Chapter 82: Chapter 82: If It’s Not Mine, Could It Be Yours?
Huo Tingdong said, “You…” Is she really missing a screw in her head?
Or is it that she doesn’t care at all, even if there is something between him and Song Shuyan.
Lin Qi said, “Has your brain gotten waterlogged?” She always felt his behavior was strange, somewhat abnormal.
Huo Tingdong looked at her, his eyes carrying a weird look, and suddenly spoke in an irritated tone, “Nothing!”
He frowned, tugged at his collar, and went into the room.
Lin Qi muttered, “His brain really has gotten waterlogged!”
She also went into the room.
The next day.
Lin Qi woke up, and the company’s Dingtalk group informed her to take a few days off.
It was said that Mrs. Fang was still in the emergency room, and her life was still in danger.
With Mrs. Fang’s fate uncertain, the company was in disarray, the executives were all in a panic, as they had all heard more or less about Mrs. Fang’s trouble with the Huo Family and were trembling with fear.
Lin Qi got out of bed, freshened up, left the room, and since it was a rest day, the two children didn’t have to go to school and were still sleeping in.
The nanny said, “Miss Lin, breakfast is ready.”
Lin Qi casually asked, “Where is Huo Tingdong?”
The nanny replied, “Mr. Huo went to the office early this morning. He said that Miss Song will come to pick up Han today.”
Lin Qi was startled, “Why is she coming to pick up Han?”
The nanny shook her head, “Mr. Huo didn’t say, so I didn’t ask.”
“Got it,” Lin Qi said. “I’ll call the two little guys to get up for breakfast.”
It was a rare rest day, and she happened to be on leave too; she wanted to spend some quality time with Momo and Han.
Lin Qi woke Han and Momo up, urging them to get dressed. Momo woke up, stretched, and saw Lin Qi calling Han to get up.
“Han, it’s time to get up!”
Han sat up lazily from the bed, yawned as if not fully awake, and rubbed his eyes.
Lin Qi helped him get dressed.
Seeing this, Momo frowned slightly, feeling a bit jealous, and said in a sour tone, “You’re so big already, can’t you dress yourself?”
Momo was a little grumpy upon waking, not fully rested, and seeing Lin Qi fussing over Han made him feel sour.
Upon hearing this, Han also felt uncomfortable.
He pouted and looked at Momo as if sulking, “Hmph!”
Hmph?
Momo got out of bed, walked up to Han, and stood with hands on hips, “Dress yourself, wash your face and brush your teeth by yourself!”
Han felt wronged and hugged Lin Qi. He was frightened by Momo’s sternness and wanted Lin Qi to pamper him.
“Momo!” Lin Qi scolded, “Don’t bully Han.”
Now it was Momo’s turn to feel wronged.
Mommy was being too protective of this guy.
Momo muttered, “Mommy, I always dress myself!”
The two Little Babys glared at each other, crossed their arms in unison, and turned back to back, ignoring each other, sulking.
Lin Qi knew that kids’ quarrels come and go quickly, so she raised an eyebrow and said with a gentle smile, “Mommy is off today, so I can stay home with you. You have to be good and not fight.”
Hearing that Lin Qi was off, Momo and Han’s eyes lit up, no longer caring about their anger.
Lin Qi went with the flow and said, “Shake hands, okay? No fighting between you two, alright?”
The two Little Babys were naturally willing to save face for Lin Qi, and they made peace with a handshake.
Since Lin Qi was pregnant, her movements were limited, so she coaxed Han, “Han, would you be good and dress yourself?”
Han nodded and started to dress himself.
The nanny stood at the door, a bit surprised, “Oh, Han can dress himself now, what a good boy!”
Lin Qi said, “Our Little Baby Han is very smart!”
When Han heard this, his ears twitched, his little face blushed, and he even seemed a bit shy, feeling sweet inside.
Aunt Qiqi praised his intelligence, he had to perform even better!
After the two little ones washed up, Lin Qi herded them out of the room, one after the other, like ducklings, and the three of them sat down in the living room, ready for breakfast.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Lin Qi was startled, “Who is it?”
The caregiver said, “I’ll go and open the door.”
She walked to the entrance, just opened the door, and saw Song Shuyan, dressed in a casual yet graceful manner, standing outside, smiling, “Hello.”
“Are you Miss Song?” The caregiver also smiled politely.
Song Shuyan said, “Mhm, I’m here to pick up Han.”
Hearing Song Shuyan’s voice, Lin Qi’s spine stiffened.
Momo and Han lifted their heads and sensitively glanced at Lin Qi’s expression; they could tell she seemed to have become a bit uncomfortable.
The conversation between the caregiver and Song Shuyan came from the entrance.
“Little Han hasn’t finished his breakfast yet! Miss Song, would you like to come in and wait?”
Song Shuyan nodded her head, “Okay.”
As soon as she entered, she saw Lin Qi and the two children sitting in the dining room, indeed having breakfast, and she paused, feeling for a split second as if the three of them were like a family.
Song Shuyan suddenly realized.
Aren’t they a family of three?
Huo Tingdong had gone to the company, and these past few days he had a lot of company affairs, hence Song Shuyan took the initiative and came over to pick up Han.
When Lin Qi saw her, she lowered her head, treating her as if she were thin air.
Song Shuyan also did not greet her, the two were like strangers.
She entered the house and looked around.
This house was the property Huo Tingdong bought in Lin Qi’s name.
He really is generous.
But when she thought about it, it was just a house after all. When she marries Huo Tingdong in the future, anything she wants, she shall have.
She will have Huo Tingdong buy her bigger houses, mansions and villas. Once she becomes Mrs. Huo, luxury cars and mansions will be hers for the asking, and Huo Tingdong would buy them for her.
She’s just sensible, and thus never mentions it; otherwise, Huo Tingdong would buy her even better!
Even so, Song Shuyan was still stunned by the size of the house.
So big.
Even just the living and dining room area was over a hundred square meters, with clear north and south passages.
Song Shuyan was somewhat curious, do Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi, the two of them, share a bedroom?
Seeing Song Shuyan looking around, the caregiver said with a smile, “Miss Song, you’re waiting anyway, why don’t I give you a tour?”
Song Shuyan smiled with pleasure, “Sure.”
The caregiver led her towards the guest room area.
The layout separated the private from the common spaces; the living and dining room were to the west, the master bedroom and guest rooms to the east, and aside from one room facing north, all other rooms faced south.
Lin Qi suddenly stood up, and coldly said to the caregiver, “This is my home, I am the lady of the house, why are you taking the liberty of showing her around my home?”
She was usually very satisfied with this caregiver, but she was dissatisfied with her taking it upon herself to show Song Shuyan around the house.
The caregiver said awkwardly, “I…”
Song Shuyan turned around, looked at Lin Qi, and said, “Isn’t this house bought by Tingdong?”
Lin Qi said, “Yes.”
Song Shuyan said, “You don’t really think that just because he bought the house in your name, it actually belongs to you, do you?”
Lin Qi retorted with an amused question, “If not mine, then is it yours, perhaps?”
What do you think?
