"Joey is my daughter and has nothing to do with the Xiao family," Qiao An announced firmly.
Mr. Xiao wanted to argue, but Joey suddenly threw a tantrum. She said angrily to Mr. Xiao, "I'm my mommy's daughter. I'm not a child of the Xiao family."
She hugged Qiao An tightly, afraid someone would carry her away.
Mr. Xiao saw how dependent Joey was on Qiao An and sighed helplessly.
Qiao An comforted Joey. "Don't be afraid, baby. No one can take you from Mommy. Mommy will protect you. Don't worry."
Only then did Joey calm down slightly.
Old Master Xiao knew that this was not the time to discuss Joey's ownership. He gave his son a look and stood up to bid farewell. "Qiao An, Xiaoran, we've disturbed you today."
With that, the two of them stepped away.
After leaving Xiaoran's house, Father Xiao asked his father in confusion, "Dad, are we going to watch Joey grow up in the Huo family?"
