Chapter 185 - Meeting His Daughter

Huo Xiaoran was only 29 years old, but his mentality was abnormally old. This made Huo Zhou, who was always feeling 18 years old, feel very ashamed.

“Don’t forget that you’re still single. You don’t have a wife, children, or a family. I really don’t know where your vicissitudes came from,” Huo Zhou teased him.

Huo Xiaoran grabbed his hair and tried to transfer the explosive pain in his head through self-abuse.

“I’m different from you!” Huo Xiaoran replied casually.

“How are we different? They’re all single,” Huo Zhou said.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Zhou Zhou, I’m very envious of you. You’re very well protected by aunt and uncle. Even though you’re over 30 years old, you’re still a bright youth.”

Huo Zhou pulled Huo Xiaoran up and said, “Stop talking nonsense. I see that your head hurts badly. I’ll send you to the hospital.”

Huo Xiaoran had never cared about her body. “I’m fine. It’s just the aftereffects of drinking.”

Huo Zhou said, “I have to check you before I can be at ease.”

Huo Zhou forcefully pulled Huo Xiaoran up and drove her to the hospital in his luxury car.

“Zhouzhou, don’t go to Jinghang Hospital.” On the way, Huo Xiaoran suddenly begged Huo Zhou.

Huo Zhou was stunned for a moment before sighing. “You don’t want to see Lu Mo, right?”

Huo Xiaoran didn’t say anything and looked out of the car window.

Huo Zhou said to himself, “Sigh, that Lu Mo is really too much. You’ve already made it so clear, yet she’s still pestering you. Look at how much psychological pressure she’s giving you.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Momo has cancer. I really can’t bear to reject her. After all, she’s the only girl who cares about me all these years.”

Huo Zhou snorted. “If she really loves you, she should stay away from you after getting cancer. Why drag you down?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “She’s a pampered eldest daughter and is just a little willful.”

“That’s being selfish.”

Huo Zhou said indignantly, “If it weren’t for the fact that this is the early stages of cancer, our family wouldn’t be willing to accept her as our daughter-in-law. She’s not worthy of you in any way.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Those who are worthy of me might not like me.”

Huo Zhou was speechless.

“Qiao An is really amazing. She made a decisive business tycoon like you so unconfident. Huo Xiaoran, there’s no girl in this world who’s worthy of you. Whoever marries you won’t lose out.”

Huo Xiaoran just didn’t understand. Since he was so good, why didn’t Qiao An want him?

They arrived at the hospital and Huo Xiaoran took an intracranial CT. The result was the same as usual.

Huo Xiaoran even said to Huo Zhou, “I knew it. I’m a doctor. How can I not understand my own body? You just like to worry about me. You should worry more about your own marriage in the future.”

After Huo Zhou saw the examination report, he felt relieved.

He smiled and said, “As long as someone can carry on the Huo family’s bloodline, Grandpa won’t have any regrets. In my opinion, you’re smarter and better-looking than me. I’ll leave this important mission to you.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Don’t count on me.”

The two of them teased each other, but they accidentally bumped into the Little Rice Ball. The Little Rice Balll was knocked to the ground and immediately cried pitifully.

“Mommy, I want Mommy.”

“Uncle, where did you go?”

Huo Xiaoran squatted down guiltily and picked up the child. He gently wiped her tears and said, “Baby, Uncle will take you to Mommy, okay?”

The girl shook his head and cried. “No, I want to wait for my uncle.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at this delicate little girl. When his gaze slid across her eyebrows, he was so shocked that he froze on the spot.

The kid looked too much like Qiao An?

Her big obsidian eyes were as bright as stars. There was also her tall nose and pink jelly lips. Her facial features were as exquisite as a porcelain doll, pure and otherworldly.

Qiao An was an adult after all. Her innocence brought with it a desire that made one’s heart flutter. However, this little girl was adorable.

Huo Xiaoran realized that his heart felt a little strange at that moment, as if a flower had suddenly bloomed in the desert and a clear spring had emerged from a dry well. A desire that represented hope was sprouting.

He loved this little girl too much.

“Zhou Zhou?” He grabbed Huo Zhou’s hand excitedly.

“Does she look like Qiao An to you?”

Huo Zhou frowned and savored it.

However, he was very bad at judging people’s appearance. For example, he felt that all the internet celebrities in the live-stream shared the same face.

“There are many people who look alike,” Huo Zhou said disapprovingly.

Huo Xiaoran held the child’s hand and looked around, trying to find a familiar figure in the crowd.

When Qiao He realized that Angel Qiao had disappeared, he turned around and ran back. Then, he saw Huo Xiaoran hugging Angel Qiao.

Qiao He was helpless. He thought of something in a hurry and gave the passerby two dollars. He asked her to pretend to be the child’s mother and help him bring the child over.

The woman did not cooperate with him at first. After all, Qiao He’s behavior looked more like a child trafficker.

Qiao He took out the photo album on his phone and took out the photo of the child, his mother, and his daily life. Only then did the woman completely believe her.

The woman pretended to be flustered and ran to Huo Xiaoran. “Sir, thank you. This is my daughter. Please return her to me.”

Huo Xiaoran reluctantly handed the child to the woman.

Huo Zhou pulled him away.

Huo Xiaoran walked for a while and felt that something was wrong. He suddenly said to Huo Zhou, “Oh no, that woman might be a human trafficker.”

Huo Zhou was speechless. “In her eyes, you’re more like a human trafficker.”

Huo Xiaoran raised his opinion. “She’s not like that child at all.”

Then he turned around and ran back.

Huo Zhou sighed helplessly.

“As soon as you get involved with Qiao An, you don’t take the usual path.”

Huo Xiaoran returned to the previous place and realized that the woman had already disappeared. A disappointed expression appeared on his face.

Huo Zhou comforted him. “That child doesn’t cry or make a fuss. It’s obvious that she’s her mother.”

Only then did Huo Xiaoran give up.

If he had known that Angel Qiao would cry when any strange man hugged him and not when any strange woman hugged him, he would have mourned for three minutes.

On the way back, Huo Xiaoran felt uneasy.

“Zhou Zhou, if Qiao An hadn’t miscarried back then, my child would have been as old as that little girl just now.” Huo Xiaoran felt pained and regretful.

Huo Zhou was stunned.

With Huo Xiaoran’s reminder, many unrealistic thoughts instantly appeared in his mind. “Could that little girl be Qiao An’s?”
