The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 120 - : Ten Thousand and One Black Roses
Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Ten Thousand and One Black Roses
Lin Qi said, “Also, why should I marry? I have a son now, and 200 million, what do I need a husband for?” Having said that, she smiled and asked, “Does Mr. Huo think what I said makes sense?”
Huo Tingdong found himself speechless for a moment.
“Besides…” Lin Qi said with a smile, “it was you who wanted to divorce me, and you were the one who asked me to sign the agreement. There’s a saying ‘a good horse doesn’t eat the grass behind it.’ Now that you’ve come to ask me to remarry you, I have every right to refuse.”
After being reminded…
Huo Tingdong suddenly remembered.
It was indeed he who had forced her to sign the divorce agreement.
He had actually forgotten.
Seeing the man’s ashen face and speechless, Lin Qi asked, “Does Mr. Huo have anything else to say? If not, I’m going to sleep, and you can go. No need to see you out.”
After speaking, she lay down, wrapped herself in the quilt, with only half of her small face showing.
Huo Tingdong looked at her and slowly stood up, “I won’t disturb your rest then.” After saying that, he turned around and left the room.
Once he left, Lin Qi finally let out a sigh of relief.
She was sleeping well, and the sudden visit from Huo Tingdong had completely disrupted her sleep.
These days she was undergoing intensive physical rehabilitation, and her whole body ached everywhere.

The more it hurt, the more she recalled many things.
How cruelly Song Shuyan had pushed her from such a height.
Despite knowing Song Shuyan was the culprit, Huo Tingdong insisted on protecting her.
There were many unfair things in this world.
Huo Tingdong walked downstairs, to the car, where Han was eagerly peering out from the car window, looking at him walking towards the car.
The car door opened, and Little Baby immediately showed hopeful eyes, seemingly asking without words: Was the proposal successful?
Huo Tingdong said coldly, “She’s not willing.”
Han’s eyes widened, his tender little mouth moving slightly.
Huo Tingdong seriously repeated, “She doesn’t want to marry me.”
Han was deeply disappointed.
He abruptly grabbed a throw pillow beside him and threw it at Huo Tingdong forcefully.
The man effortlessly caught it, got in the car, and stuffed the pillow back into Han’s arms, “Don’t force someone to do what they can’t.”
Suddenly, Han picked up a phone, typed some text on the screen, and soon, several images popped up.
He held the phone up to Huo Tingdong; the man glanced at it—it was a web page filled with images, a full screen of roses.
There were 999 roses, a huge bunch.
There were 9999 roses, a big handful, with white roses arranged on top spelling out “I LOVE YOU” as a declaration of love.
There were 99999 roses, covering the ground, both romantic and vibrant.
Huo Tingdong gave a fair comment, “Garish.”
The driver started the car, chuckling, “I didn’t expect the young master to be so romantic. They say no woman can refuse roses, especially not 9999 of them; for women, it’s the ultimate romantic declaration.”
Huo Tingdong looked at the driver, his eyes slightly narrowing.
Intimidated by his gaze, the driver immediately fell silent, but couldn’t help muttering, “I gave my wife roses on Valentine’s Day, and she was very happy.”
Huo Tingdong said, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”
The driver reluctantly nodded, “Yes.”
The next day.
After Lin Qi had breakfast and digested it a bit, she got out of bed, pushed her walker, and started another tough rehab session.
The doctor said that once she could gradually walk, the next rehab program would be scheduled.
It was so difficult.
What used to be an ordinary task, walking, had now become terribly painful.
Lin Qi wasn’t one to endure pain easily; she had long forgotten the agony of childbirth, and now walking had become the most painful thing for her.
After a few steps, she was already sweating profusely.
“Young Director, hello…”
“Young Director, good.”
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the nurse station.
Lin Qi looked up, and Lu Li had already approached her.
Today he was not in a white lab coat, but in a white shirt with gray trousers, looking even more gentle and refined.
“Mr. Lu…”
Beside her, the attendant respectfully greeted, “Young Director, good.” She had been working in the hospital for years, so she had seen Lu Li and knew he was the Young Director, the future heir of the Lu Group.
Lu Li said to the attendant, “You go back to the ward, I’ll take care of her.”
The attendant hesitated, looking at both Lu Li and Lin Qi.
Lin Qi hesitated, “No need…”
Lu Li approached her and corrected some of her grip and gait issues, “You will hurt your knees and wrist joints if you hold the walker like that, you’re not holding it the right way.”
He adjusted the height of her walker and corrected her grip.
Lin Qi suddenly realized, “No wonder my wrist hurts, it’s because my grip was wrong…”
Seeing this, the attendant couldn’t help but admire, “As expected of the Young Director, so professional. I feel reassured leaving Miss Lin in your care.” She then returned to the ward.
Lu Li walked beside Lin Qi, his sudden closeness, the scent of his cologne enveloping her silently.
She shyly avoided him.
Lu Li looked down, noticing her evasion, and asked, “Are you allergic to perfume?”
Lin Qi hurriedly replied, “No… not at all.”
Lu Li said, “I’ll accompany you for a round first.”
Lin Qi absent-mindedly nodded.
She walked step by step with the walker, and Lu Li followed closely behind her, watching her unwaveringly. When she almost fell due to weak legs, his instinct was to reach out to help, but he hesitated, not daring to have too intimate physical contact, fearing her resistance.
She walked cautiously.
He followed cautiously.
After half a lap, Lin Qi was already panting, stopping to catch her breath.
Lu Li pulled out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead, “Does it hurt?”
Lin Qi nodded, “It hurts…” It was excruciating.
She might understand now the agony of the little mermaid in the fairy tale, whose tail turned into legs, dancing ballet on the edge of a blade.
Lin Qi looked up and met Lu Li’s tender gaze, quickly looking away to change the subject, “Aren’t you working today?”
Lu Li said, “I’m off.” He paused, then asked, “Don’t you want to see me?”
Lin Qi quickly denied, “No.”
Lu Li’s smile turned into a grin, “I thought you didn’t want to see me.”
Suddenly exclamations rose one after another from the nurse station.
“Oh my gosh! Such a big bunch of roses!”
“It looks like there are 9999 of them!”
“Who sent it? So many roses, they won’t fit in the ward!”
Amid the noisy crowd, a polite man’s voice came, “Excuse me, which ward is ‘Lin Qi’ Miss Lin in?”
The nurse asked, “Is this for Miss Lin Qi?”
“Yes.”
“Who sent it?”
The man courteously replied, “That’s customer privacy, we can’t disclose it.”
