442 Protective Uncle
Mr. Xiao was furious and roared at one of the servants, “Where’s my whip? I’m going to beat the two of you to death today. Just pretend that I never gave birth to you.”

The servant’s heart ached for Xiao Yue, and she dawdled, unwilling to bring the whip.

“Hurry up and go.” Mr. Xiao flew into a rage.

When the servant brought the whip over, Qiao He protected Xiao Yue under him and gritted his teeth to accept the beating.

Mr. Xiao raised his whip again and again. Qiao An’s heart ached for Qiao He. Tears flickered in her eyes, but she resisted the urge to plead for Qiao He.

On the other hand, Huo Xiaoran felt that he had to do something when he saw Qiao An’s sad expression.

He turned around and walked out. He found the three children playing in the courtyard and whispered into their ears. The children immediately ran towards the lobby.

When they saw their beloved uncle and aunt being beaten up, the three cute children immediately ran over and cried.

“Don’t beat my uncle and aunt.” The children cried their hearts out.

Joey stood in front of Mr. Xiao and held his hand tightly. She begged bitterly, “Grandpa, Grandpa, please don’t hit my uncle.”

When Mr. Xiao saw Joey’s face which looked like Xiao Ming’s, he was shocked. The kinship between generations instantly overflowed. He stopped the whip in his hand and hurriedly wiped the tears from Joey’s bean-sized eyes.

Joey kept pressing him. “Grandpa, don’t hit Uncle and Aunt, okay? Okay?”

The soft little girl made it difficult for anyone to resist her cuteness. Mr. Xiao’s eyes were also moist at this moment. He hugged Joey and choked. “Okay, okay, okay. Grandpa won’t hit them anymore. I won’t hit them anymore.”

Tears streamed down Angel’s face as she cried and laughed. “Grandpa won’t hit Uncle anymore.”

When Mr. Xiao saw the cute angel, he also pulled her into his arms.

Ki Ki reached out to pull Qiao He, but Qiao He hugged him affectionately. Qiao He was so touched that tears flowed down his face. “Uncle didn’t dote on you for nothing. Ouch, it hurts.”

Because the hug affected the wound, Qiao He bared his teeth in pain.

Angel immediately ran to Qiao He and wheezed hard at his back. “Uncle, it won’t hurt anymore if I wheeze for you.”

Qiao He smiled when he saw Joey and Angel’s sympathetic expressions. “Uncle doesn’t hurt anymore. Angel and Joey, you guys are too awesome. Uncle’s injuries were healed by you.”

Joey and Angel immediately smiled brightly.

When Madam Xiao saw this, her cold heart began to melt. Qiao He’s gentleness, meticulousness, and doting on the children made her feel warm.

She was a military wife. In her life, she had countless difficult moments. However, she faced them bravely every moment, and her husband was someone else’s heaven, but not hers alone.

At that moment, Mrs. Xiao accepted Qiao He.

She took out the ointment from the medicine box and personally handed it to Qiao He. “Qiao He, this ointment is effective. Take it.”

Madam Xiao’s concern for Qiao He touched him. “Thank you, Mom.”

He called her mother from the bottom of his heart, but it made everyone in the room so awkward that they had goosebumps.

They secretly found it funny. Qiao He had yet to obtain the Xiao family’s approval and had already started to address his mother-in-law as Mom. How eager was he to enter the family?

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xiao replied calmly, “Yes.”

Everyone was shocked again. So Madam Xiao approved of this son-in-law?

Mr. Xiao was dissatisfied with Mrs. Xiao’s actions and reprimanded her sternly, “Madam, they’re not married yet. Isn’t it too early to change their address?”

Mrs. Xiao glared at him. “Qiao He is gentle and considerate to children, so the children really like him. Can’t you see that Qiao He is protecting your daughter? I believe he can give Yueyue happiness.”

Xiao Yue’s mother said earnestly, “I don’t want my daughter to be like me, getting pregnant on her own, going for physical examinations on her own, giving birth on her own, and going through confinement on her own. I’ve experienced the pain of having a husband but having to rely on myself for everything, so I don’t want my daughter to go through it again.”

Mr. Xiao looked guilty. Afterward, he did not object so strongly to Qiao He and Xiao Yue.

Qiao An beamed when she saw that Qiao He had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her smile and his brows relaxed.

At this moment, Huo Zhou suddenly asked Huo Xiaoran, “You got these three cute children to be here, right?”

His words woke her from her reverie. Qiao An looked at Huo Xiaoran and hooked his finger excitedly. “Thank you, Brother Xiaoran.”

Mr. Xiao looked at Huo Xiaoran bitterly while Huo Xiaoran glared at Huo Zhou angrily. This guy had betrayed him. How could he let him off easy?

“Zhou Zhou, you’re the only single person left in this family.” Huo Xiaoran diverted everyone’s attention with ill intentions.

Instantly, everyone’s topic surged to Huo Zhou. Huo Zhou’s parents were anxious. “Yes, my Zhou Zhou is already so old, but he hasn’t been in love. I’m so anxious.”

Huo Zhou’s mother was not afraid of embarrassing herself. She openly begged everyone, “Pay more attention to the single girls around you so that you can introduce them to my Huo Zhou.”

Xiao Yue liked to join in the fun. “Aunt, what kind of daughter-in-law are you looking for? I have many single girls around me. Many of them admire Cousin.”

Zhou Zhou’s mother looked at her son in disdain. “As long as it’s a woman.”

Huo Zhou looked at his mother speechlessly.

At this moment, Old Madam Huo shifted her gaze to Xiaoran and Qiao An and solemnly entrusted Huo Zhou’s marriage to Huo Xiaoran. “Xiaoran, your cousin listens to you the most, and you have good taste. When you meet a good girl, help him observe more. As long as you young people have no objections, our Huo family will accept her.”

Huo Xiaoran immediately felt immense pressure. He glanced at Huo Zhou. “Did you hear that? Grandma handed your marriage to me. Go on a blind date tomorrow.”

Huo Zhou felt had nothing to live for.

The banquet ended in a soul-stirring and harmonious atmosphere.

A few days later, when Qiao An saw Rosa again under Old Master Xiao’s arrangements, Rosa looked at her with a murderous aura.

Qiao An greeted her very calmly. “Are you unhappy because Li Zecheng and Li Ze’en are unwilling to perjure themselves for you?”

Rosa’s lips curled into a ferocious sneer. “Qiao An, do you know that you’re too smart?”

Qiao An gestured for her to sit down.

Rosa sat across the desk and glared at Qiao An angrily. “Why are you looking for me again?”
