Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Opening Up For the First Time
After all, everyone had concluded that Huo Tingdong would never wake up again.
The conditions set by the Huo Family were that if Huo Tingdong never woke up, she was not allowed to remarry, but the Huo Family would bear all her expenses.
Lin Qi felt that being a young widow was not a big deal, so she had no psychological burden.
However, she certainly wouldn’t dare to say this to Huo Tingdong.
Lin Qi asked, “Is your father abroad?”
Huo Tingdong answered with a “hmm.”

Lin Qi then asked, “When is he coming back to the country?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Next week. I will take you back to the Huo Family for a family banquet.”
Lin Qi said somewhat awkwardly: “In what capacity should I go back with you?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Fiancee.”
Lin Qi suddenly became defiant, “Just because you say I’m your fiancee, does that make me your fiancee?”
She was not such a sentimental person, nor did she need Huo Tingdong to go to great lengths to pursue her, but at the very least, a “I like you” should be said, right?
Otherwise, on what basis should she accept him?
She had her pride too.
Why should she agree to him so easily?
Huo Tingdong asked, “You don’t want to?”
Lin Qi finally couldn’t hold back, “Would it kill you to say ‘I like you’ to me?”
An unnatural expression suddenly appeared on Huo Tingdong’s face, “I’ve already said it.”
Lin Qi firmly said, “You didn’t say it!”
She was absolutely certain in her manner, certain that he had never said those words.
Huo Tingdong insisted, “I said it, you just forgot.”
Lin Qi said, “I’m sure you never said it, you only said, ‘I want you,’ ‘You are mine,’ but you never said ‘I like you’!”
Huo Tingdong furrowed his brows.
Those four words were somewhat difficult for him.
He was a person who kept his feelings deep inside, rarely revealing his heart.
For him to open up and say those words to her was too hard to say.
Seeing his hesitating attitude, Lin Qi became somewhat sullen: “Forget it then, I don’t want to force you.”
She turned and was about to go back to her room.
But Huo Tingdong followed her like a shadow.
As Lin Qi just returned to the room and hadn’t yet managed to keep him outside, the man grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
The 1.92-meter-tall man suddenly held her tightly.
She was enveloped in his arms, unable to see his expression at the moment.
Huo Tingdong lowered his head, his handsome face buried in her neck and shoulders, softly expressing two words from his throat: “Like.”
These two words, too brief, the voice very low, very deep, as if suppressing some emotions.
Lin Qi was stunned.
These words came so suddenly, she was caught off guard, even unable to hear clearly.
She asked somewhat discontentedly, “What does ‘like’ mean?”
Huo Tingdong said, “It means ‘like’ literally.”
Lin Qi asked, “Like who?”
Huo Tingdong said, “You.”
Lin Qi laughed but asked seriously, “Who are you?”
Huo Tingdong said, “You are you, you are Lin Qi, Lin Qi is you.”
Lin Qi was still satisfied, “Who likes me?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I.”
Lin Qi mockingly scolded, “You like who?”
Why can’t this man string these four words together?
Suddenly, Huo Tingdong cupped her face, lightly pecked her lips, his usually cold eyes, showing a pampering and tenderness she had never seen before, his tone serious and devout, “I like you.”
He took this matter so seriously, treating it with extra sincerity and seriousness.
Lin Qi held back her laughter, striving to maintain the same serious expression as him, “Say it again!”
She hadn’t heard enough.
Huo Tingdong could see her little “scheme,” but since he had already said it, why not say it a few more times.
“I like you.”
“Say it again…”
“I like you.”
He kissed her each time, repeating “I like you” with every kiss.
Since she wanted to listen, he would say it until she had enough.
Perhaps opening the box of tenderness, he spoke all the words of affection buried in his heart to her: “Lin Qi, I like you so much it hurts.”
“Qiqi, shall we be together?”
Lin Qi’s thoughts were suddenly disrupted by his dense words of affection.
She always felt that a man like Huo Tingdong, a straightforward man, would never learn to speak sweet nothings to her.
Those annoyingly sweet words, coming out of his mouth one word at a time, were surprisingly heartwarming and tender.
His voice was pleasant, and even more so when he was confessing seriously.
She couldn’t help but be mesmerized by his voice, greedily wanting more.
“From now on, shall I spoil you?” Huo Tingdong gazed deeply into her eyes, his eyes filled with warm affection, “I will only spoil you, Qiqi, shall we be together?”
Lin Qi said, “I…”
His tender approach made her lose her initiative, lost in this affection.
She couldn’t help asking, “You said you like me, how much do you like me?”
She gave him a “1+1 equals 2” kind of problem.
Huo Tingdong chuckled, softly pecking her lips: “More than yesterday, slightly less than tomorrow.”
His liking for her, always a bit more than yesterday, a bit less than tomorrow.
Even if it meant overcoming all obstacles, he would go all out in liking her.
Lin Qi’s heart raced, her cheeks burning hot.
This man, either doesn’t speak sweet nothings, or when he does, it’s incredibly touching.
The more she listened, the more her face blushed, blushing to the tips of her ears.
“That’s enough.” Upon hearing this, she was already very satisfied.
But having opened his heart, how could this man easily stop?
He’s such a proud man, these words, he felt he would never utter them in his lifetime.
Although he was domineering, he was also a persistent man. When he liked someone, he would be single-mindedly obsessive to the end.
“I want to give you a complete me, belonging only to you, Lin Qi.”
Huo Tingdong whispered in her ear, his warm words clearly articulated: “Besides you, I want no one else, I only want to love you.”
Huo Tingdong’s profound gaze deeply locked onto her face, “Qiqi, be with me, I will devote my whole life, Huo Tingdong’s life, to you.”
Lin Qi looked at his face, dazed for a long while, then laughed, “You scared me.”
“Huh?” Huo Tingdong was uncertain which sentence had frightened her.
Rather than being frightened, it was more like a surprise.
Each sentence he said was more touching than any vow.
No flowery rhetoric, only straightforward sincerity.
Lin Qi moved, hugged his waist, and buried her face in his shoulder, “Okay, let’s be together.”
“Cough cough cough…”
Outside, suddenly came Momo’s throat-clearing sound.
Lin Qi was startled, turned her head in alarm, and saw Han and Momo standing at the doorway.
The two Little Babies stared at them with sparkling eyes, gazing intently.
They didn’t know how long they had been standing there, and how much of the sweet dialogue between the two they had heard.
