The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 134 - Do You Still Hate Me?

Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Do You Still Hate Me?

Huo Tingdong suddenly laughed.

Lin Qi stared blankly and said, “Why are you laughing…”

“Nothing.” He just suddenly imagined how she, with her limited mobility, hobbled to the mall with strong determination for shopping, and found the scene somewhat cute and amusing.

“You should focus on healing first.” He stood up, lifted his hand, and gently touched her hair.

This action was a reflexive response.

Even he was taken aback for a few seconds upon realizing it.

Neither did Lin Qi move away, but her eyes were equally astonished.

She could feel the indulgence in his gesture…

Lin Qi felt a little stiff, perhaps a bit uncomfortable.

Huo Tingdong withdrew his hand and said, “You don’t like me touching you?”

“No… I don’t mind…” Lin Qi started to reply but felt something was off about her response, yet she didn’t know how to continue.

Huo Tingdong bent down to meet her gaze, “So you like it?”

Lin Qi’s face turned red in an instant, “No…”

It seemed she couldn’t handle any teasing; her skin was so thin that a slight embarrassment would show on her face immediately, flushing red as if inflamed.

Huo Tingdong closed his eyes briefly and then reopened them, “Do you still hate me?”

Lin Qi pursed her lips.

Hate him?

That didn’t quite fit.

It was just unfair.

After all, it was Song Shuyan who pushed her down, and because he protected Song Shuyan, that’s why she felt aggrieved.

Lin Qi honestly said, “I don’t actually hate you.”

“Why?” Huo Tingdong couldn’t help asking, “I thought you would hate me.”

Lin Qi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, licking her slightly dry lips, “Huo Tingdong, you like Song Shuyan, and it’s only natural for you to defend her. I promised you, you give me two hundred million, and I won’t pursue this matter further. I don’t hate you; I just feel wronged. However, I also know that I’m not someone significant to you, I don’t have the right to demand how you should act.”

Huo Tingdong felt as if an invisible hand had fiercely gripped his heart.

Her understanding was somewhat distressing.

He had said before, this was what he owed her, and she could have taken advantage of the situation, but she didn’t.

Most likely, because she had suffered a lot of grievances since childhood, she was used to bearing things, cautious and careful, growing up in an environment severely lacking in love, she never dared to ask others to treat her a certain way.

But not hating did not mean she didn’t feel wronged.

Thinking of this matter still made Lin Qi heartbroken and wanting to cry.

Her eyes reddened as she instinctively lifted her hand, wanting to rub her eyes, at least not wanting him to see her slightly uncomposed appearance.

Huo Tingdong, however, held her hand, “You do.”

“Eh?” Lin Qi looked at him blankly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, “What?”

Huo Tingdong patiently explained, “You have the right to ask me to do anything.”

Lin Qi said, “…” Suddenly she didn’t know what to say.

Was it guilt, self-blame?

So, he wanted to compensate her as much as possible?

Huo Tingdong suddenly said, “Song Shuyan is important to me, but I have no other feelings for her.”

“What…” Lin Qi showed a look of surprise, “You and her…”

Huo Tingdong said, “I once had a comrade-in-arms, who gave his life for me. On his deathbed, he entrusted his sister to me, asking me to protect her well. Song Shuyan is his sister…” He didn’t know why he was telling her this.

He was not the type to offer explanations.

After all, he was not good at expressing himself, nor did he like to expose his heart for others to hear.

Lin Qi said, “So… your relationship with Song Shuyan is just responsibility, without any romantic love?”

Huo Tingdong said, “At least, to me, she is just a responsibility. I have also warned her not to have any unrealistic ideas about me. A month ago, I sent her abroad, and maybe, she will not come back again.”

Lin Qi was also surprised.

It seemed he was earnestly trying to clarify his relationship with Song Shuyan to her.

Why did he feel the need to explain in particular?

Huo Tingdong as if reading her mind, said, “I don’t want you to misinterpret my relationship with her, so that’s why I’m explaining.”

Lin Qi said, “I understand…” Suddenly she felt a sense of relief in her heart, “If that’s the case, it’s understandable.”

Putting herself in his shoes…

Maybe if she were Huo Tingdong, she would do the same.

Huo Tingdong’s tone, unlike his usual imperiousness, turned soft, “You’ve been wronged by this, but I won’t let you be wronged for nothing.”

This was also the first time he was openly sharing his feelings with her.

Lin Qi bit her lip and said, “I don’t want any compensation from you; I just ask you to do one thing for me.”

Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrow lightly, “Hmm?”

Lin Qi said, “You said that child might still be alive, and I want you to help me find him, to keep searching until he is found, to see him if he’s alive or…”

Huo Tingdong said, “I promise you.”

He did not believe that the child was dead; he was convinced the child was still alive.

That was also his child, even if she didn’t make such a request, he would definitely find him.

Lin Qi, upon hearing this, curved her eyes with an infrequent hint of a smile.

It was rare for her to smile at him; when she did, her eyes curled charmingly like crescent moons.

Huo Tingdong was momentarily spellbound.

He had to admit, those smiling eyes mesmerized him, to the point that at this moment, he suddenly realized something.

He wanted to remarry her, not just for Han.

When it came to emotions, his reactions seemed to be a bit slow and delayed.

It was then that he realized that on the day he saw her lying in a pool of blood, with an expressionless face but an inward panic.

Apart from Han, nothing could make him lose his sanity and composure, only that day did he stand outside the emergency room, so distraught, looking as if his soul had been split apart.

Maybe, a long time ago, when she personally demonstrated to him the difference between “kissing and artificial respiration,” the ice in his ever-cold heart had unknowingly been cracked open by her kiss.

He had fallen for her long before this.

Unintentionally…

Huo Tingdong slowly bowed his head, his handsome face approaching hers, his thin lips slightly parted, “Lin Qi, could you… teach me one more time?”

“What?” Lin Qi didn’t comprehend the meaning behind his words for a moment.

Especially since…

His bewitchingly handsome face was so close, she had never been so intimately near a man, so much so that the air she could breathe was filled with his faint breath.

He said he wanted her to teach him again.

Teach him what?

Huo Tingdong said, “The difference between a kiss and artificial respiration.”

Having said that, his thin lips suddenly pressed down, lightly touching her lips.

Lin Qi’s eyes widened in astonishment; her breathing became erratic, and so did her heartbeat.

“Mmm… Huo Tingdong…”

His sudden kiss left her with no mental preparation…
