My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Chapter 195 Huo Yan's Partiality

Lin Xingran showed no sign of softening her heart and continued to press forward. She stepped forward and grabbed Deng Qiaoni by the collar, her expression extremely angry: "Teacher? Don't flatter yourself here! I warn you, stay away from Huo Yan, and don't dream of things that don't belong to you!"

Lin Xingran was very strong and Deng Qiaoni was almost unable to breathe because of her pinching.

At this moment, she suddenly stretched out her hand again, pointed at Deng Qiaoni's nose, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "You still dare to quibble! I tell you, as long as I'm here, don't even think about playing any tricks!"

Lin Xingran's voice almost broke through the roof, and she was in a state of extreme anger.

Deng Qiaoni was frightened by this sudden action and staggered, leaning back. Unfortunately, her foot was tripped and her whole body fell heavily to the ground, uttering a painful cry.

"what--"

Deng Qiaoni's eyes were instantly filled with tears. Her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her. She lay on the ground, groaning in pain, her body slightly curled up.

At this chaotic moment, Huo Yan returned from outside work. His footsteps were steady and powerful, and were particularly clear in the quiet night.

As soon as I walked into the gate of the villa, I witnessed this shocking scene.

Huo Yan's face suddenly darkened, like the sky before a storm, so dark that it made people feel scared. He walked forward quickly, his voice full of anger and confusion, and shouted angrily: "Xing Ran, what are you doing?"

Lin Xingran's eyes instantly turned red, and she shouted loudly with grievance: "Brother, you actually blamed me for this woman, is there really some unspeakable secret between you two?"

Lin Xingran's voice was tearful, full of disappointment and anger, tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

Huo Yan frowned tightly, his eyes revealed deep anger, and his tone was stern and cold: "Nonsense! She is Siqian's teacher, can you please stop being so unreasonable!"

Deng Qiaoni struggled to get up from the ground, her clothes were covered with dust, her hair was messy, and she cried, "Mr. Huo, Miss, please stop arguing. This is all my fault."

But her dissuasion not only failed to calm the storm, but instead seemed to add fuel to the fire.

Lin Xingran shouted even more excitedly: "Look, she is still pretending to be pitiful here! Brother, you must have been deceived by her!

Lin Xingran was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet hard, turned around and ran upstairs. Her footsteps echoed in the corridor, full of anger and grievance. Her back disappeared around the corner of the stairs, leaving only silence.

Huo Yan and Deng Qiaoni just stood there blankly, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Deng Qiaoni's face was as pale as paper, her lips kept trembling, and she said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Huo, I still hope to leave the Huo family, otherwise if this continues, I'm afraid it will cause more misunderstandings."

When she said this, there was a hint of expectation in Deng Qiaoni's eyes, as if she was waiting for Huo Yan to keep her. Her hands were clenched tightly together, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

However, Huo Yan said without hesitation: "No, you are the one brought back by Qiao Qin. It should be her decision whether to leave or stay."

Deng Qiaoni's face turned even uglier in an instant, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over her from head to toe. Before she could react, Huo Yan added firmly, "And I have a clear conscience." After that, he walked towards the room upstairs without looking back.

Deng Qiaoni stood there alone, looking at Huo Yan's departing back, her heart filled with entanglement and confusion.

On one side is Qiao Qin, who kindly took her in and gave her a place to stay. On the other side is Huo Yan, her husband, whom she secretly loves but belongs to Qiao Qin. She really doesn't know what to do.

As the night wind blew, Deng Qiaoni couldn't help but shiver. She subconsciously hugged her arms tightly, like a lamb lost in the darkness. Tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably again, flashing a heartbreaking light under the light.

After a long while, she slowly moved her feet, her steps unsteadily, and returned to the room like a zombie.

Deng Qiaoni slumped weakly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, tears still flowing.

She recalled every bit of her time in this villa, Miss Qiao's kindness and trust, Mr. Huo's handsomeness and charm, and Lin Xingran's hostile gaze...

"Maybe I really shouldn't stay here." She murmured to herself, her voice full of despair.

On the other side, Lin Xingran ran back to her room, threw herself on the bed and burst into tears. She felt that she was doing this for Qiao Qin's own good, but Huo Yan did not understand her. She felt aggrieved and unwilling.

"How could my brother treat me like this? Can't he see what Deng Qiaoni is thinking?" Lin Xingran said while sobbing.

Qiao Qin vaguely heard the noise outside in her sleep, but her weak body prevented her from getting up to check. She frowned in her sleep, and seemed to be affected by the uneasy atmosphere.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, but a depressing atmosphere filled the villa.

Lin Xingran didn't sleep all night and her eyes were red and swollen. She got up early but didn't know how to face other people.

Deng Qiaoni also looked very haggard, and she forced herself to prepare to teach Huo Siqian. Huo Yan was in the living room, drinking coffee silently, and seemed to be in a normal mood.

After Qiao Qin woke up, she noticed that everyone was acting strange and asked what happened. Lin Xingran hesitated to speak, Huo Yan remained silent, and Deng Qiaoni lowered her head, not daring to look Qiao Qin in the eye.

"What's the matter? You guys make me worried." Qiao Qin said anxiously.

Lin Xingran bit her lip and finally told what happened last night. Qiao Qin was stunned at first, then sighed softly.

"Xingran, you may have misunderstood Qiaoni. She is a poor child and would not have those thoughts." Qiao Qin said.

Lin Xingran widened her eyes, unable to believe that Qiao Qin would say that.

"Sister Qin, I'm not wrong. There is definitely something wrong with the way she looks at Brother Huo Yan." Lin Xingran insisted.

Qiao Qin shook her head helplessly and said, "Xingran, even if this is the case, we should give her a chance. After all, she is still young and has experienced so much hardship."

Lin Xingran was silent. She knew that Qiao Qin was kind-hearted, but she still couldn't let go of her worries.

At this time, Deng Qiaoni heard their conversation in the room, and her heart was filled with emotion and guilt.
