…………

Xia Ranran walked into the main building.

Now is the stage of preparing for the meal. The kitchen is busy, but there are a few people in the living room and lounge outside.

Xia Ranran immediately spotted the woman leaning on the side reading a book in the lounge.

It was the woman she had seen in Huo Jingshen's hotel suite - Qin Xiaoya.

Huo Zhengke noticed where Xia Ranran was looking and helped introduce him: "This is my third younger brother and sister."

These words swirled around in Xia Ranran's mind, and her eyes widened in shock, "What?"

"I believe you heard correctly," Huo Zhengke shrugged, "She is my third brother's widow. After my third brother passed away, she did not remarry and has been living in the Huo family mansion."

Xia Ranran gasped.

How can this be?

She originally thought that even if Huo Jingshen fell in love with a woman, that woman would be the daughter of an ordinary family at the worst, and Huo Jingshen was not willing to rely on women to gain power.

However, now that she heard Qin Xiaoya's life experience, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Qin Xiaoya is actually Huo Jingshen's third sister-in-law?

Between those two people...

Huo Zhengke looked at Xia Ranran's face that changed several times in a blink of an eye. He knew it well, but he still asked: "Is Miss Xia okay?"

Xia Ranran was brought back to her senses by Huo Zhengke's voice and nodded, "Well, I'm fine."

Huo Zhengke said: "Looking at your expression, I thought you knew the third brother and sister."

Xia Ranran shook her head and regained her composure, "I don't know him."

Huo Zhengke nodded regretfully, "Okay."

Xia Ranran glanced at Huo Zhengke, "I wonder what the second young master means by asking this?"

Huo Zhengke shrugged, "Miss Xia has wronged me. I don't mean anything. I just want you to introduce the members of our Huo family. This family dinner is only for our old man's family. Wait until the old man's birthday party." You will know when the time comes that the Huo family has many side branches and they are intricately connected."

Xia Ranran nodded and said nothing more.

Huo Zhengke said to Xia Ranran, "Then go upstairs and take a look? Duoduo and Xiaoqi should be in the children's room."

He waved for a maid and took Xia Ranran upstairs.

When she arrived at the door of the children's room, the maid opened the door for her, made an inviting gesture, and turned around to leave.

Xia Ranran heard bits and pieces of sound coming from the opened door.

Xia Duoduo's voice was soft and sweet, "Uncle Huo, are you having delicious sweet and sour pork ribs tonight?" She rolled her eyes and said, "Xiao Qi also likes it."

This little girl never forgets to bring Xiao Qi along with her, adding another accomplice to the united front.

Huo Jingshen sat cross-legged on the floor mat and asked, "Why don't you call me daddy?"

Xia Duoduo pouted and said nothing.

Huo Jingshen added: "If Duoduo doesn't say anything, then I will give all the sweet and sour pork ribs to Xiao Qi."

Huo Xiaoqi was making wool felt crafts with his dexterous little hands. When he heard someone calling his name, he raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and continued working on his own crafts.

He is not as obsessed with eating as Xia Duoduo, as long as he can fill his stomach and not be hungry.

If it was Xia Ranran's cooking and baked pastries, that would be a different matter.

Xia Duoduo then hummed softly and spoke: "Because... I'm afraid that my mommy will be angry. She hasn't come to see me for several times."

When Xia Ranran heard her daughter's words, her hand holding the doorknob stopped and froze her movements.

Huo Jingshen had already noticed the person at the door.

However, he did not speak, but moved his hands to hug Xia Duoduo and sit on his lap.

"Your mommy won't be angry with you, because I am your daddy."

Children still don't quite understand whether Huo Jingshen's words are true or comforting.

Huo Jingshen added, "She will come to see you tonight."

Xia Duoduo raised her head suddenly: "Really?"

"Well, when did dad lie to you?" Huo Jingshen smiled and looked at Xia Duoduo's bright eyes, "Why don't you call me dad?"

Xia Duoduo stretched out her hands and hugged Huo Jingshen's neck.

"Hello Dad!"

Xia Ranran was at the door, in a dilemma. She didn't know whether to go further.

It was like there was warmth in the room, but once she walked in, it would destroy the warmth.

Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a voice coming from the corridor.

"Miss Xia, what are you doing here?"

This sentence not only made Xia Ranran look over, but also the one, two, and three people in the room had already heard it.

Xia Ranran looked towards the corridor. The people coming were Qin Xiaoya and Huo Pengpeng.

Qin Xiaoya was holding a fruit platter in her hands, and the lotus leaf skirt on her body moved with the movement of her legs, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.

Huo Pengpeng was not as gentle as a lady like Qin Xiaoya, "Xia Ranran, why did you come to my house?"

Qin Xiaoya stopped Huo Pengpeng and said, "Pengpeng, you can't say that. Miss Xia is here as a guest."

Huo Pengpeng said dissatisfied: "The unfair treatment I received in the hospital was all due to her! Not to mention she also stole my fiancé!"

Now that she thought about Lu Sibai drawing a clear line with her, she felt cold in her heart.

What made her even more angry were Lu Sibai's parents.

She originally thought that she would just have to please Lu Sibai's parents, and nothing would go wrong by then. Who would have thought that after she was discharged from the hospital, she immediately went to see Lu Sibai's parents and reported that she was discharged from the hospital. He received the good news and sent many gifts, but Lu Sibai's parents politely refused.

Huo Pengpeng looked at Xia Ranran, "If you hadn't been gossiping about my brother Si Bai's parents, this kind of thing would never have happened!"

The door opened from the inside.

Huo Jingshen walked out with Xia Duoduo in his arms and looked at the people standing outside. "What are you doing standing here? Go down and get ready to eat."

Huo Pengpeng moved his lips, "I..."

"Pengpeng, go ask mom to come for dinner." Huo Jingshen interrupted Huo Pengpeng and gave her a warning look to prevent Huo Pengpeng from saying anything more unpleasant.

Qin Xiaoya held the fruit plate in her hand, "Then go down and eat. I also said that I would help these two children to serve it. I will call Xiao Qi out."

As she said this, she wanted to go in and find Huo Xiaoqi.

Huo Jingshen stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

He took the initiative to stop Qin Xiaoya, and when he left, he glanced at Xia Ranran.

Everyone was gone, leaving only Xia Ranran standing in the corridor and Huo Xiaoqi in the room.

Xia Ranran suddenly had an illusion. Did Huo Jingshen deliberately leave a space for her and Huo Xiaoqi to be alone?

How can it be?

A second ago, he pretended not to know him and called a lawyer to fight for the custody of his daughter. Now what is this kind of goodwill? A slap in the face and then a sweet date?
