The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!
Chapter 225 - Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Just Afraid of a Vain Joy

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Just Afraid of a Vain Joy Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Just Afraid of a Vain Joy Because her thoughts were not so clear, the police inevitably questioned whether her testimony was fabricated.

Huo Tingdong said, “What about Song Shuyan?”

Lin Qi replied, “Song Shuyan is being handled by another police officer, in a different room.”

Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll come to get you.”

Lin Qi’s voice was somewhat cold: “Are you here to pick me up or to pick up Song Shuyan?”

Huo Tingdong knew she must be feeling disappointed in him, thinking that he did not trust her.

Huo Tingdong said, “Lin Qi, I know you have some misunderstandings about me. Once you’ve finished giving your statement, let’s clear this up.”

Lin Qi responded vaguely: “Then come over first.”

She also wanted to hear what his stance really was.

After all, the taste of being distrusted was unpleasant.

Huo Tingdong returned to the police station.

The road was a bit congested; a journey that should have taken about ten minutes ended up taking more than half an hour.

When he arrived, Lin Qi had just finished her statement. She looked tired as she stepped out of the room and barely had the energy when she saw Huo Tingdong, saying, “Are you going to wait for Song Shuyan? It’s going to be a long time for her.”

Huo Tingdong said, “No need to wait, she can take a cab home.”

Lin Qi followed him out of the police station.

Once in the car, Lin Qi asked, “Speak, what did you want to talk to me about?”

Huo Tingdong intended to lay everything out one by one: “Regarding Song Shuyan, it’s not that I’m defending her, but rather…”

Lin Qi interjected: “But rather, you simply don’t believe she’s the ‘murderer’ I spoke of.”

Huo Tingdong said, “Indeed, I don’t believe it. I watched her grow up; she’s like a sister to me. She has never lied before, let alone commit such a heinous act.”

Lin Qi said curtly, “So, you think she doesn’t lie, but I do?”

Huo Tingdong: “…”

He had indeed doubted her.

After all, she had truly deceived him before.

But on reflection, she hadn’t harbored any malice when she deceived him.

Huo Tingdong explained, “Maybe I don’t understand you deeply enough.”

Lin Qi furrowed her brows, “That’s right, after all, Song Shuyan is the childhood friend who grew up with you. Naturally, you are more biased towards her compared to me.”

Huo Tingdong said, “I don’t want you to misunderstand my feelings for her; I do care about her, but only as a brother.”

Lin Qi found this particularly laughable: “You see her as a sister, but does she? She has other intentions for you. Also, you have no blood relation; do you regard her as a sister in a truly pure way? Huo Tingdong, answer me, do you have any romantic feelings for her?”

Huo Tingdong firmly said, “No.”

Lin Qi said, “I’m sorry, I don’t believe that there can exist purely platonic feelings between the opposite sexes. If I tell you that I regard Lu Li as a brother, would you believe it?”

Huo Tingdong suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Lin Qi continued, “Isn’t it about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes? If I said that, you probably wouldn’t accept it either, would you? You say you see Song Shuyan as a sister, but what about me? You said you wanted to remarry me, so don’t you have a shred of trust in me? Such a serious matter, I have no grievance nor grudge against her, why would I frame her! Initially, it was her who personally pushed me down, and this car accident, it was Han who personally identified her. You don’t believe me, can you not even believe Han? And!”

She paused, then asked, “The child in her stomach, is it really yours? How much do you know? If it is your child, would you terminate it?”

Huo Tingdong: “…”

He had asked Song Shuyan, but she had never given him a clear answer.

He didn’t want to force her, but he had his own considerations.

Lin Qi asked, “So what now? Are you waiting for her to give birth to the child? If once the child is born, and it’s yours, how do you plan to deal with the child, and with her matters? Let’s put those aside; how did she become pregnant with your child? What exactly happened between you two?”

Huo Tingdong said, “You say I don’t trust you, have you ever really trusted me?”

Lin Qi was dazed for a few seconds.

She knotted her brows, “You think this is my problem?”

Huo Tingdong said, “I didn’t mean that.”

He simply did not like being doubted by her that there was such a relation between him and Song Shuyan!

Lin Qi bowed her head and fell silent.

Huo Tingdong continued, “Firstly, in response to your question, I won’t wait until she gives birth. I will have her do an amniocentesis when she’s 5 months pregnant. If confirmed that the child is indeed mine, I will immediately have her terminate it, not allowing any possibility for the child to be born. Secondly, regarding how she got pregnant, I now suspect… after she went abroad, she might have undergone IVF without informing anyone.”

Lin Qi was stunned.

Huo Tingdong asked, “Have you forgotten how you got pregnant with Han and Momo? The way you did it is exactly how she did it.”

Lin Qi said, “I underwent IVF back then…” She stopped mid-sentence, her expression changed, “What did you just say?”

Huo Tingdong said, “I just went to the identification center, and the results have come back; Han is indeed your son. The male baby that Zheng Xuanyi took away back then, it’s him.”

Lin Qi’s face froze, momentarily losing her capacity for speech.

Huo Tingdong said, “Surprising, isn’t it? I feel the same. I had done a paternity test for you all before, and the results of the first and this one differ. So, I suspect there was an issue with the samples the first time the test was conducted.”

Lin Qi said, “I had imagined this outcome, but I didn’t expect… it really is as I had thought! Han really is the child I’ve been searching for; he’s Momo’s brother!”

Joy slowly emerged on her face.

For a few seconds, Lin Qi felt the urge to cry with happiness, tears welling up in her eyes, but she calmed herself down and, with a trembling voice, said, “Have you confirmed it? The results couldn’t be wrong, could they?”

Huo Tingdong said, “To be cautious, the person in charge asked me to bring you and Han back tomorrow for another sample confirmation.”

Hearing this, Lin Qi became a little nervous.

She feared a joyful but mistaken result.

Lin Qi asked, “How long will the recheck take?”

Huo Tingdong said, “Within two working days.”

Lin Qi said, “Huo Tingdong, I’m a bit anxious. I’m afraid the results are wrong again… I’m afraid of getting my hopes up for nothing.”

How wonderful it would be if Han had always been the child she was looking for!

If the second check came out with no issues, then how should she make it up to Han for the seven years of neglect?

She had always thought that the child had passed away, but unexpectedly, not only was the child alive and well, but also back with his father. After seven years, she and her son had the chance to be reunited!
