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

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I Have Never Betrayed You

Lin Qi said, “It must be something at work that upset him.”

Mo Ke analyzed, “If there’s anything that could upset Mr. Huo, it’s probably something about Han.”

He followed closely and knew best about Huo Tingdong’s situations at the company.

In the world of fame and fortune, this man had always been strategic and ruthlessly decisive in his actions, never hesitant or dragging things out.

But with Han, he was utterly helpless.

Han gestured with his hands.

It certainly had nothing to do with him if Daddy was angry.

He had been behaving very well lately.

Mo Ke muttered softly, “If only Mr. Huo had a wife, he would definitely be under her thumb, a real henpecked husband.”

Lin Qi burst out laughing, “How could a man like him be henpecked?”

Mo Ke mysteriously said, “Mr. Huo is ticklish, men who are ticklish are afraid of their wives.”

Lin Qi: “…” He actually believed in such a notion?

“Just kidding!” Mo Ke suddenly smelled something delicious, “That smells good!”

Momo said, “I made the pizza!”

Mo Ke exclaimed, “You know how to cook?”

Momo nodded, looking very proud.

Mo Ke shamelessly asked, “Can I try some?”

Momo said, “No!”

Lin Qi said, “Momo, Uncle Mo Ke helped us move all afternoon, let’s invite him to stay for dinner!”

Having heard Lin Qi say that, Momo then relented, “Alright!” He hesitated and glanced around the room, seeing Huo Tingdong shut himself in and feeling a bit disappointed.

He had also wanted Huo Tingdong to taste his cooking.

The four of them sat down at the dining table.

Lin Qi could see the disappointment in Momo’s eyes, so she stood up, cut two slices of pizza, and went to Huo Tingdong.

Mo Ke stopped her, “Miss Lin, don’t go.”

Lin Qi asked, “Isn’t he hungry?”

Mo Ke said, “Mr. Huo seems to be in a bad mood.” He was good at reading Huo Tingdong’s expressions, “Moreover, he never has the habit of eating in his bedroom, that’s the rule.”

Lin Qi then went back to her seat.

Han had already bitten into the pizza, it was so delicious that his eyes lit up!

So tasty!

This was even better than any pizza he had ever had!

The Huo family’s kitchen was staffed by five-star chefs, and Huo Tingdong occasionally took him out to feast lavishly at restaurants, but he had never had pizza better than what Momo made!

Han blissfully held the pizza, unable to swallow what was in his mouth before he took another bite, the stretched cheese with a rich milky taste, the crisp crust combined with the soft filling, Han demolished a piece in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qi was also surprised, “When did you learn to make pizza?”

Momo said, “Just learned!” The last time he heard that Han liked pizza the most, he specially learned to make it.

However, he would not let Han know that he learned it especially for him.

Han looked at Momo, his eyes full of admiration.

Lin Qi said, “Momo, you start school tomorrow, get up early, and go to bed early after you finish eating.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qi glanced at Huo Tingdong’s tightly closed bedroom door, he seemed a bit strange today, usually, he wouldn’t ignore Han like this.

After coaxing Han and Momo to sleep, Lin Qi took a bath and still decided to give Huo Tingdong a heads-up.

She walked to the door of Huo Tingdong’s room and gently knocked, “Han and Momo are asleep, I’ll take them to school tomorrow.”

No response came from inside the room.

Lin Qi tentatively called out, “Huo Tingdong?”

She pushed open the door, only to find the room dimly lit.

Huo Tingdong lay on the bed with his clothes on, actually asleep.

It was really abnormal for him.

For someone with a cleanliness obsession, it was too strange to lie on the bed without taking a bath or changing into pajamas.

Could it be that he was too tired from work?

Lin Qi walked to the bedside.

The moonlight outside the window cast a faint light into the room.

She tiptoed to the bedside and saw the Demon King with his eyes closed, making barely audible breathing sounds.

He looked very peaceful while sleeping, seemingly with no hint of danger.

Lin Qi took a thin blanket from the cupboard, turned around, and was about to cover him with it when the man on the bed suddenly opened his cold eyes under the moonlight.

Her brain froze for several seconds, and with a “buzz,” she was so startled that the blanket nearly dropped to the floor.

Huo Tingdong coldly stared at her, his features sharp and rigid, his eyes filled with intense displeasure from being disturbed.

She dared to enter his room without his permission?

It seemed she didn’t understand what boundaries were.

Lin Qi explained, “I was afraid you would catch a cold…”

Huo Tingdong continued to look at her coldly, his expression chilling to the bone.

Did he have a bad temper upon waking up?

Lin Qi braced herself, put down the blanket, and turned to leave.

Huo Tingdong slowly sat up from the bed.

“Stop.”

He called out to her.

Lin Qi paused, turned around, and asked, “Is there something wrong?”

Huo Tingdong retorted, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? What business do you have entering my room without permission?”

Lin Qi said, “I saw you hadn’t had dinner and thought you might be feeling unwell…”

“Oh?” Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “Are you concerned about me?”

Lin Qi’s temples throbbed continuously.

It wasn’t exactly concern…

She just wanted to inform him about taking the two little ones to school tomorrow.

Huo Tingdong said, “Lin Qi, who is Momo’s real father?”

His sudden question caught Lin Qi off guard, putting her in an awkward position.

Huo Tingdong said, “I think I have the right to know Momo’s background.”

Lin Qi said, “Does it matter who his father is?”

Huo Tingdong said, “There are rumors outside about you having an affair during our marriage, do you think that’s important?”

He paused, then suddenly let out a cold laugh, “Rumors? Ha, I think the truth is not far from it.”

Lin Qi said, “Huo Tingdong, I have never betrayed you! Even though our marriage is in name only, even though I have no feelings for you, I have never betrayed you.”

Huo Tingdong said, “You speak very nobly! Do you mean to say that Jinmo is my son, magically born solely from you and me?”

Lin Qi was choked up again.

Huo Tingdong pressed on, “Why aren’t you speaking? Or do you also know the consequences of betraying me and dare not admit it frankly?”

“What about Han?” Lin Qi retorted, “He isn’t my biological child either, he is the same age as Momo, he is your child with another woman! I treat him as my own just the same.”

Huo Tingdong said, “He…”

Lin Qi said, “Is it only permissible for officials to set fires and forbidden for the common people to light lamps? I can overlook Han’s past, why must you dig into Momo’s background? Neither of us is morally superior. You entrusted Han to me, you asked me to take care of Han, if you can’t stand Momo, then Momo and I will move out!”

Huo Tingdong said, “I agreed to all your conditions, are you now starting to go back on them?”
