To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 406: The Baby Is Gone

Xiang Caiping had a baby, a girl. If Su Qignsang wasn’t her daughter, who was that baby girl, and where did she go?

Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows and thought of a possibility. “Perhaps that baby is gone.”

“How can that be possible?” Su Qingsang opened her eyes wider. That did not make sense.

“That’s only a guess. Based on what I’ve found out so far and on Xiang Caiping’s statement, she seems to have been through a difficult labor, which lasted a long time. You are a doctor. Do you think it’s possible that the baby might have died at birth? Perhaps your father lied to her about it because he didn’t want her to be sad.”

“Why did he bring me back to the Su Family then? Wouldn’t his life be better without me?”

“As I have said, he might have done that to make Li Qianxue unhappy.”

The woman he loved lost her daughter, while Li Qianxue’s child was perfectly healthy.

Back then, it was highly possible that Su Chenghui brought home a baby merely to make Li Qianxue unhappy.

“That’s possible,” Su Qingsang admitted. It sounded like something that Su Chenghui would do.

Finally, she braced herself up slightly. “So, I might be an orphan.”

“That…” Huo Jinyao didn’t know how to respond to that. “Perhaps you should talk to your father about that, or at least find out his blood type.”

“There is a medical examination report of his in his home.” The report was kept in Su Chenghui’s study. “I don’t think he’s my real father,” she said.

He had been cold to her and ignored her for so many years. At that very moment, Su Qingsang felt that everything was finally explained.

All she had been through would make sense if she was not the daughter of Su Chenghui and Xiang Caiping.

Neither she nor Huo Jinyao could have thought that Li Qianxue was the one who went through a difficult labor. She felt into unconsciousness for twenty-four hours after giving birth to her child.

Su Qingsang couldn’t have imagined that a clever person like Li Qianxue could be fooled like that.

She stayed silent. She was curious about her real parents. Who were they? Why did they abandon her?

Did Su Chenghui find her accidentally? Or was the whole thing planned in advance?

Perhaps only Su Chenghui could give her the answers to all those questions.

She abruptly took out her phone and found Su Chenghui’s number. However, she didn’t make the call.

She dropped her head and looked at her phone. She was perturbed.

Even if she made the call and asked those questions, what could possibly happen?

Would Su Chenghui tell her the truth? Would he tell her about her real parents?

Most importantly, if she asked, and if Su Chenghui told her the truth, what would happen to Xiang Caiping?

What would she do?

Huo Jinyao detected Su Qingsang’s low spirits. He didn’t like seeing her like that.

He stood up, walked to her side, and then sat down and held her in his arms. Su Qingsang closed her eyes and leaned her head on his shoulder.

“Huo Jinyao, I can’t talk to him about that.”

Huo Jinyao held her tighter and said, “Just do it, if you want to. Even if he refuses to tell you the truth, we can find it out on our own. After all, Su Chenghui isn’t just a nobody. We will be able to find out where he got a baby from.”

That wouldn’t be easy, though. After all, it happened over twenty years ago. It would take more than a few days to find Su Qingsang’s real parents.

“I can’t,” Su Qingsang shook her head. She had calmed down already. “Not now.”

Huo Jinyao understood. He figured out why immediately. “Are you worried about your mother?”

They had gotten used to calling Xiang Caiping ‘Mom’.

Su Qingsang nodded and said, “She came here on purpose to find her daughter, to be nice to her daughter and make up for all the lost years. She’s so nice to me.”

If she knew that Su Qingsang wasn’t her daughter, or that her real daughter might have died already, what would she do?

Not to mention the fact that she just had a car accident, and that she hadn’t yet recovered from the injury.

“Don’t do it, then,” Huo Jinyao turned her toward himself and then looked into her eyes and said, “Since you don’t know who your real parents are, leaving things as they are now can be a good option.”

Su Qingsang looked at him. Her heart leaped. He always supported her unconditionally.

“Huo Jinyao, do you think that I’m useless?”

“Why would I?”

“You see, I’ve been thinking that I’m an illegitimate daughter, but now I turned out to be an orphan. I don’t know who my real parents are, and I don’t even have the power to find out the answer for myself.”

“Darling,” Hua Jinyao gently held her in his arms. “I forbid you to think that way. No matter whose daughter you are, you are still you. An orphan, an illegitimate daughter, that doesn’t change anything. Don’t belittle yourself.”

“I’m not belittling myself. I just feel that I’m so useless.”

“Well, maybe I’m even more useless than you are. I can’t find your real parents for you.”

“Huo Jinyao,” Su Qingsang looked at him and smiled. “You are so good at comforting people.”

If that was any comfort.

“I’m telling the truth, not trying to comfort you,” Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek while speaking. “Now, this is comforting.”

Su Qingsang blushed slightly. She blinked, looked at him and said, “Am I allowed to scold you?”

“What?”

“How could you do that?” He ruined the sad atmosphere that she created.

“Darling, you are wrong,” Huo Jinyao put his forehead against hers, lowered his voice and said in a teasing tone, “We need that. It can ease your frustration.”

That was ridiculous. Su Qingsang gave him a stern look, but in the next second, she leaned toward him and gently kissed his lips.

“Huo Jinyao,” she put her arms around his neck and said with a soft voice, “Make me forget about all the unhappiness.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Huo Jinyao gently lifted her body, made her sit on his lap, and then put his arms around her waist tightly.

That was a crazy night. They were both exhausted. Su Qingsang slept tight without having even a single dream.

In the morning, she got up with a new resolution. It was as if she had adjusted her mindset.

She couldn’t tell Xiang Caiping the truth yet, so she decided to pretend not to know about it for now.

In the future, she would find a chance to talk to Su Chenghui about it. Su Chenghui might not tell her the truth, but she would find it out no matter what it took.

Huo Jinyao saw Su Qingsang walk out of the bedroom. He noticed the white sweater that she was wearing. It was simple and elegant, and looked perfect on her.
