Chapter 148: They Call Me Father
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Hanxue tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she bit her finger pitifully. “My mother… doesn’t want us anymore. Boohoo, we don’t have a father, and now, we don’t have a mother anymore…”
Xu Ting and Xu Yuanguang looked at Xu Hanxue, whose acting was so realistic, and smiled helplessly. However, they didn’t expose her and only looked at her dotingly. If their mother knew that their sister was slandering her like this, she would definitely punish their sister with not being able to eat desserts.
When Qiao Yanhui heard this, his heart ached and quickly comforted them. “Your father didn’t abandon you guys. Isn’t your father here now?” After saying this, Qiao Yanhui himself was surprised as well. What was he doing? How could he randomly acknowledge the children of strangers?
Qiao Yanqi couldn’t take it anymore. “Brother Hui, what are you doing?! How can a few bastards be your children?!” Her voice was filled with undisguised malice. She wanted to kill these children now! Of course, she wanted to kill that bitch as well. Since that bitch dared to appear in the capital, they shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless!
The moment he heard the word bastards, Xu Yuanguang’s expression instantly turned cold. Even Xu Tingdeng, who had always been gentle, became fierce. Xu Hanxue, who had been pretending to cry in Qiao Yanhui’s arms, started to cry for real. “We’re not bastards. We have a father and a mother. Boohoo…” Her shoulders trembled as she cried until she was about to faint.
Qiao Yanhui’s expression changed. He looked at Qiao Yanqi murderously and said coldly, “Get lost!”
Qiao Yanqi suddenly stiffened and looked at Qiao Yanhui in disbelief. Brother Hui had never treated her like this before, but today, Brother Hui shouted at her so viciously! She covered her face and ran away in tears. Her voice was filled with grief and she cried as she shouted, “How dare you treat me like this! If I had known earlier, I would have just let myself die. I would have let Second Brother live and Mother live… Boohoo…”
But this time, Qiao Yanhui, who would usually react whenever she finished saying these words, was indifferent. This made Qiao Yanqi feel afraid. Qiao Yanhui was acting colder and colder towards her. He didn’t come out to chase after her either. It was all because of that b*tch! Qiao Yanqi’s gaze became vicious as she clenched her fists tightly.
Xu Qing had just left the Golden Jade Hall when she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten something. She had actually left her precious children in the private room! How could she be so careless? If anything happened to the children, she would never forgive herself!
Xu Qing ran back to the Golden Jade Hotel without thinking. She couldn’t care less now. So what if she met Qiao Yanhui? She didn’t care what heartless words Qiao Yanhui would say. She only wanted to take the children away now.
When the door of the private room was pushed open by Xu Qing, she was stunned on the spot.
That arrogant and aloof man was actually kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face as he was being ridden by the three children!
The three children also smiled, revealing their white teeth. Even the usually aloof Xu Yuandeng was smiling.
Xu Qing’s eyes became filled with tears and she froze at the door.
When Qiao Yanhui looked up, he saw a face full of tears. At that moment, he actually wanted to rush over, hug her, and tell her not to cry.
However, he still had his sense of rationality, so he calmly stood up from the ground. His gentle expression returned to its former coldness.
His change in expression made Xu Qing return to her senses. Her tone was calm, but her voice was trembling as she said, “These three children are mine. Please return the children to me.”
When Xu Hanxue and the other two saw their mother’s cold expression, they stopped laughing. Their heads drooped. Children were more sensitive to emotions than adults, so they realized that their mother didn’t seem to like him…
Qiao Yanhui seemed very unhappy that the woman spoke to him in such a tone. He suddenly said, “They called me father.” In reality, only Xu Hanxue called him mother. The other two boys were more reserved and didn’t call him their father. But his meaning was obvious. If even one of the children called him father, then these three children were his!
Xu Qing’s heart kept racing and her body trembled slightly. She was enraged! Not understanding what he meant, she looked at Qiao Yanhui warily. Now, he wanted to snatch her children away! She would never allow such a thing to happen! She tried her best to calm down and her voice turned cold. “You know that you’re not their biological father.”
After saying this, Xu Qing suddenly felt angry with herself. Why was she still talking to him?! She should have slapped him hard or poisoned him to death!
