The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 26 - : You Question My Ability to Take Care of the Child?
Chapter 26: Chapter 26: You Question My Ability to Take Care of the Child?
Lin Qi looked at Han and gently pinched his little face, “Han, why do you like me so much?”
Han blinked innocently and suddenly blurted out two words, “Pretty!”
“Pfft,” Lin Qi laughed at Han’s straightforwardness.
Old Madam Huo almost popped her eyes out, “Just because she’s pretty?”
Han nodded his head.
In his eyes, Aunt Qiqi is the most beautiful person in the world!
...
Lin Qi said, “Han, if you say that, your aunt will feel embarrassed.”
Old Madam Huo frowned slightly, her mood complex as she looked at Lin Qi.
Deep down, she didn’t think highly of Lin Qi, but after all, Han started to speak because of her, so she was worried about being too harsh on Lin Qi and upsetting Han.

“Have you eaten?” asked Old Madam, “If you haven’t, shall I have the servants prepare something for you?”
Lin Qi replied, “No need, Momo and I have already eaten outside.”
Little Han in her arms suddenly yawned.
Yawning as if it was contagious, Momo, who was sticking close to Lin Qi, couldn’t help but yawn as well.
“Feeling sleepy?” asked Lin Qi.
“Mhm.”
Both Little Babies almost said it in unison.
Old Madam instructed the nanny, “Take the young master to take a bath and rest.”
Lin Qi said, “Old Madam, let me do it.”
In the bathroom.
A bathtub two meters wide, two meters long.
Lin Qi filled the tub with water and dropped in a bath bomb, which dragged a rainbow-like tail behind it, quickly filling the tub with fragrant bubbles.
Momo stripped off his clothes in no time, naked as the day he was born, and stepped into the bathtub, whereas Han stood shyly at the door, hesitating, his little face blushing, clearly bashful like a young maiden yet to be wed.
He was seven years old.
Huo Tingdong had always taught him the difference between men and women, and although he was usually bathed by a nanny, standing in front of Lin Qi made him feel nervous and shy.
Lin Qi said, “Han, aren’t you going to undress?”
Han wiggled his little bottom, covering his face with his hands, and through the gaps in his fingers, his round eyes looked towards Momo sitting in the bathtub covered in bubbles. He couldn’t decide whether to move or to stay still.
“Can’t Han undress himself?” Lin Qi walked towards him, and just as she squatted down, Han became even shyer, dodging slightly.
Suddenly, the respectful voice of a servant sounded from outside the door.
“Mr. Huo, Miss Lin is in the bathroom.”
“Is she taking a bath?”
“She is bathing the young master.”
The door to the bathroom suddenly knocked.
Lin Qi asked alertly, “Who is it?”
Since she was about to bathe the two Little Babies, she had only taken off her clothes down to a tank top to avoid getting wet.
Huo Tingdong pushed the door and came in directly.
Lin Qi stood up in surprise, “What… what are you doing in here?”
Huo Tingdong gave her a glance and said indifferently, “You’re so nervous, I thought you were undressed.”
Saying that, he saw Han standing aside, nervously fiddling with the hem of his clothes, and knew he was shy.
Lin Qi said, “Han doesn’t know how to undress.”
Huo Tingdong said, “It’s not that he doesn’t know how, he’s just shy.”
Lin Qi was stunned, “Shy? Shy about what?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I’ve taught him since he was young that men and women are different. He’s a boy and you’re a woman. He’s shy.”
Momo leaned against the bathtub and, upon hearing Huo Tingdong say this, confidently replied, “Mommy has always bathed me.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Little Baby is not like you; you’re not embarrassed.”
Momo: “…”
Huo Tingdong told Lin Qi, “You go out, I’ll wash them.”
Lin Qi eyed him skeptically, “Do you know how?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Are you doubting my ability to take care of children?”
Lin Qi glanced at Momo and said, “What about Momo?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll wash him along with the other.”
Momo: “…”
Lin Qi told Momo, “Momo, Mommy is going out first.” Huo Tingdong was right; Momo and Little Baby, both being seven years old, had reached the age of understanding, and she couldn’t be so unrestrained anymore.
After Lin Qi closed the door and walked out, Little Baby finally relaxed with a sigh of relief. However, this time it was Momo who got nervous.
Sitting in the bathtub, he suddenly didn’t know whether to sit or stand, instinctively guarding himself with both little hands, staring eagerly as Huo Tingdong removed his suit and hung it on the coat hanger, the sleeves of the shirt being rolled up neatly, and one by one, he began undressing Little Baby.
So weird!
Huo Tingdong was a man, and he was a boy, but why did he feel nervous?
Momo’s upper body sunk in the bathtub, exposing just his little head above the water; feeling awkward, he blew at the bubbles on the surface. A bubble landed on his nose, and as he went to gently wipe it away, he accidentally rubbed it into his eye.
“Ouch!”
Huo Tingdong tensed up and looked towards Momo, only to see him desperately rubbing his eyes, which had become red around the sockets.
Huo Tingdong walked over, “What’s wrong?”
“Bubbles… in my eyes…” Momo felt a grittiness in his eyes.
Huo Tingdong frowned slightly, bent down, and was just about to pry his eye open.
Behind him, Little Baby, curious, tiptoed for a look and walked toward the bathtub. With bare feet, he slipped on the marble floor and fell down on his bottom with a thud.
“Ouch!” Little Baby fell squarely on his rear end.
Hearing the noise, Huo Tingdong turned his head to see Little Baby had fallen down.
“Little Baby?”
Fortunately, he didn’t hit his head.
Little Baby turned over, got up from the ground, and with a look of aggrievance, rubbed his bottom, opened his mouth and whimpered, clearly hurt from the fall.
Huo Tingdong immediately walked over to him, “Don’t cry, Daddy will hold you.”
As soon as he let go, Momo also whimpered, blinking his eyes, and instinctively grabbed the hem of Huo Tingdong’s clothes because he couldn’t see.
“Splash” went the sound.
Outside the door.
Lin Qi hadn’t gone far when she heard the noise from the bathroom and quickly returned to the door front. Before she could ask, she heard the “splash.”
She immediately pushed the door open but was stunned at the sight.
Huo Tingdong had fallen into the bathtub. His legs were too long and hung outside the tub, his hands supporting himself in the water, his neat suit vest and shirt completely wet.
Little Baby had half his clothes off, his small bottom naked, with only one sleeve of his shirt removed and facing the door.
Upon seeing Lin Qi at the door, Little Baby covered his body with both little hands, suddenly shy, then hastily covered his bottom.
Momo, in disarray, leaned against the edge of the bathtub, with a tuft of frothy bubbles atop his head, barely opening one eye, and looked bewilderedly towards the door.
Lin Qi, witnessing the scene, couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, “Haha, hahaha.”
Huo Tingdong’s face was ashen as he said, “What are you laughing at?”
Lin Qi replied, “Who was it that was full of confidence, saying he was so good at taking care of children?”
