Chapter 167 - Auntie's Gift
Chapter 167 Auntie’s Gift
Huo Yunxi had already become a mother, so she would treat her child with extra caution. In order not to hurt Duo Duo, she could only ask Xia Luobing tactfully.
Xia Luobing was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly, “It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.”
The important thing was that Yunqi didn’t believe it.
Although he had already accepted this fact, Xia Luobing still felt very uncomfortable mentioning it at this moment.
“I’ll go talk to Big Brother.” Huo Yunxi said excitedly. Seeing that Duo Duo was getting more and more adorable, he couldn’t help but call her, “Duo Duo, come to Auntie.”
Duo Duo leaned against Xia Luobing, looked at her and then looked at Huo Yunxi. After confirming that Mommy wouldn’t stop her, she ran over and whispered, “Hello, Auntie.”
Duo Duo’s personality wasn’t introverted, but after these few days, the child seemed to have been affected. She always spoke with caution, causing Xia Luobing to feel very distressed.
“Call me aunt.” Huo Yunxi kissed Duo Duo on the cheek and said dotingly, “Auntie likes Duo Duo.”
Huo Yunxi had always believed that her daughter was her mother’s little cotton-padded jacket. When she was pregnant, she had always wanted to give birth to a daughter. Even the nursery was decorated with a pink color. She didn’t expect that she would still have a son in the end. This made her feel very regretful. Therefore, when she saw the jade-like pink sculptures, she felt that her heart was really in a mess.
“Auntie.” Although she didn’t know why she couldn’t call Huo Yunqi “Auntie”, Duo Duo still obediently called Huo Yunqi “Auntie”.
Huo Yunxi laughed happily. He hurriedly removed a four-leaf herb from Tian Yu’s neck and hung it around Duo Duo’s neck. “Auntie didn’t bring any gifts for Duo Duo, so I gave this to Duo Duo.”
“Mommy said that good children can’t ask for other people’s gifts casually.” Duo Duo tugged at the jade pendant in her hand, and her sensible expression, which she clearly liked but didn’t want, made Huo Yunxi feel even more distressed.
“It doesn’t matter. This is from my aunt.” Huo Yunxi held Duo Duo’s hand. Seeing that the little fellow still didn’t dare to ask for it, he could only ask Xia Luobing, “Sister-in-law.”
Xia Luobing nodded at Duoduo, “Baby, thank you, aunt!”
Duo Duo was also smart. Hearing Xia Luobing’s words, she immediately understood what she meant. She immediately kissed Huo Yunxi hard on the face and said, “Thank you, aunt.”
Huo Yunxi teased the child for a while before letting Duo Duo play with the toys on the carpet. He looked at Xia Luobing and said seriously, “Sister-in-law, what exactly happened between you and big brother?”
She was sure that she hadn’t heard wrongly just now. Big brother seemed to think that Duo Duo was Feng Shuo’s child. This was too ridiculous.
“Yunxi, I don’t want to talk about this right now.” Xia Luobing pursed her lips and changed the topic, “How are things between you and Ye Shaochen? I haven’t heard from you all these years.”
From beginning to end, Xia Luobing believed that she had an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat of the Huo Clan back then. Therefore, she had always felt guilty these past few years and felt that it was best if she did not disturb Huo Yunqi and Huo Yunxi.
“I’m married. I have a one-year-old son.” Thinking of the little fellow at home, Huo Yunxi smiled relaxedly and looked at Xia Luobing scum, “It’s Ye Shaochen!”
Xia Luobing smiled warmly and said, “Congratulations.”
Back then, she had the best relationship with Huo Yunxi and Intoxicated. She and Intoxicated stumbled until today and continued to stumble. Fortunately, Huo Yunxi was happy. Otherwise, this life would have been extremely desperate.
“Sister-in-law, in fact, I feel that Big Brother has always had you in his heart all these years.” Huo Yunxi whispered, “Do you want to give him another chance?”
As a bystander, Huo Yunxi felt that Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi were simply in love and killing each other. They could clearly be happy together, but they still hurt each other. Why bother
“Yunxi, you don’t understand. I can’t go back with him.” Xia Luobing smiled bitterly and shook her head.
There were many misunderstandings between her and Huo Yunqi, the former Huo Corporation, and even Huo Yunqi’s father’s life, so she really couldn’t go back
“But …”
“It’s been a long time since we met. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Xia Luobing smiled at Huo Yunxi, “Are you staying for dinner?”
Huo Yunxi really wanted to nod, but after hesitating for a moment, he still refused, “Sorry sister-in-law, I’m a little worried about the child. He is very clingy, I’m worried that I won’t be able to take care of him well …”
“I understand.” Xia Luobing nodded and smiled. “Since that’s the case, it’s getting late. Hurry up and go back. We’ll talk another day.”
Huo Yunxi nodded, but he was still a little worried, “You and Big Brother, you …”
“Don’t worry, it will be resolved.” Xia Luobing smiled and said from Huo Yunxi to the door, “Don’t call me sister-in-law in the future.”
She knew Huo Yunxi’s intentions, but those two words really pierced her heart and hurt her very much.
“I… I know.” Huo Yunxi replied with a sigh. He waved his hand at Xia Luobing and turned around to drive away.
The night was getting darker and darker. Xia Luobing stood at the door and looked at the drizzling rain. He felt his heart was also wet. It was as if if if if she didn’t take it out to bask in the sun immediately, his body would be covered with green mold.
“Mommy, Duoduo is hungry.”
Her tiny hand gently shook Xia Luobing’s arm a few times before pulling back the person who was staring at the rain curtain.
“Duoduo, be good. Mommy, go and cook immediately.” Xia Luobing gently stroked her daughter’s hair and smiled indulgently.
Ever since the two of them quarreled about Duo Duo’s background, Huo Yunqi didn’t go to the villa for a few days. Duo Duo asked every day from scratch, “Why isn’t Uncle Huo back?” Finally, she got used to living with Xia Luobing again.
“Dingdong ~ Dingdong ~”
Xia Luobing had just cleaned up the kitchen and was about to go upstairs to coax her daughter to sleep when the phone in her pocket rang. Xia Luobing saw the phone number and his expression became serious, “Hi, what’s the matter?”
It was almost nine o’clock, so she didn’t think that the director was bored with her after dinner.
“Dong Haoming, the movie star, was kidnapped. Now, the gangster is demanding 50 million ransom.” Director Gao said in a heavy voice, “According to the modus operandi, this time the gangster is in the same gang as our 9.12 gangster last time.”
On the 12th of September last year, a very bad kidnapping case occurred in City A. The gangster kidnapped the boss of an enterprise and demanded a ransom of 30 million yuan. However, when the boss of the enterprise gathered the money to send it over, the gangster actually tore up the tickets. Moreover, his methods of committing the crime were extremely cruel, causing a very bad social impact.
“Are you going to the station now?” Xia Luobing’s expression was serious. “I’ll be right there!”
Director Gao said in a deep voice, “The gangster requested to bring the ransom to Golden Water Bridge at 12 pm tonight, but only Dong Haoming’s assistant was required to go there alone.”
Xia Luobing mused, “I’ll go.”
The gangsters cleverly chose the Golden Water Bridge. After crossing the bridge, they would enter a dense forest. There was also a resort in the middle, which was very unfavorable for capturing criminals.
“Alright, you arrange for the child to arrive at the station immediately.” Director Gao nodded. He also knew that it was very hard for Xia Luobing to stay alone with the child, but this task could only be given to her with the highest success rate.
Charlotte hung up the phone and gently entered her daughter’s room. Seeing that the little fellow was sleeping sweetly, her heart softened. She carefully picked up her daughter from bed and wrapped her daughter in a blanket. She then called Tao Zui as she walked, “I have a mission. Duo Duo will temporarily stay with you for the night … Alright, I’ll wait for you at Hua Sheng Square.”
An hour later, Xia Luobing had already appeared in the meeting room of the Public Security Bureau. Director Gao attached great importance to this arrest operation and demanded that everyone complete the task and capture this group of people.
“Bing Bing, the gangster has a gun in his hand. This event is quite dangerous. You must pay attention to safety.” Director Gao looked at Xia Luobing and warned him worriedly.
Charlotte nodded. “I know.”
She had participated in many dangerous activities before, so she didn’t have much psychological burden this time. Moreover, even for Duo Duo, she would still protect herself.
The bureau set off for the Golden Water Bridge at eleven o’clock in the evening. At ten fifty, Xia Luobing got up and left the conference room. She looked at the vast sea of stars, thought for a moment, took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Huo Yunqi’s number. At the same time, her heart tightened.
Fortunately, Huo Yunqi picked up the phone after only two beeps, but his business was cold: “What’s the matter?”
A cold voice came from the phone. Charlotte suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She almost subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone, but in the end, she held back and tried to keep her tone calm. “I’m going out on a mission, and Duoduo is intoxicated there.”
This wasn’t her first time on a mission, but for some reason, she felt very uneasy this time. She always felt that she had to arrange Duo Duo’s affairs properly before she could feel at ease.
Huo Yunqi stood on the balcony of the Huo Clan’s old mansion with one hand in his pocket. Holding his phone, he said coldly, “You should tell Feng Shuo.”
There was a long silence on the phone, which made Yunqi regret what he said, but when he thought of the ironic DNA test report, Yunqi’s tone became colder and colder. “Don’t call me unless there’s anything else.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Luobing hung up the phone. Looking at the black screen, Huo Yunqi’s eyes darkened and he threw his phone to the side irritably. His expression was as if he was soaked in ink.
Is there a need to tell him about the mission? Or did he suddenly discover that Feng Shuo’s tree was not as cool as his?
Huo Yunqi sneered and turned to open the door downstairs. Xia Luoxin and Liu Yan were teasing Huo Yunxi’s son. The two of them were laughing happily, while Huo Yunxi, who was beside them, was a little impatient.
“Miss Xia, it’s almost eleven o’clock. It’s time for us to rest.” Huo Yunxi said coldly.
Although Charlotte had never done anything to harm her interests, she was not satisfied with her sister-in-law’s insistence on pestering Huo Yunqi. She felt that if Charlotte hadn’t been here, perhaps her sister-in-law and brother would still be together.
Charlotte looked at the time awkwardly and laughed dryly, “It’s already so late … I really should go home.”
Liu Yan had long since assumed that Xia Luoxin was sincere towards her son, so when she saw that Charlotte was leaving, she hurriedly looked at Huo Yunqi and said, “Is it really too late? Go send her off.”
Joy flashed through Charlotte’s eyes, but she quickly shook her head, “No need, Yunqi must be very tired. I’ll just go back myself.”
Liu Yan looked at her son and frowned in dissatisfaction, “You go …”
“Let’s go.” Before Liu Yan could finish her sentence, Huo Yunqi opened his mouth and looked at Charlotte, “I’ll send you back.”
