BXBX NOVEL Chapter 497 - 497 Return of Ex-wife
Falcon was stunned for a moment before smiling calmly. He retracted his hand and said, “Yes, that’s for the best.”
Joey looked at Falcon and Xiao Ming. She was clearly disappointed to be left out. Xiao Ming knelt down and put Angel and Ki Ki down. When he saw Joey, his eyes were red and teary.
“Joey, I’m…” The word Dad caught in his throat.
At this moment, Qiao An walked out. After not seeing them for a long time, she had become haggard. When she saw Xiao Ming and Falcon, she forced a smile.
“Mommy, he said he’s our grandfather.” Angel ran to Qiao An and pointed at Falcon.
Qiao An looked at Falcon with a miserable expression.
Falcon said, “Qiao An, I think you resent me, so you don’t have to force it. I understand.”
Qiao An pulled Angel over, her eyes moist. “Call him Grandpa,” she said to Angel and Ki Ki.
Angel and Ki Ki looked surprised. Ki Ki said, “He’s really Grandpa.”
Then the two children called out crisply, “Grandpa.”
Falcon was overjoyed. The steel-like man’s eyes were bloodshot and abnormally bright.
Qiao An shifted her gaze to Xiao Ming again. “Do you want to acknowledge her?” she asked him.
Xiao Ming looked at Qiao An with gratitude, shame, and uneasiness. “An’an, you’re her mother. You will be for the rest of your life. Whether I should acknowledge her or not, I’ll listen to you.”
Qiao An knelt down and stroked Joey gently. Then she said to Joey, “Joey, do you like Uncle Xiao Ming?”
Joey looked at Xiao Ming and nodded.
“Then let him be your father. Okay?”
Instantly, Joey cried out in fear. She wrapped her arms around Qiao An’s neck and cried her heart out. “Mommy, I don’t want Father. Don’t send me away. Please.”
Seeing how resistant Joey was to leaving Qiao An, Xiao Ming immediately regretted his impulsive and rash decision.
Fortunately, Qiao An quickly calmed her. “Joey, you won’t leave Mommy. Ever. It’s just that from today onwards, you’ll have another father.”
Hidden in her mother’s arms, Joey secretly glanced at Xiao Ming with her eyes and shook her head. “I don’t want Father. I only want Mom. I have a Dad. His name is Huo Xiaoran.” Her emotions were much better.
Qiao An stood up and said to Xiao Ming, “This needs to be done slowly. Don’t be anxious.”
Xiao Ming nodded and said bitterly, “Qiao An, it’s been hard on you. In the future, I’ll settle the children’s matters until Xiaoran comes home.”
Qiao An nodded, her eyes red.
After Xiaoran did not return home for a long time, Qiao An realized that there was no truth behind the saying about time being the greatest cure. This was because her heart became heavier day by day. As a result, after a hundred days, she began to despair and concluded that Xiaoran could not return.
The once confident and sunny Qiao An was gone.
In its place was a very depressed, very unhappy Qiao An.
Huo Xiaoran’s departure left many things for Qiao An to deal with. For example, Xiaoran’s Angel Group.
Li Zecheng had specially come to look for Qiao An about the Angel Group and asked for her opinion. “An’an, what do you want to do with the Angel Group?”
Then, he raised two constructive suggestions. “An’an, you have three children. If you don’t have the energy to manage the company, you can transfer the company’s shares. You can obtain a generous sum of cash. I believe it will be enough for you to live without worry for the rest of your life.”
“But this isn’t the best way out. You can still keep Xiaoran’s Angel Group and leave the company to other trusted people to manage. If you’re willing to believe me, I can take care of it for you. It’s just that I’m afraid that if I don’t manage it well, I’ll lose Uncle’s hard work.”
Qiao An thought for a moment and said, “Xiaoran established the Angel Group with the intention of benefiting humanity, so the Angel Group won’t close. Although I don’t have enough energy, there’s still you and Huo Zhou. You’re both business elites. I’m relieved that you’ll merge with the company representing Xiaoran.”
Li Zecheng said, “I know what you’re thinking.”
When he left the Heavenly Imperial Garden, Li Zecheng looked back three times with every step. When he saw Qiao An’s desolate face, his heart tightened.
His once-dead heart rippled again.
He thought that he had to protect Qiao An well this time.
When Li Zecheng returned home absent-mindedly, he saw Wei Xin standing at his door with the child.
Li Zecheng walked over and carried the child from her. He said gratefully, “Wei Xin, thank you for sending the child over.”
“Daddy,” his son who was stricken with cerebral palsy called out vaguely.
Li Zecheng smiled and replied, “Yes.”
Wei Xin stood still with no intention of leaving.
Li Zecheng looked at her suspiciously. “Wei Xin, is there anything else?”
Wei Xin suddenly stepped forward and hugged Li Zecheng as she cried. “Zecheng, can we still be together? I really still love you.”
Li Zecheng pushed her away in panic. “Wei Xin, you’re a married woman. Why can’t you learn your lesson and do such a disgraceful thing?”
Wei Xin fell to the ground and covered her face as she cried.
“I regret it. Zecheng, I never wanted to divorce you. I divorced you back then in anger.”
Li Zecheng said, “Everyone has to be responsible for their actions. Wei Xin, we’re not children.”
At this moment, the door opened and Li Ze’en walked out with the teacher from the training institution. Wei Xin looked at the teacher and then at Li Zecheng. She suddenly roared angrily, “Do you like her?”
The teacher glanced at Li Zecheng and explained to Wei Xin, “To tell you the truth, Miss Wei, actually, he doesn’t like me. It’s just that I realized that I like him very much. I like that he is loving and responsible to the child, so I’m pursuing him.”
Li Ze’en rolled her eyes at Wei Xin and said, “Wei Xin, don’t come again. My mother and I like her to be my brother’s wife. Don’t disturb them. Moreover, you’re a married woman now. It’s very embarrassing for you to do this. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your husband later? What do you think your husband will do when he finds out that you have the intention to cheat?”
Wei Xin got up in a sorry state and staggered away.
Li Zecheng looked at the teacher. “Why are you here?”
She smiled shyly. “I’m giving the child some training courses. I’m sorry, I deliberately said that just now to make your ex-wife give up.”
Li Zecheng heaved a sigh of relief.
...
Li Ze’en said, “Brother, Mom and I like her. Consider it.”
Li Zecheng entered the room with a dark expression.
