Chapter 648: An Infallible Excuse
He Xiyan just finished a bowl of noodles. With no appetite, she could only force herself to eat. Yesterday she lost control of her emotions and made a mess of the house. Now there was no place left to stand in the house.
She squatted on the ground and began to pick up the pieces of broken cups and bowls. Because of her absence of mind, her fingers, cut by glass fragments, bled a little. But as if having not found that, she continued to pick, and then returned those messy things to their original positions. Then she found a mop and began to mop the ground. She mopped the floor over and over again until she heard a knock outside the door. Then she stopped her repeated actions.
“Who is it?” As she walked towards the door, she asked the knocker outside. After all, there was no monitor or a peephole on the door.
“Knock knock…” The person outside the door knocked twice again.
Then came a little child’s voice.
“Mom… Mom, open the door…”
Was that Yuanyuan?
He Xiyan was stunned, her eyes suddenly wide open. Under the light, she immediately looked different, full of shock and incredibility.
She was too familiar with the voice.
With no response, Yuanyuan shouted again, “Mom…”
He Xiyan felt that her heart was about to burst. Instinctively, she reached out her hand and touched the door handle, turning it immediately without control.
The door opened.
The moment the door was opened, she saw her child, and of course, the tall man behind the child.
Seeing that it was really his mom who was behind the door, Yuanyuan immediately held her leg happily, sticking to his mom.
“Mom… Hug!” Yuanyuan stretched out his arms happily, looking up at his mom, eyes full of expectations.
Dad didn’t deceive him. Mom was really here.
He Xiyan was stunned at the door. She looked at Yuanyuan, and then at Mo Yixuan behind Yuanyuan, his ex-husband.
Mo Yixuan stood there, a gentle smile hanging around his mouth. He carried a big bag in his hand, which contained a steak he had packed on the way here and a cup of milk tea. They were all what He Xiyan liked to eat.
“Yanyan…” He took a step forward, intending to hold her hand.
He Xiyan, however, stepped back vigilantly, looking at the man in front of her with surprise and alertness.
“What are you doing here?” She asked angrily.
She could not figure out what this man was doing here and why he always haunted her like a ghost.
She had nothing now, no husband, no family nor her children’s custody.
Her life had been chaotic enough. She just wanted to be quiet by herself. Why couldn’t he stop disturbing her?
Seeing her mother unhappy, Yuanyuan also became upset. He pursed his little mouth and retracted his little hand sadly. Then he went to dad’s side and blinked his eyes as if he were about to cry.
Mo Yixuan smiled apologetically, but took another step forward. In fact, he just wanted to accompany her and improve their relationship.
But upon seeing her surprise and vigilance, he could not open his mouth.
“It’s Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan has been crying and shouting for mom.” With a smile, he could only shamelessly use their child as an excuse again.
In fact, he had no idea how many times he had used their child as a pretext to get closer to her.
