Chapter 273 His Love Was Mad
Sweetie had never been to Yunhai Huafu before, but she was fast asleep and naturally didn't hear the name of the place.
So when the little one woke up after getting off the bus, he became even more curious.
"Mommy, where is this?" Sweetie, who had just woken up, instinctively looked for her mother.
Jiang Qin was walking next to Huo Sili when the little baby woke up and wanted her to hold her, so Tian Tian ended up in Jiang Qin's arms.
Jiang Qin opened her mouth, returning to this familiar place, her emotions were involuntarily complicated, and she didn't know how to introduce herself.
Huo Sili looked over gently and said, "This is Mommy and Daddy's old home. Before we went abroad, Mommy and Daddy lived here."
Sweetie's eyes were still a little dazed, but upon hearing this, she suddenly perked up.
"Then..." Sweetie blinked her eyes and asked innocently, "Then this place is Sweetie's... um, Sweetie's birthplace?"
Origin?
Upon hearing this word, not only was Jiang Qin speechless, but Huo Sili was also visibly surprised.
The next second, their eyes met, and Jiang Qin felt a burning sensation in her ears.
However, she knew, of course, that her daughter didn't mean that; she simply wanted to know where she came from.
Because when she was abroad, Tian Tian knew that she was not a foreign child. She looked different from those other children and always wanted to figure out where she came from.
Where is one's hometown? As for how the word "birthplace" was learned by a young child...
Jiang Qin wasn't really sure, but it wasn't hard to guess; she probably saw it while reading a book.
Among the picture books she bought for Tian Tian were history books. Compared to adult books that are full of text, those children's picture books are much more vivid and engaging.
Sweetie has always been very smart and has always been interested in where she comes from, so it's not particularly strange that she can remember such a word.
That is, the child has memorized the words, but clearly hasn't truly understood how to use them.
Jiang Qin has delicate, fair skin; any slight redness will be very noticeable.
She herself might not realize it, but Horstley was always the one who knew it best.
As Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin's flushed ears, a slight smile appeared on his thin lips. He looked at the daughter in his wife's arms and nodded earnestly.
"Yes, Sweetie, this is where Sweetie was born."
Jiang Qin's ears were burning red. From Tian Tian's perspective, which she couldn't see, she glared fiercely at Huo Sili.
But his gaze wasn't intimidating. However, after Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin's reddened earlobe again, he obediently shut up.
He can only remain happy if he can continue to be happy with his wife; he's starting to be able to distinguish between right and wrong.
I was wrong--
He mouthed the words to her.
Jiang Qin noticed him, but didn't want to talk to him for a while.
Carrying Tian Tian, I walked inside.
It's been more than three years since I last came here.
Because she used to live here, she didn't feel particularly unfamiliar with the place.
But I did feel a real sense of disorientation as time flew by.
When she left, she thought her marriage was a complete failure, felt sorry for herself, and gave up on him.
Although she never told anyone, she knew that at that time her sense of worth plummeted until she hit rock bottom.
She even wondered if she had truly been cursed by heaven.
She couldn't keep the people who loved her, and the people she loved weren't worth her love.
But at this moment, reality reverses, presenting a stark contrast that tells her that things are not like that at all.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Qin's complex emotions, the elevator went all the way up to the third floor. Huo Sili didn't say another word.
He tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, afraid that he would remind her of those unhappy things from the past.
Sweetie was very curious and kept looking at the building in front of her.
Especially now, as Mommy carries her out of the elevator, she is greeted by a riot of flowers.
A colorful flower archway was installed in the hallway leading to the master bedroom.
Because the original ceiling height was high enough and the corridor was wide enough, the arch design did not make the space feel cramped; instead, it created a relaxing feeling of being outdoors.
The fresh air system keeps the indoor air fresh at all times, and the flowers are very fresh, so they must have been put up recently.
The sweet scent is very pleasant and makes people feel happy.
Sweetie exclaimed "Wow!" several times, and then said without hesitation that she wanted to take a picture.
Before Jiang Qin could speak, Huo Sili agreed and asked, "Are you taking pictures with Mommy? How about bringing Daddy along?"
Sweetie seemed to think for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Qin.
"Mommy?"
Jiang Qin replied calmly, "Mm."
Sweetie tilted her little head up and smiled at Holmes: "Mommy agreed!"
Horst crouched down and picked up the baby.
They walked and walked, until they stood close to Jiang Qin.
Sweetie made a peace sign, and Jiang Qin seemed a little uncomfortable, but after her daughter looked over, she also made a peace sign in return.
Huo Sili held his phone in his other hand, while Jiang Qin supported Tian Tian with one hand.
Horstley pressed the shutter button.
Click!
The first family photo of the three-person family was taken.
In the photo, Huo Sili leans towards Jiang Qin, the two are very close, and Huo Sili is smiling happily.
……
I guess I got up too early this morning and played some brain games with Tian Tian for a while.
The little baby started fishing again, and soon fell asleep in Jiang Qin's arms.
Gently placing the baby on the bed and covering it with a blanket, Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili, who had been following her around without doing anything, but had been sticking to her ever since she entered the master bedroom.
He lowered his voice, "I have something to tell you. Come out and talk."
Huo Sili's dark eyes widened slightly, but he didn't respond. Jiang Qin had already turned and walked out.
Huo Sili quickly followed, and when they went outside, Jiang Qin left the door slightly ajar.
The room was quite soundproof, she remembered, worried that if Tian Tian suddenly woke up again and made any noise, she wouldn't be able to hear it in time.
In the large, single-level apartment, Jiang Qin walked over and sat down at the sofa closest to the master bedroom.
Huo Sili followed closely behind, but he didn't dare to be impolite enough to get close to Jiang Qin.
Instead, he sat down opposite her and tentatively asked in a low voice, "What does the baby want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Qin cut to the chase: "This time when I came back..."
As if anticipating what she was about to say, Huo Sili frowned, his expression turning somewhat uncomfortable.
Sitting opposite him, Jiang Qin could clearly see the changes in his expression.
But she didn't stop talking and continued to say everything she wanted to say, including but not limited to the fact that she was going to take Tian Tian back, the progress of her studio, and Tian Tian's future academic plans.
She would allow him to visit Tian Tian, but he could not contact Tian Tian without permission.
Horst did not interrupt her as she spoke.
But once she finished speaking, the change in Huo Sili's expression undoubtedly revealed everything he wanted to say.
Just as Jiang Qin was about to speak, Huo Sili's eyes reddened, and he suddenly stood up.
The kiss came unexpectedly, but Jiang Qin didn't push it away when she realized what was happening.
Before she could even push it away, a warm teardrop landed on her face.
"..."
Is he...crying?
Jiang Qin looked closely and saw that Huo Sili's eyes were bloodshot and his face suddenly seemed to have turned pale.
This kind of Huo Sili made Jiang Qin nervous.
Of course, this tension did not include fear, but rather, she was worried about him.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her hand instinctively reached out to touch it.
She had to admit that his sudden fainting spell at the old house last time had indeed left a shadow on her.
"You don't look well, are you alright?" Thinking of that incident, Jiang Qin still asked directly.
Huo Sili looked at her without saying a word, but his eyes clearly showed accusation.
That look made Jiang Qin feel inexplicably guilty.
There's a sense of guilt that comes from bullying someone until they cry and then asking them if they're okay.
However, if she remembered correctly, he was the one who made the first move, wasn't he? He even dared to force a kiss on her.
Although Jiang Qin admitted that his kiss was very light, not as rough as when he was crazy before.
It didn't hurt her.
But... he still has his arm around her waist, so close to her, what is he feeling wronged about?
Huo Sili remained silent, simply staring at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin was also a little unsure of what to say, so after a pause, she simply said, "If there's nothing else, then let go and go sit down."
Horstley still didn't listen and continued to look at her.
Jiang Qin wanted to push him, but she was met with a wronged and hurt look on his face, so she didn't reach out her hand.
The atmosphere became awkward.
After an unknown amount of time, in the room, Tian Tian turned over.
Outside, Jiang Qin didn't know what had gotten into her, or if she was simply bewitched by someone's beauty.
Looking at his aggrieved expression for too long, and recalling what I had learned these past few days, and thinking about his past, I realized that he was just as cautious, just as cowardly and timid in his marriage with her.
Feeling insecure and anxious about gains and losses.
She hooked her arms around his neck.
With her long eyelashes drooping slightly, her gaze locked onto his lips, and she took the initiative to kiss him.
Huo Sili's pupils dilated slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he leaned closer.
It gradually got dark.
It's getting late.
What broke their kiss was Song Xinye's phone call.
"Qinqin, aren't you coming back tonight?"
With his phone on the coffee table and Jiang Qin's permission, Huo Sili reached out and picked it up to answer Song Xinye's call.
"Yes, brother-in-law, Qinqin is staying at home tonight and won't be going back."
I heard someone's voice coming from over there, and I also heard what the other person called me.
Song Xinye paused slightly, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and hung up the phone with a beep.
After three years apart, just a kiss was enough to make them both blush and feel hot.
When it comes to hiding their emotions, Huo Sili is better than Jiang Qin.
But that was for outsiders; right now, he wasn't hiding anything from her.
His eyes burned with intense love, his dark pupils filled with a passionate, almost obsessive love, yet also with restraint, forbearance, and hope.
"Let's go to the second bedroom, okay?" He looked into her eyes and whispered gently.
"I'll be very gentle, really, baby, you can trust me."
