Chapter 74 Warm
Huo Yunqi held Xia Luobing’s colder and colder hands, feeling extremely distressed. He helped her stand up and coldly said to Liu Yan and Huo Zhengxiong , “Let’s go upstairs first!”
“You, you” Liu Yan’s fingers trembled with anger. She couldn’t even say anything she wanted to say. She could only stop Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing with hatred and shout, “Yun Qi, why are you so foolish? Don’t you really want a child of your own?”
If Huo Yunqi didn’t have children, wouldn’t the Huo Corporation end up in Feng Shuo ‘s hands?
Thinking of this, Liu Yan became even more determined to stop Xia Luobing and said reluctantly, “Back then, I promised you that I would get married. Now you must resign and take care of your body and have a child at home!”
“Mom!” Huo Yunqi’s expression became uglier and uglier. He could feel the chill coming from Xia Luobing’s body.
Xia Luobing pushed Huo Yunqi away and straightened his back, his eyes calm, “I will not resign!”
“What kind of tone is that!” Liu Yan stared at Xia Luobing and said, “You’re just a stupid policeman. Our Huo Clan can’t afford to support you? Do you need to go out to work every day to earn money?”
Xia Luobing’s head buzzed and he didn’t want to argue with Liu Yan. He said indifferently, “If Mom thinks that I’m not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family, then let Huo Yunqi replace me!”
After saying that, Xia Luobing went upstairs directly. This kind of life made her feel suffocated and depressed. Her limbs and bones were rolling with anger. Liu Yan’s words were more like needles piercing into her heart. The fine pain made it difficult for people to breathe.
“Pata!”
Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Xiao Luobing restrained her emotions and calmly turned to look at the man at the door. Her eyes met. She saw anger and other complicated emotions in his eyes.
Could it be that he also wanted her to resign and have children at home?
“I can’t resign!” Xia Luobing spoke first. She clenched her fingers tightly, but tried to keep her voice calm. “I might not have a child anymore. If you’re in a hurry, go …”
Xia Luobing felt pain in her heart. It turned out that hearing others say it was a completely different feeling from what she said. The latter was even more painful because she tore open the scar in her heart with her own hands.
” Xia Luobing !” Huo Yunqi roared and walked over to the woman, grabbing her wrist and bringing her to her chest. Anger rolled in her eyes, “Are you so eager to divorce me?”
He didn’t ask her to resign nor did he say that she had to have a child, but the woman in front of him still repeatedly proposed to separate. Could it be that she really couldn’t wait to leave?
” Xia Luobing , let me tell you, I will definitely not let you leave!” Huo Yunqi’s eyes flashed with determination. Seeing Xia Luobing’s heart skip a beat, her mind went blank.
“Huo Yunqi, don’t go too far!” Xia Luobing also got angry and shook off Huo Yunqi’s hand, “Your mother wants a child! I can’t have a child anymore!”
Just as she said that, tears fell down unprepared. Xia Luobing turned her head and didn’t want Huo Yunqi to see her sorry state. She felt wronged, mixed with pain, and rushed into her heart.
Huo Yunqi stared at Xiao Luobing’s shaking shoulders. Her eyes were deeper than the night. The room was so quiet that he could hear her tears.
After a long time, Xia Luobing took a deep breath and entered the bathroom. He closed the door and saw that his eyes were red and swollen in the mirror. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. How did he end up like this?
Half a year ago, she was still the high-spirited captain of the Criminal Police Force. Her daily life was to catch bad people and make things easier. But what about now?
It was as if her life had turned into a mess ever since she signed the contract.
Standing on the balcony, Huo Yunqi’s hands on the railing trembled slightly. After searching for a long time, he found the cigarette. After lighting it, he looked at the vast night sky with a serious expression.
She was very sad, he was very distressed, but even so, he was still unwilling to let her go!
The room was frighteningly quiet. Huo Yunqi fell into a deep silence. It wasn’t until his fingertips felt burning that he suddenly woke up. He just happened to hear the sound of the bathroom door being opened. He turned around and saw Xia Luobing changing into her pajamas with a calm expression.
Huo Yunqi snapped the cigarette in his hand, pressed it into the ashtray, and entered the bathroom. Not long after, the sound of bathing rang out. Xiao Luobing lifted the corner of the quilt and lay on her side. Her mind was in a state of chaos and exhaustion.
Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, Xia Luobing subconsciously closed her eyes. This room was like a cage, trapping her.
Huo Yunqi frowned as he looked at the woman who was breathing unevenly. He went to bed and carried her into his arms with the quilt. He had a lot of strength, as if he was afraid of losing her.
“What are you doing?” Xia Luobing opened her eyes and looked at Huo Yunqi with a guarded expression.
Ever since they got married, although the two of them had been lying in the same bed, they had never made any intimate movements. Now that they were hugging each other so close, Xia Luobing’s nervous breathing was in disorder.
“Give me a hug!” Huo Yunxi ‘s voice was deep as she placed her chin on top of the woman’s head. “Ice, don’t move. Let me hug you for a while!”
Xia Luobing’s body stiffened, and after a while, she said dully, “It’s very late. Rest!”
His embrace was broad and warm, with a clean and pleasant smell. It was easy for people to indulge in it. Xiao Luobing tried hard to break free, but the man hugged her even tighter.
“Bing Bing, you always resist me like this!” Yunqi Huo’s voice was hoa.r.s.e and painful. His fingers were fastened to the woman’s waist through the quilt and he muttered, “I’m sorry to lose that child.”
More than once, he thought, if he hadn’t gone to Southeast Asia, if he had been by her side, would their child be born soon?
But there was no ifs in this world.
“Yunqi Huo, the reason we started is because of that agreement.” Xia Luobing said with difficulty, “The past is over. Don’t mention it again in the future!”
The lost child was destined to be an eternal pain in her heart, untouchable.
There was less than half a year left. She only hoped that she could pa.s.s peacefully. She hoped that after everything was over, she could return to her original life.
“Ice!” Huo Yunqi tried her best to suppress the urge to rub her into her flesh and blood. She took a deep breath and lay down with her arms around Xiao Luobing’s struggling arm. She said in a deep voice, “I’m not doing anything, I just want to hug you to sleep!”
Xia Luobing’s heart skipped a beat. Her nose was sour, and an urge to cry surged into her eyes. She lifted her arms and relaxed. Huo Yunqi hugged her, her back against his lower abdomen. The warmth spread to her limbs and bones, and her whole body became warm and comfortable.
“Bing Bing, don’t mention separating.” Huo Yunqi’s voice descended from above his head, carrying a depressing emotion. “Even if it’s only six months, don’t mention separating for now!”
Xia Luobing’s heart ached. She bit her lips tightly. She suddenly wanted to turn around and pounce into his arms and cry. But in the end, she held back her tears and fell silently.
The night was dark. Xiao Luobing’s body gradually relaxed. Her eyelids became darker and darker. In the end, she fell asleep in a daze. She unexpectedly slept unexpectedly peacefully. When she woke up in the morning, Huo Yunqi had already packed up her things and brought her breakfast on the table.
“Good morning.” Recalling that the two of them hugged each other and slept last night, Xiao Luobing was a little embarra.s.sed. She got out of bed and put on her slippers to wash up.
Huo Yunqi raised his eyebrows. After last night, he had already understood that Xia Luobing was a hedgehog hiding in her sh.e.l.l. She looked tough and piercing, but she was actually soft and fragile. Therefore, he wanted to get along with her in another way.
After washing up, Xia Luobing changed into a simple and capable set of clothes. Yunqi was sitting on the sofa waiting for her to have breakfast. “After dinner, I’ll take you to work!”
Xia Luobing raised her head and was about to ask why, when she suddenly remembered that her car hadn’t returned from work yesterday, so she nodded and said, “Alright!”
In the morning, it was millet porridge accompanied by steamed dumplings, which made people’s appet.i.te boom. Xiao Luobing ate the ice satisfactorily, and her mood was much better.
“The dumplings are delicious!” Xia Luobing said sincerely.
Huo Yunqi stared at Xiao Luobing. When the woman was confused, she suddenly reached out her finger to wipe away the dumpling pie on her face. There was a mocking smile in her eyes, “Ice Ice, you ate too much!”
“You” Xia Luobing glared at Huo Yunqi awkwardly and wiped her face carefully with the napkin on the table. Then, she let out a long sigh of relief and said to Huo Yunqi after thinking for a while, “I might be late tonight.”
Huo Yunqi frowned, “What’s the matter?”
Xia Luobing patiently explained, “Yesterday, I heard the director say that there is a big case that requires the cooperation of our criminal police. If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay behind after work to discuss this matter.”
Since the two of them still needed to spend half a year together, they couldn’t always be at loggerheads. They had to work hard to get along peacefully so that the time didn’t seem to be that long.
Huo Yunqi nodded, “I see.”
When she went out, Xia Luobing didn’t see Liu Yan and Huo Zhengxiong , so she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although she was the captain of the Criminal Police Force and was good at dealing with bad people, quarreling with other people was not good. Especially since the other party was Huo Yunqi’s mother, things were even more troublesome. It was best not to meet her now!
Seeing the worry in Xia Luobing’s eyes, Huo Yunqi frowned and said, “This kind of day won’t be long!”
Xiao Luobing nodded. “I know.”
Half a year later, it would be good for everyone to return to the Bridge Road.
Probably because she left early, there was no traffic jam on the road. She arrived at the entrance of the public security bureau at 7:30. At this time, there was still half an hour before Xiao Luobing went to work.
“I’m leaving!” Xia Luobing turned around and took his bag. Huo Yunqi pressed down on his wrist and raised his hand to face the man’s deep gaze. He suddenly panicked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm. “What’s wrong?”
Yunqi let go of Xia Luobing’s hand and smiled, “Nothing, you go to work!”
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment before finally nodding, “Alright!”
Watching Xia Luobing walk into the public security compound, Huo Yunqi slowly turned around and left. Bing Bing, we will be together for a long time.
For almost a whole day, Xia Luobing was out of shape until Director Gao called out, “Luo Bing, are you uncomfortable? Your complexion is so bad?”
“Ah?” Xia Luobing came back to her senses in time and quickly shook her head, “No! Chief, say it!”
“They are tracking an international drug trafficking gang. According to our informants, they will do business in C City in the near future. Our mission is to get stolen goods!” Director Gao looked at Xia Luobing with a serious expression, “Luo Bing, do you have the confidence to complete this mission by handing over this case to your Criminal Police Unit?”
Xia Luobing nodded, her eyes resolute, “I promise to complete the mission!”
During this period of time, he had always been entangled in a mess of things. Now, it was good that he could devote himself to such a big case and divert his energy!
“Alright! I believe you!” Director Gao looked at his beloved general and was very satisfied. He continued, “In order to ensure the smooth completion of this mission, you have also sent an expert to a.s.sist you in completing this mission!”
Xia Luobing nodded, but at the same time, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, “Who is it?”
