Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Could This Man Have a Tendency for Domestic Violence?
Huo Tingdong made a sound of agreement.
Mo Ke asked again, “Did you mention it to her?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “She refused.”
Mo Ke was almost taken aback, “What!?”
Miss Lin actually refused Mr. Huo?
Mo Ke couldn’t believe it, “Mr. Huo, if even you are given the cold shoulder, then no man in this world could find a wife.”
Huo Tingdong said, “She wants a sense of ceremony. Mo Ke, let me ask you, what kind of ceremony do women want?”
Only then did Mo Ke understand, “I see, Miss Lin must feel that simply agreeing to remarry is too hasty; she is considering propriety.”
Huo Tingdong asked, “So?”
Mo Ke sat down next to Huo Tingdong and started to strategize, “Women! They want a sense of ceremony because they want to feel cherished and cared for by men. Women’s emotions are delicate; they care a lot about the detail of experiences…”
Huo Tingdong interrupted him, “Don’t give me theories.”
For him, what Mo Ke said was too abstract; lacking romantic experience, he naturally couldn’t understand.
Mo Ke succinctly said, “Women want little surprises in ordinary life, like an unexpected gift from you could make Miss Lin very surprised and moved.”
“Gift?”
“Yes, it must be a surprising gift. The ones you usually buy when accompanying Miss Lin shopping don’t count. It should be given when she’s completely unprepared; the surprise and emotional impact would be doubled.”
Mo Ke generously shared his experience.
Huo Tingdong queried, “In your opinion, what gift should I give her?”
Mo Ke suggested, “A necklace, bracelet, handbag, earrings… Women love diamonds, the blingy kind, the bigger the carat the better. Mr. Huo, why not give Miss Lin a diamond necklace? Do you know the size of her neck?”
Huo Tingdong answered, “I don’t know.”
Mo Ke fell silent for a moment, then tentatively suggested, “Then why don’t you find a chance to secretly measure it?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Hmm. Later, you help me choose one.”
“Okay. Tomorrow then! But, tonight, remember to measure Miss Lin’s neck circumference, remember, she mustn’t find out!” Mo Ke emphasized repeatedly.
That evening.
Huo Tingdong returned home from the office.
Lin Qi was in the room keeping Han company.
These days, Han was feeling down.
The death of Grandpa Zheng had greatly affected him.
Neither Mo Mo nor Huo Tingdong had the knack for comforting others, but Lin Qi, with her delicate emotions, could see that Han was distraught, so she stayed by his side.
It was then that Han’s spirits started to lift.
As Huo Tingdong approached the bedroom door, he saw Han reading the medical book Grandpa Zheng had left him.
Upon seeing Huo Tingdong, Lin Qi immediately walked toward him, “You’re back.”
“Hmm.” Huo Tingdong glanced at Han, who was deeply engrossed in reading, and asked, “How is he doing?”
Lin Qi replied, “Han really misses Grandpa Zheng.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Grandpa Zheng was very good to him. With the old man’s passing, he must be greatly affected.”
Lin Qi reported, “However, compared to yesterday, his mood is much better today.”
Huo Tingdong noted, “He’s still young now, without a concept of life and death separations. As he grows up, he’ll gradually learn to say goodbye.”
Birth, ageing, illness, death, are the natural laws no one can escape.
The life of a person is actually very fleeting.
Lin Qi, startled by Huo Tingdong’s words, seemed momentarily dazed.
Indeed, the more one grows up, the more one must learn how to say goodbye.
Huo Tingdong’s gaze suddenly fell on her neck.
His look was unabashed, as he slightly squinted his eyes.
Seeing him continuously staring at her neck, Lin Qi sensitively raised her hand and touched her neck, “Is there something dirty on my neck?”
“Nothing.” Huo Tingdong hesitated, “Lin Qi, you…”
He wanted to ask Lin Qi’s neck size, but Mo Ke had repeatedly emphasized, it had to be kept secret, to surprise her, so he couldn’t let her know anything.
So, he said, “It’s nothing.”
Lin Qi didn’t think much about it.
She said, “Let’s have dinner! Han and Momo are hungry, they have been waiting for you.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Hmm.”
The family of four finished their dinner.
Lin Qi then coaxed Han and Momo to sleep.
These days, Han seldom smiled and made less fuss, Momo felt somewhat unaccustomed, but all he could do now was to stay by Han’s side when he was most heartbroken and upset.
In the middle of the night.
Huo Tingdong gently pushed open Lin Qi’s door.
Lin Qi was already asleep.
He approached the bed, looking at her smooth, delicate swan neck, hesitating.
There was no measuring tape in the house.
How was he to measure her neck girth?
Huo Tingdong hesitated for a moment, moved closer to the bed, bent slightly, stretched out his hand, opened his tiger’s mouth, and tried to roughly measure her neck girth with both hands.
The next second—
Lin Qi sensed something unusual on her neck and suddenly opened her eyes.
Under the dim moonlight, the two stared at each other.
As Lin Qi woke from her drowsy state, she saw Huo Tingdong’s hands “clenching” her neck.
A hint of unnaturalness appeared on the man’s handsome face.
She had awoken so abruptly that he hadn’t withdrawn his hands.
Lin Qi looked shocked: “Huo Tingdong…”
A slight unease appeared in her eyes, somewhat unclear whether this was a dream or reality.
Otherwise, why would she see a man’s hands around her neck upon waking…
Could it be…
This man was sleepwalking?
“Huo Tingdong…” Lin Qi asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you awake?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Why did you wake up?”
His tone seemed very alert.

Huo Tingdong withdrew his hands.
Lin Qi sat up on the bed with an embarrassed expression and asked blankly, “What were you trying to do…”
This man, he wouldn’t have a tendency for domestic violence, would he?
She eyed him doubtfully.
Huo Tingdong didn’t know how to explain.
He swallowed, slowly stood up, and told her, “You continue sleeping.”
Lin Qi: “…” He hadn’t explained it clearly to her yet.
But she didn’t dare to ask, until Huo Tingdong left the room, she lay down on the bed, but could no longer fall asleep.
The next morning.
Lin Qi had slept fitfully; she had a nightmare that after getting married, Huo Tingdong suddenly became a completely different person, punching and kicking her.
She was scared awake by the nightmare, only to find out it was just a dream.
It seemed that she had thought too much before sleeping, which led to the nightmare.
After washing up, Lin Qi walked out of her room and found that Huo Tingdong had already gone to the office.
She absent-mindedly woke Momo and Han.
In the dining room.
Lin Qi looked at Han sitting across from her.
These past few days, Lin Qi and Momo had been staying with Han, and after one night, Han’s mood seemed to have improved slightly, and his appetite had also recovered; he ate three sandwiches in a row.
Lin Qi tentatively asked, “Han, does your Daddy have a tendency for violence?”
