398 Marriage of Happiness
Only then did Huo Xiaoran give up.
Qiao An happily flipped the marriage certificate around for a long time before carefully keeping it in her bag.
She looked at Huo Xiaoran with a smile, but as she smiled, tears came out of her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Ran quickly wiped her tears.
“Brother Xiaoran, I can finally be your legitimate wife.” Qiao An threw herself into his arms and cried tears of joy.
Huo Xiaoran reminded her, “Then shouldn’t you change your address?”
Qiao An blushed and said coquettishly, “Hubby.”
This greeting was like spring returning to the land, making Huo Xiaoran extremely excited.
He hugged Qiao An tightly with both arms and choked. “You know I dreamed of you calling me that. Today, I finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish.”
Then he called softly into her ear, “Honey.”
The children rushed over and cheered happily. “Daddy, Mommy, where’s your marriage certificate?”
Huo Xiaoran handed the marriage certificate to the children, who flipped through the marriage certificate excitedly. When they saw their parents’ wedding photo, they discussed enthusiastically, “This is Daddy, this is Mommy. They’re really married.”
“This name is Huo Xiaoran, and this name is Qiao An.”
“Daddy and Mommy are really married. We have a daddy now.”
Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.
“Am I not your daddy without a marriage certificate?” He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Angel Qiao said, “We used to have many fathers, but only you and Mommy have a marriage certificate.”
Huo Xiaoran glared at Qiao An angrily. “Aren’t you going to explain to me what’s going on with many fathers?”
Qiao An giggled crisply. “The children used to want a daddy, so I casually pointed out some male celebrities to be their daddy.”
Huo Xiaoran immediately felt like he was cuckolded.
He was clearly jealous as his cold gaze shrouded Qiao An.
Qiao An explained, “You can’t blame me. The three of them had different expectations of their daddy. Joey liked a cop uncle to be his daddy. Angel liked a handsome guy. Ki Ki liked a hunk… so I lied to them…”
Angel said, “Daddy, don’t be angry. Mommy doesn’t even know the real names of those daddies. She still likes you the most. Because she will draw your portrait. She cries when she sees your photo… and…”
Qiao An covered Angel’s mouth. “Baby, you’re talking too much.”
Huo Xiaoran was instantly in a good mood. “You love me so much?”
Qiao An blushed and hit him lightly.
Huo Xiaoran held Qiao An’s hand and walked out.
The staff behind could not stop smiling after watching their sweet love drama.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An looked up and saw a dejected figure opposite the street.
“Li Zecheng?” Huo Xiaoran had the arrogant expression of a winner. He said to the children, “Get in the car first. Daddy and Mommy will be here soon.”
The children obediently climbed into the car.
Huo Xiaoran held Qiao An’s hand and walked across the street. Li Zecheng looked at them in their high spirits in matching outfits. A bitter smile appeared in his eyes.
“You’re finally married?”
Huo Xiaoran bragged, “If you hadn’t delayed us for a few years, An’an and I would have gotten married long ago.”
Li Zecheng looked at the three children who stuck their heads out of the car and said in a jealous tone, “Uncle, but I didn’t affect you from making babies, right?”
Whether it was their appearance or temperament, those three children could be said to be the most beautiful children in the world. When Li Zecheng saw them, he couldn’t help but think of his children with Wei Xin. Compared to Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s children, they were like swans in the sky and ugly ducks on the ground.
At that moment, Li Zecheng felt a strong sense of regret. He even secretly thought how good it would have been if he and Qiao An had a boy and a girl back then. With Qiao An’s looks and intelligence, their children would not fare badly.
It was just that imagination was beautiful, but the reality was the opposite.
All his fantasies were for nothing.
Huo Xiaoran changed the topic. “No matter what, I should thank you for being able to witness the great day of my marriage with my wife.”
“Tell me. What are you doing here?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
Li Zecheng hesitated. His expression was unnatural as if it was difficult to speak.
Qiao An knew that Huo Xiaoran wanted to help the Li family return to a peaceful world, and she also knew that one was arrogant and conceited, while the other was ashamed of his inferiority. If they were allowed to confront each other, there might not be a result for a long time.
Qiao An went straight to the point. “Hubby, your third brother abandoned his wife and son. This is really inappropriate. Why don’t you help Li Zecheng and give him a job to support his family?”
Huo Xiaoran rolled his eyes at Li Zecheng. “You have a mouth, but don’t you know how to speak? Why? Do you still want your dignity? How much is it worth? Li Zecheng, if you want to make a comeback, you still have to turn around and beg those people who were originally licking your feet. If you can’t put down your dignity, don’t expect to revive the Li family.”
“Uncle, I… I just feel guilty towards you and Qiao An… I’m really too ashamed to beg you…”
Huo Xiaoran corrected her. “Qiao An is my legitimate wife from today onwards. You should call her aunt in the future.”
Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An in a daze and said with difficulty, “Aunt.”
Qiao An replied happily, “Aye.”
Li Zecheng was speechless.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Tell me, why are you looking for me? I’ll give you three minutes.”
Li Zecheng struggled with difficulty. After some hesitation, he knelt in front of Huo Xiaoran and said, “Uncle, I beg you to forgive me and give me a chance to stand up again.”
Huo Xiaoran sneered. “Get up. Your knees should only kneel to Qiao An in this life.”
Li Zecheng widened his eyes.
Huo Xiaoran said hatefully, “Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused her? Do you know how much you’ve overturned her life? Li Zecheng, because of you, Qiao An won’t be able to live in peace for the rest of her life. I really want to kill you…”
Qiao An pulled Huo Xiaoran back. “Hubby.”
This gentle address immediately melted Huo Xiaoran’s heart.
Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were red as he said, “Forget it. It’s all in the past. Li Zecheng, get up. From tomorrow onwards, come to work at the Angel Group.”
Li Zecheng got up with a puzzled expression. He could tell that there was a hidden meaning in Huo Xiaoran’s words. Qiao An seemed to be in big trouble.
After thanking his uncle, Li Zecheng left in despondency.
Huo Xiaoran was stunned on the spot, his emotions fluctuating.
“Honey…” Qiao An called out again.
Huo Xiaoran restrained his impatience and looked back at Qiao An with a smile. “Let’s go.”
