Mo Yixuan stared at the photo on the phone for a long time, he frowned tightly, and his black eyes were terribly cold as if covered in snow.
Bang…
He smashed his fist heavily on the desk, nearly busting a hole on it.
“Goddamned woman,” he snorted coldly. His blood boiled as fury rose within him.
“Check thoroughly and find uncover records of all the calls and messages between Xia Yuwei and that man.”
He took out his phone and sent his lawyer a message.
He would like to find out how much she had hidden from him, how many lies she had told.
——
It had been closed to the end of the year, Ye City was shrouded in cold air and the snow was falling thick and heavy in the evening.
It snowed heavily, and within two hours Ye City was a vast expanse of white. The meteorological observatory issued an emergency notice; Ye City would continue to snow heavily for three days. They warned that the public must avoid going out as much as possible in these three days, also announcing that a large number of streets would be closed tomorrow.
The Ye City government issued an emergency notice, requiring all educational units to suspend classes, attractions in Ye City to be urgently closed, and outdoor construction to cease, in addition to mandating that most enterprises and institutions, and all factories, cease operations during the storm.
He Xiyan was on her way back to the castle. She brought two servants to accompany her while shopping. She shopped until the cart was full, there were quite a lot of New Year’s goods, food, clothing and so on.
It was snowing heavily, and the streets of the Ye City were jammed. They drove around the city for two hours before they entered the suburbs.
She phoned Ye Hao tensely.
“Are you out of work? Come back soon, okay?” she pleaded anxiously. The traffic was terribly bad. If he hadn’t come back now, she didn’t know when he would be able to get home.
It wasn’t a man’s deep voice that replied, but the babble of a baby.
“Oh, Ya, Eh….”
Sitting on the crib, Yuanyuan was alone in the room. He saw a dark object in front of him light up suddenly, his little fingers kept touching it while he babbled.
He Xiyan was stunned at first, but soon she knew that it must be Yuanyuan. She hung up the phone and her tension vanished.
Why did Ye Hao give the phone to Yuanyuan, wasn’t he afraid of it breaking?
Ye Hao came out from the bathroom. He was unable to coax the child, so he played the video of a funny dog and left it for Yuanyuan to watch.
He held Yuanyuan in one arm, and with the other hand gave He Xiyan a message.
Yuanyuan seemed to be hungry. He rubbed his face against his chest until his sweater was full of saliva. Nanny had went out with He Xiyan, the child was supposed to be taken care of by the servants, but neither of them were around.
He heard the child crying when he got home.
Is he hungry? He looked at the saliva on his clothes and threw the baby into the crib again.
Turning around, he went to the table and got a bottle. Without washing, he poured a few spoonfuls of milk powder into it and added some hot water. He shook it twice. It was terribly out of proportion and too condensed. But he couldn’t see it, so he just fed him.
Yuanyuan was very hungry, he wasn’t picky about his food. He drank the strong milk delightedly, and giggled at the man beside him.
Ye Hao pinched Yuanyuan’s small face, and blinked his amber eyes several times suddenly with a hint of doubt.
Someday if the Mo family uncovers the existence of Yuanyuan, and they intend to take away the child, will He Xiyan choose me, or…?
His face darkened when he considered the latter.
It seemed that there was something he had to do as soon as possible.
