Unexpectedly, not only was Qiao An not angry, but she also assured Huo Xiaoran, “Brother Xiaoran, just go to work in peace. Don’t worry about me.”
However, Huo Xiaoran was concerned about her. “I’ll get someone to send lunch back to you. You don’t have to do it yourself. If you’re bored, go find Xiao Yue to chat. Your bank card is in the drawer. If you want to shop, go find Xiao Yue to accompany you.”
Qiao An’s head drooped as she hugged him like a koala bear. “Don’t spoil me like that. It’ll make me feel useless.”
Huo Xiaoran rubbed her head and said intimately, “When I think about the past few years, you must have suffered a lot with the three babies alone. I feel very guilty and blame myself. An’an, I’m sorry. I made you suffer too much.”
Qiao An laughed crisply. She was optimistic by nature and didn’t like to remember the bad things. She always remembered the gentlest and most beautiful aspects of life.
!!
“Brother Xiaoran, it wasn’t hard on me at all. When I left the capital, didn’t you give me a huge sum of money? Then I’m a rich woman. I didn’t suffer, be it giving birth or raising children.”
Huo Xiaoran sighed. “You’re always so optimistic. Fortunately, you’re an optimistic person. That’s why you can still retain your innocence after experiencing so much suffering.”
Old Madam Huo listened to Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s conversation from afar. Her prejudice against Qiao An instantly disappeared.
In the past, she always felt that Qiao An’s interference in Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s relationship was a little inappropriate. How could a divorced woman have the confidence to reconcile with Xiaoran?
Now she understood. Because Qiao An was strong and optimistic and never underestimated herself. Of course, it was also because her love with Xiao Ran was indeed deep.
Old Madam Huo went from resisting Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s reconciliation to supporting and wishing them happiness.
She smiled peacefully and said to the servant beside her, “Let’s go back.”
The servant asked doubtfully, “Madam, aren’t you going in to greet them?”
Old Madam Huo said, “Look, there’s nothing in their eyes except each other. If I go in and disturb them at this time, they might not welcome me. Let’s come back another day.”
In the evening, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An strolled hand in hand on the way to kindergarten, but they bumped into Old Madam Huo and Old Master Huo.
It turned out that the old couple desperately wanted to see their great-grandchildren, so they were preparing to secretly go to the kindergarten to visit their child. Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An bumped into them.
“Grandma, Grandpa, are you guys out for a walk?” Huo Xiaoran asked despite knowing the answer.
The elderly couple looked a little embarrassed. Mr. Huo said casually, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ve been sitting for too long. I came out to stretch my muscles.”
Qiao An looked at the road. At the end of the road, it led straight to the kindergarten. She understood and took the initiative to invite the two elders. “Mr. and Mrs. Huo, Brother Xiaoran and I are preparing to pick up the children from school. Since we’re going the same way, why don’t we travel together and make it more lively?”
Old Madam Huo was more than happy to meet her great-grandchildren openly. She quickly nodded and said, “Okay, okay, okay.”
However, Huo Xiaoran gently corrected Qiao An. “An’an, call them Grandpa and Grandma.”
Qiao An looked at the old lady in embarrassment. She knew the old lady was very resistant to her.
The old madam smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. I have to pay for the change of address. I didn’t bring anything today, so how can I take advantage of An’an? Next time!”
Just like that, the four of them arrived at the kindergarten door.
The children walked out methodically, but all of them came out without Joey and the others. Qiao An remembered what Xiao Ming had told her. Instantly her body went cold.
“Where are the children?” She subconsciously held Huo Xiaoran’s hand tightly because she was nervous.
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An in confusion. Her anxiety made him feel very uneasy. “An’an, don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen to the children in school. They should have been left behind by a teacher.”
At this moment, the teacher walked towards Qiao An and introduced respectfully, “Sir, Angel Madam, Joey and the others are inside. In view of their outstanding performance in school today, our teacher agrees that their learning ability far exceeds that of children their age. Therefore, we want to discuss with you about changing classes for the children.”
Qiao An let out a heavy breath.
When Old Madam Huo and Madam Huo heard that the children’s performance was especially good, they were immediately overjoyed.
“An’an, Xiaoran, quickly go in and talk to the teachers about the children’s transfer.” Madam Huo urged the dazed Qiao An.
Huo Xiaoran and the others followed the teacher to the office. The three children were sitting at their desks with their hands supporting their cheeks. Their three extremely cute faces looked at the door expectantly.
When they saw their parents, they all smiled brightly.
The three smiling faces were welcoming.
Although Old Madam Huo and Old Madam Huo were at the back of the group, they were the first to notice the children. When they saw the children acting cute in unison, they were melted by their cuteness.
“What beautiful children.”
“Old man, I’ve finally found children who’s cuter and prettier than our daughter.”
Mr. Huo smiled and said, “That’s right. The student has surpassed the master.”
Madam Huo said, “Qiao An’s is beautiful, so she modified our Huo family’s genes.”
Mr. Huo was very objective. “My Xiaoran is also very good-looking.”
Huo Xiaoran walked up to the children and hugged them. He praised the children very happily, “Teacher said that your performance in school was especially good. Daddy has decided to reward you. Tell me, what gift do you want?”
“Lollipop.”
“A muppet.”
“Lego.”
The children cheered.
“Sure thing.”
Qiao An whispered to the teachers. “Teachers, thank you for your validation, but I don’t want to transfer the children. I know my children. Although they’re very good at learning, their psychological age is quite young. I don’t want the children to be treated specially.”
“But Ki Ki already knows everything we teach. In that case, he’ll be wasting his time in the classroom for the next year.” The teacher even took out the test papers they’d made for Ki Ki.
Qiao An looked at the headline on the paper—”Elementary School Entrance Test” and was dumbfounded when she saw the bright red 100.
She looked at Huo Xiaoran in distress. At this moment, Huo Xiaoran walked over and saw the results on the paper. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. I was like this when I was young. I scored full marks for the first grade and sixth grade.”
“Do you want to let him skip a grade?”
‘Let Ki Ki make the decision.’
Qiao An waved to Ki Ki, who walked over.
“Ki Ki , would you like to skip a grade and study with older brothers and sisters?”
Ki Ki replied, “I’m willing. I’ve long gotten tired of playing with the little ones.”
