Chapter 53 - The Child Is Innocent
Chapter 53 The Child Is Innocent
Hearing this, Liu Yan’s expression changed. She anxiously interrupted Zhuang Xinran and scolded, “What nonsense! This child is the Huo family’s grandson, so of course he must stay!”
Zhuang Xinran ‘s eyes flashed with cunning. Feng Shuo was right. As long as he had a child in his stomach, Liu Yan would definitely insist that Huo Yunqi marry her!
There was still snow on the road that hadn’t been cleared yet. Huo Yunqi’s car drove very slowly. The cabin was well heated, but the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Zhuang Xinran suddenly appeared in the Huo Clan with the pregnancy report and caught them off guard.
After returning home, Xiao Luobing put on her shoes and nest on the sofa. She casually grabbed a pillow in her hand. Her heart was in a mess. There was only one thought in her mind. Zhuang Xinran had Huo Yunqi’s child, and she had his child!
“Ice!” Huo Yunqi walked over and squatted in front of the sofa. He had never seen such a helpless Xia Luobing before, and his heart ached. “You said you would believe me!”
Xia Luobing slowly regained her senses and nodded. She placed her slightly cold hand on Huo Yunqi’s cheek and quickly removed it. She took a deep breath, trying to relieve the intense unease and anxiety in her heart.
“Yunqi, I believe you, but the child exists! He already exists!” Xia Luobing said with difficulty. She felt that this matter was more torturous than the most difficult case she had ever encountered.
Huo Yunqi grabbed Xiao Luobing’s hand and sat down beside her. The fingers that stopped her shoulder fiercely said, “It has nothing to do with me!”
“No!” Xia Luobing suddenly pushed Huo Yunqi away, turned around and went upstairs. She stopped a few steps, straightened her stiff back, and powerlessly said, “The child is innocent.”
God knows how to play tricks on her!
Huo Yunqi continued to sit on the sofa. He lit a cigarette in his hand and the sky darkened. There was no light on in the living room. Only the red flames between Huo Yunqi’s fingers flickered.
After a sleepless night, when she went downstairs in the morning, Xiao Luobing saw Huo Yunqi in the living room, “You go to sleep for a while, I’ll go to work.”
“Bing Bing, you want to leave me?” Huo Yunqi suddenly looked into Xiao Luobing’s eyes, his voice filled with anger, unwillingness, and resentment, “You want to leave me for an inexplicable child!”
Xia Luobing panicked and didn’t dare to look into Huo Yunqi’s eyes. She thought about what she wanted to say, but after thinking about it all night, she still felt that the child was innocent.
Fighting against a child who didn’t have any ability to resist Huo Yunqi, Xia Luobing couldn’t get past her, so she lost to him!
“I’ll go to work first!” Xia Luobing dodged Huo Yunqi’s eyes and ran out of the villa as if she had escaped. She drove the car a long way before she noticed that her eyes were already wet.
How could this be?
Xia Luobing gripped the steering wheel fiercely. Only when a sharp pain came from her palm did she regain a bit of her rationality.
After turning the steering wheel, Xiao Luobing directly drove towards the intoxicated apartment. Her heart was suffocating, like a big rock pressing down on her chest, making people unable to breathe.
Intoxicated, she patiently listened to Xia Luobing’s story and exploded on the spot. She jumped up and scolded Xia Luobing fiercely.
“Xia Luobing, do you think you’re being stupid as a policeman? Huo Yunqi is your husband. Even if you have to take responsibility, you should still be responsible to you, right?” Intoxicated, he smashed the cup onto the table. The water in the cup was frightened and splashed onto the table, leaving a water stain.
“Zhuang Xinran already has a child. What can I do?”
When dealing with all kinds of cases, she could use all sorts of methods to make criminals confess their guilt, but when faced with a child who had no ability to retaliate, she really did not know where to start!
“Oh, I bought cakes!” Intoxicated, he stroked his forehead with one hand and put the other behind his back. He kept spinning back and forth, glaring fiercely at Xia Luobing . “How come I never knew you were such a Holy Mother? You have to find out whose belly that child is in!”
Xia Luobing had a dark face and didn’t say anything. Facing the intoxicated bombardment, she rarely refuted. She felt that what she said was right, but she just couldn’t get past this obstacle in her heart!
“Ice!” Seeing that Xia Luobing was silent, Zui Zui changed from jumping up and down just now. He looked at Officer Xia and said earnestly, “Humans, sometimes you can’t be too kind. You need to know how the child in Zhuang Xinran ‘s stomach came about.”
Previously, she knew that Huo Yunqi and Zhuang Xinran were asleep together. Seeing Xia Luobing’s despondent appearance, she wished she could carry a knife to cut down the two of them. Now that she knew that Huo Yunqi had also been schemed, intoxicated, of course, automatically took his side.
Moreover, she felt that Huo Yunqi was doing the right thing, so she shouldn’t have paid attention to Zhuang Xinran at all!
Xiao Luobing nodded. “I know.”
“Do you know what else you’re worried about?” Intoxicated, he sat down opposite Xiao Luobing and rolled his eyes at her. “The child’s mother treated him as a bargaining chip to marry into the Huo Clan. Do you need to be a good person here? Are you crazy?!”
Having been taught such a lesson by Tao Zui , Xia Luobing felt much more at ease in her heart. However, she still couldn’t completely ignore this matter, and her brows were still tightly furrowed.
“Also, let me tell you, you’d better not quarrel with Huo Yunqi over this inexplicable child!” Intoxicated, he stared at Xia Luobing and warned her seriously, “Otherwise, wouldn’t it be just right for Zhuang Xinran , that bad woman’s thoughts?”
Xia Luobing lowered her head guiltily and didn’t dare to look intoxicated. She said sullenly, “I can’t pretend that nothing happened, right?”
“You, you” Intoxicated, she pointed at Xiao Luobing and knocked on the woman’s forehead. “Officer Xia, you can’t even protect your own home, and you’re still counting on you to defend the people? If someone makes a small stumble, you’ll have to separate from Huo Yunqi. Isn’t this because relatives are hurting their enemies?”
“I…” Xia Luobing was about to refute when she realized that she had nothing to say. She could only lower her head guiltily, as if she was intoxicated by what she said.
“Alright, alright, stop staying with me. Hurry home and find Huo Yunqi!” Intoxicated, he glared at Xia Luobing with a look of disgust. At the same time, he warned, “Let me tell you, the last time you didn’t believe that he ran to Yunnan and made a video with Feng Shuo , Huo Yunqi was already very angry. This time, if you continue like this, he will be sad.”
He’ll be sad.
The five words seemed to be an inch long nail that pierced into Xia Luobing’s heart. The pain, guilt, and frustration were like a huge tide that smashed towards him. He couldn’t help but shiver, and he instantly regained his senses.
“I’ll go back first!” Xiao Luobing stood up, grabbed the key on the table and hurriedly left.
The primordial chaos in her mind instantly became clear because of her intoxicated words. She couldn’t punish the people she cared about because of other people’s mistakes!
How stupid!
It was noon when Xiao Luobing hurriedly returned home. It was time for lunch. She saw Huo Yunqi’s Maybach coldly parked in the garage. She knew that he hadn’t gone out at home, so she unconsciously quickened her pace.
“Huo Yunqi!” Xia Luobing pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the two people in the living room, he frown. Why are they here?
Liu Yan and Zhuang Xinran sat on the sofa in the living room, while Huo Yunqi sat opposite with a cold face. For a moment, Xia Luobing felt as if she had suddenly intruded into someone else’s world.
It was as if Zhuang Xinran was Huo Yunqi’s wife, and she was a woman raised outside!
Xia Luobing frowned tightly. Facing Liu Yan and Zhuang Xinran ‘s provocative gaze, she had the thought of turning around. However, just as she moved her feet, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Huo Yunqi’s cold gaze. She was immediately shocked and could not move at all.
What kind of gaze was that, hatred? Angry? Disappointed? Or the pain of all the emotions mixed together?
Intoxicated words suddenly flashed into her mind. Xiao Luobing let go of her fingers and walked straight to Huo Yunqi. She put her hand on his shoulder and looked at Zhuang Xinran without saying a word. This fox spirit wants to play, right? Could it be that I, Xia Luobing , am afraid?
Huo Yunqi was very satisfied with Xia Luobing’s actions. She forcefully pulled the woman to her side and sat down. She clenched her hand and frowned, “Is it so cold?”
“How can it be so cold from the garage to the room?” Xia Luobing smiled, completely ignoring Liu Yan and Zhuang Xinran ‘s eyes that wanted to devour her alive.
She would be fine even if her gaze was fierce. The C City Criminal Police Captain was not made of mud, let alone rubbed by others.
Zhuang Xinran finally lost her composure. She carefully pulled at Liu Yan’s sleeve and whispered, “Auntie, let’s go. Don’t make things difficult for Yunqi!”
Her words were gentle, but the hatred in her eyes fell into Xiao Luobing’s eyes. She now felt that what she said was so right. This woman could use her own child as a bargaining chip. Why did she back down?
If you want to steal someone from her, it depends on whether she agrees or not!
“Yunqi, Xin Ran’s belly is your child!” Liu Yan stared at the two people in front of her angrily and gritted her teeth. “It’s our Huo Clan’s grandson!”
Yunqi shook Xia Luobing’s hand and said coldly, “Since everyone knows where this child came from, is there a need to say this?”
“You” Liu Yan was momentarily stupefied and her face turned ashen. She was speechless for a long time. In the end, she angrily pulled Zhuang Xinran to her feet and ruthlessly said, “Xia Luobing, I definitely won’t allow you to marry into the Huo Clan!”
The two of them left angrily. Huo Yunqi let go of Xiao Luobing’s hand and turned upstairs.
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment, then angrily chased after him and grabbed the man’s arm, with an embarrassed expression, “What happened to you?”
Just now, they had fought against the enemy together, so why did they turn against each other now?
Alright, even if her previous thoughts weren’t right, things had happened so suddenly, so she had to give her a buffer, right?
Besides, didn’t she immediately rush back after hearing the intoxicating words?
” Xia Luobing !” Huo Yunqi bit out three words with anger, “It’s best not to have another time!”
It was clearly not his fault, but this woman always pushed him to Zhuang Xinran ‘s side time and time again. She really wasn’t worried that she would leave!
“Definitely!” Xia Luobing quickly patted his chest and promised. Seeing that the man’s expression had eased a little, he let out a long breath and dragged Yunqi’s arm back onto the sofa. He reached out and pinched the man’s face. “If you were uglier and poorer, there wouldn’t be so much trouble!”
