This was the first time she had told him so many things since their divorce and after she finished speaking, her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at this empty house.
This house might be old but it was her house. There used to be a family of four living here but now, she was all alone.
This used to be a warm place of refuge but now, it was cold and empty.
Mo Yixuan bowed his head and sorrow and pain instantly filled his face. His face was as cold as ice and was without any warmth.
Her words were like a shower of arrows raining down on his heart and the line that hurt the most was when she said that not all couples would end up living together to a ripe old age. His heart felt like it was being ripped into shreds.
He lifted his head to look at her and saw that her figure had turned blurry. He knew that she was near him but she seemed so far away.
“Yan Yan, do you love him?” he finally asked the question he had been most afraid to ask and it was as though all the light had left his face.
If she didn’t love him anymore, could it be because of Ye Hao?
He Xiyan froze and suddenly frowned. She bit her lips tightly and did not respond for a long time.
She mulled over the question.
Was it love? She thought for a moment and finally nodded her head.
She guessed that it must be love. Otherwise, she would have never had the courage to move into the castle and marry into the Ye family.
It didn’t matter who she loved since all she wanted was to be with her child and love was secondary to her.
Mo Yixuan was silent and he felt like his heart had plummeted into a cold ocean the moment she nodded. He couldn’t stop his hands that were placed on his legs from trembling, as though he was having a convulsion.
He bit his lips tightly and remained silent for a long while. Then, there were hurried footsteps at the door and the sounds of people talking.
“Is this it?” Li Qin asked as she pointed at the red and worn door.
To her, this tiny district and this old door, made it seem like she was at the slums.
The real estate employee nodded and said, “Aunty, I’m certain that this is the unit that you’ve mentioned.” They had already seen who the owner of this property was from the computer systems.
Li Qin stretched out her hand and knocked on the door eagerly. She had brought her brother Li Yunsheng, the two maids of the house and a security guard. Li Yunsheng had used his connections and thus, they were also accompanied by seven or eight local policemen.
When she heard that her son was here and that her grandson might also possibly be here, she had immediately booked herself an air ticket at 3 AM that morning. She only wanted to bring her grandson home.
How could she let her grandson live in such a dilapidated house? There could be mice or cockroaches roaming around.
“Open up…” Li Qin yelled loudly as she pounded on that wooden door. If it wasn’t for her poor health, she would have kicked at the door.
He Xiyan’s eyes widened and the pounding sounds at the door seemed to be drumming at her heart as well. She looked at the door warily and her eyes were filled with anger and shock. She put Yuan Yuan beside her and grabbed Mo Yixuan’s hand forcefully.
“You can’t open the door, you can’t,” she said angrily, practically squeezing those words out from her throat and her eyes were completely bloodshot.
Yuan Yuan was also very frightened, so he curled himself up into a ball and stayed close to his mother.
He didn’t know who was at the door but he knew that someone was coming.
