Chapter 18: Going home

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Er…” Huo Ling was the first to speak, but he was suddenly at a loss for words. He had never tried placating a girl like this before. In fact, he hardly ever apologized.

Quan Meng simply hung her head and did not even want to look at Huo Ling. There seemed to be a strange magnetic field around the two of them, and passers-by had to take a detour when they saw them.

After a long time, Huo Ling did not speak again. Quan Meng sighed. The near-zero temperature had caused the water vapor in her breath to turn white.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.” Quan Meng had completely lost the confidence she had while she was in the lobby just now. She still kept her head lowered and looked depressed.

After saying this, Quan Meng walked past Huo Ling and was about to leave.

“Wait a minute.” Huo Ling reached out and grabbed Quan Meng. The girl’s body temperature was so low that Huo Ling got a shock. He quickly put the coat in his hands on Quan Meng.

“I was wrong about you earlier.” Huo Ling turned Quan Meng around and said softly, “It was my fault for having a bad attitude today.”

Quan Meng buried her head in her coat. The coat exuded a faint whiff of Huo Ling’s scent, probably because the coat was in Huo Ling’s arms just now. This scent made Quan Meng feel at ease. Perhaps their feelings for each other had changed without them realizing it.

“Why don’t we talk in the car?” When he saw that the girl was a little cold, Huo Ling raised his car key and shook it twice.

Quan Meng nodded.

Huo Ling’s voice sounded a little pitiful. After they got into the car, only the two of them were left in the narrow space. They could even hear each other’s breathing clearly.

Following that, there was silence. After a long silence, Huo Ling finally took the initiative to speak.

“Little Floss just vomited.”

“Is it alright?” When she heard that Little Floss had vomited, Quan Meng was very worried. After all, she already had feelings for the creature, not to mention that Little Floss fell sick because of her.

“It’s not your problem. It’s because Little Floss is pregnant.” Huo Ling was finally conversing with Quan Meng normally.

“I won’t yell at you anymore.” Huo Ling was very sincere when he said that. He looked into Quan Meng’s eyes. “Can you forgive me? Moreover, Little Floss’s child still needs a grandmother.”

Huo Ling’s words made Quan Meng laugh. “I’m only 22 years old. Where can you find such a young grandmother!”

She looked very pretty when she smiled… Huo Ling was shocked by his own thoughts. Initially, he only got married to deal with his family, that was all. “Don’t have any other thoughts,” Huo Ling warned himself in his heart.

Quan Meng did not notice Huo Ling’s odd behavior. She only felt a little awkward. After all, the two of them were still quarreling not long ago. Quan Meng silently turned her head to the window.

Huo Ling also took a few deep breaths. The two of them were as shy as teenagers in puberty.

“Are… Are we going home?”

“Yes, let’s go home. Fasten your seat belt.”

Huo Ling focused on driving while Quan Meng sat in the passenger seat and looked at Huo Ling’s side profile.

Quan Meng once again lamented the injustice of the heavens. How could someone be so good-looking? He had a clear jawline, a high nose bridge, and an exquisite chin. The night light shining on his face made him look as if he had a soft filter applied over him.

“What are you looking at?” Huo Ling’s voice interrupted Quan Meng’s appreciation, making her feel as if she had been caught doing something bad.

“I’m looking at how handsome my husband is!”

Huo Ling was already starting to get used to Quan Meng’s frankness, but his expression was still a little unnatural. Quan Meng also liked to see Huo Ling’s expression after she teased him.

When she got home, Quan Meng saw Little Floss lying lazily on the cat tree. When Little Flosssaw Quan Meng and Huo Ling, she forced herself up strenuously, but she couldn’t support herself for more than a while before flopping down again. No wonder she felt that Little Floss had gained a lot of weight. It turned out that she was pregnant.

After playing with the cat for a while, Quan Meng got up and turned around to find that the dishes on the table had all been cleared away.

“Did he throw them out again?” Quan Meng thought to herself.

Huo Ling also noticed Quan Meng’s gaze. “Your cooking is delicious.”

“You ate it all?” Quan Meng was a little pleasantly surprised. After all, she didn’t expect Huo Ling to eat it. He even said that her cooking was delicious. Was her tough-acting softie husband finally enlightened?

“I’m glad you like it.” Quan Meng did not sleep well the entire night. She was indeed moved by Huo Ling, but what about Liang Ye? When she was with him, she genuinely loved him and could even tolerate some of his shortcomings.

Therefore, when she found out that her boyfriend and her older sister were together, she was very sad, angry, and above all, heartbroken.

She really wanted to take revenge, but whenever she thought of that scene, she would still despise herself for being blind and hate herself for being useless. Ultimately, she still felt terrible.
