Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t look into this matter further, it’s not important. What’s important is, once we remarry, you will be Han’s mother.”
Lin Qi saw that Huo Tingdong’s expression was a bit strange, but she didn’t ask more.
She always felt that he was avoiding this topic, seemingly very reluctant to delve into Han’s origins.
But this wasn’t his attitude before.
He had been very eager to find out about Han’s background, and now, his sudden dismissal with a light “it’s not important,” inevitably made one feel his change in attitude was somewhat abrupt.
But since he didn’t want to look into Han’s origins, then, she had even less right to inquire.
Lin Qi said, “Regardless, I want to take Lili to see a psychologist. You must know some good ones, right?”
She remembered that Huo Tingdong had previously found a psychologist for Han, so he must be able to hire very professional ones.
Huo Tingdong said, “I will make an appointment for you tomorrow and call you then.”
“Okay.”
Lin Qi walked out of the study. Huo Tingdong glanced at the note in his hand, frowned slightly, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
The next day.
Lin Qi got up early, after Huo Tingdong had breakfast, he made an appointment for her with the psychologist, then hurried off to his company.
It was apparent that he was very busy, always leaving early and returning late.
After Lin Qi and the three children had breakfast, they prepared to go out.
The psychologist appointment Huo Tingdong set up was at 2 PM, so she planned to take Lili to buy some clothes in the morning, and perhaps buy a few for Han and Momo as well.
Momo, however, didn’t want to go shopping; he wanted to stay at home because the stock market was unstable recently, and he needed to keep an eye on it.
Lin Qi saw Momo acting secretive and was a bit worried about leaving him alone at home, but Momo said, “Mommy, don’t worry, I will behave myself alone at home.”
“Okay.”
Lin Qi was then reassured.
After all, Momo had grown accustomed to staying at home alone.
After instructing Momo a few more times, she left holding Han’s and Lili’s hands.

Lin Qi bought Lili several new outfits, including soft pink princess dresses and elegant young lady attire. Lili was very beautiful, with a radiant delicate face; apart from being a bit thin, she looked perfect in anything, just like a little mannequin.
It was the first time Lili wore such nice clothes, so she felt like she was dreaming.
She was really well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing. Whatever clothes Lin Qi chose for her to try on, she would take them inside the dressing room herself, change, then come out to show Lin Qi.
Her compliance made Lin Qi inevitably suspect that Lili had been bullied a lot in the orphanage, acting so well just to win her favor, for fear that Lin Qi might send her back to the orphanage.
Sometimes Lin Qi thought, if only Lili was her biological daughter.
She wasn’t biased towards sons or daughters; she simply longed for a daughter she could dress up like a little princess, which would bring a special sense of achievement.
She sometimes felt envious of some internet celebrities who styled their daughters’ hair every day.
If only she could adopt Lili.
She didn’t care about whether Lili was blood-related to her or not, but because Lili was so well-behaved it was heartbreaking and adorable. Or perhaps, in Lili, she saw her own childhood reflection, herself also having been helpless and lonely amidst cold stares, maybe the misfortune of her childhood projected onto Lili, making her want to compensate for the lack of fatherly and motherly love in her own childhood through Lili.
But Huo Tingdong promised her that they would find a good adoptive family for Lili later.
While Lin Qi indeed felt pity, she thought that finding a well-conditioned family for Lili would be best for her.
After shopping, Lili, dressed in a beautiful princess dress, went with Lin Qi and Han to a Western restaurant for dinner.
Upon arriving at the Western restaurant, Lin Qi ordered a steak for Lili, as well as a pasta dish and a dessert.
Western meals aren’t very large, and she noticed that Lili actually had a big appetite, capable of eating a lot, especially being so slim, she should eat more.
When the steak was served, Lili stared at it helplessly, seemingly unsure how to begin.
Clearly, this well-done steak seemed like a big challenge to her; she had neither eaten nor seen one before.
Knowing that she hadn’t had steak before, Lin Qi took the initiative to cut the steak for Lili and demonstrated using the fork.
Lili quickly learned and started to devour the steak.
Meanwhile, just as Han had finished tying his napkin, Lili had already finished more than half of her steak.
He was a bit astonished: “Lili, you can really eat.”
When Lili heard this, being a little girl with thin skin, her face turned slightly red from Han’s comment.
Lin Qi smiled and said, “Having a good appetite is a blessing, aren’t you a little foodie too, Han?”
Han replied, “But the steak here isn’t even half as good as the ones Momo makes.”
He stared at the greasy steak, feeling somewhat less appetized, ever since he started eating meals made by Momo, his taste had become pickier.
Lin Qi said, “Han, even if you don’t feel like it, you should eat something, otherwise, you’ll be hungry.”
Han obediently began to cut the steak.
Lili observed his actions and imitated him.
She was very smart and quickly learned how to use a knife and fork.
Lin Qi looked at Lili and asked, “Lili, would you like to see a doctor this afternoon?”
Lili responded, “Lili is not sick.”
Lin Qi said, “Let’s see a doctor for a check-up, you just need to cooperate nicely during the examination.”
Lili asked, “Will the doctor give Lili an injection?”
Lin Qi shook her head, “No, the doctor is very gentle, she won’t give Lili any injections.”
Lili, hearing this, finally relaxed.
2 PM.
Lin Qi arrived on time at the psychological clinic with Lili and Han.
Doctor Han Haiying, a renowned expert in children’s psychological issues.
It turned out, she was Han’s psychologist.
Despite being a famous therapist and holding a doctorate in child psychology, over the years, she had always been perplexed and at a loss regarding Han.
Now, seeing Han having become more open and willing to speak than before, Doctor Han was a bit surprised.
However, Han didn’t like Doctor Han that much; although she was gentle and patient with his issues, he was quite resistant, simply because he disliked the dull and tedious psychological treatments.
In the clinic.
Doctor Han Haiying warmly welcomed Lin Qi. Lin Qi took Lili’s hand and told the doctor, “Doctor Han, her name is Lili.”
She did not explicitly mention Lili’s issues to Han Haiying; although she wasn’t a psychologist, she knew better than to discuss a child’s “psychological problems” in front of them, as it could easily lead the child to develop a mistaken perception of themselves.
