At this moment, Yang Qiaoqiao unconsciously recalled the first time Huo Beixiao took her to the provincial capital to eat steak. It was also by chance that she ran into Jiang Yiran and Qin Haiyang that time.

Speaking of which, she and Jiang Yiran really did have a somewhat ill-fated relationship.

Yang Qiaoqiao didn't notice Huo Beixiao's eager gaze, but Jiang Yiran did.

Jiang Yiran glanced at Yang Qiaoqiao out of the corner of her eye with a sinister look.

Even though Huo Beixiao had clearly forgotten about Yang Qiaoqiao, his gaze would always be on her whenever she appeared.

Yang Qiaoqiao...

Why does she always block her way?!

Yang Qiaoqiao and Qiao Haifan ate their meal while discussing their understanding of clothing design and fashion.

The two had a very pleasant conversation, and Yang Qiaoqiao's face would occasionally show a relaxed and happy smile.

That bright smile stung Huo Beixiao's eyes, and he felt as if a flame was leaping out of his chest.

Finally, he couldn't resist blocking Yang Qiaoqiao and Qiao Haifan outside the restaurant as they were leaving.

"Yang Qiaoqiao, do you know what you're doing?" Huo Beixiao's eyes were filled with suppressed anger as he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Having affairs is illegal!"

Yang Qiaoqiao snorted and looked at Jiang Yiran next to Huo Beixiao. With a cold face, she said in a deep voice, "Yes, it is indeed illegal. So should I report it to the police now?"

Huo Beixiao was so choked by Yang Qiaoqiao's words that he couldn't breathe properly.

Looking at his face, which looked like he'd eaten shit, Yang Qiaoqiao didn't want to say anything more to him. She just curled her lips slightly and said, "You should take care of yourself first!"

Seeing Yang Qiaoqiao turn to leave, Huo Beixiao said urgently, "Yang Qiaoqiao, I'll come find you later!"

Yang Qiaoqiao stopped in her tracks.

Before she could speak, she heard Huo Beixiao's voice come from behind her again, "I'll sign the divorce agreement. After signing, we'll go back together tomorrow to finalize the divorce."

Currently, both divorce certificates and marriage certificates can only be processed in the place of household registration.

Both of them are still registered in Yun County, so they have to go back to Yun County to get their divorce certificate.

"Okay." Yang Qiaoqiao replied without any hesitation or lingering attachment.

Huo Beixiao watched her resolute back as she walked away, and a sharp pain shot through his chest.

Guo Tao and Tong Xuejiao said that they had been through so much together, supporting each other and never abandoning one another.

Why is Yang Qiaoqiao still so heartless after they've been through so much, showing no lingering affection for him at all?

"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?"

After getting on the bus, Qiao Haifan looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with concern and asked.

Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "It's nothing. It was already decided. He agreed to sign the divorce agreement, which saves us the trouble of going to court. It's a good thing."

If it weren't for An An and Le Le waiting for me at home, I would have invited you out for another drink to celebrate.

Looking at the smile on Yang Qiaoqiao's face, Qiao Haifan felt a pang of heartache. "Qiaoqiao, actually you..."

He wanted to tell her that if she was sad, she could cry and let her emotions out.

But before he could finish speaking, Yang Qiaoqiao received a call from Zhou Yang and began to seriously arrange work matters with him.

Qiao Haifan watched as Yang Qiaoqiao, like a female general on a battlefield, commanded the factory affairs with composure, as if Huo Beixiao's incident had no effect on her at all.

His appreciation for Yang Qiaoqiao grew even stronger.

Qiao Haifan escorted Yang Qiaoqiao back to Wutong Lane.

"Afan, thank you for today. I enjoyed dinner." Yang Qiaoqiao said to Qiao Haifan with a smile after getting out of the car.

Looking at her polite smile that revealed a hint of aloofness, Qiao Haifan couldn't help but ask, "Won't you invite me in? I haven't seen An'an and Lele for several days, and I miss them quite a bit."

"No, it's getting late today. You should go home and rest. You can come see An'an and Lele another day when you have time." Yang Qiaoqiao refused without even thinking.

Just then, the door of the old house opened, and Lin Xiaohui and Aunt Zhang each carried one out of the house.

"Mommy, Mommy..." Lele, in Aunt Zhang's arms, smiled happily as soon as she saw Yang Qiaoqiao, revealing her two newly grown baby teeth. She waved her little hands and kicked her little feet in Aunt Zhang's arms.

If Aunt Zhang hadn't already prepared and held the little guy tighter, she might not have been able to hold him at all.

An'an, nestled in Lin Xiaohui's arms, blinked her big, watery eyes at Yang Qiaoqiao and gave her a sweet smile.

The money-grubbing Xiao An used to be very aloof. She would only smile when she saw gold gifts; otherwise, she always had a stern face and didn't like to talk to anyone.

But after Yang Qiaoqiao returned from Hong Kong this time, she found that the little guy seemed a little different from before.

At least An'an is no longer aloof towards her mother.

Every time my little girl sees her, although she's not as enthusiastic as the mischievous Lele, she still gives her a big smile.

Yang Qiaoqiao pinched Lele's little face, just about to take the little guy and hug him.

To everyone's surprise, the little guy pushed her hand away and looked at Qiao Haifan with his little hands outstretched.

Qiao Haifan's eyes immediately lit up with a smile, and he quickly reached out to take her hand. "Lele, did you miss your uncle?"

He had barely finished speaking, and before he could even hold the soft little guy in his arms, a large hand snatched him away first.

Lele suddenly found himself in a strange yet familiar embrace. He instinctively looked up and blinked his big eyes at Huo Beixiao, who was holding him.
