Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Come on, Husband, Give Me a Hug
Song Shuyan was feeling more smug than ever: “I’ve told you long ago that when it comes to men, you can neither disbelieve nor fully believe them! Are his words the absolute truth? Hah. Lin Qi, you’re too naive! No matter what, if you can bear him a son, I can too! What does it matter if you got a marriage certificate or got married? If it’s like this just after the wedding, in the future, incidents like this will only increase.”
After a pause, she continued with a mix of cold mockery and warm sarcasm, “Do you think you can keep him to yourself?”
In Song Shuyan’s eyes, Lin Qi was just an incredibly naive woman, not aggressive or competitive at all. Maybe that’s why Huo Tingdong married her, because he valued this trait.
She behaved so obediently.
All he needed was a compliant and docile wife!
But with so many uncertainties in the future, who can say for sure how it will turn out!
Lin Qi abruptly slammed her hand on the table, overturning the milk in front of her onto the ground.
Startled, Song Shuyan immediately stood up upon seeing the milk spill! She seemed so considerate in ordering a cup of milk for her, but in reality, she had secretly tampered with it.
Even though Huo Tingdong had tacitly allowed her to keep the baby, Lin Qi was also pregnant. Besides ensuring the safety of her own child, she naturally wanted to find a way to get rid of Lin Qi’s child, so she secretly added musk to the milk.
But she hadn’t expected this damn woman to knock it over!
Lin Qi cast Song Shuyan a glance, pretending to be emotionally agitated as she purposely knocked over the milk. She came prepared to this meeting and was on guard against anything Song Shuyan offered her; Lin Qi wouldn’t eat or drink them. Thus, seeing how Song Shuyan panicked made her suspect there was something wrong with the milk, confirming her guess!
The hearts of women are most poisonous indeed!
Lin Qi did not show it and continued to play her part: “I don’t believe it! I’m calling him right now!”
Song Shuyan feigned calm, “Go ahead, call him.”
Lin Qi truly took out her phone and dialed Huo Tingdong’s number.
The call connected quickly.
Huo Tingdong’s voice came through, deep and tender, “Hello? Wife?”
Song Shuyan felt a twinge in her heart upon hearing this voice.
Perhaps it was because she had never seen, nor could she imagine, this man being so gentle. That tone, so excessively doting, made her feel sour and jealous, yet she forcefully suppressed these feelings from showing.
Lin Qi said menacingly into the phone, “Huo Tingdong! I’m asking you, what’s the deal with Song Shuyan?”
On the other end, Huo Tingdong was utterly baffled!
It was rare for Lin Qi to initiate a call to him; he thought this little one missed him. But as soon as she started talking, it was an onslaught of accusations, leaving him completely perplexed.
Huo Tingdong said, “Didn’t I make myself clear yesterday?”
Lin Qi replied, “Yes! You emphasized repeatedly to me yesterday, you said, you absolutely wouldn’t let this woman have the child! And what happened? You lied to me!”
Huo Tingdong was even more confused.
When had he ever said that?
Lin Qi began to sob in collapse, “Huo Tingdong, you said you wouldn’t lie to me, boo hoo hoo…”
She covered her face, rubbing her reddened eyes, her shoulders heaving up and down as if she were crying.
However, she was actually holding back laughter with great difficulty; it was almost spasmodic!
Originally, seeing Song Shuyan so certain of herself, she knew she had been heavily deceived by Huo Tingdong. Lin Qi wanted to laugh but had to endure. But after making the call without prior communication, she bombarded him with questions, and Huo Tingdong’s puzzled and innocent reaction was making her struggle to contain herself!
On the other end, Huo Tingdong, hearing Lin Qi’s somewhat abnormal reaction and slightly exaggerated tone, began to grow suspicious, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Lin Qi immediately said, “Right now, I’m with Song Shuyan! She’s flaunting in front of me, saying that you lied to me, you promised you would abort her child, but she says, you’ve tacitly agreed for her to keep the baby and that you’re willing to acknowledge her child! Tell me, what is really going on? I want an explanation…”
Huo Tingdong: “I…”
Lin Qi suddenly became desperate again: “I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen!”
Huo Tingdong: “…”
At this moment, if he still didn’t realize that Lin Qi was acting, then there was definitely something wrong with his brain.
Huo Tingdong sighed and started to go along with her act: “Wife, calm down. Where are you? Can I come over?”
Lin Qi said, “I don’t want to see you! Boo hoo hoo… Heartless and ungrateful scoundrel…”
Huo Tingdong: “…”
Even though he knew she was acting and doing it deliberately, when she called him a “scoundrel”, he still felt extremely wronged!
Huo Tingdong said, “Wife…tell me where you are, I’ll come over and explain everything to you face to face!”
Lin Qi responded, “Man Island Cafe, close to the company. Come here for a bit; I’ll wait for you! You must give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, we can’t go on like this!”
She hung up the phone and looked at Song Shuyan: “Song Shuyan, today we will settle things between us once and for all! If he agrees to let you have a child, I will divorce him!”
Song Shuyan was ecstatic!
Really?
Can she really divorce him that easily?
Based on her understanding of Huo Tingdong, he has always detested being defied by others.
If she dares to initiate a divorce, then, just wait and see!
Twenty minutes later.
Huo Tingdong arrived at the scene fashionably late.
As soon as he parked his car by the curb, he got out of the vehicle, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Mo Ke’s car as well.
Before he had a chance to eat since Lin Qi had called him out, he sent her into the cafe and then grabbed a takeaway meal nearby, gobbling it down in his car.
Mo Ke also saw Huo Tingdong, holding his chopsticks and clutching his lunch box, blinking with an aggrieved look in his eyes.
Huo Tingdong gave him a cold stare, then with hands tucked in his trouser pockets, he turned around and entered the cafe.
At the entrance of the private room, he took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Before he entered, Song Shuyan had already heard his footsteps and became nervous. Upon seeing Huo Tingdong, Lin Qi huffed and turned her face away with an air of refusing to deal with him.
Huo Tingdong: “…”
Had he not known she was acting, he would not have been able to discern whether she was genuinely angry or just pretending!
This little one really has a talent for acting!
Huo Tingdong walked over and sat next to Lin Qi: “Wife, why are you ignoring me?”
Song Shuyan looked at him somewhat in shock.
Lin Qi gave him the cold shoulder like that, and he was still coaxing her with such a pleasant voice!
She felt like she had lost again!
Song Shuyan cautiously kept silent, just watching Huo Tingdong cajole her.
Lin Qi was still fuming, and Huo Tingdong couldn’t help but chuckle: “Why is that little face all scrunched up? Come on, let hubby give you a hug.”
