Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Pregnancy Reaction
Huo Tingdong felt that she was acting out of the ordinary.
When he held her in his arms, her bones felt soft, as if she had no strength.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Lin Qi said, “I feel very sleepy and don’t have any strength.”
Perhaps lying in his arms was too comfortable, she didn’t want to get up.
Huo Tingdong said, “Then let’s go home, okay?”
“Mmm…”
Huo Tingdong held her tightly, covered her with his jacket, and walked out of the office.
Mo Ke saw Huo Tingdong carrying Lin Qi out and thought she was either uncomfortable or sick, and he got nervous, “What happened to Madam?”
Huo Tingdong said, “She doesn’t have much strength, I’ll carry her to the car.”
Mo Ke uttered an “Oh,” and immediately walked ahead to press the elevator for him.
In the car, Lin Qi was drowsy and almost fell asleep. When he carried her to the passenger seat, her little hand was still hooked on his shoulder.
Huo Tingdong grabbed her hand, gently unhooked it, kissed the back of her hand, buckled her seatbelt, and didn’t have the heart to wake her up.
Perhaps it was because of the pregnancy…
Lately, she had been feeling a bit sleepy. Once she fell asleep and was then woken up, she felt limp and weak all over.
Huo Tingdong got in the car and started it.
They arrived home.
He carried her out of the car, and as they entered the house, the room was quiet.
The living room lights were on.
The housemaid was waiting for their return: “Sir, Madam, you…”
“Shush.”
Huo Tingdong glanced at the woman sleeping lightly in his arms and spoke in a low voice, “Don’t wake her.”
The housemaid then saw that Lin Qi was nestled comfortably in his arms, sleeping soundly.
She immediately walked to the bedroom door and pushed it open.
Huo Tingdong carried her onto the bed and covered her with the blanket.
He tenderly stroked her cheek, and seeing her eyelids flutter open slightly, he immediately asked, “Do you want to eat something before sleeping?”
Lin Qi said, “I’m not hungry… I just want to sleep.”
She didn’t know why, but she was extremely tired and didn’t want to move at all.
Huo Tingdong hummed, “Then sleep first, and if you’re hungry after waking up, you can eat something.”
“Okay…”
Lin Qi hugged the blanket and closed her eyes.
Huo Tingdong walked outside the door and saw the housemaid looking worried, “Madam is just going to sleep like this? Isn’t she going to eat something?”
Huo Tingdong said, “She seems to have no strength, is this normal for pregnant women?”
The housemaid said, “It varies from person to person! When I was pregnant with my eldest, I didn’t have severe pregnancy reactions, but it was quite uncomfortable when I was pregnant with my second child.”
Pausing, she said, “Since Madam has no appetite, let her sleep first, and when she wakes up, I can make something for her anytime.”
“Okay.”
Huo Tingdong suddenly remembered something, “The three kids?”
The housemaid said, “Lili is drawing in her room, Momo is tutoring Han with his homework.”
Huo Tingdong frowned, walked to the door of the second bedroom, and without even opening the door, through it, he heard Momo suddenly burst out furiously, “Didn’t I teach you this problem yesterday? Didn’t you memorize the formula yesterday! I just checked randomly today, and how can you not know it now!? Did you even use your brain to look at the problem?”
Han, feeling aggrieved, whimpered, “I forgot after sleeping…”
Momo continued fretfully: “How could you forget such a simple equation? Then why don’t you forget to eat?”
Han weakly argued: “If I forget to eat, my stomach will growl and remind me to eat.”
Momo was so angry with his response that only the sound of grinding teeth remained.
Huo Tingdong’s movements stiffened, his hand retracted.
He always felt that if he pushed the door open at this moment, Momo would take out his anger on him.
Huo Tingdong thought for a while, then turned around and left.
In the room, Momo was still angry, not noticing the footsteps outside the door.
Han immediately supported him to the chair, massaging his shoulders while sycophantically consoling him: “Don’t be angry! Cool down, come on, have some soda.”
Momo huffily said: “I won’t drink! So dumb.”
Han cried out suddenly and whimpered: “It’s because Daddy and Mommy gave all the good intelligence to you! Sometimes I feel it’s not fair! Why did Mommy make you so smart, what about me? My intelligence isn’t as good as yours. Maybe God is fair, when he opens a door for me, he closes a window.”
Momo, under his flattering nonsense, was so irritated he laughed: “Tell me! What door did God open for you, and what window did he close?”
Han said: “He opened the door of cuteness for me, Mommy made me cuter than you! But, he closed the door of wisdom for me!”
Momo raised an eyebrow skeptically, sizing him up: “Are you cuter than me?”
Han asserted: “Of course, I’m cuter than you.”
Momo countered: “Where are you cute?”
Han: “…”
Momo stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek: “You’re not even cuter than me!”
Han muttered resentfully: “Mommy always says I’m cute!”
Momo mercilessly retorted: “Maybe that’s because she feels there’s nothing else to praise apart from ‘cute’!”
Han: “…”
Late at night.
Huo Tingdong had just turned off his computer, intending to check if Lin Qi had woken up.
Suddenly, Huo Yanlin gave him a call.
Lately, the Huo Family had been quiet, ever since Huo Tingdong declared he wanted to separate from the Huo Family, the situation had been in a stalemate.
Huo Tingdong answered the call, “Hello?”
Huo Yanlin said: “Tingdong, Grandma is not feeling well, come back and see her!”
Huo Tingdong’s breath paused slightly: “What’s wrong with Grandma?”
Huo Yanlin said: “Anyway, hurry back now! Grandma keeps asking to see you.”
After speaking, he hung up the call.
Huo Tingdong held his phone, his face slightly stiff.
The Old Lady’s health indeed wasn’t very good, and at this late hour, Huo Yanlin suddenly calling him… Could it be… something happened to the Old Lady?
He casually picked up his coat, walked to the vestibule, the maid hearing the noise at the vestibule, chased out: “Mr. Huo, are you going out this late?”
Huo Tingdong said: “Yes, I have to go out, if my wife wakes up hungry, help her make something to eat.”
The maid nodded: “Be careful on the road, sir.”
Huo Tingdong rushed back to the Huo Family at breakneck speed.
The car stopped at the doorstep and then turned off.
He picked up the car keys, just entered the house, Ye Chan holding Huo Yanlin came downstairs, seeing Huo Tingdong had rushed back, his expression relaxed: “You’re back!”
Less than half an hour after the call, he rushed back, proving he still cared about the elderly.
Huo Tingdong asked: “How is Grandma? Didn’t you take her to the hospital?”
Huo Yanlin said: “Grandma is in the upstairs room, you go up and see her!”
