However, Xia Yuwei fell pregnant with his child and the arrival of this child threw his emotions into disarray. He only wanted to make sure that his child would not be thrown on the streets and be labeled an illegitimate child. Most importantly, he couldn’t bear to abort his own flesh and blood, so after struggling with his conflicting emotions, he finally made the decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.

He abandoned his beloved wife and turned his back on their four-year relations.h.i.+p to marry Xia Yuwei who had tricked him from the very beginning, plotted to marry into the Mo family and lead a luxurious life.

He only had his own stupidity to blame for failing to see through her plot, ultimately looking like a fool.

The occasional sounds of fireworks could be heard outside and it was feeling more like Lunar New Year but he would be spending this new year alone.

On the eve of Lunar New Year, Ye Hao carried He Xiyan from the bed. She was becoming more lethargic these days and if no one woke her up, she could sleep till 9 or 10 in the morning.

She sat cross-legged on the sofa and constantly rubbed her eyes, then smacked her head in an effort to wake herself up.

She suddenly recalled something important, then wore her slippers to head downstairs. She had forgotten to brush her teeth and wash her face.

It was the eve of Lunar New Year, so her mother-in-law and all the help including the chef had gone home for the holidays. There were only two security guards left in the castle.

She didn’t know how Yuan Yuan was doing now that there was no one to look after him.

She grew very anxious and for the first time, she felt like a very irresponsible mother. She walked even faster, as though she would be able to generate wind with her footsteps.

She arrived at the baby’s room but did not hear her child crying, nor did she see Yuan Yuan. The room was completely empty.

“Yuan Yuan…” He Xiyan suddenly shouted her child’s name loudly, forgetting that he was still not able to speak yet.

“Yuan Yuan…” She called his name again as she searched all over for him and finally vaguely heard his voice from the balcony. She finally calmed down and when she walked over, she saw that Ye Hao was holding Yuan Yuan and he had given Yuan Yuan a pacifier as they took in the fresh outside air.

Ye Hao turned around and his tall figure almost blocked her view.

He looked at her appraisingly before his lips curved into a smile. He tried to hold back his laughter but failed and burst out laughing.

“Yuan Yuan, look at this. Doesn’t your mother look like a madwoman on the streets?” He said as he turned to look at the child’s face.

Yuan Yuan looked at his mother and his s.h.i.+ny black eyes couldn’t stop blinking. A smile hung from his chubby face and for some unknown reason, he nodded as though he could understand Ye Hao.

He Xiyan’s face darkened.

She finally realized how terrible she looked with her disheveled hair, unwashed hair, unbrushed teeth, and winter pajamas.

“I’ll go wash up, please take care of him.” She hastily combed her hair with her fingers, then continued, “Ye Hao, I won’t go to Pear Garden today since there isn’t anyone to look after Yuan Yuan.” She would stay home to care for Yuan Yuan.

“We’ll bring him along.” Ye Hao didn’t even hesitate when he shot her words down.

He Xiyan paused, then turned around to face him again, shock spreading across her face.

“No!” She shook her head without hesitation. “He can’t go!” If she brought him to Pear Garden, he would be the center of gossip of the Ye family. Yuan Yuan was not part of the Ye family, so it would be extremely awkward if he went.
