Chapter 162 - Tender Care (1/2)

Huo Yunqi dressed his wound with a dark face and said coldly, “Don’t touch the cold water!”

Xia Luobing’s face darkened with depression. The scratch was on her finger. Why was this man so angry? Could it be that he was distressed by the custom-made plate?

“I know. Thank you.” Xia Luobing said indifferently. She was a criminal policeman and had not been injured before. Of course, she knew how to treat the wound. However, because her daughter was by her side, she did not want to argue with Yunqi Huo over such trivialities.

Duo Duo did not understand what Xia Luobing was thinking, but she rolled her eyes and stretched out her small hand to shake Huo Yunqi’s arm. “Uncle Huo, Mommy is injured, don’t you want to take care of her?”

What if Uncle Huo likes Mommy

The little girl’s wishful thinking made Xia Luobing anxious and uneasy. She coldly lectured her daughter, “You go and play. Children shouldn’t talk nonsense.”

Huo Yunqi sneered, “The reason why a child talks nonsense is because you don’t set a good example. If you’re not injured, why would she say those words?”

Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand why Yunqi was so angry.

After dinner, Xia Luobing hugged Duo Duo and played for a while before coaxing her to sleep. Duo Duo lay under the blanket with only her head exposed. She said softly, “Mommy, I like Uncle Huo.”

Xia Luobing was stunned, and her hand on her daughter’s blanket paused. Today, Duo Duo had expressed her good impression of Huo Yunqi many times, but the more she was like this, the more uneasy her heart became.

“Duoduo, obediently close your eyes and sleep.” Xia Luobing whispered, “We still need to participate in kindergarten activities tomorrow.”

Duo Duo’s spirits were very good. She didn’t have the slightest intention of sleeping. She reached out and grabbed Xia Luobing’s hand. She shook it a few times and said coquettishly, “Mommy, why does Duo Duo have no daddy? You said he went on a business trip. When will he be back? Isn’t it good for Uncle Huo to be Duo Duo’s daddy?”

Uncle Huo was tall and handsome, and he treated her well. She really liked him.

Xia Luobing lowered her head and kissed the little girl on the forehead. “Be good and sleep well. Daddy will be back soon.”

After settling her daughter down with great difficulty, Charlotte left Duoduo’s room and went to the kitchen, taking out the ingredients to wash and cut.

“Dinner’s not full?” Huo Yunqi stood on the stairs and said coldly when he saw Xia Luobing in the kitchen.

Four years later, Xia Luobing seemed to have changed a lot. Just from the way he cooked and patiently looked at it, it was as if he was a different person, and her personality seemed to have restrained a lot.

Xia Luobing’s hand that was holding the knife paused. She turned around and saw Huo Yunqi explaining, “Tomorrow’s kindergarten activity, every child has to bring food to share with everyone.”

Huo Yunqi’s eyes lit up and he slowly went downstairs into the kitchen. He glanced at Xia Luobing and stood in front of the sink and said coldly, “I’ll wash it. Prepare the rest.”

Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and saw that she was wrapping her band-aid fingers. Her mind moved as if something was about to rush out of her chest. However, she quickly adjusted her breathing and suppressed her impulse. She nodded and started to work on other things.

The space in the kitchen was not small but it was definitely not big. Xia Luobing felt as if she could feel Yunqi’s breathing. It was gentle and quiet.

“What’s the kindergarten activity tomorrow?” Huo Yunqi said.

Xia Luobing put the dishes in her hand on the plate and whispered, “The kindergarten holds a gathering once a month. Let the parents bring the dishes over.”

However, because of her work, she was not allowed to participate. Most of the time, Gao Yi’an brought Duo Duo along with her.

Huo Yunqi put the ingredients on the chopping board and looked at Charlotte. He turned around and left without saying a word. When he reached the stairs, he threw a sentence, “I’ll go with you.”

“Why?” Xia Luobing blurted out and found that he was looking at Yunqi anxiously. He quickly turned her head away and said awkwardly, “I mean … you should be very busy … so …”

She really regretted bringing Duo Duo here.

” Xia Luobing, you still like to be so self-righteous.”

Dropping these words, Huo Yunqi went to the bedroom without turning her head. Xia Luobing was awkwardly stunned and smiled bitterly for a long time. Yes, she still liked to be self-righteous.

After packing up the things in the kitchen, Xia Luobing sat in the living room for a long time before going upstairs to go back to Duo Duo’s room. But just as she was about to push the door open, the door was pulled open. Yunqi came out and saw Xia Luobing. “She’s asleep. You don’t need to go in.”

Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi stood face to face. She was tall, but in front of Huo Yunqi, she was only at his chin. Thus, she could feel the heat he exhaled when he spoke. Her face was numb and crisp, and her cheeks suddenly scorched.

The air between the two of them seemed to have stopped moving. After a long while, Xia Luobing seemed to have regained her thoughts. He took a deep breath and looked up at Yunqi Ho. “It’s getting late. You should rest early.”

Huo Yunqi stood at the door of the room and reached out to pinch Charlotte’s chin. “Don’t tell me you don’t have the consciousness to be a lover?” He said with a finger.

Lover?!
