Chapter 162 Tender Care
Huo Yunqi dressed his wound with a dark face and said coldly, “Don’t touch the cold water!”
Xia Luobing’s face darkened with depression. The scratch was on her finger. Why was this man so angry? Could it be that he was distressed by the custom-made plate?
“I know. Thank you.” Xia Luobing said indifferently. She was a criminal policeman and had not been injured before. Of course, she knew how to treat the wound. However, because her daughter was by her side, she did not want to argue with Yunqi Huo over such trivialities.
Duo Duo did not understand what Xia Luobing was thinking, but she rolled her eyes and stretched out her small hand to shake Huo Yunqi’s arm. “Uncle Huo, Mommy is injured, don’t you want to take care of her?”
What if Uncle Huo likes Mommy
The little girl’s wishful thinking made Xia Luobing anxious and uneasy. She coldly lectured her daughter, “You go and play. Children shouldn’t talk nonsense.”
Huo Yunqi sneered, “The reason why a child talks nonsense is because you don’t set a good example. If you’re not injured, why would she say those words?”
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand why Yunqi was so angry.
After dinner, Xia Luobing hugged Duo Duo and played for a while before coaxing her to sleep. Duo Duo lay under the blanket with only her head exposed. She said softly, “Mommy, I like Uncle Huo.”
Xia Luobing was stunned, and her hand on her daughter’s blanket paused. Today, Duo Duo had expressed her good impression of Huo Yunqi many times, but the more she was like this, the more uneasy her heart became.
“Duoduo, obediently close your eyes and sleep.” Xia Luobing whispered, “We still need to participate in kindergarten activities tomorrow.”
Duo Duo’s spirits were very good. She didn’t have the slightest intention of sleeping. She reached out and grabbed Xia Luobing’s hand. She shook it a few times and said coquettishly, “Mommy, why does Duo Duo have no daddy? You said he went on a business trip. When will he be back? Isn’t it good for Uncle Huo to be Duo Duo’s daddy?”
Uncle Huo was tall and handsome, and he treated her well. She really liked him.
Xia Luobing lowered her head and kissed the little girl on the forehead. “Be good and sleep well. Daddy will be back soon.”
After settling her daughter down with great difficulty, Charlotte left Duoduo’s room and went to the kitchen, taking out the ingredients to wash and cut.
“Dinner’s not full?” Huo Yunqi stood on the stairs and said coldly when he saw Xia Luobing in the kitchen.
Four years later, Xia Luobing seemed to have changed a lot. Just from the way he cooked and patiently looked at it, it was as if he was a different person, and her personality seemed to have restrained a lot.
Xia Luobing’s hand that was holding the knife paused. She turned around and saw Huo Yunqi explaining, “Tomorrow’s kindergarten activity, every child has to bring food to share with everyone.”
Huo Yunqi’s eyes lit up and he slowly went downstairs into the kitchen. He glanced at Xia Luobing and stood in front of the sink and said coldly, “I’ll wash it. Prepare the rest.”
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and saw that she was wrapping her band-aid fingers. Her mind moved as if something was about to rush out of her chest. However, she quickly adjusted her breathing and suppressed her impulse. She nodded and started to work on other things.
The space in the kitchen was not small but it was definitely not big. Xia Luobing felt as if she could feel Yunqi’s breathing. It was gentle and quiet.
“What’s the kindergarten activity tomorrow?” Huo Yunqi said.
Xia Luobing put the dishes in her hand on the plate and whispered, “The kindergarten holds a gathering once a month. Let the parents bring the dishes over.”
However, because of her work, she was not allowed to participate. Most of the time, Gao Yi’an brought Duo Duo along with her.
Huo Yunqi put the ingredients on the chopping board and looked at Charlotte. He turned around and left without saying a word. When he reached the stairs, he threw a sentence, “I’ll go with you.”
“Why?” Xia Luobing blurted out and found that he was looking at Yunqi anxiously. He quickly turned her head away and said awkwardly, “I mean … you should be very busy … so …”
She really regretted bringing Duo Duo here.
” Xia Luobing, you still like to be so self-righteous.”
Dropping these words, Huo Yunqi went to the bedroom without turning her head. Xia Luobing was awkwardly stunned and smiled bitterly for a long time. Yes, she still liked to be self-righteous.
After packing up the things in the kitchen, Xia Luobing sat in the living room for a long time before going upstairs to go back to Duo Duo’s room. But just as she was about to push the door open, the door was pulled open. Yunqi came out and saw Xia Luobing. “She’s asleep. You don’t need to go in.”
Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi stood face to face. She was tall, but in front of Huo Yunqi, she was only at his chin. Thus, she could feel the heat he exhaled when he spoke. Her face was numb and crisp, and her cheeks suddenly scorched.
The air between the two of them seemed to have stopped moving. After a long while, Xia Luobing seemed to have regained her thoughts. He took a deep breath and looked up at Yunqi Ho. “It’s getting late. You should rest early.”
Huo Yunqi stood at the door of the room and reached out to pinch Charlotte’s chin. “Don’t tell me you don’t have the consciousness to be a lover?” He said with a finger.
Lover?!
The two words “boom” exploded in her mind. Charlotte reacted for a long time before pulling the corner of her mouth. She said in a hoarse voice, “You … oh …”
Before Charlotte could finish her words, her scorching and domineering lips covered her tightly, blocking all the words from the tip of her tongue.
Huo Yunqi bit Xia Luobing’s lips as if he was venting. He wanted to punish her, punish her for what she had done, but when the four lips touched, he felt that something in his mind had instantly awakened. The overlap between her taste and her memories was still so beautiful
“You, you let me go!” Xia Luobing pushed Huo Yunqi away with great effort, and with great difficulty, she spoke up and said anxiously, “You can’t do this!”
Duo Duo is still sleeping in her room. What if she wakes up? And she’s not even ready to be his lover.
“So in order not to wake Duo Duo, you should cooperate with me.” Huo Yuqing grabbed Xia Luobing’s two hands that were pressed against her chest and raised her head. The other hand grabbed her waist. He bullied her and held her in his arms. The dense kisses seemed to be hotter and hotter than before
Xia Luobing was powerless to resist, so he closed her eyes. There was a sentence that Huo Yunqi was right. A lover should be conscious. Shouldn’t he have anticipated today’s situation when he agreed to it? Is there anything else you can’t accept?
But at this moment, Xia Luobing felt the strength to clasp her wrist suddenly loosen. She instinctively opened her eyes and met Huo Yunqi’s furious gaze. Her heart tightened, “I…”
Without waiting for Xia Luobing to finish her words, Huo Yunqi decisively turned around and left her bedroom. The sound of the door slamming echoed in the corridor for a long time. Xia Luobing leaned against the wall for a long time without moving. She smiled bitterly and lowered her head. Her eyes were wet.
How did she and he get to where they are today
Xia Luobing took a deep breath and entered her daughter’s room. She sat by the bed and looked at Anran’s sleeping baby. Only then did her panicked heart calm down. She gently stroked the little girl’s cheek and muttered, “Duo Duo, don’t blame Mommy …”
She had always known that her daughter wanted a daddy, but she was unwilling to let her daughter go to Yunqi’s side … A daughter born at the end of her life, she had spent so much effort to raise her daughter, and her daughter had become an inseparable part of her life. She couldn’t let go, really couldn’t let go
“Baby, I’m sorry …”
The night was quiet. Only a gentle sigh echoed in the room. Charlotte held her daughter for a long time before she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, the room was quiet. Only the early morning sunlight covered the entire room without fear.
“Duoduo?” Xia Luobing stood up and looked. When he opened the door, he heard Duo Duo and Huo Yunqi’s laughter coming from the living room. His eyes flashed and he returned to his room to wash up. He looked at himself in the mirror and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. This was his first day!
After washing and changing her clothes, Xia Luobing took a deep breath and pulled open the door to go downstairs. Seeing Duo Duo sitting on Yunqi’s lap playing with a model train, she smiled happily.
“Mommy, look at the gift Uncle Huo bought for me.” Duo Duo excitedly raised the item in her hand and gave it to Xia Luobing, “These are all oh!”
Xia Luobing saw a pile of toys, dolls, model airplanes, remotely piloted cars on the living room floor … There were a lot of them, probably enough for more than a dozen children to play with.
“So much?” Xia Luobing looked at Yunqi doubtfully.
“Bring it to kindergarten,” Yunqi said coldly.
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Yunqi meant. Yesterday, she said that she would take the food to kindergarten to share with everyone, so he prepared so many toys today
Xia Luobing knitted her brows. There were only ten children in each of the small classes. Huo Yunqi seemed to be too rich.
Duo Duo hugged Huo Yunqi’s neck excitedly and kissed, “Uncle Huo is so great!”
The corner of Xia Luobing’s mouth twitched. Was her daughter raised in vain … just a pile of toys, so easily bought?
Huo Yunqi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t seem to be used to Duo Duo’s intimacy and praise. However, despite Xia Luobing’s embarrassment, his mood was inexplicably better. He patted Duo Duo’s head and said, “Go play. Mommy and I have something to say.”
Duo Duo looked at Huo Yunqi and then looked at Xia Luobing. Finally, she carried the toy in her hand and obediently went to the carpet beside her. She excitedly watched the small train running around. The originally deserted villa actually had a lot of life aura.
“You also want to go to kindergarten?” Xia Luobing asked, looking at Huo Yunqi with uncertainty.
Huo Yunqi raised his eyebrows, “Of course.”
Xia Luobing xin instantly grabbed hold of her and said awkwardly, “Actually, they are all children that are boring … Aren’t you going to the company?”
Xia Luobing clenched her fingers. It seemed that the matter had already exceeded her control. Huo Yunqi bought Duo Duo with lightning speed. If he continued to rush into her and her daughter’s lives like this, she didn’t know how long her secret could be hidden
“I have my own judgment.” Yunqi looked at Xia Luobing and paused for a moment before turning to Duo Duo. His eyes darkened. “You don’t buy her toys often.”
Xia Luobing’s eyes flashed with guilt. Because Duoduo was in poor health in the late stage of preterm labor, she had spent a lot of money to cure her illness, so she might lack other material things.
“Daughter must be well-off, otherwise she will be easily tricked away.” Huo Yunqi looked at Xia Luobing and pointed at him. Then, the topic suddenly changed. “Prepare the dishes you want to bring and set off at nine o’clock.”
