The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 116 - : Mommy is Going to be Taken Away

Chapter 116 -116: Mommy is Going to be Taken Away

Momo was jealous.

Han was jealous too.

Both little buns had their cheeks puffed out, one more than the other; as both still had their baby fat, their chubby cheeks became even puffier when they pouted, making them look like grumpy little pufferfish.

All of a sudden, Momo bent his legs and forcefully bumped into Han’s behind. Han, caught off balance, unconsciously crashed into Lu Li.

With quick reflexes, Lu Li caught him steadily, but was consequently forced to separate from Lin Qi.

The scowl on Momo’s forehead finally eased, seeing that the man finally let go of Mommy’s hand, he felt much better.

Han was completely unaware that he had been cunningly used by the scheming Momo, nearly losing his balance and falling to the ground.

If Lu Li hadn’t caught him…

Han looked up, gazing at Lu Li with eager eyes, seizing the chance to curiously size up the man before him.

Not as handsome as Daddy.

Seems not as tall as Daddy either.

His demeanor is somewhat gloomy and sullen.

But observing how Aunt Qiqi reacts to him… It appears that the two of them are close friends.

Lin Qi said, “Han, why weren’t you more careful?” She hadn’t been paying attention and thought Han tripped over something.

With his arms crossed, Momo chimed in with Lin Qi, scolding, “Silly Han, can’t even walk without falling.”

Han shot a look of grievance at Momo, clearly remembering that Momo had nudged his little behind with a leg. Was he betrayed by Momo?

Lu Li sized up Han, and after steadying him, he asked, “This child is…?”

Lin Qi smiled, “His name is Han, a good friend of Momo.”

Momo…

He is Momo.

Originally, when Momo’s file was being created, it was Lu Li who filled in the details. The father’s column still had his name to this day.

Naturally, the name made a deep impression on him.

Initially, Lin Qi was pregnant with twins, but one of them did not survive, leaving only Momo.

After Momo was born, he faced a tough fate, frail and often ill, none of which Lu Li was aware.

Lin Qi was seven months pregnant when she went abroad to study, and he lost contact with her for a long time. After returning to the country, Lin Qi had suddenly disappeared, and despite his efforts to find her whereabouts, he came up with nothing.

“Momo is quite adorable,” Lu Li genuinely complimented, “He resembles you a lot.” He gazed at Momo’s face, occasionally drifting into a reverie.

If only this child were his and Lin Qi’s… that would be wonderful.

Lin Qi’s cheeks reddened as she replied with a smile, “Sons usually resemble their mothers.”

Lu Li gently released his hand and looked at Lin Qi, inquiring, “How have you been all these years?” He hadn’t heard from her at all.

Lin Qi responded, “Everything is fine.” She narrated calmly, as if talking about someone else’s life.

Indeed, whether these years had been good or not, only she knew, like one who drinks water knows whether it is cold or warm.

She didn’t wish to share too many hardships with outsiders; a simple “Everything is fine” sums it all up.

Momo squinted his eyebrows, looked at Lu Li, then at Lin Qi, and finally spoke up, “Mommy, who is he?”

Lin Qi turned to Momo, introducing with a hint of embarrassment, “Momo, I haven’t introduced him yet, this is Uncle Lu.”

Momo blinked sensitively, “Lu-Li?”

Lu Li, somewhat surprised, said, “How do you know my name?”

Momo pursed his lips, not answering him; after all, he didn’t like this man much, especially considering how affectionately he had been hugging his Mommy, he couldn’t help but feel that this man was trying to take his Mommy away, a suspicion and wariness towards him!

Lu Li read the distance and caution in Momo’s eyes and commented to Lin Qi, “This child is very smart.”

He could instantly feel that Momo’s eyes held a wisdom and maturity far beyond his peers.

Lin Qi didn’t know how to respond.

Suddenly, she felt somewhat awkward; although she and Lu Li never ran out of things to say, there was never such an awkward silence before. Maybe because it had been too long, she had almost forgotten…

Forgotten how much she once admired him.

Han returned to Momo’s side and whispered, “Like friends.” He felt that this man must be an old friend of Mommy’s that she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Momo slapped him on the back of his head, “What do you know?”

Friends?

Momo squinted his eyes and muttered, “Can friends hug each other so closely and stick together?”

Feeling aggrieved, Han rubbed his head and said, “But… we… also hug…” He liked hugging Momo very much.

He and Momo are good friends.

Momo glared at him with a ‘why-don’t-you-get-it’ look, realizing that aside from friends and family, Han was completely clueless about male-female relationships.

Whatever.

The kid was only seven, what did he expect him to know about love.

Han didn’t understand, but Momo did.

He didn’t watch prime-time soap operas for nothing, he could tell Lu Li had feelings for Mommy.

He clearly saw in Lu Li’s eyes the tenderness and indulgence that one only shows when they like a woman.

While Han was confused, he heard Momo sigh, “What to do if Mommy is stolen away.”

Han’s ears twitched, and his eyes widened again like copper bells.

Aunt Qiqi is going to be stolen away?

By whom?

By this man?

Han suddenly looked sharply at Lu Li, and in his eyes, there was a mysterious yet childish hostility.

Lin Qi didn’t notice the shifting expressions of the two little guys; she looked around the hospital room and said to Lu Li, “Do you… want to come inside the room and sit for a bit?” It feels strange always standing in the doorway.

Lu Li replied, “No need, I have work to attend to later.” He looked at his watch and said to Lin Qi, “I’ll come see you tomorrow.”

Lin Qi nodded.

Lu Li looked down at her and suddenly said softly, “Lin Qi, stop avoiding me.” As he spoke, he lifted his hand as if to touch her soft hair like he used to, but midway he felt a piercing gaze.

Lu Li caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and noticed Momo’s cold stare filled with intense scrutiny; he chuckled wryly, withdrew his hand, “I’ll be leaving now.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qi politely said, “Goodbye, Mr. Lu.”

“Mr. Lu”…

Lu Li’s complexion paused, but he didn’t dwell on it, nodded in acknowledgment, and left.

Momo immediately stepped forward to help Lin Qi towards the hospital room, but Han remained on guard, crouching by the door like a little sentinel, until he watched Lu Li walk away before entering the room.

The caretaker said to the side, “Miss Lin, it turns out you and the Young Director knew each other before.”

“Yes, he was my senior.”

The caretaker added, trying to probe for more information, “The Young Director is really handsome.”

Lin Qi kept her tone unenthusiastic, “Yes, he was quite popular during our university days.” She didn’t elaborate on anything else.

And so, the caretaker did not press further.

While Momo was peeling an apple, he pricked up his ears to listen; seeing Lin Qi deliberately avoiding the topic, his suspicion grew stronger.
