She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 375 Confession

On the third day after the boiler explosion, Ye Shu only went there for a while in the morning to help with the ward rounds. Seeing that nothing serious was happening in the hospital, he went home.

Today is Mr. Duan’s birthday, so she has to go back early to help Mother Hu prepare the banquet.

In fact, it was just two families having dinner together, and there was nothing much to prepare these days. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but they were afraid that if they prepared too much and ate well, people would talk about them.

But their family is not afraid, because Ye Shu had sent a lot of dried seafood before. If they soak a little of each, they can make several big meat dishes!

Ye Shu was cleaning the kelp and then cutting it into shreds, preparing to make a cold kelp salad.

Mother Hu suddenly came close to her and whispered in her ear: "You have been too busy recently, and I haven't told you something."

Ye Shu: "Hmm?"

Turning her head to see Mother Hu's excited and happy expression, she guessed, "Is it about Brother Duan and Sister Ling?"

Hu Jingfei nodded repeatedly, then gestured for her to speak in a lower voice so that no one could hear.

Ye Shu then remembered: "Today is Saturday, right? Is Sister Ling working overtime today? What about Zhuzhu and Dandan?"

She had been back for a while and didn't hear any movement next door.

There is no such thing as sleeping in these days, and Zhuzhu and Dandan get up with the adults every day.

Hu Jingfei couldn't stop smiling. "A-Ling is working overtime. It's the end of the semester soon and there's a lot going on at school. As for Zhuzhu and Dandan, your eldest brother took them out to play!"

She waved her hand: "That's not important! What's important is that, if I'm not mistaken, this guy should have confessed his feelings to A Ling!"

I have to say that enthusiastic middle-aged women and elders who care for the younger generation sometimes really have the ability to see through things with a keen eye!

It turned out that after Duan Qi sent Ye Shu to work that day, he went directly to Huo Yiling's school.

In fact, he took to heart all the hints Hu Jingfei had given him. He was also afraid that when he was not around, Huo Yiling would really go on a blind date with someone, and then get married again after getting to know the other person for a while and then thinking that the other person was a good person.

Unfortunately, he was not with her for a very long time, a very, very long time!

It grew to the point where he was afraid, panicked, and unable to sleep at night.

So, we can't delay it any longer.

But he was actually very conflicted and hesitant in his heart. Just like Hu Jingfei said, he was a coward.

The older he gets, the more timid he becomes. Now he really doesn't have the high spirits he had when he was young.

He was worried that if he made his feelings clear, she would avoid him and would never let him get close to her and help her like she did now.

It was such a coincidence that Duan Qi just arrived at Huo Yiling's office building when he saw her being stopped and harassed by a man:

"Yiling, I really like you! I have liked you for many years. I advised you to divorce me before. I said that guy surnamed Ni was not a good person! See, I was right!"

"I really care about you. I like you. Please marry me. I will treat you well for the rest of my life! And I will treat your two daughters as my own!"

Duan Qi's face immediately darkened. He quickly walked to Huo Yiling, put his arm around her shoulders, protected her to his side, and separated her from the harassing man.

The man's expression changed immediately when he saw this: "Who are you?! Let me go!"

Duan Qi came here in casual clothes today, thinking of keeping a low profile and not attracting attention to Huo Yiling. So this guy didn't even realize he was a police officer, and he looked very fierce, probably wanting to show off his masculinity in front of Huo Yiling.

But he was destined to be embarrassed in front of Huo Yiling today.

Because today Duan Qi also came to perform in front of Huo Yiling!

He had heard Hu Jingfei say several times that someone was coveting Huo Yiling, and that leaders and colleagues in her unit wanted to arrange a blind date for her.

To put it bluntly, he is here today to assert his sovereignty!

So when the man came over to push her, she simply twisted his arm, twisted it behind his back, and threw him out.

If an expert sees the reverse cutting action here, he will definitely understand it. This is the habitual action of public security comrades to arrest criminals!

It’s also a signature move!

But even if the man didn't see it or recognize it, it was still painful enough for him.

Although he didn't fall to the ground, it was enough to ruin the careful dressing he had done to meet Huo Yiling'er.

He was instantly furious.

Then he heard a cold voice: "Who am I? I am Huo Yiling's man! Open your eyes and see clearly, not everyone is someone you can mess with!"

The man was stunned and didn't believe it, so he went to look at Huo Yiling.

Duan Qi blocked the man and said coldly, "Get lost!"

He was instantly frightened and met Duan Qi's sharp eyes belatedly. He swallowed subconsciously, and was too scared to say anything and left.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and seemed a little awkward.

Huo Yiling struggled and walked out from under his arms. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Duan Qi: "Don't say thank you to me."

Huo Yiling was stunned. She did want to say thank you.

Duan Qi: "I'm not just helping you, I'm also helping myself."

After all, Huo Yiling was not an ignorant girl. She was very smart and more sensitive than ordinary lesbians. She immediately realized what he was talking about.

She looked up in surprise, meeting his pair of dark eyes filled with emotion, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably: "Duan Qi, don't talk nonsense."

Duan Qi took a step closer to her: "Huo Yiling, I told you more than ten years ago that I would marry you when I grew up."

Huo Yiling took a step back in fear, but he grabbed her arm, stopping her from increasing the distance between them: "This isn't a good place to talk. I'll wait until you get off work."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Huo Yiling was absent-minded at work all morning. When she thought of what Duan Qi said, her ears turned red and her heart beat faster.

She couldn't help but recall many scenes of their childhood. Although he didn't return to the capital often later, she still remembered their meetings on the few occasions he came back.

She admitted that Duan Qi was a very good man, there was no doubt about that.

But for what he said, she didn't dare to take that step.

She has always treated him as her younger brother, how could she... ?

Besides, he deserves a better girl and shouldn't waste his time on me. She is much older than him.

So, by the time she got off work at noon, she gradually calmed down.

But things often happen just like that.

At noon, outside the school gate, Duan Qi had just picked up Huo Yiling, and both of them were a little embarrassed.

As a man, Duan Qi must take the initiative if he wants to pursue the woman he loves.

But before he could open his mouth to speak, he suddenly heard some very subtle movement. He instinctively felt something was wrong and immediately stopped.

He pulled Huo Yiling and said softly and quickly, "Wait for me for a moment."

Then he turned and ran towards a corner behind him.
