Chapter 282: Jealousy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Xiaoran had many questions in his heart. “I want to know when you met Xiao Ming.”

Qiao An said angrily, “Huo Xiaoran, I’ll say it again. From the moment you decided to marry Lu Mo, you have no right to ask about me.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An helplessly and sighed bitterly. “Qiao An, you’re too innocent. I’m just worried that you’ll be deceived by a scumbag again.”

Qiao An stared at him in shock. “You are a scumbag, in my eyes.”

Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded before turning around and leaving dejectedly.

Qiao An suddenly muttered behind his back, “Brother Xiao Ming and I are not what we seem. I just respect him.”

When Huo Xiaoran returned to his house, Huo Zhou had been waiting for a long time. “Xiaoran, are you looking for me?”

Huo Xiaoran nodded. “Come in.”

Huo Zhou followed behind Huo Xiaoran and entered the house. He asked Huo Xiaoran in confusion, “It’s so late. Did you suddenly call me over for something important?”

Huo Xiaoran sat on the sofa tiredly and the sofa sank in. Huo Zhou looked at the confused Xiaoran. It was a helplessness he had never seen on Huo Xiaoran.

“Did Xiao Ming’s appearance make you feel threatened?” Huo Zhou asked.

Huo Xiaoran stared at Huo Zhou. “Didn’t you realize that Xiao Ming and Joey look alike?”

Huo Zhou recalled Joey’s face in his mind. Her rather recognizable phoenix eyes and small earlobes perfectly matched Xiao Ming’s sharpness.

Huo Zhou stood up in shock. “Xiaoran, you suspect that Joey is Xiao Ming’s daughter?”

“Zhou Zhou, can you help them do a paternity test?” Huo Xiaoran asked.

Huo Zhou said with a troubled expression, “Xiaoran, you might not know Cousin Xiaoming well. That person is cunning and especially vigilant. If he doesn’t want us to know about this, we won’t be able to get anything on him at all.”

Huo Xiaoran’s slender eyebrows instantly darkened. “Then get someone to knock him out.”

Huo Zhou smiled and shook his head. As time passed, Huo Xiaoran’s gentleness had already disappeared. He became more and more vicious.

Huo Zhou reminded him, “Xiaoran, you might not know, but our grandmother was born into a military family. The Xiao family has been in the military for four generations. The boys and girls in their family have to train in martial arts since they were young. It’s for them to serve the country when they grow up. As for Cousin Xiao Ming, he’s a martial arts genius. He also studied in a military university. He was originally a person with a lot of medals, but suddenly in his third year, he told his family that he had found a direction in life and abandoned the army to become a businessman. His father was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. Fortunately, his grandfather respected his child’s personality development. Then, he gave him a sum of money to go to Southeast Asia to start his own business.”

“When Cousin Xiao Ming left, he said that if he didn’t make a career for himself, he would never come back. However, after so many years, he was already married and divorced. He returned to being single. His business empire had no achievements. In the past few days, the Xiao family had been very unhappy because of him. One side thought that Xiao Ming should stay in the capital and find something to do. However, his grandfather thought that returning without succeeding was a disgrace; he wanted him to get lost and return to Southeast Asia. He wanted him to come back after he succeeded.”

At this point, Huo Zhou smiled and said, “Xiaoran, with his skills, we might not be able to subdue him even if we find a platoon of soldiers. So if you want to knock him out and get his hair, that’s even harder than going to the Shu Dao.”

Huo Xiaoran stretched out his hand and suddenly clenched his slender fingers tightly. The glass in his hand suddenly broke.

Huo Zhou was stunned. He had forgotten that Huo Xiaoran was also a boxing expert.

He had once won many competitions in the Chinese University’s martial arts competition with results that left the second placed competitor in the dust. Huo Zhou had personally witnessed that competition. Huo Xiaoran’s skills, coupled with the brain of the God of Studying, were surprisingly agile and fast. He could even find his opponent’s shortcomings on the spot.

He was really a martial arts genius.

“Xiaoran, you and Xiao Ming might still be able to compete.” Huo Zhou was still very confident in Xiaoran winning. “Although Xiao Ming practices martial arts all year round and is skilled in martial arts, you react faster and are smarter than him. You might have a chance of winning.”

Huo Xiaoran stared at Huo Zhou incredulously. He believed that Huo Zhou just wanted to watch them fight.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Why use force if you can solve it with your brain?”

Huo Zhou looked at him in a daze. “Xiaoran, do you have a good idea?”

“Since it’s rare for Eldest Cousin to come back, shouldn’t the three of us have a few drinks?”

Huo Zhou understood. “Haha, you want to drug him and get him drunk, right?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “How much can he drink?”

“All the men in the Xiao family know how to drink.”

Huo Xiaoran looked confident.

The two of them discussed for a while before Huo Zhou left in satisfaction.

The next day, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran arrived at the Xiao family’s villa with ulterior motives. Unfortunately, Qiao An also brought the cute Joey and Angel Qiao for a visit.

When Huo Xiaoran saw Qiao An looking for Xiao Ming, his face darkened. “What are you doing here?” Huo Xiaoran’s voice was cold, and his gaze was even more fierce.

Qiao An felt guilty. Her eyes flickered.

She had deliberately sent Joey to the Xiao family in hopes that Joey and Xiao Ming could spend more time together.

But she couldn’t tell anyone what she was thinking.

Qiao An stammered, “I have to go out for something. I want Yueyue to take care of the child for me.”

At that moment, Xiao Yue and Xiao Ming walked out. When they saw Qiao An and the two children, Xiao Ming couldn’t suppress the surprise in his eyes.

His tall, imposing body trembled as he took a step forward. Then he squatted in front of Joey and Angel Qiao and pinched the cheeks of the two children affectionately.

He could actually tell at a glance that Joey was his daughter. But he couldn’t show any partiality, because he knew there was a good chance he would never be able to acknowledge her.

Well, let her be Qiao An’s daughter forever.

“Sister Qiao, these two babies are so cute.”

Qiao An carefully glanced at Huo Xiaoran. Seeing his cold expression and crazy jealousy, Qiao An’s heart inexplicably ached.

Xiao Ming pulled the two children into his arms and hugged one in each hand. His fatherly love was overflowing. He said, “Sister Qiao, you have something to do. Xiao Yue will take care of the children for you.”

When he passed by Huo Xiaoran, Huo Xiaoran suddenly reached out to stop him.

Xiao Ming looked at Huo Xiaoran in shock.

Huo Xiaoran’s gaze shifted to the child. His sharp gaze was as soft as mud at this moment. He waved at Angel Qiao. “Baby, Uncle will carry you. Uncle will bring you guys to play today.”

Angel Qiao liked Huo Xiaoran and immediately pounced on him. “Uncle Huo.”
