The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Divorced Second-Marriage Old Man with a Child

The marriage partner, who it is, he does not care.

He once had a marriage with Lin Qi, and remarrying her was not out of the question.

Although high society emphasizes matching social status, this rule did not apply to Huo Tingdong.

Because in high society, there’s no one whose status matches his.

He didn’t need to rely on marriage, on a woman, to expand his business empire.

The question is, what does Lin Qi think?

Because of the affair with Song Shuyan, she must hate him, not even wanting to see him.

Let alone Momo.

That little fellow is a typical “mama’s boy,” especially protective of Lin Qi, and now, in Momo’s eyes, he was like a thorn in the flesh.

Furthermore…

How to bring this matter up?

A direct marriage proposal?

What if he just opened his mouth and encountered Lin Qi’s rejection…

Huo Tingdong suddenly froze.

He mockingly curled his lips.

He has always been such an arrogant man, yet now he actually fears that his proposal to a woman might be rejected.

Looking across Beijing, who would dare to reject his marriage proposal?

Only Lin Qi.

She, indeed, is an exception, she might.

Late at night.

After lulling Han to sleep, Huo Tingdong drove to the hospital.

Since the last fallout with Lin Qi, he rarely set foot here, and even if he did, he wouldn’t go inside.

Standing downstairs, the inpatient department had a curfew, and after half-past ten at night, the main gate was sealed.

Huo Tingdong stood at the entrance and pressed the night emergency buzzer.

The duty nurse hurried over, “Who are you looking for?”

Huo Tingdong said, “To visit a patient.”

The nurse rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled, “But, visiting hours are over…” Her voice trailed off quieter and quieter, even though separated by a glass door, she could still feel the overpowering aura emanating from Huo Tingdong.

So intimidating.

Although this man before her was stunningly handsome, there still existed in him an indescribable presence, born from a long tenure in a high position.

She felt inexplicably guilty.

Huo Tingdong said, “Open the door.”

Under the pressure of the man’s presence, the nurse reluctantly opened the door for him, “You’d better not stay long, or my supervisor will scold me.”

Huo Tingdong entered the elevator without looking back.

The elevator reached the floor.

He came out and walked towards the ward.

The ward door was shut.

He stood at the door, glanced through the small window, and saw Lin Qi lying in bed, with the caregiver sleeping in the reclining chair.

Huo Tingdong pushed the door and went in.

Lin Qi was a light sleeper; she woke up instantly, opening her eyes only to see a tall shadow looming by her bed, which made her as scared as if she’d seen a ghost, and she immediately awoke entirely.

Upon focusing her gaze, she exclaimed in disbelief, “Huo Tingdong?”

What was he doing here so late?

Perhaps because it had been so long, her anger towards him seemed to have dissipated, making her tone particularly calm.

Huo Tingdong sat down in the chair beside her.

Inside the ward, there was a moment of silence, apart from the caregiver’s snoring, which came in waves.

Lin Qi muttered, “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Huo Tingdong asked, “Do you still hate me?”

He blurted out seemingly out of context, confusing Lin Qi, “Why should I hate you?”

Huo Tingdong speculated, “Because of Song Shuyan, didn’t you say you didn’t want to see me?”

Lin Qi nodded, “I don’t want to see you, so why did you come?”

Huo Tingdong: “…”

Her attitude was particularly indifferent, so indifferent he felt like an irrelevant stranger.

Lin Qi said, “Wasn’t that matter settled? You gave me two billion to keep quiet, and I agreed to act as if it never happened.” She was quite aware, having taken the money, she kept her word.

The doctor said she was recovering well. Initially, Han changed her dressings every day, and she recovered unusually quickly and well.

Momo worried she might have aftereffects, but the doctor said the hematoma in her brain would gradually dissipate, and the fractured bones were also healing nicely, with wounds closing faster than expected.

Aftereffects would always exist, but they wouldn’t affect her life.

More importantly, the two billion Huo Tingdong gave her were enough for financial freedom. Raising Momo to adulthood, studying abroad, marrying, and having children, she would have no burden.

She took this money without guilt, after all, it was her life on the line for it.

Huo Tingdong suddenly fell silent.

Unable to help herself, Lin Qi asked, “So, why did you come?” Did he suddenly show up in her hospital room at the dead of night just to sit by her bed and brood?

This man was truly inexplicable.

Lin Qi lay back down, staring at the ceiling, fiddling with her fingers. He didn’t leave and she couldn’t continue to sleep. But she also couldn’t well ask him to leave since even getting out of bed was difficult.

An air of awkwardness inevitably hung between them.

Huo Tingdong looked at his hands, clenching and unclenching his fists, the words fermenting in his throat, but he found them hard to voice.

Seeing him as if wanting to say something, Lin Qi became a bit wary, “A gentleman’s promise is unbreakable. You’re not going back on your word, are you?”

Huo Tingdong: “…” What did she mean by that?

Lin Qi continued, “You’re not reversing the two-billion issue because I’ve recovered, are you?” Or was it that she had originally said one billion and he had transferred two billion to her, and now he wanted the extra billion back?

Were Huo Family’s funds in trouble?

Having liquidity issues?

Huo Tingdong: “…”

He couldn’t help but laugh, his thin lips curving slightly as he said plainly, “First, I thought you knew my capabilities, I don’t need those two billion; second, I thought you knew my character, once that money is in your account, I won’t take it back; third…”

He saw through Lin Qi’s concerns as he coldly stated, “Furthermore, if Huo Family ever had a day where financial turnover was an issue and needed those two billion to save the world, then the sky of the capital markets would be falling.”

To prosper or to decline together.

Should the Huo Family encounter any problem, it could involve countless firms and potentially trigger a global financial crisis, leaving no one safe in the eye of that storm.

Lin Qi found herself even more baffled, “Then what on earth do you want to say?”

Huo Tingdong said gravely, “Can you remarry me?”

Lin Qi didn’t hear clearly the first time, “What… what?”

The man looked up purposefully, deliberately enunciating each word, “Can you remarry me?”

Lin Qi was stunned.

She speechlessly asked, “Why me?”

Huo Tingdong replied, “Why can’t it be you?”

Lin Qi mimicked his tone, “First, there are so many eligible young ladies in high society, you’re so wealthy, no one would mind that you’re a divorced man with a child seeking a second marriage; second, why should I agree to marry you? Marriage is a grave, I’ve finally freed myself from that grave, I would be foolish to step back into it.”

Divorced… with a child… second marriage old man?

Marriage… a grave in her eyes…?
