“Oh,” He Xiyan said coldly and her expression didn’t change much.
She didn’t care whether they were to return home, or the day after.
She rose to her feet and threw the bowl of noodle soup away, then went back to her bedroom, took a warm bath and continued sleeping.
She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to sleep, so she took several sleeping pills and after the pills took effect, she sank into a deep sleep and was completely unaware of her surroundings.
The next day around 11 AM, two luxury sedan cars drove into the castle and seven or eight people hopped out of the car, including Ye Hao, Housekeeper Lu, the nanny, wet nurse, Xi Xi, and two bodyguards.
The wet nurse carried Xi Xi who was sobbing loudly. It was as though Xi Xi had gotten a fright aboard the aircraft and she kept crying loudly while her small face was completely flushed.
“It’s okay, Xi Xi. We’re home now. Don’t cry, don’t cry…” the wet nurse said as she quickly walked ahead of the rest. She was rushing to give Xi Xi a bath, then feed her some milk since she guessed that the child was probably hungry.
Ye Hao was right at the end of the group. His lips were pursed tightly and his face was dark and livid while a storm brewed in his amber-colored eyes.
“Where is the madam?” he turned and asked the bodyguard A-Mu who had been tasked to look after the castle.
A-Mu shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. She might be sleeping.” Mrs. Ye was constantly asleep these few days and she hadn’t emerged from her bedroom other than the time she came down to eat something last night.
Ye Hao’s thick brows slammed tightly together, his eyes narrowed while his face turned pale. The muscles in his face ticked slightly as though he was trying to rein in his emotions that had been brewing for a while.
He didn’t probe further but climbed up the spiral stairs to the third floor. His leather shoes clicked loudly against the floorboards and his movements seemed hurried, reflecting his current state of agitation.
He immediately pressed his finger against the fingerprint detector and soon, the door to their shared bedroom opened and he entered.
The room was extremely quiet and he couldn’t hear anything else other than the sounds of even breathing. He quickly spotted the woman who was sleeping motionlessly on the bed. This was his wife, his wife whom he had neglected over the past few days.
“He Xiyan…” Ye Hao shouted loudly and sharply. He didn’t understand how she could be in the mood to be sleeping in broad daylight.
However, He Xiyan who was deep asleep did not hear him. She didn’t even stir as she continued to sleep. The medication had caused her to sleep very soundly.
Ye Hao’s eyes burned brightly in anger and his anger only intensified when he looked at the woman on the bed. He felt as though every cell in his body had been ignited.
He suddenly swept her blanket off the bed and threw it hard onto the ground. Then, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her off the bed.
He Xiyan, who was still sound asleep, did not realize what had happened. Her knees hit the ground first when she fell off the bed and her head hit the side of the bedside table with a loud thump.
That hurt.
He Xiyan’s eyes immediately fluttered opened and she rubbed at her sore spot.
Then, she finally noticed a pair of slim and masculine legs and his black and shiny shoes.
She felt very dizzy and didn’t even know that this man had yanked her out of bed.
