The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 123 - He is Your Son

Chapter 123 -123 He is Your Son

Aunt Lu’s complexion changed, originally, she had a good impression of Lin Qi, but upon hearing she was divorced, her opinion lessened somewhat.

Han struggled to break free from Huo Tingdong’s embrace and threw himself beside Lin Qi, gently wrapping his arms around her.

He lifted his small face, with an aggrieved expression, as if hesitating to speak. Just now, outside the door, he heard that Lu Li was going to marry Lin Qi, and he was afraid that this man would snatch her away, holding tightly and refusing to let go.

Aunt Lu expressed her astonishment, “And this child is…?”

Huo Tingdong said, “He is my son.”

Aunt Lu looked at Han, then at Lin Qi, momentarily stunned and speechless. Seeing that Han and Momo were about the same age, she looked at Lin Qi with some suspicion, “Is he also your son?”

Lu Li said, “No. Qiqi only had one child, Momo.”

Just as Aunt Lu found the complicated identities of the two children confusing, Momo suddenly asked Lin Qi, “Mommy, do you like Uncle Lu?”

He knew that Lu Li was not his biological father.

But what he wanted to know more was Mommy’s heart and who would treat her well for a lifetime, cherishing Mommy forever.

In other words, whoever Mommy chooses, he would recognize that person.

Lin Qi couldn’t give a definite answer.

She said to Lu Li, “Lu Li, I…”

Lu Li suddenly interrupted her, “Don’t reject me.”

Lin Qi was surprised at his display of assertiveness.

Lu Li moved beside her and gently took her hand, enveloping it in his palm, “Didn’t I promise you, I will give you a home?”

Huo Tingdong stepped forward, blocking his way and said coldly, “Why won’t you let her finish speaking? Or do you already know she will reject you, and you still want to force her?”

Seeing Huo Tingdong showing assertiveness excited Han, who clenched his fists tightly, his eyes shining with radiance.

Good job, Daddy, quickly snatch Aunt Qiqi over!

Lu Li raised an eyebrow, “Force? Who is forcing whom, Mr. Huo? You’re not thinking of ‘forcing’ Qiqi to be a stepmother to your son, are you?”

Huo Tingdong’s face tightened, and his eyes were particularly intimidating. He took a step closer to Lu Li and said coldly, “Do you think I’m like you, using such filthy methods?”

Lu Li found it laughable, “Filthy methods? I wonder what Mr. Huo means by ‘filthy methods’?”

Huo Tingdong said coldly, “Momo is not your biological child, he has no blood relation to you.”

Lin Qi was suddenly taken aback.

Lu Li also showed a surprised expression.

Aunt Lu was even more astonished, “What?” She stood up agitatedly, “Lu Li, what is going on? Didn’t you tell mom that Momo was your own flesh and blood?”

Lin Qi looked at Huo Tingdong with suspicion.

The man looked back mockingly, “I’ve been investigating Momo’s background and have traced it to you long ago. Indeed, you are Momo’s father in name, but I’ve already done a paternity test; there is no blood relation between you and him. Your noble claim of responsibility for Momo was merely to gain the person you desire.”

Lin Qi found it even harder to understand and stood up laboriously, asking, “Huo Tingdong, when did you do the paternity test?”

What exactly had this man been investigating about her in secret?

Huo Tingdong said, “I did the test more than a month ago. Lin Qi, until when will you continue to hide it from me? I ask you, who is Momo’s biological father?”

Lin Qi remained silent.

She looked at Momo, her gaze flickering, surrounded by an invisible fear.

She dared not mention Momo’s background for fear Huo Tingdong, upon knowing Momo was his own flesh and blood, would take him away from her.

She feared losing custody of Momo.

What kind of person was Huo Tingdong? From the way he cherished Han, it was clear he valued his own lineage and offspring. If he knew she had given birth to Momo behind his back and hidden him for so long, could she still keep Momo?

Suddenly, Momo said, “I know who my biological father is.”

Lin Qi tensed up, “Momo…”

Momo said with a smile, “Mommy, I know what you’re worried about, but don’t worry, you will always be my mommy, and I am your son, no one can take me away.”

He turned around, looking at Huo Tingdong, and elegantly curled up the corners of his lips, “Don’t you want to know who my biological father is?”

Huo Tingdong said, “You know?”

Momo crossed his arms over his chest, “Of course, I know who my father is. But whether I want to acknowledge him is another matter altogether.”

Huo Tingdong released Lu Li’s hand and walked up to him.

He looked at Momo’s fair and adorable face, resembling Lin Qi’s features by seventy to eighty percent. The suspicion that had been brewing in his heart all along was about to surface, “So, who exactly is your father?”

Lin Qi suddenly said from behind, “He is your son.”

Huo Tingdong’s back stiffened.

He turned around, looking at Lin Qi, only to see her face clearing up as if a heavy burden had been lifted, slowly and firmly, she said, “He is your son, you are his daddy…”

The fists that Huo Tingdong had been clenching slowly began to unclench.

His suspicions were finally confirmed.

Momo was indeed his offspring.

He had doubted it more than once, yet overturned his own speculations just as often.

He had the opportunity to conduct a paternity test, yet he feared a disappointing outcome.

Huo Tingdong said, “So, you’ve hidden this from me for seven years?”

Lin Qi did not directly address Huo Tingdong’s questioning. She turned to Lu Li and said in a gentle tone, “Lu Li, I have something to discuss with him, would you and Aunt Lu mind stepping out for a moment?”

Lu Li said, “So… Momo really is Huo Tingdong’s son?”

Lin Qi’s face revealed a sense of relief, no longer denying, “Yes.” Momo said, he would always be her son and nobody could take him away; she too had decided to face the situation bravely.

Even if standing opposite her was Huo Tingdong, even if, this man might fight her for custody.

She also knew that sooner or later Huo Tingdong would discover the truth.

The slightest suspicion from him and a paternity test would immediately reveal Momo’s identity; she couldn’t escape, and avoiding the matter would only further infuriate the man.

Rather than causing an irreparable situation later on, better to be upfront with the truth now. Issues that must be faced sooner or later are better dealt with sooner.

She wouldn’t hide anymore.

Lu Li stood up and walked to Aunt Lu, saying, “Mom, we should head back first.”

After finishing his words, he left the hospital room.

Aunt Lu glanced at Momo, then at Lin Qi, and hurriedly followed, “Lu Li, you haven’t given me an explanation yet…”

After the two had left, the hospital room fell into a prolonged silence.

Han looked towards Momo, understanding yet not quite understanding, feeling somewhat bitter inside. He only understood that Momo was Daddy and Aunt Qiqi’s biological child, their own son.

What about him?

Where would his mommy be?

Han’s spirits flagged, and his head drooped with a sense of inexplicable sadness. Besides the bitterness, it was mostly envy.

Envy that Momo had a daddy, and also a mommy.

Huo Tingdong said, “Now, you can give me an explanation.”

Lin Qi clenched her fists, somewhat resentfully, “I have no obligation to explain anything to you, I can only tell you that Momo is your flesh and blood, nothing more!”

Huo Tingdong said, “How did this child come about?” He pressed closer to her, asking, “The Old Madam had arranged for you to have surgery, and you told me you weren’t pregnant, so, were you lying to me? Actually, you were pregnant at the time, but you chose to hide it from me.”

Lin Qi’s throat felt dry, “Yes…”

Huo Tingdong asked: “What about the other child then?”

Lin Qi was stunned.

Huo Tingdong continued, “Didn’t you say you were carrying twins? Is the other child really dead, or have you hidden them away?”
