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

Chapter 67: Chapter 67 He Takes Care of Mommy for a Lifetime

Lin Qi listened and knew that Song Shuyan was mocking her.

Yet, she was not angry.

She patted Momo’s little head and said with a smile, “Yes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes; that’s why our Momo is so outstanding!” She wasn’t boasting about being an extraordinary phoenix herself, but since Momo was Huo Tingdong’s son, and Huo Tingdong was so exceptional, how could his son be any lesser?

Song Shuyan’s face stiffened even more.

She gritted her teeth, turned to look at Momo, and felt even more irritated, seeing him as a thorn in her side.

Old Madam Huo favored boys over girls; even though Han was “stupid,” like an idiot child, the Old Lady still loved him dearly, doting on him with all her heart.

If she knew she had such an excellent and adorable great-grandson like Lin Jinmo, wouldn’t she elevate Momo to the skies?

Song Shuyan said, “Our Han is also very good. I’ve watched him grow up since he was little; he’s very well-behaved and sensible. Tingdong says that Han can’t speak now just because he didn’t have a mother when he was young and lacks a sense of security. After Tingdong and I get married, I will strive to be a good mother and give Han the warmth of maternal love. With that, Han will become even more outstanding.” As she praised Han, she couldn’t wait to assert her position.

Lin Qi’s gaze paused, turning to look at Huo Tingdong.

Huo Tingdong lowered his gaze and meticulously wiped the tableware with a towel, his face showing no emotion.

He and Song Shuyan were going to get married?

Why hadn’t she ever heard him mention this?

Song Shuyan said, “Didn’t Tingdong tell you about this?”

Lin Qi shook her head, “No.”

Song Shuyan nodded, “That’s to be expected. Your relationship with Tingdong isn’t anything special; such matters need not be mentioned to you.” She suddenly raised her head, her voice gently saying, “Miss Lin, you’re a very kind person. Raising Momo alone must not have been easy. Haven’t you considered remarrying?”

Huo Tingdong heard this and looked towards Lin Qi with a complex expression.

Lin Qi said, “I haven’t considered it for now.”

Song Shuyan asked, “Why not? With your qualifications, finding a decent man shouldn’t be difficult, right? I think, while considering the child is important, a woman should also think about her own happiness. You’re almost thirty; it becomes harder for women to marry as they get older, not to mention, you’re a divorcee with a child?”

Lin Qi said, “I’m very happy with Momo.”

Song Shuyan said, “You feel that way now, but what about later? The child will grow up. After growing up, you can’t just spend your life with your son! In the future, you’ll still need to find a man to spend the rest of your life with.” She thought for a moment, then asked, “Do you need introductions? We know many single men of suitable age; some are in their thirties and haven’t married yet!”

Lin Qi said, “Miss Song is too concerned; I’ve already been married once. A marriage without a foundation of love is just loose sand, not at all stable.”

Song Shuyan said, “Affection can be cultivated! Over time, you can develop feelings. Miss Lin, at your age, you surely don’t believe in fairy tale-like love at first sight, do you?”

Momo couldn’t listen any longer.

He always felt that Song Shuyan was targeting Mommy everywhere.

He elegantly rested his chin on his hand and seriously retorted, “Auntie, why aren’t you married yet?”

Song Shuyan was momentarily stunned, her hand underneath the table gradually clenching.

Momo said, “Auntie is older than my Mommy, right? You’re not planning to be Han’s stepmom, are you?”

Song Shuyan said, “You…”

Momo looked at Han and asked, “Han, do you like this auntie?”

Han shook his head, his face clearly writing the words “I don’t like her.”

Momo asked again, “Then, do you want this auntie to be your stepmom?”

Han shook his head again.

Momo said, “What a pity, Han doesn’t like auntie; auntie can’t be Han’s stepmom then.”

Song Shuyan clenched her teeth, “You’re worried about me; better worry about what to do if your mommy can’t find anyone.” Her words were half-joking, half-serious, yet hurtful.

Momo just smiled, a hint of indulgence in his eyes, “There are so many people who want to be my stepdad; Mommy doesn’t fancy any of them. Besides, if Mommy really has nobody, I’ll take care of her for life.”

Han raised his hand, “I do.”

Lin Qi felt a warmth in her heart.

Miss Song’s face twisted even more.

She suddenly glanced at the juice in the center of the table, then at the snow-white dress on Lin Qi.

She lifted her hand, intending to pretend to accidentally knock over the juice. However, a small hand reached out faster than hers toward the juice.

“Splash!”

“Oh no!”

Miss Song stood up in a panic.

It was Momo’s small hand that “accidentally” knocked the juice over onto her.

“My Chanel dress…!” In a fluster, Miss Song picked up a wet napkin from the table and desperately wiped the juice stains off her with a livid complexion.

Everyone around turned to look.

Embarrassment was plain on Miss Song’s face as she glared furiously at Momo.

With an innocent look, Momo’s eyes widened, as he hid in Lin Qi’s embrace, “I didn’t mean to…” he muttered aggrievedly, his watery eyes full of guilt.

Miss Song fumed secretly.

Not intentional?

She saw right through the little guy’s deliberate act!

Momo could clearly see Miss Song’s sneaky attempt; she wanted to spill the juice on Mommy’s dress so that Mommy couldn’t attend the evening ball.

How could he let such a malicious woman succeed?

Huo Tingdong stood up, righted the overturned bottle of juice, and looked at the stained dress on Miss Song.

Miss Song complained pitifully, “Tingdong, I bought this dress especially to accompany Han to the garden party… What should I do now that it’s dirty?”

Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll have someone send you back.”

Go back?! What about the evening ball?

Miss Song was somewhat reluctant, but she hadn’t brought a change of clothes, “I rarely get a chance to spend the day with Han, I don’t want to miss out… I want Han to like me a little more.” She looked at Momo and gritted her teeth, “He didn’t do it on purpose, did he?”

“It’s dirty already,” Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll compensate you with a new outfit.”

Miss Song said, “But I want to attend the evening ball…”

Huo Tingdong didn’t understand why she was so obsessed with the ball, but since she wanted to participate, naturally, he wouldn’t force her to go home.

“I’ll have someone buy you a new set, change, and then come back, okay?”

The gentle tone eased the irritation in Miss Song’s heart.

She said, “Okay.”

Miss Song hurried away.

Once she was gone, Han’s face relaxed a bit.

It was clear that he didn’t like Miss Song, and her presence always made him feel restrained.

Lin Qi asked Momo in a low voice, “Did you do it on purpose?”

Momo nodded.

Lin Qi gently pinched his cheek, “I knew it.”

Momo whispered in her ear, “Silly mommy, can’t you see how much she dislikes you?”

Lin Qi said, “I know.” Miss Song loved Huo Tingdong so much, and she was Huo Tingdong’s ex-wife.

Naturally, Miss Song loathed seeing her, enemies meeting with particularly envious eyes.
