Chapter 62 - He's Back
Chapter 62 He’s Back
Huo Yunqi?
Xia Luobing was shocked and her heart skipped a beat. Her fingers subconsciously tightened and she frowned as she calmly said, “What is he doing?”
It’s not surprising that the world is so big and the names are the same, right?
” Miss Xia , I know you’re Qi’s wife, but I don’t ask for anything. I just want him to know that Ji Pan exists! Ji Pan didn’t have a father since he was young, how pitiful!” The woman was so embarrassed that she hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind to pull the child and kneel down in front of Xiao Luobing again.
Xiao Luobing’s eyes darkened and her mind buzzed. Was this a TV show? The child she had saved on the street was Huo Yunqi’s illegitimate son?
Ji Pan , Ji Pan
Xiao Luobing suddenly clasped her fingers on the table and stared at the pitiful woman in front of her, her voice trembling, “Your name is Ji Wei?”
The woman looked at Xiao Luobing with a surprised expression, as if she was wondering how she knew her name. However, her eyes were filled with cautious anticipation, “Did Qi tell you about me?”
Qi … she called him Qi
Xiao Luobing’s ice was like thunder, her mind was blank, and she was speechless for a long time.
“Where did this woman come from?” Huo Yunxi barged in and placed the lunch box on the table with a “bang”. He supported the crumbling Xiao Luobing and glared at Ji Wei and her son. He sneered, “How come I didn’t know my brother had such an older son? Isn’t this too coincidental? My sister-in-law saved your son, and you knew she was Huo Yunqi’s wife? Then you ran by.”
Huo Yunxi ‘s words were like a sharp dagger that tore open the dark clouds covering Xia Luobing. His mind gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and looked at the woman and child kneeling on the ground. He said coldly, “Tell me clearly what happened!”
She had promised Huo Yunqi that she would trust him!
“I’m really grateful that you saved my child today!” Ji Wei’s eyes were red and his face was bitter. “I’ve been living in Southeast Asia with Ji Pan . Originally, I didn’t want to disturb Qi’s life, but now I really don’t have the ability to take care of Ji Pan , so I hope I can hand him over to Qi!”
Southeast Asia? Xiao Luobing recalled what she had heard these past few days.
“Bing Bing, I’ll be back from a business trip to Southeast Asia for two weeks. Take good care of yourself!”
“Brother-in-law is on a business trip? I didn’t hear this news at the company!”
Everything was like a huge whirlpool tightly wrapping around her, making it difficult for her to breathe. Did he lie to her?
“Yunxi, get them up!” Xia Luobing looked at the two people on the ground and felt a chill run down his spine. How deep was a person’s heart to tell such a lie?
Yunqi didn’t let her ask about Ji Wei. She chose to believe it, but what about the truth
“As long as you don’t get me an old lover, or if my son knows how to soy sauce!”
Back then, when the joke was still in his ears, his old lover and his son, who knew how to play soy sauce, were already standing in front of him.
“Sister-in-law!” Huo Yunxi held onto Xiao Luobing’s ice hand tightly and shouted anxiously, “Doctor! Doctor, hurry up!”
Xia Luobing listened to Huo Yunxi ‘s voice getting farther and farther away, and her heart also became colder and colder. The cold sensation quickly spread to all parts of her body, and then fell into complete darkness.
“Sister-in-law!” Huo Yunxi anxiously watched as Xiao Luobing was pushed into the operating room and glared at the nervous Ji Wei. “Let me tell you, if something happens to my sister-in-law, I will definitely not let you off!”
Ye Shaochen quickly rushed to the hospital after receiving Huo Yunxi’s call. Seeing Huo Yunxi anxiously ask, “How is Luo Bing?”
Huo Yunxi ‘s eyes turned red, but before he could speak, someone had already recognized him.
“Shaochen?”
Ye Shaochen ‘s body stiffened and he suddenly turned around. He saw that the person beside the wall had a shocked expression, “Ji Wei? It’s you!”
“You know her?” Huo Yunxi grabbed Ye Shaochen ‘s wrist and panicked, “You, how do you know her?”
Ji Wei’s face was pale. She held onto Ji Pan ‘s small hand and looked at Ye Shaochen with great guilt. “I didn’t expect this to happen …”
“Where is the patient’s family?” The nurse hurriedly ran out and said, “The patient is bleeding. He needs the signature of his family!”
Huo Yunxi ‘s feet softened. If it wasn’t for Ye Shaochen ‘s timely action, his entire body would have fallen to the ground. He looked at the nurse with a trembling voice, “How is my sister-in-law?”
“We’re in the middle of a rescue. Please sign your names first!” The nurse stuffed the notification into Huo Yunxi ‘s hand and urged, “The more you delay the patient, the more dangerous it is!”
Huo Yunxi held the signature pen and closed his eyes to sign his name. He leaned against Ye Shaochen and could not say a word.
Two hours later, the door to the operating room opened and the pale-faced Xia Luobing was pushed out. Huo Yunxi and Ye Shaochen surrounded her and stared at her tightly, not daring to speak.
“The child was not saved.” The doctor shook his head regretfully and reprimanded, “The patient’s body is already weak, so he can’t withstand the blow. You guys are really too careless!”
Huo Yunxi ‘s tears brushed down as he hugged Ye Shaochen and silently shed tears. Drop by drop, he smashed into the man’s shoulder and submerged into his grey shirt.
“Alright.” Ye Shaochen ‘s tone was heavy as he patted Huo Yunxi ‘s shoulder, “Stop crying, Luo Bing is still waiting for you to take care of her!”
Huo Yunxi sniffled, wiped his tears and glared fiercely at Ji Wei before rushing into the ward.
Ye Shaochen looked at Ji Wei and the child behind her. His eyes tightened and he said for a long time, “You two come with me first!”
“Keke … Mom …”
A soft and waxy voice came through the thick clouds. Xia Luobing widened her eyes and saw a doll carved out of jade. She was delighted in her heart. She reached out to carry the little fellow into her arms, but when she stepped on the ground, her entire body fell down sharply. She opened her eyes in panic, “Child!”
“Sister-in-law, you’re awake. That’s great, you’re finally awake!” Huo Yunxi hurriedly gathered around and looked at Xia Luobing anxiously, “Sister-in-law, do you feel anything wrong? Are you hungry? Shall I buy you some millet porridge?”
Huo Yunxi turned around and was about to run out when Xiao Luobing grabbed her wrist, “My child …”
Xia Luobing placed her hand on her lower abdomen. It was cold. She didn’t dare to think about it. She only tried her best to stare at Huo Yunxi with her eyes wide open. Her heart was pulled into a ball. A single sentence seemed to have exhausted all of her strength. “Is my child still here?”
Huo Yunxi ‘s nose turned sour and slowly turned around. She lowered her head and tears fell onto Xia Luobing’s hand. The burning temperature shocked her so much that she suddenly withdrew her hand.
“Sister-in-law, you …”
“I want to be alone for a while. Yunxi, you can go out first!” Xiao Luobing said calmly. She slowly closed her eyes. Tears flowed out of her eyes, rolled over her cheeks, and flowed into her hair beside her ears.
Huo Yunxi looked at Xia Luobing on the bed and covered his mouth tightly, not daring to cry. He lowered his head and slowly walked out of the ward.
Hearing the sound of the ward door being closed, Xia Luobing slowly opened his eyes and stared at the snow-white ceiling, feeling that life had dimmed down in a flash.
A few days ago, she was still in high spirits buying clothes for the baby. Actually, the blue pink one was fine as long as he was still in her stomach
But he’s gone. She didn’t protect her child. She’s not a good mother
Ever since Xia Luobing woke up, her entire body was strangely quiet. Sometimes, she didn’t say a word all day long. Huo Yunxi and Ye Shaochen were quietly accompanying her, and they didn’t even dare to breathe.
“When will Huo Yunqi return?” Xia Luobing suddenly turned her head to look at Ye Shaochen and asked calmly, making it hard to see what she was thinking.
Ye Shaochen frowned and said in a deep voice, “I can’t get in touch with him recently. I think I’ll be back soon!”
“Oh!” Xiao Luobing nodded and continued to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. She was still silent.
Huo Yunxi cautiously said, “Sister-in-law, big brother may have something to do with him. He will definitely come back soon after dealing with the matters over there. You, don’t be angry …”
Xia Luobing replied with a “yes” and continued her previous silence.
Huo Yunxi gritted his teeth and pulled Ye Shaochen to the corridor. His eyes turned red as he shouted, “What do you think my brother is doing? What is going on with that woman and child?”
“Yunxi, I…”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know!” Huo Yunxi stared at Ye Shaochen and said resolutely, “You know that woman.”
Ye Shaochen nodded silently and said for a long time, “Ji Wei was your brother’s lover when he was studying in the United States. At that time, the two of them had a very good relationship.”
“It’s actually true” Huo Yunxi was stunned and looked in the direction of the hospital bed. “Then, what about sister-in-law?”
After leaving the hospital, Xia Luobing moved out of Huo Yunqi’s villa and did not return to the Xia family. She rented a single apartment and lived at 2:00 a day, returning to her previous working condition when she met Huo Yunqi.
“Li Xiang, follow up on this case!” Xia Luobing tossed out the information bag in his hand. “According to the DNA results and fingerprint comparison, this should be the suspect! Go to the place where he appeared!”
Xia Luobing sat back in front of the computer. Her fingers flew like flying. She pulled out all the suspects’ information and compared them one by one. In the end, she gathered the information and sent it over. “Li Xiang, the investigation results of the murder in this rented house are too slow! Focus on these people!”
“Boss!” Li Xiang howled bitterly, “You’re a transformed superwoman!”
It was only at seven or eight o’clock in the evening that Xia Luobing stretched and walked out of the office door. The lights on the other side of the street were on. She subconsciously raised her arm to block her eyes. She couldn’t help but want to get angry. Which bastard dared to shoot a high beam at her!
“Ice!”
The familiar and unfamiliar smell drifted to her nose. Xiao Luobing’s body stiffened, her back straightened, and she slowly turned around. The expression on her face was polite and distant, “You’re back.”
Xia Luobing pulled back the arm that the man had grabbed without a trace. He lowered his head slightly and did not look into the other party’s eyes. The wind blew past his ears and it was cold.
“Bing Bing, let’s talk.” Huo Yunqi said in a deep voice. He looked deeply at the woman in front of him who had obviously lost a lot of weight. His heart ached. He only wanted to pull her into his arms to help her resist all the cold. However, her resistance was so obvious that he didn’t dare to act rashly.
Xia Luobing looked up at the snowflakes and Huo Yunxi ‘s familiar and unfamiliar face. Only today did she realize that she had never really understood the man in front of her. What a ridiculous contractual marriage!
“Alright, let’s go to the coffee shop!” Xia Luobing said indifferently as she brushed past Huo Yunqi and walked in front.
Probably because the New Year was approaching, there were very few people in the cafe. There were a few couples sitting sparsely, accompanied by the fragrance of coffee in the air, which was very sentimental.
Xiao Luobing picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. She slowly put it down and looked at the man opposite her. She was still as handsome and handsome as ever. Her deep eyes were incomprehensible.
Indeed, she never understood him!
“Bing Bing, I’m sorry.” Huo Yunqi said in a hoarse voice, “When I got there, I lost my phone and was busy dealing with other matters, so I didn’t contact you in time.”
Xia Luobing lowered his head to look at the dense heat in the coffee cup. The atmosphere was so quiet that it made people feel awkward not to say anything.
