Seeing this scene, Yang Qiaoqiao was about to comfort her two children.

But before she could speak, An'an sternly reprimanded her younger brother, "Don't cry! What's a man crying for?"

Upon hearing her sister's words, Lele's eyes welled up with tears, which had already rolled halfway down, but she quickly held them back.

She quickly raised her little hand and wiped the half that had rolled out clean, saying in a muffled voice, "Sister, Lele, don't cry."

An'an then reached out and took her younger brother's hand, saying softly, "Alright, little brother, I know you're smart."

"Lele, you're so smart!"

An An's perfunctory remark directly hooked Lele's lips.

The little guy still had tears on his face, but he still managed to crack a smile.

Looking up at Yang Qiaoqiao for approval, she said, "Mom, Lele is smart!"

Seeing her grandson like this, Lin Xiaohui felt both amused and heartbroken. She quickly picked Lele up and said, "Yes, our Lele is the smartest."

Lele shook her head seriously and corrected her grandmother, saying, "Sister is the smartest."

Yang Qiaoqiao also picked up her daughter, kissed her, and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Upon receiving her mother's praise, An'an pursed her lips shyly, a far cry from the domineering older sister she had been when scolding her younger brother.

The little girl was already incredibly cute, with a soft and cuddly face, and her shy expression was just too adorable to resist.

Huo Beixiao's eyes lit up when he saw the interaction between the mother and her two children.

Even when he saw the mother and her two children smiling, he felt as if the dark clouds that had been hanging over him for the past six months had finally dissipated.

He was somewhat reluctant to part with the fleeting pleasure and happiness of the moment, but the next instant, a wave of regret washed over him.

If it weren't for his cover-up of Jiang Yiran, he would be with her and her two children right now. He wouldn't be a bystander in such happiness, but a participant.

Now, he is not only an observer, but there is also Qiao Haifan standing next to him who is particularly annoying.

He reached out to grab Yang Qiaoqiao's suitcase, but before his hand could even move, Qiao Haifan had already taken it first.

Even Lin Xiaohui stood in his way.

Lin Xiaohui used to think highly of Huo Beixiao, but now she finds him incredibly annoying.

Thinking back to when she had just returned from Hong Kong, her daughter would secretly wipe away tears every night while looking at the two children, and she felt an urge to grab a big broom and give Huo Beixiao, the culprit, a good beating.

Yang Qiaoqiao only glanced at Huo Beixiao, said nothing more, and left with her daughter in her arms.

A hint of sadness flashed across Huo Beixiao's eyes, but he quickly rallied.

Follow Yang Qiaoqiao and the others towards the direction of the checked luggage.

After boarding the plane, Yang Qiaoqiao realized that there was only an aisle between her seat and Huo Beixiao's seat.

There are no such coincidences in the world.

The reason Huo Beixiao was able to buy this seat was most likely because he used his connections and pulled strings.

Every time she caught a glimpse of Huo Beixiao out of the corner of her eye, she felt a mix of emotions, even a sense of unease.

Several times, she really wanted to ask Huo Beixiao directly what he was trying to do.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

If it's just a coincidence that Huo Beixiao is in this position, then her questioning him would only make her seem presumptuous.

After Huo Beixiao sat down on the plane, he focused all his energy on Yang Qiaoqiao and the two children.

He looked at them with a hint of greed, listening to their voices.

I don't want to miss any micro-expressions on Yang Qiaoqiao's and the children's faces, and I don't want to miss any syllables they utter.

Although this wasn't An An Le Le's first time flying.

But the last time the two of them took a plane, they were too young to remember. Lele had no memory of it at all. Although An'an did remember, she was held in someone's arms the whole time and could only see the top of the cabin, which was not a pleasant memory.

But this time was different. As the plane ascended into the stratosphere and flew smoothly, the two little ones pressed their faces against the window, looking at the same clouds outside. They couldn't help but open their mouths wide and exclaim in amazement.

The two little ones then discussed what each cloud looked like, and looked down at the mountains and rivers below.

When looking at the ground, if they see a winding river or a high mountain range, they will ask Yang Qiaoqiao what kind of river or mountain it is.

Yang Qiaoqiao was only grateful that she had traveled to many places in her previous life and knew a little about the rivers and mountains of her motherland, which allowed her to answer the two little ones' questions.

Otherwise, if I get stumped by the two little ones, I'll lose face.

Although An'an and Lele were excited, children's energy is limited, and by the second half of the day, both little ones had fallen asleep.

The two little ones sat obediently in their seats, fastened their seatbelts and leaning back, fast asleep. It was so heartwarming to see them.

The two little ones were chattering away, and Yang Qiaoqiao hadn't really noticed Huo Beixiao's gaze.

At this point, there were no more two children to distract them.

Huo Beixiao's gaze, which had been fixed on her, became particularly noticeable.

That gaze even made her feel a little annoyed.

Now that the child was asleep, she no longer needed to hold back and turned to meet Huo Beixiao's gaze. "Mr. Huo, do you know that staring at someone is very impolite?"

As soon as she spoke, Huo Beixiao immediately lowered his head obediently and said in a wronged tone, "Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry, I... I couldn't control myself."

Next, I...I will try my best to control myself.

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

Looking at Huo Beixiao's aggrieved expression, she instantly felt as if she had punched cotton, feeling not only powerless but also helpless.

She was too lazy to say anything more to Huo Beixiao, so she turned her face to the side and closed her eyes to rest.

Indeed, she no longer felt Huo Beixiao's gaze.

She had only wanted to avoid Huo Beixiao's gaze, but when she closed her eyes to rest, she accidentally fell asleep with the two children.

Huo Beixiao waved to the flight attendant, took three blankets, and carefully covered the mother and her two children.

Qiao Haifan, who was sitting in the row behind Yang Qiaoqiao, was about to get up to cover the mother and her two children with a blanket when Huo Beixiao beat him to it.

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

But Huo Beixiao deliberately gave him a provocative look.

Qiao Haifan: ...

After a heart attack, he returned Huo Beixiao's disdainful look.

His eyes were clearly saying, so what if he covered Qiaoqiao with the blanket first? He had done so many things to hurt Qiaoqiao and the child, and neither of them would forgive him.

Huo Beixiao understood Qiao Haifan's gaze, and a trace of loneliness flashed deep in his eyes.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he's clean, he's qualified to pursue Qiao Qiao again.

He couldn't possibly let Qiao Haifan steal his wife and children away.
