Huo Tingdong furrowed his brows and slowly stood up, walking over to Huo Yanlin and asked, “I really want to know what Ye Chan said to Han when she took him upstairs, something she shouldn’t have said, causing Han to hide away by himself. I don’t care what concept she wanted to express, but I do not wish for this to happen again.”
Huo Yanlin defended Ye Chan, saying, “What do you think she could possibly say to Han? She’s a grandmother too; even if she’s not as emotionally invested in you, she still sees Han as her own flesh and blood, at least she bears no ill intentions.”
Huo Tingdong said no more.
There were some barriers between him and Huo Yanlin. After all, Huo Yanlin spent very little time with him from childhood, and even as Huo Tingdong grew into an adult and established his own family, Huo Yanlin took on very little of the fatherly responsibilities.
Huo Tingdong didn’t have much affection for him. The respect he felt was only because he was his father.
Huo Tingdong said, “Although Han is not Lin Qi’s biological child, Lin Qi treats Han as her own. I think she’ll definitely make a good mother. I hope not to hear ‘she’s the stepmother’ ever again.”
From his words, Huo Yanlin could roughly guess what Ye Chan had said to Han.
He sighed, “She is not you. She hasn’t had much interaction with Lin Qi, and Ye Chan has never had any children, so don’t take her words to heart. As for Lin Qi… I also believe that she could be a good mother.”
“Okay, let’s leave it at that.”
Huo Tingdong said, “I’m returning to my room to rest. Father, you should rest early too.”
Huo Yanlin nodded absently.
He watched as Huo Tingdong walked out the door, feeling a bit conflicted.
Since Huo Yanlin split from the Huo Family to start on his own, despite many years, his overseas development wasn’t going smoothly.
The global economic situation wasn’t great, quite a few economists had predicted a recession in the global economy.
But the Huo Family was different.
Huo Tingdong had a unique talent in business, planning strategies and making decisive moves, perhaps a style honed during his time in the military. Under his leadership, the Huo Family’s scale had grown by tens of times compared to before.
Nowadays, Huo Tingdong was among the top three wealthiest in the world, with an extremely considerable net worth.
With his background, he really didn’t need to care about marrying equally, for his wealth, there was no real equal match.
However, Huo Yanlin was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Qi’s background.
He had consented to the marriage at the time because the Old Lady was superstitious and had Lin Qi’s fortune told, feeling that this woman would surely bring blessings to her grandson.
At that time, Huo Tingdong was in a vegetative state, and the Old Lady thought that the Huo Family’s lineage could not end with her if Huo Tingdong never awoke.
So, she racked her brains and chose Lin Qi from among many candidates.
The Lin Family was not small, but wasn’t considered prestigious. First, the chances of Huo Tingdong waking up were slim—who among the daughters of prestigious families would marry him to be a widow? Second, if something happened to Huo Tingdong, a daughter-in-law from a too powerful background would be too uncontrollable, especially regarding custody issues. The Old Lady chose Lin Qi after thorough consideration.
But with Huo Tingdong as he is now, Huo Yanlin had not expected him to want to remarry Lin Qi.
In his eyes, Lin Qi wasn’t the best choice for a daughter-in-law of the Huo Family.
Yet his son was determined, and he, as the father, seemed to have no room to object.
…
Dawn broke.
Lin Qi stood by the window, watching the hints of daylight on the horizon, feeling tired but with too many issues on her mind to sleep.
Turning around, she looked at the two Little Babys on the bed, still asleep, cuddled up together, with adorable and peaceful sleeping faces.
Suddenly, Lin Qi thought of the child taken away by Zheng Xuanyi, whose whereabouts were still unknown.
At the ends of the earth, she had no idea where to look for him.
He should be about the same age as Momo by now and could understand things; maybe he has a new family, with foster parents.
If one day, when she finally found this child, but he already had foster parents, how was she supposed to bring the child back?
Would that child be willing to recognize her?
Lin Qi had never given up the thought of searching for her child’s whereabouts.
Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
Lin Qi was getting ready to go to bed and, hearing the noise, she looked towards the door.
Huo Tingdong walked in silently.
Seeing Lin Qi awake, he was surprised, “You haven’t slept?”
“Mmm, insomnia, maybe it’s because of an unfamiliar bed.”
Lin Qi, seeing that Huo Tingdong was dressed neatly, asked skeptically, “Did you also stay up all night?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “I’m already awake, just finished washing up and changed clothes.”
Lin Qi was surprised, “You’re up so early; are you going out?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Yes, I have something to take care of.”
Lin Qi thought it was company business and nodded, “Okay, then you go.”
She was already accustomed to Huo Tingdong’s early departures and late returns.
Huo Tingdong said, “You haven’t slept all night, you should get some rest.”
He lifted his wrist, looked at the watch, and said, “I’ll probably be back in the afternoon.”
“Okay…”
Lin Qi got into bed and covered herself with the blanket.
Huo Tingdong approached the bed and bent down to kiss her forehead.
Lin Qi also kissed his cheek, “Be careful on the road.”
“Mmm.”
Huo Tingdong didn’t say much and left the room.
The garage.
He drove a car out.
Lin Qi slept until the afternoon.

When she awoke, the curtains were drawn, and Momo and Han were sitting on the floor, piecing together Legos.
Han’s room was hidden with many Lego sets; he loved putting together Legos the most, and Momo initially wasn’t interested in such childish toys, but just to pass the time, he had begun playing with Han and discovered the joy in it. In one morning and half an afternoon, they had actually put together a castle and a race car.
Since Lin Qi was asleep, they didn’t dare make too much noise and communicated in whispers.
Seeing Lin Qi awake, Momo spoke with surprise, “Mommy, you’re awake?”
Lin Qi didn’t expect the two to be so well-behaved and did not disturb her sleep, “Have you eaten?”
“We’ve eaten.”
Momo said, “When I woke up, I saw Mommy still sleeping and knew for sure that Mommy hadn’t slept all night.”
Lin Qi was surprised, “How did you know?”
Momo replied, “I woke up in the middle of the night and saw Mommy standing by the bed, looking worried, and knew Mommy hadn’t slept all night.”
Han sweetly chimed in from the side, “Aunt Qiqi looks like Sleeping Beauty when she sleeps.”
Momo flicked his little head, “You’re good at delivering love potions!”
Lin Qi asked, “Has Daddy come back?”
Han shook his head, “Daddy hasn’t returned yet. Does Mommy miss Daddy?”
Lin Qi blushed, “No. He went out very early and said he would be back in the afternoon.”
