Ye Hao had taken off his coat. He lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with bloodshot eyes.
He Xiyan came to his side, feeling quite complex with a condensation of emotions there in her heart.
“You don’t like him, do you?” At last she could not help asking.
To tell the truth, his indifferent attitude like this really made her feel disappointed to the extreme.
Ye Hao leaned over and pulled his wife in front, motioning her to sit down. He knew that she was misunderstanding him.
He sighed, and after a while, he said, “I have a cold, while the child’s immune system was weak. I am afraid that I will pass the cold to Yuanyuan when sleeping together. So I will not sleep in the bed, and you accompany the child to sleep.” He said lightly, his voice quite hoarse.
He Xiyan was stunned. When she heard his reason, the tension and pain in her heart slowly faded away.
She hoped that it was she who thought too much.
She sat down, caressing his hot forehead sympathetically. Although he had taken the medicine, it would probably take five or six hours before the fever broke.
“Why not let Yuanyuan sleep in Xixi’s room?”
After a while, she said so. Having not accompanied her child for a long time, she really wanted to sleep with Yuanyuan. However, she couldn’t bear to see him sleeping in the sofa, for fear that his cold would be worse.
Ye Hao shook his hand, saying, “It’s okay, Yanyan. Go and take a bath. Prepare some food in the room for Yuanyuan to eat. He’s sure to wake up at night and cry for food.”
Ye Hao reminded her. One reason why he got angry today was because of Ye Yi and his father. Then he got the news from butler Lu that Yanyan went to Mo family and even went in. Then she took Yuanyuan to the amusement park and spent the whole afternoon there with Mo Yixuan, which made him even more irritable.
It was not that he didn’t want her to go to see the child, but that he didn’t want her to step into Mo family again or to have anything to do with Mo Yixuan.
“Yanyan…” Ye Hao took her hands and held them tightly. The hot temperature in his hands passed through her fingertips to her body. He coughed twice in a low voice and said, “Let Qin Xiaoyu and driver Wang go together to Mo family every weekend to take Yuanyuan back, to bring Yuanyuan home to play for one day every week.”
In this way, she could not only see her child frequently but also avoid seeing Mo Yixuan again.
He Xiyan responded with “oh”. His suggestion was very good, but she knew very well that the driver and Qin Xiaoyu would not be able to bring back the child. Li Qin, as she was, would not even allow the gate to be opened, let alone letting them get into the castle to bring Yuanyuan back.
Today, she carried Yuanyuan out by force.
On the luxurious leather bed, Yuanyuan suddenly opened a pair of round eyes. He looked around and found that he was not sleeping in his father’s room, nor in his grandmother’s room. To him, this place seemed familiar but unfamiliar as well.
“Dad…” Yuanyuan suddenly shouted, ducking out of the bed suddenly.
He Xiyan and Ye Hao were stunned almost the same time, both looking at Yuanyuan in surprise.
He Xiyan was much surprised that the first person Yuanyuan called after waking up was his father. Of course, she knew that this father referred not to Ye Hao but Mo Yixuan.
In the eyes of little Yuanyuan, however, the role of father had completely changed within one month and more. Besides, this call of father, she could also hear, showed the child’s increasing reliance on his own father.
