267: Chapter 267 Be good to me for a lifetime

The little girl wore two small, delicate pigtails, revealing a smooth and beautiful forehead.

Her eyes were large, with deep-set double eyelids.

Her nose bridge was high and straight, yet still delicate and petite, with perfectly shaped lips, bearing a striking resemblance to Huo Sixian.

The little girl was dressed in a small red floral-print dress, looking to be about three years old.

She was different from the little girl who had appeared in Ye Qingqing's previous dream, yet somewhat similar.

But similarly, this little girl was also sweetly calling out to Ye Qingqing: "Mommy."

Looking at the little girl, Ye Qingqing instinctively wanted to imprint her appearance deeply in her mind.

Yet, at the same time, Ye Qingqing also felt somewhat afraid of that little girl.

She even instinctively tried to avoid the little girl upon hearing her repeatedly call her Mommy.

Ye Qingqing simply dared not look at the little girl.

Frantically, Ye Qingqing covered her ears, but the little girl's voice was incredibly penetrating.

The childish, milky voice directly assaulted Ye Qingqing's eardrums.

The face of the little girl from the dream kept floating before Ye Qingqing's eyes, gradually overlapping with the face she had seen before.

Two faces, two voices, gradually intertwined.

"Mommy."

"Mommy."

Two little girls were calling for Mommy separately.

Simultaneously, a twisted expression appeared in Ye Qingqing's gaze.

Gradually, the little girl in Ah Huang suddenly stopped, standing there looking at Ye Qingqing: "Mommy, why don't you want me anymore?"

But after the little girl in Ah Huang finished speaking, the little girl in the red floral dress also stood still in place: "Mommy, why don't you like me?"

Upon hearing the two little girls question her, Ye Qingqing instantly woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, Ah Huang's big dog head instantly appeared before Ye Qingqing.

It scared Ye Qingqing so much she nearly screamed.

Fortunately, in the nightmare just now, Ye Qingqing had already endured enough fright.

In comparison, Ye Qingqing managed to suppress the scream.

However, Ah Huang's eyes were filled with deep concern.

Because at this moment, Ye Qingqing was drenched in sweat from head to toe.

The hair on her forehead, mixed with sweat, clung wetly to her skin.

Her chest heaved violently, and her gaze couldn't focus on a single point.

Ah Huang worriedly lay beside Ye Qingqing, making whimpering sounds.

Only after a long while did Ye Qingqing finally regain her senses.

Then she began to breathe heavily, in big gasps.

But the faces of the two little girls lingered in Ye Qingqing's mind, unable to disperse for a long time.

Gradually, Ye Qingqing felt a sense of exhaustion.

The kind of exhaustion born from feeling at a loss about a situation.

Meanwhile, Huo Sixian outside the space was also suffering.

The scene of Ye Qingqing saying she didn't want a child kept replaying in his mind.

Deng Jiayu walked over to Huo Sixian's side and sat down gently.

"Xiao Huo, Qingqing, that child, might have been suddenly frightened. Don't think too much about it. When I was young and found out I was pregnant, I was scared too."

"Scared that I wouldn't be able to raise a child well, and scared that I wouldn't know how to be a mother."

"Xiao Huo, I know you are a very good child and treat Qingqing very well. Please give Qingqing some time, okay?"

Huo Sixian's eyes were rimmed with red. It wasn't that he didn't hear Deng Jiayu's words.

Rather, Huo Sixian's body couldn't move at all.

His entire nervous system seemed to be held hostage by his body.

He couldn't even manage the action of responding to Deng Jiayu.

His throat was frighteningly hoarse.

Seeing Huo Sixian like this, Deng Jiayu sighed silently in her heart.

Then she got up and left. Ye Qingqing needed time, and Huo Sixian needed time too.

Huo Cunsheng and Pei Siyuan watched Huo Sixian secretly from the side.

But neither chose to step forward.

Only Mo Wangchuan suffered.

He had been waiting in Huo Sixian's living room the whole time.

Unable to leave, yet unable to stay...

It seemed as if everything that happened was because of him.

At this moment, Mo Wangchuan wished he had never come.

He should be under the car... not in Huo Sixian's house...

Ye Qingqing stayed alone in the space all night.

She sat there, not moving a muscle.

Just sitting there blankly, with no thoughts at all.

Ah Huang was also extremely patient, sitting with Ye Qingqing in the same spot.

Not moving either.

Just silently watching Ye Qingqing.

Only when the morning sun rose the next day did Ye Qingqing finally leave the space.

But the moment she stepped out, she met Huo Sixian's bloodshot eyes.

Huo Sixian had sat rigidly in place all night.

Like Ye Qingqing, his thoughts in turmoil, just sitting there blankly.

When Ye Qingqing first saw Huo Sixian upon leaving the space, her heartbeat noticeably quickened.

But then, she calmed down again.

With a hoarse voice: "I..."

However, before Ye Qingqing could finish her sentence, Huo Sixian suddenly seized her forcefully.

Ye Qingqing was completely pinned down on the bed by Huo Sixian.

She felt the violent aura emanating from him.

Immediately after, Huo Sixian suddenly began kissing Ye Qingqing wildly, like a mad dog.

As if by immersing himself in that kiss with Ye Qingqing, he could forget all the previous unpleasantness.

Upon touching the familiar lips, past memories flooded back like a tide.

Light pecks, lingering tenderness, hooking, entwining, sucking...

Huo Sixian used every trick he knew, just to linger with Ye Qingqing in this momentary, tender kiss.

A long while later, only when Ye Qingqing was breathing rapidly and could hardly catch her breath did Huo Sixian reluctantly release her.

A long, transparent thread of saliva stretched between their lips.

Each could see the other's reflection in their eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

In this moment, there was only each other in their eyes.

Like a hot spring in the dead of winter, both bitingly cold and fiercely hot.

Huo Sixian's eyes were bloodshot, his hoarse voice carrying a gritty texture: "Qingqing, I was wrong. You can do whatever you want. I only want you."

Huo Sixian's deep voice reached Ye Qingqing's ears. Suddenly, she felt she had been too overly sensitive, as if all her previous worries had become very, very small matters at this moment.

Simultaneously, an overwhelming sense of guilt also surged into Ye Qingqing's chest, suffocating her.

"Huo Sixian." Ye Qingqing's voice carried a hint of a sob.

Huo Sixian's powerful arms pulling Ye Qingqing tightly into his embrace was the response: "I'm here."

Ye Qingqing suddenly burst into loud, wailing tears.

Her hands pounded forcefully on Huo Sixian's back: "Swear you'll be good to me forever."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Huo Sixian felt as if his heart were being pricked by needles, aching with pain.
