Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

This mindset of Andariel is more normal.

Huo Qinyou, that kind of mother, is truly a madwoman.

When Andariel brought up Little Lan Yue, Huo Wen’an showed no obvious signs of disgust. Towards the child who had swapped lives with him, Huo Wen’an had no particular thoughts.

He even felt pity for them.

Born only to be used as a tool for revenge by their biological mother, then mistakenly killed by the Sect Leader of Rashomon.

Their life was even more tragic than his own.

Andariel had many things, many past events she wanted to share with Huo Wen’an, but time was limited, and soon it was time for a meal.

During the meal, An Lidar asked about many of Huo Wen’an’s dietary preferences and remembered them by heart. She also mentioned that she wanted to personally cook a meal another day and invite Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang to taste it.

Faced with the cautious Andariel who was trying to be friendly, Huo Wen’an couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

”Okay.” Huo Wen’an agreed to Andariel’s proposal.

Andariel was so overjoyed that she burst into tears, leaving the table before finishing her meal.

It wasn’t until after the meal that Andariel composed herself and returned to the living room.

In the living room, Huo Wen’an and Huo Canghai had already started negotiations.

Huo Wen’an got straight to the point: ”Although the matter of me being swapped at birth isn’t your fault, I was implicated and swapped by Huo Wei. I’ve suffered too much in my life, Dad, you should compensate me.”

Huo Canghai didn’t expect Huo Wen’an to voice this so directly.

Huo Canghai felt both embarrassed and ashamed.

But Andariel was very happy.

She wasn’t afraid of Huo Wen’an asking for compensation, she was afraid he wouldn’t ask for any.

”Wen An.” Andariel spoke before Huo Canghai: ”How do you want us to compensate you? Just say it, and whatever we can achieve, mom will try her best to do it.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Wen’an looked directly at Huo Canghai, seemingly waiting for him to make a statement.

Huo Canghai realized that Huo Wen’an was deliberately setting a trap for him to fall into.

But he already felt guilty towards Huo Wen’an and truly loved this child, willing to give him everything he had, so he said, ”You just say it.”

Huo Wen’an extended his right hand to Zheng Lie.

Zheng Lie placed a document in Huo Wen’an’s hand.

Huo Wen’an handed the document to Andariel and Huo Canghai, shamelessly saying, ”I want so many things, I can’t say them all at once, so I made a wish list.”

Huo Canghai raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat helpless.

Xu Xingguang also didn’t expect Huo Wen’an to be so ’bold’ to have made a wish list.

Even Andariel was slightly taken aback, then let out a chuckle.

Andariel took the document and opened it, seeing that the first page listed all sorts of jewelry and antiques.

Andariel couldn’t understand why a boy like Huo Wen’an would want these things.

Could it be that he’s short of money?

”Wen An, you’re the only child I have, you’re the sole heir to all my assets. These things will belong to you sooner or later, do you want them now because you urgently need money?”

”It’s not a lack of money.” Huo Wen’an suddenly said, ”Xingguang likes beautiful jewelry, this is the betrothal gift I prepared for her.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang, who was merely watching the drama, suddenly became a part of it.

Both Andariel and Huo Canghai cast contemplative glances at Xu Xingguang.

Andariel was entirely satisfied with Xu Xingguang.

In terms of talent, she was recognized as a piano prodigy by the circle of piano masters including Master Kale. In terms of medical skills, she was the mentor of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor Ye Mingluo, and healed Huo Wen’an and the young master of the Xiahou Family, Medicine Farmer Star.

In terms of appearance, talent, and temperament, she was not inferior to any noble lady.

Even when standing with princesses, Xu Xingguang was equally outstanding.

Not to mention, when everyone expected Wen An to die and despised him for being a short-lived ghost, she alone chose Huo Wen’an.

Huo Canghai’s attitude towards Xu Xingguang was complex.

From the perspective of an elder, Huo Canghai was undoubtedly satisfied with Xu Xingguang. But from the point of view of a father-in-law, he didn’t want Huo Wen’an to marry Xu Xingguang.

He preferred that Huo Wen’an marry a gentle and virtuous young woman who looked up to him.

And Xu Xingguang?

She was not the type of girl who would look up to Huo Wen’an.

But Huo Canghai also understood that he owed too much to Huo Wen’an, and he had no right to meddle in his marriage.

Thinking about this, Huo Canghai could only keep his mouth shut, looking at Xu Xingguang with dissatisfaction.
