The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 122 - You Don’t Need to Take Responsibility

Chapter 122: Chapter 122 You Don’t Need to Take Responsibility

The protocol officer looked somewhat conflicted as he glanced at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi stood her ground, “In any case, don’t bring the flowers to my hospital room, I’m afraid of pollen allergies.” Even if she wasn’t prone to allergies, she couldn’t withstand so many flowers piling up in one hospital room.

With no other choice, the protocol officer could only arrange for the flowers to be taken to the garden downstairs.

Once the flower cart was pushed away, it left behind a carpet of petals.

Lin Qi said to the sanitation worker, “Auntie, I appreciate your hard work. Please clean up the room.”

“Alright, Miss Lin, I’ll clean it up right away.”

Turning around, Lin Qi asked Lu Li, “Do you want to sit for a while?” She noticed that Lu Li had made no move to leave.

“Mhm.”

Lu Li took a seat on the sofa in the hospital room.

Lin Qi also sat down on the hospital bed.

The two were silent, facing each other.

Lin Qi glanced out of the window, noticing that it was getting late, and then said, “Momo will soon be coming back from school.”

Lu Li nodded with a smile, “I like Momo very much.”

Lin Qi felt awkward for a moment, “Momo is cute, so he’s loved by everyone.”

Lu Li said, “It’s not because he is cute, I just love everything associated with you.”

Lin Qi: “…” Her face instantly felt scorching hot, and she didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

Lu Li then said seriously, “Lin Qi, although it may seem presumptuous, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to my mother.”

Huace Group.

Meeting room.

Mo Ke paused the meeting and came in, “Mr. Huo, the flowers sent by the Lodin Mountain Flower House were rejected by Miss Lin.”

Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrows, “Rejected?”

Mo Ke nodded and whispered in his ear, “The protocol officer called and said that Miss Lin was with a man. It’s said to be the Young Director of Mingde Hospital, Lu Li.”

Upon hearing that name, Huo Tingdong abruptly stood up, his movements so abrupt that documents on the table were brushed to the floor by his jacket.

He stared at Mo Ke’s face, his own countenance turning dark, “Are you certain? That man is the Mingde Hospital Director?”

“Yes.”

Huo Tingdong turned around, leaving his subordinates glancing at each other in confusion in the silent meeting room where one could almost hear a pin drop.

“Today’s meeting is canceled, dismiss,” Huo Tingdong left these words behind as he strode towards the door.

Mo Ke quickly followed and asked, “Mr. Huo, are you heading to the hospital?”

“Prepare the car.”

“Yes.”

Hospital.

Huo Tingdong rushed over.

Too impatient to wait for the elevator, he went up the fire escape straight to the hospital room.

From a distance, he saw Han pacing anxiously in front of the hospital room.

As Huo Tingdong turned around, Han, with his eyes wide open as if seeing a savior, immediately ran towards him.

“Daddy!”

He threw himself into Huo Tingdong’s arms, clutching at the man’s tie and pointing towards the hospital room, anxiously uttering “Mmh mmh” noises.

Huo Tingdong’s expression changed, “What’s wrong?”

Han was too agitated to articulate, and in his urgency, pulled Huo Tingdong’s tie towards the hospital room.

Huo Tingdong was dragged by Han to the door of the hospital room.

The door to the hospital room was tightly closed.

Through the small window, Huo Tingdong saw several figures inside the room.

Lin Qi was sitting on the hospital bed, wearing a knitted cardigan, Lu Li stood beside her, and on the sofa, a well-dressed, elegant, and dignified lady sat holding Momo affectionately in her arms. In her eyes, there was remorse, affection, and above all, reproach.

Aunt Lu looked at Lu Li with some reprimand, “Lu Li, you should have told me about this earlier. Xiao Qi gave birth to a son for you, and you’ve kept it from me all these years. Were you afraid that I wouldn’t acknowledge my grandson?”

Half an hour earlier.

Lu Li had brought his mother to the hospital room.

Lin Qi did not know what Lu Li intended, after all, she had owed Lu Li a favor. If it weren’t for his intervention, registering Momo would have been very difficult.

Unexpectedly…

Lu Li brought up Momo’s issue with Aunt Lu.

Just as Momo and Han had finished school and entered the room, Lu Li held Momo and “confessed” this to his mother, “Mom, I’ve been hiding something from you for many years. Seven years ago, Qiqi bore me a son. All these years with no news, and now that I’ve finally found Qiqi, I want to take responsibility for her.”

Lin Qi was shocked.

She was painfully aware that Lu Li knew that Momo wasn’t his flesh and blood. Although Lu Li’s name was listed as the father on the official records, Lu Li was more aware than anyone that there was no blood relation between him and Momo.

Lin Qi looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

Yet Lu Li pressed her shoulder, signaling her to stay quiet for the moment.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Lu took a particular liking to Momo.

Over the years, Lu Li had been busy with his studies and work, leaving Aunt Lu worried about his matrimonial prospects.

With the belief that a man should first establish a household and then a career, Aunt Lu carefully picked out many marriage prospects for him, all of which were rejected by Lu Li.

Now, seeing the adorable son that Lu Li and Lin Qi had and Lu Li’s assertive intentions to take responsibility for Lin Qi, it was naturally a welcomed development for Aunt Lu.

In Aunt Lu’s eyes, Lin Qi was also of good background, education, and manners. As a daughter-in-law, she was quite commendable.

Most importantly, she had given birth to Momo who was such a lovely son for Lu Li, naturally earning Lin Qi a lot of extra points in her view.

Aunt Lu looked affectionately at Momo then gently turned to Lin Qi and asked Lu Li, “Lu Li, since you also said you want to take responsibility for Xiao Qi, do you plan to marry her?”

Lu Li nodded, “I’m just afraid Xiao Qi might be unwilling.”

Aunt Lu looked worriedly at Lin Qi and asked, “Xiao Qi, would you be willing to marry my son and become a daughter-in-law of the Lu Family?”

Lin Qi faced Aunt Lu, unsure how to refuse, and after a long pause, she cautiously began, “Aunt Lu, I am very touched by your kindness, but…”

The door was suddenly pushed open.

“She is unwilling.”

The man’s cold voice rang out.

Lin Qi stared wide-eyed at the door; Huo Tingdong walked into the room holding Han, who squirmed around in his arms like a kitten.

“Huo Tingdong?” Lin Qi was at a loss for words, “How did you get here?”

Huo Tingdong glanced at her, his gaze finally landing on Lu Li as he coldly uttered, “She doesn’t need you to take responsibility.”

Lu Li stood tall and turned to look at Huo Tingdong, elegantly composed, smiling as he asked, “Mr. Huo, this is a private matter between Miss Lin and me. You have no place to interfere.”

Aunt Lu said uncertainly, “Who might this be…”

Huo Tingdong’s expression was blank: “I am her…”

Lin Qi interjected, “He is my ex-husband.”

Huo Tingdong’s expression instantly turned cold.

A look of stiffness passed over Aunt Lu’s face, “Lu Li? Xiao Qi… she was married before?”

Lu Li said indifferently, “Mom. Indeed, Xiao Qi had a very brief marriage with Mr. Huo.”
