Chapter 1145: I Wouldn’t Be Able to Give You What You’re After (1)

He Xiyan wanted to smack him with a slipper.

“Who let you in?” He Xiyan ignored the fact that both her children were beside her. She hated how he tried to stick to her side and would come to the castle without even notifying her in advance.

Ye Hao smiled sheepishly. He was not angered because she had yelled at him as though he would no longer be angered by his ex-wife’s actions.

Xi Xi ran over to her father’s side and tugged on his trousers.

“Mom, I asked dad to come over to be here on my birthday,” she said with a smile. Her excitement and happiness were reflected on her fair face. She had invited more than ten cla.s.smates to her house to celebrate her birthday.

He Xiyan froze on the spot and the anger in her eyes faded a little at her daughter’s words but she still couldn’t stand the sight of Ye Hao.

She didn’t want to speak to him.

She knew that it was Xi Xi’s birthday tomorrow and this was why she asked to be discharged from the hospital two days in advance. She wanted to be by her daughter’s side on her birthday no matter how weak she felt.

She had already asked Qin Xiaoyu to buy fresh flowers, balloons, and some toys for the children two days ago. Xi Xi said that she would be inviting friends over, so she had already made the necessary preparations.

Ye Hao led his daughter to He Xiyan’s side. He continued to smile happily and his handsome face didn’t seem as aloof as it used to be. Instead, he seemed more approachable.

“Yan Yan, I’ve brought some quail soup over. Why don’t you head to the dining hall to drink some soup first?” Ye Hao said in concern and with an elegant smile. Although Yan Yan did not want to accept his feelings, she no longer kept his at arm’s length. He thought that it was only a matter of time before she returned to him.

“There’s no need for you to do this, Ye Hao,” He Xiyan said as she glanced at her ex-husband. She felt a little annoyed. The more her ex-husbands tried to please her, the more upset she felt.

All she wanted was for them to stop bothering her.

Ye Hao smiled softly and acted as though she didn’t say anything. Then, he added, “Go on, drink up. It wouldn’t taste nice once it has gone cold.”

Xi Xi added, “You should drink some soup, mom… then you will feel better.”

Xi Xi didn’t want her mother to fall sick and her mother currently seemed very weak and her face was pale.

He Xiyan heaved a long sigh. She hesitated for a moment before she turned and left.

She caught the fragrant scent from the soup the moment she walked into the dining hall.

She looked at the dining table and spotted a piping hot bowl of quail soup. The soup was thick and gave off a fragrant scent.

She looked at the bowl of soup and debated whether or not she should drink it. A few seconds later, she finally sat on the chair, scooped some soup, and drank it.

Although she was extremely annoyed at Ye Hao, she knew that he was genuinely concerned about her. Perhaps he genuinely cared about her, otherwise, he didn’t need to work at pleasing her with his current status. He might have been twice-divorced but he could always find a young, beautiful woman to be his next wife.

She drank a few more mouthfuls. She was hungry and needed to eat something nouris.h.i.+ng to lift her spirits.

The soup was very sweet and there were goji berries, Chinese chestnuts, red dates, and Chinese yam. It was a very nouris.h.i.+ng bowl of soup.

“Did it taste good?” she heard an irritating voice by her ear after she spent 1.5 hours drinking the soup.

She did not respond but continued drinking. Then, she ate several pieces of quail meat.

Ye Hao stared at her tenderly and smiled softly as he stood beside her.
