Chapter 14: Little Dongdong

"Oh my god, what kind of a medicine is this? It's amazing!" Looking at the peerless face in the mirror, Lin Momo opened the bath towel to reveal a stunning body. She took a moment to appreciate it. "Mommy, Mommy, I'm coming." The door flew open, and Tang Tang ran in, followed by Qin Haodong. Lin Momo always left her bedroom door unlocked to let Tang Tang come and go. She froze like a sculpture and forgot to wrap her body with the towel. Qin Haodong was also frozen. He hadn’t expected her to be naked. "Mommy, why are you naked? You're not shy at all." The little girl said, making a shy face. "What..." Lin Momo suddenly realized she was naked in front of Qin Haodong. She screamed and quickly wrapped herself with the towel. "You... why didn't you knock the door before coming in?" Lin Momo asked. "Oh... I came with Tang Tang. She didn't knock, and I just followed her," Qin Haodong then said awkwardly. "But you don't have to worry about it, Miss Lin. I didn’t see anything!" Tang Tang clapped while shouting, "Papa is not a good boy. You're lying. Your eyes were wide open just now. How could you say that you didn't even see Mommy…" Both adults looked away, speechless and utterly embarrassed. The room fell into silence. Seeing that her Papa and Mommy were silent, Tang Tang thought they didn't believe her, so she added, "Mommy, I'm not lying. You can see that Papa is still drooling over you!" Tang Tang said nervously to Qin Haodong, "Hey, Papa, Mommy is not a food. You should never eat her, or I'll have no Mommy..." Lin Momo was wrapped in a bath towel, but her collarbone and legs were still exposed. She was half-covered and half-hidden, which made her even more attractive. He hurriedly rubbed his nose with his hand, afraid that blood would be running out of it, then dashed out of the room. "Papa, don't run!" Tang Tang called behind him, but he was too embarrassed to stay. "Mommy, why did Papa run away?" she asked Lin Momo. "He... maybe he needed to use the toilet," she said, taking her daughter into the bathroom for a bath. Qin Haodong returned to the living room, made himself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly. About half an hour later, Lin Momo came back to the living room with Tang Tang. Her wet hair, rosy cheeks, and white home clothes gave her some warmth she hadn’t had around other people. After dinner, Lin Momo asked, "Doctor Qin, when will our treatment start today?" "What?" Qin Haodong was playing with the little girl, and after a moment of thinking, he recalled that he had told Lin Momo she needed further treatment, consisting of massage and acupuncture. "We can start at anytime!" he answered. "Since we both have busy schedules, let's get started now!" Lin Momo wanted Qin Haodong to leave after the massage. Between Tang Tang calling them Mommy and Papa, the miracle medicine, and Qin Haodong seeing her naked, she felt really weird. "I want to do it, too! I want to do it, too!" Tang Tang cried. "What do you want?" Qin Haodong asked. "I want to do Mommy some massage and cure her illness." "Great. Let's treat your mother together." Qin Haodong took the little girl's hand and came to her room with Lin Momo. After Lin Momo lay down on the bed, Qin Haodong began to massage her from her head, and the little girl followed his method to massage Lin Momo's feet. Lin Momo didn’t really need any follow-up treatment — he just wanted to get close to her. The massage he provided was a simple health-care method. He used the Green Wood Genuine Qi to recuperate her body. Lin Momo lay face down on the bed and felt the big and small hands on her body. She was a bit nervous at First, but eventually found herself enjoying it. It would be wonderful if the three of them were really a family, but the damn man had disappeared for so many years. She sighed, but the feeling of disappointment quickly was overwhelmed by the comfort of Qin Haodong's massage. After a while, Qin Haodong sopke. "Miss Lin, I've finished massaging your back, please turn over." Tang Tang chimed in with, "Papa, you shouldn't talk to mommy like this." "What should I say?" Qin Haodong asked, looking at his daughter with interest. "I see on TV that children's papas always call their mommy dear or baby..." the little girl said with a serious look. "Uh..." Qin Haodong looked at Lin Momo and didn't know how to answer it. He didn’t mind, but he was certain Lin Momo would. Lin Momo's cheeks turned red, and she said to the little girl, "Tang Tang, what you see on TV isn’t real; it’s just acting. You can't take it seriously!" "But, in our kindergarten, kids' papas don't call their mommies Miss!" "This..." Lin Momo originally wanted to tell Tang Tang that she and Qin Haodong were different from other parents, but then she saw the little girl's eager face and knew that she just wanted to have a normal family, with parents that loved her. She didn’t know what to say. After a moment of hesitation, Lin Momo turned to Qin Haodong. "Doctor Qin, why don’t you call me Sister Lin from now on?" Before Qin Haodong could speak, Tang Tang said again, "No! No! He can't call you sister. Our teacher has said that close relatives can't get married! Mommy, you can't call my Papa Doctor Qin. It sounds doesn’t sound like a family at all." Qin Haodong was delighted. His daughter was doing exactly what he wanted without even knowing it! "What do you think we should do? Anyway, we can't call each other like the couples on TV," Lin Momo said with annoyance. Tang Tang seriously thought for a moment about it and said, "Mommy calls Papa Little Dongdong, and Papa calls Mommy Little Momo. Then, we could sound like a family." "Err... Little Dongdong..." Lin Momo was embarrassed. She could not utter such an intimate name. "No! No! That name doesn’t work." "But it was you who let me think of a name. I did what you said, but you won't listen..." the little girl said and puckered her mouth with grievance, as if she was about to cry. "Don't cry, Tang Tang. Papa will think of a way to solve it." Qin Haodong appeased the little girl and turned back to Lin Momo. "What about you call me Haodong and I call you Momo from today?" Looking at her daughter, who was about to cry, Lin Momo nodded helplessly. "Let's do that, then." Qin Haodong looked at his daughter and asked, "Tang Tang, is that okay?" The little girl immediately changed her look of despair and jumped up again happily. "Yes! It makes us like a family." Since the matter was solved, Qin Haodong continued to give Lin Momo massage. This time, Lin Momo lay face up on the bed. Her delicate face and tempting figure made Qin Haodong feel hot. He hurriedly swallowed a few times. If Tang Tang saw him drool over Lin Momo again, he would be very embarrassed. There were many taboos to doing massage on one's front. Qin Haodong controlled his hands with great willpower and avoided touching her sensitive parts as much as possible. "Dad, you are not careful in massaging; you haven't massaged here!" Tang Tang said as she patted Lin Momo's chest. "Uh..." "Papa, press here. It feels so good. I always put my hands here when I sleep at night." Lin Momo's face was almost as red as blood. She could not wait to turn over and hide her face. It was too embarrassing. However, Qin Haodong didn’t notice her embarrassment; he was jealous of Tang Tang. Lin Momo wanted to give up the treatment of massage, but, afraid that it would affect her recovery, she said, "Tang Tang, go find your grandfather to play with him for a while, will you?" The little girl answered, "I don't want to play with grandpa; I want to do massage with Papa to cure your illness." Qin Haodong leaned down to whisper in Tang Tang's ear, and then, the little girl said happily, "Okay! Okay! I'm going to play with grandpa, and you have to hurry up, Papa and Mommy!" Then she ran out of the room and shut the door. "Okay, let's finish the treatment!” Qin Haodong said, resuming the massage. Lin Momo was very curious about what Qin Haodong had said to the little girl, so she asked, "What did you say to Tang Tang?" "Nothing, just some casual words!" "Impossible. Tell me what you said to her." Lin Momo had a bad feeling. if Qin Haodong hadn’t said something strange, Tang Tang would not have left so quickly. "Are you sure you want to hear it?" Qin Haodong asked with a meaningful expression on his face.
