Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Han wants to leave with her
Huo Tingdong furrowed his eyebrows.
Inside the room, Lin Qi had packed her things and she and Momo had changed clothes, then they went downstairs.
Lin Qi saw Huo Tingdong had returned and turned her face away, treating him like air.
Han was suddenly nowhere to be seen.
Lin Qi asked, “Where is Han?” Before she left, she wanted to properly say “goodbye” to Han.
Old Madam Huo said with bewilderment, “Just now Han was still in the living room…”
...
Before she could finish, a “heave-ho” sound suddenly came from the second-floor staircase.
Lin Qi followed the sound and saw Han wearing a beautiful little suit and a cute sailor’s hat, carrying a heavy suitcase downstairs step by step.
The suitcase was almost as tall as he was. It was large, heavy, and cumbersome, so Han struggled with it, needing to stop and stick his little backside out after each step to check his footing. His lotus-like white little legs felt out the marble step before placing the other foot down.
His clothes seemed self-put-on, one sock longer than the other, the hat on his head askew, but his clothes were neat, and his bangs were combed orderly, suggesting he dressed up with care.
Lin Qi was amused by his comical appearance, but for a moment she didn’t know what he was up to.
Where did this suitcase come from?
Old Madam Huo was utterly taken aback, “Han, what are you doing?”
She immediately walked over, while the servants rushed to support her, “Old Madam, be careful!”
Huo Tingdong asked, “Han, what are you doing?”
Han put down the suitcase, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood beside the suitcase that was packed full. It was a 38-inch suitcase he had taken from Huo Tingdong’s room, which Huo used for business trips and was big enough to stuff two Hans inside.
Huo Tingdong approached and opened up the suitcase; it was filled with Han’s clothes and some of his favorite toys, and even his preferred snacks.
Han walked over, closed the suitcase lid, zipped it up, and pushed it next to Lin Qi. Then, without looking back, he ran upstairs again.
While everyone was confused, they heard a series of cheerful footsteps, “pitter-patter,” and Han came downstairs again, happily wearing a Pikachu backpack.
He looked at Lin Qi, suddenly walked towards her, grabbed the corner of her clothes with his small hand, and showed puppy-dog eyes.
Momo understood the eagerness in his eyes and said defensively, “You don’t really want to go with us, do you?” @@novelbin@@
Han nodded seriously.
Lin Qi: “…”
Momo: “…”
Old Madam Huo became anxious, “My little ancestor, where are you going? Don’t you want your great-grandma anymore?”
Han glanced at Old Madam Huo, then abruptly turned his body away, staring at Lin Qi intently.
It seemed he had really made up his mind to run away with Lin Qi.
Quite heartlessly at that.
His resolute expression said it all.
Old Madam Huo’s heart felt shattered, unable to believe that Han really didn’t want her anymore.
Huo Tingdong said, “Han, stop this nonsense.”
He carried such a big suitcase; was he preparing to run away from home?
Huo Tingdong cast a suspicious look at Lin Qi, “What did you say to him?”
Lin Qi was perplexed, “I didn’t say anything.”
Huo Tingdong said, “You still claim you didn’t abduct my son. Without any reason, why would he want to leave with you?”
Han glanced at Huo Tingdong, then Lin Qi, and shuffled towards Lin Qi’s side, completely ignoring Huo Tingdong.
The situation became somewhat stalemate.
As Lin Qi walked towards the door, Han followed her like a tail, seemingly afraid of being left behind by Lin Qi, wanting to go home with her.
Momo was a bit annoyed now, “You can’t go home with us.”
Han looked up at Momo with a puzzled “why” expression on his face.
Momo felt that this guy was clearly getting clingy with Mommy.
Lin Qi squatted down, gently held Han’s shoulders, and cooed, “Han, you can’t go with Auntie, be a good boy, okay?”
Han pouted with a look of sadness, his gaze flickering as if asking her, “Why don’t you want me?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Han, are you not listening to Daddy anymore?”
Reluctantly, Han twisted his body, clearly not taking a single word from Huo Tingdong’s somewhat stern remark to heart.
“Han?” Huo Tingdong’s voice grew colder.
Han turned his back to him, his ears moved, but he remained indifferent.
Huo Tingdong called out his full name, “Huo Tinghan!”
Startled, Han trembled and quickly hid behind Lin Qi. It was obvious he didn’t want to spend even a day away from Lin Qi.
Huo Tinghan…
That’s Han’s full name?!
It’s hard to imagine that such an adorable Han would have such a domineering name.
Momo said, “Mommy, let’s go!”
He took Lin Qi’s hand and attempted to leave.
Now Han panicked, hurried over, spread his arms, and blocked their way.
Momo asked with disapproval, “What are you doing?”
Han came over, grabbed his hand, and held on tight.
Momo’s face turned red, feeling somewhat shy. He tried to pull away his small hand, but Han hugged him tightly again, the pleasing expression on his face as if saying: We’re good friends, so don’t leave me behind.
Momo: “…” He wasn’t a heartless child, and seeing Han being so attentive, he found himself unable to push him away.
Seeing he had perhaps won over Momo’s heart, Han tugged at his hand, fished around in his pocket for a long time, finally taking something out, and spread his palm open to reveal two beautifully wrapped candies.
Momo stared at Han, then saw the undisguised hope in his eyes.
His heart softened, and he turned to Lin Qi, “Mommy, let’s take Han with us!”
“No way!” Old Madam Huo felt it was unreasonable, “Where do you plan to take my precious great-grandson?”
Momo said, “He insists on going with us!”
“Tingdong!” Old Madam Huo looked anxiously at Huo Tingdong, “If all else fails, just keep her here!” She couldn’t bear to be parted from Han.
Huo Tingdong frowned but saw Momo awkwardly say, “I don’t want to stay here.”
Old Madam Huo felt he was being unreasonable, “Where has the Huo Family ever mistreated you? For so long, the Huo Family has hosted you and your mother, provided for you well, and taken good care of you. What are you unsatisfied with?”
Momo said, “This isn’t my home.”
Huo Tingdong said to Lin Qi, “Let’s have a proper talk.”
Lin Qi retorted, “What do we have to talk about?”
But Huo Tingdong had already started walking towards the upstairs.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qi also followed him upstairs.
In the study.
As soon as Lin Qi entered the room, Huo Tingdong turned around to face her and said, “I don’t care what you’ve promised Han, but now that he can’t be without you, you will stay in the Huo Family and you’re not allowed to go anywhere.”
Lin Qi replied, “Are you trying to illegally detain me again?”
“Detain?” Huo Tingdong said, “I’m asking you to take care of Han. You can state your terms as an exchange.”
Lin Qi said, “You want me to be Han’s nanny?”
What do you think?
