398. Sweet receipt of certificate, witnessed by children
"Joy is my daughter and has nothing to do with the Xiao family." Qiao An declared firmly.
Father Xiao wanted to argue, but Joey suddenly became emotional. She angrily said to Father Xiao: "I am my mommy's daughter, I am not a child of the Xiao family."
She hugged Qiao An tightly, for fear of being taken away.
Father Xiao sighed helplessly when he saw Joey's dependence on Qiao An.
Qiao An comforted Joey: "Don't be afraid, honey, no one can take you away from Mommy. Mommy will protect you. Don't worry."
Joey's mood stabilized slightly.
Mr. Xiao knew that this was not the time to discuss Joey's ownership. He gave his son a look, stood up and said goodbye: "Qiao An, Xiaoran, we are taking the liberty to disturb you today."
After saying that, the two of them walked away.
After leaving Xiaoran's home, Xiao's father asked his father in confusion: "Dad, are we just going to watch Joey grow up in the Huo family?"
Mr. Xiao rolled his eyes at him and said seriously: "Don't you see that Qiao An really loves Joey?"
Father Xiao recalled the scenes of Qiao An and Joey getting along, Joey's dependence on Qiao An, and Qiao An's domineering protection of Joey, leaving no doubt that they were mother and son.
"Having said that, Joey is our Xiao family's flesh and blood after all. How can we just watch her grow up next to others?"
Mr. Xiao said: "Bloodline is important, but isn't Joey's healthy growth more important? I think Qiao An really loves that child. Having parents like Qiao An Xiaoran is actually no less important than growing up in the Xiao family.
In our Xiao family, besides your wife, who else can raise Joey? And your wife may not be more suitable than Qiao An."
Father Xiao thought for a while, Qiao An was young, bright, lively and cheerful. So her three children were very cute.
Father Xiao said nothing more.
Father Xiao was just confused: "I just don't understand, why did Xiao Ming entrust Joey to an outsider like Qiao An? Instead of entrusting the child to us?"
Mr. Xiao smiled and said: "Xiao Ming is not stupid. Of course he knows that Qiao An is more suitable to raise Joey than us."
Father Xiao thought of the useful sons and daughters of the Xiao family, most of whom did not die well, and remained silent.
At that moment, he completely gave up on Joey's stubborn idea of going home.
This weekend.
Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An rarely had a leisurely time.
Qiao An suggested: "Brother Xiaoran, let's take the children out to play."
The children were very happy.
"I'm going to the amusement park." Angel said.
"I'm going to the zoo." Joey said.
KIKI sighed: "Oh, I still have to go to the training class to practice martial arts."
Huo Xiaoran hugged KIKI into her arms and said distressedly: "Daddy, please ask for leave for you. Okay?"
KIKI's eyes suddenly lit up. "Really?"
He looked at Qiao An timidly: "Mommy, is it okay?"
Qiao An was always strict with KIKI, but when she saw the light of her child's expectations, she softened her heart. "I won't do this again."
A bright smile bloomed on KIKI's face.
When packing, Huo Xiaoran deliberately took out Qiao An's ID card and household registration book. Qiao An felt strange, "Brother Xiaoran, why did you bring your household registration book?"
Huo Xiaoran showed a confused smile: "You will know later."
Then the family, accompanied by bodyguards, went on a trip.
When the car stopped at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qiao An was shocked.
The children asked suspiciously: "Where is this?"
Huo Xiaoran turned around and explained to the children: "This is the Civil Affairs Bureau. Today, Daddy and Mommy are going to get the marriage certificate here. I want the three of you to witness with your own eyes the great moment of Daddy and Mommy's union. Are you happy?" p>
The children all dreamed that Mommy and Daddy would get married, and they immediately cheered. "Great, Mommy and Daddy are getting married."
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
Huo Xiaoran got out of the car, then opened the door for Qiao An, and invited Qiao An to get out of the car gentlemanly: "Miss Qiao An, will you marry me?"
Qiao An stepped out of the car gracefully and placed a kiss on Huo Xiaoran's forehead. "I do."
They entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and took pictures smoothly according to the procedures. At this moment, Qiao An discovered that she and Huo Xiaoran were wearing couple's outfits today. She was wearing a fiery red skirt, and he was wearing a shirt of the same color underneath the suit.
They seemed to be a perfect match. The photographers were full of praise for them: "This is the most beautiful bride and groom I have ever photographed. But..."
The photographer frowned and his eyes fell on the inseparable heads of Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An. Huo Xiaoran was so excited that she had squeezed Qiao An's face out of shape.
"Can you separate a little bit?" the photographer reminded. "The bride's face is deformed."
Huo Xiaoran reached out and touched Qiao An's face. This time he pressed Qiao An's face on his shoulder. The photographer smacked his lips: "The ID photo needs to be more formal."
He must be very depressed. No matter what actions these two people take, they are too close.
In the end, Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An adjusted their postures countless times. Under the photographer's countless dimensionality reduction blows, they ignored their pink bubbles and barely passed the photo.
When they came to the counter for applying for a marriage certificate with their photos, the staff glanced at them and saw that the two people could not hide their happiness. The staff seemed to be infected and smiled with open mouth.
"Do you really love each other?" he deliberately teased.
Huo Xiaoran said: "What are you looking at? The couple in front look like they were forced. You don't ask them if they really love each other. Ask us instead."
The staff explained: "That couple was forced to get married by their parents. Originally I was not willing to do it. But they immediately changed their story and said that they were in free love and got married voluntarily."
Qiao An suddenly felt sad: "Marriage is nothing but chicken feathers. If you don't really love each other, why bother entering the siege of marriage?"
The staff member glanced at Qiao An: "Girl, you are quite transparent."
Huo Xiaoran looked horrified: "An'an, don't talk nonsense. Will he misunderstand later that you are not willing to marry me?"
The staff really refused to mention anything: "Girl, are you really willing to marry him?"
Qiao An nodded: "Yes. Sincerely. I want to marry him in this life and in the next life."
The staff smiled and applied for a marriage certificate for them. Soon, the marriage certificate came out. Huo Xiaoran picked up the marriage certificate, took a look at it, and made a move to tear it up.
"Brother Xiaoran, what are you doing?" Qiao An was shocked.
Huo Xiaoran asked the staff: "Is it because I tore up the marriage certificate that I will not be able to apply for divorce in the future?"
The staff was dumbfounded.
Qiao An grabbed the marriage certificate and said with a smile: "Why tear it up? We won't get divorced."
