The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 804: Punishment

At that moment, Du Huaixi was already so exhausted that she could barely stand, her strength drained by him, resting in his arms, not wanting to move at all.

She was genuinely a bit regretful now, realizing she shouldn’t have impulsively said those words... angering him.

Now, she had received her "punishment."

AM.

The Huo Family.

Lin Qi got up in the middle of the night, went to her daughter’s room for a check, and saw Huo Zijin was sound asleep.

She gently closed the door, and as she passed by the study, seeing the light still on, she lightly knocked on the door and walked in.

As the door opened, Lin Jinmo looked up at the sound, and upon seeing it was Lin Qi, he relaxed and smiled, "Mom, why are you up so early?"

Lin Qi asked, "Why are you still up so late?"

Lin Jinmo replied, "I’m receiving an email, there’s a case that needs my urgent attention."

After a pause, he added, "You should get some rest."

Saying this, he lightly picked up a cup nearby and took a sip of coffee.

Lin Qi asked, "Has Tinghan come back?"

Lin Jinmo teased, "It looks like he isn’t willing to come back tonight."

Lin Qi asked, "Where did he go?"

Lin Jinmo replied, "When we called in the afternoon, he said he was going to visit the set, to see Xixi. It seems he’s gone to reconcile with Xixi."

Lin Qi sighed, "When will he finally win over Xixi? Also, Jinmo, are you not planning to find someone? Or perhaps... you actually like men."

Lin Jinmo: "..."

Lin Qi crossed her arms, "Mom’s actually very open-minded. If you told me you like boys, I could accept it."

Finding it amusing, Lin Jinmo innocently rested his chin on his hands, smiling at Lin Qi, "Then I guess I’ll have to be honest with mom. I do like boys."

Lin Qi immediately put on a gossipy expression, leaning her chin on her hand at the desk just like him, curiously asking, "What type of boys do you like?"

Lin Jinmo paused for a moment and said, "I like, those who are delicate, cute, can act spoiled, and whose hair isn’t too short, preferably a bit longer."

Lin Qi’s mouth formed an "O" shape, "Are you a 1 or a 0?"

Lin Jinmo slightly frowned, "I..."

After a long response time, he realized what being a 1 or a 0 meant, and shyly said, "I’m a 1!"

Lin Qi said, "Well, mom supports you. So, do you have a partner?"

Lin Jinmo: "...No."

Lin Qi: "Then you should hurry."

Lin Jinmo: "I know you’re anxious, but don’t be. Once Tinghan and Xixi are together, it’ll be my turn."

Lin Qi said, "I rely more on your sister than that boy."

Lin Jinmo replied, "Sister’s still so young. You might as well rely on Linzhou."

Lin Qi said, "Not really, I think Junjun and Yinyin are quite compatible. Didn’t they go out on a date together tonight?"

Lin Jinmo slightly frowned, "What?"

Lin Qi said, "You didn’t know? They went to the movies together and got back late."

Lin Jinmo became a bit angry, "That guy better not be trying to take Yinyin home!"

Lin Qi said, "I think it’s good. Junjun is outstanding in appearance, family background, and character. What’s lacking? Besides, they’ve had a great relationship since they were kids. Yinyin also likes him a lot. If they naturally end up together, I’d be happy to see it."

With a pause, she couldn’t help but tease, "What, are you reluctant to let your sister get married? I know you and Tinghan adore your sister, but she’ll have to get married someday."

Lin Jinmo muttered to himself, "No wonder... he suddenly told me he wanted to pick up Yinyin from school, it seems he has ulterior motives."

Lin Qi said, "You’re not allowed to disrupt their relationship. Aunt Yufei and I are their biggest shippers!"

Lin Jinmo playfully said, "Mom, do you know that Ah Yin also likes Yinyin?"

Lin Qi was taken aback for a moment, "Really?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Jinmo: "Yes, Ah Yin really likes Yinyin."

Lin Qi said, "I still think Junjun and Yinyin are the best match! I dream of them being together."

After a pause, she stood up, "Alright, mom’s tired. I’m going back to sleep, and you should rest early too."

Lin Jinmo gently looked at her, "Alright, good night."

Lin Qi glanced outside the window, "It’s already dawn!"

...

Du Huaixi slept until three in the afternoon.

When she woke up, there was no one beside her.

As soon as she sat up, she felt sore all over.

She looked down.

Besides the bruises from wire work, there were also marks left by a certain man’s rough treatment.

She got out of bed, ignoring Huo Tinghan’s whereabouts, and headed straight to the bathroom, filling the tub for a bath.

After a while, through the door, she heard movements from the entrance.

It seemed someone had returned.

After her bath, she returned to the room, glanced at the floor, and realized her clothes were unwearable. So, she went to the wardrobe, opened it, and saw rows of Huo Tinghan’s usual clothing.

He mainly wore formal attire but also had casual wear.

Du Huaixi scanned and picked a pleasing casual shirt, slipping it over her head.

As soon as she changed, a peculiar aroma wafted through the air.

Her stomach growled in response.

She was hungry.

Du Huaixi opened the door and followed the scent to the kitchen entrance.

In the open kitchen, Huo Tinghan was frying ham, and the aroma was continuously emanating from the pan he held.

How fragrant...

During filming, Du Huaixi had to maintain her figure. Not having a non-fattening body type, she strictly controlled her diet and hadn’t smelled the aroma of ham in a long time.

"Awake?"

Huo Tinghan had long known she’d been observing from the kitchen door for a while. When he heard her approach, he casually picked up another slice of ham, frying it in the pan.

Du Huaixi stared at the sizzling, greasy ham, swallowed, "So fragrant, but unfortunately, I can’t eat it."

Huo Tinghan pointed to a vegetable and fruit salad on another plate, "That’s yours."

Du Huaixi glanced over; the sight of the green salad made her instinctively nauseous, "...You’re pretty nice though."

Huo Tinghan smiled with a curl of his lips, "Aren’t you done filming? It wouldn’t hurt to occasionally indulge."

Saying this, he brought the freshly cooked ham to her mouth, "Open up."

Du Huaixi overcame her guilty conscience, took a bite, and her mouth was filled with the fragrance of meat. Her soul seemed to blissfully float in the sky, "This ham is so fragrant."

"Serrano Ham."

"Oh?"

"It used to be your favorite. After filming, you seldom had it, right?"

Du Huaixi slowly chewed and swallowed before nodding, "Hmm."

Getting to eat something prepared so early in the morning felt rather blissful, such a good boyfriend, yet last night she heartlessly spoke of breaking up.

Perhaps she felt aggrieved at that moment!

After all, the two had been in a cold war for a long time.
