"No," he said without thinking, "I'm escaping from myself."

"You're lying."

If it wasn't to avoid her, he wouldn't have lied to her. She couldn't even think of a reason.

"Lil 'Qing, it's truly not because of you that I'm not coming home. I have my own difficulties that I have to face. I am unable to tell you about them right now because I'm afraid that you will collapse."

"You are not me, how do you know if I will collapse or not? I don't want to be kept in the dark about anything. "

Huo Tingshen shook his head: "It's because I don't have the courage to face you, because I don't want to lose you."

"So you have a home that you won't go back to? Huo Tingshen, don't you know that what you're saying now is very contradictory? Your words make me feel like I'm a stumbling block in this family, and you aren't willing to say it out loud ?? "

"It's not like that," Huo Tingshen's expression was full of hesitation.

He really couldn't tell her the truth.

Seeing his pained expression, Wen Qing hesitated for a long time before finally asking about her suspicions.

"Huo Tingshen, you... Could it be that you caused trouble outside and widened the stomachs of others? "

Huo Tingshen looked at her. "I didn't do anything to betray you. Don't let your thoughts run wild."

"Then what did you get ??" Sick? "

Huo Tingshen looked at her puzzled expression and asked helplessly, "If I don't tell you, will you always look for the reason?"

Wen Qing nodded, "I don't want to live without knowing the reason. I clearly said that we should face difficulties together, but seeing you in such a miserable state, I can't share any of it. Huo Tingshen, if you were me, would you be able to feel at ease?"

Huo Tingshen looked at her and finally said helplessly, "After you give birth to your baby, I will tell you, hmm?"

"Will there be any difference between then and now?"

Huo Tingshen raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek: "Yes, if you believe me, then from now on, you don't have to ask any more questions, hmm?"

Wen Qing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before finally nodding her head.

Only then did Huo Tingshen slowly step forward and hug her.

"Let's go home."

Wen Qing cast a sidelong glance. "You don't live in a hotel anymore?"

"Not anymore." No one knew how much he had missed her, living here these days.

He released her. "Let's go."

On their way home, Wen Qing received a call from Tong Hao.

Tong Hao asked worriedly, "Where did you go? I was looking for you everywhere."

"Me ??" She turned around and looked at Huo Tingshen: "I went to the supermarket."

"Damn, where are you going? Can't you report to San Ye? When San Ye asked me earlier, he was so nervous. Those who don't know, they thought you ran away."

Wen Qing curled her lips into a smile. "He's found me. He's right by my side. You can rest assured that you'll be busy with your own matters."

After hanging up, she looked at Huo Tingshen: "Why do you want to find a good one?"

"You left as soon as she called you. Who else would I look for?"

Wen Qing said in surprise, "You just returned home?"

"Otherwise."

Wen Qing frowned, "Butler Tong wouldn't know that you're not on a business trip, right?"

Huo Tingshen raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Can you stop pursuing this matter?"

Wen Qing harrumphed, "I'm an outsider, how could I possibly have the nerve to pursue this matter?"

Huo Tingshen put his arm around her shoulders and said, "You're my wife."

Wen Qing didn't say anything.

Huo Tingshen's feelings were really mixed at that moment.

He did not know if his second uncle was still alive, or if he was angry at his actions.

He didn't want to think about it either.

Because there are some things, the more I think about it ?? The more chaotic it became.

A week later, Wen Qing, who was 39 weeks + 4, went to school and checked in.

After that, Huo Tingshen took her to the hospital for labor.

He would be busy for a while when he had work to do as a matter of urgency.

If nothing else, he would chat with her in the room and teach the child a story.

He tried his best not to think about those troublesome matters as he kept on hypnotizing himself. He told himself that Wen Qing was his wife, and that the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

Wen Qing had no experience with having a child. On the night of her 40 + 2 pregnancy, she lay in bed after eating, feeling a slight pain in her stomach.

However, the degree of pain was within her tolerance.

After a few minutes, the pain struck again.

Wen Qing said to Huo Tingshen, "My stomach isn't feeling well."

Huo Tingshen sat up from the bed nervously, "It's about to give birth."

He rang the bell and soon the nurse came in.

Wen Qing told the nurse about her situation.

The nurse immediately called for a doctor to examine her, and the entrance to the palace opened.

In order to experience the true feeling of being a mother, Wen Qing chose the normal way of giving birth.

For a full 13 hours, Wen Qing was tortured by the pain to the point that she was on the verge of death.

During this period of time, she even felt some regret.

If he knew earlier, he would have obediently given birth in painless labor.

She deserved it.

At seven o'clock in the morning, they finally received their first baby, Little Hoho.

It was a baby boy that weighed seven pounds.

Wen Qing's lips curled up in a tired yet happy smile as she lay on her bed and listened to Little Huo's loud and clear crying.

Huo Tingshen raised his hand and caressed her face. He wiped her sweat and said gratefully, "It's been hard on you, Little Qing."

Wen Qing pursed her lips and smiled. Her fatigue from the night had already been swept away.

In this world, she had not only the man she loved, but also the man she was related to.

She felt that she really was the happiest person in the world.

When she returned to the ward, she was about to eat when the paramedics came and took the baby away.

Wen Qing was a little puzzled and asked Huo Tingshen: "Why did they bring Huo Huo Huo over?"

Huo Tingshen patted her hand and said, "Go and have a checkup. After every child is born, make sure to check them on a routine basis. Don't be too nervous."

When she looked at Du Niang, why didn't she remember that there was such a thing?

Seeing her worry, Huo Tingshen said: "It's okay, Butler Tong is going with us, there won't be any problems."

Wen Qing nodded.

Huo Tingshen said, "You are so delicious. After you eat and rest, last night you suffered so much. You must take good care of your body."

Wen Qing pursed her lips and smiled at him, nodding, "Okay."

He was still not back when she finished her meal.

Wen Qing was so worried that she kept looking in the direction of the door.

Huo Tingshen said, "Rest. Don't worry. You are asleep. I will go take a look."

Wen Qing nodded. She was really sleepy right now.

After less than 20 minutes, seeing that she had fallen asleep, Huo Tingshen walked out of the ward and dialed Butler Tong's number.

When the call co

ected, he asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the child alright?"
