Chapter 100 - It's Actually Like This

nHuo Yunqi frowned. Especially when he thought of Ji Wei, a wave of irritation surged in his heart. He had never had time to tell Xia Luobing about that matter. He didn’t know if she could believe his explanation after she knew about it.
nThe relationship between the two of them had finally been repaired to its current state. He did not want to break it, so those words were repeatedly delayed to the side of his mouth.
nIn the evening, after Huo Yunzhan and the other three returned, Huo Yunqi stood on the balcony smoking a cigarette and frowned. He was thinking about how to speak to Xia Luobing .
n
n
n“Why are you smoking?” Xiao Luobing put on her goose-yellow robe and stood in the living room with the fruit in her hand. She was charming and beautiful, showing an indescribable vitality.
nHuo Yunqi was stunned for a moment. He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and pressed it into the ashtray. He slowly turned around and smiled. “Ice, are you tired?”
n“Not bad!” Xia Luobing sat on the sofa with her hands crossed over her knees and a worried expression on her face. “I always felt that the relationship between Tao Zui and Huo Yunzhan was strange, but the two of them didn’t say anything. I was very worried.”
nHuo Yunqi walked over and sat beside Xia Luobing. He held her in his arms and said with a heavy expression, “Bing Bing, if I accidentally did something wrong to you, would you forgive me?”
n
n
nAfter thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t ask directly. He could only test the attitude of the woman in his arms tactfully.
nXia Luobing rubbed against Huo Yunqi’s embrace and found a comfortable seat to lean against. She smiled and said, “We’ve been through life and death together. There’s nothing unforgivable. And I’m sure you won’t do anything wrong to me!”
nPreviously, because of her stubbornness and pride, there were too many misunderstandings between the two of them, so Xia Luobing decided to trust the man beside her.
n“I’ve thought about it carefully. It’s not your fault that Mom doesn’t like me. I shouldn’t have blamed you!” Xia Luobing said very seriously, “I will try not to make her angry in the future.”
n
n
nHowever, this matter did not seem to be so easy to accomplish!
n“Bing Bing, actually …”
n“Are you talking about Ji Wei?” Xia Luobing said somewhat unhappily and said coolly, “It’s not your fault that she likes you, but you must not like her!”
nThis was already her bottom line. If it wasn’t for Ji Wei saving Huo Yunqi’s life, she wouldn’t have been so generous!
nHuo Yunqi’s heart did not relax because of Xia Luobing’s words. Instead, it became even heavier. If the woman in his arms knew about it, she would definitely leave him!
n“Luo Bing, I want to tell you …”
n
n
n“I’m tired from flying today! Let’s go to bed early!” Xia Luobing jumped off the sofa and grabbed Huo Yunqi’s arm, urging, “I have to go to the old mansion tomorrow!”
nIn Xia Luobing’s mind, going to the old mansion was like fighting a war, so she had to gather her strength and courage properly, otherwise she would definitely die a miserable death tomorrow!
nHuo Yunqi’s face was heavy, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. Looking at the woman’s beautiful face, his heart became even heavier.
nNo matter what happens tomorrow, he won’t allow this woman to leave his side again!
nThe next morning, Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing first went to the hospital to see Huo Zhengxiong , and then went home together. Liu Yan and Ji Wei sat in the living room and talked. The two of them were chatting and laughing. They seemed to be even more friendly than mother and daughter.
n“Qi, you’re back!”
nSeeing Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing appear hand in hand, Ji Wei’s eyes flashed with anger. However, she quickly put on an innocent smile and directly rushed over to hug Huo Yunqi. She simply treated Xia Luobing as air.
n“Miss Ji Wei, please don’t randomly hug someone else’s husband!” Xia Luobing unceremoniously removed Ji Wei from Huo Yunqi’s body, a serious warning on her face.
n
n
nSince she and Huo Yunqi understood each other’s intentions, it was absolutely impossible for Ji Wei to stick by Huo Yunqi’s side.
nEven if she saved his life, she still couldn’t let her husband promise her with his body, could she?
n“Qi” Ji Wei, who was pulled aside by Xia Luobing , looked at Huo Yunqi with tears in her eyes. Her face was filled with grievance and her mouth flattened, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
nHuo Yunqi frowned and grabbed Xia Luobing’s hand and directly brought her to Liu Yan in the living room, “Mom.”
nXia Luobing also tried her best to laugh, “Mom, I made you worry. I’m really sorry!”
nLast night, she had already made up her mind that she would try her best to ease the relationship between herself and Liu Yan and not let Huo Yunqi get caught in the middle.
n“Don’t call me mom!” Liu Yan slowly put down the coffee in her hand and looked at Xiao Luobing with disgust. She said angrily, “I can’t afford to call Officer Xia mother!”
nHuo Yunqi frowned, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
nHe knew Xia Luobing. It was not easy for her to do this. He didn’t want to see her because he was wronged.
n“Huo Yunqi!” Liu Yan suddenly stood up and pointed at her son’s nose to reprimand him, “For this woman, I almost lost my life. Do you want the Huo Clan to die?”
nA while ago, a good reporter wrote an article about Huo Yunqi risking her life to save Xia Luobing and published it in the newspaper. Huo Yunqi became the national husband in everyone’s eyes, but when Liu Yan saw the newspaper, she was so scared that she almost fainted.
nHow could she allow her son to take risks again and again for Xiao Luobing?
n“Qi, are you hurt? Does it hurt?” Ji Wei rushed over anxiously and nervously looked at Huo Yunqi as if she wanted to tear Huo Yunqi’s clothes open for inspection. However, seeing Xia Luobing’s warning gaze, she could only retreat to the side and lowered her head with an aggrieved expression on her face.
n
n
nSeeing this, Liu Yan became even angrier and said sternly, “One is a woman who sacrificed her life to save you, and the other is a person who almost killed you. Why can’t you see clearly who is treating you so well?”
n“Mom!” Huo Yunqi frowned and said in a bad tone, “Bing Bing is my wife. It’s my duty to protect her!”
nLiu Yan was so angry that her entire body trembled. She grabbed Ji Wei and gritted her teeth as she looked at Huo Yunqi. “Ji Wei’s innocent body was given to you. Don’t tell me you don’t have any feelings for her?”
n“Mom!” Huo Yunqi said resolutely. His first reaction was to go see Xia Luobing . Coincidentally, she was also looking at him.
n“Huo Yunqi, I believe you!” Xia Luobing’s palms were covered in sweat, but she thought that she had misunderstood him because of Zhuang Xinran , so she kept encouraging herself. She was the closest person to him, so she had to believe him, “As long as you say no, I believe no!”
nJi Wei looked pitifully at Huo Yunqi, tears rolling down her eyes, “Qi, if you really like Miss Xia , I will help you … I don’t need you to take responsibility, I just need to see you often!”
n“Yun Qi, you need to think about who exactly is the person you like!”
nHuo Yunqi frowned and looked at Xia Luobing’s clear eyes. She was deeply moved and worried. She said that he was willing to believe him, but he
n“Bing Bing, I’m drunk.” Huo Yunqi clenched his fingers tightly and said something for a long time. Then, he looked like a prisoner waiting for the verdict. He was annoyed and gave birth to a lowly hope.
nHe didn’t do it on purpose!
nXia Luobing’s eyes darkened, her body shook, and she almost fell. She stared blankly at Huo Yunqi, her voice trembling, “You, what did you say?”
n” Miss Xia , what Qi said is true! He took me for you when he was drunk!” Ji Wei hurriedly explained, her face full of love. “I won’t let him take responsibility. You can rest assured!”
nSo it’s true!
nShe hated betrayal the most, and she hated betrayal even more because “I was drunk”, so lame!
nShe was already very happy. She had tried her best to play the role of his wife. She had already put down all her suspicions and stubbornness and chose to believe him. However, reality had directly poured a basin of cold water on him!
n” Xia Luobing , you can’t compare to Ji Wei at all, so if you know yourself, you should take the initiative to leave Yun Qi!”
n“Bing Bing, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to …”
n” Miss Xia , don’t
n“Enough!” Xia Luobing suddenly regained his senses and let out a low roar. He raised his head to stare at Huo Yunqi and sneered, “Good! Very good!”
nNo wonder she asked last night if she could forgive him if he did something wrong to her?
nSo it really was done!
n” Miss Xia , please don’t blame Qi!” Ji Wei anxiously explained, “At that time, Qi thought you were dead, so …”
n“You think I’m dead?” Xia Luobing ‘s heart was numb with pain. She thought that she had slept with another woman after she died, was that so?
nHuo Yunqi stared at Ji Wei, his gaze almost killing people. He took a staggered step forward to grab Xiao Luobing’s wrist, but he could only feel the cold sleeves slipping past his fingertips.
nXia Luobing took a step back and stared at Huo Yunqi coldly, “Just treat me as dead!”
nAfter saying this, Xiao Luobing turned around and left, her back decisive without the slightest hesitation.
nHer world was so simple that only black and white remained, so she could not accept such betrayal!
n“Yunqi, a woman like Xia Luobing …”
n“Enough!” Huo Yunqi was like a wounded beast. His gaze was cold as he swept past the two of them. Finally, it landed on Ji Wei’s body. His voice was firm, “Ji Wei, I’m sorry about this. Other than being with you, I can agree to all your conditions!”
nIt wasn’t that he was cruel, but when he saw Xiao Luobing leave sadly, his heart was so painful that he couldn’t breathe.
nDropping these words, Yunqi Huo turned around and left, leaving behind two stunned women in the living room.
n“Auntie, I, I didn’t mean to …” Ji Wei looked at Liu Yan with red eyes and her voice trembled. “I just want to see Qi often. I don’t want to separate him from Miss Xia …”
nLiu Yan was also frightened by the look in her son’s eyes just now, so she patted Ji Wei’s hand and comforted her in panic, “It doesn’t matter, Auntie will help you …”
n“Ouch! Ouch!”
nJi Wei suddenly let go of Liu Yan’s hand and covered her mouth. Her face was ashen as she rushed into the bathroom. Her stomach was in a state of turmoil. Looking at the pale-faced woman in the mirror, a thought flashed through Ji Wei’s mind. After a short period of panic, she was overjoyed. Her subordinate subconsciously placed the child on her lower abdomen. This child had come in too timely!
n“Ji Wei, you” Liu Yan rushed over and looked at Ji Wei doubtfully. She couldn’t believe it and her voice trembled. “Are you pregnant?”
nBecause Huo Yunqi had told her before that there was something wrong with his body and it was impossible for him to have a child. She had always been worried, but judging from Ji Wei’s reaction now, she should be pregnant. So what Huo Yunqi said earlier should have been a lie?
nAs for why I lied to her
