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

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Thank You for Reminding Me

Lin Qi shuddered on her shoulders.

For some reason, she could feel that the man before her was somewhat different from before.

She asked, “What are you doing?”

Huo Tingdong tightly gripped her jaw, forcing her to look at him, “Do you like to resort to violence that much?”

His presence carried an emperor-like aura, inherent and innate, spreading a chilling low pressure around him, thinning and solidifying the air.

Looking at his face, she found it hard to breathe, her sharpness subdued by his aura, her clear eyes flickering: “I…”

It was her who hit, she was daring enough to admit her actions, she wouldn’t deny it.

But it was Song Shuyan who started it, trying to take Han away by force and calling Momo a “little bastard,” she was merely retaliating!

Besides, was it really crippling, this single slap of hers?

Did he need to protect her like this?

“Remember, from now on, don’t touch a single hair on her, otherwise, I won’t let you off!”

Lin Qi clenched her fists and defiantly asked, “On what grounds?”

Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “What?”

Lin Qi said, “I hit her, what can you do about it?”

She felt both wronged and angry, her small hands tightly clutching the bedsheet, refusing to admit defeat.

“It was clearly her fault!” Lin Qi said, “I did nothing wrong!”

“Say ‘okay’.” Huo Tingdong interrupted her, “I’m not discussing this with you, I’m warning you, from now on, don’t touch a single hair on her, say ‘okay’.”

Lin Qi’s face turned red with fury, the bedsheet in her hands crumpled into wrinkles, she complained angrily, “Why are you commanding me in that tone? It was clearly her…”

“Say ‘okay’.” Huo Tingdong narrowed his eyes dangerously, his long fingers clenching her jaw, exerting a faint force, causing her to sharply inhale from the pain.

In their silent standoff, the cold glint in the man’s eyes grew more perilous.

Huo Tingdong’s voice was colder, his gaze dark and stern, “How many times do you want me to repeat? Lin Qi, I have no patience with you.”

Lin Qi gritted her teeth, her lips suddenly trembling, tears started sliding down the corners of her eyes, yet she made no sound of crying, just kept holding her breath, breathing…

Her stubborn expression slightly startled him.

“Why are you bullying me?” Lin Qi clenched her fists, pounding hard on his shoulder, “Why are you bullying me? Am I easy to bully? So everyone including you and Song Shuyan can bully me?”

Her voice grew more choked and shaky as she spoke.

Huo Tingdong felt even more that she was being unreasonable, “I’m bullying you?”

Lin Qi said, “Aren’t you bullying me? You’re threatening me…” The more she tried to hold back, the tears kept rolling down her cheeks incessantly.

Perhaps it was too much of a grievance, uncontrollable.

“Is she so precious? Is she a porcelain doll that shatters on touch?” Just a slap, did she become handicapped because of it?

Momo was also slapped by her, yet he insisted he was fine.

Is this Song Shuyan that delicate?

What about her?

In the Lin Family, she lived a life lower than others, enduring brutal beatings, which were never less and only more severe, humiliation, abuse, no one ever defended her.

Except for Momo and Han.

That’s why she risked her life to protect these two little ones, the only two children who genuinely cared for her in her life.

Was she wrong?

Lin Qi said, “You feel sorry for her, you feel the injustice for her, then go ahead and hit me!”

She trembled and closed her eyes.

Huo Tingdong gritted his teeth, “You’re completely unreasonable!”

Lin Qi opened her eyes again, her eyes filled with more grievance and sorrow, “Huo Tingdong! I hate you…”

She clenched her fists, beating them on his shoulders.

Huo Tingdong grabbed her hands, pinning them down on the bed, but neglected the fact that her hand had just been dislocated, and it was still painful.

He suddenly caused her pain, and Lin Qi soon began to sob softly.

Huo Tingdong was completely stunned.

He hates it when women cry in front of him, shedding tears, but for some reason, seeing her reddened eyes and the undried tear streaks on her face, his heart softened.

“Why are you crying?”

Is she trying to appear pitiful and wronged to earn his sympathy?

Huo Tingdong couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

But Lin Qi suddenly grabbed his wrist and fiercely bit down on his finger.

With such strength that she actually broke the skin on his finger, causing blood to seep out densely.

Huo Tingdong slightly furrowed his brows, but remained expressionless and did not pull back his hand, as if he felt neither pain nor itch, simply lowering his head to look at her, seeing her continue to bite his finger firmly, as if venting something.

“Do you feel wronged?”

His deep voice was very calm, so calm it almost didn’t stir a ripple.

She gradually loosened her grip, feeling incredibly stifled in her heart, with tears still continuously dropping.

Huo Tingdong watched her, but couldn’t speak harshly anymore.

Perhaps her tears had moved him.

So much so that by the time he realized it, he had leaned down and gently kissed away her teardrops.

By the time he snapped back to reality, Lin Qi was staring at him in astonishment as well.

What was he doing?

Huo Tingdong looked at her face, and for a moment, he felt like he was about to lose control, especially when his gaze rested on her slightly reddened eye corners, her nose tip tinted pink from crying, cheeks flushed as if rouged, and her slightly dazed, intoxicating eyes…

Her body temperature was slightly warmer than his.

Suddenly, he returned from his cold, self-centered world to the cold reality of human interaction.

This kiss became uncontrollable.

Driven by the most primal instincts, he greedily longed for more.

Huo Tingdong wrapped his arm around her neck, leaned down and began a trail of conquest, one kiss at a time, from her tear-stained eye corners to the tip of her nose, her chin…

Lin Qi finally realized what was happening and began to resist.

“Let me go…”

She struggled relentlessly, “Let go… Huo Tingdong…”

Under the indignation, Lin Qi raised her hand and fiercely slapped his face.

However, Huo Tingdong quickly caught her hand and looked down coldly, his eyes mocking.

His face had been struck by her only once before.

That time was due to his carelessness.

But one time should not lead to another.

Although…

He too felt that he had lost some control and was muddled, but there was no need for her to remind him in this way.

Huo Tingdong said, “I’m going to marry Song Shuyan.”

Lin Qi stared at him in astonishment.

“So, it was me who let her take Han away and to foster a relationship with Han,” Huo Tingdong said, “This should not happen again.”

Lin Qi said, “You marrying her is your affair, there’s no need to specifically tell me.”

Huo Tingdong said, “I don’t want Han to depend on you too much. You are not his biological mother; you don’t have the right to interfere too much.”

Lin Qi opened her mouth but was left speechless.

That’s right…

She wasn’t Han’s biological mother, indeed she had no right to intervene in many matters.

Lin Qi said, “All this time, I have treated Han as my own, forgetting he is not my biological son. I should thank you for reminding me.”
