Chapter 835: Chapter 835 No One Dares to Touch You

Mrs. Huo’s pupils dilated due to wariness.

She had yet to speak when the man who had just spoken casually glanced at the bodyguard, his thin lips parting slightly, "Let her go!"

The bodyguard, who had been following Mrs. Huo’s orders, unconsciously released Cheng Bingbing under the man’s gaze and even retreated several steps in fear.

"Come here!" the man said to Cheng Bingbing with a tilt of his chin.

After being freed, Cheng Bingbing immediately scurried to the man’s side, seeking refuge behind him.

She could tell that this man seemed to be even more formidable than Mrs. Huo. As long as he was willing to stand by her side, Mrs. Huo would definitely not be able to hurt her and the child in her womb.

The man turned his head and glanced at her, "Are you alright?"

Cheng Bingbing, who had been somewhat afraid, suddenly felt a surge of grievance flood her heart upon seeing the man’s handsome features.

Her eyes reddening, she said, "I’m fine, thankfully you arrived in time."

Had this man not appeared when he did, there would have been no hope for the child in her womb.

The man’s gaze lingered on her reddened eyes for two seconds, a hint of menace flashing in his eyes as he said with a deep voice, "With me here, no one dares to touch you!"

Mrs. Huo, witnessing the interaction between the man and Cheng Bingbing, looked at the man with a noticeably sharper gaze, "What do you mean by this now?"

The man also looked calmly at Mrs. Huo, "My meaning is clear, with me here, you can’t touch her!"

"This is Qilin’s business, what does it have to do with you?" Mrs. Huo said displeased, "We have nothing to do with each other. I advise you to not meddle in our affairs; otherwise, I’ll surely seek justice from your father and uncle."

"Who says this has nothing to do with me!" the man said calmly.

"Then tell me, what does it have to do with you?" Mrs. Huo scoffed in disdain, "If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I will not let this go."

The man didn’t immediately respond but instead looked toward Cheng Bingbing.

Although he said nothing, Cheng Bingbing understood his intent. He was seeking her opinion on whether or not to reveal to Mrs. Huo that he was the father of the child.

Upon realizing this, she suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Bingbing nodded.

Firstly, she did not want to continue deceiving anyone, whether it was Huo Qilin or Mrs. Huo.

Secondly, if Mrs. Huo could not be convinced that the child in her womb wasn’t Huo Qilin’s, she would not give up. It takes nine months to bear a child, and her belly had just started to show; she still had several months before the child’s birth.

There are only short-term thieves, not eternal guards.

As long as Mrs. Huo did not relent, she would eventually find a weak spot to attack and harm the child in her womb. Cheng Bingbing dared not gamble, nor could she bear the consequences.

Therefore, the best solution was to have the biological father claim the child, convincing Mrs. Huo that the child in her belly truly was not Huo Qilin’s and therefore would not affect him. Only then might she possibly give up.

Having received Cheng Bingbing’s consent, the man spoke, "I am the child’s biological father, is this reason enough?"

Mrs. Huo’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing the words.

"Huo Qichen..." Her voice was hoarse, "do you realize what you’re saying?"

This was absurd. Cheng Bingbing was Huo Qilin’s girlfriend. How could the child in her belly be Huo Qichen’s?

Huo Qichen’s expression remained unchanged as he stressed, "I know, the child in her belly is mine. If you dare do anything to the child inside her, it won’t be a matter of whether or not you’ll stop; I definitely won’t let you off! If you dare harm my child, then I won’t let your son live a good life either!"

"How dare you!" Mrs. Huo, upon hearing his intent to target Huo Qilin, immediately became defensive as if facing a great enemy.

"Do you want to try?" Huo Qichen asked her.

Mrs. Huo opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single sound because she didn’t dare!

As Huo Qichen’s stepmother, having lived under the same roof with him for so many years, she wasn’t certain about his capabilities, but she was crystal clear about how ruthless he could be when he struck. There was nothing in this world he dared not do.

She observed Huo Qichen’s expression carefully, noted his utter seriousness, and realized he was not joking. It dawned on her that he was serious.

The child inside Cheng Bingbing’s belly was indeed his!

"Cheng Bingbing, you shameless woman," Mrs. Huo glared at Cheng Bingbing, full of fury. "You dare to seduce his elder brother while dating Qilin, and even got pregnant with his child!"

She might not like Cheng Bingbing or accept her as her daughter-in-law, but for her to engage with other men while still seeing Huo Qilin was another matter entirely. She was clearly slapping her own son in the face—an insult to Huo Qilin.

No mother could tolerate another woman humiliating her son in such a manner, especially a proud woman like Mrs. Huo.

Now, she hated Cheng Bingbing even more than before!

Ever since she heard Mrs. Huo call out the name of the man shielding her, Cheng Bingbing’s mind had gone blank.

Now, faced with Mrs. Huo’s pointed questioning, Cheng Bingbing opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.

Huo Qichen noticed her uneasy expression, stepped forward, blocked Mrs. Huo’s gaze towards her, and coldly issued an eviction order, "She needs to rest now. There’s no need to see you out."

Mrs. Huo was seething with anger at this point.

She could only console herself thinking that once Huo Qilin knew of Cheng Bingbing’s promiscuous nature, he would definitely not like her anymore, and she wouldn’t have to bother trying to separate them herself.

Huo Qilin would give up on his own and then listen to her, choosing to marry a well-matched heiress who could support him in gaining more of the Huo Family’s estate.

At the same time, Huo Qilin would realize how his respected elder brother had betrayed him, secretly carrying on with his girlfriend. He would surely turn against Huo Qichen and would no longer hold back from competing for the family assets out of brotherly affection.

This took care of two big problems for her all at once.

Mrs. Huo felt somewhat consoled by these thoughts.

"Cheng Bingbing, don’t come bothering Qilin anymore. He doesn’t want to see you for the rest of his life!" With those words, she waved her hand and left the hospital with her entourage of bodyguards.

Soon, only Cheng Bingbing, Huo Qichen, and Xia Qingtian were left in the hospital room.

Huo Qichen turned to glance at Cheng Bingbing, and seeing that she still appeared distraught, he thought she was still afraid and comforted her, "She’s gone now, there’s no need to be afraid anymore. I’m here by your side, she wouldn’t dare do anything to hurt you or the child in your belly."
