Chapter 26: Forgot to Thank Him

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

There was nothing left of He Xiyan in the house, as if she had never lived here.

He looked down at the woman in his arms, this woman whom he had chosen over another. This woman had once moved him and his heart had even wavered because of her, but at this moment, he just could not bring himself to be happy. “I’m sorry, Yuwei…” he finally opened his mouth and said the same apologetic words.

Xia Yuwei’s arms tightened around him.

“It is okay, Yixuan.” She pat his back gently and said in an understanding tone. “I know you would not be able to forget Miss He for the time being but that is okay. I’m sure that this family would be even more blissful once we are together. I will love you more than she ever did.” She said with a straight face. She could bear Yixuan a child and earn the favor of his mother, but that woman could not.

She suddenly placed his hand on her belly. It was still very flat, but their baby was growing within it.

Yixuan’s fingers shook slightly when he touched her. He closed his eyes and let out sigh, not knowing what to say.

So be it. Since this was his choice, what else could he do?

As for Yanyan, he had let her down. His only wish was that this girl would love herself and live happily in the future. He had given her so much money, she would be able to lead a life free of worries.

——

It was 2AM the next day when He Xiyan came to. She rubbed at her swollen eyes and took in her surroundings.

There weren’t many people left in the movie theatre and there were only a few employees left cleaning up the place.

She sat up on the bench and slowly started to recall what she had gone through yesterday.

She remembered that she followed a young couple to this movie theatre, as though she had been in a trance. Then, she watched a film where her life was so similar to the main character’s that she started crying halfway during the movie. A man had carried her out after that incident.

Where was he now?

He Xiyan stood up and her gaze swept across the area as if she was searching for something. She did not see that man anywhere.

A young usher walked over.

“Oh…you are finally awake.” The usher said in relief. She had been contemplating whether the police should be notified since this woman had been lying here for three to four hours and no one had been able to wake her up.

He Xiyan looked at the girl in front of her and said in confusion, “What about the man that had carried me out? Is he still here?”

She looked at the expensive coat around her shoulders. She knew it was expensive because she remembered that she bought Yixuan a coat from the same brand. This coat probably cost $2,000.

“He had left a while ago. The movie you were watching had ended more than two hours ago. He left when he saw that you were still sleeping after the movie ended.”

Oh, so he had left.

He Xiyan continued to stare at the coat around her shoulders.

Did he not want this coat any longer?

She turned to nod apologetically at the usher, then left the place distractedly.

This place was a small city named Liuyang. It was not a big city with a population of just over a million. However, the standard of living was pretty good, it had met the conditions of a well-off city. This place was the world’s largest manufacturing site of fireworks, manufacturing over 70% of the world’s fireworks. Therefore, this city became known as the hometown of fireworks.

He Xiyan was born in a small village in this city. She had lived there for 18 years. When she was younger, they had lived in the village, but when she was about to start middle school, her parents worked to purchase a 100 square meter room in the school district here in the city, in hopes of giving her a shot at a better education.

Unfortunately, her parents pa.s.sed away one after another less than three years after purchasing the flat. Her father had pa.s.sed away in a traffic accident, while her mother pa.s.sed away from an illness. She became an orphan when she was 16; even her grandparents were no longer around.

She had studied hard since young in hopes of providing a better life for her parents when she grew older. She excelled in her studies and was accepted by a renowned local university, even landing a decent job. Unfortunately, her parents did not live to witness this.

She became an orphan at 16 after losing her parents; she lost her home. At age 24, she had now lost her husband; losing another home in the process.
