Chapter 935: Chapter 935: I advise you to be kind and think more about your own life.

Huo Qi gazed down at the child in his arms; the infant’s still-forming face was slightly wrinkled, a pair of clear, clean black eyes staring straight at him.

It was as though she recognized him, for she stopped crying and let out a laugh with her mouth agape.

The nurse, witnessing the scene, remarked in surprise, "You really do have a father-daughter connection."

Mistaken by the nurse, Huo Qi did not bother to explain, his heart aching as if torn was soothed gently, filled with nothing but the smiling face of the child in his embrace.

Wu Fan, appearing beside him at some point, reached out a slender finger to poke at the child’s tender cheek.

Huo Qi instinctively wanted to step back, but upon seeing Wu Fan as the one reaching out, he suppressed the urge to retreat and stood his ground.

Wu Fan gazed at Miss Duan, who had been reborn through reincarnation, and spoke with a complex tone, "So soft, and so small; she seems incredibly fragile."

It wasn’t disdain that accompanied her words, but rather a sense of incredulity.

A nurse standing by the operating room door said, "The child’s mother will be out in half an hour. You can take the baby to the ward to wait."

"Understood, thank you," Qin Ruan thanked the nurse and then extended her hand to Huo Qi, "Give me the child."

Huo Qi moved stiffly, carefully transferring the child into her arms.

Qin Ruan held the lightweight child as naturally as she had once held Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, with poised steps towards the mother’s ward.

Huo Zhi and his subordinates closely followed behind to escort them, not leaving her side for a moment.

They had no choice; the master had given a strict order. If Madam were to run away again, they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

Huo Qi exchanged a glance with Wu Fan and also hurried to keep up.

In the single, luxurious ward, Qin Ruan skillfully wrapped the baby in a light blanket and laid her in the crib provided by the hospital.

It was strange—while lying in the crib, the child’s eyes were locked onto Huo Qi without a stray glance.

Her pair of clear, clean eyes expressed the same intense attachment of a newborn child to her birth mother.

Qin Ruan was certain that Miss Duan had consumed Spicy Soup in her cycle of reincarnation, eliminating the possibility of retaining any memories from her past life.

She speculated that there might be an innate sense of closeness to Huo Qi in the newborn.

Qin Ruan gently pinched the child’s cheek, then turned to Huo Qi standing beside her, "After the child’s mother comes out, what will you do?"

Huo Qi did not hesitate to answer, "I’ll give her a sum of money, and I’ll raise the child."

"You raise her?!" Wu Fan’s voice rose slightly, "Are you sure you know how to raise a child? Don’t end up raising her... crooked."

What she really meant was not to let the child die, as this was not some kitten or puppy.

Huo Qi’s brows furrowed, his handsome face showing distress.

He was only twenty-five years old, unmarried, and had no experience in raising children; he honestly couldn’t say for sure whether he would end up raising the child improperly.

A smile tugged at the corners of Qin Ruan’s mouth, "If you decide to raise her, there’s a lot to prepare; taking care of a child takes a ton of commitment and effort."

Huo Qi sought advice, "What preparations?"

Qin Ruan saw his eyes fixed on the child, his face full of a yearning to touch her, and realized that she was standing in his way.

Considerately, she stepped aside to give him space, moving toward an open area near the windowsill.

Seated on the window-side balcony, Qin Ruan relaxed her posture and began thoughtfully, "The child is still so young; eating, drinking, and other necessities will require specialized care—all of which money can take care of easily.

However, as she grows up and starts to understand the world, you as her guardian will need to expend a lot of effort to accompany her and guide her in establishing the right values in life.

Then there’s her education from childhood to adulthood, dealing with potential rebellious behavior once she hits puberty, and later on, the impact of early relationships as she gets older, among other things..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Qi said in a deep voice, "I think I can."

His hands trembled as he reached out to touch the cheek of the child lying in the cradle.

The child’s delicate and smooth little face felt especially nice to the touch, almost irresistible, and Huo Qi involuntarily curved his lips into a tender arc.

In his past and present life, he had lived too unsuccessfully.

Some debts needed to be repaid, and he didn’t need to set up the right values for this child; he just needed a strong enough background and strength to protect her for life, ensuring she grows up happy and carefree. That was what he should be doing.

As for what happens when she grows up, as long as he’s strong enough to keep her safe, everything else won’t be a problem.

Qin Ruan didn’t realize Huo Qi took her words as nothing, even distorting the meaning behind her words.

She also didn’t realize that spoiling a child only takes two words: excessive pampering!

Wu Fan watched Huo Qi’s face morph from gentle to eerie, and she got goosebumps all over, feeling very uncomfortable with this version of her ex-boyfriend.

She walked over to Qin Ruan and said in a low voice, "Why do I feel like there’s something very wrong with him?"

Since yesterday, Huo Qi had been in pain, self-blame, guilt, surrounded by a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

He seemed like a different person, cold and distant, using a false tenderness to hide his innate indifference.

Because of the arrival of a child, he had once again regained his former tenderness.

Only this tenderness was not as natural as before, giving her a strange feeling.

Qin Ruan squinted at Huo Qi and said indifferently, "This child has come to collect a debt."

In her view, Huo Qi was still acting normally, but who could say about the future.

"Collect a debt?" Wu Fan murmured to herself, her gaze shifting between her ex-boyfriend and the child.

Unaware of what she was contemplating, sympathy flashed in her eyes.

Huo Qi, oblivious, had his index finger seized by the small hand of the child lying in the crib.

His heart was full of joy, and he had a sudden inspiration as he glanced at Qin Ruan, "Should I give her a name?"

Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you don’t want to wait for the agreement of her mother in this lifetime?"

After all, the child’s mother hadn’t agreed to hand her over to Huo Qi to raise, and if something unexpected happened, wouldn’t it all be in vain?

Although the possibility was small, Huo Qi seemed a bit too eager.

"I won’t give her the chance," Huo Qi said with a voice low and dangerous, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Qin Ruan’s voice was tinged with a smile, casually saying, "Later on, as the guardian, it’s only right for you to name her."

Wu Fan recalled how Huo Qi had looked at Miss Duan by the Duan Family’s artificial lake last night, shouting "Afan," and she had a bad premonition.

"May I ask what the young Miss Duan’s name was in her past life?"

Without even looking up, Huo Qi gazed at the child and replied, "Fragrant flowers adorn the stage, bells and music shun the sanctuary; the great scholar Duan named her Duan Qifan."

Wu Fan’s expression turned odd, and she cursed softly under her breath.

Not seeing the subtle twist of his ex-girlfriend’s expression, Huo Qi appeared completely natural, his eyes filled with gentle fondness as he watched the child.

Wu Fan bit her lip and sneered coldly, "You’re not planning to include the character ’Fan’ in her name, are you? Although I have nothing to do with her, just the thought of you giving her a name similar to mine makes me uncomfortable. I advise you to be kind and think more about your own life."
