Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 935 - 924: The Villain Mom’s Baby

Sure, here is the translated text:

The three of them finished dinner, and Huo Xian truly kept his promise. Not only did he play with Ye Qiu for two hours, but he also told her a bedtime story until she fell asleep, before gently exiting the room.

"Thank you for today. She’s just a child at heart. I’ll educate her properly in the future," Ye Ran said, feeling embarrassed and grateful.

"Why are you thanking me?" Huo Xian looked directly into her eyes. "I promised Xiaoqiu, not you. Do you really think it’s appropriate to educate her on this matter?"

"I..." Ye Ran was at a loss for words. She was just being polite and didn’t really mean to scold her daughter for this. She didn’t expect Huo Xian to take it so seriously. Today, he was indeed very different from usual.

"Ye Ran, I really like Xiaoqiu, so I don’t want her to get hurt." Huo Xian added.

Ye Ran stared at him blankly, her throat blocked with words she couldn’t utter.

"I don’t know what happened to you in the past or why you came to the United States alone with Xiaoqiu, but just from your behavior over the past two years, I’m certain you have a plan to return to the country, right? And perhaps the plan might have some negative outcomes?" Huo Xian pressed with questions.

Ye Ran stepped back, her eyes drifting away, not daring to meet his gaze.

"It seems I guessed right." Huo Xian suddenly sighed, his tone softening, "Ye Ran, why can’t you speak out? Why bear this alone? Isn’t there always more than one way with another person involved?"

"You don’t understand," Ye Ran became slightly agitated, "You wouldn’t understand."

"But if you never say anything, I’ll never understand, right?"

Ye Ran bit her lip hard enough to draw blood. It was clear she was very resistant and deeply resentful of what had happened in the past.

Huo Xian’s heart ached for her. He couldn’t imagine what could have caused her such pain, but if her emotional knot wasn’t resolved, the damage would only grow, and it could also endanger Xiaoqiu.

"Ye Ran, don’t torture yourself anymore. Even if not for yourself, think of Xiaoqiu. She’s not yet four years old. Can you bear to let her suffer like you? Can you bear to let her lose her mother and face the future alone?" Huo Xian intensified his persuasion, knowing that other than Xiaoqiu, nothing else could change her now.

Sure enough, at the mention of Ye Qiu, Ye Ran loosened her teeth from her lip, showing a look of bewilderment and hesitation,

Huo Xian pressed on, "Today at kindergarten, you saw how happy she was. How much she relies on you as her mom. Were you surprised by the photo album?"

Ye Ran lowered her head, a sign of guilt toward Ye Qiu.

"You’ve never voluntarily taken photos with her, have you? I noticed all the photos are taken secretly. Have you ever thought about the fact that, at such a young age, she’s already asking others for photos, collecting them carefully, and even remembering where each one was taken? Does she seem like a normal child to you?" Discussing this, even Huo Xian felt heartbroken. If she were his daughter, he would cherish her tenderly, letting her be carefree like a little princess.

Ye Ran seemed to be hurt, collapsing onto the sofa with her hands covering her face, and Huo Xian saw the tears seeping through her fingers.

But that wasn’t enough; he needed to wake her up once and for all: "Ye Ran, can you really bear for Xiaoqiu to go to Hell with you? Can you really bear for her to lose her only relative? Without a father, she’s already subject to gossip at kindergarten. If she loses her mom too, do you think she could still laugh so innocently? Ye Ran, you are her only one now."

"But I have no other way," Ye Ran suddenly lifted her head, her eyes red, "You don’t understand, you can’t understand. I must take revenge. Those people must pay. My parents can’t die in vain; those are two lives!"

Hearing this sudden news, Huo Xian inhaled sharply. He knew Ye Ran had been hurt before, but he hadn’t imagined it was so severe, involving two lives, and her intense reaction clearly showed the culprits hadn’t been punished as they should.

"I’m here!" he said, grasping her trembling hands firmly, "I’m here. Don’t carry this alone, Ye Ran, you’re not alone."

Ye Ran fell silent again, withdrawing her hands, evidently very resistant.

Huo Xian, unlike before, was very assertive today: "Ye Ran!"

His suppressed voice said, "Don’t shrink back any longer. You know what I mean. From now on, no matter what happens, we’ll face it together, okay?"

"No," Ye Ran reacted passionately, "You simply don’t understand what I’ve been through. If you knew, you wouldn’t accept me and would regret saying this."

"I will never regret it, never," Huo Xian said, looking at her steadily.

"Do you know that I was violated before? Ye Qiu is the child of a rapist?" Ye Ran glared at him intensely, like a cornered Fierce Beast.

Just when she thought Huo Xian would flinch, hesitate, or regret, he hugged her tightly, the sound of his heartbeat clear in her ear.

"I’m sorry," Huo Xian’s throat choked.

"You don’t need to apologize, you did nothing wrong." As she spoke, she began to struggle to free herself.

But Huo Xian only held her tighter, "I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me most. Ye Ran, let me help you, okay? Let me take care of you both."

"I am not a pure person," Ye Ran stated calmly, but a closer look into her eyes would reveal her inner turmoil.

"It’s not your fault," Huo Xian whispered in her ear, his voice small but firm, "I will see to it that those who hurt you are punished."

"But the police couldn’t convict them," she said, her eyes turning fierce again.

"Then we’ll use our own methods, Ye Ran. We’ll take it slow; revenge is a must, but you and Xiaoqiu must stay safe," he said, looking at her with utmost seriousness.

"Why?" Ye Ran asked, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Why are you so good to me?"

Looking into her eyes, Huo Xian was momentarily speechless as to why. Even before they met, he was already intrigued by her, which is why he strongly invited her to his team. When he finally met her in person, his curiosity only grew, and somewhere along the line, it turned into love. He wanted to bring her into his sphere of protection and treat her well forever, to drag her from her solitary world into his.
