473 Harmony
Huo Zhou patted Huo Xiaoran’s shoulder. “Your wife is good at everything, but she’s too smart.”
Huo Xiaoran was speechless. He asked him back, “If I don’t marry a smart wife, do I have to marry a stupid one? If I choose a stupid one, could she have planned and given birth to my children? Could she escape unscathed with my child from the bandits’ nest? Could she fight with someone like Lu Mo?”
Huo Zhou was stunned.
To be fair, he had to admit that Huo Xiaoran’s life was really bumpy. If it were an ordinary woman, she might not be able to cope with Huo Xiaoran’s rugged life.
With Qiao An’s intelligence, she seemed to be made for Huo Xiaoran.
Huo Xiaoran patted Huo Zhou’s shoulder instead. “Zhou Zhou, your life is smooth-sailing. In addition, you have a simple personality and haven’t suffered any setbacks. Actually, you can marry an innocent girl. A girl like Sisi who isn’t vigilant is very suitable for you.”
Huo Zhou pouted and did not comment. Soon, his mother brought Sisi over.
After not seeing her for a few days, her short hair had already been extended. She was wearing a red dress and looked especially beautiful.
When Qiao An saw Sisi, she smiled. She circled Sisi twice and praised, “Sisi, you looked heroic in men’s clothes. When you revert back to wearing women’s clothes, you’re gentle and charming. You’re really versatile.”
Huo Zhou’s mother pulled Qiao An to Sisi and smiled. “Sisi is versatile, but my An’an is also outstanding. I’m very happy to see the two of you getting along so happily. In the future, you sisters-in-law must help each other.”
Sisi said to Qiao An, “Sister An’an, Mom often praises you in front of me. She said that not only are you smart and beautiful, but you also know how to manage your love and family. You’re also thrifty. It’s the Huo family’s blessing for you to enter the Huo family. I’ll definitely learn more from you in the future.”
Qiao An looked at Zhou Zhou’s mother with moist eyes.
“Am I as good as Auntie says? I’ve always been a negative example in the eyes of the elders. It’s because Auntie dotes on me that she thinks I’m good at everything.”
Huo Zhou’s mother held Qiao An’s hand and said emotionally, “An’an, my sister passed away early. If she sees you, she will definitely like you very much. You’re so good to Xiaoran, and you’re chivalrous. If my sister is alive, she will definitely dote on you. However, An’an, don’t be sad. Although you don’t have a mother-in-law to dote on you, I’ll dote on you and protect you in place of my sister in the future.”
Qiao An hugged Huo Zhou’s mother and choked. “Thank you, Mom.”
Sisi also walked over and hugged them tightly.
On the second floor, from the study window, Huo Zhou saw the women downstairs hugging one another and spat out a mouthful of tea.
Huo Xiaoran was surprised and walked over with a teacup. Seeing his aunt and Qiao An hugging, a relieved smile appeared in his eyes. “My An’an is amazing. She captured the hearts of my aunt and future sister-in-law so quickly.”
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran incredulously.
“In your eyes, she’s good at everything.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “She was aloof in the past and couldn’t be bothered to say a word to anyone other than me. I’ve always been worried that she doesn’t have any friends. Occasionally, when I’m not by her side, she’ll feel lonely. Now that she can become good friends with Sisi so quickly, I’m much relieved.”
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran silently. He felt that he was like a dying father arranging his daughter’s future.
Downstairs, Huo Zhou’s mother saw Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou and shouted, “Xiaoran, Zhou Zhou, come down too.”
Huo Xiaoran said excitedly, “Okay.”
Huo Zhou looked unwilling, but Huo Xiaoran pulled him down.
Huo Xiaoran pulled Huo Zhou to Sisi. When the two men saw the completely different Sisi, they immediately revealed surprised expressions.
“This is Sisi?” Huo Xiaoran was surprised.
Huo Zhou swallowed. “Are all you women so fickle? Then will your face change too?”
Sisi smiled brightly and said, “Zhou Zhou, I’m also very beautiful without makeup. If you want to see, I’ll remove my makeup immediately.”
Huo Zhou said coldly, “Not interested.”
Qiao An grabbed Huo Xiaoran’s hand and said excitedly, “Do you like how Sisi looks with makeup? I can put on makeup for you.”
Huo Xiaoran looked resistant and stopped Qiao An sternly. “You’re beautiful without makeup. Moreover, cosmetics are not good for your skin.”
Qiao An giggled.
The chef quickly prepared lunch. Because the children had already gone to kindergarten, only Qiao An, Huo Xiaoran, Huo Zhou, his mother, and Sisi ate. Moreover, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran were reclusive.
The atmosphere was a little cold.
Fortunately, Huo Zhou’s mother was lively. She adjusted the mood from time to time. “Xiaoran, An’an, your immortal love is desirable. You have to teach Zhou Zhou and Sisi more about love. Let Zhou Zhou, this blockhead, be enlightened.”
Huo Zhou undermined her words. “How can there be so much immortal love? How much did Xiaoran and Qiao An suffer in order to be together? If it’s really immortal love, they should be carefree. They won’t have to worry about the next meal after eating. The days of traveling the mountains and rivers are the days of immortals.”
Huo Zhou’s mother was so angry…
She picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Huo Zhou.
“You’d better drink. It’s a waste of natural resources to have a tongue like that on you.”
Huo Zhou raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
The wine was very spicy. Huo Zhou sighed.
Just as he recovered from a glass of wine, Sisi picked up the glass again and proposed a toast to Huo Zhou. She told Zhou Zhou sincerely, “Zhou Zhou, I know you don’t like me because you have someone else in your heart. Actually, I also know that fighting for a man with a dead person will result in me losing no matter what. She left this world at her best age, and it was also when you had the strongest feelings for her. The love in your heart had become a lifetime regret.”
“And I can’t bear to see you alone for the rest of your life. I’m willing to be your next best thing because I really love you.”
Huo Zhou felt goosebumps all over his body.
“We’ve never met. Do you love me that much? What do you love about me?”
Sisi blurted out, “I love you for being rich, but also for what you have done for the poor.”
Huo Zhou’s expression changed slightly.
He had secretly done a charity event and donated many years of education to poor children, but not many people knew about this event.
Sisi clearly knew about his project.
“Who exactly are you?” Huo Zhou was puzzled.
