Zhou with a deep gaze. “What did you just say?”

Huo Zhou thought for a moment. “I said that the child doesn’t look like your eldest nephew at all?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou looked at each other suspiciously.

“Xiaoran, do you think it’s possible that that child isn’t Li Zecheng’s child?”

Huo Xiaoran shook his head. “Impossible. According to the child’s birthday, Qiao An was pregnant with the two children. Qiao An is a good girl who knows her place. She won’t mess around with a man outside Li Zecheng.”

Huo Zhou looked at him. “What about you?”

Huo Xiaoran glared at him. “It was an accident.”

Huo Zhou said excitedly, “Is it possible that the child is yours?”

Even in his dreams, Huo Xiaoran hoped that the child would be his. However, he did not have the confidence. He kept feeling that such good luck would not befall him.

Besides, he’d already done a paternity test with Joey.

“Wasn’t there a paternity test?”

“Is it possible that there was an error in the paternity test?” Huo Zhou asked.

Huo Xiaoran shook his head bitterly. “Qiao An took the initiative to give me the hair. It means that she must know that the child isn’t mine.”

Huo Zhou fell silent.

When the car arrived at the Lu family, Huo Xiaoran parked his car along the nearby road. In order to relieve the panic in his heart, he deliberately lit a cigarette.

When the cigarette was finished, he climbed out of the car.

The Lu family’s servants were tidying up the flowers and plants in the garden. From afar, they saw the Lu family’s son-in-law visiting. They were pleasantly surprised and ran inside to inform Lu Mo and Mrs. Lu.

“Madam, President Huo is here.”

Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo were overjoyed. The two of them looked at each other. Mrs. Lu said with a bright expression, “I believe your father went to the Huo family and told Old Master and Old Madam Huo about Qiao An’s character. That’s why Old Master and Old Madam sided with you. They must have forced Xiaoran to marry you.”

Lu Mo was 30% shy and 70% surprised.

Mrs. Lu quickly pulled her out to welcome Huo Xiaoran.
