558 Love Begets Hatred

At night, Huo Zhou and Sisi lay on the bed, separated by an invisible wall.

Sisi turned to look at Huo Zhou with a grievance in her eyes. “Zhou Zhou, are you really going to have a bet with Xiaoran and Qiao An?”

An unknown emotion flashed across Huo Zhou’s eyes. Four years ago, because his mother had set him up to consummate his marriage with Sisi, he had gotten married in a hurry. However, after getting married, he realized he could not get close to Sisi.

This made him very vexed and he often wanted to divorce Sisi. However, Sisi was very accommodating to him. Not only did she not blame him, but she also respected him and tolerated him.

He and Sisi could be friends who told each other everything. They just couldn’t be intimate lovers.

Seeing that Huo Zhou did not react, Sisi’s eyes inexplicably moistened. She choked and said to Huo Zhou, “Brother Zhou Zhou, I’ve been waiting for you for four years. For the past four years, I always thought that the human heart was made of flesh and would always warm up. But now, it seems that my thoughts are too childish. You don’t love me and won’t fall in love with me in this life, right?”

Sisi sat up and covered her face with both hands. “Even if you’re very good to me, you don’t love me. I once thought that I could spend the rest of my life guarding a marriage I didn’t love, but I was too young at that time. I was wrong.”

Huo Zhou looked at Sisi and asked softly, “So, do you want a divorce?”

Sisi shook her head desperately. “I don’t know. I’m just very sad. Brother Zhou Zhou, am I not good enough? Why can’t you try to love me?”

Huo Zhou said, “Sisi, I’m sorry. I also thought that I could defeat the obstacle in my heart and live a good life with you. But in the end, I realized I couldn’t get close to someone I didn’t love. I know this is very cruel to you, so if you want a divorce, I can fulfill your wish. I won’t owe you anything.”

Sisi said, “Let me think about it again.”

The next morning, Sisi ran to Qiao An’s villa with red eyes. The children received her. Angel told her softly, “Aunt, my mommy and daddy are still sleeping in.”

Sisi smiled bitterly.

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran’s relationship was perfect. They couldn’t wait to be together 24 hours a day.

Joey saw that Sisi’s eyes were red. She ran to Qiao An’s bedroom and knocked.

Qiao An woke up sleepily when she heard the knock on the door. However, she crawled into Huo Xiaoran’s arms in a daze.

She had injured her back some time ago and slept restlessly. For the past two days, she managed to lie on her back when sleeping. She would sleep endlessly.

Huo Xiaoran’s heart ached for Qiao An and he hugged her tightly.

“Daddy, time to get up,” Joey shouted.

Huo Xiaoran opened his sexy and charming phoenix eyes and saw Qiao An’s deductive and pure face. He suddenly realized that Qiao An was many years younger than him. She was in her early twenties when she had the children and was only 30 years old at present.

No wonder she still had a young and childish face after so many years. It made one’s heart beat faster.

Naturally, he couldn’t help it. He lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.

Qiao An wrapped her arms naturally around his neck. “Do you want it?” she asked.

Xiaoran said hoarsely, “I want it, but I wonder why Joey called me?”

Qiao An let go of him and said in a daze, “Then go and see the child. Brother Xiaoran, I still want to sleep for a while. Okay?”

Xiao Ran stroked her forehead with heartache. “Be good and sleep well. You haven’t rested well recently.”

When Huo Xiaoran woke up slowly and went downstairs, Angel and Joey rolled their eyes at their daddy in disdain. “The sun is already shining on your butts. Are you only willing to get up now? Daddy, Auntie Sisi couldn’t wait and has already left.”

Huo Xiaoran looked disappointed. If he had known that she would leave, he wouldn’t have woken up so early. He had delayed something good for nothing.

Angel continued, “Daddy, Aunt Sisi’s eyes were red. She seems to have cried.”

Joey had a sudden thought. “Could she have been abused by Uncle?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Joey speechlessly. This little girl was always thinking about domestic violence. Why did she have such strange thoughts? Could it be the aftereffects of seeing him beat Xing Xiaoya up?

In order to nurture his daughter’s positive and healthy mentality, Huo Xiaoran explained seriously, “How can there be so many cases of domestic violence in this world? Domestic violence is illegal.”

Ki Ki set his Lego aside and suddenly said, “Women like to cry.”

Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded again.

“Ki Ki, who told you that?”

Ki Ki pointed to his eyes. “No one needs to tell me. I saw it with my own eyes. Mommy is the crybaby of the world.”

Huo Xiaoran’s heart sank. An’an rarely cried in front of him. In the past, she didn’t cry when something big happened. It could be seen how hard An’an had worked in the past few years because of his disappearance.

His heart ached even more for An’an.

He glanced at the children. Now that the children had grown up and had their own independent judgment, their various thoughts made Huo Xiaoran, an old father, feel helpless.

“In the future, focus on your studies. Words like domestic violence and crying shouldn’t come out of little children’s mouths.”

“Daddy, we’re older now,” Ki Ki protested.

“Can an older child casually give others a nickname?”

“That’s Mommy, no one else,” Angel said.

Huo Xiaoran slapped his forehead. He felt that if he continued chatting with these children, he would most likely lose a few years of his life.

“Your two grandpas will come to our house in a few days. I will leave you to them for the time being. You also know that Grandpa is very strict. If you do anything wrong, Grandpa will punish you in the manner of a soldier. I hope you’ll take care of yourselves.” Huo Xiaoran used his father’s name to intimidate the children.

Unexpectedly, the children looked at him as if he was a national treasure. “Daddy, you don’t know your own daddy well,” Angel said.

Huo Xiaoran said, “You’ll know in the future. Grandpa is not to be trifled with.”

With that, Huo Xiaoran walked towards the kitchen and nagged, “I have to make breakfast for your mommy. I don’t have time to deal with you.”

Angel muttered, “In other families, it is the mommy that is doing the housework. Why is it reversed in our family?”

Ki Ki said, “I hope you can find a man who dotes on his wife as much as Daddy in the future. There’s a high chance you won’t be able to find him. Just wait to be single.”

Angel and Joey chased after Ki Ki.

When Huo Xiaoran heard the children fighting, he realized that the four years he had missed were really not short.
