Chapter 404: Why Did You Meet Them?

He Xiyan froze for a moment and bit her lips tightly. She felt her entire heart clench at the employee’s words.

He had already knocked off work but he was still not home.

The employee continued, “Mrs. Ye, why don’t you drop Mr. Ye a call?” He could see how anxious she was and guessed that she was looking for him because of something urgent.

He Xiyan gripped her cell phone so tightly that it was as though she was about to squeeze it into pieces. She unlocked her phone and paused for a moment before she tried dialing his number again.

The familiar ringtone rang in her ears and as the seconds ticked by… she was practically counting the seconds it took for him to pick up his phone. Suddenly, the ringtone came to an abrupt halt and a familiar voice sounded.

“I’ll be back soon. Rest well first.”

Then, the line was cut off and He Xiyan didn’t even manage to get a word in.

She stood in the reception hall and kept blinking her teary eyes. She ended up staying so long that it wasn’t until the employee lay down at his desk to rest that she turned to leave this building.

Since she didn’t know where else he could have gone, she could only return back to the castle.

This time, she drove very slowly and it took her twice the amount of time to return to the castle.

When she returned, she saw that the lights in their room were lit and the moment she entered, the pungent scent of alcohol and smoke immediately greeted her.

She stopped in surprise and turned to look at the man who sat on the sofa with his eyes tightly closed. That was her husband, so she could tell at first glance how annoyed and upset he was.

“Ye Hao…” she said as she approached him and took the seat next to him. Then, she plucked out the lit cigarette from his fingers.

She reached out to wrap her arms around his arms and rested her head against his shoulder, “Don’t be angry, okay?” Her voice was a little hoa.r.s.e and she sounded upset as well.

She knew that he must have been extremely angry to have resorted to drinking and smoking.

Ye Hao’s brows were tightly knitted and his face was flushed because of the alcohol. His lips were also tightly pursed and he ignored her and refused to open his eyes.

“Let me get you some hangover soup,” she said when she saw that he was ignoring her. As she rose to her feet, a hand shot out to grip her wrist tightly.

“Tell me, why did you meet them?” Ye Hao suddenly opened his dark and stormy eyes and his eyes were completely bloodshot.

He Xiyan paused for a moment and fell back onto the sofa as he dragged her back down. Then, she turned to look into his eyes that were blazing with such fury that he looked a little terrifying.

She finally understood how angry he was when she saw his bloodshot eyes.

“I…” she started and clenched her jaw. “I only wanted to discuss the matter of Yuan Yuan with them. I don’t want them to continue to hara.s.s us.”

She didn’t want to meet them either but if she didn’t meet them, they would definitely create a commotion at the castle, or get in her way when she left the place.

“Then why didn’t you let me know in advance? Why did you have to meet them alone?” Ye Hao said angrily. This time, he forcefully turned her face to face him and she could see that his eyes were blazing with anger. He had been extremely enraged because of this – the fact that his wife went to meet her ex-husband and mother-in-law behind his back drove him crazy.

This was especially so since he knew that both mother and son were up to no good and Mo Yixuan longed to tear his family apart. He knew what they were up to and furthermore, Yuan Yuan was also his son, so they should both be present for any matter pertaining to Yuan Yuan.
