Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Want to Kidnap Mommy
“Alright!” Momo finally realized, “Are you trying to set up my Mommy with your Daddy? Are you trying to abduct my Mommy to become your stepmother?”
Han stood with his arms akimbo, not feeling guilty at all.
Momo narrowed his eyes, “I think you’ve been plotting this for a long time, conspiring together to abduct my Mommy.”
Han chuckled, poking his cute finger.
“No way!” Momo declared, “I can’t let you have my Mommy!”
He got up and was about to pounce towards Huo Tingdong.
But Han grabbed him in a swift motion.
The two Little Babys tumbled onto the couch, grappling with each other.
Somehow, Han found the strength to flip over and pin Momo firmly underneath him.
Momo said angrily, “Han, let go.”
Han lay on top of him like a clingy bear, shamelessly sprawled out, looking like he was asking for a beating.
He wouldn’t allow Momo to interrupt Daddy and Aunt Qiqi’s dance!
Momo squinted, “Are you going or not?”
Again, Han shook his head.
Annoyed, Momo grabbed his arm and bit down on it.
But even though he was angry and put on a tough front, he was soft-hearted and didn’t really want to bite hard, Han saw that it wasn’t strong, hugged his neck, and planted a kiss on his face with a “smack.”
Immediately, Momo’s face flushed red, and he pinched Han’s cheeks, pulling them aside.
“Ow ow ow…” Han’s mouth was stretched wide, but he didn’t show weakness and reached out to pull at Momo’s cheeks.
Finally, Lin Qi heard the commotion of the two little guys, turned her head, and saw their entangled silhouettes on the couch. Thinking they were fighting, she immediately came over, “Han, Momo?”
Huo Tingdong also came over and asked, “What are you two doing?”
Momo pushed Han away, sat up from the couch, jumped off, grabbed Lin Qi’s hand, and said to her, “Mommy, let’s go back to the room!”
Lin Qi was confused as she was dragged into the room by Momo.
Momo closed the door behind them and said to Lin Qi, “Hmph, I see through Han’s thieving heart now.”
Lin Qi was dumbfounded, “What thieving heart?”
Momo stated indignantly, “He wants to abduct you to become his stepmom!”
Lin Qi laughed, “Kids will be kids.”
Momo insisted, “He’s serious!”
Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, “Maybe, since he never had a Mommy from a young age, he wants one.”
Momo declared, “He can want a Mommy, but he can’t abduct you; you are my Mommy.”
Lin Qi chuckled, “Momo is jealous!”
Momo’s face turned red, but he maintained confidently, “Mommy is mine alone!”
Huo Tingdong furrowed his brows, looking at Han still rolling on the couch.
The man stared at him for half a minute. Han struggled to flip over, sat upright, and lifted his face to see that only Huo Tingdong was standing in the living room. He looked around, searching for Lin Qi.
Huo Tingdong said, “She went back to her room.”
Upon hearing this, Han crossed his arms and huffed with realization, “Hmph!” It must have been Momo who dragged her back to the room!
He was sabotaging Daddy’s good plans.
Han glared at Huo Tingdong reluctantly, his eyes filled with disdain as if blaming him for his lack of prowess.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Han, what exactly are you thinking?”
He always felt that the little guy had ulterior motives.
He squatted down and asked, “What do you want?”
Han gave it a serious thought and said, “I want Aunt Qiqi…”
“Huh?” Huo Tingdong was momentarily puzzled.
“…to be my Mommy!” Han panted, adding, “I want Daddy… to commit to her.”
Huo Tingdong’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: “…” Is that how you use this idiom?
He, to commit to her?
Han blinked rapidly, “I want… her… to be my Mommy!” Han has never been a talkative child; rare for him to speak, his words were not coherent, but his meaning was crystal clear.
He wanted Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi to be together.
Huo Tingdong stated, “Don’t make unreasonable demands.”
Han pursed his lips, his smile fading to reveal a look of loss.
But Huo Tingdong was unyielding.
He always spoiled Han, willing to go to any lengths to get the stars from the sky for him if asked.
But certain things were non-negotiable.
After a moment of thought, Han suddenly said earnestly, “Then when I grow up, I’ll… marry Aunt Qiqi…”
Without a second thought, Huo Tingdong immediately vetoed the idea, “No way!”
“Whimper…” Han lowered his head in grievance, “Then you marry…”
Huo Tingdong frowned, “No.”
Han fiddled with his fingers, “Then I’ll marry…”
Huo Tingdong’s patience was fraying, “I told you, no!”
Suddenly, the nanny came over with a phone, telling Mr. Huo, “Mr. Huo, you have several missed calls on your phone.”
She saw the phone vibrating when she was tidying up the study.
Taking his phone, Huo Tingdong saw that some calls were from Song Shuyan, others from Mo Ke.
He called back Mo Ke, who quickly said, “Mr. Huo, the Fang Family brought a dozen people to the company, all waiting there.”
“What are they doing at my company?” asked Huo Tingdong.
Mo Ke replied, “I asked, but they refused to say; they insist on seeing you.”
“Let them wait,” said Huo Tingdong.
Hanging up, Huo Tingdong then dialed Song Shuyan’s number.
The call connected quickly.
Her voice came from the other end, “Tingdong?”
At the sound of Song Shuyan’s voice, Han immediately got up and returned to his room with a gloomy face.
Huo Tingdong sat down on the couch and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I heard Han had an incident, why didn’t you mention it to me?” said Song Shuyan, “I care about Han too, you should have told me.”
“The youngest son of the Fang Family pushed Han into the water, but Han is fine. I didn’t even bring it up to Grandma,” said Huo Tingdong.
Song Shuyan was concerned, “Tingdong, does Han dislike me, hate me?” she asked worriedly, “Is there something I’m not doing right?”
“No, you’re doing nothing wrong,” Huo Tingdong assured her.
Tentatively, Song Shuyan asked, “Are Lin Qi and that child living with you?”
“Yes,” confirmed Huo Tingdong, not evading the question.
Song Shuyan suddenly fell silent for a long time, her breath uneven.
Nervously, she said, “Tingdong, you shouldn’t keep that woman around Han. Her intentions towards you are blatantly obvious. Initially, her willingness to marry you was for your inheritance; she was certain you wouldn’t wake up, and if something happened to you, she could inherit your estate. I’ve found out about the child’s father, a man surnamed Lu, with some family background.”
