Lin Xiaohui felt quite pleased to see her beloved granddaughter like this.

"You see, it's not that I don't want you to hold An'an, it's that An'an herself doesn't want you to hold her."

As Lin Xiaohui spoke, she couldn't help but pat An'an and praised, "Our An'an is so thoughtful, he knows how to care for his mother. Some people have wronged his mother and made her heartbroken, so we won't let them hug us, hmph!"

Hearing Lin Xiaohui's words and seeing his little girl's appearance, Huo Beixiao felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

"Smack!"

Just then, a crisp slapping sound rang out.

When everyone reacted and looked at Huo Beixiao, they saw Lele's little hand slapping Huo Beixiao's face.

Lele, who had just been crying while hugging Huo Beixiao, gave a haughty snort, turned her little face to the side, and then pounced on Qiao Haifan with her little hands.

Qiao Haifan suppressed a laugh and reached out to take Lele from him.

Lin Xiaohui and Aunt Zhang exchanged a glance, almost bursting into tears from trying to suppress their laughter.

Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. After suppressing her laughter, she looked at Huo Beixiao and said, "You're here to sign the agreement, right? Come in."

Huo Beixiao concealed the hurt in his eyes and silently followed Yang Qiaoqiao into the room.

Yang Qiaoqiao handed the divorce agreement back to Huo Beixiao. "Sign it. After you sign it, we'll go back to Sichuan Province to get the marriage certificate tomorrow."

She was arranging work on the way back, just to make time to go back with Huo Beixiao and settle the divorce.

This matter needs to be addressed sooner or later; dragging it out isn't a solution.

Although Yang Qiaoqiao had already prepared herself mentally, when she said those words herself, set a time, and when there was truly no room for maneuver in the matter, her heart still ached terribly.

Huo Beixiao held the pen in his hand, and several times the pen tip fell to the ground before he picked it up again.

Even though he had already realized that he was reluctant to part with it, he didn't expect that he would be this reluctant.

Every time the pen tip was about to fall, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, the pain was excruciating.

"Sign it! Jiang Yiran should still be waiting for you, right?" Yang Qiaoqiao said calmly, looking at Huo Beixiao's pen that wouldn't move.

Huo Beixiao subconsciously looked at her, wanting to explain, "Me and her..."

But after uttering those three words, he was abruptly cut off from the rest of his thoughts.

If it were before last night, he could have comfortably told Yang Qiaoqiao that nothing had happened between him and Jiang Yiran.

Nothing will happen in the future.

He was just trying to make up for his guilt towards Jiang Yiran. Once he had settled her in, he and she would go their separate ways and never have any further involvement.

But last night...

Huo Beixiao's heart sank even further.

This time, he picked up a pen and signed the agreement.

After signing the document, he put down his pen and said in a deep voice, "We'll have to postpone getting the marriage certificate. I'm busy with work at the company right now, so I don't have time."

Yang Qiaoqiao put away her copy of the divorce agreement and, without saying much, simply agreed, "Okay, Mr. Huo, please let me know whenever you have time, and I will cooperate immediately."

Yang Qiaoqiao knew that Huo Beixiao's company had recently run into trouble.

Because of her divorce from Huo Beixiao, the high-end real estate project that Grandpa Xia originally planned to invest in was halted. Guo Tao was originally Huo Beixiao's capable assistant.

There are quite a few troublemakers in the construction company and transportation team. It was only because Guo Tao was there that they were able to keep those troublemakers under control.

Now Guo Tao works at her factory. Before, only Huo Beixiao could handle Guo Tao's work personally.

In this situation, Huo Beixiao really couldn't leave.

Huo Beixiao's deep gaze fell on Yang Qiaoqiao, looking at her intently.

Yang Qiaoqiao thought Huo Beixiao wanted to argue with her about her poaching Guo Tao, and she was already mentally prepared.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Huo Beixiao said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be An An Le Le's father, and I will take on the responsibilities of a father."

Since Huo Beixiao had said so, Yang Qiaoqiao also said directly, "I won't stop An An and Lele from acknowledging you. However, Jiang Yiran, I must send her to prison so that she will pay the price for what she has done."

Otherwise, I wouldn't deserve to be a mother who enjoys peace and happiness.

Huo Beixiao felt a sharp pang in his heart when he saw Yang Qiaoqiao's determined gaze.

For a moment, he even thought that as An An Le Le's father, he should also help Yang Qiao Qiao send the people who hurt them to prison.

But the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before the image of the emaciated Jiang Yiran from his dream being led to the execution ground flashed into his mind. His heart clenched painfully, and he was overwhelmed by guilt.

"I'm sorry." He looked at Yang Qiaoqiao and uttered these three words with some difficulty.

Yang Qiaoqiao chuckled lightly, "You should leave now!"

She found Huo Beixiao disgusting.

After Huo Beixiao left, she carefully put away the signed divorce agreement.

Turning around, he picked up An An and Le Le, who were playing on the mat, and said to Qiao Haifan, "Hafan, it's getting late, you should go home now. You're welcome to come visit us anytime you're free."

Yang Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaohui each carried one of them, and took An'an and Lele back to their room.

I took the two little ones a bath, applied baby powder, put on diapers, dressed them in clean clothes, and then sang lullabies to lull them to sleep.

In the past, Lin Xiaohui would usually help her put the two little ones to bed and then go back to tidy up and prepare to rest.

Today, while she sang lullabies to An'an and Lele to lull the two little ones to sleep, Lin Xiaohui stayed by her side the whole time.

After the two little ones fell asleep.

Yang Qiaoqiao forced a smile and looked at Lin Xiaohui, "Mom, you should go and rest too..."

Before Yang Qiaoqiao could finish speaking, Lin Xiaohui pulled her into her arms and said, "Daughter, you've been wronged. If you want to cry, just cry."

"You don't need to be so serious in front of Mom..."

Although Yang Qiaoqiao felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, she really didn't want to cry.

At this moment, he was being held in Lin Xiaohui's arms.

Feeling the warmth emanating from Lin Xiaohui, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Tears suddenly welled up like a burst dam, "Mom, I never expected..."

"Waaaaah... I thought Huo Beixiao was a good man, I thought he would be my support for life, but he... Waaaaah..."

At this moment, Yang Qiaoqiao truly felt her own vulnerability.

These days, as long as Huo Beixiao doesn't appear, she tries her best to control herself and not think about him.

Besides work, she spends all her time with her child, keeping herself busy and thinking that this way she can completely forget about Huo Beixiao.

But at this moment, the strength she had been pretending to have these past few days suddenly collapsed completely.
