Chapter 1214: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (9)

It was such an eyesore that he felt the rims of his eyes swelling.

He suddenly recalled that this was what she had been like on their own wedding night, that shyness…

The moment the thought came to him, an overwhelming sense of possessiveness overtook him.

Shen Xiu narrowed his eyes. The fury calmed him in a strange way, but also deepened his viciousness.

He looked at the people in the room and saw that they had no intention of engaging with him. Hence, he turned around and left.

After he disappeared from the courtyard, the group that had been noisily discussing a moment a ago stopped talking at once.

They turned simultaneously to look at the doorway. Shen Zihao snorted icily as he gave Li Tianyu a glance. After this, he turned around and went back to his own room.

Immediately, Li Tianyu and Li Mao felt awkward and exchanged a glance. Li Mao quickly said, “Yehua, I guess we should leave today. We won’t hold you up any longer. Why don’t you discuss it with the children? On my end, everything is fine. I’ll go with whatever you want!”

Upon hearing those last few words, Qiao Lian couldn’t help whistling and remarking, “Ooooooh, whatever you want.”

Xia Yehua turned red again very quickly and said, “Xiao Qiao, you’re being very naughty!”

Qiao Lian stuck her tongue out at Xia Yehua before she threw a glance at Li Mao.

The man scratched his head in embarra.s.sment and followed Li Tianyu into the car.

After getting into the car, instead of driving off immediately, Li Mao wound down the car window and said, “Yehua, I’ll come and see you tomorrow.”

“What for?” Xia Yehua replied fiercely.

Li Mao laughed and said, “Just to see you!”

“You don’t have to see me every day!”

“In that case, I’ll come the day after tomorrow then.”

Xia Yehua was speechless.

After the Li’s drove away, Qiao Lian, unable to contain herself any longer, finally burst out laughing.

She found the interaction between Xia Yehua and Li Mao too adorable!

She laughed, shaking her head, and then noticed that Xia Yehua’s expression had calmed down after Li Mao left. The woman asked, “How is Zihao doing?”

Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and said, “He should be fine.”

After a pause, Xia Yehua said, “I’ll go have a chat with him.”

–

Upstairs, in the study.

Shen Zihao was on the sofa browsing the news on his cell phone.

The door opened with a creak.

At once, Xia Yehua appeared holding a gla.s.s of water. She walked over and sat next to Shen Zihao.

“Zihao, here, drink some water.”

Shen Zihao took the gla.s.s of water and drank two sips before placing the gla.s.s on the side table, saying, “Thanks, Mom.”

He continued staring at his cell phone and didn’t seem to want to talk. She swallowed her words.

Then she got onto her feet and walked slowly towards the door.

But at the doorway, she suddenly turned to look at her son again. “Zihao, there are some things that I’ve never told you. But today, I realize that you’ve grown up and you have the ability to make your own judgments. Hence, I still want to tell you about what happened.”

Shen Zihao paused.

Xia Yehua turned and walked back to sit next to him. “In the past, you were living with your father, so I did not want to ruin the image you had of him. That was why I never told you.

The woman cast her gaze down and calmly explained, “At the time, it was your big brother who discovered that your father and Mei Feng were having an affair. After he came home and told me about it, he was beaten up very badly by your father. You know that your father has never liked him. Eventually, your big brother wanted to set up the eSports team club, and it reached the point that your father tied him up and beat him.”
